Song Shuang was woken by a phone call.
He sighed, turned on the table lamp, and answered the call.
Someone was panting on the other side.
It seemed that the guy just finished some exercises.
Who would call him at midnight panting?
Song Shuang checked his screen.
It was Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai finally calmed down and said to him immediately, "Is this Song Shuang?"
"Yeah." Song Shuang frowned.
He was unhappy to receive a phone call at midnight.
Zhang Kai heard Song Shuang's answer and forced himself to speak after hesitation, "Well..."
"What?"
Song Shuang heard Zhang Kai's serious tone and had a bad feeling.
In the next second, after an internal struggle, Zhang Kai told Song Shuang the truth, "Your wife ran away..."
"My wife ran away?"
Song Shuang thought he heard it wrong.
On the other side, in order to prove the truthfulness, Zhang Kai handed the phone over to Qu Xiaobo.
Qu Xiaobo took the phone and said emotionally, "We're not joking! Your wife has gone missing!"
Qu Xiaobo was very nervous.
If Song Shuang only listened to Zhang Kai, he would think that Zhang Kai was drunk and talked nonsense.
But after hearing what Qu Xiaobo said, he was sure that something happened to Gu Baisheng!
He suddenly became awake, "What happened?"
He was in Gangcheng for less than a day.
How could Gu Baisheng go missing?
What happened?
Song Shuang was so worried.
But Qu Xiaobo dared not to tell the truth.
She looked at Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai knew that Qu Xiaobo couldn't say it herself, so he took the phone from Qu Xiaobo, "Here's the thing. She woke up from her sleep due to a nightmare."
"A nightmare?"
Song Shuang wasn't surprised about this.
So he kept asking, "And then?"
"And then she asked me if she had a cat and if the cat gave birth to a kitten called Candy."
The more Zhang Kai said, the more worried Song Shuang became.
Zhang Kai and Qu Xiaobo couldn't see his facial expression now. If they could see it in person and talk to Song Shuang face to face, they would feel more stressed.
"She became very emotional and we..."
Qu Xiaobo and Zhang Kai looked at each other.
They dared not to tell that they knocked Gu Baisheng out.
But Qu Xiaobo felt that they couldn't keep it a secret.
So, she said, "Then she became very emotional. We had no choice but to knock her out."
"Knock her out?"
As expected, Song Shuang sounded fierce.
After looking for Gu Baisheng for so long, Zhang Kai and Qu Xiaobo were sweaty.
But Song Shuang's words made them scared out of their wits.
"Zhang Kai did it!"
Qu Xiaobo exposed the culprit.
Zhang Kai explained worriedly, "Relax! I didn't hit her hard. She only passed out for about an hour! We don't have the heart to hurt Bai Shengsheng! You should know that!"
Zhang Kai tried his best to explain.
Qu Xiaobo backed him up, "Yeah, he didn't hit her hard!"
"Why did she go missing?"
Song Shuang got to the point.
Qu Xiaobo whispered, "Because Zhang Kai said that she would wake up for less than an hour, we waited for her. But after an hour, she didn't wake up. I was worried and went to ask him. He said that he would like to check on Shengsheng in my room. But after we opened the door, she was gone!"
Qu Xiaobo and Zhang Kai were scared because Gu Baisheng went missing.
Zhang Kai was worried.
After talking to Song Shuang, he became even more worried.
After hearing what they said, Song Shuang frowned, "You haven't found her after so long?"
"Yeah." Qu Xiaobo almost cried. "I really worry about her. She disappeared so quickly. Zhang Kai and I searched everywhere in this neighborhood, but we failed to find her. Now some of Zhang Kai's colleagues joined us, too."
Song Shuang looked down while listening to them, "I'll go back to Beicheng."
Before Qu Xiaobo and Zhang Kai said anything, he hung up the phone.
Qu Xiaobo's eyes were red when she looked at the phone.
Zhang Kai comforted her when he saw her sad face, "Please don't cry. She's an adult. She'll be safe."
"She'll be safe? She is very special!" Qu Xiaobo punched Zhang Kai when her tears dropped. "You shouldn't have hit her so hard! If you didn't do so, she would wake up much sooner and I wouldn't ask you why she was still unconscious. If I stay with her, she won't go missing!"
