C9 (1/2)

The wind by the river grew stronger and stronger. Jiang Yaner, who had been carried by Jin Chen, seemed to have found an outlet to her emotions.

”It's over, it's all over, it's all over.” she kept saying.

The willful Ni Xiaoxing, might really not come back this time.

Jin Chen looked at the river surface and the distant neon clouds. He thought to himself, the weak Jiang Yaner, the emotional Jiang Yaner, the timid Jiang Yaner, in the future, can he endure that much pain?

At this moment, the phone vibrated.

”Yan'er, I'm so scared. Why don't you come with me?” Trembling, she finished the text.

It's Ni Xiaoxing!

She immediately dialed the number, and the call was picked up after a short pause.

”Xiao Xing, Xiao Xing, where are you?” She asked nervously, afraid that if she wasn't careful, he would break the news again.

Jin Chen indicated for her to turn on the hands-free. Under the cold autumn wind, Jiang Yaner put the phone by her ear and clicked on the hands-free.

”Do you know? He didn't want me anymore, he's gone missing, ”she said, laughing and crying again, and a wave around her drowned out her voice.” I thought everyone was wrong, and in the end I was the only one who was wrong. She sneered, then buzzed again, and the line went dead.

”What do we do? What do we do? The phone's been cut off.” Jiang Yaner almost wanted to cry.

”There's the sound of water and the wind,” Jin Chen lowered his head and searched with all his might, ”It's not a bathroom, it's definitely outside.”

”There's the sound of waves, right? That can only be the seaside, can't it? ” Jiang Yaner seemed to finally have some clues, she anxiously ran and got on the carriage, Jin Chen called some people to search around the beach, and the two of them quickly arrived at the shore.

Along the coastline, dozens of people were running around, shouting out Ni Xiaoxing's name.

After a long time, there was no result.

”Jin Chen, could she have already …” She couldn't help but begin to guess, let his imagination run wild, so he held his head as he squatted by the sea, his mind filled with terrible images.

That was the end she could not bear.

”Over there!” Someone shouted. Looking in the direction he pointed, it was a figure that was about to disappear.

Jiang Yaner's eyes widened as she searched far away. Her lower body was already drowned in the waves, and a white figure could be vaguely seen, barely discernible in the waves.

”It's her! It's her!” She turned her head to look at Jin Chen, her eyes red.

Without waiting for Jin Chen to react, she ran towards the ocean without a care. He struggled to run forward in the water, but was stopped by the power behind her.

Three or five people jumped into the sea and tried to swim forward. At this moment, there was no longer any trace of the white figure in the sea.

”Ni Xiaoxing! Ni Xiaoxing! ” Jiang Yaner struggled in Jin Chen's embrace. She could not see Ni Xiaoxing's back anymore and she felt the aura of death.

Time seemed to have frozen. A long, long time.

”CEO, I couldn't find him.” The first to come ashore, his lips purple from the sea, brought no good news.

Immediately after, everyone went ashore and still did not bring Ni Xiaoxing back.

Jiang Yaner sat on the beach, her tears flowing, being blown dry by the sea breeze. She didn't know what to say, and only felt as if a part of her chest had been dug out.

”Yan'er.” Jin Chen's hands stiffened in midair, and he still gently hugged her in the end.
