Xu tried everything, but she didn't respond. Not only that, her phone was also switched off...
He panicked completely. What on earth happened today?
Xu Neng was really worried, so he decided to go to the unfinished building that very night.
Hu Tianhao has been busy eliminating traitors all day, and given that he has just recovered from a serious injury, he will most likely go to bed early tonight, making it less likely for him to be discovered when he goes out at night.
Under Xiao Gao's cover, Xu Neng secretly drove a sled out of the base...
The blizzard finally stopped tonight, but the temperature was already below minus fifty degrees Celsius. Xu Neng drove at high speed all the way, and the cold wind was blowing fiercely, making his hands almost frozen.
But the thought of seeing Wang Feifei soon filled him with warmth...
When Xu Neng arrived at the unfinished building, it was already late at night. Standing downstairs, he dialed the phone again, but it was still switched off...
"Never mind, we'll just have to go up and take a look."
Following the route in his memory, Xu Neng successfully entered Wang Feifei's safe house through the "snow passage" on the balcony.
But when he took the elevator to the 28th floor living area, he couldn't find Wang Feifei.
Where did she go? Did she go to another floor where supplies are stockpiled?
Xu Neng looked around. There was half a steak and half a glass of milk on the table, and a small amount of kitchen waste in the kitchen, which meant that she had eaten dinner and was safe.
Xu was relieved and sat in the living room to wait for her.
Suddenly, the sound of running water came from the bathroom...
Is she taking a shower?
Realizing this, Xu Neng felt uneasy. He suppressed his inner turmoil and stood up.
If I suddenly appeared in front of Wang Feifei, would it scare her?
He felt he was in a bind, and just as he was agonizing over the decision, the bathroom door opened...
A scent of shower gel filled the air, causing Xu Neng, who was standing in the restaurant, to stop. His Adam's apple bobbed nervously as he stared at the doorway.
Wang Feifei came out, holding a towel in one hand and fiddling with her damp hair in the other. Her face was flushed from the heat, and she tilted her head to dry her hair.
Below her collarbone, a few strands of wet hair fell down to her cleavage, where a bath towel was casually wrapped, revealing her rounded skin, still dotted with tiny water droplets that shimmered under the light...
Xu felt a surge of hot blood in his lower abdomen and dared not look any further, so he quickly turned his back.
Afraid that his sudden appearance would frighten her, he deliberately coughed twice:
"Cough cough..."
Wang Feifei was startled!
Following the sound, she saw the unusually tall figure from behind and recognized Xu Neng in just one second.
He actually rushed over overnight!
Wang Feifei was at a loss for what to do. Xu Neng broke the silence first. He didn't dare turn around and kept his back to Wang Feifei, his voice a little low:
"What happened today? Why didn't you answer my calls?"
Wang Feifei watched Xu Neng's retreating figure, feeling incredibly bitter. Xiao Gao had investigated her thoroughly, and Xu Neng knew everything about her. How was she supposed to face him?
She dug her fingers into her palm, the stinging pain calming her down, and said in a cold voice:
"Don't come here again."
Xu could sense that she was still angry. Was it because he hadn't shown up when they encountered danger today?
He hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I should have come to help you today, but I was being watched, so I sent Xiao Gao instead..."
Before Xu Neng could finish speaking, Wang Feifei's eyes reddened, and she said excitedly:
Why are you investigating me?!
Xu Neng tensed up instantly, his back stiffening, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I didn't mean to. I couldn't find you anywhere, but I missed you so much, so I asked Xiao Gao to investigate secretly. I'm sorry..."
Xu Neng's explanation made Wang Feifei feel even more wronged, and she couldn't help but cry:
"You shouldn't have investigated...you shouldn't have investigated...Go away, I don't want to see you again!"
Hearing this, Xu Neng finally guessed the reason. That incident had hurt her too much, and to talk about it now would be like tearing open the scar, tearing the flesh apart, bleeding profusely, and then rubbing salt into it.
He sensed Wang Feifei's heartache and felt heartache along with her...
He clutched his chest, his back hunched, and murmured:
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Wang Feifei watched his retreating figure. The tall, handsome Xu Neng, with his back hunched, dared not turn around…
Tears streamed down her face as she choked out the question:
Am I... very dirty?
These words pierced Xu Neng's heart like a sharp blade. He could no longer bear it and finally turned and ran towards Wang Feifei.
He held her tightly, as if trying to meld her into his body.
As if holding the most fragile treasure in his arms, Xu Neng said with red eyes:
"No...no...you're not! I only regret that I couldn't protect you. Please don't say that, okay?"
Wang Feifei could no longer hold back and buried her face in Xu Neng's arms, sobbing. She pounded on Xu Neng's chest with all her might, each thud echoing softly...
Xu Neng hugged her tighter and tighter...
Xu Neng's hands trembled as he stroked Wang Feifei's hair, then gently held her head close to his heart, and said in a trembling voice:
"Feifei, I love you..."
Wang Feifei looked up at Xu Neng in disbelief, only able to see his perfect jawline, not his expression.
All she could hear was Xu Neng's heart pounding like a drum, and her heart was pounding wildly too...
“Xu Neng…”
Hearing the whooshing sound, Xu slowly lowered his head and met her eyes. Wherever his gaze fell, it was filled with burning love...
He spoke in a low, hoarse voice, with utmost gentleness:
"You who are intelligent, you who are helpless, you who are brave... no matter what kind of you you are... I love you..."
"You're not allowed to say things like that again, okay?"
