Yu Meng took a ride with the farmers to a nearby town, found a public phone booth and called Su Yu.

It was very noisy around them, and it took half a day of questioning before they could hear that Su Yu and Shen Nian were at a beautiful European bar in the tourist area. They did not go there for fun, but because that place was a black area in the tourist area, and in this situation, that place was the most suitable place to hide.

Shen Nian seemed to know about the teahouse that Yu Meng was talking about.

"North Zone …" Although it was Shen Nian who picked up the phone, Su Yu's voice from the side was very clear. "We ran out with great difficulty but we have to go back huh …"

Shen Nian's voice came again from the other side of the phone, it was unknown if it was for Su Yu or for Yu Meng.

"If the plan has changed, I will go myself. Su Yu will not go."

"Don't, don't, don't, don't. You've already gone, why have I been staying here, as someone else's …" Halfway through his words, Su Yu suddenly stopped talking. He didn't know if Shen Nian had pushed him away.

However, after a few days, the relationship between the two of them had gotten hotter. Yu Meng said, "Alright then. I'll wait for you here. Be careful."

"Alright."

After the call ended, Yu Meng bought some food and then got a lift to take her back. The deserted tea garden looked like an old haunted house at night.

When Yu dreamed of the tea garden, it was already late at night.

Following the wind, he pulled her to the side of the road and got off the car. Yu Meng could only walk towards the tea garden with the bag in her hand.

The more they walked, the darker it became. Occasionally, a cold breeze would blow by, causing the plastic bags to rustle. It was truly a terrifying scene to behold.

Yu Meng quickened her pace. She finally arrived at the vicinity of the tea garden, but she heard a strange sound coming from her surroundings. She could not help but tighten her grip on her heart and swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. The sound was getting louder and louder and her heart was racing faster and faster. She decided that the tea garden was not far from here.

Thinking of this, Yu Meng rushed towards the tea garden.

It wasn't easy to reach the door, but because they couldn't see clearly in the darkness, she knocked into a person's chest. Even the person that was knocked by her couldn't stand properly, and the two of them pressed tightly against each other before falling backwards.

"Err …" The man cried out in pain. He was pressed down by Yu Meng, but he extended his hand to protect her.

"Big White!" Yu Meng pressed her ear to his, and could tell his identity by the smell of his body.

The sound that scared Yu Meng just now must have been the sound of him walking on the fallen leaves.

Yu Meng let out a long breath, climbed down from Tan Yubai's body and helped him up.

"Damn it, why are you standing here quietly? You scared me to death."

Tan Yubai laughed: "What, I'm not standing still. Do you want me to stand here and cry blood wolves?"

"Just stay in the room and lie down. You're not fully recovered yet."

Tan Yubai suddenly raised his hands and wrapped them around Yu Meng's waist, pressing her into his embrace.

"I woke up and saw that you weren't here. I waited for a while but didn't come back. I was worried, so I wanted to come out and find you."

"What's there to worry about?" Yu Meng broke free of Tan Yubai's embrace and went to pick up the plastic bag that fell to the ground. She then sighed in regret.

Tan Yubai seemed to have understood something. His empty embrace suddenly became a little cold as the night wind blew past. He crouched down and helped Yu Meng pick it up.

The two of them carried the messy dinner back to the house. There was not much left to eat.

"If I had known, I would have bought more." Yu Meng sighed sadly. She didn't want to waste it, but now it seemed that she didn't have enough to eat.

"It's fine, I'm not too hungry either."

Tan Yubai and Yu Meng sat under the bed together and ate. Tan Yubai did not touch her again.

Not even once.

Yu Meng also felt that something had happened between them.

"Oh yeah, I've contacted Su Yu and Shen Nian. They are already waiting for us at the tourist area."

"Yes."

"Shen Nian told us to stay here and wait for them to come find us."

"Yes."

"Just now in the town, I heard some news, the government has already found the weapons, but there is no evidence to control Yue Sa, Yue Sa did not say who found him to buy the weapons, I think it is because Yue Sa realized that I was just pretending to be a tiger back then, mainly because I wanted to frame him, so in order to not offend the tiger, he did not speak the truth."

"Yes."

"But I feel that the more he hides, the more people will guess in the direction of the tiger." Yu Meng continued: "Yue Sa is also a well-known person in the North Zone. The only person that can make him keep his mouth shut is Lu Youhuai."

"Yes."

"Anyway, we can't escape the tiger's calamity this time. After angering so many mercenary troops, he's dead for sure."

"Yes."

Tan Yubai's attitude was not one bit hot or cold. After he had eaten his fill, he lied on the bed, turned to the side, and closed his eyes.

This was the only bed in the room, and there were other run-down rooms next door. There was a room to sleep in, but Yu Meng was a little scared.

She didn't want to go to the other rooms. She wanted to stay here.

