On the street, the wind and rain violently beat against He Tianran's body. The huge city was deserted, and the green plants on both sides of the road were destroyed to the point of shaking. He Tianran could hardly open his eyes, and he was so anxious inside.
This place is still far away from the harbor area. The probability of getting a taxi in this environment is very slim. From where he is now, it would take two hours to reach the Pearl of the Mountains and Seas just by walking, so he can only head towards He started running desperately in the general direction.
The suit on his body became extremely heavy because it was soaked by the rain. He Tianran simply loosened his tie, and the expensive new clothes were thrown on the roadside like a pile of clothes.
He called Wen Liang's phone repeatedly, but every time he got the result, it was a desperate blind tone.
"It's like this again, it's like this again...
Every time you leave, I can't find any way to contact you, as if you only exist in my memory...
It’s not easy to meet again this time. I still have a lot to say to you and a lot of things I want to do with you. Please wait for me for a while, wait for me for a while..."
He Tianran's legs were running tirelessly. He had never felt that time was so precious. It seemed that if he wasted a second, he would be separated forever.
He was mumbling like crazy. He knew the meaning of what the extremely decadent He Tianran said to him. He knew that after saving Wen Liang, his life would return to the original starting point.
But so what?
He couldn't weigh the pros and cons in the emotional world as thoughtfully as an adult. He only knew that when a short-haired girl suddenly broke into his life one day, his originally gloomy world began to change. brilliance.
That kind of brilliance, no matter which world it is in, is so dazzling.
He had never experienced any bullshit pranks. He only knew that the last day of September was the happiest day in his life.
The boy had been running for an unknown amount of time in the pouring rain. At the corner of an intersection, a black and white figure suddenly broke into He Tianran's field of vision. Then there was only a violent sound of tires scraping the ground, and a taxi was dragged out on the ground. After a conspicuous water trail several meters long, it finally stopped half a meter away from the boy's side.
"Boy, you're going to die! Can you run on the road during a typhoon and rush to reincarnate so as not to harm anyone?"
The window was rolled down, and a middle-aged, wealthy driver, regardless of the risk of getting caught in the rain, stretched out his head, wiped his cheeks that were instantly wet, and cursed.
Seeing that he finally had hope, He Tianran opened the car door and got in instantly, regardless of the driver's reaction.
"Master! Quick! In the harbor area, walk along the coastal road along the coastline!"
"Hey, get the hell out of here! Walking along the coastal road during such a typhoon? Who will risk their lives to play with you?"
The driver was yelling angrily while pushing the co-pilot, a desperate boy, out of the car. He almost kicked him, but the boy's ass seemed to have a root stuck in it. No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't move at all. Instead, he grabbed his hand. With a look of anxiety and pleading on his face, he said:
"Master, please, there was a car accident on Binhai Road, I rushed to save people!"
When the driver heard this and saw his anxious and pleading look, he became even more angry: "Let me go, kid!"
"Master, really, I beg you..."
"If you don't let go of me, how can I drive! I'm going to screw you!"
He Tianran quickly let go of his hand and thanked him profusely. Although the middle-aged driver was cursing, he still pointed the direction with his hand and stepped on the accelerator. The taxi started again in the heavy rain.
"The coastal road is so long, which direction are you talking about? We can't run along the coastline, right?" the driver asked angrily.
"That's the direction to the Pearl of Mountains and Seas!"
"Tai, if you say it, you haven't said it yet."
The driver observed the situation in the heavy rain along the way. He Tianran was anxious, but he also understood that he could not rush in this environment. He kept looking left and right, fearing that he would miss the rescue site and that disaster would appear in front of him in the next second. .
The driver glanced at him, observed his emotions, opened the taxi chat group in the car, and asked:
"Are any of you running along Haibin Road?"
When He Tianran heard this, he turned his head. He calmed down, looked gratefully at the vicious-mouthed and soft-hearted driver master in front of him, and then concentrated on waiting for news from the group.
The driver group was silent for a few seconds, and then two or three messages popped up.
"Ouch, the wind is so strong over there, the waves are several feet high, you are desperate, where are you going to run?"
"I just came back from there. I heard that a Rover drove a car and fell into the sea. It's over at Tai Wan Kok. I don't know if the rescue team has arrived yet, but in this weather, even if it's dispatched, it will take a lot of effort. I think It’s hanging.”
"Here we are, still fishing for people. I heard it was a girl who drove her car through the guardrail and went into the sea. But at this point, even if she is fished out, she will probably be dead."
The group immediately exploded with these messages. Some people said that the person involved in the car accident seemed to be a celebrity. He remembered the Land Rover. Others said that in a car accident under such circumstances, it would be almost impossible to survive. Possible things.
…
The driver master calmly exited the group chat and drove silently without speaking.
The Maitreya Buddha hanging in the middle of the car reflects the wind and rain in front of the car. He is dangling in front of He Tianran, smiling happily.
He Tianran looked out the window at the increasingly clear black and white coastline with lost eyes, feeling dead in his heart.
After Mo Yue drove for another half an hour, the taxi finally arrived at Tai Wan Kok, where the incident occurred, and the time now had already exceeded the time of distress that the other person said.
