C71

Yu Meng stared blankly at the air before her cellphone suddenly rang.

"No need, I'm heading back now." Yu Meng was already heading back. She raised her hand to stop a van and told Fang Rui the location of the hotel, "Fang Rui, didn't I already tell you everything? Don't call me Director Yu.

It was then that Yu Meng realized that she had just gone to the most chaotic place in the entire Sri Lanka, where even the police couldn't handle her.

Without the sudden appearance of the man, she might not have been able to see tomorrow's sun.

After a bumpy ride to the hotel, Yu Meng gave the driver a piece of money and smiled, saying that she didn't need to find money.

The sky was already completely dark, Yu Meng was too lazy to look at the time on her phone. As she walked up the stairs of the hotel, she saw Fang Rui walking down with her hair still wet.

"You're finally back." Fang Rui heaved a sigh of relief: "I was planning to call you again."

"Sri Lanka is so chaotic, next time I'll bring you around, if not I won't be able to rest at ease."

Yu Meng laughed, seeing that Fang Rui looked like she had just finished her shower, she raised her head and asked: "What's wrong? Why are you downstairs so late at night?"

"I'm thirsty." Fang Rui laughed: "Go down to the supermarket to buy some beer."

Fang Rui walked down the stairs again: "Do you want to go together?"

He remembered that he had promised Fang Rui yesterday that he would continue listening to the story today.

But she was too tired, and everything that had happened seemed to have drained her of all her strength.

Yu Meng shook her head.

"I'm a little tired tonight, so I want to go to bed early." Yu Meng smiled, her smile filled with fatigue. "Tomorrow, I'll treat you to wine. "Drink whatever you want. Drink the most expensive."

"Then it's decided." Fang Rui stopped in her tracks and took half a step back in the direction of Yu Meng.

"You …" Fang Rui's voice was very gentle, as if trying to probe: "Did something happen?"

Yu Meng really wanted to praise Fang Rui for her observational skills, but she did not want to worry about this matter. She shook her head, saying that it was nothing.

"You have to tell me if you have anything to say." Fang Rui patted Yu Meng's shoulder, "Although I'm not much stronger than you, but the strength of two people together is still stronger than one."

"Yes."

"Then I'll go buy some beer."

"Alright, go ahead."

When Yu Meng returned to her room, she collapsed onto the bed and didn't have the strength to get up.

The body opened up to form the word "big". He looked up at the ceiling and let out a long breath.

During this period of time, she had always felt that she was very strong, that she had become a strong woman, that she had never thought of being.

'Yu Meng ', the reason I grew up overnight and became a strong woman was probably because she lost her protective layer all of a sudden.

The protective layer... Yu Meng repeatedly repeated this phrase in her mind.

When did she become like this? It seemed like it was after Tan Yubai left him.

So, this so-called protective layer, the protective layer for Yu Meng, was it Tan Yubai?

Although Yu Meng didn't want to admit it, she couldn't think of any other way to convince herself.

Tan Yubai...

Unknowingly, the image of that man's eyes appeared in his mind.

Why did she feel that it was so familiar? Yu Meng felt that it was strange. That kind of inexplicable and wondrous steadiness made her unable to understand.

Just like this, many days passed. The crew were busy, and Yu Meng was no exception. The movie began to be filmed, and the stars were all in pretty good mood. Yu Meng watched as she worked hard to get back on track.

However, that man's silhouette seemed to frequently appear in front of Yu Meng.

She always thought she could see him, then rubbed her eyes and thought she was hallucinating.

In the end, Yu Meng still told Fang Rui this story. After a few days of interaction, the two of them had already become friends that could talk about anything and everything.

Fang Rui patted Yu Meng's shoulder and asked her a question.

"Are his eyes nice, deep, low, super sexy?"

After recalling it for a few seconds, Yu Meng nodded.

"Yes."

"That's right." What's wrong with Fang Rui: "You're being crazy with women."

"Huh?" As Fang Rui's brain opened wide, Yu Meng thought about it, but it really made sense.

One night, Yu Meng had a dream.

In his dream was the Sri Lanka that was engulfed in flames of war. Yu Meng was at the center of the circle, surrounded by wails, howls and gunfire.

She was scared stiff. She watched as a missile came down from above her head. Yu Meng let out a shriek, and suddenly, someone rushed towards her. Her face was blurry, and could not be seen clearly in the dust.

Yu Meng was thrown to the ground, the shockwave from the bomb sweeping over her body. If she hadn't been pushed to the ground by the shockwave, she probably would have been sent flying.

The towering tree not far from them was struck and set ablaze. The fire soared high into the sky, making it difficult for Yu Meng to breathe. She panted heavily, but was choked by the smoke and dust until she started to cough.

Yu Meng looked up and saw that face, just inches away from her own. His breath was scorching hot as the fragrance of his body seeped into the girl's nose. In that instant, Yu Meng felt like she was a tree that had been struck by a bomb, and her entire body was burning hot.

She put her head in the man's arms and spoke in a shaky voice.

"Tan Yubai."

Hot tears fell on the man's chest, soaking it.

"I missed you so much."

Yu Meng could feel her heart beating faster and faster.

Then he sat up abruptly.

She clutched her chest, gasping for air.

This dream …

As Yu Meng recalled back to this scene, she felt that it was similar to the story Fang Rui had told her before.

She touched the corner of her eye and found it was wet.

It had been a long time since she'd had such a dream.

Yu Meng took a deep breath, she knew that even if she were to lie down now, she would not be able to sleep, at that moment her mind was full of Tan Yubai's face, and could not get rid of it.

She just wanted to feel a way to forget him.

Yu Meng ran over to knock on Fang Rui's door. She was very soft and gentle, just trying to test if she was asleep.

If there was no reaction, she did not plan to disturb Fang Rui.

In a second, Fang Rui opened the door.

In his hand was a bottle of beer.

"You really are a drunkard."

Fang Rui laughed.

"You're also a night owl, so what if you don't sleep at night? You want to hear the story? "

"You know me best."

"Actually, when I met the female lead of our movie, she wasn't this young."

"Not so young?"

"Yup, her name is Wen Lan. She said that this isn't her real name, and since her real name was too complicated to describe, she changed it."

Yu Meng nodded: "Wen Lan is so nice to listen to."

"When she saved me that year, she was almost forty."

"Almost forty?!" Yu Meng was astonished. "I thought this was just a young romance."

Fang Rui revealed a helpless smile.

"Wen Lan gave all her youth to this place to save the dying and help the wounded. She has always treated the duty of a doctor as the basis of life."

Fang Rui said: "Actually when I met her, she was already married and had children."

Yu Meng was even more surprised.

"Got a child?!" Isn't this story something that happened in the Sri Lanka? "

< You Are Nearby > was originally a girl and boy who met each other on the battlefield, and then stayed with the old story until the end. But what the hell was Fang Rui saying that she was already married?
