It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

Late at night, in the hotel's double room.

"Manager Jiang, who sleeps better, me or your girlfriend?"

The woman put her slender white arms around the man's neck and asked the question with a sweet smile.

The look in Jiang Ciyang's eyes darkened, and he didn't answer.

The woman had no energy to continue asking questions. She clung tightly to the man above her with both hands, and was completely immersed in it physically and mentally.

After a long time, she opened her eyes inadvertently, and a scream suddenly broke out of her throat.

"what--"

The woman grabbed the quilt in embarrassment, trying to cover herself.

Jiang Ciyang, who was deeply immersed in lust, frowned and turned back, his eyes without glasses fixed for two seconds.

When he saw who it was, his face turned pale instantly.

There was a fair and bright beauty standing at the door. She was wearing a silk shirt, loose trousers and white sneakers. Her long hair was tied up low. With a height of 170 cm, she looked extremely capable and refreshing.

Xie Xingran held up his cell phone, recording everything in front of him with an expressionless face.

Jiang Ciyang hurriedly pulled the quilt over himself, "Ah, Ah Ran? Let me explain, it's not what you see."

The woman on the bed also knew that she was a mistress. She hid behind the man, trembling and not daring to say a word.

But Xie Xingran just put down his phone calmly without getting hysterical.

A mocking look appeared on his face: "Is this what you call working overtime at the company? It's quite tiring, right?"

After experiencing this sudden stimulation, there was no lust in Jiang Ci Yang's eyes. The fine beads of sweat had not yet dried on his forehead, and he lay stiffly on the bed in embarrassment.

"Aran, it's not what you see. I, I..."

I asked several times, but couldn't make out what was going on.

Xie Xingran felt cold all over and his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the phone.

But she still maintained her composure and dignity.

The urge to vomit in his throat was almost unsuppressible, and Xie Xingran could not stay there any longer.

"Jiang Ciyang, let's break up." Her voice was dry, but every word she spoke was full of determination.

After saying that, he turned around, avoided the mess on the floor and walked out of the room, ignoring the shouting behind him.

After leaving the hotel, Xie Xingran got into the taxi he had taken.

Sitting in the back seat, she tightly gripped the phone in her hand, her eyes drooping empty, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

The driver seemed to be in a hurry and asked hurriedly, "Beautiful lady, is there anyone else who wants to get on?"

Xie Xingran came back to his senses and glanced at the hotel entrance, but there was no movement there.

“…No more. Let’s go.”

It was late at night, but the streets of City A were still bustling with lights and traffic.

The evening breeze blew in through the half-open car window, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Jingle Bell--"

Looking at the familiar name on the screen, Xie Xingran hung up without thinking.

But the phone kept ringing, and she had to pick it up impatiently, just to get things clear.

As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Ciyang couldn't wait to defend himself:

"Aran, don't be impulsive. Let's not break up, okay? It's not that I want to betray you.

I was really careless, I accidentally got drugged and that's why I did this. Please forgive me this time, I promise there won't be a next time."

The weaker these explanations were, the more disappointed Xie Xingran felt at the moment.

She closed her eyes and said disappointedly: "Jiang Ciyang, you still want to lie to me."

Jiang Ciyang's voice was pale and without any momentum: "No, A'ran, I didn't lie to you..."

"How do you think I found that hotel? Do you really think I went to the hotel to catch you cheating and falsely accuse you without checking?

What's with all that talk about being drugged? Are you still a man if you put the blame on a woman?

Jiang Ciyang was incredulous and questioned her, "You're investigating me? You really don't trust me?"

Xie Xingran was so angry that he almost laughed, but after laughing he felt completely exhausted.

She calmed down and didn't want to say anything more. "That's it. I have nothing more to say to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ciyang seemed to be unable to suppress his years of forbearance any longer. He laughed at himself and said:

"Xie Xingran, do you know why I changed? Because you changed first! You became cold and selfish! After we reunited, I was the one chasing you. You even refused to let me sleep with you even though we were together. I don't know what you were holding on to.

Now that you've seen me cheating, you're able to calmly take photos as evidence, not at all hurt. To be honest, from the beginning of our relationship, I haven't seen any signs of love from you, not even liking you!

Xie Xingran didn't think he did anything wrong in recording the video.

For such a disgusting thing, of course she had to preserve the evidence rationally.

Otherwise, if they really fall out in the future and he retaliates, she will have a way to deal with it.

Between adults, apart from the love and hate, real interests and leverage can better control people's hearts, right?

But Xie Xingran was completely unprepared for the other accusations.

An indescribable sadness surged in her heart, almost drowning her.

"Is that how you think of me?"

