Days passed by, winter went and spring came, spring went and winter came again, and another winter came.

After leaving her family of origin, Xing Yixin has become a better and more cheerful person.

However, the only habit Xing Yixin hasn't changed is dialing that phone number that will never be answered late at night.

She would text him from time to time, just like before he left, telling him what she had done that day, what interesting things had happened...

That year, Xing Yixin experienced a lot, moved many times, and changed jobs.

Xing Dajin even sued Xing Yixin because he couldn't find her, on the grounds that she didn't support her parents.

The final result is that Xing Yixin only needs to pay a few hundred yuan in alimony each month and share the medical expenses in the future.

Xing Yixin couldn't be happier to buy some peace and quiet for a few hundred yuan. They had raised her all these years, and Xing Yixin never thought of not taking care of them in their old age.

I just don't want to go back to that home.

Ji Ziyan was also busy throughout the year.

After returning to the organization, Ji Ziyan changed his phone number.

He was afraid that person would find Xing Yixin through her phone number and bring her danger.

Ji Ziyan worked frantically, dealing with things to numb himself and prevent himself from thinking about Xing Yixin.

He spent a whole year reorganizing the organization and sidelining that person; now it's time to close the net.

"Are you crazy? Are you sure you want to go against me?" Du Lin looked at the person he had personally promoted with a sinister gaze.

From the moment Du Lin saw this kid, he knew he was a promising talent who could work for him. His eyes were filled with the same ruthlessness that Du Lin had shown in his youth.

I never imagined that I would be bitten by the wolf cub I raised myself.

Indeed, wolves and dogs are different; wolves can never be as docile as dogs.

Ji Ziyan stood calmly out the window, his hands in his coat pockets.

The room was terribly dark, with flickering light from the window illuminating Ji Ziyan's profile, making it impossible for Du Lin to discern his thoughts.

Ji Ziyan, now back in darkness, subconsciously tries to complete a morbid cure.

He restrained himself from thinking about Xing Yixin, and from thinking about the simple happiness of that period of time.

He, who once drank heavily and resisted happiness, is now slowly discovering the warmth that remains in this darkness, and he no longer resists warmth.

Ji Ziyan is also completing his own redemption; now he is taking the final step in doing so.

"Um."

Ji Ziyan's single word expressed his determination.

"I've handed the evidence over to the police, and they'll be here soon." Ji Ziyan took out his phone from his pocket, looking tenderly at the string of numbers on the screen—it was her phone number.

Ji Ziyan stared at this number for a year. Every time he wanted to dial her number and hear her voice, he would look at it.

It's been a year already... It feels like a hundred years have passed. Her voice even seems a little blurry now.

But soon... soon I'll be able to see her...

"I'm going in. Do you think you can escape?" Du Lin sneered.

He doesn't care about anything anymore; at least he'll have someone with him when he goes in.

He'll take someone down with him even when he dies.

Ji Ziyan ignored Du Lin. He listened to the sirens outside and wondered what he should wear to see her later.

Has she already forgotten him? Is she happy? Has she gained or lost weight? Is she eating properly?

...

In fact, Ji Ziyan was not afraid of Du Lin's threats at all; he had already taken care of everything from the moment he called the police.

From the moment he joined this organization, not a single day was one he wanted to be in.

Ji Ziyan's true nature is kind and gentle, and he has not lost his nature even in this environment.

The reason I fled the organization and Du Lin was because he went against his original intentions and wanted to get involved in the black market.

In this agony, Ji Ziyan frantically tore at himself, his nature telling him that these things were not to be done.

So he chose to escape, numbing himself with alcoholism until he met Xing Yixin…

She told him to worship her, and he did. His heart was filled with her and with love.

I came back here again because of her, because I didn't want her to get hurt.

"Thank you for cooperating with our work." The police rushed in, grabbed Du Lin, and took him away. An officer walked up to Ji Ziyan and shook hands with him.

Before returning to the organization, Ji Ziyan had made thorough preparations.

He contacted the police and cooperated with them. Coincidentally, the police had been keeping an eye on Du Lin for a long time, but they had no evidence.

Therefore, when Ji Ziyan proposed cooperation, the police immediately agreed.

So throughout the year, Ji Ziyan was constantly juggling between Du Lin and the police.

Du Lin was very wary, so Ji Ziyan had to win his trust first, a process that took him more than half a year.

All his actions were approved by the police, so it was impossible for Du Lin to drag him down with him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ji Ziyan shook hands with him in return.

"Okay! Cut! That's a wrap!"

Director Zhang watched the video on the screen with satisfaction. Sure enough, handsome people look good no matter how they are filmed.

It was already past midnight when Shao Wenyan finished filming his scenes. Today, Yu Yunzhi's scenes were filmed first, and the two were filmed separately, so Shao Wenyan hadn't seen Yu Yunzhi all day.

"Wen Yan, we've edited a behind-the-scenes video, and we're planning to post it online tomorrow. Would you like to watch it first?"

Shao Wenyan took off his costume from the play and put on his own down jacket. "You can just send it to Xu Hui."

Shao Wenyan didn't have time to watch any behind-the-scenes videos; he just wanted to get back as soon as possible.

It's only a little before 11 o'clock now. If I rush back from here, I guess Yu Yunzhi won't be asleep yet.

She filmed crying scenes all day today; her eyes are probably swollen...

"Oh, by the way, I gave Yunzhi a day off tomorrow." Director Zhang guessed what was going on when he saw Shao Wenyan's flustered appearance.

She was probably eager to go back and see Yu Yunzhi. It makes sense, they've been filming for so long, and apart from holidays, they haven't been apart for a whole day while filming.

Upon hearing Director Zhang's words, Shao Wenyan was about to say that he would also take a day off tomorrow, but before he could speak, Director Zhang stopped him.

"Her eyes are swollen from filming a crying scene today, so we'll let her rest tomorrow. But you can't rest, you still have to film your solo scenes tomorrow."

Sure enough, my eyes were swollen.

Shao Wenyan's focus was entirely on Director Zhang's comment that "her eyes were swollen."

"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."

After finishing his sentence, Shao Wenyan didn't wait for Director Zhang's reply. He grabbed his things and hurried toward the car.

Director Zhang shook his head as he watched Shao Wenyan's departing figure.

Ah! It's so good to be young!

People run to see the ones they love, unlike him, who can't even run anymore.