Qu Xiaobo cried and blamed herself.
Zhang Kai didn't know what to do on hearing it.
The priority was to find Gu Baisheng.
But Beicheng was huge.
It wasn't easy to find someone in such a big city.
Where did Gu Baisheng go?
Qu Xiaobo and Zhang Kai were busy looking for Gu Baisheng.
Gu Baisheng was stopped by Su Yuanyi after she walked out of the lift.
"Please wait, Miss Bai!"
Gu Baisheng bit her lip and didn't look back.
But in the next second, her arm was grabbed by Su Yuanyi.
"Please wait!"
Gu Baisheng couldn't think straight, especially when she heard Su Yuanyi's voice.
She thought that she should've remembered Su Yuanyi.
But in reality, she couldn't recall anything about Su Yuanyi.
She had no idea why she forgot.
She just felt sad.
She felt sad when she saw the cat named Candy.
She couldn't breathe.
She also wanted to retrieve her lost memories.
But at the same time, she was afraid to recall those memories.
Su Yuanyi noticed that she left in a rush.
But she limped due to her sprained ankle.
So, he sighed, "Miss Bai, please let me drive you back."
"Thank you, but I can go back myself."
She didn't want to have any contact with Su Yuanyi now.
Su Yuanyi saw her stubborn face and refused to let go of her arm, "Why are you so stubborn? You sprained your ankle. And it's not easy to find a taxi at this time. It's unsafe to go home alone. It's better to let me drive you home."
Su Yuanyi tried to talk sense into her.
But Gu Baisheng withdrew her arm, "I said no. I'm OK on my own."
She turned down Su Yuanyi's offer stubbornly.
Su Yuanyi didn't know why she was so stubborn.
He watched her in silence after being shaken off, "If you don't want me to drive you home, at least ask a friend to pick you up."
Gu Baisheng shook her head, "Leave me alone."
She walked away.
She was uneasy and couldn't pay attention to anything.
Thousands of thoughts were on her mind.
And her temples hurt.
Su Yuanyi tried to persuade her when she refused to cooperate.
She started walking with her sprained ankle.
She wanted to cross the road.
There were only a few cars on the road at midnight.
But she didn't pay attention to the traffic.
She suddenly heard the harsh car horn when she was in the middle of the road.
She turned around to look at it instinctively.
The car lights made her unable to see anything.
The world was suddenly lit up.
Then it went completely dark after the shriek and a squeal of brakes.
…
"What should we name it?"
"Blackie?"
Under the warm sunlight, the mother cat was feeding the kitten on the cushion in their pink cat nest.
The kitten was enjoying its mom's belly alone.
Its little paws were touching its mother's belly.
A young couple in matching shirts was watching the mother cat feeding its kitten.
The girl objected after the boy said the name, "No, Blackie is a dog name."
"What should we name it then?"
"Black?"
The girl touched the kitten gently with her fair arm.
The kitten didn't move while eating with its eyes closed.
"What's the difference between Black and Blackie?"
The boy joked.
The girl turned around at her home after thinking about it for a while.
She suddenly saw a candy tray on the table with some peanut-flavored candy in it, "Why don't we name it Candice?"
"Maybe Peanut?
"I think Candice is good. My neighbor already has a cat named Peanut."
The girl made the decision.
The boy nodded, "Alright, Candice is good but..."
"But what?"
The girl looked at the boy with her shiny eyes.
The boy smiled, "I think Candy sounds cuter. Maybe we can call it Candy?"
"Candy?"
The girl thought about the name seriously.
She repeated it several times and smiled, "Yeah, Candy does sound cuter."
She patted the kitten smilingly and talked to it happily, "Candy, you have a name now. Do you like your name?"
The kitten was eating and had no idea of what she was talking about.
But she still felt happy.
She patted the kitten.
And the boy next to her touched her hair.
She turned around to stare at her when he touched her hair, "Stop touching my hair."
"You're not tall, and you won't get any shorter if I touch your hair."
The boy made fun of her.
She frowned immediately and grabbed his wrist to keep his hand off her hair.
In the meantime, the boy pulled her into his arms.
They fell on the carpet right away.
She fell into his arms and looked up at his face.
His jaw and thin lips were so handsome and sexy.
She wanted to see his face clearly but somehow failed.
