The panicking Little Grass had been trapped in her bedroom for who knows how long. Her hand that was knocking on the door was hurting and her voice was hoarse, yet she was unable to wait for Xia Wan to arrive.
Time ticked by, and through the window, the grass noticed the night gradually descending. It made its way around the room, scratching its ears and cheeks in anxiety.
While walking around, Little Grass clenched her teeth, and felt that she must think of a way to report this to her. Otherwise, if Xia Wan really had anything good to do, she would have to bear the guilt for the rest of her life.
As a result, the small grass quickly scuttled to the window. It was two stories high, making people feel intimidated just by looking at it.
Fortunately, Little Grass was nimble and often climbed trees in her hometown. As a result, she no longer hesitated and opened the window, jumping down.
Although she landed steadily on the ground, Little Grass's arms and soles were completely numb. However, she couldn't care less and hastily ran into the living room to look for the phone.
He dialed Tang Shaofeng's contact number, and Xiao grass urgently said: "Sir, big sister locked me upstairs, and went out alone!"
Tang Shaofeng who was on the other end of the phone still had not reacted, Little Grass had already found the clock in her line of sight, "It's already been four hours and she still hasn't returned, I can't drive, and I don't know where Big Sister went to. Sir, what should we do now?"
"I'll be right back!" Tang Shaofeng's tone was low, making people tremble with fear.
Xiao Yao frowned, she was just about to apologize to Tang Shaofeng when she was hung up.
In the next few days, Little Grass anxiously paced back and forth in the house, waiting for Tang Shaofeng's return.
At the same time, she also fantasized that Xia Wan would be back soon.
But as time passed and Xia Wan's figure still did not appear, Little Grass's head was completely filled with fear and unease.
At nine o'clock, Tang Shaofeng returned to the old house in a travel-worn state, a strong sense of urgency and worry reflected in his eyes.
When he saw the grass, his first words were: "Has Madame come back?"
Grass bit her lip, and tears began to well in her eyes. "No."
Tang Shaofeng scratched his head, his face pale white. His eyes filled with fear and worry.
He glanced out of the house at the black sky, which gave the night a dangerous look, and roared at the grass, "You can't even look at a patient I told you to look after! How on earth did you do it!? You're so clear about Xia Wan's current situation, how can you just let her secretly slip away! "
Little Grass twisted her fingers, and her tears fell, "Sorry, sir, I was useless! "Let's go find big sister, it's getting darker and darker …"
It was fine if Little Grass did not say that she was going to look for someone, but when Little Grass mentioned that she was going to look for someone, Tang Shaofeng was as furious as if a bomb had been ignited.
He raised his eyebrows and was so angry that he became confused. Then, he lost his composure and mocked: "Find? Where can I find it? Do you know where she went? "
Of course, Little Grass couldn't answer, so she just buried her head and sobbed.
, whose face was filled with regret, let out a heavy sigh. His emotions had finally calmed down a little, "I was too anxious, don't take it to heart. I'll go out and find someone. Once Xia Wan comes back, you immediately call me and let me know. "
Little Grass quickly started to mess with him. She raised her hand and casually wiped her tears, "Mhmm!"
Seeing that, Tang Shaofeng frowned, and turned to leave, his eyes gloomy.
After a while, he turned around worriedly, "If Xia Wan doesn't come back soon, notify me in an hour."
Then, Little Grass stayed home and guarded the phone, while Tang Shaofeng like a headless fly drove around in search of Xia Wan's figure.
It was as if Xia Wan left home secretly and had set off a storm in his heart. As long as he could not find Xia Wan, the fear in his heart would not be quelled.
Along the way, Tang Shaofeng tried to call Xia Wan. In the beginning, there was no one answering her, but in the end, she was no longer able to get through.
"Xia Wan, what are you trying to do? "Quickly go home!" With a punch on the steering wheel, Tang Shaofeng threw the phone to the side and started chanting.
On the bridge over the Pu River, Xia Wan was walking along the road with a frustrated look in her eyes, like a lost child.
Her deep eyes were filled with the sorrow of a river flowing against the current. The cold wind lifted her long hair, merging her with the vast world around her.
Being impoverished and in a sorry state, was no longer enough to describe Xia Wan's current state. She looked more like a body that had lost its soul, which made people feel pain in their hearts.
Xia Wan stopped and did not move forward anymore. She turned her body to the side, facing the roiling river water.
"Ah — —" After shouting hysterically, Xia Wan did not feel any joy at all. It was as if she had been drained of all of her energy and slowly sat on the ground, her body trembling in accordance to the rhythm of her crying.
After separating with Ye Fu, she did not know how she walked out of that private club. She only remembered that Tang Shaofeng's cold and emotionless words, like a magic spell, had repeatedly echoed in her ears, tormenting her until her mind went blank, and her heart was bleeding.
From Selina to Wan Qian, Tang Shaofeng had never moved an inch, but he had coincidentally fallen into the hands of Ye Fu, who had injured her before.
Maybe Ye Fu's methods were too brilliant, so Tang Shaofeng was unable to escape this Peach Blossom Tribulation.
But Xia Wan had never thought that Tang Shaofeng's tolerance towards her was only due to guilt, and the other party was not like her, feeling regret for the child who did not manage to be reborn.
