The street scene is still prosperous.

The LED lights of roadside shops and high above kept flashing and flowing into the car window.

Fei Mi turned on the hypnosis radio early in the morning. The soft voice accompanied by the sound of running vehicles had made Wen Can feel a little sleepy in the past, but today, for some reason, the more he listened, the more awake he became.

I was clearly mentally exhausted - similar to the tiredness I feel after eating a lot of disgusting food and then vomiting it out.

But he still couldn't sleep.

It was like there was a sharp hook hooking his soul, preventing him from lowering his head and being depressed for even a second.

Fortunately, he has been living with this kind of pain for many years, so he can put on VR calmly and skillfully - the psychologist said that his method is not effective. For others, it is called fighting fire with fire, but for him it is repeated destruction.

But Wen Can felt that he could find peace in those images - even if it was a painful peace - it still made him feel at ease.

So he doesn't really listen to the doctor.

He just leaned back in the chair and seemed to have fallen asleep until his cell phone vibrated in his palm.

When he was "startled" to wake up, Wen Can realized that he had been holding the phone tightly in his palm.

He didn't even have time to take off the VR device before his fingers instinctively swiped to answer the call.

So the girl's panting was transmitted directly into his brain through the VR headset.

The man was still leaning on the chair, but his body paused slightly.

In front of him was still the endless road covered with ashes, and the wreckage of the sports car was still burning, but in his ears he heard the girl's brisk voice mixed with panting: "Wen Can!"

She called his name: "It's snowing, can you see it?"

It's the sound of wind and snow.

Along with the girl's rapid breathing, it was as if a crack was torn in the dark polar night, and a little clear starlight leaked in.

For the first time, Wen Can was distracted while wearing VR.

He just subconsciously answered the girl's question: "I saw it."

He really saw it.

The moment he uttered these three words, pear blossoms were floating across his field of vision like snow - and before that, he had never noticed them.

When he realized this, Wen Can almost held his breath, and his body remained motionless in the darkness.

The girl in the headphones was unaware of this.

She just smiled and asked him again: "Do you want to watch it with me?"

Without waiting for Wen Can to answer, she added: "I want to watch it with you."

Wen Can blinked and said mechanically: "Where are you playing? I'll pick you up."

"Guess?" The girl smiled and tried hard to regulate her still rapid breathing.

Wen Can's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

He didn't even know what he had guessed, but his brain was buzzing, as if a warm ocean current was constantly surging in his chest, sometimes blocking here, sometimes rushing open there, rushing around and leaving him standing there, not knowing what to do.

"Let me guess," he muttered, "you were out there having a snowball fight with Qu Wu and the others?"

"This little bit of snow shouldn't be enough to cause a fight, right?" Ye Kong said, "But you overestimate me. Do I look like someone who can play such a strenuous sport?"

"But you sound out of breath."

"Because I just ran a long way."

Ye Kong said: "It's as long as the starting point of Maple Forest Avenue to the end point."

Wen Can: ...

Maple Avenue is where the Wen family manor is located.

The girl laughed at the other end, her voice low but unable to hide her joy: "Come out quickly, I'm hiding at the gate, we agreed to do this quietly."

Wen Can: ...

The man raised his head and took a deep breath. “Find a warm place and wait for me. I’ll be there in thirty minutes—no, fifteen minutes.”

"What?" Ye Kong was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you here?"

·

After hanging up the phone, Wen Can took off his glasses with one hand: "Stop the car."

"You go back first, I'll drive."

He opened the car door and was about to jump out while chasing people away. He was so impatient that he almost didn't seem like Wen Can. However, Secretary Fei, who didn't understand what was going on, stopped him.

"Boss! There are surveillance cameras on the roadside!"

——As if I was suddenly awakened from a dream.

Wen Can froze there when he was halfway through standing up.

Secretary Fei didn't understand what was wrong with him, so he pointed out based on his professional instinct: "Also, are you sure you want to drive yourself? You'll be spotted by the electronic eyes."

Wen Can: ...

"Where are we going?" Secretary Fei said bluntly, "Fifteen minutes, right? I'll do my best - I'm good at speeding, as long as you pay the fine."

Wen Can: ...

He glanced at the surveillance cameras that were everywhere under the eaves of roadside shops, and his pounding heart finally calmed down.

He sat down again and closed the car door, then whispered, "Go back to the manor."

Fei Mi made a sharp turn and the car plunged into the traffic flow decisively and fiercely like a sharp dagger.

But after Wen Can regained his composure, he felt another extreme chill - the fear of suddenly realizing that his goal had been shaken without a sound.

Why did he act so impulsively just now?

Get off the car in the downtown area, sit in the driving seat, and try to drive all the way back to the Wen family?

At that moment he seemed to have forgotten everything, the only clear thing was the desire to see someone immediately.

I was worried that she would be cold and sick, and I wanted to see her earlier, even if it was just one second earlier.

——It’s so terrible.

The car switched roads so quickly, speeding along at such a speed that its tires seemed to be on fire.

But Wen Can sat silently in the carriage, feeling cold all over as if a layer of snow had fallen on his shoulders.

·

The car did not go directly to the Wen family, but turned halfway to a park.

Because Ye Kong called and said that he didn't want to meet at the gate of the Wen family. He had gone there because he thought Wen Can was inside. Since he was not there, they could of course choose a more comfortable place to meet.

Then Miss Ye carefully selected an unknown camphor tree park.

They agreed to meet at a certain entrance.

The first to arrive was Wen Can.

His car was parked under a huge camphor tree.

It was dark all around, and the street lights hanging overhead were dim and shaky.

There were only two people walking their dogs in the park in the snow. The faint voices and laughter seemed very far away. Apart from that, the only other person was the figure in the newsstand across the street, who was occasionally moving along with the TV series.

Wen Can sat in the car without opening the window. After the car stopped, he just sat there motionless, which made Secretary Fei, who originally wanted to say something, dare not speak.

——Wen Can thought he would remain silent like this forever.

He should keep controlling his heartbeat like this until Ye Kong arrived, until they met - he should keep himself calm.

He has always known that it is difficult to reverse what has been done, and that love is definitely not a good thing. Most importantly, he cannot let anything influence him, but...

But as time passed and the wait lengthened, his senses became blurred again and his instincts emerged uncontrollably.

Until a taxi came speeding from the deep darkness with huge lights on, and he couldn't help but be attracted by it. At the same time, in his accelerating heartbeat, he sensed half cold despair and half hot happiness.
