Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door

Chapter 331 - 330: Why Are You Here?

It wasn’t easy to come here, and it didn’t seem right to leave immediately. Shi Yang stayed at the hospital until past three in the afternoon, only to find it was snowing heavily when he stepped out.Concerned that the highway would be closed, Shi Yang hurriedly got in his car to leave, but before he could drive out of the parking lot, he received a call from the local police station, saying there was news about Third Brother.

Third Brother had called home this morning, and based on that call, the police found out he had sought refuge with relatives in Shandong. They have now contacted the local police station for assistance in capturing him.

Learning this news, Shi Yang thanked them profusely before making a special trip to the mall to offer the officers working on the case each a reasonably priced New Year’s gift.

When he left the police station, the young officer who had been attending to him looked at the weather and said, "With snow like this, the highway is probably closed. You’d better leave tomorrow."

Shi Yang looked at the sky. It was indeed late, so he nodded, bade farewell to the officer, and drove directly to a local chain hotel to check in.

In the hotel parking lot, Shi Yang unbuckled his seatbelt and habitually checked his phone. There was a message from Zhao Meimei: "Brother, since you’re in town, do you have a place to stay tonight?"

Warmth filled Shi Yang’s heart as he replied, "I’m staying at the hotel, the chain we have back home—it’s pretty nice."

After sending the message, there was no reply.

Shi Yang thought for a moment and sent another message: "I’ll give you a call later, but first I’m going to get a room at the hotel."

After booking a room, Shi Yang took the elevator up, entered the room, and first called his parents to let them know the snow was too heavy and he’d wait for it to stop before returning the next day. No one answered the home phone, so he dialed his dad’s mobile. This time it connected; his parents were out having dinner with friends. Relieved, Shi Yang exchanged a few words then hung up.o the town at noon, Zhao Meimei quickly left a note for her parents, took some money, headed to the bus station, and took a bus straight to the city. From there, she transferred to another bus heading directly to the town.

The snow began as soon as the bus got on the highway, and by the time they arrived, twilight had descended completely.

Before getting off, Zhao Meimei had sent a message to Shi Yang, asking where he planned to stay for the night, but he hadn’t responded.

As she got off the bus, other drivers were grumbling about the heavy snow, saying the highway would likely close soon and they needed to head back quickly.

Hearing this left Zhao Meimei in a daze; she hadn’t considered the possibility that Shi Yang might drive back to the city that day. If so, her trip would be in vain.

While she anxiously stood outside the bus station, debating whether to call Shi Yang, his message arrived, saying he was checking into a local chain hotel.

Upon receiving this, Zhao Meimei rushed to hail a taxi, and because the distance from the bus station to the hotel was further than from the police station, when Zhao Meimei was calling at the hotel door, Shi Yang had just finished his shower.

Shi Yang, watching Zhao Meimei standing outside the door, laden with snow, was utterly shocked.

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

"You... you..."

Shi Yang stood there dumbfounded, unable to react until Zhao Meimei rushed in and wrapped her arms around his waist, stepping into the room.

Shi Yang hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly reached to lock the door. He looked down at Zhao Meimei cuddled against him, murmuring, "Why did you come back?"

Zhao Meimei, her face flushed red and numb from the cold, was almost heated by Shi Yang’s breath. She only had time to murmur, "Brother,"

Before being roughly pulled into his arms, pressed firmly against the wall.
