Five years ago, Lan You became a vegetable due to a car accident, and Mo Junyao stayed by her side all this time. This deep affection was widely known in their social circle.
Five years later...
"Second Young Master, you...you should come back soon. The Young Madam has been acting strangely these past few days. I just called her but no one answered. I suspect she's...she's...been possessed."
"What?" Gu Chen stood up from his chair, his eyes full of worry.
He was in the middle of a meeting when he heard this and walked out without hesitation. An executive asked, "Mr. Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Chen didn't have time to answer him. He left in big strides, holding the phone in his hand, leaving behind so many executives, talking and discussing the matter.
"Go in and take a look right away. I'll be back soon."
He hung up the phone and drove to the basement garage as fast as he could. He stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like a wild horse, leaving all the other cars behind.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and dialed Lin Xin's number with the other. Lin Xin had been muting the phone for a quiet creative environment, but at this moment she finally came to her senses and heard Xiaoxue's call.
She stood up and opened the door, completely unaware that the phone screen on the table behind her was flashing wildly, lighting up for a moment, then going dark for a few seconds, then lighting up again, over and over again.
"Young Madam, are you okay?" Xiaoxue was startled by the sound of the door suddenly opening. When she reacted, her nervous eyes swept over her body.
"No, sorry Xiaoxue, I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't hear your voice. Is it time for lunch?" She raised her hand to check the time on her wrist. She forgot the time when she was so worried.
Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah, that's right, let's eat."
"Okay." Lin Xin hurried downstairs and started to eat. Xiaoxue wanted to say that the second young master was coming back, but Lin Xin ate very quickly and she never found a suitable opportunity to say it.
In just a few minutes, Lin Xin was full. "Xiaoxue, thank you for your hard work."
Xiaoxue saw her anxiously wiping her mouth with a tissue and asked in confusion, "Madam, is there something urgent going on? Are you eating so fast?"
"It's nothing urgent. I'm just a little stuck on the plot and want to spend more time thinking about it. I've been thinking about it all morning and still can't figure it out. I'm so worried." Lin Xin blurted out with a worried look on her face.
So that's how it is.
Seeing her hurriedly going upstairs, Xiaoxue suddenly couldn't help but shout, "Young Madam, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
Lin Xin said gently, "Xiaoxue, I treat you as my sister, so just tell me what you want to say."
Xiaoxue was becoming increasingly moved and concerned about her condition, so she began to speak. "Actually, Madam, I read online that a plot like this gets stuck for so long, and your brain must be exhausted. Do you want to take a proper rest? Relax your body, your brain won't be so tense, and you might figure it out in no time."
Lin Xin stood there motionless, her eyes slightly drooping, a hint of contemplation between her brows.
Xiaoxue clasped her fingers together nervously, her face full of visible nervousness. She said anxiously, "Young Madam, I heard others say so too. I know whether it is right or not."
"Xiaoxue, thank you. I also think I should take a break. I'll go for a walk in the garden." Lin Xin gave her a gentle smile.
He walked out suddenly.
Looking at her back, Xiaoxue showed a simple smile.
Lin Xin looked at the flowers outside. It was summer, and many roses, gardenias, white jasmines, and jasmines were in bloom. The fragrance was overwhelming, especially the jasmine. Although the petals were small, they had a unique flavor when viewed up close.
She couldn't help but want to take out her cell phone to take a selfie, but then she realized she didn't bring her cell phone with her. She smiled and decided to take a selfie next time.
A little further away, there was a swing, surrounded by vines with small stamens on it. She couldn't help but sit on it, swinging slowly, feeling the fresh air and the fragrance at the tip of her nose.
It seemed like she hadn't savored the beauty of nature for a long time.
It turns out to be so beautiful.
She couldn't help but close her eyes, rocking higher and higher, feeling the gentle breeze brushing against her face, as if she was lying on a piece of cotton, soft and comfortable, she had never felt so comfortable before.
It was as if all the limbs were slowly stretching out.
Gu Chen hurried over, car keys still in his hand, rushed into the villa, his eyes fixed on the upstairs, and was about to rush up.
"Second Young Master, you're back?" Xiaoxue suddenly spoke.
Gu Chen hurriedly stopped and ran towards her. He looked at her with a dark expression of worry and asked nervously, "How is Lin Xin?"
Xue'er suddenly became panicked. "Young Madam...she's fine. She just got stuck in the plot, so she didn't hear me."
Gu Chen suddenly felt relieved, but the heavy stone in his heart still did not fall completely.
"Is she upstairs?" he asked bluntly.
"The garden, the young lady is in the garden."
Gu Chen turned around and walked out of the villa and into the garden, his brows and eyes showing anxiety, but he could see this beautiful scene from a distance.
She was surrounded by purple flowers, her hair fluttering gently, a few strands flying in front of her face. Her eyes were closed, and the most beautiful thing was the bright smile at the corner of her mouth.
Gu Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes following her face closely, never moving away.
There seemed to be stars in his eyes, full of light.
He couldn't help but walk behind her and gently rocked the swing for her. Lin Xin was immersed in the comfort and didn't realize there was someone around her at first.
Gu Chen did not make any noise to disturb her, but just swung the swing for her silently, his lowered gaze filled with love and pity that he usually did not dare to show.
Suddenly, Lin Xin opened her eyes, with a hint of surprise between her brows. She seemed to have figured out how to solve this problem.
She stopped shaking, but the swing did not stop. She subconsciously looked at the vines on the side and saw a man's broad hand.
She suddenly became nervous, stood up quickly, and looked at Gu Chen in shock, who had stood behind him without her noticing when.
"Xiaochen?" There was a hint of surprise in her words.
Gu Chen quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes, withdrew his hand, and put one hand in his trouser pocket.
"When did you come?" Lin Xin asked curiously.
"I will always be here." There was still a bit of dazed look in Gu Chen's eyes, and some words came out of his mouth.
Lin Xin noticed that there was something ambiguous in the words and lowered her head, looking bewildered and pretending not to understand. "What do you mean? By the way, Xiaochen, have you had lunch yet?"
Gu Chen noticed her resistance, his eyes dimmed slightly, and his voice was a little heavy, "No."
As soon as he heard Xiaoxue's words, he didn't even hold the meeting and ran over without stopping.
