Shu Nian was inexplicably relieved by the cursing that followed.

The next moment, the man who she bumped into made a noise.

The voice was rough, heavy and low. It was somewhat sexy and a little familiar too.

“Little girl.”

Shu Nian raised her head.

The man didn’t have an umbrella and wore a waterproof jacket instead. The coat was loose but the hat was pulled over the head and a few stubbles were on his chin. He had a handsome face and a tall, strong figure.

It was someone she knew.

He You or Police Officer He as Deng Qingyu had called him.

He You glanced and observed the situation over there but he wasn’t too bothered about it. He subconsciously touched his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes before quickly putting it back. He looked at Shu Nian: “What’s with this expression?”

Shu Nian didn’t say anything. Upon seeing that, He You lowered his head and noticed her pale face. He raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: “Oh, are you being followed again?”

“…”

Shu Nian’s lips were drawn into a thin line. She held her bag with one hand and changed the topic: “There seems to be a car accident over there, aren’t you going to see it?”

He You hummed lightly: “What does traffic police work got to do with me?”

Shu Nian said: “Then I will go back first.”

“Don’t want me to send you off?” He You didn’t notice her emotions and laughed twice. “Don’t scare yourself all the time or else I’ll think that you’re trying to hit on me.”

Shu Nian’s footsteps stopped and she frowned, only thinking that he was being a fool. She squeezed the bag in her hand, smoothing out the wrinkles and turned to look at the black Bentley: “There is someone…”

Her voice was low and slow, she suddenly paused.

At that moment, the back seat window of the black Bentley was half opened and a man sitting in the back seat could be clearly seen. It looked like he was straight out of a picture. He had his elbow on the car window. His face was icy, half of it was in the dark. His side profile was profound.

He laid his eyes on her without any concealment.

Looking up.

Shu Nian suddenly couldn’t speak.

He You waited for a few seconds but didn’t get to hear her next words. He looked down, then he took the umbrella in her hand and used it to cover most of her body: “Alright, let’s go.”

Shu Nian retracted her gaze, feeling stunned: “Where?”

“Where else can we go?” He You’s tone changed at the end and he laughed. “To send you home, little girl.”

Shu Nian replied and followed him. She couldn’t help but think of the Bentley again. However, when she looked over there again, she found that the back seat window had already closed.

The black mirror reflected the light of the street lamp.

He You seemed to have other things to do.

On the way, Shu Nian heard him pick up a call and it seemed like the other person was urging him. He You didn’t have much patience so he yelled at the caller. “Okay, I’m going. I’ll be there after changing my clothes.”

Shu Nian was so scared by him that she stepped in a puddle.

Both of them were splashed.

He You looked at her blankly: “Did you jump the fuck in?”

Shu Nian was in a bad mood from looking at her white shoes, which were dirty. She frowned.

" "

“Big sister, why won’t you say a single word?” He You hung up the phone and said helplessly. “You’re like a dull gourd.”

After thinking about it, Shu Nian did feel that it was rude for her to continue acting like that so she obediently changed the topic: “Are you going home too?”

“Yes, I forgot to bring an umbrella. I’m wet all over. I am going back to change my clothes before coming out again.” He You reached out and wiped his wet face. “I’m freezing.”

Shu Nian understood: “You’re not actually sending me home but to rob me of my umbrella.”

“…”

He You’s expression was a bit difficult to describe, he instantly became unhappy: “You talk too fucking much.”

There was no elevator in Shu Nian’s apartment.

The corridor was not narrow, the lighting was sound-controlled and very bright.

Shu Nian lived on the second floor, so they just needed to climb one set of stairs. She hung the umbrella next to the shoe rack and did not rush to close the door. She looked up and said: “Officer He, do you drink rock sugar pear? My mother made some.”

He You lived one floor above Shu Nian. At that time, he had walked to the door of his apartment. He took out his keys and waved his hand: “Nah, I still have to go out in a while but thank auntie for me.”

Shu Nian hummed and didn’t insist. She closed the door and didn’t forget to lock it. She was exhausted and threw her bag on the sofa, but she still wandered around to every corner of the house. She checked the doors and windows before returning to the living room.

She picked up the dirty pair of white shoes and went into the bathroom.

Shu Nian got a pot of hot water and squatted on the floor to clean her shoes. Absent-mindedly, the person in the back seat of the black Bentley floated into her mind.

A long time later, she drooped her eyelids and carried the water basin to the balcony to dry the shoes.

After washing up, Shu Nian left her wet hair draped around her as she practiced her pronunciation in the living room whilst facing the TV. Noting that it was almost midnight she turned off the TV.

Shu Nian turned on the light in the bedroom and left the door wide opened. After, she went back to the living room to turn off the light. Once it was switched off, she was immersed in total darkness. She hurried back to the bedroom and locked the door using those three locks.

Turning on the air conditioner, Shu Nian climbed into bed not feeling sleepy at all.

She hid under the covers and stared up at the ceiling in a daze. After a few seconds, Shu Nian suddenly picked up her phone on the bedside table and flipped through the few contacts in her contact list.

Shu Nian’s gaze stopped at the three words “Xie Ruhe”. Her fingers paused, there was no movement.

She wanted to know if that person today was Xie Ruhe.

If so, why did he ignore her; if not, why did he follow her?

She couldn’t understand it.

That was the number Xie Ruhe used five years ago before he went abroad. After that, she would basically just contact him through QQ.

So Shu Nian was not sure whether he was still using that number or not.

Shu Nian sighed and threw the phone aside. She rolled around in the quilt and closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep.

After a while, Shu Nian got up. The corners of her eyes drooped slightly making her look sad. She turned on the phone again and impulsively dialled the number.

She didn’t even consider that it could be too late at that time of day.

Toot, toot, toot——

During the waiting time.

Shu Nian suddenly recalled their first meeting. Her expression was empty and she lost herself in it without knowing. The sound of the machine was still ringing. The phone hung up automatically when no one answered after a long time.

Shu Nian let out a dull sigh. She gathered her thoughts and put the phone back on the nightstand.

Then, there was a light sound.

The phone turned on and suddenly began ringing.

Shu Nian paused. She looked down and was stunned.

He had phoned back…

The author has something to say: The male protagonist is only in a wheelchair for the first part of the novel. He will be able to stand later on. The copywriter should be able to see it!!

Long-distance reunion, the next chapter has emotional and real memories interspersed in the writing.
