After she was led away by Ou Ming, the both of them headed outside immediately .
The crowd outside was huge and noisy . The cold wind blew over, and Yu Lili shivered .
Ou Ming pulled her close into his arms, and asked, “Are you cold?”
Yu Lili struggled and pushed him off . With her head bowed, she walked ahead .
Ou Ming stretched out his arm in an effort to catch her, but Yu Lili’s steps were quick, and she was soon swallowed up in the sea of people .
“Yu Lili!” Ou Ming yelled, but Yu Lili didn’t even bother to turn around as she forced her way through the throng .
Ou Ming pushed aside the horde and tried to catch up . He kept his eyes riveted on the Yu Lili’s back, afraid to lose her in the crowd . But Yu Lili’s steps quickened, and she was soon out on the road . With giant strides, she joined the line of people waiting to enter the metro station .

Ou Ming panicked when he saw that and hollered over, “Yu Lili! Stop where you are!”
But there were too many people, and it was noisy . Ou Ming’s voice was drowned out by the cacophony and had no effect whatsoever .
Ou Ming followed in line too, and he tried to keep as close a chase as he could . He watched as Yu Lili made her way to the entrance of the metro station, and retrieve a metro card he didn’t know she had . She was soon inside .
Ou Ming saw the situation unfold and felt nervous . “Yu Lili!” He yelled out .
But no reaction came from Yu Lili at all . It was almost as if she hadn’t heard him . He looked on as Yu Lili disappeared down the escalator, and he let out a sigh .
He reached into his pocket, intending to retrieve his cell phone and give Yu Lili a call, but no matter how much he searched, his pocket was empty .
It wasn’t just his cell phone . Even his black leather wallet that had been in there was gone without a trace .

Looking at the multitude in front of him, Ou Ming let out a huge
sigh .
A little past eight o’clock in the evening on New Year’s Eve was when the metro was at its busiest .
When the train arrived, before Yu Lili could move a muscle, she
had already been pushed on board by the crowd . When the train reached the next
station, Yu Lili couldn’t make out any of the announcements either . She was

simply squeezed out of the train .
This wasn’t her intended stop at all!
As she watched helplessly at the doors of the train close once more and leave the platform, she felt a huge weight on her chest .
She opened her handbag and took her cell phone out .
There weren’t any missed calls . There wasn’t even a text message .
B*stard…
He didn’t even call her?
The memory of how he looked when he asked her to apologize made Yu Lili’s heart bleed anew .
Another two trains came, but there wasn’t enough space for Yu Lili to squeeze in . She finally made it into the third train, and it was past nine when she finally reached home .
A lone and long figure stood at her entrance, dressed in a dark suit and a black trench coat .
When he saw Yu Lili walk over, he straightened up a little and asked, “Why are you only back now? Where did you go?”
Yu Lili looked at him and just wanted to ignore him . She took her keys out and unlocked the door . Ou Ming watched as Yu Lili opened the door . Just as she was about to slam it shut, he blocked it with his hands and stepped in .
Honestly, all Yu Lili intended to do was to throw a little tantrum . So when she saw that she couldn’t stop him, she continued to ignore him anyway and allowed him in as she turned to head to her room .
Ou Ming removed his trench coat and hugged her from the back . He buried his face in the crook of her neck and explained, “My cell phone and wallet were stolen just now at the metro station . I walked over . ”
