One time, when they were playing hide and seek, Xiao Chen hid behind a metal barrel in the factory. He waited for a long time but didn't see anyone coming to find him. When he decided to come out, he found that the factory gate was closed. At that time, he was still young and didn't have much strength, so he couldn't escape. Xiao Chen still remembers how he sat behind the metal barrel, curled up in a ball.
At that time, darkness took root in his heart. It wasn't until he was rescued that he heard the old door was stuck and couldn't be opened, but unfortunately, he had the bad luck of encountering a child who casually closed the door. After sharing his past, Xiao Chen smiled helplessly.
Actually, so much time has passed, and he has also experienced a lot. The past shadows should not have been left in his heart. But some things cannot be resolved by personal will alone. Lin Muyan listened in silence, watching him sigh and laugh self-deprecatingly, then suddenly turned his right palm upward.
"Let me see your ID card."
Xiao Chen was still immersed in his own past. He was stunned by her irrelevant words, although he didn't understand what she meant, he obediently did as he was told.
On the ID card, the man's photo looked a bit more steady than he does now, with a bit more clarity in his eyes.
That was taken two years ago.
Lin Muyan carefully checked his ID card number, then looked at Xiao Chen in astonishment, checked again, and made sure she didn't read it wrong before handing the ID card back to him.
Just now, when she heard his story, she actually had a moment of doubt.
After all, seeing Xiao Chen like this now, it's really hard to imagine him as a pitiful child hiding in the corner crying miserably.
That's why I asked him to show me his ID, to see what he was like before.
"I've told you all my secrets. I've never told anyone else about this."
"So do you want to give me the Seal fee?" Xiao Chen originally intended to increase Lin Muyan's favor towards himself. After all, he admitted to such an embarrassing matter, showing his sincere desire to reconcile. However, Lin Muyan's words made it difficult for him to respond. He looked at Lin Muyan with a headache, feeling that she was doing it on purpose.
"Seal fee." Lin Muyan shrugged again.
After seeing that Xiao Chen was one year younger than herself on the ID card, her mood improved.
She now feels a sense of accomplishment, thinking to herself that the person in front of her, no matter how tall, is still just a little brat.
She's the big sister!
"How much do you want?" Xiao Chen took out his wallet. "I'll give you everything, even myself."
He forcefully put the wallet into Lin Muyan's hand, then took her other hand and blinked cutely.
Lin Muyan shook off his hand with a smile.
"You think you can buy me with just this little money? Designer Xiao, you underestimate your own worth too much."
"Never mind, I don't like to make things difficult for others. Just call me sister." This time she squinted mischievously.
"You wanted to be friends with me, right? I'll compromise a bit. You can call me sister, and I'll agree to it."
Xiao Chen frowned, "But I don't want you to be my sister, I want you to be my... friend."
"Don't push it."
"I only promised to be friends with you, the rest depends on your performance."
Once again, Lin Muyan swatted away Xiao Chen's hand, her smile unchanged.
"Quick, call me sister, otherwise being friends is out of the question."
She waited for a full minute before hearing Xiao Chen's voice, sounding like a faint mosquito, with two stifled words.
"Sister..."
"Ah, now you're being good." Lin Muyan patted his head satisfactorily, as if soothing an agitated big dog.
She leaned in a little closer, her breath spraying on Xiao Chen's ear, a faint smile in her light-colored eyes. Her pleasant fragrance wrapped around his breath, as if trapping him in her own world.
Xiao Chen's throat rolled, unable to help but lean forward a bit.
The soft lips were just a centimeter away from Lin Muyan's cheek.
The atmosphere was suddenly pushed into an ambiguous and pink color, and Lin Muyan even showed a moment of confusion and infatuation, indulging Xiao Chen's move. Just as the two were about to meet, the phone placed on Lin Muyan's leg suddenly vibrated, pulling her back in a hurry. The ringtone continued, sounding anxious.
Lin Muyan Frantically trying to compose herself, the voice on the other end of the phone still carried a slight tremble that couldn't be completely suppressed.
"Er Bao, what's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late?" She didn't realize how obvious her dissatisfaction was in her words, but then her voice became tense.
"Where are you? Don't cry, tell me where you are first. Don't worry, I'll come over as soon as possible. Let me navigate there. Also, send me your location. It's raining heavily outside, find a place to take shelter from the rain. I'll be there soon. Be safe."
Lin Muyan, who was about to hang up the phone and leave, was stopped by Xiao Chen.
