239: C239 Midnight Call

C239 Midnight Call

Jian Ran had been having a bad sleep for the past two or three years. She would often be pleasantly surprised by nightmares, so she slept late. She hoped that she would sleep a little deeper once she fell asleep.

However, it was useless. As long as she closed her eyes, there would be all kinds of nightmares that would haunt her.

Today, she dreamed again. She dreamt that many people in white coats held needles and injected unknown liquid into her body.

She struggled, she resisted, but it was useless. It was as if there was an invisible net trapping her. She could only let those people slaughter her.

"Jian Ran -"

In the darkness, a low and deep voice was calling her name. It was a very familiar but distant male voice.

Following this voice, a black figure walked towards her. The black figure was getting closer and closer. She wanted to reach out to grab him, but just as she was about to grab the black figure, the people in white coats dragged her away forcefully. Each of them held a syringe as thick as an arm and pierced her body.

Jian Ran struggled and shouted, "No, no -"

Just when she was at her most helpless moment, the phone beside her suddenly rang. It was like a heavenly bell that pulled her out of a nightmare.

Jian Ran was panting. She was still in shock as she wiped away the fine sweat on her forehead. She touched the phone and answered, "Hello?"

Her voice was still trembling and could not be controlled.

She did not see clearly who was calling. She just felt that this call was too timely and pulled her out of the nightmare.

"Jian Ran, I am Qin Yue."

The other party's low voice came from the receiver, carrying a kind of reassuring quality.

It was Qin Yue again.

Jian Ran vaguely remembered that when she had nightmares a few days ago, Qin Yue also called in time to pull her out of the nightmare, as if he always knew her situation.

Why did he always appear when she needed him?

She clearly knew that in the eyes of that man, she was just a substitute for his ex-wife. However, when she heard his deep voice that sounded like a cellist, she could not help but feel relieved. It was as if the dark night had light, as if there was a warm embrace in the cold winter.

She took a deep breath and tried to speak to him in a calm tone. She did not know why, but she did not want that man to see through her thoughts. "It's so late. What's the matter?"

"I suddenly wanted to hear your voice, so I called you." The man said that the voice in the microphone was so gentle that it was almost perfect. "I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No..." Jian Ran replied softly. It was past two o'clock in the morning. The world was dark and quiet. All sounds became very clear, like the man's steady breathing on the other end of the phone.

Jian Ran suddenly wanted to laugh. In the middle of the night, he did not sleep. He just called her like this. Was it a coincidence or did he really know that she was having a nightmare?

"Qin Yue," she couldn't help but call him.

"I'm here." The other party answered with some sort of determination.

Jian Ran sat on the bed and raised her head slightly. Looking at the darkness, she could not help but smile. "Are you spying on me? Why do you always appear in such a timely manner?"

Her tone was light, thirty percent lovable, and seventy percent mischievous.

However, she did not know that her words made Qin Yue's heart sink.

He was indeed monitoring her. A few days ago, he had discovered that she had a nightmare problem. Although he knew that calling her in the middle of the night was very suspicious, he still could not help but call her.

Even if he couldn't hold you in his arms and drive away the darkness for you, he still hoped to be able to give you a moment of peace across millions of people.

However, I hope to be able to return to your side as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Qin Yue could not help but smile in the darkness. With a bit of helplessness and doting, he said softly, "Yes, I have been monitoring you from the past to the future. Miss Jian, do you want to catch me?"0

Want to catch me?

Now it was Jian Ran's turn to be stunned. The man's words were half true and half false. She did not know whether he was really spying... or other means of monitoring. Also catching... Why did it sound like it was filled with other meanings!

In the darkness, Jian Ran could not help but hug the pillow in her arms tightly and bit her lips. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

Gritting her teeth, she seemed to be filled with anger.

However, Jian Ran understood very well that in the darkness, her face was as red as a rainbow.

The other party did not respond.

Jian Ran did not know why but she suddenly felt a little nervous. She could not help but bury her face into the soft pillow as her heart beat rapidly.

"Okay -"

After a long, long time, this simple syllable came from the other end of the phone.

Jian Ran was stunned.

"Wait for me." The other party said again, incomparably firm.

Then, the call ended.

Jian Ran felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and she suddenly let go of the phone in her hand. Then, she buried her face deep into the pillow and softly said, "En.

She waited for him, but this sound disappeared into the pillow, disappearing into the darkness.

Qin Yue's voice was no longer by her ear. That loneliness seemed to linger around Jian Ran's side. It was as if once she closed her eyes, she would be swallowed again.

Worried that she would be haunted by nightmares again if she slept, Jian Ran hugged the pillow and widened her eyes to look at the dark night sky. She tried her best not to let herself fall asleep.

She tried her best to recall the dream that she had just had, but her mind was blank, as if that dream had never existed.

She did not know how much time had passed, as if it had not been long. As if a long time had passed, the phone on the bed rang again.

This time Jian Ran saw clearly that the phone displayed the words "Qin Yue.

What did he have to do?

With doubt, Jian Ran's fingertips slid and answered, "Mr. Qin?"

"Are you asleep yet?" The man's gentle voice reached her ears and she instinctively shook her head. Then, she heard him say," I'm downstairs at your house. "

Jian Ran was slightly startled and immediately got off the bed and walked to the balcony. Looking over, she saw Qin Yue in a white shirt standing straight under the street light of the community.

He raised his head and the corner of his mouth rose. He waved to her, "Miss Jian, are you willing to come down and walk with me?"

Going out with a man she was not too familiar with in the middle of the night was something Jian Ran had never thought of before. At this moment, she did not hesitate at all. "Okay, wait for me for a while."

After hanging up the phone, Jian Ran returned to her room, turned on the light, and walked to the wardrobe. For a moment, she did not know which clothes to wear.

Usually, she wore casual casual clothing. She wore work clothes and there was no skirt in the wardrobe.

Jian Ran could not find any clothes that she was satisfied with. In the end, she could only wear a white shirt and jeans.

She quietly went out the door, hoping that her father would not find out. However, she did not know that Jian Zhengtian had already seen her every move.
