Unknowingly, Yu Zhi Le had written more than 100,000 words for her Mary Sue’s masterpiece. In 2005, when online novels had not yet flourished on a large scale, her transmigration novels followed the trend and accumulated a lot of readers. When she would go to the Internet cafe to post novels every other day, she had to spend a long time reading comments.

On this day, she posted all the materials recently written on draft papers. After reading the readers’ comments to her satisfaction, Yu Zhi Le found that it was almost eleven o’clock when she recovered from her senses, nearly an hour later than her usual time. She hurriedly paid the bill and left the Internet cafe.

In late autumn, S City had not yet entered the cold season, however, the chilliness and the moisture in the air would still penetrate through the cracks of people’s bones. It was not bad now, but by the time winter came around, the cold would be even more piercing. It could even make one have the illusion that their joints were covered in molds.

As soon as Yu Zhi Le came out of the warm Internet cafe, she shivered uncontrollably and wrapped her slightly thin coat around her. She buried her head and hurried forward.

This neighborhood was an old neighborhood. This time of the year was not like during summer when there are many people cooling off in the shade, and there were very few people wandering around on the road at this hour. Yu Zhi Le walked past two blocks and noticed that there were footsteps following not far behind her. At the sight that her neighborhood was just a road away, she couldn’t help but pick up her pace.

However, as Yu Zhi Le sped up, the footsteps behind her also accelerated. She panicked and feared that she had encountered a hoodlum, blocking her path to commit robbery. She secretly glanced back and found that it was a man in a black coat. The coat was zipped up to his head, and his face hidden behind the upturned front flap, which was really suspicious.

Yu Zhi Le turned her head back and took two leisure steps. Then she unexpectedly took off, and the man following her had also started to give chase.

She ran into the neighborhood in one breath. When she arrived at the door, she couldn’t brake and collided with Yu Zi Huan who was walking out.

Yu Zhi Le steady Yu Zi Huan, who was nearly knocked over by her, and said breathlessly, “Run, someone is chasing me!”

Upon hearing that, Yu Zi Huan looked behind her towards the outside of the district, Yu Zhi Le dragged him in and the two of them staggered through the doorway. After locking the big iron door and leaning on the door for a long time, she turned around, looked out through the railings on the iron gate and did not see suspicious people, and calmed down.

Seeing her sticking out her head and looking around, Yu Zi Huan frowned and asked, “Who is chasing you?”

“I don’t know.” Yu Zhi Le let go of the hand that was holding on the railing and dusted away the dust. Her tone contained lingering fear, “I suspect he wants to rob money. Fortunately, I ran fast.”

The sound-activated lights in the corridor suddenly went out because there was no big movement at this moment in time. Yu Zhi Le turned her head, and in the darkness, Yu Zi Huan’s eyes were like jewels on black velvet. It was so dazzling that it was somewhat difficult for Yu Zhi Le to look at them directly and made her feel uneasy.

“Why don’t you say something? At least comfort me a little.” Yu Zhi Le muttered and suddenly realized the reason why Yu Zi Huan appeared at the entrance of the district so late. Her eyes moved and laughed, “You’re still worried for me, aren’t you? So you came out to pick me up?”

Yu Zi Huan still didn’t say anything, and turned around and went upstairs in the dark without needing a light source. Yu Zhi Le could see that he was unhappy again and quickly followed up as she admonished herself. “It’s my fault that I came back so late today. I will pay attention to the time to come back early in the future.”

Yu Zi Huan ignored her and continued to walk up the stairs. From the sound, Yu Zhi Le was at least behind three or four flights of stairs.

When Yu Zhi Le coughed hard, the light in the corridor came on. As expected, she had to look up to see Yu Zi Huan’s back. She took two steps at a time to catch up with him. Consequently, her balance was unstable and she almost fell. As her hands subconsciously protected herself and were about to hit the ground, she was firmly held by Yu Zi Huan, who had turned back to help her up.

In the few seconds during the unsteady moment and when Yu Zi Huan grabbed onto her, Yu Zhi Le was in a kind of wandering trance, drifting away as if she was about to be pulled away from this time period. She suddenly recalled that she also fell on the stairs, falling from 2015 to ten years ago.

Yu Zhi Le felt a shiver running down her spine, she became a little frightened. In a daze, she felt that she could not leave yet and kept repeating to give her some more time in her heart, at least to explain to Yu Zi Huan why she suddenly disappeared.

Thinking about it this way, she didn’t know when the feeling of being isolated by the transparent barrier disappeared, and Yu Zi Huan’s anxious voice sounded in his ear, “Are you all right?”

The image in front of her gradually became clearer. Yu Zi Huan looked at her eyes with an unconcealable fluster. Yu Zhi Le smiled at him and even rejoiced over a renewed life after the calamity. “I’m fine.”

Yu Zi Huan looked at her suspiciously for fear of missing out on any abnormal place, and his tone was full of uneasiness and puzzlement, “You just…”

He didn’t know how to explain Yu Zhi Le’s eyes were out of focus just now. It was as if she was out of power, and even the body held by his hands seemed to have become lifeless. He could only ask her again and again if she felt unwell.

Yu Zhi Le rarely saw him so flustered. Although she was still afraid, she still took his hand to comfort him. She felt the trembling of the young man’s palms hand that could not be restrained after being suppressed vigorously. She forcefully pulled her and brought Yu Zi Huan into her arms. Then, she patted him on the back with the other hand, and said gently in his ear, “Don’t be afraid, I’m really fine.”

The teenager’s thin back made him seem helpless, but he still kept a small distance from Yu Zhi Le stiffly and did not stick to her.

“You aren’t lying to me?”

“Well, I’m not lying to you.”