"Yes! That's what I thought. Also, you keep everything to yourself and never tell me when you encounter difficulties.

I don't think we're in love at all. Men like delicate women, but you, Xie Xingran, are too strong!"

Xie Xingran was silent for a long time.

At one point, she even felt that the man opposite her was two different people from the boy in her memory.

It's too fragmented.

Looking out the car window at the city outside, the roadside scenery passed by quickly in front of my eyes.

I can't see anything clearly and I can't grasp anything.

"There's nothing more to say, Jiang Ciyang, let's part ways amicably. Don't even think about pestering me or taking revenge on me, or I wouldn't mind selling the video just now."

This was the last bit of dignity she left for the boy in her memory.

Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Xie Xingran decisively hung up the phone and blocked it.

She closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.

After a while, two tears quietly slid down from the corners of her eyes and disappeared into her hair at the temples.

……

"Astronomical forecasts indicate that the Lyrid meteor shower will reach its peak in number in the early morning of April 4nd. Observations of this meteor shower will begin on the evening of the 22st..."

The news suddenly rang out in the taxi.

Xie Xingran opened his eyes and looked at the night sky outside the car window.

Maybe it was because the nausea he felt before hadn't subsided yet, or because he was carsick, but after a while, Xie Xingran felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

She lowered the window another half inch and said, "Master, can you drive slower? I feel dizzy."

It seemed like the driver had been driving very fast since the car started. I wasn't paying attention because I was on the phone just now, and only noticed it now that I'm feeling dizzy.

Hearing this, the driver did not slow down, but instead explained to her awkwardly:

"I'm sorry, beautiful, I have an emergency at home. I have to go back as soon as I finish this order for you."

Xie Xingran pursed his lips, sighed silently for a long time, and said:

"Since there's an emergency at home, please drop me off in front. I'll pay you the price."

The driver smiled and said, "Thank you, beautiful, but your home is almost here."

So, Xie Xingran said nothing more. He thought that the urgent family matter that his master mentioned was not that urgent.

But since they were all working people, she was understanding.

The car was speeding up, and Xie Xingran was getting more and more dizzy.

She closed her eyes and dozed off, thinking that if she could hold on for a few more minutes, she would be able to get off the bus.

The next second, something unexpected happened!

The driver turned the steering wheel sharply, and the wheels made a harsh sound on the ground, but he still couldn't avoid it and collided with the body of another car on the opposite side.

Suddenly, Xie Xingran's body tilted and his head hit the car window hard.

The car she was riding in even crashed through the railing and fell into the river below the bridge...

In the darkness, another car swayed on the edge of the bridge for a while, then lost its balance and fell into the water.

Lu Ciye's car is very expensive and naturally very versatile. It immediately activates the protection device after detecting danger.

In addition to avoiding the head-on collision, he only suffered a minor injury on his forehead and a slight concussion.

Lu Ci also woke up and felt blood on his hand. He shook his head indifferently and checked his surroundings.

The car window was broken and the car body was sinking in the water. The faster I swam out, the better.

Holding his breath, Lu Ci opened the car door and plunged into the icy river. Fortunately, it was not far from the shore, so he quickly swam upstream.

Because he saw a man in front of him swimming towards the shore, when he glanced at another car sinking nearby, he didn't pay any attention and continued swimming upstream.

When I surfaced and was about to go ashore, I suddenly heard the man on the shore calling 110.

The trembling voice trembled: "What should I do? What should I do? There was a car accident. I, there was a customer in my car. She, she seems to be unconscious..."

Lu Ci also frowned, hesitated for a few moments, then turned around and dived back into the water, swimming towards the vehicle that had the accident.

Seeing this, the driver said happily, "Yes, someone went to rescue her! Ah? Yes, on Binjiang Avenue."

Xie Xingran was already unconscious at this time, and the water pouring into the car had already submerged her head.

The back door couldn't be opened, so Lu Ci could only hit the window with his elbows.

Movement in the water was hampered, and after much difficulty, he broke the window and opened the car door. He pulled the person out and swam upwards. Not long after, Lu Ciye felt a sudden sharp pain on his forehead.

The stinging pain made his head feel heavy and his strength gradually drained away.

Finally, the big hand that was holding Xie Xingran's arm lost its strength due to exhaustion, and the person stopped moving.

The surface of the river gradually returned to tranquility. A man and a woman were floating underwater, both unconscious, not far away and not close.

The fingertips of the two touched at a certain moment.

Like the tentacles of fate, just a touch and you’ll be in a whole new world.

at the same time,

Several meteors streaked across the night sky, burning with white light, drawing graceful arcs across the sky.

Soon it lit up, and then fell...
