Chapter 436: Tinglan is waiting for me to find her

earing Muhan's mother say these harsh words, her worry vanished without a trace. Although her voice was soft, she countered forcefully: "Muhan's mother, I and Muhan are only teacher-student relationsh...For a day and night, Lu Kuò feared that his body wouldn't be able to handle it. He insisted that he leave the computer and rest for a while, but his back was soaked with sweat, drying and soaking again, yet he remained motionless. 。

"With Shao Hui watching over us, you should go back and get a good night's sleep. " 。He can't let him continue like this, even an iron body can't withstand it. 。He gripped Zhuo Yunan's stiff shoulders, trying to drag him away forcefully. 。Zhuo Yu'an was dragged back by him, his eyes were bloodshot, and the always calm expression finally gathered a burst of anger as he looked at Lu Kuo. His eyes seemed to have a storm brewing within them. 。Lu Kuo wasn't afraid: "You can insult me all you want, it won't help. You can't keep this up, you're going to die of exhaustion." 。Go back and get some rest, then come back and continue looking. 。Lu Kuò thought Zhuó Yǔ'ān would scold him, but he just looked at him, the storm in his eyes dissipated, and then said faintly: "Ting Lan is waiting for me to find her" 。Beneath the calm and placid voice lay his indomitable will, supporting him. He couldn't let up, for if he did, he would likely crumble completely. 。Lu Kuo was helpless, so he had to follow him. 。Shao Hui's side also dispatched police to help with the search. 。Shutinglan was drowsy on the car, she didn't know if it was because of tiredness or being drugged. She remained hazy and unclear about how many cars she had changed or how long she had been riding. The scenery outside the window was clearly no longer the city of Senzhou, but a desolate place. 。She didn't see Yi Muyang either, and Gan An hadn't contacted her again. 。She was completely out of it, both thirsty and hungry. Where were they taking her

Yi Muyang also woke up in a daze. After calling Tinglan, he deliberately used a cheerful voice, just to tell her not to come, it was dangerous. 。But later, Gan An knocked him unconscious. As for what happened next and whether Ting Lan kept her appointment, he was completely clueless. 。He didn't even know he had been unconscious for a day and a night, that he was almost back to the border. 。When he saw the familiar scenery flashing past outside the window, he realized they were on their way back. Gan An was a cunning and deceitful person, hard to fathom. 。"

“Ayang, I'm sorry I have to hit you. I'll make it up to you when we get back.” 。"Yi Muyang remained silent. He had no leverage to oppose Gan An, who could ruthlessly and accurately target his weaknesses." 。After driving all night, when the car came to a stop in the border town, Yimu Yang saw what Gan An had spoken of as compensation. 。That was Shu Tinglan who got out of another car. Her face was pale, and she looked around in a daze, seemingly unsure of where she was. 。"Ayang, how is it Do you like the compensation I gave you"Yi Mu Yang's entire body felt frozen, his blood congealed and wouldn't flow. He stared stiffly at Ting Lan before him, as if he had been poured with ice. 。She's gained a little weight since being in town, but she's even prettier. Even after a long journey, she's still so beautiful. 。For some reason, all he could see at this moment was how beautiful she was. 。Shu Tinglan's eyes finally focused, then she turned her head slightly and saw Yi Mu yang not far away. 。He was still handsome and dashing, but his eyes no longer held the former sunshine and clarity. They now carried the weight of wind and frost, the depth of experience, and the burdens of hidden thoughts. 。He looked at her too, his eyes stopping her from saying his name. 。Gan An also got out of the car, seeing the two standing there awkwardly. He burst into laughter and clapped his hands, saying:

“A Yang, I traveled a thousand miles to bring you this person. Shouldn't you thank me”

Yi Mu Yang originally wanted to deny any feelings he had for Shu Ting Lan, but thinking about it was pointless. If Gan An could be deceived by him, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bring the person here. 。。"

Gan An patted his shoulder: “Come on, let’s go back to my house.” " 。You've been apart for so long, it's like a fresh start. Don't waste this beautiful time together. 。Yi Muyang got back on the car from upstream and then stuck his head out again, shouting to Tinglan not far away: “Tinglan, get in the car. Let's go to Anzong’s house together.” 。He has returned to normal. 。Shu Tinglan hurried a few steps and got into the car, sitting beside Yi Mu Yang. With him by her side, she felt a little more at ease. 。There's a sense of unreality, like everything is a dream or absurd. 。

They sat side-by-side in the back seat. Yi Mu Yang reached out to grasp her hand, but with restraint, only holding her wrist tightly. It seemed as if he was trying to give her a sense of reality, perhaps comforting her, or maybe even a silent apology for pulling her into this. 。Shu Tinglan silently returned his hand, also grasping his wrist, indicating that she was fine. 。

Silent interaction, tacit understanding remains. 。Gan An seemed determined to get them together, arranging for them to stay in a two-story bungalow next to his villa, with only one room inside. 。Finally, they had some time alone together. They hadn't seen each other in so long that for a moment, neither knew what to say. 。Yimu Chang's heart was filled with infinite guilt for having dragged her into this endless world of darkness. 。

There was no need for him to say sorry, Tinglan knew what he was thinking. She shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine. 。"Have you been here all along"

"Well">>> 。"The air here is pretty good. When I came over just now, the wind blew flowers into the car, and they smelled really nice." 。"

"Yeah" 。Even "

" is quiet, it's not even 10 pm yet, the street seems deserted. 。"

“Well” 。"

Yi Mu Yang, I'm tired, going to sleep now. You should get some rest too. " 。"

Good" 。She spoke, then lay down on the only bed in the room, near the edge, leaving most of it for Yi Mu Yang. 。Yi Muyang also lay down on the bed, leaning against the edge on the other side. 。The room was completely silent, with only the chirping of crickets in the villa garden. 。Yimu Yang thought back to before, when he accompanied Tinglan on a business trip to Senzhou. The two of them stayed in a hotel and also slept like this, each lying on one side. At that time, he really wanted to get closer to her, possess her, but because she was not ready, he suppressed all his desires and just leaned over to hug her. 。Now, he also wanted to reach out and hug her, just a simple hug, with no romantic intentions at all. However, he didn't dare, and he had no courage. The guilt was growing wildly inside him, consuming him. 。Tinglan remained remarkably calm throughout, a calmness that surprised him. From beginning to end, he didn't see her panic, didn't see the fear she might have for the dangerous situation. Even amidst it all, she could smell the flowers and see the quiet street. 。Her calm statement just now tore at his heart. 。"

Tinglan, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" These two words of apology couldn't possibly express the pain he felt right now. He finally understood, firsthand, what Jia Peng had meant – Dan An had countless ways to make you suffer beyond measure. " 。"Yimu Yang, it's not your fault" 。I'm fine, really. 。She wasn't afraid of danger or an unknown fate, she just really wanted to be with Zhuo Yu'an. 。

I just miss him. 。d at her ranking, 50th, and her mood sank even further. She hadn't been this far behind Wen Jian before, back in middle school. But looking back, there were signs. Wen Jian leaned towards STEM subjec...
