Chapter 269: Chapter 269: The Village Does Not Exist

Li Miao also wanted to play with Qiao Yun, and after they had finished eating, she messaged Qiao Yun.

“Come over this weekend to play the latest VR game at my house.”

Qiao Yun naturally wouldn’t refuse Li Miao’s invitation and readily agreed.

After replying to the message, Qiao Yun saw someone had sent her a friend request.

It was Lu Shiran.

He must have gotten her contact information from Grandma and Grandpa.

...

Qiao Yun clicked to accept.

“…”

“…?”

“Don’t get me wrong, I added you as a friend because I wanted to ask about some functions of Gun Gun, I’ve been researching it for half a day.”

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow and truthfully told him some of the functions of Gun Gun.

It was quiet on the other side for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a sentence.

“For Gun Gun’s sake, I’ll acknowledge you as my sister.”

Qiao Yun replied concisely, “Oh.”

Lu Shiran was holding his phone, glaring at the word “oh,” finding it increasingly displeasing no matter how he looked at it.

Just “oh”? That’s all?

In the end, he lay on the desk with his face to the side, his brow slightly furrowed, looking aggrieved.

The old lady saw her little grandson’s unhappy face and asked, “Yo, what’s wrong, why such a long face as if the sky has fallen?”

“Grandma, am I very annoying?” Lu Shiran pouted with grievance.

He had no sister and didn’t plan on having one.

Lu Ting was technically a sister, but their relationship wasn’t close.

However, Qiao Yun was fair-skinned and cute, a look that he quite fancied.

“My dear grandson, why would you think that, Grandma treasures you so much.” The old lady didn’t know what got into Lu Shiran, but it was always safe to go along with him at times like this.

Lu Shiran continued to lie in another direction, “But my sister doesn’t treasure me.”

Looking at her grandson’s lonely back, the grandmother pressed down the laughter that threatened to escape.

“That’s easy, just pamper her a bit more and she’ll start to treasure you. Didn’t Qiaoqiao give you a gift? She surely treasures you.”

Lu Shiran scoffed, “I’m a man, I don’t need to pamper women.”

The old lady couldn’t be bothered with him anymore, “Okay, okay, then let Qiaoqiao dislike you.”

Lu Shiran: “…”

Then I’ll consider… how to pamper her.

Over at the Lu Family’s house, Lu Rui received a phone call.

“You say you can’t find it?”

“Yes, I’ve asked around, they say there’s no such village, and it can’t be found on the map either.”

“Impossible, that village exists for real, I’ve even been there, how could it just disappear?”

“Mr. Lu, I’ve asked a lot of people, indeed no one knows of this village.”

“That village is deep in the mountains, it probably doesn’t contact the outside world much.”

Lu Rui’s brows were tightly knotted, “Then go to the police station and ask, there should be a record.”

“All right, I got it.”

Lu Rui pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a slight sigh.

Qiaoqiao’s former village, could it be so secluded?

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

From his father’s conversation just now, Lu Jingzhi guessed the village was probably the one his sister was from.

Lu Rui told Lu Jingzhi about his intention to donate to the village where Qiao Yun used to live, and that the people he sent couldn’t find the village.

“This is ridiculous, there’s no way a whole village could just not exist.”

“Of course it exists, otherwise what I visited before was a Ghost Village?” Lu Rui still thought it was because the village was too remote.

Lu Jingzhi pondered for a moment before saying uncertainly, “Dad, one person not knowing is normal, but a group of people not knowing is a bit strange, isn’t it?”

Lu Rui was startled, he hadn’t thought that deeply.

“Do you still remember the way, Dad?”

The more Lu Jingzhi thought about it, the more something seemed off. Could it be that the villagers didn’t interact with outsiders at all?

Indigenous people?
