Intense Love - Chapter 87

Chapter 87 – Reunited

Thank goodness for Su Jinbei’s God-level high-heel-walking skills, otherwise the ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to walk a few steps on the slippery ground.

After half an hour, the four finally found houses and stable ground.

“Jinbei, your shoes are ruined.” Young nurse Lailai said, in distress. It must be a crime for these types of shoes to be ruined like this.

Su Jinbei looked down. Not only were her shoes dirty, her feet were also stained with mud. However, what crossed her mind was not whether her shoes were ruined, but whether a cleanliness freak like Zhou Shiyun would be disgusted seeing them.

“You guys give me a minute.”

There were a few houses not far up front. Su Jinbei walked towards the nearest house.

The house was an old style single-family house with a small courtyard. Although it looked a bit rundown, it was still quite well-kempt. The courtyard was occupied by an elderly and a pair of husband and wife at the time, and next to the pair of spouses stood a little girl who looked to be around seven or eight years old.

They had all been working when Su Jinbei came in. Their eyes fixed on her and they forgot all about their work.

“Hello.” Su Jinbei stood at the entrance of the courtyard and asked the elderly, the person closest to her, “Grandma, may I please have some water? I’d like to clean up some mud.”

“…”

“Uh, if not, an unused towel is fine, or… paper?”

The old woman didn’t respond for a long time. Finally, the young woman inside came over and said in heavy Mandarin dialect, “There is water. My mother doesn’t understand Mandarin very well.”

As she spoke, the young woman poured her some water.

Su Jinbei thanked her and then washed the soil on her feet with water. After she was clean, Su Jinbei put down the basin and thanked the young woman again.

The woman waved her hand, “It’s no big deal, no need to thank me.”

Su Jinbei nodded and planned to leave. But before she left, she found that the little girl standing on the side was looking at her timidly. The little girl had darker skin and cherub cheeks, her doe-like eyes sparkly and beautiful.

Su Jinbei’s heart melted. She rummaged through her bag for an unopened can of fruit candy, “Here. These are delicious. Thanks for lending me water.”

The little girl didn’t dare accept.

“It’s okay, you can eat it.” Su Jinbei smiled and put the candy next to her. “I’m leaving, goodbye.”

After Su Jinbei left, the whole family turned one more time towards her. The young woman’s eyes contained curiosity and envy. Such fair skin was something women over here could never have…

Lin Qingwei and the others were waiting at the door. When Su Jinbei came out, they set off towards where the medical team was. Along the way, the four of them – no, mainly Su Jinbei – attracted the eyes of many locals.

They had seen a group of doctors in white coats come over two days ago so they weren’t confused by the appearance of Lin Qingwei and the other white-clothed people. However, Su Jinbei was just too eye-catching.

Exquisite makeup, oversized red jacket, tight short skirt and those high-heeled shoes… In the eyes of the mountain locals who were cut off from the internet, her whole get-up could be considered ‘universally shocking’.

“I see Senior Brother!” Lin Qingwei exclaimed.

Su Jinbei looked up and saw many people in front of the three-story building not far away. Zhou Shiyun’s team was running a free clinic so many locals had gathered.

All the outpatient doctors were wearing the same clothes, yet Su Jinbei could identify Zhou Shiyun in a split second.

Maybe because she finally saw him after her arduous journey, Su Jinbei’s heart surged with joy the moment she saw him. She felt like the yearning in her heart could overflow. So, without thinking about it, she put down her backpack and quickly ran to Zhou Shiyun on high heels.

Zhou Shiyun was explaining things to a young nurse in front of the building.

“Baby Zhou!”

A familiar voice came suddenly from behind him. Zhou Shiyun froze, thinking it was just an illusion. How could he hear Su Jinbei’s voice here?
