Moonlight falls into my arms

Neither of them expected that the video's popularity, which they thought would gradually fade away, would actually continue to rise.

This even seriously affected Jiang Yuci's work at the hospital, as many people came to see him because of his reputation.

Ruan Li is fine staying at home all day, but the hospital is a public place, and they can't prevent people from going in.

Once inside, it's hard to tell whether you're there to see a doctor or just there to join the crowd.

Ruan Li saw the message Tan Yue had sent her on her phone.

Dr. Jiang has been surrounded, and more than a dozen security guards from the hospital came to maintain order today.

Ruan Li frowned as she looked at the video Tan Yue had sent her.

She found the reporter's Weibo account and contact information online.

I sent him a private message.

Hello, this is Ruan Li. We have seen the video you posted online. You uploaded photos without our permission, which is now seriously affecting my boyfriend's work. We hope you will delete it.

Ruan Li clicked send, wondering if the other party had seen it.

But I didn't get a reply for a long time.

During this time, Ruan Li clicked on the reporter's previous works and read on.

I also found many reports about him online.

One of them was from a long time ago, and the video was quite blurry when Ruan Li clicked on it.

The report was about a residential building on fire.

As Ruan Li watched the video, the young reporter's face was still very youthful, and the residential building behind him was an old-fashioned one, only six stories high.

Ruan Li fixed his gaze on the residential buildings behind the reporter, who was separated by a road, so the photos from behind weren't very clear.

Ruan Li, however, saw herself behind him.

That was indeed her. Jiang Yuci had just told her about the past, and she had just recalled some things, such as Jiang Yuci saying that the red dress she wore that day was very eye-catching even at night.

And she was wearing a red dress in the video.

Ruan Li stood under the burning residential building, looked up for a while, and didn't go in.

Ruan Li couldn't remember what she was thinking back then.

Immediately afterward, a white van slowly drove past behind the reporter.

Ruan Li stared at the video, watching herself being blocked by the white van.

But her eyes caught sight of a black car speeding past on the other side, a little faster than the white van.

Then the black car disappeared, and the white van drove away.

It seemed as if some fragmented memories were about to surface in Ruan Li's mind.

She saw her own reflection again.

This time, however, she wasn't facing the burning apartment building and looking up at it.

Instead, he stared at the van that had just driven by.

In the video, part of the rear of the van was still visible in the frame, meaning the van was still parked there, and Ruan Li was looking at that van.

The reporter finished the report quickly.

The scene changed.

Ruan Li can no longer see herself.

She pressed her temple.

I felt a little dizzy; it just so happened that she appeared in this reporter's video.

If Jiang Yuci hadn't told her that he saw himself as a child wearing a red dress that day, she probably wouldn't have recognized herself in the reporter's footage.

Ruan Li stood up, almost losing her balance, and swayed slightly.

She closed her eyes, and the world went dark. Then the man's terrifying eyes reappeared.

This time, however, the person staring at her wasn't Jiang Yuci, but her.

Ruan Li's breathing suddenly became rapid. She opened her eyes, shivered, and her legs went weak, causing her to sit on the ground.

She picked up her phone, intending to call Jiang Yuci.

I saw the message that the reporter sent me.

I'm sorry, Ms. Ruan, the video has spread too widely. Even if I delete it now, I'm afraid it won't stop netizens from spreading it.

Ruan Li was a little angry when she saw his reply.

She rejected him from the start, yet he secretly took photos of the two of them and uploaded them online, and now he still has this nonchalant and self-righteous attitude.

-Then I will issue a statement complaining that you violated your privacy rights. We refused your request, so why did you still take photos and post them online without permission?

-I only took a picture of your back. If you want to sue me, you should sue the people who posted your photos in the comments first.

This whole thing started because of you.

Ruan Li clicked send, only to find that her message could not be sent.

"..."

Ruan Li glanced at the time.

It was time for Jiang Yu to leave work.

Ruan Li changed her clothes and put on light makeup.

I made plans with Jiang Yuci to have dinner at a newly opened Chinese restaurant today.

Since they had already made reservations, Ruan Li planned to go downstairs and take a taxi there, so Jiang Yuci could go directly to the restaurant.

There's no need to come back to pick her up.

Ruan Li sent a message to Jiang Yuci.

He said he would take a taxi there.

Jiang Yuci replied with an "okay" after a while.

Ruan Li understood that he was probably still busy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been slow to reply to my messages; I was a little worried that he might not be able to come and have dinner with me.

She called a taxi on her phone as she went downstairs.

......

"Dr. Jiang, a patient has just been transferred from Peking Union Medical College Hospital and we need you to take a look at him."

Jiang Yuci stood in ward 23 checking on the patients, while a nurse stood at the door holding an IV drip bottle.

"Okay, I understand. It'll be ready soon. Which ward are you in?"

After Jiang Yu finished here, he followed the nurse over.

The nurse stayed by Jiang Yuci's side and sent a voice message when she had a spare moment.

"I might be getting off work a little later today, so don't wait up for me to eat."

Jiang Yuci remembered something and glanced at the time.

He sent a message to Ruan Li.

- It might be a little late, you eat first.

-I'm not hungry. I just went downstairs and bought a skewer of grilled chicken wings. I'll wait for you.

Jiang Yu replied with an "okay" and put away his phone.

By the time I finished, it was already more than an hour past the time I was supposed to leave work.

Jiang Yuci took out his phone and sent a message to Ruan Li.

- I'm off work now, heading to the subway station.

Jiang Yuci drove here today, but it wasn't as fast as taking the subway.

He wanted to see Ruan Li as soon as possible.

There was no reply from Ruan Li, and Jiang Yuci frowned slightly.

I glanced at the time; maybe Ruan Li had fallen asleep from waiting too long.

She's been working very hard these past few days to finish her manuscript.

Jiang Yu turned off her phone and put it back in her pocket.

I went to the subway station.

According to the address the two had agreed upon yesterday.

Jiang Yuci entered the restaurant. The two had booked a window seat on the second floor, where they could see the road below.

Jiang Yuci frowned slightly when she saw the empty dining table.

Ask the waiter next to you:

Has no one been here yet?

The waiters here are assigned to each area; this waiter is specifically responsible for serving the window seats in Section B on the second floor.

She nodded and answered with certainty:

"You are the first guest to arrive."

Jiang Yuci frowned even more deeply and looked around outside.

This rules out the possibility that Ruan Li placed it in the wrong position.

He messaged Ruan Li an hour ago, and Ruan Li had already set off on her way.

They also mentioned eating roasted chicken wings.

She should have been here a long time ago. If she had other things to do, she should have sent me a message.

Jiang Yuci opened her phone and realized she hadn't received a reply to the message she sent to Ruan Li before getting on the subway.

Jiang Yu made a phone call to Ruan Li.

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

A vague unease began to creep into my heart.
