Huang Taikang followed the address Jin Ru gave him and arrived at the hotel she was staying at.
Before she got out of the car, he still haggled with her.
"Can I have your contact information?"
"Guess!" Jin Ru raised an eyebrow and asked back.
"Then I guess so!" Taikang held out his phone in front of her.
"Don't get ahead of yourself!" She said, then opened the car door, intending to step out.
"But you'll have to see me again, you still have to repay me for helping you today!" Taikang smiled casually.
She paused for a moment; she really didn't want to owe him anything.
She sighed, took out her business card, and turned to hand it to him.
Taikang achieved his goal and smiled happily.
"See you again!"
Jin Ru didn't reply but walked directly into the hotel. Taikang also drove away.
The Porsche nearby had its engine off. The person inside gripped the steering wheel tightly, their breathing steady but heavy.
Chen Jiancheng glanced up at a room on a high floor where a light had just come on, then looked at the painting placed on the passenger seat.
He let out a soft sigh, then drove away.
Going crazy.
The next morning, Tai Jinru had to pack her luggage to return to the city.
After many days of anticipation, only to meet him for a few moments, her heart grew heavier.
She arrived at the airport quite early because she chose a 6 AM flight.
But things didn't go as she wished. The weather in Quy Nhon turned bad. Yesterday it was sunny and beautiful, but today there was a thunderstorm. Flights were delayed for safety reasons.
Jin Ru waited at the airport for quite a while, and the rain became heavier.
At this moment, the flight attendant's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Passengers on flight KN004 departing from Quy Nhon to Ho Chi Minh City at 6 AM, please proceed to the ticket counter to exchange your tickets for another flight. The airline sincerely apologizes for this delay."
Jin Ru heard her flight number and quickly stood up to follow the instructions.
She handed her ticket to the ticket agent. The agent saw her name and paused for a moment, then quickly became cheerful.
"Hello, Ms. Tai Jinru. Your ticket is A07 economy class, but due to the flight delay, the economy class seats were already filled. The airline will automatically upgrade your ticket to business class. We hope for your understanding."
"So I have to pay extra?" She asked vaguely.
"No, ma'am. This is an incident, so the airline will compensate you. We just hope your work won't be delayed by today's inconvenience!"
Jin Ru said "Oh, oh" and took back the ticket from the agent. She nodded in thanks and left without any suspicion.
After Jin Ru had walked a short distance, the agent immediately called someone. All that could be heard was her saying:
"Yes, sir, everything you asked for has been resolved...! Yes, thank you, sir!"
Tai Jinru held her ticket and walked onto the plane. It was her first time flying business class, so she was very flustered.
She gently asked the flight attendant for her seat number.
After settling into her seat, she couldn't help but exclaim. Business class was indeed very different.
She didn't know why she felt anxious. The last time there was turbulence on a plane, and then the world suddenly changed.
Would there be any changes this time? Jin Ru didn't hope for anything to happen.
As she was deep in thought, a faint scent of whiskey wafted into her nose.
Jin Ru froze, looking at the person next to her. She seemed to be stunned for a few seconds, only knowing what she saw in her eyes.
"What a coincidence!" He spoke.
Her heart pounded. She looked at him opposite her, forgetting to reply.
"Are you okay?" Chen Jiancheng asked her.
"Oh, I'm fine...! What a coincidence!" She startled, quickly replying to him.
He just smiled and looked at her, thinking to himself, "It's not much of a coincidence!"
The two sat in silence next to each other. Chen Jiancheng was quite relaxed, but Jin Ru was not.
She sat upright in her seat, secretly glancing at his large, veiny hand resting on the armrest, lost in thought, wanting to hold it so badly!
About ten minutes after the plane took off, sleepiness overcame Jin Ru's remaining reason.
She leaned her head back, dozing off, and then fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't know that for nearly an hour of her sleep, the person beside her was still gently watching her.
Chen Jiancheng looked at his girl with all sorts of emotions.
There was affection, longing, and also a hint of unfamiliarity.
That year, when she jumped off the building with that crazy girl, he almost went mad.
But Li Wanru didn't die; she remained in a coma and had been cared for by his family all these years.
At that time, he had questioned everything with Tan An, forcing her to reveal everything.
Their words on the rooftop back then had made him suspicious.
Tan An later told him everything.
He wasn't surprised or doubtful; he simply asked one question.
"So, where is my beloved?"
Tan An was silent, looking at his haggard appearance, then stammered in reply.
"Perhaps she... is in her own world.
Or somewhere else, it's also possible she's still in Wanru's body, I'm not sure."
"Is there any way for me to see her again?" he asked.
"I don't know, this is beyond my capabilities."
Because of Tan An's words that she might still be in Wanru's body, he continued to meticulously care for and treat Li Wanru. He was afraid that if she truly was still there, she would suffer torment from the injuries.
But Tan An also said that because the original owner, Li Wanru, had abused the system too much, her body had rejected it when she returned, leading to her deep coma.
Other than the name "Cai Jinru" which he overheard on the rooftop at the time, he knew nothing about her. If they met again, he wouldn't even recognize what she looked like.
But now, Chen Jiancheng quietly gazed at every feature on Jin Ru's face.
He took off his jacket and gently draped it over her.
After a moment of hesitation, he gently took her hand; it was still as small as before.
Jin Ru felt a warm sensation envelop her hand, and her consciousness categorized it as a familiar feeling.
Unconsciously, she also reached out her hand and intertwined their fingers tightly.
Looking at their ten fingers intertwined, he felt happy inside. His smile was deep, and he just silently watched her like that.
