Su Maiqi got up and washed her face, feeling that her strength had been restored a lot.

Standing at the bedroom window, she saw the silent forest outside, a quiet mountain forest covered with white snow.

The moonlight tonight shines brightly, its pure white glow reflecting off the snow, making it almost seem like nighttime.

Sumaiqi felt a mysterious force calling to her, and she wanted to go for a walk in the woods.

This was a heavily guarded villa area, inaccessible to ordinary people, and devoid of dangerous large animals, so she decided to give herself a break.

I put on thermal underwear, snow boots, and a down jacket that reached my ankles, and tiptoed out the door.

Aunt Zhang was already asleep; she didn't want to disturb anyone.

Pushing open the door and stepping into the yard, Su Maiqi felt the icy air rush towards her and couldn't help but sniffle softly.

At the same time, I felt a refreshing coolness. My drowsy mind seemed to be suddenly awakened by the cold, a refreshing and invigorating sensation.

It felt like I was suddenly back in the real world.

She quietly went out and walked towards the mountains and forests. The thick snow, untouched by human feet, crunched underfoot.

The temperature was below zero. The snow that hadn't melted, and the ice that hadn't frozen into solid blocks, were piled together like tiny ice pellets. They crumbled at the slightest step.

Su Maiqi felt a surge of excitement, as if she had returned to her childhood, a happy and curious little girl. In a flash, she recalled scenes from her childhood.

When it snowed, Dad would take his two daughters to a secluded forest. They would run through the woods, and when they weren't looking, Dad would quietly shake the trees and shout, "It's snowing! It's snowing!" as the snowflakes fell.

She and her sister ran away laughing.

Once, Sumaiqi deliberately lay down on the ground, burying her entire face and body in the snow. She got up and shouted happily, "Look, look, there's me here!"

Her father quickly ran over and wiped the snow off her face, afraid she would get frostbite.

She had almost never thought about these things; since her mother left, the three women had rarely talked about him.

Su Maiqi will not recall these things.

But today, amidst this blanket of white snow, it seems those memories have been awakened, so vivid, as if they happened just yesterday.

She felt a cool sensation on her face, and realized that tears had started flowing down her cheeks.

For the first time, she felt as if her father had never left.

In the material world, he has long since disappeared, but his love has always been with me. Even my talent for design and my keen intuition are inherited from my father.

Her yearning for freedom was also her parents' yearning.

For the first time, she deeply felt that she was their child and that their love would never disappear.

She suddenly wondered if she could have a better, longer-lived father and a more stable life, would she choose to be reborn?

She gently shook her head. No, if she could choose again, she wouldn't be the one born.

She suddenly understood her mother's words: every choice made in the present moment is the best, but life also requires taking responsibility.

Despite her turbulent and difficult life, she is still grateful to have parents.

It's Su Yunfei.

It's Su Yunge.

How could a mother regret giving birth to her child?

All her pain and doubt stemmed from her guilt towards her mother, her love for her mother, and her understanding of her mother.

Because I love her deeply, I want her to be happy and to live the life she wants.

And isn't the mother the same? What she wants is not her daughter's guilt, but her daughter's happiness.

Su Maiqi suddenly understood that sentence: "The greatest certainty in life is change, the impermanence of life."

I could understand its meaning before, but only after truly experiencing it can I truly understand it from the bottom of my heart.

As she walked, she felt a sudden sense of relief wash over her.

The feeling of being congested is gone, and fresh air can finally flow freely and comfortably.

It's so cold on a winter night.

But Sumaiqi loved the cold today; she couldn't help but hunch her shoulders and tuck her hands into her pockets. Snowflakes fell softly from the trees, landing on her face.

In the silent night, amidst the boundless white expanse, she felt no fear, as if she could merge with the forest and the world itself.

It was a profound calm.

But a second later, she shuddered. A pair of green eyes were staring intently at her from the front.

Su Maiqi never expected that there would be wolves in these mountains.

His blood seemed to freeze instantly, and he stood there, unable to move.

Su Maiqi looked away, not daring to meet the wolf's gaze. Of course, she knew she couldn't run; how could she outrun a wolf? Once the standoff was broken, she feared she wouldn't survive five minutes.

She stopped, afraid to move, even deliberately softening her breathing. She wished she could become a tree, without breath or heartbeat.

They were ignored by the wolves.

But how could that be? The wolf had clearly spotted her long ago. It was just that it hadn't had any hunting experience in a long time, let alone any experience of eating people, so it was also observing and hesitating.

Su Maiqi quietly observed her surroundings; the nearest tree was only two or three steps away.

If the wolf loses patience and pounces, she can immediately climb up the tree.

Fortunately, she was a boy when she was young and learned to climb trees.

Before the wolf makes a move, the best strategy is to remain still, not to disturb or provoke it.

No, no, if I wait until the wolf makes its move first, it might be too late to climb the tree. Wolves are incredibly fast hunters; at this distance, by the time Su Maqi reacts and climbs the tree, it will be too late.

The only chance of winning is to strike first.

Rush over as fast as you can and climb up the tree. By the time the wolf reacts and charges, you'll already be at a safe height.

If all goes well, you can even break off a tree branch to use as a weapon to stop the wolf from climbing up.

This is the only viable option. If she can hold out in the tree until dawn, she can save her life.

But in this cold weather, I wonder if I'll freeze to death, faint, and lose my fighting ability first.

She felt a pang of regret, wishing she could kill herself. Why hadn't she taken her phone with her when she left the house?

But there's no use in regretting it now; just do what you can in the present moment.

Once she made up her mind, she didn't hesitate and rushed to the nearest tree, climbing it quickly. Sure enough, just as she touched the lowest branch, the wolf charged towards her.

She quickly broke off a branch, gripped it tightly in her hand, and firmly stepped onto the branch, looking down at the wolves.

The wolf that rushed over tried to jump up and grab the man, but it couldn't reach him at all, and the tree trunk was very slippery, so it was easy for it to slide down.

Then the wolf began to growl softly and circle the tree.
