On the second day of the festival, the excitement continued unabated, with various competitions in full swing.

Many tourists actively participated in it, and we were no exception. We all chose our favorite projects and signed up.

Yuan Lai was too busy to handle everything, so she simply picked the volleyball closest to her.

Ren He appeared behind her like a ghost, "Does it look good?"

"It's great." Winning or losing in this kind of game is not important; what matters is the lively atmosphere.

Ren He gently placed his left hand on Yuan Lai's shoulder and said calmly, "Song Qiyuan wants to see you."

Hearing this, Yuan Lai appeared remarkably calm, but his heart was already beating fast.

What did Song Qiyuan want to see her for?

Could it be that she had offended him by speaking too hastily before, so he was taking the opportunity to retaliate? However, Yuan Lai felt that she had not said anything too extreme. Song Qiyuan would not argue with a recent graduate like her, right?

Since the other party specifically asked to see her, if she didn't go, wouldn't it seem that she was guilty? This way, Song Qiyuan would be able to control them more easily in the future.

No, I absolutely cannot give up the initiative! Yuan Lai secretly told himself in his heart.

She calmed herself down and said casually, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

When she arrived at the meeting place, Yuan Lai couldn't help but be a little surprised, because this location was completely beyond her expectations.

She originally thought that Song Qiyuan would choose a more formal occasion, such as an office or a conference room, but she didn't expect that he would choose to talk to her in the ward.

Yuan Lai pushed open the door and saw Fu Yunqing still unconscious on the hospital bed.

Meng Meiyi and Song Qiyuan were sitting beside the bed, their outlines a little blurry under the light.

Especially Meng Meiyi, as soon as she saw Yuan Lai, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face, as if she had met an old friend after a long separation.

Using her to solve his biggest worry, he still had the nerve to smile. Yuan Lai deliberately ignored Meng Xiuyi's invitation and walked to the stool opposite Song Qiyuan and sat down.

Song Qiyuan looked at Yuan Lai and asked, "Where is the thing I gave you?"

Yuan Lai played dumb, "What is that?"

Song Qiyuan glanced at the person next to him, Meng Meiyi raised her hand and pointed lightly, and the object with half a drop of water fell steadily into her palm.

Yuan Lai was filled with regret. How could the key be with her? She had clearly hidden the box in the cabinet.

Thinking about the person who had been staying in her room before coming, it must have been put into her pocket by Ren He when she wasn't paying attention.

Aren’t you afraid of such an important thing?

Meng Meiyi carefully observed the changes on the key, then shook his head at Song Qiyuan, as if to tell him that the key had not changed at all.

Song Qiyuan's reaction was calm, as if he had expected this outcome. He didn't show any disappointment, but instead began to care about their food, clothing, housing, and transportation during the filming of the variety show.

Yuan Lai answered one by one, thinking he was very calm, but all his nervous little movements were seen by the two men.

Meng Meiyi returned the key to Yuan Lai and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

Do you believe this yourself?

……

After seeing Yuan Lai off, Ren He sat alone in the last row of the gymnasium. The passion of the audience around him formed a sharp contrast with his laziness.

Wu Jiahe finally shook off the man following her and entered the gymnasium through the back door.

"Why are you here? Where is Yuan Lai?" Wu Jiahe walked quickly to Ren He, exuding a strong scent of perfume.

Ren He felt uncomfortable because of the smoke. He frowned and turned his head away with disgust. "Stay away from me."

Wu Jiahe said with a smile, "I picked the flavor you like." As he said that, he actually sat on Ren He's lap in front of everyone.

Ren He put one hand on the back of the chair and said, "Get out of the way."

Wu Jiahe didn't care. Not only did she not get up, but she went even further and laid on Ren He's chest, her voice a little coquettish, "I won't. You haven't answered my question yet. Where is Yuan Lai?"

"She went to see Song Qiyuan."

Hearing this, Wu Jiahe's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a spark of hope had ignited, "Then can I go find An An?"

Ren He stared into Wu Jiahe's eyes.

This woman had once nearly gone to Hades due to a serious illness. If Yuan Lai hadn't ventured with him into the dreamland to retrieve her lost soul, she would probably have been gone long ago.

