Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Bang!

He shoved the door open violently, Jiang Wenyu panting heavily as he ran outside, looking left and right, scanning everywhere, yet he saw no sign of Chen Lan and Nuan Nuan.

"Where did they go…"

"Where did they go!!"

The sky was dim, and his heart was also restless and uneasy.

Relying on memory, he quickly reached the district's main road; there were hardly any people here, the road surface uneven, yet he remembered this place deeply.

Suddenly, a piercing sound came from the left; his whole body trembled uncontrollably as if struck by lightning, he turned his head to look — a rare green pickup truck was blaring its loud horn, emitting a harsh noise as it sped down the main road, passing before Jiang Wenyu's continuously contracting pupils, finally disappearing at the road's end.

His chest heaved nonstop, only then did he abruptly come to his senses.

"Xiao Lan, Nuan Nuan!" He ran off like a madman, instantly locking onto a direction.

His pale face even turned a livid purple, the unease in his heart growing ever more severe.

"Yo, Young Master, what a coincidence, running into you again!"

Ahead, walking toward him was the slovenly Zhou He; seeing Jiang Wenyu in such a panic, he blocked the way, but just as he was about to speak, Jiang Wenyu swung a fist straight into his face.

"Get lost!"

Under that furious roar, Zhou He was knocked flying by a single punch, crashing heavily to the ground, wailing in pain incessantly. Jiang Wenyu, however, kept a cold face and continued sprinting, not sparing him a glance.

"Jiang… Jiang Wenyu, you crazy son of a bitch! Ow… it hurts like hell!"

Jiang Wenyu had indeed gone mad, madly searching for any trace of Chen Lan and Nuan Nuan.

Who knew how much time had passed; when he lifted his head again, he discovered he was standing outside the gate of an unfamiliar factory, the gate tightly shut, a sign bearing the words of some Clothing Factory printed on it.

This was precisely where Chen Lan worked.

But at this moment, not a single person could be seen entering or leaving; his heart instantly turned icy cold, he stood rooted to the spot at a loss, in that brief instant feeling as if the sky had collapsed.

"Huh, you… why are you here?"

Right then, a familiar yet surprised voice came from the side. Jiang Wenyu's body jerked violently, and he instinctively turned to look.

There, Chen Lan was walking over slowly holding Nuan Nuan, a hint of astonishment on her face; when she saw Jiang Wenyu's pale complexion, she too froze for a moment, then hurried over at a light jog.

"What's wrong?" She crouched down to set Nuan Nuan down, her fair palm pressing against Jiang Wenyu's forehead, her face full of worry.

During this time, Jiang Wenyu kept staring at her fixedly, his breath nearly stopping, his fiercely pounding heart finally relaxing slightly; looking at this beautiful woman before him, at the lingering scars on her arms, and at her somewhat rough hair.

Jiang Wenyu pressed his lips together, all longing and emotion erupting in this instant; he pulled Chen Lan tightly into his embrace.

"Ah!"

Chen Lan was startled by his sudden action, momentarily surprised; she shifted slightly, but Jiang Wenyu held her tight.

Not a word was spoken, yet he seemed to be sobbing softly.

Chen Lan stopped struggling, her expression softening; she simply relaxed her body and let him hold her tightly.

To the side, Jiang Nuannuan watched this scene with wide eyes, also making no sound.

After a good while, Jiang Wenyu finally let her go; his pale complexion turned ruddy again, and he gazed at her with a sincere smile.

Chen Lan, on the contrary, was a bit at a loss; they hadn't been this intimately close in a long time, and for a moment she blushed under Jiang Wenyu's gaze, only able to ask in a low voice: "You… what's wrong with you today?"

Jiang Wenyu kept smiling, did not answer, and there was no need to answer anything. The unease in his heart completely crumbled in this moment.

Chen Lan and Jiang Nuannuan were still alive, on this very day when an accident should have occurred, they were still alive and well.

They stood up, Jiang Wenyu carrying Nuannuan, the two walking shoulder to shoulder toward home, the distance between them very, very close.
