"Fang Ningjie, we're not suitable for each other."

After a long silence, I sighed deeply and said in a world-weary tone:

"His plans contain his ideals and future, just like his name, destined to be the pride of the heavens and the earth."

"And I'm just an ordinary person."

"If we force it, in the future, I will only be a burden to him. And as for his love for me... how much will be left at that time?"

The air grew quiet, and neither of us said anything.

"You're just scared."

Fang Ningjie hit the nail on the head. "You're afraid of losing again... so you're retreating."

Fang Ning looked at me seriously.

"Jiang Xuan, do you know what A Yan did for you?"

"Last year, when he insisted on bringing you home, my parents pressured him. If they were to agree for you two to be together, you had to get a guaranteed offer for admission to Harvard in M Country after graduation."

"He agreed in order to be with you! Otherwise, why would you think my parents accepted you as his girlfriend so quickly..."

My pupils moved, and I looked at her in astonishment.

"But a few months ago, A Yan suddenly told us that he didn't want to go abroad... he planned to familiarize himself with his family's company after graduation."

"My parents thought this was what you wanted, so they refused to agree."

"But later, they compromised, with the condition that he must immediately go to the company to intern and if his performance didn't pass, he would go abroad."

"He's been busy these past few months. My dad gave him many difficult projects, so A Yan often didn't have time to eat or rest."

A trace of sadness appeared on Fang Ningjie's face.

"Xiao Xuan... don't let his efforts go to waste..."

"I'll give you one last chance!"

"Now, either come with me or stay here. Choose one!"

My mind buzzed, continuously digesting Fang Ningjie's words.

So, did I misunderstand him?

Seeing Fang Ningjie about to leave, I quickly spoke up, "Wait!"

"Fang Ningjie, I'll go with you!"

Except for my identification and a few pieces of clothing, I had nothing here.

I bid farewell to Aya, telling her I would see her when school starts.

I got into Fang Ningjie's red Porsche.

The vast expanse of the world was the infinite background for my pursuit of faith.

The soaring eagles were like my racing heart at this moment.

"So what happened afterwards?"

The male police officer continued, "What happened afterwards?"

"Afterwards?" I closed my eyes.

There, a bright orange light illuminated everything.

"Ningjie, it's too dark to see the road. Shouldn't we find a place to rest?"

I looked at the mountain road ahead, feeling uneasy.

Fang Ningjie comforted me jokingly, "Don't worry, Xiaoxuan. I'm very familiar with this road. And I've had my driver's license for many years~"

"From here to the center of Haicheng is the shortest distance. If we drive for another hour, we'll see A Yan!"

Just as she finished speaking, the car suddenly swerved.

"Ningjie, what's wrong?" I worriedly asked.

"It's nothing, maybe the tire is low on air..."

"Be careful, Ningjie!"

A large boulder was lying in front not far away.

A cell phone suddenly rang, disrupting the moment and feeling like a death knell.

With urgency, Fang Ningjie slammed on the brakes.

The car jerked to a stop, and then immediately started moving again.

The entire system seemed to malfunction completely, uncontrollable.

In haste, Fang Ningjie could only turn the steering wheel towards the mountainside.

The car instantly stalled and burst into flames.

I had blood flowing down my head and, in a daze, I heard Fang Ningjie talking to her mother on the phone.

"Hello, Mom. I got into a car accident..." Her voice weakly came out of her throat.

"Don't worry..."

"Send someone to rescue us."

"And... Jiang Xuan..."