"Where are you going so late?" he asked, looking at Lin Muyan's nightgown. It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold like this.
"Er Bao is stuck on the mountain." Lin Muyan also realized that she was not dressed properly at the moment, but the thought of Liu Er Bao shivering from the cold made her very angry. "It's all because of your good brother." She glared at Xiao Chen in annoyance, then quickly took off her coat and went into the bathroom.
Xiao Chen still hadn't figured out the connection with Wen Zimo, but he saw Lin Muyan hopping to put on her socks, then stumbling to the door to put on her shoes. Seeing her impatient appearance, Xiao Chen sighed and followed her. "I'll walk you there."
Lin Muyan Ignore him.
"Mumu, don't be childish. I'll take you there. It's late, and I'm worried if you go to the mountain alone. Besides, you said it was Wen Zimo who did a good deed. You can't unjustly blame me. You just promised to start as friends with me."
Xiao Chen innocently let her look at him, but secretly cursed Wen Zimo for harming himself.
"Okay, it's not a good time to catch a taxi now."
Lin Muyan calmed down and nodded.
Outside the window, the rain was pouring down, splashing half a meter high water splashes on the ground. Xiao Chen skillfully controlled the throttle, driving safely and quickly, while occasionally observing the anxious Lin Muyan, afraid that she might suddenly change her mind and want to get out of the car.
"Er Bao is still waiting for me. I won't do anything to make you worry."
Lin Muyan gave him a helpless shake of her head.
Sometimes she can be impulsive, but not foolish.
"Oh, what did Wen Zimo do to make you so angry?" Seeing her not as excited as before, Xiao Chen also asked for the reason. Although Wen Zimo is smooth-talking, he is not a bad person, and he has always had a good attitude towards women. How could he have upset Mumu?
Lin Muyan listened to Wen Zimo and suddenly took a deep breath, her chest heaving heavily. But in the end, she didn't vent her anger on Xiao Chen, just made a sound of disdain.
"He's really good at playing people. He invited someone to go camping in the mountainous area, but when they got there, he just left Er Bao there and walked away himself!"
"Er Bao is a girl. Even if he didn't want to date Er Bao, couldn't he just refuse directly? What does it mean to leave someone in the mountains? Does he get a sense of accomplishment from playing with people like this?"
When it came to the end, Xiao Chen suddenly felt like he was being glared at.
"Wen Zimo is not a good person."
He hurriedly chimed in, and then felt the gaze staring at him weaken.
"He's not a man, doing such unethical things."
Lin Muyan snorted and turned to look out the window.
Xiao Chen wiped away some non-existent cold sweat quietly.
His gaze lowered slightly. He has known Wen Zimo since childhood. He has always been a gentleman towards girls. Leaving Liu Er Bao alone on the mountain doesn't seem like his style. Did something go wrong in the middle? Thinking this, he decided to give Wen Zimo a call when he arrived to find out what exactly was going on.
The rain is getting heavier, and the windshield wiper only splashes a layer of mist on the car window, severely obstructing the view. Even Xiao Chen can't maintain the previous speed and slowly applies the brakes. "Let's pull over and wait for a while."
Lin Muyan Even in a hurry, it's clear that driving now doubles the danger. She suppressed her anxiety and made a suggestion.
Xiao Chen I've wanted to say it for a while, but seeing her anxious, I could only swallow my words. When I finally heard her speak, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let's pull over at the convenience store up ahead and wait for the rain to ease up a bit before we continue."
Lin Muyan nodded, sent a text message to Liu Er Bao telling her not to worry, then watched as the car pulled over to the side of the road. A nearby car sped by, splashing water onto the car window before it fell back to the ground. She had rushed out and thrown on a T-shirt, feeling a bit cold now.
At the end of summer, turning on the warm air was obviously not realistic. She stopped Xiao Chen from taking action, shrunk her neck, and pressed her back tightly against the seat, trying to find some warmth.
"Wait for me."
Xiao Chen glanced at her, opened the car door, and ran out of the car.
The person was instantly covered by a heavy drizzle. A few minutes later, he ran back from the drizzle, holding a tightly wrapped plastic bag. He was soaked through by the recent heavy rain.
"I know you're not hungry today, but eating something hot will make you feel warmer."
He had just gotten off the car to buy her a sausage from the convenience store.
There was also a dark-colored shirt in the plastic bag, because it was too late and there was only men's clothing available.
