Miao Yu sat there, watching Yun Xi stand by the toilet entrance as if she had made a mistake. He stood up and slowly walked towards Yun Xi.

Seeing Miao Yu approaching, Yun Xi instinctively took a step back but stopped immediately after taking that single step, looking at Miao Yu with confidence that he would understand her.

Miao Yu walked up to Yun Xi, gently hugged her, and stroked her soft hair, saying, "Foolish girl, I should be the one apologizing. It's my fault for not considering things thoroughly. I'm sorry!"

When Yun Xi heard Miao Yu's words, a sweet smile of happiness appeared on her face. She gently rested her head against Miao Yu's shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Yun Xi, I have to go now but will come back to see you later!"

Miao Yu gently pushed Yun Xi away with a smile and walked towards the door.

"Um... Actually, you can stay here, but only for sleeping......!"

Seeing Miao Yu walking out, Yun Xi lowered her head and blushed as she muttered this. She quickly ran back to the bed, burrowing under the blanket and covering her face.

Buried under the blankets, Yun Xi felt her heart pounding so hard it seemed like it would jump out of her mouth; her face was burning hot, and she tightly clutched the blanket, not daring to move at all.

Miao Yu, who had just stepped outside, suddenly stopped. Even though Yun Xi's voice was very soft, Miao Yu’s senses were already highly sensitive, allowing him to hear everything she said clearly despite her low volume.

"Haha..." Hearing Yun Xi's words, a silly smile appeared on Miao Yu's face as he walked towards the bed.

The next morning

As dawn broke, Yun Xi woke up from deep sleep. Opening her eyes, she glanced at the sleeping Miao Yu and felt something firm pressing against her abdomen, making her cheeks turn slightly red.

At this moment, Yun Xi's heart was filled with happiness and sweetness; last night, they simply lay in bed quietly, but Yun Xi did not feel any dissatisfaction. Instead, she remained enveloped by a sense of joy and warmth.

Thinking about how she had placed her hand on Miao Yu’s chest earlier and felt his deep and firm affection for her, a warm feeling surged through her heart again.

Yun Xi gently placed her hand back over Miao Yu's heart, feeling the rhythm of his heartbeat as she slowly closed her eyes.

Miao Yu had actually already woken up and felt Yun Xi’s movements. He tightened his embrace around her.

The moment Yun Xi secretly put her hand on his chest, upon sensing Miao Yu's movement, she quickly withdrew it like a frightened rabbit.

When Xiao Yu felt that Yun Xi had let go of his hand, he reached out to grab her hand and placed it back on his heart.

The two lay there quietly without speaking. However, at this moment, words were unnecessary.

The sky outside gradually brightened as the sun rose.

Although they hadn't done anything last night, their relationship had undergone a qualitative change by morning, bringing them closer together.

"Yun Xi, Yun Xi! It's time to eat!"

The two were lying quietly in bed when Xiao Yu’s sister, Xiao Yu (玉), suddenly called out from outside the door.

"Oh... Sister Yu... I'll be right there!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, Yun Xi spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

It turned out that at some point during the night, Xioa Yu had reached up and started kneading her chest, which caused Yun Xi to tremble all over and speak incoherently due to quickened breathing.

"Bang bang bang... Yun Xi! What's wrong Are you okay"

When Xiao Yu heard that something was amiss, she pounded on the door anxiously.

Yun Xi pushed away Xioa Yu’s hand and glared at him before answering the door: "Sister Yu! I’m fine. I'll be out in a moment!"

"Alright, but hurry up then," Xiao Yu said with some confusion.

“Haha... Quickly get dressed! Otherwise, Aunt will come over soon!” Yun Xi saw Xioa Yu’s hand reaching towards her again and quickly broke free from his embrace, jumping off the bed and heading toward the toilet.

A little while later, when Yun Xi emerged from the bathroom fully dressed, she still had a slight blush on her face. Xiao Yu also got up, put on some clothes, washed his face in the toilet, tidied himself up, and then left with Yun Xi.

Yun Xi linked arms with Xiao Yu as they walked towards the dining room.

"Little brother, I was planning to call you soon! I didn't expect you to be here already!"

Xiao Yu said when he saw Yun Xi coming in arm-in-arm with Xiao Yu.

“Since I had nothing else to do, I thought I'd come early and check up on you guys!” Xiao Yu answered coolly without the slightest hint of guilt for any dishonesty at that moment.

"Oh... really" Xiao Yu's face was full of disbelief as she kept looking back and forth between Xiao Yu (the male) and Yun Xi!

When Yun Xi saw Xiao Yu staring at her, she felt guilty and lowered her head in embarrassment. However, there was nothing on Xiao Yu’s face that could be seen.

