Chapter 1179 - Bumping into Him (2/2)

Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully. “Okay, I’ll ask a.s.sistant Fang to book the ticket.”

“I’ve never been there before, so I’ll go with you!”

“Okay.”

…

When Xia Yanran arrived in Tibet, it was almost evening. The temperature in Tibet at night was somewhat cool and Xia Yanran was not used to it. She caught a cold the first night she was there.

For some reason, she was also somewhat breathless and did not sleep well at all. When she woke up the next morning, she was tired and bloated.

Fortunately, no one knew her in this place.

Xia Yanran had a glib tongue and soon she became acquainted with the lady owner of the hotel.

She took out two pictures and showed it to the lady owner with a charming smile. “Have you seen these two girls before? We used to be good friends and planned to come to Tibet together, but I went abroad and lost contact with them.”

The pictures were drawn by Xia Yanran. She did not have any photographs of Yi Ran and Xiaoxi, so she could only draw out their appearance from her memory.

The lady owner looked at it and shook her head. “There are many guests coming and going from our hotel all year long. How can I remember?”

“These two friends are really important to me. Can you think about it carefully?”

Seeing the tears welling up in Xia Yanran’s eyes, the lady owner who had a good impression on Xia Yanran, felt pity for her. “Don’t cry. I really can’t remember. But I can ask around the bosses of the few hotels I’m familiar with. Can you let me take a picture of it?”

“Of course!”

…

Instead of sitting in the hotel to wait for the lady owner’s news, Xia Yanran went to the temple. Her alt.i.tude sickness was getting more serious and her lips were already starting to chap.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, the lady owner called Xia Yanran and told her that someone remembered those two girls.

Hearing this, Xia Yanran immediately hurried back to the hotel. The lady owner took Xia Yanran to another hotel and the owner was a thin and middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said to Xia Yanran, “I definitely remember these two girls. Because two years ago, they stayed in my hotel. The second night they stayed here, someone smoked in the hotel and caused a fire. One of the girls almost had her face disfigured. Later, I took them to the hospital and paid the medical fee. When the police closed the case, I never contacted them again.

“But a few days ago, I met that girl when I went to the Guangyin Temple. She seemed to have become a nun. I don’t know if it was that fire that made her convert to Buddhism!”

Xia Yanran could not help sighing in her heart, but she was slightly excited. After all, she had news about Xiaoxi and did not come here for nothing.

“Boss, can you take me to that temple?”

The boss called over one of his staff. “I’ll let him take you there!”

After thanking him, Xia Yanran followed that staff to Guangyin Temple.

Guangyin Temple was situated on a high mountain and there were no roads, only a deep path that people could just barely pa.s.s through.

Xia Yanran was carrying an oxygen bag and coming to Tibet and climbing the mountain, every step she took was extremely laborious.

Her face was pale and she held onto the chains of the small path. Her legs felt weak and her body was swaying slightly.

Just when she was going up a step, she suddenly lost her balance and fell backwards uncontrollably.

Xia Yanran did not want to b.u.mp into the people behind. If she fell, she would implicate many people. She grabbed at the chain subconsciously.

But, a pair of large hands that suddenly reached out from behind her was faster than her actions. Her waist was firmly held from behind and half of the fingertips of the person were pressed against her perky b.u.t.tocks.

Xia Yanran was slightly fl.u.s.tered and embarra.s.sed. After she stood firm, she avoided that pair of hands behind her. Not daring to turn and look at who had held her, she said thank you and hurriedly caught up with the staff who ws showing her the way.

“Wow, the hero rescued the beauty!”

Xia Yanran had taken a few steps when a woman’s voice sounded from behind. Hearing it, she felt that it was somewhat familiar.
