Chapter 296: Wumei, Thank You!

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Wumei, Thank You!

The two gradually approached, and Ye Wumei caught the familiar masculine scent of Fang Bai; quivering, she stretched out her hands and gently caressed the handsome, sun-like radiant face, her palms actually feeling his warmth...

To smell his scent, to feel his warmth—this dream was too real!

"You’re not dreaming, this is real!"

Fang Bai softly caught Ye Wumei’s hands, bowed his head slightly, gazed into her eyes, and said softly, "I’m all right, I haven’t died!"

"Wow..."

Ye Wumei was stunned for a moment and then suddenly threw herself into Fang Bai’s arms, bursting into tears as they fell like rain.

At this moment, she was no longer the superstar that everyone looked up to but a fragile, tenderhearted woman.

Fang Bai opened his arms wide, pulled her into his embrace, and caressed her back with his hands, his voice warm and comforting.

"I just knew... I just knew... you wouldn’t die... you couldn’t die... Do you know, Fang Bai, the moment you fell into the ravine, my heart ached so badly, as if the whole world had left me... For two days and one night, I just sat here... I knew a miracle would happen, that you would appear before me... Look, Heaven has been so kind to me, you really have appeared..."

Ye Wumei sobbed and laughed, murmuring softly. Her arms clung tightly around Fang Bai’s neck, as if she were afraid that he would disappear the moment she let go.

Fang Bai looked at the tearful beauty before him and felt as though his heart was heavily struck by something, filled with both gratitude and emotion.

"Wumei, thank you!"

Fang Bai held Ye Wumei’s wan face in his hands and sighed softly, "These past two days and night, you must have been waiting here for me without eating, drinking, or sleeping, right?"

"It is I who should say ’thank you’!"

Ye Wumei leaned again into Fang Bai’s embrace, her cheek rubbing gently against his chest, eyes squinting in contentment like a comfortable little cat, her lips curling into a soft smile as she said, "If it weren’t for you, maybe I would have ended up like those three female assassins, turned into a cold corpse to be taken away. When I think about it, I owe you several lives..."

"What happened after I fell into the ravine?"

Fang Bai wrapped an arm around Ye Wumei’s waist and sat down with her on a rock, inquiring.

"After you fell, I intended to go down after you, but the ravine was too deep, its cliffs too steep. With my strength, I was powerless, so I could only sit here and wait for you... Later, quite a few people seemed to come by, some asked me the identities of those three female assassins. At that time, my mind was filled with thoughts of you, and I didn’t pay attention to them..."

Ye Wumei recounted past events, continuing, "Later on, someone took away the bodies of the three female assassins. Then, a group of police officers asked me a few questions and gradually withdrew... That helpful female doctor named Wang Miaomiao, a disciple of the Doctor Pavilion in Yanjing, she stayed here with me for a day, then had to leave due to an emergency..."

Ye Wumei lay lazily like a cat in Fang Bai’s arms, narrating everything that had happened after Fang Bai fell into the ravine, but she was so overwhelmed with grief at the time, her senses were dulled, and there was much she did not know.

"What about you? What happened after you fell into the ravine?"

Ye Wumei looked up at Fang Bai, asking curiously.

What puzzled Ye Wumei was how Fang Bai, with his flesh and blood body, had managed to survive the fall into the hundreds-of-meters-deep ravine when even a body forged from steel would likely have shattered into pieces.

Thus, Fang Bai also narrated his experiences after falling into the ravine, including his fortuitous discovery and consumption of the "Tears of Crystal" which advanced his cultivation level, and he told all this to Ye Wumei.

"Maybe it’s because I saved many lives before, and the heavens thought I was a good person, so they didn’t take my life!"

Fang Bai concluded with a smile.

Since Fang Bai’s fall into the ravine, Ye Wumei had been enveloped in negative emotions such as sorrow, panic, anxiety, and bewilderment. For two days and one night, she had sat unmoving on that stone, without food, drink, or sleep, sustained solely by a steadfast belief.

And now, seeing Fang Bai safe and sound, the tightly wound string of her nerves suddenly relaxed, and she was overwhelmed by a profound sense of weariness.

Curling up comfortably in Fang Bai’s arms, listening to him softly recount his adventures at the bottom of the ravine, she fell soundly asleep without realizing it.

The sunset soon fell below the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened, dotted with stars that sparkled like fireflies, dazzling like flowers in the night sky.

Hearing Ye Wumei’s gentle and steady breathing, seeing that she had fallen asleep, Fang Bai let out a chuckle, leaned forward and kissed her smooth forehead, then carried her in his arms towards the highway.

What surprised Fang Bai was that his car was still parked in the emergency lane, not towed away by the traffic police. Perhaps it was because he had saved many seriously injured people from the accident; the traffic police had shown kindness and deliberately left the car for Ye Wumei, who had been waiting by the ravine.

After placing the sleeping Ye Wumei on the back seat and covering her with a jacket, Fang Bai drove off towards Yanjing.

As the car neared Yanjing, Ye Wumei slowly woke from her slumber. The first thing she did upon sitting up was to lean forward, stretch her slender arms around the front seat, and gently wrapped them around Fang Bai’s waist.

"Superstar, if you keep hugging me like this, I can’t concentrate on driving!"

Fang Bai teased with a smile.

"I still feel somewhat unreal... No, I need to hug you like this! Only this way do I feel like I’m not dreaming again!"

Ye Wumei said in a coquettish tone.

Fang Bai silently chuckled and let her be.

After this highway incident, their relationship had invisibly grown closer, becoming much more intimate.

Upon arrival in Yanjing, with dawn nearing, Fang Bai took Ye Wumei to a villa purchased by the Ye Family in Yanjing, as per her request. They agreed to meet at seven in the evening to attend a charity auction hosted by her close friend, then he departed.
