Mr. Li, please stop abusing me. My wife is getting engaged.

"Did you see Zi Zi after school today?" Yingge knocked on Li Zeyi's door and asked anxiously.

"Zi Zi is missing?" Li Zeyi shouted almost instantly.

"I called her but her phone was turned off. She hasn't come back yet."

Li Zeyi's heart beat faster. He grabbed the car keys from the shoe cabinet and ran to the elevator without even changing into slippers.

"Follow me..." Li Zeyi shouted to Yingge behind him.

Yingge followed him into the elevator.

He pressed the minus one button roughly, and because he was panicking, he pressed it several times before he succeeded.

Yingge was moved by his urgency. He must be really in love with Zizi.

"Where does she usually go?"

Li Zeyi drove very fast and asked Yingge who was sitting in the back seat of the car.

"Her whereabouts are quite monotonous. She basically only goes to school and the snack street behind it. She usually goes home before 8 o'clock. If there is anything, she will call me."

"Then let's go to school first."

Li Zeyi overtook other cars along the way and ran through several red lights, and the car soon arrived at the school.

"Where was her last class?"

Yingge found Su Jinyan's class schedule in her cell phone album.

"Room 4, Teaching Building No. 304."

After saying that, Li Zeyi ran over.

"Do you know where Building 4 is?"

Li Zeyi ran frantically. He knew that he had looked at the school layout map last time and he took note of it.

He didn't dare to think about what he would do if something really happened to his Zi Zi.

Xia Yingge was behind him and couldn't catch up at all.

When Li Zeyi went upstairs, he felt that his slippers were too much of a hindrance and climbing the stairs was too slow, so he simply threw the slippers away.

He ran to Room 304, looked around, and saw Su Jinyan's bag and cell phone in a drawer.

"She didn't take her phone with her, so it must be nearby. She must have planned to come back soon. She must be trapped. Who trapped her?..."

Li Zeyi muttered to himself, his eyes were filled with anger and coldness...

He ran to the lab.

He remembered her saying: What she was afraid of was that she had seen it too many times and deliberately avoided looking at it or thinking about it.

"Zi Zi, are you there..."

"Zi Zi, where are you..."

The low, hoarse voice was filled with deep worry. It came from far away and then approached.

Su Jinyan found it unbelievable and was afraid that she was hallucinating.

“Zi Zi… Zi Zi…” the man called out again and again.

It wasn't an auditory hallucination; someone really came to see her.

Su Jinyan felt that the taut rope in her body had broken.

Tears burst out of my eyes like a flood that couldn't be stopped.

She tried to make a sound, but her throat felt dry and tight.

"I am here……"

In the end, all he could make was a small, suppressed, broken sound.

One sound is enough.

At this sound, Li Zeyi paused and his tense heart suddenly relaxed.

He found his Zi Zi.

"Zi Zi, I'm here, don't be afraid..."

He saw her huddled behind the door through the window. The dim moonlight made the terrible equipment in the room glow coldly.

His voice was extremely gentle, and the anxiety and fear in his voice were well suppressed by him...

The moment she heard his voice, Su Jinyan calmed down a little and was not so scared anymore.

"Zi Zi, I'm going to kick the door open. Please step back so I don't get hurt. Cover your ears... Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

She tried to stand up, but her feet were completely numb.

She remained squatting and tried to move back a little.

"Bang" the door was kicked open by him.

Li Zeyi took a step in front of her and squatted down.

In the dim night, he could see tears on her face.

It was as if a hand was squeezing his heart, causing it to ache violently.

He reached out his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Li Zeyi, my feet are numb, I want to leave here..." There was a cry in his voice.

Li Zeyi picked her up and carried her sideways, then left quickly.

She leaned her head against his chest, his warm body temperature comforting her.

She climbed her wrists toward his neck like a dodder climbing a sturdy red pine.

Li Zeyi held Su Jinyan very high so that he could see her face clearly.

Su Jinyan, who is usually strong and energetic, looks thin and silent.

Li Zeyi felt a sharp pain, and a strong desire to protect surged in his heart.

He held her tightly in his arms and walked on the road in his socks.

Debris on the road scratched his feet, but he seemed unaware.

Xia Yingge walked up the stairs and saw Li Zeyi's slippers on the floor. She was stunned for a moment.

Li Zeyi carried Su Jinyan all the way back and gently placed her on the bed.

Perhaps she was exhausted from being suppressed in the equipment room for too long. She fell asleep in his arms.

Li Zeyi placed her gently on the bed. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she slept very uneasily.

Only then did Li Zeyi remember that Yingge was still in school.

"Zi Zi has been found. I brought her back. Please be careful and take a taxi back."

Su Jinyan looked haggard, with her hair stuck to her head, and she looked sickly weak.

Li Zeyi fetched some water and wiped her face and hands.

Su Jinyan's cheeks became redder and redder. Li Zeyi touched her head and found that she had a fever.

She seemed to be in a nightmare, with her brows furrowed and her breathing disordered.

"Zi Zi, don't be afraid, I'm here..." He comforted her again and again, his voice soft and affectionate.

Li Zeyi put a towel on her forehead and wiped her arms and hands to cool them down.

Xia Yingge took back Su Jinyan's cell phone and bag. Li Zeyi's door was ajar, so she walked in.

Seeing Su Jinyan looking haggard with a fever-reducing patch on her head, Li Zeyi looked at her with concern.

"I found her in the equipment room. She looked frightened..."

Li Zeyi didn't say anything else. Thinking of her squatting on the ground helplessly, his heart ached and he clenched his fists at his sides.

Although Xia Yingge hadn't seen it, she remembered that Su Jinyan had described the equipment inside to her, and it was very terrifying...

Li Zeyi really wanted Su Jinyan to stay, but he knew he couldn't because he didn't have the status to let her stay in his house overnight.

He picked her up with a tense look and walked towards her room.

Xia Yingge followed him and found that he was only wearing socks, which were stained with red liquid.

He put her on the bed. Su Jinyan half-opened her eyes, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

But she could see Li Zeyi standing beside her with a worried look on his face.

"Don't go, Li Zeyi, I'm afraid..."

After saying that, he fell into sleep again.

Xia Yingge rarely saw Su Jinyan looking so weak, and felt distressed for a moment.

Both of them felt that what happened to Su Jinyan tonight was abnormal, but no one wanted to talk about it at the moment.

My heart feels heavy as I discuss this topic at this moment.

"Let me stay and take care of her..."

Li Zeyi looked at Yingge with a firm gaze, but his tone was filled with humble requests.

He knew he shouldn't stay here at night, but he couldn't leave at this moment.

Seeing that she was frightened, had a fever, her brows were furrowed, and she was sleeping restlessly, he couldn't go back to sleep.

Even just being with her, he could feel at ease.

He just wanted to tell her that he was there for her.

He didn't know if he could bring her some peace of mind, but he had to do it.