"Big White …" Yu Meng asked, "Can I sleep next to you?"

Tan Yubai opened his eyes, his voice was hoarse and filled with fatigue.

He said, "Go to the other rooms and sleep."

Yu Meng didn't expect that she would be rejected. She stood by the bed for a long time before she finally spoke.

"Are you angry with me?"

Tan Yubai's eyes drooped and he sighed, a heavy, bitter and astringent feeling flowing out.

"I'm just angry with myself."

Yu Meng suddenly found this funny. She laughed out loud as if she hadn't thought of it at all. "So you want to punish yourself? You're not allowed to sleep with me?"

After Yu Meng finished speaking, she just so happened to meet Tan Yubai's black eyes that were as deep as a pond. Her body stiffened, as if she had been suddenly frozen in place.

The person who could avoid his intimacy was him …

Tan Yubai glanced at Yu Meng indifferently, then turned his body, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Yu Meng was getting a little angry.

"Tan Yubai, if you don't sleep with me today, then don't sleep with me ever again!" She said this in an emotional tone, but the person on the bed did not react.

Yu Meng was furious. Her feet were covered in a pile of scrap metal. As she turned to leave, she heavily kicked the pile of scrap metal. The sound of the impact reverberated throughout the room.

This Tan Yubai, when he was in trouble, was so fierce and fierce towards her. After he had recovered his composure, he did not know what kind of trouble he had gotten himself into, but even if he said that he would ignore her, he would instead ignore her.

Yu Meng laid on the hard bed. She was surrounded by the smell of damp mold as she turned over, her mind filled with complaints towards Tan Yubai.

I'm so angry, ignore him! She would ignore him again! This narrow-minded and heartless fellow, she no longer wanted to bother about him!

Yu Meng fell asleep very late. On one hand, she couldn't release her anger, but on the other hand, she was afraid of the atmosphere in the room.

He tossed and turned before finally falling asleep. Yu Meng was only sleeping lightly, and the hot, fishy air in the air made her feel extremely sticky.

Sleep for a while, wake up for a while. It was terrible.

The sleep was uncomfortable, so Yu Meng let herself wake up. She sat on the bed and rubbed her head. Slowly, her consciousness became clear.

The room was empty, the soundproofing on the wall was not good, or it could be said that the soundproofing on the wall was extremely bad, because when Yu Meng was in the room, she could almost hear Tan Yubai's heavy breathing.

She went down to put her shoes on, instinctively wanting to see him there.

However, just as she put one of her feet on, Yu Meng realized that she was clearly angry at him. Why did she want to see him?!

He took off his shoes again and lay on the bed barefoot.

After a long period of tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep anymore.

She struggled for a long time, but in the end she could no longer do so, because when she closed her eyes, other than Tan Yubai's face, there was nothing else in her mind.

Yu Meng got up from the bed, put on her shoes and went to the next room.

Tan Yubai lay on the bed, as if he was sleeping, but no matter how he looked at it, his face was filled with pain.

Yu Meng was worried. She sighed and knocked his forehead. It was a little hot, but not too hot. She then touched her forehead to feel it and was able to confirm that he wasn't having a fever.

Yu Meng looked at the blanket that he had stepped on. She bent down to pick it up and covered it up again.

He sighed and turned to leave.

However, his wrist was held back by the person behind him.

Yu Meng thought that Tan Yubai had woken up, so she pretended to be angry before she turned around. When she turned around, she realised that he had his eyes closed and was not awake at all.

Yu Meng slowly lowered her body and placed her hand on the bed.

Tan Yubai grabbed her hand with extra force.

Like a child, he felt no sense of security. Yu dreamt that his forehead was beginning to ooze cold sweat, that his brow was creased, that he was mumbling something inaudible, that he might be having a nightmare.

Yu Meng lightly shook Tan Yubai's shoulders and tried to wake him up.

But Tan Yubai seemed to be suppressed by the Nightmare Terrace, unable to wake up no matter how hard he tried.

Tan Yubai's breathing gradually quickened, his chest rising and falling as he left. The shape of his mouth gradually became clearer, and only then did Yu Meng clearly see that he was calling his name.

Yu Meng bent over and placed her other hand on the back of his hand, saying softly, "I'm here, I've always been here."

Hearing this, he seemed to feel better. His heaving chest gradually began to calm down. He moved his body, resting his face on the back of Yu Meng's hand. His breathing gradually became more even.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

Yu Meng's eyes met with her, and she immediately pulled her hand away, looking away awkwardly.

"About that …" Yu Meng opened her mouth as she explained why she was holding his hand and gazing at him affectionately in the middle of the night, "You must be having a nightmare."

Tan Yubai lightly said, "Mhm." He made a sound.

"About that …" Yu Meng replied in a low voice, "What did you dream?"

"You."
