Just as her tears were about to fall, she quickly raised her head and looked at the distant horizon through a window in front of her.
Her tears flowed back.
She wouldn't cry.
She wouldn't cry before Ah Yan came back.
She would be strong.
An 'an had a good appetite. She ate a full bowl of rice and drank a bowl of pork ribs soup. Ever since she got pregnant, she would eat a bowl of rice for every meal. She wanted to make herself and the baby chubby and chubby.
At night, she lay on the bed to sleep.
In a daze, she heard a familiar, low and gentle voice. He was calling, "An An."
An 'an gradually opened her eyes. She was standing on a green lawn. The spring breeze was blowing and the birds were chirping.
"An 'an."
The person was still calling her.
An 'an lifted her eyes. There was a tall and muscular figure standing in front of her. It was Lu Yan.
Ah Yan.
Her Ah Yan.
Lu Yan smiled at her. He gradually opened his arms and said in a tender voice, "Come over, let me hug you."
He said, come over, let me hug you.
An 'an lifted her feet and walked towards him. She looked at his handsome face in a daze. "Ah Yan, is that you?"
Lu Yan nodded. "It's me."
"Ah Yan, you're home?"
"Mm, I'm home."
An 'an's eyes reddened. She took a step forward and directly rushed into his broad embrace.
But in the next second, Lu Yan turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
He had disappeared.
He had left.
An 'an froze on the spot. She looked around for him. The flowers were withering and the morning sun was replaced by dark clouds. Her world had darkened.
She couldn't find Ah Yan.
She couldn't find him.
An 'an woke up with a start.
An 'an had woken up, but she didn't open her eyes.
She could hear the sounds of training outside. It was five in the morning and she had woken up from her dream.
For the past two weeks, 16 days and nights, she had waited every single day. She had waited for him to be standing in front of her the moment she opened her eyes.
But she had been disappointed every single day.
She was disappointed and disappointed. This morning, she didn't dare to open her eyes. She was afraid that it would be hopeless.
The suffocating pain spread throughout her body, making it hard for her to breathe.
She stretched her trembling hand out to touch the spot beside her bed.
It was empty and cold.
No, he still didn't come back.
Her luscious lashes began to flutter and she bit down on her lower lip with her pearly white teeth until a line of blood appeared on her lips. She was overwhelmed with sorrow and large droplets of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
16 days.
She persisted for sixteen days.
On the morning of the 16th day, she collapsed.
Sixteen days felt like an eternity.
I'm sorry, Ah Yan.
She had said that she would be strong. She had said that she would not cry, but there was no one there to see it. She could not control her hot tears at all. In an instant, she was sobbing uncontrollably.
Ah Yan, where have you been?
Ah Yan, can you come back quickly?
Ah Yan, I miss your hug so much.
His heart ached so much that he might die in the next second.
An 'an stretched out her slender arms and hugged her delicate shoulders. She turned her body sideways and cried out in a small voice filled with despair.
In the bathroom, An 'an stood by the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red from crying.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Li Si's voice came from outside, "Ann."
Brother Li was here so early?
An 'an had a bad premonition. She quickly went to open the door. "Brother Li, what happened?"
"An 'an, we found a man's corpse that had been soaked in seawater in a small town."
An 'an froze.
An hour later.
The Jeep stopped outside the police station in the small town and An 'an walked into the autopsy room.
"This is the corpse that we fished out from the river this morning. He should have been dead for two weeks. Come and take a look," the police officer said.
Two weeks.
The time matched.
Li Si and Scissors looked at the corpse that was covered with a white cloth. It was tall and muscular. It really looked like him.
It really looked like him.
An 'an walked over to the corpse. The staff reached out to lift the white cloth. An' an suddenly said, "There's no need to look, he's not him."
"An 'an," Li Si said in a low voice. "We can understand how you feel, but you should at least lift it up to take a look. What if …"
"What if what?" An 'an turned her head to look at Li Si. Her pale eyes glinted coldly.
Li Si froze.
The staff quickly said, "We've already collected the corpse's DNA. You can take it back for comparison."
Li Si stretched his hand out to take it.
In the next second, An 'an reached out and slammed the file onto the ground.
"Sister-in-law!" Tears flowed out of Scissors' eyes.
Li Si's eyes were red as well.
"I'm sorry." An 'an held her forehead and apologized softly. She felt dizzy.
"An 'an, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'm not being emotional. This isn't him. If you don't believe me, you can take it back for comparison."
With that, An 'an walked away. "I'm going out for some fresh air. Don't follow me."
An 'an left the police station. She walked along the streets aimlessly. That wasn't Lu Yan. She didn't even need to look to know.
It didn't matter if Li Si and the rest didn't believe her.
At this moment, she felt her tummy bloating and it hurt a little. Her baby.
An 'an's palm-sized face was as white as a sheet of paper. Today, she wore a floral dress with a light yellow cardigan over it. She looked as gentle as water, but she wasn't in a good state, and the baby wasn't doing well either.
Her vision darkened and she was about to faint.
"Hey, young lady, are you alright?" Two middle-aged women supported An 'an in time.
An 'an steadied herself and the dizziness disappeared quickly. But she didn't dare to walk anymore. "I'm fine. Thank you."
An 'an sat on a bench at a bus stop, waiting for Li Si and the rest.
After the two middle-aged women were sure that An 'an was fine, they turned around and left. They chatted as they walked.
"I heard that your old man saved someone half a month ago."
"Yes, half a month ago, my old man went crazy. Right after the tornado passed, he actually went up the hill to pick matsutake mushrooms. That place was flooded, but do you know what my old man saw? Below him was a few feet of ocean, and there was actually a person stuck in the crevice of the rocks above. When the raging tide rushed over, that person actually didn't fall in. He was stuck!" "That's right.
"Oh my god. That person is really tough. If he had rushed into the ocean, he would have definitely died."
"That's right. That person was really lucky. He was saved and his body was full of injuries. We all thought that he wouldn't be able to survive, but he only spent half a month to get out of bed. It's really a miracle."
"Where's that person now?"
"Over there!" The middle-aged woman stretched her hand out and pointed. A bus sped past on the opposite side of the road, revealing a cold and handsome face.
Lu Yan!
The Light Boat in the Vast Sea, he was returning from afar!
