Chapter 155 Movie Storyboards
Chapter 155 Movie Storyboards
After carefully putting away the floor tiles, the layer of sand on top floated away, revealing a wooden board.
Bai Yaoyao took down the tiles one by one along the edge of the wooden board and put them away.
The entire wooden board was about one person wide, and when it was lifted up, a large black hole was revealed underneath.
The entrance of the hole was very rough and obviously dug out temporarily.
Bai Yaoyao took out a flashlight and shone it inside. The hole was quite deep, about two meters high.
Because I was worried that the weapons would be damaged if I stood on it to put things down, and I was also afraid that the box would fall into the hole and make too much noise, alerting others.
So Bai Yaoyao stood at the entrance of the cave and jumped down carefully.
Bend your legs slightly when landing to minimize movement.
The flashlight's light circled around, and the hole was about three square meters in size.
Bai Yaoyao looked at this space that exuded the scent of fresh earth and was secretly amazed. She couldn't help but admire Gu Chengfeng and other special operations personnel.
It had only been a day or two since she came here with weapons.
It was really difficult for them to sneak into the auction venue and dig such a big hole in such a short time. I don’t know how they transported so much soil out.
Time was running out and Bai Yaoyao had no time to think too much. She piled all the things she brought neatly in the hole and then stepped on the boxes to get out of the pit.
After restoring the tool room to its original state, Bai Yaoyao put his ear to the door and listened to the noise outside for a long time.
After confirming that there was no one in the bathroom, he quickly moved out of the tool room and locked the door.
After everything was done, Bai Yaoyao quickly walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and washed off the dirt that had accidentally gotten on her hands.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now her heart was in her throat and the nerves in her brain were tense.
Looking at the relieved face in the mirror, she felt her body go weak. The apricot dress she had specially picked out for the auction was already soaked with cold sweat.
At this moment, the cool breeze from the ceiling of the bathroom blew, and the skin-friendly fabric of the dress stuck tightly to her body. The cold touch made her tremble all over.
It seems like a long time, but in fact, it only took Bai Yaoyao less than ten minutes from the time she entered the bathroom to the time she came out.
After trying hard to calm herself down, Bai Yaoyao walked out the door and prepared to return to her seat.
As she passed the small door leading to the terrace in the corner, she suddenly heard a voice that she remembered vividly.
"Nonsense! Who told you to go to China on your own?!"
Bai Yaoyao seemed to be under a spell and rubbed her ears in disbelief.
Did she hear it wrong?
This familiar voice...
For a moment, Bai Yaoyao felt that her heart was beating even faster than when she was in the bathroom just now.
She swallowed, took two steps back quietly, and returned to the small door with a crack.
She leaned one side of her body against the wall and looked carefully at the two people on the terrace through the crack in the door that was not tightly closed.
One is the arrogant and domineering young lady whom I have met a few times.
The other one was a middle-aged man with long eyebrows, a high nose bridge and a square face.
really him? !
Bai Yaoyao's face was full of disbelief and her whole body was trembling slightly.
how many years?
Unexpectedly, he still looked the same as before, with only the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes reminding her of the traces of time left between them.
She looked at the face that was very familiar yet seemed a little strange in a daze.
I called out "Dad" silently in my heart...
"father!"
A somewhat gentle female voice sounded in sync with her inner voice.
Bai Yaoyao's heart seemed to be plucked by someone. The sudden pain made her eyes ache and she almost cried.
Bai Yaoyao looked at the young lady with tears in her eyes as she pulled the middle-aged man's arm and shook it like a spoiled child.
"Dad! I have almost arranged everything in China! Please don't let me go back to the United States!"
"No! The layout in China is of great importance! Don't wade into this muddy water! Hand over the matter in your hands to Robert! Don't go again!"
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, but his tone was not harsh, but rather gentle, as if he was reluctant to say a harsh word to the person in front of him.
Bai Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat.
The last two years before my parents' divorce seemed to reappear in front of my eyes, when he glared at me angrily.
"Why are you so disappointing? Why didn't you get first place in the exam?"
"Cry, cry, cry! You just know how to cry! Just like your mother! You stay at home doing nothing every day, just waiting for me to make money to support you, and you still give me a bad face!"
Bai Yaoyao felt as if the scene in front of her eyes was split apart by time and turned into a storyboard of a movie.
On the left were the memories that had been tugging at her. The tall man frowned and scolded her for being so ignorant. Just like her sick mother, not only could she not win face for him, but she also only held him back.
On the right was the young lady whom she had met a few times. She ignored the middle-aged man's rebuke, let go of his hand, stamped her feet, and said angrily in a somewhat coquettish manner:
"I don't care! Anyway, I have already contacted the Chinese side! Changing people now will easily alert the enemy! I'm going! You can't stop me!"
Bai Yaoyao watched the middle-aged man who had been very stern just now sigh helplessly and said in a compromising manner: "Okay! You have grown up! Dad has always protected you under his wings, and it's time for you to go out and gain some experience!"
The eldest lady's anger immediately turned into joy, a bright smile appeared on her bright face, and she grabbed the man's hand again and shook it like a coquettish child.
"I know that my father loves me the most!"
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said lovingly: "I really can't do anything about you!"
Bai Yaoyao felt extremely sad. She stopped peeking at the affectionate father and daughter on the terrace and ran back to the bathroom with staggering steps as if escaping.
He turned on the faucet and desperately scooped up the cold water with both hands and splashed it on his cheeks.
It took him a long while to raise his head and look at himself in the mirror. His eyes were red and his wet hair was sticking to his cheeks.
A few drops of water slid down her smooth face into the corners of her mouth. She couldn't tell whether they were water or tears. The salty taste instantly spread from the corners of her mouth to her heart.
The man also gently lifted up the little person who was wrapped around his feet and wouldn't let him go, then held him in his arms and gently comforted him, saying, Yaoyao, be good, Dad will bring you the sweetest and most delicious candy when he comes back from his business trip!
The pair of warm hands had also touched her forehead affectionately, saying, "Yaoyao, you clingy little thing! Can't you live without your daddy for a day? How about daddy put you in his pocket and take you with him wherever he goes?"
Her father's embrace was too warm and his figure was too majestic during her childhood, so much so that after she started elementary school, when her mother was bedridden for two years, he suddenly changed his attitude. He despised her mother who was skinny due to illness, and hated her for her ordinary looks and even more ordinary grades, but she still had fantasies about him.
Maybe one day, the father she once loved the most will become the same again...