"Hehe........." Looking at the two of them, Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously.

Then, she turned around and whispered to Xiao Jianying a few sentences. Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Jianying looked at them with a smile before saying, "Come on, Yun Xi, sit here!"

"Uh-huh!" With her head lowered, Yun Xi softly responded as she walked towards Xiao Jianying and sat down beside him.

Xiao Yu also found himself a seat to take. Not long after, Uncle Yue’s family arrived at the restaurant. Upon seeing everyone present, Xiao Jianying started eating.

Their breakfast was very simple too. As they were all northerners, they enjoyed soy milk and fried dough fritters with pickled vegetables, each one relishing their meal.

Knowing that they would be leaving today, Xiao Yu had already booked their flights for them the previous day.

Afeter finishing breakfast, everyone rested a while before heading towards the airport.

Xiao Yu’s car was filled with his family, whereas Uncle Yue and company took the car that he came in. Since this vehicle belonged to Renhetang Clinic, it had its own driver, which spared them from worrying about not being familiar with the roads.

The two vehicles set off for the airport together.

They soon arrived at the airport. Like Uncle Yue’s party, they would be taking a flight to Beijing before heading home by train or coach from there.

Xiao Yu saw his family off tearfully at the airport, seeing them onto their plane.

After sending each of their families away respectively, Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang left the airport in separate cars. As Xiao Hongyang used Renhetang Clinic’s car, he took that one while Xiao Yu drove alone.

The driver from Renhetang Clinic was obviously an old hand; he sped off like a wisp of smoke without leaving any trace behind. On the other hand, Xiao Yu wasn't able to do so as his driving experience was still quite limited, and thus, he continued in slow motion.

While on the expressway, suddenly, the cars ahead gradually came to a halt. Xiao Yu felt rather puzzled: What’s going on When we arrived here earlier, everything went smoothly; why did it come to such a standstill now

Xiao Yu opened his car door and got out of his car. Standing by the roadside and looking forward, he saw that the long line of vehicles stretching into infinity. The drivers from several cars beside him also got out and started playing cards at the side of the road like it was second nature to them.

Among these drivers were a cement mixer truck driver as well as a big rig driver. They were cheerfully playing a game of mahjong while chatting away merrily.

"Brothers, what’s going on Why aren’t you guys in the least bit worried

Xiao Yu looked at these drivers, who weren't worried and were playing cards by the roadside. He couldn't help but walk over and ask curiously.

"Haha, little brother, you haven't driven on this highway section before, right"

One of the drivers standing nearby to watch heard Xiao Yu's question, looked up at him with a light chuckle, and said.

"Yes, I've only driven it once or twice!" Xiao Yu nodded his head in agreement.

"Haha, I thought so. Otherwise you wouldn't ask such a question! Drivers who frequently drive this highway section should know that there are often accidents at the upcoming stretch of road. There's probably another accident happening now."

Hearing Xiao Yu's response, the driver smiled and said before disregarding him to watch others play Mahjong.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, quickly went over to the roadside railing, and looked ahead.

Indeed, it was still that same stretch of road where he had been with Wei Jun before. It even seemed to be at the same location. Seeing this, Xiao Yu jumped off the railings and lowered his head in thought.

He remembered the time when he encountered a gathering of ominous Yin energy during broad daylight on this section of road. Back then, that ominous Yin energy appeared to seek out weak or distracted individuals, but it quickly dissipated upon encountering him.

However, since he hadn't noticed anything unusual back then and thought it was just a coincidence, he forgot about the matter. He never expected another accident to occur here now.

Xiao Yu was lost in thought when he suddenly jerked awake from his reverie by the sound of an incoming phone call.

Xiao Yu pulled out the phone and saw it was Xiao Hongyang calling. His heart raced, and he quickly answered.

"Hello, Hongyang, are you guys okay"

After picking up the phone, Xiao Yu hurriedly asked since Xiao Hongyang's group had been in front of him earlier, meaning they should have arrived at that stretch by now. Thus, he was rather anxious.

"Uncle Master, I'm fine. Please hurry over to where we are; a passenger bus has had an accident up ahead, and many people have been injured!"

Xiao Hongyang urgently said on the other end of the phone while Xiao Yu could also hear muffled cries for help from his surroundings.

Xiao Yu quickly hung up the call and ran along the roadside towards the accident site. With his current physical condition, he moved very fast; it took him less than a minute to reach the scene.

Xiao Yu rushed to the outer perimeter of the accident site. Through the crowd, he saw the horrific scene of the crash.

The two vehicles involved in the collision were a truck and a mid-sized passenger bus.
