The motorcycle sped along the road, splashing water from its wheels. There was still drizzle in the sky, falling on the ground like silk.

Yuying gripped the handle tightly, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.

In the back seat of the car sat an injured man, his face as pale as paper, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead and running down his cheeks. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could only make a faint groan.

Yuying didn't dare to ride too fast and tried to avoid bumps on the road, fearing that the bumps would aggravate Sha Feiran's injuries, but she was also worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

While concentrating on the road ahead, he looked back from time to time to observe his condition.

The weight on her back was getting heavier and heavier, as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing on her back, and those hands were holding her waist tightly, as if they were afraid that they would lose something if they let go.

In the cold drizzle and chilly evening breeze, someone's body began to tremble slightly, his lips began to turn purple, and his body seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, making him feel extremely heavy.

His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and every beat seemed to burst through his chest, and his breathing became rapid and weak, as if every breath would be his last. His eyes became blurry, his vision blurred, and the world around him became distorted.

He seemed particularly vulnerable at this moment.

Feeling the pain behind him, Yuying silently increased her speed while staying awake and talking to him.

"Hey, don't really faint."

"Hold on, we're almost there!"

"Um……"

Each breath he exhaled was low and weak, and he took all his strength.

"Still awake, don't worry."

Through the heavy helmet and the whistling wind, Yuying tried hard to hear what he said, but was unable to do so.

The low and weak voice seemed to be blown away by the wind, leaving only a vague murmur that was difficult to recognize.

However, despite this, Yuying could still feel the emotional fluctuations in that voice, which penetrated her back and spread throughout her body like an electric current.

As his voice came, Yuying felt his body tremble slightly. This trembling seemed to be transmitted to her along with his words, making her heart tighten involuntarily, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

This guy……

Why do I always get myself into this state, and every time I get caught by her?

Even though he has so many secrets, she always has to save him.

Yuying frowned tightly and increased her speed, even her palms were sweating.

Finally I arrived at the place he mentioned, slowly stopped the motorcycle and took off my helmet.

As night falls and rain drops, the entire old town is shrouded in silence.

The mottled walls and flashing neon lights set off each other, creating a bleak and mysterious atmosphere. Many buildings here still retain their classical structure, but Yuying is no longer in the mood to appreciate them.

Her mind was completely on the man beside her. Yuying held him tightly, fearing that he would fall.

They slowly ascended the narrow outdoor stairs, taking each step with extreme caution.

The narrow stairwell was filled with a damp smell and water stains on the ground, making their walking more difficult. Yuying tried hard to keep her balance, but the man on her shoulders made her feel heavier.

His breathing was weak and rapid, and he seemed to be in great pain.

"Why do you want to live in a place like this?"

Yuying looked around and frowned, "There's not even an elevator. It's really inconvenient."

After hearing Yuying's complaints, Sha Feiran raised his head weakly.

"I'm sorry to bother you again today."

"fine……"

Yuying sighed and stared at his pale and weak face. "You are the financial sponsor, so it's only natural."

"..."

Sha Feiran closed his eyes and smiled silently with the corners of his mouth raised.

"It's on the third floor. We're almost there."

"Ah."

Maybe it was because of his injury, she never asked too many questions, and the two of them had a tacit understanding without realizing it -

The tacit understanding of trusting and being trusted.

Walking into his residence, the interior is as low-key and calm as his appearance.

It feels more like a hostel or hotel than an apartment for long-term stays.

The narrow room had no decoration at all. It only had two sofas and a large bed. The furniture and furnishings were extremely simple. Without any ornaments or decorations, it looked particularly deserted.

The walls and ceilings are bare, without any color or pattern, and without any trace of life. Such an environment makes people feel lonely and helpless, as if they have been forgotten by the world.

Yuying silently withdrew her gaze and carefully helped him sit on the bed.

"Have you always lived here?"

Sha Feiran nodded gently: "It's a temporary place to stay. It's safe here."

"..."

He looked up at Yuying silently. His voice was not loud, but it sounded very clear, as if he was speaking in her ear.

"I'm sorry for taking up your time today...If you have anything else, don't bother with me."

He forced a smile and said, "I can do it myself..."

"Well--!!!"

Before he could finish, he groaned again, his thick black eyebrows slightly frowned, and he held his forehead with trembling hands.

Yuying watched his actions with a frown on her face and a worried look on her face. She sighed deeply, as if she had endless troubles and worries in her heart.

As she sighed, she shook her head gently, as if she wanted to get rid of these troubles, but she seemed powerless. Then, she reached out her hand, casually took off her coat that was soaked by the rain, and threw it aside.

"Don't be so arrogant."

"Tell me, what else do you need me to do?"

"..."

Sha Feiran was silent for a moment, then shook his head vigorously. He murmured in a hoarse voice, "The bathtub...fill the bathtub with water..."

"It has to be cold... the sooner the better..."

"..."

Yuying frowned and looked at him thoughtfully, and could only agree: "Okay."

Seeing him struggling in pain, Yuying immediately turned around and went to the bathroom.

I turned on the water valve of the bathtub and couldn't help but speculate.

His symptoms do not indicate any external injuries or illness.

He looked like he was trying hard to stay awake, but it seemed more like... he was poisoned by contraband?

If her guess was correct...

His heart was beating faster, his blood was swelling, and his adrenaline was surging.

That's why cold water is necessary to inhibit blood flow and relieve pain.

But if this is the case, soaking in cold water is far from enough!

He filled the bathtub with water and dragged Sha Feiran into it.

But at this time he was already dazed, with his eyes slightly open and a little dazed, and he was obviously not conscious.

Yuying patted his face hard, her tone becoming anxious, "Hey, did you eat something before?"

"Tell me the truth! Otherwise you will die!"

Sha Feiran frowned and uttered a few words with difficulty: "Met-Mo... the latest model... in order to gain their trust..."

"I can't help it...I can't help it..."

"..."

"Nonsense! You are simply throwing your life away!"
