Cry louder, I can't hear you.

"Poetry Rain?"

Li Ruoyan's sudden increase in volume attracted Yun Qiao's attention. She turned her head and met Shen Shiyu's gaze, who was standing outside the door.

Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she saw Shen Shiyu.

It felt like secretly dating your best friend's boyfriend behind her back.

"W-Why did you suddenly come here?"

Li Ruoyan subconsciously turned around and glanced at Yun Qiao, hoping that she wouldn't misunderstand that she and Shen Shiyu were still "connected".

"I was just passing by when I remembered I left something here with you, so I came to get it."

Shen Shiyu answered very calmly, and even when she saw Yun Qiao in the room, although there was no surprise in her eyes, her tone feigned surprise:

"Yunqiao, what are you doing here?"

"Miss Yun did me a great favor today, so I'll treat her to dinner," Li Ruoyan explained first.

Shen Shiyu looked at Yun Qiao: "Oh, I see. It's about to rain. Shall we walk together later?"

Yun Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Shen Shiyu with suspicion.

Are they really that close now?

He was so eager to leave her behind on the island last time, but this time he's so proactive in asking her if she wants to come along?

Yun Qiao increasingly realized that she truly didn't understand these two people three years later.

Shen Shiyu has not only changed her appearance, but also her demeanor has become more composed, no longer showing the timidity she once did.

Li Ruoyan is the same; she's insincere with people, speaks without batting an eye, and lies without batting an eye.

Is it because three years have passed and people grow up?

Why did she suddenly feel like she'd been left behind by everyone...?

Everyone else is moving forward, but she remains in the same place, remembering those memories that everyone else has forgotten.

"Yunqiao?"

Receiving no response, Shen Shiyu called out again.

Yun Qiao snapped out of her daze, composed herself with her chaotic thoughts, and nodded perfunctorily, "Okay."

Shen Shiyu's car was parked outside the residential area. She followed Yun Qiao down to the underground garage and got into Yun Qiao's car to return to the surface.

Before getting off the bus, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Be careful of Shen Suwei."

That phrase again?

Yun Qiao was still stunned, but Shen Shiyu, as if afraid of being discovered by someone, quickly slipped out of the car.

Not long after she left, the rain, which had been brewing for an hour, finally started to fall heavily.

The rain was heavier than Yunqiao had imagined. After driving for ten minutes, Yunqiao could hardly move an inch. She had no choice but to find a place to park on the side of the road and wait for the rain to subside before continuing.

But today she probably didn't check the almanac before going out, because the rain has been falling for an hour and hasn't stopped, and it even seems to be getting heavier.

Li Ruoyan lived in a very remote area. Half an hour had passed since she parked her car, and not a single car had passed by.

It was almost nine o'clock, and Yun Qiao was too afraid to spend the night alone. If she encountered robbers who broke in through the window, she would be no match for them.

She checked the navigation on her phone and found that there were no hotels or guesthouses within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

The closest one to her is Li Ruoyan's neighborhood.

But asking her to go back is definitely not an option.

If Shen Suwei finds out that she is staying at Li Ruoyan's place, Li Ruoyan will be in danger.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, her phone suddenly beeped with a WeChat message notification. She picked it up and saw it was from Li Ruoyan.

I was worried that you might be driving and it would disturb you, so I could only send you a message.

[The rain is so heavy, are you driving alright? Where are you? Do you need any help?]

Please reply to this message.

Yun Qiao thought for a moment before typing her reply:

I'm almost home, everything's fine.

Li Ruoyan replied almost instantly:

I'm glad you're alright.

Yun Qiao put away her phone, her face bitter.

Something terrible has happened! Something really terrible has happened!

But she couldn't ask Li Ruoyan for help...

I just hope I don't run into any weird people tonight...

No sooner had Yun Qiao finished thinking this than she saw a car pass by hers, but instead of leaving, it suddenly turned around and stopped right in front of her, blocking her way.

Someone came down with an umbrella.

There were three unfamiliar men.

They knocked tentatively on the window, but Yunqiao couldn't hear what they were saying because of the heavy rain.

But judging from their expressions, they didn't seem like good people.

Knocking on the car window might just be a way of checking what's going on inside.

Sure enough, seeing no reaction from inside the car, someone went around to the front and looked inside through the windshield.

Holding a flashlight, he could clearly see that Yun Qiao was the only person inside the car.

His friendly expression vanished instantly.

He shouted something to the two men in the side window. Yun Qiao realized something was wrong and quickly started the car and reversed.

With their path blocked, Yun Qiao had no choice but to retreat.

But to my surprise, these people were so cunning.

They threw nails around her car when they got out.

As soon as Yunqiao started the car, a nail punctured the tire, causing it to suddenly deflate. Combined with the slippery road, the car crashed into a tree trunk on the side of the road.

She's fine, but her car is completely totaled and can't be moved.

The three men outside the car laughed arrogantly and triumphantly when they saw this. They quickly ran over and pounded on her car window.

Yun Qiao was both flustered and anxious, gripping the seatbelt tightly.

Calling the police at this point is too late; it seems I'll just have to waste more points...

She quickly summoned the points redemption panel, her fingers trembling as she scrolled through the page. She had just found a function in the store that could make someone lose consciousness for ten minutes when suddenly, a car sped towards her from directly in front of her, heading straight for the three people who were smashing her car window.

The road was slippery, and he was driving very fast. He didn't stop when he saw people, which frightened the three people so much that they shouted and backed away.

However, because the road surface was too slippery, they all fell to the ground.

But for some reason, the car didn't stop; it actually ran over one of the men's legs...

"Aaaaaah!"

The man's scream pierced through the rain and reached Yunqiao's car.

Yun Qiao's eyes widened in surprise.

The other two men were also terrified, but at the same time, they were relieved that they weren't the ones who got run over.

Before they could even feel relieved, the car suddenly turned around and drove towards them again.

"No! No! Don't!"

"ah--"

The piercing screams did nothing to stop the car from running over a man's hand and then another man's foot at a very bizarre angle.

Within a minute, the ground outside the car was covered in blood.

Normally, the blood wouldn't have spread so much, but because of the rain, the entire road surface turned red with the rainwater.

Yun Qiao had never seen such a scene before, and everyone who saw it was dumbfounded.

She was startled awake when someone knocked on her window again, and turned to look out.

Just as she was about to redeem her points, fearing that this "serial killer" would harm her, she turned her head and met a pair of familiar eyes filled with worry, and suddenly froze.

...Shen Suwei?
