"What’s wrong? Is there something?"
After the sound of her gentle voice came out, the speaking voice also drifted in, but that voice was particularly hoarse, also especially weak. He could feel a sense of exhaustion from it, even standing at the door.
When he recalled it, the words of the plump aunt suddenly came to mind, and the hands in the pockets of his trench coat tightened abruptly, leading him to enter through the door.
At this moment, inside the room, the voice of the plump aunt also sounded: "It’s nothing, just someone come to see you."
"Someone come to see me? Who? Didn’t I say, no matter who comes looking for me, don’t tell them I’m here? You..."
The unfinished words were suddenly interrupted by a voice, and that voice was cool, familiar, and carried a chilling coldness that seemed to seep into one’s bones.
The girl just getting off the bed was stunned, standing there, she blinked, and it was like there was a sudden thunderstorm in her mind, for a moment, striking her silent as she fixated on the man who suddenly appeared at the door.
This was a man she was very familiar with!
Also a man who, for these past two days and nights, she had been thinking of tirelessly and yearning for.
In the cold weather, he wasn’t dressed warmly, wearing a thin black trench coat, beneath which was a light gray knitted crew-neck sweater. His posture was upright, and his tall figure stood under the lamp light, layered with shadows, his entire tall and straight body suddenly appearing in front of her like a mountain, just like the dream she had a moment ago.
How could this be possible?
How could he come here? Didn’t he still not know she was better?
She stared at him blankly, her entire mind frozen, as if all thought and logic had ceased to function, except those eyes still fixed on him, knowing nothing, remembering nothing.
Similarly, Ou Mucen was also staring at her unblinkingly!
Two days and nights, he thought something had happened to her, he imagined she had truly been kidnapped by that old man, he was desperate, frantically searching for her night and day, almost driving himself into madness.
Yet, the truth was, she had hidden herself away, retreated to a place no one would think of, avoiding contact with him, providing no word.
By doing so, her heart, really doesn’t hurt? Watching him search for her like a madman, doesn’t she feel even a bit of sadness?
Ou Mucen, after a moment of utter joy, stood there, sinking into a fury even fiercer than that brief joy; like a sudden flood released from an open gate, at this moment, this man who searched for her through two full days and nights, finally erupted!
"Still alive? I thought you were dead!"
Ye Ning, still immersed in the immense joy of seeing him, was taken aback by these words.
He’s asking if she was dead? How could he...?
"Isn’t it? Suddenly disappearing from home, without any communication, leaving no word for the family, how is that different from being dead?" Ou Mucen was truly furious to the extreme, speaking as harshly as possible.
It’s not his fault; only heaven knows what he went through these past two days?
He thought she was in trouble, so every time he couldn’t bear it and closed his eyes, all he saw in his mind was her bloody figure, that feeling really almost drove him to collapse.
