"Go back!" No need to send me off! " Rick's drunken voice broke the silence of the night.

"Rick, you're drunk, you can't drive. Why don't we stay here today? It's not too late to leave tomorrow! "

Someone kindly advised.

"I'm fine. I had a lot of alcohol, and that little bit just now didn't affect my driving at all. " Rick quickly waved his hand.

"Sigh. Even so, safety was the most important thing! It's your flight tomorrow afternoon anyways, so it's not that big of a deal to stay here today! "

"That's right!" Now the drunk driving is under strict investigation. If you get caught drinking a glass of beer, you will be detained for 15 days, which in turn will delay your flight tomorrow! "

"It's nothing, it's nothing. To tell you the truth, I knew I was going to be drinking today, so I called the driver. I think this time, he should be here soon! " Rick dealt with it calmly.

"Ah?" No wonder you drank so heartily just now. You must have already been prepared for it! " Someone teased him.

"Hur hur. "Is it because Rick has an appointment with a beauty that he's in such a hurry to go back?"

"You're right. This is my last night in China. If I don't go, someone will break up with me. Therefore, even if I have to crawl, I have to crawl back! " Rick laughed.

Just then, someone slammed the iron door and shouted, "Is there a Mr. Rick here?" I'm here to pick him up. "

Ah!" It's here! " Rick waved his hand.

A security guard quickly said, "I'll go open the door and let him in."

Without further hesitation, Rick shook hands with the other security guards, said goodbye, and waited for the man in the driver's seat to arrive. He tossed him the keys and then went around to the other side and sat in the back.

As the car rolled away, Rick waved goodbye to the guards through the glass.

Soon, the car left the main gate, turned a corner, and sped along the wide, flat asphalt road.

An hour later, the car stopped in the basement parking lot of the Grand Hyatt.

Rick paid the driver and waited for the man to leave before hurriedly opening the trunk. He reached out his hand to help support the wide-eyed Xia Xiaoxi. "We've escaped!"

Xia Xinxin was both emotional and sad. Tears welled up in her eyes as she held onto Rick and said softly, "Thank you."

Rick, too, was bitter. He said nothing, just patted her lightly on the back.

Tears ran down Xia Xinxin's face, one by one they landed on Rick's shoulders. Not long after, his clothes were all wet.

After a long time, Xia Xinxin's emotions gradually calmed down. She hastily pushed him away, wiping away her tears with her hands and said, "I'm sorry. I couldn't hold it in any longer and your clothes are all wet! "

"It doesn't matter." Rick gently shook his head, reached into the car to take out a bag of clothes, pointed to her hospital gown and said, "Your clothes are too conspicuous, quickly take them to the car to change!"

"Thank you." Feeling moved by his meticulous actions, Xia Xinxin hugged him again and hurriedly got into the car to pick up the clothes.

When he got into the car, he realized that he had already rolled up the tailgate, making the backside extremely private. The tight space made it easy for her to change her clothes.

She neatly changed her clothes and put on a black woolen hat that he had prepared especially for her. She knocked on the door frame and asked softly, "Where is this?"

"This is the underground parking lot of the Grand Hyatt," he said.

Xia Xinxin nodded and asked, "Do we need to temporarily stay here tonight?"

Rick shook his head. "No. Just in case, we can't stay here. We need to find another hotel and a place to fix up your hospital gown. We have to stifle in the cradle all the dangerous factors that make it possible for them to find you. "

"Yes." I will listen to you! " Xia Xinxin nodded.

Rick started the car and drove out of the underground parking lot. He pulled over to the side of the road near the outskirts of the city, took out her hospital gown and set it on the curb. He turned around and poured a small bottle of gasoline over the back of her clothes, then lit it with a lighter.

The fire immediately soared high, and his clothes began to blaze.

Staring at those red flames, Xia Xinxin felt as if she were in a dream. She couldn't believe that she was so lucky to be able to escape from that terrifying cage.

Hot tears gushed out of his eyes, soaking his cold face.

Beside her, Rick gently pulled her into his arms, gently comforting her, "It's all over, it's all over. No one can hurt you anymore! "

She raised her hand and used her sleeve to vigorously wipe away the tears on her face. No one can hurt me anymore! Because I won't give them another chance! Absolutely not! "

Rick looked at her determined face and nodded slightly. "I'll help you."

"I know. From the first time I saw you, I knew you would help me! " Xia Xinxin turned to look at him.

Under the red light of the fire, a soothing smile appeared on her face.

Very beautiful, very shocking. Rake was reminded of her when they had first met.

A quick glance.

