No... No!She wanted her mother, she wanted her brother!She cried desperately only to find that she could not make a sound.Just then, a bell rang as if to pull her out of the nightmare...Ling Yiran slowly opened her eyes. She heard a graceful voice in her ear. "You're awake?"A pretty face bumped into her somewhat faraway eyes, and the bright eyes seemed to hold an indescribable gentleness within them."Yes..." she replied dully, not yet back to her senses.It was as if her dreams and grasp on reality were constantly interlacing. It was overwhelming her."You answer the phone then," he said, holding the phone to her ear.Ling Yiran froze as she listened to a familiar voice coming from her cell phone. "Yiran? Are you awake, Yiran?"Ling Yiran suddenly sobered a little. "Lianyi!""Yes, where are you now? Are you with Yi Jinli? I called you last night, and he answered the phone. When I called you again just now, he answered the phone too."Qin Lianyi was speechless. Who wou
The photo album contained her most precious memories.Yi Jinli frowned unknowingly. "Are you giving up your life for a photo album? You were lucky yesterday. You only have some bruises on your fingers. What if you really burned yourself?""This album means a lot to me!" Ling Yiran said."Can it be more important than your hands? Are you going to lose your hands just to protect a photo album?" His voice deepened."It's very important. Even if both my hands will get burned, I'll still want to keep it with me." Ling Yiran took a deep breath. To her, it was a remembrance and obsession in her heart.It was the best family affection she had ever felt and the happiest she ever been.Her answer turned him pale, and he felt a rush of anger in his chest after seeing that she did not value herself. He cared more about her body than she did.He cared enough not to see her hurt even the slightest."Where's my photo album?" she still asked him the question eagerly.Yi Jinli exhaled, stood u
"No one can fire you," Yi Jinli said with great certainty. "Just take care of your fingers first. Do you think you can lift things and sweep the floor with the state your hands are in right now?”Ling Yiran kept her head down and was silent. She really could not do anything with her hands."Take good care of your hands first. You can do anything you want once your hands have healed," Yi Jinli said. Then, as if thinking of something, he said, "Are you going to meet Qin Lianyi tonight? Why don't you take a rain check until the injuries on your hands get better."A person familiar with Yi Jinli would probably be surprised to hear that.When had the most elusive man in Shen City ever worry so much about a woman's injuries?If it was someone else covered in blood standing in front of him with only one last breath left, they would not cause him the slightest concern."I must go," Ling Yiran answered with great certainty. "It seems that Lianyi has news of the witness in my case. I'm goi
She looked so tiny in the photo. Her chubby cheeks and thick black hair looked so cute.Yi Jinli never knew he would look at a child and be mesmerized, but at the moment, he felt genuine love while looking at the little person in the photo. He even thought that if this little person appeared in the present in front of him right now, he might be tempted to hug and kiss her.Was it because this was her as a child? Was that why he found her cute? He had never gotten this feeling when he looked at other kids.Yi Jinli took out one photo after another.The photos, which began with photos of Ling Yiran and her mother, then turned into her alone.In the photos, she looked older than the photos of her with her mother. She looked about five to six years old here.There were not many of these photos, at least not as many as there were of her with her mother."When my mother was alive, she liked to take photos with me, but after she died, I took fewer photos," Ling Yiran said wistfully whi
"Sick? You were sick?" There was a sudden tension in his voice."Only a fever which lasted a few days. It made me a little drowsy, but I was alive and kicking when I recovered. Unfortunately, the dress was gone," she said with some regret. However, later, her grandmother secretly told her that she would buy her a beautiful dress if she was ranked first in her class in the final exam.However, when she finally got first place, she had to leave her grandmother to go back to her father.Before she left, her grandmother slipped a new dress into her luggage.Just as she was thinking, a huge hand suddenly came up and touched her forehead. Ling Yiran was stunned and looked up at Yi Jinli. "I... I don't have a fever now.""I know," he whispered. "I'll buy you any dress you want in the future."His words gave her a sudden shudder. "It's not like I'm a kid who keeps thinking about dresses." She bit her lip a little and quickly lowered her eyes.The longer she looked at him, the more it se
However, the problem was that people like him had seen a lot of cute people. Was the photo of her when she was little so cute that he had to keep one for himself?At the moment, however, meeting Qin Lianyi was the most important thing to her.When she was about to leave, Yi Jinli asked the driver to take her there.She knew from experience that it was useless to refuse. Once he had made up his mind, there was little room for negotiation.Once she got into the car, Ling Yiran told the driver where to go.As a result, she arrived half an hour earlier for what was supposed to be an hour-long trip.Ling Yiran walked into a fast food restaurant. She took a seat, ordered a drink that cost six dollars, and sent Qin Lianyi a message.While she was waiting for her best friend, she casually looked through the transparent French window and watched several food delivery riders running in and out of the restaurant from time to time with their food delivery orders.Food deliveries... Ling Yi
"Does your hand hurt?" Qin Lianyi asked with concern."It's fine," Ling Yiran said. "The bandages make it look worse. I didn't feel any pain today and was able to carry things myself."Qin Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered a meal.As they ate and talked, Ling Yiran found out what was going on with the witness her best friend mentioned on the phone. A colleague at Lianyi's design studio had posted a video to their co-workers' group chat. From there, Lianyi saw the witness who testified back then.The man was the newly married husband of Lianyi's colleague's relative's daughter, and he now lived in S City.Qin Lianyi asked his name casually, just in case, but the colleague did not know his name. The colleague only kne that his last name was You.There were not many people with the last name ‘You’. Qin Lianyi played the video for Ling Yiran.It was a video of the newlyweds being teased. The video was full of joy and laughter. Ling Yiran's eyes were fixed on the groom i
It was a good-looking man somewhere between a teenager and a young man. He had an androgynous face. It fit well with the feminine beauty that was now in fashion.His delicate features seemed to have come out of a painting, except that the man's thin lips were tightly pressed at the moment, and his extremely beautiful black eyes seemed to be tinged with anger.'Is this man... angry?' Ling Yiran thought. Judging from the direction of his gaze, he seemed to be annoyed by..."Yiran, I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?" Qin Lianyi's voice rang in her ears, and Ling Yiran came to her senses immediately."What were you telling me?" Ling Yiran turned her head to look at her best friend."I said, did the doctor say when your hand might be healed?" Qin Lianyi said."About a week, then I just have to wait for the skin to heal," Ling Yiran said. She then glanced in the direction of the strange man, but both the car and the man were gone."What are you looking at?" Qin Lianyi followed her be
