Wen Qing was still dizzy from the sudden stop. She tried to see what was happening, but her head was spinning with images.

Slowly, her mind drifted to her trip to Maiden Peak. She had not brought proper protective gear, and she sustained snow blindness. Her vision had suffered.

‘Am I going blind again?’

Despair surged in like a tide.

Tears were streaming down her face, and landing on the back of her hand.

Wen Qing heard Shu Rui scream. Then, Shu Rui grabbed her wrist and held on tightly. Wen Qing did not understand why Shu Rui was holding her down. Shu Rui’s strong grip was hurting her arm. She tried to say something. “Let… Let go. Let me go.”

With great effort, she managed to break free, but Shu Rui grabbed her again. Shu Rui pinched Wen Qing’s wrist hard and shouted, “Wen Qing, I made a mistake!”

“Wen Qing, I was wrong. I made a huge mistake. Let’s move past this, okay?”

“Wen Qing!”

Shu Rui’s shrieks almost tore Wen Qing’s eardrums. Her wrist hurt. Shu Rui’s grip was too tight.

There was a lot of chaos going on around her. Wen Qing’s vision was getting worse. She had no strength to begin with, and now, she was completely exhausted. She was even more passive than before.

“Don’t be crazy.” Wen Qing’s arms were weak, so she used her fingers to pry off Shu Rui’s grip. “Let go… Let go.”

“It’s Shang Yinghan. Shang Yinghan is actually here.” Shu Rui’s trembling voice was filled with fear. “Wen Qing, you’re incredible. You really are.”

What did Shu Rui just say?

Did she mishear her?

It got noisier after that. Wen Qing could no longer tell who was talking to Shu Rui. Then, she felt someone prying Shu Rui’s hands off her wrist.

Then, Wen Qing was embraced by someone.

The cedar fragrance made Wen Qing’s racing heart calm down quickly. She reached out to grab the person in front of her. She was trying to identify who he was. But, he was clasping her wrist, and his face was pressed against her cheek. She heard his comforting voice. “It’s me,” he said.

Wen Qing shifted, trying to look up.

Then, she saw his face.

Even though she had heard his voice, Wen Qing still had a hard time believing it. In the midst of her kidnapping, here was Shang Yinghan.

So, she had not misheard. Shu Rui had really said Shang Yinghan’s name.

“Wen Qing.”

“Wen Qing.”

“It’s me,” he said.

He called her name twice. He caressed her face and cupped her chin, so that she could see him better.

Wen Qing’s vision cleared, and she could see him now. Shang Yinghan had really come to find her.

Before she had the chance to rest, her vision turned black, and she lost consciousness. She fainted in Shang Yinghan’s arms.

The moment Wen Qing fainted, she felt herself sigh. This was the first time in her life that the person she was most afraid of had come to save her.

Promising.

…

Wen Qing was scared out of her wits. Due to that, and the effects of the Chloroform, she stayed unconscious until noon the next day.

She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the white ceiling above her. After a few seconds, she sat up.

Shang Li, who was sitting on the sofa beside her, was surprised by her sudden movements. She put down her phone and quickly approached the bed.