After all their clothes were burnt to ashes, Rick and Xia Xinxin got on the car and drove back into the city, where they stayed at a hotel called the Heroes' Inn.

After entering, Xia Xinxin looked at the luxurious decorations, then walked to the window and looked out at the beautiful and bustling night scene. She couldn't help but shake her head and say, "Rick, this place is too luxurious, there's no need to do this. Tomorrow we'll just choose an ordinary one to live in. "

"Don't worry!" I live here for free. This is my uncle's hotel. Every time I come to China, I stay here. The rooms on this floor are reserved for our family members and are not provided for other guests, so this place is absolutely secret. At a time like this, it is absolutely safe to live here. " Rick smiled as he handed over a glass of red wine. I know you must be nervous tonight. "

She took the glass and drank it in one gulp. She licked her red lips and whispered, "Indeed. In my days in the mental hospital, I felt a despair I had never felt before. I only felt that my life was pitch black, that I could not see the end of it, that I could not see the end of it, that there was no hope. These days, I was terrified. Even when I went to participate in the Survivor's game and faced the loss of my life at any time, I had never been this afraid of such despair. "

"Because at that time, you had the goal of pursuing hard work, and with him by your side, it made you very confident. Actually, you know, no matter what, he will protect you well, so you won't be afraid. But in a mental hospital, you have no relatives, no help, and he can't even protect himself. He's in danger at all times, and without the protection of the gods, there's no way for you to be confident. " Rick sighed and looked at her very thoroughly.

"That's right!" At that time, I was full of confidence, thinking that with my own strength and wisdom, I could turn the situation around. However, I never thought that without him, without the help of my friends, I would be destined to fail! " Xia Xinxin sighed with emotion, "It was lucky you showed up in the end, did you understand?" You are the lamp that suddenly lit up my world. "So, after thinking about it carefully, the old genius was kind to me. He sent you to my side, if it wasn't for you …"

At this point, her eyes began to shine with tears again, and her voice became choked with sobs.

"Xinxin, everything is over. Let's not think about it anymore. Now it was time to think about how to deal with the next problem. Also, don't keep on thanking me. This makes me extremely uncomfortable and makes me feel that you are keeping me apart too much, as if we aren't friends. This kind of feeling really isn't good! " Rick whispered.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I'm just too emotional. I'll be careful not to put my thanks on my lips next time. " Realizing it might hurt him, she apologized quickly.

"That's more like it! It's very late now, hurry up and wash up and go to bed! If you have anything to say, leave it for tomorrow. " Rick laughed.

"Yes." Then I'll go to bed. "Good night." She did feel very tired.

For the past few days, in order to prepare for his escape, his spirit had been extremely high. In the midst of his excitement, once he had recovered from his predicament, his entire body immediately relaxed as a wave of fatigue swept over him.

After saying good night to Rick, Xia Xinxin went to her room to wash up before falling asleep.

As he lay on the soft bed with his head on the soft, warm pillow, he felt a wave of drowsiness.

Closing her eyes, she carefully felt the warmth and peace of mind that she hadn't felt in a long time. Slowly, she allowed herself to enter. He fell asleep...

It was a dreamless night. When she opened her eyes the next day, the room was filled with warm sunlight.

She narrowed her eyes and slowly opened her hands. Under the sunlight, for the first time, she felt that her hands were so beautiful and full of life.

How long had it been since she'd felt like she was dead, all gray and gray, like death itself enveloping her in layers, without any life, and every time she saw her own pale face, her colorless lips, and her hands that were as ugly as a bird's claw, she felt despair.

Now, life had returned to his body. Inside, she was delighted to see the obvious change. Her skin had become white and tender again, giving off a gentle glow under the sunlight. She didn't even need to look at herself in the mirror to know that she was beautiful and full of life.

Her heart was filled with joy. She stretched in the warm sunlight and then went down to the window. She saw that the street outside the window was already packed with people.

Was it actually very late?

she wondered, walking quickly into the office. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he opened the door and hurriedly left.

There was no sign of Rick in the living room. His room was wide open, and there was no sign of him.

She was not in a hurry and believed that he must have something to attend to.

After almost a month of interaction, she already had a lot of trust in him.

Thinking that he had disappeared for an entire night, the mental hospital should have already discovered him. I'm afraid that the news report has already come out, right?

He turned on the TV and switched to the metropolitan news channel. Sure enough, there was a repeat of a patient's disappearance in a mental hospital.

Also attached. Her picture.

The hair on her head in the photo. Chaos, sallow skin and thin skin, dull eyes, and a dazed look, indeed he looked very much like a lunatic.
