The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After a moment's thought, she understood what Fang Yun meant.

"Thanks..."

Carefully covering the jade box, the Seventh Sister raised her eyes and looked at Fang Yun, who was eating breakfast outside the window, and murmured softly.

At this moment, Fang Yun, who was sitting at a street stall eating a meat bun and drinking hot tea, also sensed the Seventh Sister's gaze.

After stuffing the last bite of the meat bun into his mouth, he waved to the Seventh Sister.

Seeing Fang Yun's clear and bright smile, the Seventh Sister felt a warmth on her cheeks, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

After a long silence, the Seventh Sister summoned a waiter and instructed him to properly store the jade box.

Then, a smile appeared on his face, and he strolled toward Fang Yun's stall with his hands behind his back.

"There are many fun places in Changsha, would you like to go and see them?"

Seeing the Seventh Sister walk through the crowd and ask him a question, a smile appeared on Fang Yun's face.

"do you want to go?"

"think."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Sister's bright eyes sparkled as she glanced around and nodded earnestly.

Seeing that the Seventh Sister nodded, Fang Yun stepped forward, whispered something in her ear, and then walked straight ahead.

"The fairy is about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a brocade green robe. Her eyes are bright and her demeanor is graceful and elegant. She is a true beauty."

*Plop*

Hearing the whisper in her ear, Seventh Sister's cheeks flushed instantly, and her heart pounded wildly.

Taking a deep breath, I tidied my hair and followed along with light steps.

Hearing the footsteps following behind him, Fang Yun's lips curled up, but he also felt a self-mocking laugh in his heart.

"He really is a scumbag..."

"But I'm just an ordinary person who became rich overnight, and I don't want to live a peaceful life anymore..."

......................

It was sunrise, the busiest and most lively time in Changsha.

As they walked through the streets with Fang Yun, the Seventh Sister's smile grew even brighter.

She couldn't remember the last time she felt so relaxed and joyful, or perhaps she had never felt so relaxed and joyful before.

Born and raised in the Huo family, her memories of the past consist only of the words "effort" and "exhaustion."

The older you get, the more effort you have to put in, and the more tired you feel.

I thought that the higher I climbed and the more I mastered, the more fatigue I would be able to eliminate and make up for all the pleasures I hadn't enjoyed.

But reality wasn't as rosy as she imagined.

The higher you climb, the greater your responsibilities become, and the more pressure and pain you face.

Not only do they have to face the undercurrents and dirty waters flowing towards the family, but they also have to deal with the infighting within the family.

Even so, as a woman of the Huo family, she still had to greet her with a smile.

This kind of life has numbed her somewhat; she even feels like she has become a different person, or rather, that she has acquired another soul.

A hypocritical mask that even she herself despises.

In the past two days, she has felt a sense of ease and joy that she hadn't felt in many years.

The person beside her did not bring her the weariness and hypocrisy she had long felt.

She could finally shed her pretense, temporarily put her suffering behind her, and fully enjoy the happiness that should belong to her age, savoring this rare moment of leisure.

Thinking of this, the Seventh Sister smiled faintly and looked at Fang Yun, who was walking alongside her.

Fellow traveler, similar age group, young and promising, handsome, and gentle.

It is indeed quite good.

"Seventh Miss, what's wrong?"

Suddenly, Fang Yun's question startled her from her thoughts.

Looking up, she saw Fang Yun with a warm and natural smile on his face, looking at her with a beaming smile.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something."

When Fang Yun asked her that question, Seventh Sister felt inexplicably guilty and subconsciously shook her head, avoiding Fang Yun's gaze.

But before Fang Yun could speak, the Seventh Sister took another deep breath and met Fang Yun's gaze once more.

"Are you coming again this afternoon?"

After asking the question, Seventh Sister regretted it, feeling like a thief who had stolen someone else's toy.

"Okay!"

But Fang Yun smiled and nodded at her.

Hearing Fang Yun agree without hesitation, Seventh Sister felt a surge of joy, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

Seeing the change in Seventh Sister's expression, Fang Yun couldn't help but smile.

So cute.

..............................

After walking around the street where the restaurant was located, the two returned to the street outside the restaurant.

Before entering the restaurant, Fang Yun's gaze fell on the Seventh Sister.

Upon seeing the restaurant, Seventh Sister's expression gradually returned to calm, giving off an aura that kept strangers at bay.

But during the parade, the smile on her face never stopped.

Seeing this, Fang Yun sighed inwardly, unsure of what to say.

If you cannot empathize with the joys and sorrows of others, then you have no right to offer comfort or criticism.

After glancing at the Seventh Sister, whose mood had clearly dipped considerably, Fang Yun pondered for a moment and said in a low voice:

"You have a choice."

"The Huo family had no choice."

..... ... 0

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Sister's face darkened, she lowered her head, shook it, and let out a soft breath.

Being in a powerful family means you're not in control of your own destiny; climbing up only grants you a little control over your freedom.

"I'll help you."

Fang Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and looked at the Seventh Sister with a firm gaze.

"you help me?"

The Seventh Sister, who was still looking down, trembled and quickly raised her head to meet Fang Yun's eyes, her gaze filled with disappointment.

"So you also think that what I want is the Huo family...?"

"Do not."

Fang Yun smiled and gently touched the Seventh Sister's forehead.

"Want to come with me? I'll take care of you by raiding tombs."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the Seventh Sister was immediately stunned.

In fact, she could also sense the pursuit that Fang Yun was giving her.

She didn't dislike him at all; in fact, she felt that Fang Yun was very suitable for her, both from the perspective of family interests and from her own personal feelings.

She's been really happy these past two days.

Therefore, her attitude towards Fang Yun has always been one of not rejecting him and letting things take their natural course.

But now... Fang Yun is asking her so bluntly.

Suddenly, a strange panic welled up inside her, and she subconsciously lowered her head to avoid Fang Yun's gaze.

My heart was filled with both surprise and anticipation, as well as hesitation and trepidation.

Seeing the Seventh Sister's bewildered expression, Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

The Seventh Sister is very much like a flower, tough on the outside but gentle on the inside. Seeing her like this, he already knew the answer.

"Don't just stand at the door, come inside. I'll have Hua call you this afternoon."

While the Seventh Sister was lost in thought, Fang Yun ruffled her hair and then walked quickly into the restaurant with a smile.

Fang Yun was the first to leave.

Seventh Sister breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and secretly glanced at Fang Yun's back, straightening her hair as she smiled.

"This feeling is really great." (Factory)
