--- Chu Jie didn't know how long it was when they finally stopped at a place. The day had already turned into the dark shade of night. Along the way, Sufy had covered his eyes with a back cloth so that he wouldn't understand the direction or any signboards to let him know where they were going. After what happened in the Andingzhen base, she was extra cautious this time. She couldn't go to Langfang either with what happened in the Natural Park. So this was her next stop. She finally removed the cloth…

*Xin Lei* My hands were still wrapped around Bai Li. He leaned in and softly kissed my forehead. "I am sorry." I smiled. I pulled his head and let it rest on my chest. We stayed quiet like that for some time while I was brushing my fingers through his hair. Then he laid back on his side and took me in his arms, and I hugged his chest. A few moments later, I typed. "Okay. Now let get some things straight. First, promise me that you won't blame yourself anymore." Bai Li trailed his hand through my back…

*Bai Li* Xin Lei was messing up my heart. That was the first time in five years that I laid my heart bare for someone. The feelings and fears that I wanted so badly to hide from everyone, I couldn't help but sharing everything with her. It felt as if an invisible force propelled me to confess the darkest time of my life. I knew she didn't like me blaming myself, but now it was becoming automatic and instantaneous to assume that I was always at fault. But when she suddenly placed her soft lips on mine,…

*Xin Lei* I had enough of Bai Li constantly blaming himself for all the problems. So this was the best way to make him stop. Even I was surprised by myself when I kissed him. But it felt so natural. It was involuntary. It was instinct. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips even more, even further and even deeper. I felt Bai Li go stiff. His arms on my waist didn't even move even a single inch. At that moment, he was as good as a log of wood. Obviously, I knew he must be shocked as hell. His frigid…

*Xin Lei* Bai Li… I buried my face in his chest. I felt him resting his chin on my head. After a short pause, Bai Li said, "But it was bright, Xin Lei. I asked Su Weiyuan to make me sit outside on the bench under the sunlight. I didn't listen to him matter how much he tried to talk to me. I insisted. And then I stayed there for the entire twenty-four hours, but I failed to see anything. I didn't see the brightness of the sun. I didn't see the sky. I didn't see anything. And the truth that hit me hard…

*Xin Lei* Bai Li and I booked a room in a nearby small hotel to freshen up before we leave for Langfang. I came out of the shower and found that Bai Li was lying on the bed, his eyes closed. I slowly climbed on the bed, too, and lied beside him. But Bai Li didn't react at all. I typed. "You remember that we have to talk, right?" I noticed the slight change in his expression. The lines on his forehead creased for just a second, but I caught it. I scooted a little closer to him. I typed. "Bai Li, I…

--- Chu Jie was nervously shifting and trembling in his seat. He was holding onto Cocoa, who was unconscious in his arms. The woman, Sufy, was muttering curses as she kept on driving in the new car. Her left wrist was bleeding, and she could hardly handle the steering wheel with it. So she was forced to use her right hand more. There was a fresh scar on her left cheek too. It were the marks of claws that tore apart her skin. "Fucking dog!" She spat furiously. Chu Jie jolted. His body was shaking, and…

*Xin Lei* The officer said, "We checked the footage of the next CCTV we could find, but we didn't find the car. But when we searched ahead, we found smoke coming from an area. When we reached, we found the car abandoned at a secluded spot, and as predicted, it was burning on fire." I jolted and looked at him in horror. B-burning? Bai Li froze. "You found the car? And Chu Jie? Cocoa or the woman?" I felt him tightly clutching my hand. Or was it me who was clutching his? The cop shook his head. "No.…

*Xin Lei* I typed. "Please, no matter what, just keep looking. It is still possible to find them." It had been an hour since, but there was still hope. Duan Deming nodded. "I know. But from what one officer told me, the base was in a secluded area, so there is no CCTV's for quite a stretch of the road. We will find the next nearest footage we can look for to know the direction." Bai Li said, "I'm sure that they might be heading to Lang Fang." Duan Deming widened his eyes. "How do you say that with so…

*Bai Li* I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know what I was saying. I was never that unsure of my skills before. I confidently promised Chu Jie that I would take him out of there. But I failed him. I failed Xin Lei's trust in me too. Strange huh? Just last night, I confessed my feelings to Xin Lei, and within a span of only sixteen hours, I already doubted our future. It didn't matter to me if I tried my best to control the situation. I failed. And that was it. Everything spiraled out of my…
