On the railing of the bridge, there was an ethereal figure that looked like she would fall at any time. She was wearing a light grey dress, and her pair of beautiful calves looked dazzling under the dim light of the street lamps.
Her long black hair fluttered in the cold night wind, faintly revealing the side of her face.
This was the first time Yang Cheng saw this woman dressed like this standing in front of him, but in such a special place.
"Cai Ning?"
Yang Cheng frowned. Cai Ning didn't realize that he had stopped behind her, and she didn't realize that he was behind her. This clearly didn't make sense, but the woman in front of him was indeed Cai Ning.
Cai Ning, who was lightly on the railing, seemed to be stimulated by something. She suddenly turned around, and her gem-like eyes were filled with surprise and panic as she looked at Yang Cheng in a hurry.
As if she was too excited, Cai Ning couldn't stand steadily, and her body leaned back and fell off the bridge from the railing!
"Hey!!"
Yang Cheng was stunned again. The other party was a highly skilled member of the Group of Eight, and she actually fell in panic just because he called her!
However, Yang Cheng didn't think that Cai Ning would be in any danger. Sure enough, before Yang Cheng reached the edge of the bridge, Cai Ning had already used her extraordinary qinggong to borrow the force of the river to fly back to the bridge.
When Cai Ning landed beside Yang Cheng, her face was still in shock, and there was a slight blush on her face. She asked softly, "You … Why are you here?"
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, "I just wanted to go back from outside, and I thought I met someone who was about to jump into the river, so I wanted to save him. I didn't expect it to be you. But what happened to you just now? I didn't deliberately hide my aura, so I didn't notice you. "
Cai Ning turned around, and with her back facing Yang Cheng, she said, "Nothing, I was just thinking about something, so I didn't notice."
Yang Chen was too embarrassed to ask the girl what she was thinking about. This woman had always been quiet and mysterious. If it wasn't for the fact that she had helped him a few times, he really wouldn't talk to her, even if she was an out-and-out great beauty.
"Your Lightness Skill is pretty good. I can't fly to the bridge by touching the surface of the river." Yang Cheng couldn't think of anything else, so he said casually.
Cai Ning said softly, "You don't need lightness skills to come up and fly."
Yang Cheng smiled awkwardly. It seemed that the battle with Ares above the sea had shocked this woman quite a bit. He said, "I want to thank you about Zeng Mao. If you have time, how about I treat you to a meal?"
Cai Ning turned around and smiled faintly. "There's no time. I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow."
"Another mission?" Yang Cheng asked in confusion. He thought that Cai Ning would always be in Zhonghai, responsible for monitoring him, even if it was meaningless.
Cai Ning had a complicated look in her eyes, "You can say that … Anyway, there are some things …"
Yang Cheng saw that Cai Ning didn't seem to want to say it, so he thought it was an internal secret. He fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Just as he was considering if he should say goodbye to Cai Ning, she suddenly said, "Can you watch the stars with me for a while?"
"Huh?" Yang Cheng thought he heard it wrong.
"If you're in a hurry to go back, it's fine. I'm just saying." Cai Ning's expression didn't change at all.
"Of course, I'm just surprised that you have such a hobby." Yang Cheng shrugged and smiled.
Cai Ning turned around and held onto the railing of the bridge. She looked up at the vast sky. Although there were only a few stars, it was still quiet and beautiful.
Cai Ning's hair brushed past her delicate face, and the lines of her face were soft and gentle, looking peaceful.
"I didn't watch it before …"
Cai Ning murmured as if she was talking to herself. After that, she didn't say anything else.
Yang Cheng didn't understand what she meant. Since the girl said she wanted him to watch the stars with her, it must be because she was bored and wanted to find someone to stand with her. He looked up at the vast night sky.
It was just spring, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge. Because of the dense water vapor in the river, the night breeze on the bridge was exceptionally cold.
Cai Ning suddenly hugged herself tighter, as if she felt the cold, and her body shrank.
Yang Cheng felt her subtle movements and couldn't help but feel strange. Although the temperature was low, Cai Ning was a master of internal energy. Although she could resist the cold for a while, why did she purposely not use her internal energy to feel the coldness of the world?
Could it be that this was also considered a hobby?
Yang Cheng realized that he was full of questions about this woman.
About half an hour later, Cai Ning turned her head. Her lips were slightly pale because of the cold. She said, "I have to go back. You should go too. Thank you for tonight."