Ahead, the rescue team's vehicles have gathered here, and workers are constantly carrying out rescue work in the rain.
The taxi parked safely beside the guardrail where a huge gap had been opened.
The young man sat motionless in his seat, as if he had lost all life. The wiper in front of the window was sweeping back and forth tirelessly, but no matter how clear the window was wiped, He Tianran's eyes were always blurry.
When the driver saw the boy who was already in tears but still unconscious, he hesitated for a long time and finally said two words:
"Condolences..."
In the current situation, even a white lie was impossible to tell in this situation.
He Tianran turned his head foolishly after hearing this. He looked at the driver for a while, then at the sea, and finally at the Maitreya Buddha. He acted like a dying old man slowly opening the car door and stepping into the rain again.
The wind was still roaring in his ears, and the rain as big as beans beat mercilessly on every inch of the boy's skin. He was wearing a thin white shirt. In this world, he could no longer feel the so-called warmth. With the cold, he just walked along the seawall towards the sea step by step.
Tai Wan Kok is nearly 100 meters above the coastline. On the rugged rocks on the shore, you can occasionally see some car parts swallowed up by the waves.
The rescue team's salvage work had ended, and the speedboat slowly docked. When He Tianran arrived at the shore, they were preparing to place the body.
All the staff present noticed the boy who broke into the rescue scene without permission, but no one stopped him for a while.
Several teammates pushing the stretcher looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, an older team member stopped He Tianran and asked:
"Young man, are you a family member of the deceased?"
He Tianran seemed not to hear, and he moved forward numbly. At this time, all he could see was the body lying quietly on the stretcher, covered with white cloth.
When several team members nearby saw this, they rushed forward one after another. Together, they were dragged by the young man for a few steps before he staggered to a halt.
The old team member from before came forward and said tactfully: "Young man, you... the deceased had suffered many fractures and twists when she fell. Her expression was very painful after the car fell into the sea. You still... saw her when she was buried. She..."
He Tianran turned his head and glanced at him, then looked straight ahead as if out of focus. His mouth was slightly open, his lower lip was trembling, and his throat seemed to be squeezed, unable to speak complete words.
His mind suddenly went dark, his ears were buzzing, and he wanted to scream, but he couldn't utter a single word.
At this time, a fierce sea breeze blew by, and the white cloth covering the body was blown into the sky, like a gull flying to the boundless sea, taking away all the hope of the young man.
"ah……"
In the young man's throat, he finally cried out all his emotions sadly, and what followed was a burst of mournful crying mixed with the howling wind and rain. The people around him were infected by his sadness and turned their heads, unable to bear to look directly at him. This sad scene of separation between life and death.
No one stopped him anymore. The strong wind and heavy rain seemed to have bent his waist. The young man hunched forward slowly, and every step seemed extremely heavy.
"natural……"
He Tianran's eyes were so full of tears that he could no longer see. There was a hallucination in his ears, and a warm voice seemed to be calling his name. This feeling was ethereal, as if he was very far away, but also like Be around.
Is her soul complaining about me?
Or is she trying to comfort me?
Ah Liang, wait for me for a while, I'll be here soon...
Just when He Tianran was having thoughts in his mind, his progress suddenly stopped because he felt someone behind him gently hugging him.
"natural……"
His name rang again, and it was still the familiar voice. He Tianran froze in place as if struck by lightning. The touch on his back made him feel extremely real, but he did not dare to turn his head, fearing that everything was his illusion. .
"Of course, that's not me. I'm not dead. Can you look back at me?"
The words of the man holding him behind him were full of worry. He Tianran turned his head inch by inch, only to see the man loosen his arms and take two steps back.
In He Tianran's field of vision, he saw Wen Liang standing calmly in the rain, with rainwater all over her face and body. Her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead and temples, with a look of distress and confusion on her face.
He Tianran wiped his eyes repeatedly, and his already silent heart was instantly rekindled. Joy and excitement filled his chest. He took a step forward, and before Wen Liang could react, he hugged the other person tightly into his arms.
"It's great... it's great... it's not you... you don't have to suffer anymore... you don't have to do it all over again... you will definitely live forever... your life is finally free... it's great... …”
He Tianran didn't know whether to cry or laugh, Wen Liang was held in his arms, her heart was pounding, and she was listening to the boy's nonsense. She didn't know where to put her hands, but in the end, she still hugged him He Tianran's back, while comforting, said softly:
"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, seeing you so nervous makes me... What you said must be for my own good, right?"
He Tianran slowly let go of Wen Liang. He once again took a serious look at the pretty face close at hand. After confirming that it was intact, he hugged her again.
Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, and then she heard the young man whispering in a crying voice, as if he was angry:
"The other me said... today you... you will have a car accident..."
Wen Liang couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. She patted He Tianran on the back:
"What do you believe in what he says?"
"That's not the case...he..."
Halfway through his words, He Tianran couldn't continue, not because he didn't want Wen Liang to know the content of his words, but because he suddenly thought that since Wen Liang was not dead, then who was the person lying behind them...?
He Tianran let go of Wen Liang, turned around, and looked back.
Instantly, he broke into a cold sweat.
He really knew the female body lying on the stretcher...
