It's the same familiar message: "The number you dialed is currently unavailable."

"I can't get through, the phone's off," he said coldly.

"Her phone must be out of battery."

Just as Lin Miaomiao finished speaking, Chen Lu's phone suddenly rang.

It was a text message from Liang Zhirou:

"Could you come pick me up at the amusement park entrance? I'll be right there."

Silly goose, why are you sending a text message?

Chen Lu muttered to himself and subconsciously replied "okay," but when he tried to call back, the phone was already switched off.

Helpless, everyone went to wait at the amusement park entrance. Lin Miaomiao glanced at their backs, then casually picked up a bunch of flowers and stuffed them into her bag.

Something is better than nothing; you never know when you might need it.

Twenty minutes later.

As dusk settled, a thick layer of dark clouds filled the sky. Occasionally, a few small birds would skim low overhead and quickly fly far away. In the distance, the Ferris wheel had already lit up its lights and was turning at a leisurely pace.

The atmosphere gradually became increasingly oppressive.

"When did Zhirou send you that text message?" Lin Miaomiao took out her phone from her pocket and gently poked Chen Lu's shoulder.

Chen Lu glanced down at his phone.

"Twenty minutes ago."

Just then, Chen Mo ran back to the group, hands on his knees, panting, and said, "I went to the clothing store, but they didn't have it. The owner said my sister-in-law came out a long time ago."

Lin Miaomiao's face grew increasingly anxious, and her lips trembled slightly. "How many round trips could we have made in this time!"

She couldn't imagine what reason Liang Zhirou could have for not coming over quickly. That silly girl wasn't her; she wouldn't stop to look at something interesting just because she saw it.

“…If all else fails, I’ll go check the surveillance footage. It’s not that much trouble anyway,” Jiang Chao suddenly said.

Chen Lu's expression was a bit complicated. He felt that this was the most worry-free way, but he also felt that it was just a temporary situation where his phone was out of battery and he couldn't contact the person. It seemed a bit strange to go and check the surveillance footage.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Chao gestured with his chin towards Liu Yan and continued, "It doesn't matter. I looked for her like this when she ran away from home. She was squatting in the corner wiping away tears. If I didn't check the security footage, I'd never find her in my entire life..."

He had barely finished speaking when Liu Yan stomped on his foot hard. "Hurry up! Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Lu nodded and said in a deep voice, "You guys go ahead. Call me anytime if you find anything. I'll wait for her here."

“We agreed on this,” he added.

As some of the others went to check the surveillance footage and others ran off to continue their search, Chen Lu found a conspicuous spot to stand and stared motionlessly at what lay before him.

He took a deep breath and didn't feel particularly nervous.

After all, that simpleton is incredibly lucky; he's always on a winning streak, whether it's drawing cards or playing chess.

Besides, although this is an amusement park, very few people dare to park nearby, so there isn't much traffic. And with so many people on the road right now, even if that silly guy faints from low blood sugar, someone will call an ambulance...

Besides...

As Chen Lu was thinking to himself, he suddenly noticed that his two hands were tangled together, and he quickly let go of them the next second.

Damn, I've caught that idiot's bad habit.

He had just given a wry smile when, in a daze, he seemed to smell the scent of soil.

Just as I was wondering, another muffled clap of thunder suddenly rang in my ears. Heavy raindrops pounded on the asphalt road, the drops falling deep and then shallowing, then falling deep again.

The road in front of me was like a spotless piece of paper, gradually being dampened by ink dots, and finally completely soaked in them.

Chen Lu stretched out his hand, and a raindrop landed right in his palm.

It's raining.
