Chapter 1361 - I Only Want You (1/2)

“Have you ever had a boyfriend?”

Jing Chu answered, “No.”

He got out of bed and handed her a bathrobe. “Go take a shower and change into this. I’ll bring you out of here later.”

She grabbed the bathrobe and headed to the bathroom. She stared at her reflection in the mirror to see that the fire had left lots of bald spots on her scalp. She was overwhelmed with excruciating pain. If she had not fallen off the cliff in time, she would have become charred.

She dared not take a thorough shower, for fear that she would aggravate her wounds. Hence, she came out of the bathroom soon after.

At this moment, the sky had yet to brighten. Pei Yi brought her away from the tourist attraction.

He had initially wanted to stay for a few more days. However, he decided that it would be fine to leave now too.

Jing Chu would need her passport to leave the nation. Hence, Pei Yi had no choice but to choose to cross the borders illegally for her sake.

He did not get his subordinates to register a passport for Jing Chu because she was stuck in a tricky predicament. They would be in a lot of trouble if the people were to discover that Jing Chu was still alive.

However, it was indeed very uncomfortable to cross the borders illegally by being a stowaway.

There was a twelve-hour time difference between R Nation and S Nation. They left S Nation at eight o’clock in the morning and arrived in R Nation in the morning as well due to the time difference.

Instead of taking her straight to Mount Qingping, Pei Yi brought her back to his own abode instead.

It was a large mansion that strangely did not have any servants.

However, he had hired a part-time maid who would come at regular intervals to tidy the place.

Hence, the mansion was kept spick and span even though he had not lived there for a long time.

“You shall stay here. There’s a supermarket outside. Don’t wander off too far.”

Jing Chu asked softly, “How about you?”

“I won’t be coming back often so stay here by yourself. The security of this estate is rather tight. Those people from S Nation must think that you’re already dead. Hence, no one will come and disturb your peace. I’ll give you my mobile number. Call me if something happens.”

“What am I supposed to do then…?” Jing Chu asked.

Pei Yi scanned her from head to toe and said, “Rest well and recuperate. By the way, come here.”

Jing Chu had no idea what he wanted and thus followed him into the room.

He then walked toward an electronic scale and switched it on. Pointing at the scale, he said, “Stand on it.”

She stepped onto the scale slowly, after which the display showed that she weighed 40 kilograms.

She was tall yet dangerously emaciated.

He whipped out a wad of cash and handed it to her. “I hope you’ll have gained ten kilograms the next time I see you.”

Jing Chu accepted the money.

Fortunately, she had already learned the basic skills of life when she was in the village. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known what to do with the money either.

Pei Yi left shortly after.

Jing Chu exited from the bedroom and put on his pajamas and his cap before heading to the supermarket outside.

It was rather tough for Jing Chu to live alone in such a spacious house since she did not know how to cook or use household appliances. She could barely read or write either…

Nonetheless, she decided to go out to buy herself some clothes and shoes, as well as some groceries that she filled the refrigerator up with.

She had also bought a cheap mobile phone and saved Pei Yi’s mobile number.
