Chapter 32.1

It was already 4 am . The sky was still cloudy from the rain . My hands shook as I frantically dialed Yin Xuan’s number . But her phone was off . I left a voicemail, but the unfamiliar, strange tone of the machine left me uneasy .

In the end, I grabbed my keys, and wearing only my pajamas, rushed out the door .

Outside, the cold, damp atmosphere chilled my hands . Yet, I almost couldn’t feel it . I just didn’t want to be by myself . It felt like a foreign soul was residing in my body, and it wanted to get rid of me .

I ran on in the empty streets . In my heart, I could only think of how frightening my past self was . I felt angry, remorseful, and at a loss . I didn’t understand myself, and nor did anyone else . No one knew what I was like .

The wind whistled past my ears . I wanted to run faster, so I could arrive sooner at that familiar door .

Almost without thinking, I sprinted to Yin Li’s house . I didn’t know where I had lost my slippers along the way . I stood outside, yelling his name . My voice was rough and filled with sorrow . The light in Yin Li’s bedroom on the third floor finally lit up .

“Yan Xiao?!” When Yin Li made his way downstairs, he finally saw my tear-streaked face . He looked panicked . Seeing the wounds on my feet, he didn’t say a word . He simply picked me up and brought me inside .

A blanket was wrapped around me, and a soft towel covered my head . Yin Li gently wiped off the dew on my hair . Then he shoved a cup of hot tea in my hands and looked searchingly into my eyes .

“What’s wrong?” He wrapped his two hands around my hands, which were holding the tea .

Staring into the teacup, I noticed the surface was smooth, with no ripples . I was no longer shaking . I was sitting on the sofa, and Yin Li was crouched at my feet . If I just looked down, I would be able to see his gentle face . Finally, I calmed down and forced myself to clearly tell Yin Li all that had happened .

“So, Xuan Xuan wants to come clean to everything this afternoon at the press conference? No wonder she’s so well behaved these days . So it was to trick me . ”

I thought Yin Li would become angry . However, he was surprisingly calm .