"There's nothing to thank me for. You know that I'm just an idle person. I just wanted to watch the stars with a friend. It's no big deal." Yang Cheng smiled.
"Are we friends?" Cai Ning suddenly asked, her eyes shining.
Yang Cheng nodded and smiled strangely. "You've helped me so much, and I've saved your life. Isn't that considered?"
Cai Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled. "It seems like it. Every time we meet, something happens. It's really strange."
"Isn't it the same with your sister? Although I don't know where the respected Chief Cai is now, to be honest, I'm not used to not having her around." Yang Cheng smiled.
"My sister?" Cai Ning was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were a little confused. Then she smiled and said, "It won't be long. You should be able to see her."
Yang Cheng was a little confused by Cai Ning's words, but seeing that she didn't want to explain, he was embarrassed to ask.
To be honest, ever since he returned to the country, Cai Ning and Choi Yeon were like a "warning light" beside him. Whenever he met them, it would more or less be troublesome or a headache. Now that Choi Yeon was nowhere to be found, and Cai Ning was going back to Beijing, Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh. Would life be simpler in the future?
Cai Ning's way back was actually to walk. Even if she flew back with her Qinggong, no one would notice, but she chose to walk back quietly.
Yang Chen looked at her delicate back view disappearing into the night. He didn't know why he had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he didn't think too much about it.
After smoking on the bridge, Yang Cheng sat back in the car and went home in the wee hours of the morning.
The next morning, it was supposed to be a normal day for work, but because Yang Cheng didn't have a supervisor to supervise him, he slept in until ten o 'clock.
But for some reason, Anxin just happened to call him. Why didn't she go to the company to talk to him? She just had to call him.
Right now, the Star of Yu Lei's qualifiers were in full swing in every major city. As the host of the opening ceremony, Anxin had been busy preparing for the official elimination matches. These days, she was very busy and didn't have much time to stick around with Yang Cheng.
"Hubby, save me …" On the phone, the little vixen begged softly. Just listening to it made people feel numb.
Yang Cheng was wearing a pair of boxer shorts and had just sat up on the bed. Hearing this, the physiological phenomenon that had just softened rose again …
"It's been the whole morning. What's there to save? Get to the point." Yang Cheng helplessly touched his little brother.
"The empress bullied me. I was almost scared to death by her …"
"What are you talking about?" Yang Cheng frowned. The empress was obviously talking about Lin Ruoxi. What did she mean by "scared to death"? So, he asked, "Tell me more clearly. Ruoxi isn't a monster. Why would she scare you? With that clever brain of yours, how could you be scared by Ruoxi? It's more like you bullied her. Just tell me what Ruoxi wanted you to do! "
"Sister Lin, she … she suddenly rushed into the office this morning and pulled me out. She said that she had already practiced the dolls game we played at the resort. She insisted on competing with me to see who could hit the doll first. She dragged me to the amusement park in the central park to play that game … "Anxin said gloomily.
Yang Chen was stunned. A game of smashing dolls? Thinking back, he remembered that when he accompanied Hui Lin to relax at the resort, Lin Ruoxi threw a few thousand yuan but failed to hit a doll.
At that time, Lin Ruoxi was proud and arrogant. She didn't want to lose to Anxin. So, she bought a basket of balls and went back to her room to practice smashing things.
He thought that after the disaster at Yu Lei, she had forgotten about it. It turned out that she had never forgotten about it! She even secretly practiced it and hid it from him. She wanted to compete with Anxin!
Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh. His wife was actually very stubborn about many things. She was even in a state of fanaticism! How could she be so stubborn about something like this! He didn't know whether to call her cute or terrifying.
After laughing bitterly, Yang Cheng said, "With that glib tongue of yours, Ruoxi would probably let you go if you begged and acted coquettishly."
"That's not it. Hubby, you don't know this. Sister Lin is completely immune to all 'negative statuses.' No matter what I say or do, she doesn't hear or see it. She insists on competing with me. I've already smashed more than 200 balls this morning. My hand is almost crippled. I'm hiding in the public toilet now, secretly calling you … "Anxin was about to cry.
Yang Cheng was puzzled. "Why don't you just lose to her on purpose? Don't you have any acting skills?"
This time, Anxin really cried. She said on the phone with a sobbing tone, "It's not that I'm pretending to lose or not … It's … It's Sister Lin. She smashed more than 500 balls … but she still didn't hit the doll … and … and she doesn't let me go …"
