The voice seemed very anxious, as if it was blurred by several layers of gauze. It was a male voice, and it felt very familiar.

"Ayu... wake up..."

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, the sound finally penetrated the darkness.

Jiang Deng suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed.

The man's anxious expression relaxed, and he suddenly hugged the man in his arms, "If you don't wake up, I'm going to call a doctor."

Jiang Deng was still a little confused.

【Is it snowing? 】she asked.

Because of the angle, Zhou Wu couldn't see what she was saying.

Jiang Deng pushed him and repeated: [Is it snowing? ]

Zhou Wu glanced at the tightly closed curtains in the bedroom: "I don't know... Don't move, I'll go check it out now!"

Zhou Wu stopped Jiang Deng who was about to get out of bed, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtain.

It was dark outside and the north wind was howling.

No snow.

"It's not snowing." Zhou Wu returned to the bed and hugged Jiang Deng again, "Ayu, did you have a nightmare?

"Dream about... the past?"

That's right.

Jiang Deng seemed to come back to his senses at this moment and hummed.

"Ayu, do you often have nightmares recently?" Zhou Wu looked at her with concern.

She has really been acting very abnormal lately.

Jiang Deng shook his head: [Neither.]

Zhou Wu looked at the watch: "It's only three o'clock in the morning, do you want to sleep a little longer..."

After seeing that she was somewhat reluctant, he changed his tone: "It's okay if you don't sleep. I'll accompany you."

Zhou Wu turned on the bedside lamp.

The warm yellow light instantly illuminated the head of the bed.

Jiang Deng pushed him: [Turn on the headlights.]

There was a "click" sound.

The ceiling light in the center lit up, and the entire bedroom was instantly filled with white light.

Although it was a bit dazzling, Jiang Deng made him feel at ease.

Zhou Wu turned on the projector, randomly selected a lively comedy, and watched the show while leaning against the head of the bed with his arms around Jiang Deng.

About halfway through, Jiang Deng turned around and found Zhou Wu had fallen asleep.

Yes, he has to go on a business trip today.

Jiang Deng turned down the volume of the movie and adjusted herself to a comfortable position in the man's arms. Zhou Wu didn't wake up, but subconsciously tightened her arms around him.

【Zhou Wu...

【Do you feel tired staying with me? 】

Jiang Deng opened his lips silently.

Zhou Wu couldn't see, so naturally he couldn't answer.

But Jiang Deng didn't want an answer either.

Gradually, accompanied by his steady breathing and the noisy voices in the film, Jiang Deng also fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was almost ten o'clock. The projector on the wall had been turned off, and Zhou Wu was gone, but he had left her a message as usual.

After lunch, the cell phone rang.

Jiang Deng told Zhou Wu to call her every day, but she didn't expect to receive a video call from him so soon.

"Ayu."

Judging from the background, Zhou Wu had just returned to the hotel.

【Um. 】

Jiang Deng had just finished her meal and was looking at the supporting actor route information sent to her by her assistant.

She seemed to be in much better spirits, and Zhou Wu felt relieved.

"What are your plans for this afternoon?"

[No, maybe just go shopping.]

In the afternoon, she planned to go to the route that Feng Yunian often passed by to check out the places, and shopping was just a side trip.

Zhou Wu was obviously very busy and had to squeeze out some time for herself. She made a phone call to confirm her situation and then hung up in a hurry.

Is it fun to go shopping alone?

To be honest, it's not very interesting. I feel like a loner.

So except when Zhou Wu accompanied her, Jiang Deng seldom went shopping.

She probably walked along the route that Feng Yunian often took at night, then bought a few pieces of jewelry at a nearby shopping mall and went home.

Feng Yunian works in a bustling office area, but the living conditions there are very poor. In Heitu Village, his one-way commute takes almost two hours every day.

Black Soil Village, as the name suggests, means the soil that nourishes darkness, which is the nickname given to this village by others.

Jiang Deng took his bodyguards for a walk inside in the name of City Walk and curiosity.

She had lived in Heitu Village in her previous life, and she knew the situation there very well. After visiting it today, she found that it was not much different from her memory.

There are all kinds of people and public security is in chaos.

Ordinary people would never live here. Most of the people living here are desperate criminals who have nowhere else to go.

It’s better during the day, but the probability of dirty things happening at night is much higher.

But even gangsters have good sense and know who to mess with and who not to mess with.

Even a rich and powerful person like Jiang Deng would know to give face even if he is short-sighted.

So Jiang Deng made a trip and came back unharmed.

But she had originally thought that the incident of the beautiful heroine saving the hero would take a few days to unfold, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Deng hung up the video call with Zhou Wu and was about to go to wash up when her assistant suddenly sent her a message:

[The gang of thugs took action in Heitu Village.]

Jiang Deng was suddenly startled, put on some going-out clothes and wanted to rush there.

Aunt Wang saw her rushing out and was a little surprised: "Miss?"

【I suddenly remembered that I lost something. 】

Jiang Deng said something and got into the car.

As soon as I sat down, 001 in my mind also issued a warning:

[Ding! Warning to the host, if you maliciously interfere with the key plot of the novel, you will be severely punished by the system! Severe cases may be directly wiped out! ]

Jiang Deng calmed down:

[I don't understand what you are saying. Is it wrong for me to look for something I lost myself? ]

She had been particularly careful this afternoon and had left one of her diamond earrings near Heitu Village.

It must be gone now.

But that didn't stop her from taking advantage of the situation to find him.

Because the diamond earrings were very precious. They were the gift Zhou Wu gave her for her eighteenth birthday. They were a one-of-a-kind design in the world.

001 got stuck.

Because according to the character behavior calculations in its database, Jiang Deng's actions are indeed logical.

The original novel did not mention the specific plot of Jiang Deng, so this actually gave her room to maneuver.

The car started, and the driver drove along the road he had taken this afternoon as Jiang Deng had instructed.

……

Wen Taotao had just finished her part-time job at a milk tea shop in the evening.

She wants to earn back the money she spent on the bicycle.

When closing the store, Wen Taotao said goodbye to the other people in the store and then took the subway back to school alone.

There is still some distance from the milk tea shop to the subway station, and she has to walk more than 800 meters.

Because the store was closed a little late tonight, Wen Taotao was afraid of missing the last subway, so she did not follow the familiar route, but took a shortcut according to the map navigation.

There is a section of the road that is quite remote and has no street lights.

Wen Taotao was walking with the flashlight on her cell phone when she suddenly felt a little scared.

It was too dark, and too quiet.

She had the urge to turn around and go back the way she came.

But we have come this far, should we hold on a little longer? We are almost there.

Just when Wen Taotao was struggling, a car with its headlights on suddenly appeared at the intersection ahead.

The car stopped in front of her with a bang, and the window slowly rolled down, revealing a face that Wen Taotao was not expecting.

Black hair and red lips, cool and lazy.

Ginger lantern!

Why is she here?

Coincidentally, Jiang Deng's phone screen was shown to her, and he asked the same question:

[Wen Taotao, right? Why are you here? ]
