0047 Night Rose - CTL-AY, Night.47 (Second Update) "Huang Mingyan, just answer me, do you want to pay me back? If not, please leave quickly."

Anger penetrated into the earphones and burned in Chen Shanye's ears. The wheels quickly cut through the remaining heat on the ground and the vague laughter of the people around him.

The electric car turned into the inner street, and suddenly a white light came and rushed into his eyes, like a sharp knife stabbing into his pupil, ready to cut his tense nerves at any time.

A delivery guy wearing a yellow vest was riding his bike while looking at his phone and rushing towards Chen Shanye.

Before his brain could think, his body instinctively took over. Chen Shanye suddenly turned the front of the car and passed by the oncoming electric car.

The sudden change of direction and the force caused the electric bike to crash into the sidewalk on the side of the road. Even the sudden brakes could not stop the escaped beast. Chen Shanye was thrown out by the huge inertia and fell heavily to the red brick ground.

The man's muffled groan and the sound of something colliding brought Ruan Mei back to her senses. She pressed down on her earphones and asked anxiously, "Chen Shanye? What's going on over there?"

It was only then that Huang Mingyan realized that Ruan Mei was talking on the phone with someone else. His brows, which had not frowned even when she slapped him, now wrinkled slightly, and he silently chewed the male name from Ruan Mei's mouth between his teeth.

Ruan Mei asked several times but got no response from Chen Shanye. All she could hear in the headphones was the noisy and chaotic sound of footsteps that came and went. It was as if her ears were filled with salty sea water and she couldn't hear anything.

Unconsciously, the worry in her heart replaced the anger. What flashed through Ruan Mei's mind in an instant was the sign on Chen Shanye's father's car that said "safe entry and exit".

She wanted to pray to the moon. As long as Chen Shanye was safe and sound, nothing else mattered.

"Chen Shanye! Answer me!" Ruan Mei stomped her feet anxiously, and her voice was much louder than before.

Huang Mingyan felt a tightness in his chest. Ruan Mei still had the habit of stomping her feet when she got emotional, but the target of her temper was no longer him.

After a burst of rustling and knocking, Ruan Mei finally heard Chen Shanye's voice: "Hey, my headphones just fell out."

The stone fell back onto the grass, the planet swam back into its orbit, and the kite dancing in the strong wind was tightly caught on the string.

"...You scared me to death. Did you have a car accident?" Ruan Mei turned her back to Huang Mingyan and took a few steps out of the shadow of the trees.

She looked up at the sky, and the slowly rising tide submerged the moon, which was smiling with its lips curved.

"No, I fell down by myself."

Chen Shanye pushed away the gravel embedded in his palm. The Meituan guy who almost collided with him had helped him lift the overturned electric bike and put it away. He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. The Meituan guy bowed and apologized a few times, then left in a hurry.

He crossed his legs and got into the car and restarted it: "I'm turning into the inner street, wait for me."

"Got it, Chen Shanye, I'm fine."

"Yeah, I'm fine too." He turned the handle and the car drove out.

Huang Mingyan bent down to pick up his glasses, put them on, and said to Ruan Mei's back: "Meimei, I will return the money to you. Please give me some time."

Ruan Mei let out a long sigh, not turning around. "Huang Mingyan, there's no possibility between us. You know that, right? Please don't call me by that name anymore. My bank account number hasn't changed. If you want to pay me back, just transfer the money to me. You don't have to show up in front of me anymore."

"Meimei, I..." Huang Mingyan wanted to fight for it again, but at this moment a light came on at the end of the dim street, and the dazzling light could not be ignored.

Ruan Mei took a few quick steps towards the lamp.

As the white ball of light got closer, Huang Mingyan recognized the man who had been tussling with Ruan Mei here last time. The only difference was that he was wearing a shirt and trousers last time, but this time...

Looking at the man who quickly came up to him, wearing a helmet and a reflective vest with obvious logos, the reflection from the lens covered Huang Mingyan's narrow eyes which were slightly narrowed.

Chen Shanye stopped the car with his long legs, took off his helmet and hung it on the handlebars, glanced at the man behind Ruan Mei, retracted his gaze, and looked down at the pair of eyes with water droplets swaying in them, like small pebbles soaked in moonlight by a small lake.

