Wu Hao felt as if he had been hit on the head with a bat, and his entire body froze in place.
The window wasn't closed, so the night breeze blew into the room and made Xu Wennuan's words, which she continued to mutter in a low voice, drift in and out of focus.
"Lu Bancheng … Zero Degrees … Zero Degrees … Lu Bancheng … Lu Bancheng …"
After an indeterminate amount of time, the girl finally quieted down and fell into a deeper sleep.
The night breeze outside the window grew stronger, causing the curtains to rustle.
Like a statue, Wu Hao sat there stiffly for a long time. Only then did he turn his eyes slightly and pull himself back to reality.
His fingers, which had originally been about to reach the corner of her eye, could not move any further. He froze in mid-air for a while before he slowly withdrew his hand.
He turned his head and looked out the window at the dark night sky. Suddenly, the words that she had been muttering in her dream echoed in his ears again. "Lu Bancheng, Zero Degrees …"
Again, and again, and again, like an endless loop of a dream.
After a long time, Wu Hao blinked gently and looked at Xu Wennuan again.
What kind of dream did she have? Why would she call out his name like that? And why did she appear at Lu Bancheng's apartment tonight and cry so sadly? Is it because of Lu Bancheng?
Lu Bancheng loves her so much, so how could he bear to see her cry? Also, she has already sprained her ankle. Why would Lu Bancheng, who is willing to risk his life for me, send me a text asking me to pick her up instead of coming himself?
Doubts surfaced in Wu Hao's mind one after another. He sat by the bed for a long time until the sky outside the window began to brighten. Then he stood up and quietly left Xu Wennuan's apartment.
After he walked out of the building, Wu Hao did not hurry to get into his car. Instead, he stood by the roadside and lit a cigarette. Halfway through, he stubbed it out and casually tossed the butt into the trash can before he walked to his car, opened the door, and got in.
Wu Hao started the car and stared at a peach blossom tree in front of him for a while before he stepped on the accelerator and left Xu Wennuan's neighborhood.
The streets of Beijing were exceptionally empty in the early morning. Wu Hao drove quickly around the Second Ring Road twice, and when he passed the Beijing North Railway Station for the third time, he suddenly slammed on the brakes and exited the main road ahead. He made a left turn, drove forward, and then made a right turn into Lu Bancheng's neighborhood.
He parked his car downstairs, and after a while, he turned off the engine, got out of the car, and walked into the building.
It was already time for work, and many people had started taking the elevator downstairs. Wu Hao waited for a while before he stepped into the elevator and went upstairs.
He stopped in front of Lu Bancheng's apartment, and his eyes flickered slightly before he raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.
He wasn't sure if Lu Bancheng yet, but no one opened the door after the doorbell rang.
Wu Hao continued to ring, and halfway through, there, of Hao, he.
The door opened. Before Wu Hao could see Lu Bancheng, he heard Lu Bancheng's voice. "Guoguo, didn't you go to buy breakfast? Why are you back so soon? "
As Lu Bancheng spoke, the door slowly opened.
Wu Hao lifted his head and looked into the apartment, intending to reply to Lu Bancheng, "It's me," but before he could say anything, his gaze landed on Lu Bancheng's wheelchair.
Wu Hao was instantly stunned.
