Chapter 137 Lost and Found, Like a Treasure
A white car stopped on the road in front of the landslide.
The woman quickly opened the door and got out of the car. The air was filled with the smell of the forest after the rain, mixed with the earthy smell of yellow mud.
She looked at the collapsed area in the distance, her brows slightly furrowed.
"This landslide happened so suddenly. Luckily we evacuated ahead of time." Han Lei got out of the car and followed her gaze, sighing, "Humans are so insignificant in the face of nature."
An Ning looked over and saw that the fire department was still carrying out rescue work. She turned around and asked, "Are there any casualties?"
"I heard two people died, two tourists, a man and a woman," Han Lei said with a sigh. "Our R&D staff left early, so there were no casualties, but all the equipment was destroyed."
An Ning knew what he was feeling lost about. The data they had worked so hard to come up with last night should have been a major breakthrough, and they were planning to report it to the company today. However, they didn't have time to take it away during the transfer, and it was all buried in the ruins.
Thinking of what happened last night, she couldn't help but frown.
After she called Lu Xiyan yesterday, the signal in the mountainous area was cut off, and her phone was lost during the transfer.
She couldn't sleep the whole night yesterday, thinking about calling Lu Xiyan to explain things clearly, but the signal was always interrupted.
Now that the rain has stopped, I don’t know if the signal has been restored.
"Mr. Han," she turned and asked, "Can I borrow your cell phone?"
"Of course." Han Lei took out his phone, took a look at it, and handed it to her. "It seems there is a signal. Tell your family that you are safe."
An Ning took the phone and found that there was indeed a signal, but the signal was a little weak, but it was enough to make a call!
She opened the dial page and pressed a number without thinking.
The moment she dialed the number, An Ning subconsciously clenched her palms.
Judging from the time, the engagement ceremony should be held soon.
She was not sure whether Lu Xiyan would answer her call.
If I answer, what should I say?
I'm already engaged, so it seems like nothing I say would be appropriate.
But she still wanted to make a call and hear his voice.
An Ning took a deep breath and said a blessing.
This is a way to put an end to what I didn’t finish saying yesterday.
The call was connected, and a long beep rang out from the phone, "Beep——"
No one answered.
An Ning held the phone tightly, and suddenly heard a sudden ringtone coming from not far away.
There were quite a few cars parked on the road at this time, but not many people, most of them were at the rescue point.
The cell phone rang suddenly and clearly, but no one picked up.
An Ning suddenly turned her head subconsciously and her eyes trembled violently.
A black luxury car was parked on the side of the road with an arrogant license plate number.
But it’s not Jinghai’s car, it’s Dianhai’s license plate.
The cell phone ringing came from the car.
A thought came to her mind, she hung up the phone, and the ringing in the car stopped.
Something suddenly exploded in my brain.
She hurried over and looked inside through the car window, but there was no one in the car.
She dialed again, and the next second, the phone thrown on the passenger seat in the car suddenly lit up and rang.
An Ning's breathing tightened as she saw a prominent "7" on the phone in the car.
It was like a heavy blow to her heart, and An Ning's heartbeat began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably.
It’s Lu Xiyan!
Lu Xiyan is here!
An Ning almost subconsciously handed the phone to Han Lei and ran towards the rescue point.
"Miss An!"
Before Han Lei could even utter "Be careful", he saw her stepping into the mud without hesitation.
......
As if guided by something, An Ning looked at the collapsed ruins, fallen trees, and the bumpy road in front of her, which was no longer a road. A voice in her heart told her - Lu Xiyan is here!
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the area where the firefighters were rescuing. A tall figure was sitting motionless on a rock nearby, as if it was grown in the soil.
Bent back, head down, covered in mud.
It was as if all his pride had been drained away, and he looked extremely miserable.
If it weren't for the perfect side profile that was so eye-catching and unforgettable to An Ning, she would almost not recognize that it was Lu Xiyan, who was always noble, cold and had a mysophobia.
Her eyes were fixed on the other person, her eyes became hot and tears welled up.
She took a few steps forward, got closer, and suddenly curled the corners of her mouth.
"Lu Xiyan!"
Hearing the sound, the figure moved and slowly raised his lowered head.
"Lu Xiyan!" An Ning shouted again.
She saw the man turn his head and look at her. His eyes, which had been deep and calm, were filled with a fleeting sense of sadness, and then he pretended to be incredulous and happy.
He stood up and looked at her uncertainly.
An Ning's tears suddenly fell, and she ran over quickly and rushed into his arms regardless of anything.
Someone hit Lu Xiyan's chest hard, and he staggered back a few steps with his weak legs. Feeling the warm and soft body in his arms, his eyes surged with heat, and something fell from his eye sockets.
He reacted and carefully wrapped his arms around her body, tightening them little by little.
It was so tight that he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
The feeling of losing and regaining exploded in every part of my body, and my heart beat so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out of my chest.
Lu Xiyan didn't say anything, but tears kept falling down.
He buried his head in An Ning's neck, holding it tightly until they were inseparable.
Being hugged so tightly, An Ning rested her chin on his broad shoulders and could hear his deafening heartbeat.
An Ning was a little breathless, but didn't want to let go.
She didn't ask why he was here, why he wasn't engaged.
She only knew that Lu Xiyan must have made a choice in his heart.
Lu Xiyan chose her.
She also wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, clasping her hands tightly.
It’s better to be tight.
Hold me tighter, and we'll never be apart again.
With tears silently streaming down her face, An Ning suddenly laughed out loud.
Even though the other person was covered in yellow mud, An Ning could smell a familiar fragrance from him, which was refreshing, pleasant and reassuring.
An Ning closed her eyes gently, crying and smiling foolishly.
The clothes were thin, and my shoulders felt hot and my neck was wet.
Lu Xiyan's hot tears and scorching breath were about to burn her skin.
To recover something lost is like finding a treasure.
That's about it.
"Lu Xiyan..."
"You're crying..."
An Ning called out softly, her voice was very light and trembling.
After a long time, Lu Xiyan slowly let her go, his cold eyes sparkling and red.
Even a few specks of mud could not conceal his delicate features.
Lu Xiyan didn't say anything, but looked at her deeply, his eyes gently and tenderly examining every part of her body.
Except for some dirt on his body and fair face, his whole body was intact.
There were people around, and An Ning felt her ears burning from his burning gaze.
But she was greedy and didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.
She raised her eyes and met Lu Xiyan's deep and sparkling eyes, with ripples in her gentle eyes.
She pursed her lips, climbed onto his broad shoulders with both hands, and stood on tiptoe to cover his soft lips.
Their lips touched each other very gently.
Lu Xiyan pecked her pink lips lightly, and a low, hoarse voice escaped from her lips, "I'm dirty."
An Ning's hands tightly grasped his shirt, "I don't mind..."
After saying that, Lu Xiyan held her shoulders with both hands and kept a distance between her and himself.
An Ning thought he didn't want to kiss her, and her eyes were filled with confusion and a bit of loss.
The next second, Lu Xiyan lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
It's like kissing a precious object.
An Ning's breathing became tight, and she closed her eyes lightly, her long eyelashes trembling.
Lu Xiyan's hot lips kissed her wet long eyelashes, like a gardenia bud wet by rain and dew, swaying with fragrance.
Then, he ran his fingers through An Ning's hair, pinched the back of her neck, and pressed against her soft lips.
The mud stained their hair and cheeks, but it also added a bold stroke of color to their intense love.
