Chapter 132 Disappearance
They weren't the only ones anxious; Lin Yan'an, who was on the plane, was also worried.
Inside first class, Lin Yan'an was resting with his eyes closed when Zhong Suisui, nestled in his pocket, suddenly started having a nightmare.
【don't want……】
"Mom, you can't..."
[Waaah...]
In her sleep, Zhong Suisui shifted restlessly, uttering soft, indistinct murmurs.
Its sound was intermittent and extremely faint.
Lin Yan'an, however, heard it clearly.
He quickly reached out and pulled Zhong Suisui out of his pocket. Her round little belly was still rising and falling slightly, and her fluffy little face was full of unease and anxiety. "Mommy... Suisui is here..."
Zhong Wan?
Lin Yan'an frowned, a strong sense of unease inexplicably welling up inside him.
He was holding the cat in one arm, and with the other hand he reached out to soothe its little face by stroking it.
Then he saw Zhong Suisui's figure disappear in front of him in an instant.
Without warning, it vanished completely in an instant.
Lin Yan'an froze completely, his pupils suddenly contracted, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and his whole body tensed up instantly.
Disappeared?
Zhong Suisui just vanished right before his eyes?!
What was the meaning of its final murmur?
Zhong Wan! Has something happened to her?!
So that's why Zhong Suisui was forcibly recalled?
Lin Yan'an didn't even dare to think about it too deeply, yet the thought pierced his heart and stabbed him hard.
It felt as if the air he was breathing had become suffocating, and he could almost hear the blood in his body freezing in that instant...
Lin Yan'an's breathing was heavy as he struggled to suppress the terrible thought in his mind.
"Wanwan..."
Lin Yan'an unconsciously murmured her name, his face instantly turning deathly pale. His hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and he slumped weakly into the chair.
Pei Xubai, who was standing next to him in the aisle, noticed his unusual behavior and turned to look at him with concern: "Yan An, what's wrong?"
Lin Yan'an tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.
But his voice trembled uncontrollably: "Brother-in-law... Sui Sui is missing..."
He turned to look at Pei Xubai, his eyes reddening and filled with fear: "Wanwan... something might have happened to her..."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xubai dropped the magazine he was holding onto his lap, his brows furrowing. He glanced at the time on his wrist and reassured her in a deep voice, "Yan An, don't overthink it."
"Take a deep breath and don't panic before you have concrete news."
"Zhong Wan has Xingyu and the others with her. With them there, everything will be alright."
"Yes, and Xingyu too..."
Lin Yan'an tried hard to compose herself, her voice trembling as she murmured, "Wanwan will definitely be alright!"
However, his tightly pursed lips, his slightly trembling fingers, and his unfocused eyes staring intently at the sea of clouds outside the window all revealed his inner anxiety and unease.
Every minute and every second that followed was agonizing for him.
Lin Yan'an was extremely restless, picking up her phone countless times, only to helplessly put it down again and again.
Looking at the airplane mode on his phone, self-blame, regret, and intense fear overwhelmed him.
His mind was filled with all sorts of terrifying speculations.
In the end, all the mixed emotions turned into deep regret.
He regretted it.
He shouldn't have flown to the film set alone.
He regretted it; he shouldn't have let Zhong Wan out of his sight.
I regret not having her by my side more often.
He knew perfectly well that she would see ghosts from time to time, and he knew perfectly well that her job was to deal with ghosts.
Why did you leave her behind and go alone in the first place...?
Just thinking about these things made Lin Yan'an feel guilty and regretful.
The feeling of knowing your loved one might be in danger, yet being powerless and trapped there, almost drove him crazy.
Pei Xubai looked at him with concern, but didn't know where to begin.
The altitude of tens of thousands of meters cut off their connection with the ground and prevented them from getting there immediately.
Now, all they can do is wait.
Waiting for the plane to land, waiting... for their news.
Pei Xubai raised his hand and patted Lin Yan'an's arm, soothingly saying in a low voice, "Yan'an, calm down first."
"Don't scare yourself, Zhong Wan will be fine."
"I shouldn't have left..."
Lin Yan'an's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice hoarse, and he murmured with self-reproach, "I knew... I knew she might see a ghost at any moment..."
Ghosts may appear at any time...
Just hearing this made Pei Xubai feel inexplicably terrified.
His gaze fell on the gift box containing the calligraphy brushes. Thinking back to the absurd dreams and unwarranted reprimands of that time, he fell silent.
The long flight was agonizing in their anticipation.
As soon as the plane landed, before it had even come to a complete stop, Lin Yan'an swiftly unbuckled his seatbelt, breaking free like a caged beast, and was the first to rush towards the cabin door.
He completely ignored the flight attendants' attempts to dissuade him, and as soon as the door opened a crack, he eagerly reached out to help push it open, and then rushed out.
While running anxiously along the passage, he also frantically turned on his phone.
The signal had barely been restored when a frantic vibration and a flood of messages came in instantly.
Lin Yan'an subconsciously tried to ignore it, but when she dialed that familiar number,
But after accidentally glancing at that familiar note, I quickly clicked on it.
"Uncle! Something terrible has happened! Auntie has suddenly fainted! We're on our way to Kyoto Central Hospital!"
"Uncle, have you gotten off the plane yet? Call me back as soon as you see this!"
"Uncle!..."
Pei Xingyu's voice was incoherent and choked with sobs as he reported, "Uncle! Aunt has fainted! She won't wake up no matter what we do! Her face is deathly pale! What should we do, Uncle!"
Lin Yan'an's mind went completely blank for a moment, and his hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.
The voice message on my phone is still playing automatically.
"Phew, that scared me to death! Don't worry, Uncle, Auntie is already awake..."
I'm already awake...
A moment in hell, a moment in heaven—that's all there is to it.
Lin Yan'an breathed a sigh of relief, but what followed was not relaxation, but a belated, powerless exhaustion and panic.
He quickly slowed his pace, his hand trembling so much he could barely hold the phone, and after several attempts, he finally managed to call Pei Xingyu.
The "beep beep beep" sound kept ringing in his ears.
Lin Yan'an waited with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
The surrounding crowd gradually grew noisy, and the announcements continued to ring out. He stood quietly to the side, as if his world consisted only of the ringing tone from his phone receiver.
Pei Xubai pulled Pei Xingyao to stand beside him, their breathing becoming rapid.
Pei Xingyao was completely confused, but seeing her uncle's serious expression, she ultimately kept quiet.
