Chapter 548: Sandbar

Carrying the suitcase in his hand, Ou Yuanlan walked towards the boat step by step. Su Xue's long hair, which was standing on the deck, was blown up by the wind, obscuring the expression on her face.

Seeing that her former lover is now in danger for another woman, Su Xue only feels desolate. Today, she is not as good as a Lin Qingqing.

Ou Yuanlan, who used to love her so much, now has no nostalgia in his eyes, and even Ou Shenghuai now only regards her as a tool that can be used. Thinking about it this way, Su Xue didn't feel sad from it.

Finally got on the boat, Ou Yuanlan and Su Xue stood on the deck face to face, and the two didn't say anything. At first, they just stared at each other, and the deep pool under their eyes was like the surface of Lake Baikal in winter.

Later, for some reason, Su Xue suddenly turned her head away, and she didn't dare to take another look. At this point, she has no way back.

"Sail the boat." After giving the order, the boat staggered towards the sand island in the center of the river.

Generally, the river water flows all the way here, and it has long been carried with a large amount of sediment. When it reaches the estuary in the middle and lower reaches of the sea, the water flow is relatively slow, and the sediment is deposited, which forms the estuarine delta.

Autumn and winter are no longer the peak season for rainfall, the water level of the river drops, and the silt that has accumulated at the bottom of the river is exposed to the surface and becomes a sandbar in the middle of the river.

At this time, the direction of this steamboat happened to be the largest delta area in the center of the river, because the area is small, the water and soil are fertile, and there are many plants growing there. Although the plants are not lush in this season, they still look like they are still sporadic with greenery.

"Don't you ask why you trade in that kind of place?" Su Xue held on to the railing on the deck, with a hint of pride in her voice.

There is no need to ask these questions, Ou Yuanlan also understands clearly in his heart, the person who is fashionable and doesn't understand is actually Su Xue. "Why do you ask?" He replied lightly.

This person has always been so calm and confident, and Su Xue seems to be accustomed to it now. "You weren't like that before." She couldn't help but mention the past.

At that time, Ou Yuanlan did not have such a quiet face, although he was much more transparent than his peers, he was still a young man with strong blood.

The teenager would hug her when she was about to turn away, ask why over and over again, and express his love in an awkward way.

However, now, the mature man in front of him is always unpredictable. He never seems to ask why, he only talks about the conditions, only about the ending.

"You weren't like that before." Ou Yuanlan replied unceremoniously, but his eyes did not fall on Su Xue.

These words almost made Su Xue speechless, and the purest time of her life was probably when she was a child. At that time, her parents were still alive, and she was the white and flawless princess in the castle.

As a carefree princess, she is still a kind-hearted and compassionate existence. So when she saw the young Ou Yuanlan being isolated and bullied, she naturally couldn't help but rush to protect him.

Later, the family fell into the middle of the road, the mother died, and the stepmother entered the door. A series of accidents made Su Xue grow up quickly, and she began to understand how important money and power, which used to disdain her, are now important.

Not all growing up is good, there are Ou Yuanlan who is forced to be alone, and there are Su Xue who lost herself in the torrent of growth. Eventually, however, they were no longer what they once were.

"If you knew how much it would cost you to appear today, would you still come to save Lin Qingqing?" Su Xue still couldn't put this man to death, or from the beginning, she just wanted to return to him. It was only later, when this bubble became disillusioned, that she finally came to this point.

Nodding noncommittally, Ou Yuanlan did not hide his true thoughts. "No matter what the cost, I have to come." His voice was low.

In this world, Lin Qingqing is the only person who can give him warmth. If she really leaves, this world is just a planet for Ou Yuanlan.

The expected answer, Su Xue turned her face away and quietly wiped away her tears. She was about to say something more, but the ship was already moored.

"Miss Su Xue, the boat has docked." A strong man stepped forward and said.

Nodding slightly, Su Xue regained the coldness of her face. "Let's see if the person who delivered the goods today is here." She commanded.

The men under him were ordered to leave, and Ou Yuanlan asked tentatively, "What kind of transaction has to be carried out here?" His gloomy gaze carried a deep meaning that Su Xue couldn't understand.

"I don't know, Grandpa Ou only said that this is a very important batch of goods shipped from abroad, and it should be traded carefully." Su Xue walked to the other end of the deck and said to Ou Yuanlan.

Seeing her like this, Ou Yuanlan was sure in his heart. Old Man Ou must not have told them the truth, otherwise Su Xue would not dare to come to this transaction even if she had the audacity.

Carrying the black suitcase in his hand, Ou Yuanlan followed Su Xue down the boat. As he passed the cabin, his afterglow fell on the hatch. Although he knew very well in his heart that Lin Qingqing and Chenchen were most likely in this cabin, he also understood that now was not the time.

There is a lighthouse on the sandbar that you have to walk all the way through the overgrown plants to the top. The night is getting thicker and thicker, and a layer of mist rises on the surface of the river at night. The orange lighthouse flickered in the fog, looking like it was in a dream.

This place has not been visited by many people in the first place, and one of the paths is obscured by the wild growth of plants, so it looks particularly difficult to walk.

Su Xue, who didn't think about it so much, was wearing a pair of stiletto heels today, and she couldn't maintain her balance at all when walking on this kind of road at this time.

So after stepping into the air, Su Xue fell directly to the ground. Her knee hit the small rock, and she burst into tears in an instant from the pain.

Ou Yuanlan, who was walking behind Su Xue, planned to watch from the sidelines, but he couldn't bear to think of the picture when he fell down and was helped up by her when he was a child. So in the next second, he still reached out and dragged the woman up. "Can you still go?" His tone was cold, not warm.

Shaking her head with tears in her eyes, Su Xue replied: "I guess it's twisted, it hurts." She looked down to see her injuries, but in the darkness she couldn't see anything.

"You come and carry her." casually pointed to a strong man, Ou Yuanlan* arranged.

Facing Su Xue's eyes glowing in the dark, Ou Yuanlan chose to ignore it. He could lift her up, but a more intimate gesture was impossible.
