There was a loud bang, and lightning struck down in the gloomy sky again. The surrounding area seemed to be shaking. The rain curtain blocked her sight, making her unable to recover for a moment.

She looked at the ruins not far away, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her hands lowered by her sides slowly clenched.

A large amount of rainwater flowed down between her fingers, and the moist rainwater mixed with blood dripped into the puddles at her feet, making little ripples.

She stood there, not moving for a long time and forgetting to move, standing still like a sculpture.

All this happened so fast that Cheng Suiran was at a loss for words. She stared blankly at the abandoned Japanese building in front of her.

After a long time, she let out a breath.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Her hair and cheeks were all soaked and stuck to her skin. Her body couldn't help shivering due to the cold. She bit her lip, tried to calm herself down, and walked towards the ruins.

Go.

She wasn't sure whether the person in the car was Li Qizhi, but she didn't dare to gamble now.

Even if there was danger waiting for her ahead, she would have to verify it herself.

Because it might be Li Qizhi, she couldn't afford to gamble and didn't dare to gamble.

Rain and fog filled the air. Cheng Suiran stepped on the water-stained muddy ground and cautiously approached the black car.

The front body of the black car has been completely crushed, and the windshield has long been shattered. Standing in the distance, it is almost impossible to recognize what it originally looked like.

The closer she walked, the more obvious the worry in her heart became, until she completely recognized the black car.

It's Li Qizhi's car.

Realizing this, she became completely panicked, her pupils dilated slightly, and she ran forward quickly——

When she opened the car door, she saw Li Qizhi sitting in the cab. His right leg was injured and dripping with blood. His clothes were stained with mud. His handsome and delicate face was full of fatigue and pain.

"Pray for knowledge?"

Cheng Suiran whispered his name.

Hearing her voice, Li Qizhi slowly opened his eyes, looking at her pale and haggard face, a trace of guilt and self-blame flashed through his eyes.

"I'm sorry." He spoke in a hoarse voice, full of apologies: "I'm late."

Cheng Suiran looked at his injured right leg, his eyes were sore, and tears came out of his eyes: "I'm not sorry, if it weren't for me...you..."

She was choked and speechless.

His leg was injured because of her.

Li Qizhi touched her cheek comfortingly and said softly: "Don't cry."

At the same time as he finished speaking, there was a slight sound coming from the garbage area outside the car.

Cheng Suiran was just about to turn around and check, but Li Qizhi grabbed him from the waist and held half of his body in his arms: "Don't move, just wait."

His tone was light, but it carried an irresistible tone.

Cheng Suiran understood what he meant. They didn't understand the terrain here, and chasing the murderer now would be very detrimental to their situation.

So she just nestled quietly in his arms and stopped making any sound.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go now. I called the police on the way. The police should be here soon."

After that, he opened the car door and got out of the car. As soon as he took one leg out, his body swayed and he almost fell over. Cheng Suiran had quick eyesight and hands and hurriedly supported his waist.

"Can you stand still?" Cheng Suiran asked nervously.

Li Qizhi shook his head, with a stern look on his face, and replied: "I'm fine."

After that, he pulled out his wrist and indicated that he could do it.

Cheng Suiran followed him uneasily, his arms subconsciously protecting him just in case he fell again.

The two came to Cheng Suiran's car. As soon as she sat in the driver's seat and was about to fasten her seat belt, she was suddenly brought into a familiar embrace again.

It was raining lightly outside the car, and it was warm and humid inside.

She felt the familiar smell of cologne lingering on the tip of her nose, mixed with the smell of blood.

Li Qizhi hugged her, holding her tightly in his arms with both hands, and pressed his thin lips into a straight line.

"Besides the arm, is there any other injury?"

His chin rested on her forehead, his breath tickling her face.

"No more..." Cheng Suiran put his arms around his lean and strong waist, lay in his arms, and muttered to himself: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault today..."

"I don't blame you, I didn't protect you well."

His gentle and hoarse voice came to her ears.

Cheng Suiran's heart felt hot, tears welled up again and fell down hot.

"Stop crying." He held her face and kissed her tears gently. His low voice was comforting and gentle: "Be good, don't cry."

Cheng Suiran sniffed, nodded, didn't say anything more, and just lay quietly in his arms.

"Be obedient and let me hug you." He whispered in her ear.

Cheng Suiran was wrapped in his warm chest, her heart skipped two beats suddenly, and she stiffened up, not daring to move.

Li Qizhi hugged her, gradually closed his arms, and held her tightly in his arms. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

After a long time, his low voice sounded again: "Of course, I'm very scared today. I'm afraid... If I come one second later, I will cause irreparable pain."

Cheng Suiran's body was slightly stiff, and she could clearly feel a dampness coming from her neck.

He cried.

He really cried.

This was the first time she had seen Li Qizhi cry. Every time she saw him in the past, he always had a warm smile on his face. Even if he frowned occasionally, he would just sigh lightly, not cry, let alone shed tears.

Cheng Suiran looked at the heavy rain pouring under the dark night with complicated emotions, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

She hugged his thin waist tightly and murmured in a low voice: "I'm sorry, this will never happen again..."

Raindrops pattered on the car window.

This time, he didn't respond, but held her tightly in his arms, forming a protective posture.

Cheng Suiran pursed his lips and raised his head to look at him: "How are you? Can you still hold on? Let's go to the hospital first?"

Li Qizhi still didn't respond, but held her slender waist tightly with both hands and hugged her to him, as if he wanted to absorb more warmth.

"Pray for knowledge?" When he didn't get a response, Cheng Suiran asked again: "Shall we go to the hospital first?"

He pursed his thin lips and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

Even though she said that, Cheng Suiran still felt his body trembling, and she could even vaguely feel the muffled sound coming from his chest.

His legs must be in severe pain.

Cheng Suiran's heart felt hot, tears welled up again and fell down hot.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qizhi slowly let go of her.

He let go of his arms and stared at her with lowered eyes, his eyes unclear.

Cheng Suiran raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and raised his head to meet his gaze.

His eyes were deep and dark, as if containing a storm. When their eyes met, sparks collided.

After a long time, Li Qizhi reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, raising the corners of his mouth into a slight smile.

His smile was extremely warm, like the winter sun shining through layers of dark clouds and shining into people's hearts, dispelling the gloom and fog.

"I'm really fine." Li Qizhi said warmly, "Don't worry too much. We'll wait until you get checked out at the hospital, okay?"

Cheng Suiran looked at him blankly.

His warm voice was like a clear spring in spring, flowing through her cold heart.
