99 Being Followed

Qiao Yue nodded with a smile. Seeing that it was almost time to board the plane, she didn’t open the box but followed Qiao Jing directly to the gate.

It wasn’t until they got on the plane that Qiao Yue found out that other than the gift for her, Qiao Xuan had also prepared some local specialties he bought from wherever he went, indicating that she could share them with her classmates.

Qiao Yue couldn’t help but sigh at Qiao Xuan’s thoughtfulness. No wonder his siblings all listened to him.

Sitting next to Qiao Jing, Qiao Yue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw him leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed as if he was going to catch up on sleep.

“You didn’t sleep well last night?” Qiao Yue asked tentatively.

“Yes,” Qiao Jing replied lightly.

Seeing Qiao Jing close his eyes, Qiao Yue began to size him up brazenly. It was only then that she noticed the dark circles under his eyes.

It seemed that last night’s incident had not only affected her but also Qiao Jing. It was only because his behavior today was too normal that he didn’t attract her attention.

Qiao Yue’s gaze wandered over Qiao Jing’s face. He still had that cold, abstinent, and unapproachable look, but she remembered last night, those eyes had been filled with her figure, and as she got closer, they seemed somewhat wet, cold but charming.

After looking at him for a long time, Qiao Yue felt sleepy, and unknowingly leaned back in her chair and fell asleep.

Not feeling the burning gaze anymore, Qiao Jing slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions. Had he really drunk too much yesterday?

Qiao Jing did not usually drink, but when the Old Master woke up yesterday, he had drunk a little on a whim. He did not expect that something like that would happen.

Qiao Jing sighed, looked at the fast-asleep Qiao Yue, and put her head on his shoulder. From the first time when he had been stiff to how he was so familiar with doing the same thing now, he could feel that his care for Qiao Yue was more than any of his feelings toward his other brothers. However, he had to admit that who could refuse someone willing to take the initiative to get close?

Qiao Yue slept until the plane landed. However, as soon as she got off the plane, she felt that someone was sizing her up. With that, she quietly retreated behind Qiao Jing. Behind him were Qiao Ze, Qiao Yu, and the others, who covered Qiao Yue’s figure.

“Eh? Why is Xiao Yue here? Is it because it’s too cold to walk with that ice block, Qiao Jing, so you’re looking for your third brother to warm up?” Qiao Ze said with a smile.

However, Qiao Yue wasn’t in the mood to talk to him about anything else. She only said a few words perfunctorily before carefully observing the surrounding environment.

Since Trand didn’t go straight to the Qiao family, it meant that he didn’t see her face clearly that day. He would probably look for her by her figure and voice. Someone at the airport must have noticed her, but the other party was probably not sure, so they kept looking at her.

Qiao Yue’s eyes darkened, and when she passed by the bathroom, she told Qiao Jing that she needed the bathroom before going in.

[Hong’an Airport, male, age 30-40. Black jacket, sweatpants, and sneakers, with Skecher’s black cap. Take him out.]

She received an “OK” in less than two minutes.

As soon as Qiao Yue came out of the toilet cubicle, she saw someone using the urinal. She pretended not to see anything and walked out of the men’s room with a normal expression.

When she arrived at the public area between the male and female restrooms, she did not forget to wash her hands before leaving.

Qiao Yue walked over to Qiao Jing and smiled at him. “Brother, I’m hungry. Why don’t we grab something to eat here?”

“Here?” Qiao Jing asked, frowning.

Qiao Yue nodded. She had to let that person follow her for a while longer, “I’ve never tried airport meals before and I want to try it.”

She looked around and pointed at a ramen shop. Without waiting for Qiao Jing to object, she shouted at Qiao Ze, “Third brother, you can go back first! I’ll have a bowl of noodles with Brother Jing before going back.”

When she came out just now, she heard Qiao Xin asking Qiao Ze about his job. It was quite probable that the latter had been urged to go back to work again while she was in the toilet.

Qiao Ze’s eyes were full of surprise. He looked at Qiao Yue and then at Qiao Jing, “You guys are going for ramen?”

Qiao Yue flashed her white teeth at Qiao Ze, “Bye-bye, third brother. We’re leaving.”

With that, Qiao Yue grabbed Qiao Jing’s wrist and headed for the ramen shop, not giving Qiao Ze any chance to ask any more questions.

Qiao Ze touched the bridge of his nose as he muttered, “I didn’t say you guys can’t go, but at least bring me along!”

Qiao Yu patted Qiao Ze’s shoulder to comfort him, “Brother, hurry up and go to work. Don’t always think about skipping work.”
