"Buzz buzz buzz." The phone started vibrating wildly, and a clean white hand quickly reached out and turned it off.
Your phone screen lit up at 6 PM. You glanced at it, then looked away, silently speeding up your work.
Five minutes later, the door closed. The bright office was empty, and the office chairs were quietly rotating in circles, slowly and quietly.
You walk out of the elevator with your bag and head to the parking lot to get your car. The parking lot is dimly lit by only a few lights. It's early, so there aren't many people coming down. It's quiet except for the sound of high heels.
You have a slight headache, probably because you haven't been sleeping well these past few days. You've been having all sorts of dreams, and the content is almost the same every time. Each time, she goes to talk to Chen Peiyuan, and then Chen Peiyuan suddenly mutates halfway through, turning into a clown, then Ultraman, then a monster. The most outrageous one was when he turned into Sailor Moon, saying the line, "I will destroy you in my name." You were deeply shocked; it was so bizarre that you were speechless.
You can no longer look Chen Peiyuan in the eye. You're desperately avoiding him, hoping that things will be better if you just don't see him.
You've been hiding for a week. You're rubbing the back of your neck, looking at the road ahead. He probably realized you were avoiding him.
Thinking this, I seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark object out of the corner of my eye. I didn't pay attention and took a few more steps forward, thinking that someone was hiding there.
No! Your mind is struck by lightning, and a flash of inspiration strikes you. You recall the outline you just saw, and the more you look at it, the more it seems to resemble a person.
A faint sound suddenly came from behind you. Someone was following you. You slowed your pace and looked behind you. As if in response to your guess, heavier footsteps sounded, seemingly not far away.
Someone caught up with you. It was him, the guy from that corner. Red exclamation marks flashed through your mind, accompanied by a low rumbling sound. You tried to calm yourself down and kept walking, your hands below you, silently telling yourself to calm down.

You unzipped your bag, and the footsteps seemed to be getting closer.
2
The phone, the phone, your hand touched it, and pressed a few buttons.
3
You quickly ran to the side, a flash of white light passed right by you, you subconsciously looked down, and then your eyes widened, you saw it, it was a knife!
A man in black stands where you were just now, holding a small knife as if to stab someone. You retreat in terror, leaning against the wall, panting, your face covered in sweat. Thank goodness, if you hadn't noticed in time, that spot would have been your back.
He turns to face you, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask, revealing only his eyes, which are fierce. Before you can react, he rushes towards you, raising the knife high in his hand, which gleams with a terrifying cold light.
run!
You only have that one word in your mind, no time to think, you take a step and turn to run.
Damn it, I'm wearing high heels today, so I can't run fast at all. You try to take two steps forward as fast as you can, but unfortunately, the man in black is faster than you.
Another corner appears. You hide in the corner, holding your breath, afraid to move. You peek out and see a dark figure flash by in the distance. The person is still searching. The moment he turns his head, you immediately pull back.
You're safe for now, but the only thing you need to do is stall this criminal. He's illegally carrying a knife, so you can't fight him head-on. You need to stall until the police arrive, while ensuring your safety.
Many thoughts flashed through your mind, and you felt the surroundings quiet down.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared, and you screamed in fright.
The silver blade swung down swiftly, splashing a drop of liquid. You crashed heavily to the ground, and in your dazed state, you heard several sounds simultaneously.
"Bang."
"Clang"
"Don't move! Hands up!"
-
8 PM, at the hospital.
"After you're bandaged up, go pay for your medication and pick it up. I'll help you bandage it properly so it will heal faster."
"Okay, I've got it. Thank you."
You sit on a chair outside the outpatient clinic and stretch out your arm. The nurse picks up a bandage and carefully bandages it, finally tying a beautiful bow. The nurse looks at it with satisfaction; it is truly the most beautiful bow she has ever tied in all her years of practice.
"Lanlan! Lanlan!"
You had just smiled and thanked the nurse when you heard someone call your name.
Thinking to yourself, "Who would know you're in the hospital at this hour?" you turn around, but before you can even see the person clearly, they hug you tightly.
A familiar fruity scent wafts into your nose, and you already know who is holding you.
"Chen Peiyuan, loosen your grip, I'm suffocating." You patted his back, your voice muffled, trying your best to get him to let go of you.
When he finally let go of you, your face was slightly flushed from being suffocated. You fanned your face with your hands to cool it down, thinking to yourself, "This guy is really strong; that hug almost suffocated me."
"Hey, you..." You were about to say something to him when you were silenced by his louder voice.
"Chen Yulan, why do you have to go home alone! How many times has this happened? I didn't see you for a moment and you got hurt again." Chen Peiyuan grabbed your hand, his eyes were red, his hair was messy, and his voice was as loud as if he had just eaten several chimes. Although he was very angry, he still rationally avoided touching your injured hand.
You were momentarily speechless and didn't react. Who would want to be scolded as soon as someone arrives? You were completely bewildered.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is a hospital, be quiet. The patients are resting. If you want to make noise, go home and do it." A nurse suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hands on her hips, and shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, Chen Peiyuan turned around, left a message, and got up to leave, saying, "I'll go pay your medical bills. Wait for me here."
You stared blankly as he walked away, looking down at your bandaged hand, where a small, damp circle had spread across the bandage.
That was a tear that fell just as he turned his head away.
He cried.
You quietly look at that smudged area, a small, dark patch that contrasts sharply against the pristine white bandage.
After you finished using your hands, you touched your heart. It felt strange. Seeing Chen Peiyuan cry, you felt very sad, as if you had done something wrong. You felt guilty and heartbroken.
