The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 332 - 277: End of the Scandal (Part 3)

Bi Shi jumped in too, asking if I had been dumped by those awful humans, suggesting that the tragic history was repeating itself.

I told her not to get involved in the drama, others may be clueless, but she knew the truth.

Bi Shi said she always felt there was something between me and Qinghan, regardless of the publicly claimed excuses, it was just her sense.

And I was at a loss for words. To say it’s impossible, we’re just ordinary friends, but having never had friends before, how would I know what ordinary friends are like?

If I admit, yes, we had something going on, what exactly is it? What are the specific manifestations, what’s the standard of measurement?

Everything I know about love between men and women comes from the internet, TV dramas, movies, cinematic love stories, I can sure they have never happened to me.

If someone asked me Qinghan’s position in my heart, the only thing I could confirm is that he’s a special presence, someone I can trust. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Baozi, Ke’er, and the onlookers in the work chat all believed that the appearance of the Sakura goddess directly or indirectly caused Qinghan and I to break up.

I believe Qinghan wouldn’t use people for no reason, he previously asked me to be a shield because I’m thick-skinned, strong, and wouldn’t die easily.

So this time it’s likely the same, the Sakura goddess wouldn’t be hurt in this ’third-party’ commotion.

After all, Qinghan said it was a single trip, he didn’t mention he has a new love, the goddess is just a partner, others have no evidence, as long as Qinghan remains single, her suspicion will naturally be cleared.

But things didn’t develop as I expected, I went from ’victim’ to an onlooker, even though I explained to Baozi and the others that I already lost feelings for Qinghan, even saying that ’the good you imagined when not together turned bland once you actually got together’ kind of nonsense, but they stubbornly believed it was because of a third party.

I even wanted to say, given Qinghan’s nature, if he truly fancied someone, he wouldn’t leave a chance for a third party, you should trust him.

But alas, these words can’t be said bluntly, I just expressed complete trust in Qinghan’s character, and insisted on the narrative of a relationship breakdown.

In reality, the issue did stem from the Sakura goddess, Qinghan announced the breakup without including her, but she insisted on stealing the spotlight.

I began to suspect Qinghan’s romantic troubles had a dimming effect on people’s intelligence, normally smart girls turn foolish once they fancy him.

Just like those stereotypical villains in novels, lacking intelligence, a typical tool man.

The specific operation was the goddess sneaking a picture of Qinghan’s sleeping face from the window of a tent while he was asleep, and posted it on her social media with the caption ’this is my tranquil times.’

Whether the times are good or not, I don’t know, but I do know that the fangirls who saw the picture weren’t good, their little prince of the tomb had a secret fan, tear, they must tear!

I really wanted to tell the goddess, if you want to take a picture, then take it, keep it on your phone and sneak a peek, what’s the point of flaunting it? The brave love you think you’re showing isn’t seen the same by others.

Given we’ve already ’broken up’, even if I want to care about an ally, I have to hold back, wait for the storm to pass, then we can proceed to the next step: forgiving each other and remain friends.

If I speak for the goddess now, I’d surely be scolded as a saint, if not then a white lotus, but most importantly, it wouldn’t have any positive effect.

Yet I can’t follow others in condemning her, so I can only choose to remain silent, resulting in people thinking I’m silently licking my wounds.

The emotional uproar continued to ferment, ending with Qinghan and his team’s loss of contact, finally shifting everyone’s focus back to their mission.

Previously Bi Shi located the tomb’s position and sent the coordinates to Qinghan, they supposedly should have had no difficulty in finding the tomb.

The loss of contact might be due to entering deep underground, where phones lose signals, and satellite watches could be interfered, similar situations happen too often on missions.

Until another month passed, summer was over and autumn arrived, a visitor came to the archive where I work.

"Captain? You’re looking for me?" I had only met this person once, but he left a deep impression, because beneath his rugged and stern exterior, lay a heart filled with familial concern.

There’s a reception room at the entrance of the archive, as the Captain saw me coming out, he immediately approached, "Little Leng..."

He wanted to say something but hesitated, I quickly took the initiative to ask, "Is there something wrong?"

"You’ve heard about Chen’s loss of contact, right?"

"I have, has there been any news?"

"No, that’s why I’m here to find you, Chen mentioned you’re very capable, during the previous missions you saved him more than once, initially the higher-ups didn’t agree to your transfer because frontline work needed people, especially talents like you, but Chen was very insistent... I know, you two have separated, but could you join the rescue team and go to save him once more? Even if it’s for old times’ sake..."

"When do we set off?"

"Ah? Ah, preferably today."

"Alright." Compared to life and death, gossip is merely a trivial matter, now Qinghan’s life is at risk, naturally, I have to do my utmost to save him, how others view this doesn’t matter at all.