Therefore, she did not lose to Ye Fu, but to Tang Shaofeng instead. She had suffered a crushing defeat from head to toe. This fatal blow had left her with no hope for life.
"He doesn't love me, he just pitied me, haha …" Xia Wan held his head, and muttered to himself as if he was insane.
She forced herself not to think about the past anymore, but Tang Shaofeng's words and her every word seemed to have cut across her eyes like a movie clip, "What kind of bullsh * t guilt is this?!" Tang Shaofeng, I have my own pride too. I do not need your pity, your charity … "
Xia Wan, whose eyes had been extinguished, had a determined look on her face. She propped herself up from the ground, and only the thought of escape remained in her mind.
Xia Wan took out the phone that was already turned off from her pocket, threw it into the river, and ran forward with all her might.
In the starless night, a beautiful and frail figure ran aimlessly through the city, wandering around the corners like a ghost.
At the same time, Tang Shaofeng also ran everywhere like a madman. He had looked for all the places Xia Wan might have gone to, and even if it was Xiao Muting's place, he had confirmed it. But Xia Wan had disappeared without a trace.
As the dawn approached, the sky lit up with traces of white. The exhausted Xia Wan was squatting at an unfamiliar corner, looking as blank as a beggar.
After running away for an entire night, she didn't know where she was. She only knew that if she forced herself to keep walking forward, her legs would be crippled.
Every muscle in her body was screaming in pain, but it was not even a thousandth of her heartbreak.
Feeling desperate, Tang Shaofeng had no choice but to report his disappearance. The police started to search the entire city, and finally, they locked onto Xia Wan using the monitoring equipment installed on the traffic hub.
When the police brought Tang Shaofeng to the street where Xia Wan was sleeping, he almost did not recognize the other party.
The current Xia Wan, with his dishevelled hair and disheveled clothes, looked like a homeless person.
What made Tang Shaofeng even more suspicious was that when Xia Wan and him were looking at each other, he instinctively looked at each other and retreated.
Tang Shaofeng's heart ached to the extreme. He had originally prepared a series of critical moments, but now he could not even speak a single word.
He frowned, and without saying a word, he carried Xia Wan. He felt that when Xia Wan was touched by him, her entire body was trembling, the rims of her eyes turned red, and her lips paled.
He believed that Xia Wan was provoked, and wanted to kill her even if she had the heart to.
Therefore, after he sent Xia Wan into the car, he started chatting with the police with a cold expression.
After knowing that, in the footage captured by the surveillance cameras, Xia Wan was only running, and did not meet any evil people, Tang Shaofeng was puzzled, and turned to look at Xia Wan.
When the two of them returned home, Xiao Zhi saw that Xia Wan was safe and sound and heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank god! Elder sister, where did you go? "
Xia Wan acted as if she did not hear the question, and only indifferently raised her head to ask Little Grass.
Sensing that something was wrong with Xia Wan, Little Grass looked at Tang Shaofeng with a perplexed expression.
Tang Shaofeng secretly shook his head at Little Grass, then softly asked Xia Wan: "Are you hungry?"
Xia Wan remained indifferent. This time, she didn't even raise her head.
Little Grass and Tang Shaofeng both noticed Xia Wan's strangeness, and the atmosphere of the house once again became heavy.
Because Xia Wan was unwilling to say a single word, and didn't even have to communicate through eyes, Tang Shaofeng thought that the other party was feeling unwell and pulled Xia Wan over to her bedroom to inspect.
Seeing that there were no major problems with Xia Wan's body, and only that her feet were worn out, Tang Shaofeng squatted in front of Xia Wan with warm eyes. "Wife, can you tell me what's wrong?"
Xia Wan did not say a word, and silently stared at the tip of her own foot.
Coincidentally, the sound of Little Grass calling for food came from downstairs, so Tang Shaofeng left without a trace.
Seeing that Xia Wan did not follow him, he stopped his steps and turned around. Only when he realized that the other party was still in the same position as before, did Tang Shaofeng realize that something was wrong.
As he recalled carefully, he was shocked to realize that from the second he found Xia Wan, Xia Wan had been pulled by him like a child.
Clenching his fists, Tang Shaofeng was unable to accept the conclusion he had. He immediately grabbed Xia Wan's hand and said, "Come, let's go eat."
As expected, he pulled Xia Wan along. Xia Wan had just stood up and walked forward, while Xia Wan followed suit.
Tang Shaofeng, whose eyes were in pain, looked at Xia Wan with a complicated gaze for some time. Then, an extremely forced and bitter smile surfaced on her face, "Wifey, can you not scare me like that?"
There was no response, Xia Wan was as numb as a robot.
Tang Shaofeng did not believe that Xia Wan would really lose her ability to act. He fed the other party and placed it right in front of Xia Wan, but Xia Wan remained unmoving as if she did not see it.
"Sir. "Elder sister, this is?"
Tang Shaofeng's gaze became gloomy, he did not answer Little Grass's question, but rather, he raised the spoon and fed it to Xia Wan.
When the food was fed to her mouth, Xia Wan would usually chew and swallow it, but she herself did not have the consciousness to eat at all.
Observing until now, Tang Shaofeng seemed to be unable to deny that Xia Wan was even more sick. He put down the tableware and buried his face in his palms, as if he was about to cry.
