âLu Yi, where is Nini?â Ye Shuyun was still carrying the cat. Thankfully she had the cat with her, or else she would have died of loneliness. What use was there having a son, who wasnât normally around and was nowhere as obedient as a cat?
âShe has gone back,â Lu Yi was still sitting on the sofa with the TV on. Yan Huanâs Journey to Fairyland was showing and she was still a carefree young girl back then. But oneâs life can go both ways.
âGone back?â Ye Shuyun quickly went over. âWhy did she go back, what happened? You asked her to leave?â
âNo,â Lu Yi turned around and answered his mother seriously.
âMum, Do you think I am such a person?â
âNo,â Ye Shuyun shook her head. Her son was highly educated and the Lu family had good manners. No matter what, at the very least they wouldnât disrespect their guests.
âThen what happened?â
âNothing happened?â Lu Yi picked up the cup and placed it to his lips as he continued staring at the TV.
âMum,â he suddenly said to Ye Shuyun.
âYes, what?â
Ye Shuyun was pretty bummed out, why did she leave like this? No, she must ask her personally. Her son was almost 27 years old and if he got married now, they girl would be pregnant next year and if she gave birth the year after, he would be almost 30. If he was late a few more years, when would she be able to carry her grandson?
Other peopleâs grandson were so old, but she didnât even have a daughter-in-law.
âMum, you donât have to matchmake for me in the future.â
Lu Yiâs gaze never left the TV. There was someone fine inside but it was a pity no one else knew about it.
âWhy?â Ye Shuyunâs eyes widen. âIf you donât look for any girls, do you want to look for a man? Lu Yi do you want to lose your leg?â She suddenly stood up as she felt something was wrong with this. Could it be that her son was really gay?
âNo,â Lu Yi was still calm as he stroked the edge of his cup with his bony finger.
âI have a girlfriend; I will bring her to you in a few days.â
âWhat?â Ye Shuyun quickly placed the cat in her arms down upon hearing that her son has a girlfriend. She went over and grabbed his neck.
âYou have a girlfriend? How old is she? What does she do? Is she pretty? When are you guys planning to get married, to have kids?â
Lu Yi pointed at the image on the TV.
Ye Shuyun looked up, it was her idol daughter.
âThatâs Yan Huan. Is my future daughter-in-law in this industry too?â
Lu Yi nodded.
âOkay, thatâs good,â Ye Shuyun grabbed her finger, âThis industry is good, she should be pretty. My future granddaughter will be a beautiful girl,â No, she believed it was unlikely for anyone from the Lu family to give birth to a girl. Everyone knew that this was the Lu familyâs curse for the past few generations.
But Ye Shuyun had never thought that Lu Yi was talking about Yan Huan. She didnât think to there either and her only thought was that it could be a young actress. Even though the Lu family looked down on those in the entertainment industry, so long as it wasnât someone too brazen, she could close one eye to that.
At this moment, Lu Yiâs phone rang.
He picked up his phone and walked to the balcony to answer it.
âQingyi, its me.â
A moment later, he walked out with a pale face straight to the exit.
âSon, where are you going?â
Ye Shuyun was planning to talk a little about her daughter-in-law but Lu Yi had already worn his shoes and was prepared to leave.
In any case, she wasnât in a rush. Ye Shuyun patted her chest. So long as her son liked her, whether she looked like a pig or not, Ye Shuyun would still help them get married. So long as she had a grandson early.
On the car, Lu Yi clicked the Bluetooth headset in his ear. âAre you serious, there is a distress signal from there?â
âYes,â Lei Qingyiâs fingers quickly clicked on the top of his computer. âIt is the one that you took from me, I have received it today and have checked it. It is indeed from where the show is filming. I have called Yi Ling and she has contacted the production company. They have no idea where they are but one thing that we can be sure of, that girl of yours must be in some huge trouble.â
âQingyi, help me prepare a helicopter,â Lu Yi took a turn and headed straight for Lei Qingyiâs place.
âYou are really going?â
Lei Qingyi wasnât too surprised by Lu Yiâs decision. Lu Yiâs character has been like this all along. If he didnât go to look for her himself, he wouldnât be Lu Yi. Even if he went there himself and realised it was a misunderstanding, he would be fine with it. He wanted to make sure that he saw for himself that she was safe.
âYes, I will be at your place soon,â Lu Yi stepped on the accelerator before pressing on his Bluetooth headset again. He took a few days off work at the attorney office before preparing to go look for his girl personally.
At this moment somewhere, Yan Huan took another candy and dissolved it in the cup. She used the bottle cap to feed Song Xihua again. He was still unconscious but his face wasnât as pale as before. He was able to drink water but still couldnât eat.
She poured some water into the bottle cap and placed it at her lips to drink. She wanted to soothe her throat. When she woke up the next morning, she could gather the dew over here. She had no idea how much she could gather but she kept most of the water for Song Xihua. As for herself, she tried not to drink if she could.
But she could feel herself seriously dehydrated and was constantly thirsty. Her lips were cracking but she still didnât dare to drink too much water. She was afraid that she wouldnât be able to wait for someone to rescue them before the water is gone.
The sky turned dark again as she pressed the emergency lamp. There was some light in the lamp and thankfully these lamps werenât battery-powered by were solar-powered. It was still usable at night from the energy it got during the day. However as she pressed, it didnât light up.
She didnât give up as she pressed again. It still didnât light up.
Damn it, she sighed as she threw the lamp aside. She had no idea how she was going to get past a night without light.
Without light, she felt her entire being slipping into the darkness. She was afraid of the dark.
She scrunched her body up and started shivering uncontrollably. She was afraid and in fear.
Donât be afraid, donât be afraid. She told herself there was nothing to be afraid of. This wasnât her previous life and no one was going to kill her. No one was going to kill her and no one was going to harm her. She was going to live well, always.
The heavens had let her reborn again not for her to die like this.
She tightly wrapped her arms around her body as cold sweat appeared at the top of her forehead.
Black, endless black. Darkness, intense darkness.