Unexpectedly, he was also tricked by this woman. She was not a good person after all, as she could think of such a sinister method as letting Zi Ling die in her place.

Thinking of this, Ren He couldn't help but feel deeply wary of Wu Jiahe.

"Do you know where An An is?" Ren He asked.

Wu Jiahe answered confidently, "Of course I know."

Looking at Wu Jiahe's confident expression, Ren He began to have deep doubts about his identity as a world spirit for the first time.

"That's good to know. I'll go with you." Ren He raised the corners of his mouth and readily agreed to Wu Jiahe.

The two of them left their seats and bumped into Hong Bao who came in at the same time.

Because Wu Jiahe's steps were too fast and his movements were too large, the hat on Hongbao's head was suddenly knocked away.

Hongbao quickly bent down to pick up his hat. When he stood up, the two people he bumped into had already walked away quickly.

"Ren He, when I'm better, I'll definitely make you feel comfortable. You can also be comfortable, but you have to wait until I get the Li Dan."

The woman's voice floated into Hongbao's ears. Hongbao's heart moved, and his eyes followed the two figures that were getting farther and farther away, with his brows slightly furrowed.

"Ren He? An An? Li Dan?" Hong Bao murmured these names in a low voice, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

While thinking about the connection between these names, he walked towards the center of the seat.

Hong Bao handed the drinks to Li Hao and Li Gengyun and sat down on a nearby chair. However, his thoughts were still lingering on the words he had just heard. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.

"There are so many people named An An in the world, but the one with Li Dan inside him..." Hong Bao muttered to himself, his heartbeat involuntarily quickening a few paces, because the person he was thinking of was not only named An An, but also had Li Dan inside him.

More importantly, the two people who bumped into him just now had appeared at the back door many times, but each time they just lingered at the door, as if they were cautious.

The red envelope bounced off the seat, "I have to go back."

Li Hao was obviously startled by Hong Bao's behavior. He quickly asked, "Where are you going back to?"

Hong Bao didn't pause at all. He hurried out and replied, "Go back to find An An."

Li Gengyun saw this and quickly reached out to grab Hong Bao, wanting to know what was going on. However, Hong Bao, like a frightened beast, shook off Li Gengyun's hand and continued to run out of the venue.

He had only one thought in his mind, and that was to find An An immediately. Yuan Lai was not there, so he had to protect An An and not let her get hurt.

Li Hao and Li Gengyun exchanged a glance, each seeing the seriousness of the situation. They realized something must be an emergency, so without hesitation, they followed Hong Bao and rushed out of the gym together.

Director Yang saw Li Hao approaching and hurried forward, saying anxiously, "Li Hao, you're finally here! This kid insisted on driving back by himself, but he doesn't even have a driver's license. What should I do?"

Li Gengyun consoled him, "Director Yang, don't worry. Li Hao and I can just take him back. When the other brothers ask, just say we have something to take care of."

After that, Li Gengyun quickly walked to the driver's seat and said, "Get down, I'll drive."

Hongbao quickly got into the back seat.

The car sped all the way, heading non-stop towards Liujie Town.

Inside the car, Hongbao stared at the minute hand as it turned around and around, becoming more and more anxious.

He began to regret that if he had listened to Yuan Lai earlier and followed Kan Xia to learn, he would have been able to fly by now and would not be so helpless.

Li Hao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head from time to time and looked at the red envelopes in the back seat with concern.

"Hongbao, what's wrong with you? You look so anxious, are you in trouble?"

Hong Bao bit his lip, his voice trembling slightly, "Don't ask, I have to get back as soon as possible anyway!"

Hearing this, Li Hao could probably guess about 30% of what was going on. He comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll get there as soon as possible."

Hong Bao was not reassured by this, "Can you go faster?"

Li Gengyun glanced at the dashboard and said, "It's already at its highest point."

The car sped along the road like a low-flying bird.

Li Hao clutched his seatbelt tightly, feeling terrified. He couldn't help but remind Li Gengyun, "Watch the road! There's a bend ahead!"

Li Gengyun's attention was completely focused on the road ahead, and he casually replied, "I know."

Seeing this, Li Hao reached out and rolled down all the windows to let the wind in to relieve the nausea caused by motion sickness.