The driver's seat was soaked with rainwater, and Xiao Chen couldn't help but shiver. Suddenly, a half piece of sausage was handed to him, slightly charred on the outside, and the compacted meat emitted a processed fragrance. "I only need half, you can have the rest, it's so cold."
Lin Muyan She stuffed the sausage into his mouth, and when she saw that he had a good grip on it, she took out a tissue and wiped her oily fingers, feeling a slight warmth on her fingertips. Ten minutes later, the two of them were back on the road. After being washed by the heavy rain, the road was so clean that there were only a few sporadic vehicles.
The drizzling rain tapped on the car window, finally not as frightening as before. Xiao Chen stepped on the throttle and drove towards the designated campsite. "Don't worry, your friend should be fine. I'm not sure what happened between Wen Zimo and her, but the Wen Zimo I know is not that kind of person. She should be safe."
Lin Muyan pursed her lips and remained silent, only casting a sidelong glance at Xiao Chen, then shifting her gaze down to her own legs. The wooden sign of the Longning Mountain campsite had been dampened by the rain, appearing dull and dim. If it weren't for Xiao Chen's bright car headlights, it would have been easy to miss. As they officially entered the mountainous area along the mountain road, Lin Muyan watched the distance on her phone display getting closer and closer, finally feeling the tension in her heart slowly dissipate.
She was still messaging Liu Er Bao while holding her phone, afraid that Er Bao would be too scared by herself. She was even prepared for a video call, but just as she sent out the last word, there was a loud, screeching sound. The car suddenly surged forward two or three meters with a bang, then fell silent.
Lin Muyan was thrown so hard that her head hit the car's ceiling, but luckily the seatbelt stopped her, otherwise she might have been thrown out of the car.
"Hiss..."
Holding her aching head, Lin Muyan furrowed her brow. In the driver's seat, Xiao Chen didn't look much better, but he first made sure Lin Muyan was safe. Seeing that she only had a headache from the impact and no other issues, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll get out and take a look. You stay in the car and don't get out."
Open the seat belt, Xiao Chen walked around the outside of the car, raindrops pattering on him, but he paid no attention. After opening the front hood and inspecting it carefully, he walked back and reluctantly broke the bad news to Lin Muyan. The car broke down.
The good news is that they have just entered a mountainous area, so the rescue will not be too difficult. The bad news is that the car can't move and they must first move it to the side of the road to wait for rescue. With the car door half open, Xiao Chen blinked away the water droplets hanging from his eyelashes. "Mumu, I'll push the car. You sit on this side and help me adjust the direction of the car's front." He was a certain distance from the car door, deliberately maintaining this somewhat uncomfortable position to prevent too much water from entering the car.
"Don't get out of the car, just move over here in the car. You're not dressed warmly, getting rained on could easily lead to a cold."
Lin Muyan made an acknowledging sound, and waited for him to close the car door before awkwardly moving from the passenger seat to the driver's seat.
She was considered tall among girls, so the act of bending her body was somewhat inconvenient. After struggling to sit in the driver's seat, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then saw Xiao Chen looking at her in the rearview mirror with his hands on his hips, then he shrugged and was about to push the car.
The rain has wet the road, making it slippery everywhere, which adds to the difficulty of pushing the cart for Xiao Chen. He exerted force with his hind legs, pushed with his arms, and his attractive muscles were revealed through the wet and shiny clothes. The rain slid down from his forehead, outlining his silhouette, and he fell contentedly into a puddle on the ground.
Lin Muyan stared at the man in the rearview mirror, and it cannot be denied that Xiao Chen was pleasing to her aesthetic sensibilities, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and slightly pouty, full lips, and he was also a tall guy at 1.9 meters. When not smiling, he exuded a calm male hormone, but when he smiled, he was full of youthful charm. She couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then she heard Xiao Chen shouting from the slightly open window.
"Step on the throttle!"
She held the steering wheel, withdrew her gaze, and placed her toes on the throttle, pressing it neither lightly nor heavily. Then, her expression suddenly changed as she switched to the brake.
Xiao Chen was pushing hard, and suddenly felt that the previously smooth car was difficult to push, as if it were stuck to the ground and not moving. He looked up blankly, just one glance, and the car was easy to push again.
Lin Muyan has been observing the man's reaction in the mirror.
She tightened her grip on the steering wheel, and when Xiao Chen bent down to push the car, she stepped on the brake again.
