Chapter 1318 - 255: Love Rivals Gather, a Table of Mahjong (Part 7)
Yan Song knew what he said was true, and it indeed frustrated him. Today’s events were a wake-up call, and he wouldn’t let it happen again.
"The other side abducted Yun Ya but didn’t harm her. Do you know why?" Pei Qinghan suddenly asked.
Yan Song pursed his lips.
Pei Qinghan looked at Yan Song and suddenly laughed, "By choosing to be with Yun Ya, you don’t know what storms and dangers lie ahead. If you decide to back off now, it’s not too late."
"I will never give you this opportunity, so you can forget about it. No matter what happens, whether life or death, I will never regret it."
In this man’s eyes, Pei Qinghan saw willpower as solid as Boulder, unshakable by any force.
All the unwillingness, the hesitation, and the struggles were completely released at this moment. Maybe his love wasn’t less than Yan Song’s, but he would never be Yan Song, the one Yun Ya loves.
He thought of the man who became deranged after learning of Yun Ya’s death, and the resolute man before him, clearly the same person but worlds apart.
Suddenly, he felt that even watching their happiness from afar was such a satisfying thing.
"Alright, I will help you." Those words weighed a thousand gold.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier.
It splashed against the windows, like someone’s hands knocking on your dream.
She got lost on a foreign street for the first time, it was very dark, she had walked a long way and was very tired and anxious and scared. Her usually strong heart crumbled at that moment, only wanting to cry.
So many burdens weighed on her shoulders. She studied and worked desperately, living each day as if it were her last. She was afraid time wasn’t enough, afraid of waking up back in that time lying on the hospital bed waiting to die. She feared this was all just a fleeting dream and used busyness to numb her increasingly taut nerves.
In that city, she ran around like a headless fly, trapped in a fortress, unable to find an exit or direction...
Looking at the stars filling the sky, she was so desperate that she only wanted to die immediately. At the moment she collapsed, it seemed like a voice gently floated by her ear, distant as if from another world.
"Don’t be afraid...."
When she woke again, she was in her bed at home. She treated it as a dream, gradually forgotten in the river of time.
That year, she was only eight years old.
While studying for her master’s degree, she often stayed alone in the lab, researching various human specimens, surrounded by corpses. Each deep night, walking through the empty campus’ tree-lined paths, the world was so silent you could only hear your own heartbeat.
She was a materialist, didn’t believe in ghosts or gods, yet her rebirth went against this world’s laws, and no matter how strong-willed she was, she couldn’t withstand the long loneliness.
Just a cat passing by frightened her into a scream. Remembering the soft whispers by her ear, the fierce cold wind seemed to become softer.
"Don’t be afraid...."
She turned anxiously to look all around, thinking she was hallucinating, then left holding her backpack without turning back.
She didn’t hear the sigh that came from the wind.
That year, she was thirteen.
Blood bloomed like mallow, intense and blood-soaked. She watched helplessly as the person died before her eyes, and someone whispered in her ear: "Don’t be afraid...."
A warm wooden house, lights blazing, the mountain rain approaching, and those gentle starry eyes. The cool lips parted slightly, and those two low words pulled her into sleep.
"Don’t be afraid...."
Time rewound swiftly in her mind, the world spun fiercely, leaving only an empty blankness, save for the rising and falling, deep and gentle voice that almost overran her world.
Yun Ya suddenly opened her eyes, gripping her chest, gasping for breath.
She sat up, a momentary daze in her gaze, brain gradually recovering, she looked around.
This was not any place she was familiar with.
She pulled off the blanket, got out of bed, put on shoes, opened the door, and walked out. Waiting at the door, Ning Zihuan joyfully wanted to rush over.
"Yun Ya...."
But was blocked by a woman in military uniform. The young man glared at her angrily, then turned his eyes over, looking aggrieved.
Yun Ya smiled helplessly, "Zihuan, why are you here?"
Shouldn’t he be in Capital City?
Ning Zihuan blinked his eyes with an innocent little lamb’s look, making Jiang Xiang almost nauseous, having never seen such a good actor as this man. Though, undoubtedly, even pretending, he looked pleasing to the eye.
"I missed you, so I came. Aren’t you happy to see me?"