"Does your hand hurt?" He lifted Ruan Mei's trembling right hand that was hanging at her side, held it in his hand and spread it out, gently brushing the thin calluses on his fingertips against the rosy white skin.

The electric car was not turned off and the white light was still on.

In the light, Ruan Mei could clearly see two white, broken wounds on her wheat-colored palms. There was still some fine sand clinging to the wounds. She sniffed and her voice was mingled with soft sobs. "You're the one in pain. Blood is oozing out. Why are you riding so fast? Let's go back and apply some medicine on you."

"Yeah, okay." The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and Chen Shanye didn't let go of her hand. He asked, "Are you done talking?"

"alright……"

"Okay, then I'll say a few words to him."

"Okay...ah? What?" Her eyes suddenly widened, and Ruan Mei didn't react for a moment. Her eyes relaxed, unable to hold back tears any longer. Warm tears slid down her face. "What are you going to say to him?"

He bent his knuckles slightly to draw away the tears that were about to slide down her chin. Chen Shanye smiled but didn't answer.

When he looked up again, the smile in Chen Shanye's eyes quickly disappeared, like the rolling dark clouds in the stormy evening that instantly swallowed up the golden afterglow of the sunset.

Rain clouds filled with thunder and lightning blended into the sultry air of the summer night. The man in front of him, named Chen Shanye, was taller than him. Huang Mingyan scanned his body from top to bottom without making any expression.

When he came, he was mentally prepared to be beaten and scolded by Ruan Mei. He accepted a few slaps, but if it were this man, he might not be able to stand after being punched.

But he couldn't retreat. Even if a storm was coming, he couldn't retreat even a single step.

Different from his mentality when facing Ruan Mei, Huang Mingyan had already clenched his back teeth and curled his fingers slightly, ready to make a fist at any time.

But when he saw Chen Shanye raise his right hand for a few seconds, Huang Mingyan had the urge to raise his hand to cover his face.

"Is that car yours?"

Chen Shanye didn't throw a punch, but instead extended his index finger and pointed at the black car parked on the side of the road behind his ex-boyfriend, which occupied most of the street.

Ruan Mei was confused and looked in the direction Chen Shanye pointed. It was an old Nissan.

Huang Mingyan swallowed and nodded in agreement.

"It was a rainy day a few weeks ago, you were here, right?" The voice was low and hoarse, as if a typhoon and rainstorm were brewing.

"I've seen your car around here a few times as well."

Ruan Mei suddenly raised her head, looked at Chen Shanye's taut jaw, and asked, "Rainy day?"

Chen Shanye looked directly at Huang Mingyan with a deep gaze: "Yes, it was the night I was waiting for you here."

Was it the car rushing towards them with its headlights on and its horn honking?!

"...Huang Mingyan, have you been following me?" Suddenly a chill ran up her spine and back of her neck. Ruan Mei took a step to the side and subconsciously hid in Chen Shanye's shadow.

Huang Mingyan hadn't expected Chen Shanye to notice his car, and he was anxious to explain to Ruan Mei, "I wasn't following you, Meimei. I just... didn't dare to disturb you."

Chen Shanye took a step to the right to block his way. In fact, he didn't even straighten his back. He was like a bow that had not been stretched tight, but with a suffocating momentum. The tip of the arrow flashed with a cold light and pointed directly at the dark villain with unknown intentions.

"If you don't want to bother her, just do it cleanly. Return the money if you can, and stay away from her. Do you understand?"

Huang Mingyan was so inferior in terms of aura that he could only taunt and mock, "Who are you? Just a designated driver..."

The firecrackers in her chest ignited with a crackling sound, and blood rushed to her brain. Ruan Mei was so angry that her eyes turned red: "Huang Mingyan! Please stop disgusting me, okay?!"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I don't think you want the police to know you're here."

He took out his cell phone with one hand and tapped something, while with the other hand he reached back and grabbed the wrist of the furry kitten, then moved his fingers down and inserted them into Ruan Mei's, gathering her softness into his palm, fitting tightly without leaving a single gap.

Chen Shanye curled his lips and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were relaxed. Well, this is close enough.

He had already entered the first two digits, his left thumb barely touching the zero. The summer night breeze was scorching, but there was a hint of chill in his voice. "Or I could call the police right now and tell them there's a scammer stalking my girlfriend. What do you think?"
