Listen The Wonderful Sounds of Nature~

City H had recently experienced two heavy snowfalls, but perhaps because the temperature had not dropped too drastically, the river's surface had not frozen over.

The river's current was not hindered in the slightest by the cold weather, continuing to surge rapidly.

His slight curiosity satisfied, Lin Yu did not leave. Instead, he zipped up his jacket tight and shoved his hands into his pockets.

Having braced himself against the cold, he found a nearby bench meant for resting, sat down, and stared blankly at the river, which looked like a cheap mirror.

At this moment, Lin Yu thought of nothing.

He just zoned out, staring at the river.

For some inexplicable reason, Lin Yu found this vacant state incredibly comfortable.

No need to think, no need to do anything. Just sitting here quietly, undisturbed by anyone, free from annoying troubles and pressure. He could completely empty his mind.

Blending seamlessly and quietly with the silent snow and the softly flowing river.

Listen.

The soothing sound of the surging water.

Listen.

The wind whistling through the rustling fine snow.

Listen.

The chaotic crunching of footsteps in the snow.

How wonderful the sounds of nature are...

...

...

In the early hours of this snowy night, the temperature had dropped to who knows how many degrees below zero.

Yet, even in such freezing weather, a drop of cold sweat quietly slid down Lin Yu's temple.

The chaotic crunching of snow drew closer and closer, only to suddenly disappear when it was less than two or three meters away. In its place came an invisible, oppressive pressure.

Sitting on the wooden bench, Lin Yu felt every hair on his body stand on end.

The messy footsteps vanished, and the snowy night returned to tranquility.

Amidst this freezing silence, a set of light footsteps gradually approached.

A slender figure stopped beside him. Without saying a word, she sat down on the bench right next to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu stared straight ahead, not daring to look sideways. His pupils contracted slightly in tension, as if a terrifying female ghost had just sat down beside him.

As if just one glance at her would mean being dragged away!

In this increasingly suffocating atmosphere, Lin Yu's brain worked in overdrive.

Half a minute later, he came up with a plan that had a slight chance of getting him out of this predicament.

Play blind!

Ah.

Lin Yu sniffled, shrank his shoulders against the cold, and muttered to himself,

I'm getting a little hungry.

Let's see if there's an open convenience store around here. I should go grab a bite to eat.

With that, Lin Yu stood up and turned around, ready to slip away.

But just as his left foot took a single step, he saw a human wall of men in black suits blocking his path. He sensibly pulled his foot back.

He silently counted the number of suited bodyguards present, stopping after he reached twenty.

He turned his head back to look at the person who had silently sat down beside him.

The night was windless, and unusually, there were no clouds.

The moon hung high in the sky, its light spreading out like a blooming flower. Bright moonlight blanketed the earth; the silver moon was perfectly round, its radiance dazzling. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.

Then he looked at the person before him.

Yeah.

She was even more beautiful than the moonlight.

Suppressing the sense of awe that had not surfaced in his heart for a long time, Lin Yu put on a helpless expression, sighed, and said,

Qing Mo, could you stop causing trouble?

I'm annoyed enough as it is right now.

Could you please stop messing around?

Ever since sitting down, Qing Mo had acted much like Lin Yu did earlier. She sat relaxed on the bench with her legs crossed, staring straight ahead at the distant flowing river.

It was not until Lin Yu spoke that she turned her head to look at him. She tilted her head slightly, her raven hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall.

A hint of confusion flashed in her pure eyes, and she asked in a voice as clear and melodious as shattering ice,

Are you trying to act shamelessly with me?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Lin Yu knew Qing Mo was referring to their previous agreement, but he chose to play dumb.

After all, aside from playing dumb, he had no other options.

Besides, when it came to dealing with Qing Mo, Lin Yu still had some confidence.

Even though she looked fierce right now, as if she were about to do something terrible to him.

But given her peculiar quirks, Lin Yu figured she probably would not force herself on him.

So what if he acted shamelessly!

What was she going to do about it?!

She could not possibly make him fulfill that promise, could she?

Those two girls being together was already enough of a headache. If he added Qing Mo to the mix, it would be an absolute dead end!

Ugh.

Lin Yu clicked his tongue impatiently and tried to brush her off,

Just stop adding to the mess here.

I'm leaving. Bye.

With that, Lin Yu turned around once more. Harboring a sliver of hope that they would not stop him, he kept his head down and prepared to squeeze his way through the burly men in black.

Lin Yu guessed half right.

This time, the group of men in black did not just block him. Instead, taking a cue from Qing Mo's expression, they directly subdued him.

Lin Yu had initially planned to put up a little resistance.

But the moment he felt the solid strength coming from the hands of these muscular men, he gave up completely.

One look and he could tell these guys were trained fighters. Lin Yu was not even confident he could win a two-on-one, let alone against this massive swarm of people.

Hey!

What are you doing!

Take it easy!

Lin Yu tried to struggle, but it was useless.

Two men grabbed his arms, and four men held his legs.

Lin Yu was hoisted straight into the air, entering a feet-off-the-ground flying mode!

Qing Mo!

Stop messing around!

Tell them to let me go right now!

Have you forgotten?

I saved your life before!

How can you treat me like this now!

Have you no shame?!

He could not run, and he could not fight.

At this point, Lin Yu could only rely on his powers of persuasion, hoping that Qing Mo would remember their past bond and turn back from this boundless sea of lust!

Qing Mo stood up from the bench. She looked down at him from above, parted her red lips, and spoke in a voice as cold as winter.

I told you.

If you dare to two-time me, I will make you pay the price!

Qing Mo!

Are you crazy!

Seeing that reasoning with her was impossible, Lin Yu's composure shattered. He struggled and shouted,

Let me go!

Help!

He-

Lin Yu's mouth was covered by a towel, reducing his shouts to muffled whimpers.

Taking advantage of this, the group of men in black swiftly carried him away, shoving him into an extended RV parked nearby.

Qing Mo stood amidst the pristine snow, watching Lin Yu's departing back. The coldness in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a gentle warmth that did not match her usual demeanor, slowly surfacing in the depths of her gaze and softening her aloof aura entirely.

Lin Yu.

If you were to choose to be faithful to just one person until the end.

Then I would respect your choice.

But if you are greedy and want to keep more people by your side.

Then I am sorry.

I must be one of them!
