When Yu Sheng opened her eyes again, everything was pitch black, and she had no idea where she was.

She gasped for breath, her whole body aching. Her foot seemed twisted and she couldn't move it; any movement caused her to break out in a cold sweat.

She sat there, panting heavily, trying to recall what had happened.

She remembered seeing Sheng Ning's message after finishing her phone call with Yu Jing.

Before I could even see what she posted, someone shoved me hard from behind...

She leaned forward and fell down the hillside!

That happened so fast, she didn't even see who pushed her!

Yu Sheng unconsciously thought about Qiao Moya, but didn't delve into it.

It was daylight when she fell, but now it's pitch black, which means it's been quite some time. If she doesn't find a way to save herself, she'll have to spend the night here!

She might freeze to death here!

Yu Sheng started groping for her phone, but couldn't find it!

She clearly remembered that when she fell, she instinctively clutched her phone tightly in her hand, so the phone must be nearby.

By now, her eyes had adjusted to the surrounding light and it didn't seem so dark anymore, perhaps because the moon had come out. She squinted in the bright moonlight as she searched for her phone.

After searching for a while, she finally spotted something reflective under a dead tree branch.

She excitedly tried to rush over and clutched it tightly in her hand, but the large movement aggravated her twisted ankle, causing her to cry out in pain.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, crawled over, grabbed the phone with trembling hands, and pressed the power button!

The lit screen illuminated her pale, wounded face and the surrounding darkness...

She breathed a sigh of relief... Thank goodness, the phone wasn't broken...

After unlocking, she dialed Gu Ye's number.

But they found they couldn't make the call!

Her expression, which had softened, instantly turned serious again.

After trying to make several calls without success, she realized that her phone had no signal!

This discovery plunged her nascent hope into darkness once more...

Her nose, already red from the cold, suddenly stung, and the tears she had just stopped flowing again!

She closed her eyes tightly and gripped her phone in despair!

She remained motionless in that position for a while before opening her eyes, wiping away her tears, gritting her teeth, and forcing herself to stand up by holding onto the tree. The whole process was so painful that she bit her lip until it bled!

She couldn't stay here and not move; if she didn't move, she would only die. She had to find a place with a signal to call for help!

She struggled forward, holding onto a tree for support, while holding up her phone to search for a signal.

It took her half an hour to walk just over ten meters.

Her hands were so frozen they were red and stiff that she couldn't even hold onto her phone anymore.

But still no signal was found!

Her phone battery was slowly draining, her physical strength was slowly waning, and her resolve was slowly crumbling...

Gradually, she began to get anxious!

Just then, a faint signal appeared.

Yu Sheng immediately perked up and seized the opportunity to dial Gu Ye's number.

The moment the beep sounded, her heart leaped into her throat.

...

Inside the hot spring e-sports room.

Gu Ye was in front of his computer, racking up five kills in a row. The image of swords flashing on the screen was reflected in his bloodshot eyes.

At the crucial moment, the phone on the table lit up.

Caller ID: Sheng Sheng...

He didn't look directly at it, but he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.

He didn't have the time to answer, nor did he want the constantly lit screen to distract him, so he simply placed it face down on the desktop.

Gu dismissed Jiang Jiang, no longer in the mood for a massage, and went to the e-sports room, wanting to relax by playing a few games.

Upon entering, I saw a group of people gathered around a computer, looking at something.

Curious, he walked over and squeezed into the crowd, where he saw everyone watching a woman playing a game.

The woman was extremely skilled, with a professional demeanor that was exhilarating to watch.

Gu Ye was immediately attracted.

The woman ended the game with an absolute advantage.

Many onlookers then approached to invite him or ask for his WeChat ID.

But he was rejected by all the women.

Gu Ye was also itching to try.

The woman turned around unintentionally, and he saw that she was wearing a hat and a mask, her face completely covered, as if she was afraid of being recognized.

As Gu was wondering who she was, the woman looked at him and exclaimed, "President Gu?"

Gu Ye frowned: "You are...?"

Seeing that the crowd around her had dispersed, the woman lowered her voice and said, "It's me, Jomoya!"

She pulled down her mask to show Gu Ye her face, then quickly put it back on.

Gu didn't expect to run into Qiao Moya here, and he was even more surprised that she was so good at the game that he wanted to play a game with her.

But after realizing that she might have feelings for him, he dismissed the idea.

Yu Sheng is already upset because of him, and if she finds out that he plays games with her, she will definitely be unhappy!

Gu Ye responded indifferently, turned to leave, and had just taken a step when he heard Qiao Moya ask, "Want to play a game?"

Gu Ye felt a sudden itch in his heart and acted impulsively.

I agree!

Qiao Moya is good at providing cover, and Gu also likes to charge forward, so the two can work together perfectly.

Although it was our first time working together, we had a great rapport!

Playing games is like playing mahjong. Once you start a game and you get into a hot streak, one game is never enough.

So, the two of them have been playing together ever since?

Qiao Moya glanced at Gu Ye's phone, which was lying face down on the table, her micro-expression revealing a hint of smugness.

...

The foot of the mountain shrouded in darkness.
