a tentative nod, confusion written all over his face.
The three of them went to check the surveillance footage of the entrance to the Duan residence.
There were three cameras installed outside the gates.
One faced the gates directly, while the other two were angled to the left and right, capturing the nearest hundred metres of the neighbourhood.
To the left of the gate, there was a sharp bend.
From where Xia Wennan and Yin Zejing had been talking across the street, the car wasn’t quite visible, but the CCTV captured the car that had been lying in wait some distance away from the street corner.
According to the CCTV footage, the black car entered the frame while Xia Wennan and Yin Zejing were talking and came to a halt in front of the street corner.
Xia Wennan and Yin Zejing hadn’t spotted anything at the time due to low lighting and the fact that the car’s headlights hadn’t been turned on.
Moments later, He Yufeng drove Yin Zejing away in his car.
When Xia Wennan moved to cross the road, the black car abruptly accelerated as it drove towards him, missing him by a hair’s breadth before driving off without a care after passing the Duan house gates.
Xia Wennan and Ming Luchuan watched the CCTV footage in silence.
Duan Ning was the only one who was taken aback.
“What’s going on?” he asked, rewinding the video and watching it again.
The car was unmistakably aiming for Xia Wennan.
Ming Luchuan reached out and held Xia Wennan by the shoulders, pulling him close till his shoulder pressed against his chest.
Xia Wennan could instantly feel the warmth radiating from Ming Luchuan’s body, as well as his somewhat erratic heartbeat.
Ming Luchuan seemed terrified.
Fumbling for Xia Wennan’s hand, his palm curled around it in a vice-like, almost painful grip.
Xia Wennan was the one patting Ming Luchuan’s arm in an attempt to comfort him.
“It’s okay, I’m okay.”
Duan Ning’s expression was grave.
He said, “Should we call the police? Someone attempted to run Wennan over, right?”
“Not now,” said Ming Luchuan.
“It’s Uncle Duan’s birthday tonight, we shouldn’t rain on his parade.
Send me the footage.
I’ll go to the police tomorrow.”
Duan Ning was frowning as he nodded reluctantly.
He then asked Xia Wennan, “Wennan, what’s going on?”
Xia Wennan shook his head.
“I’m not sure either.”
In truth, he was a little shell-shocked—if he’d been one step slower, it was highly likely that he would’ve been run over by the car, or if the car hadn’t driven off immediately after failing and backed up onto the footpath to hit him instead, he probably wouldn’t have been able to run away either.
“It’s all right,” Ming Luchuan’s voice was steady.
His palm was dry and firm as his slender fingers wrapped around Xia Wennan’s hand.
“Don’t leave my side tonight.”
Xia Wennan’s initial apprehension abruptly dissipated as he shuffled on his feet to jostle Ming Luchuan.
“How about tomorrow?” he asked with a smile.
Ming Luchuan bent his head down to look at him and said solemnly, “Follow me around too.”
“Want to tie me up to your body?” ask Xia Wennan.
“If you’re willing,” Ming Luchuan answered.
“I’ll think about it,” Xia Wennan whispered.
Duan Ning’s forehead creased as he listened to them.
“Will you two give it a rest?”
“All right.” Ming Luchuan pulled Xia Wennan’s hand until it was behind him and laced their fingers together, their bodies naturally slotting against the other.
He said to Duan Ning, “When you’re free, come take our wedding photos.”
Duan Ning turned to him.
“You didn’t take any during your wedding?”
“He was still hung up on his white moonlight at the time and married me reluctantly,” Xia Wennan interjected.
“There were no such things as wedding photos or a wedding reception.”
Ming Luchuan tightened his grip on Xia Wennan’s hand, motioning for him to shut his mouth.
Xia Wennan endured the pain and managed to finish his lengthy sentence.
Duan Ning giggled at Xia Wennan’s words, and said, “Give me a break! If he had been even half as devoted to his white moonlight as he is to you now, that white moonlight wouldn’t have stayed a white moonlight.”
“There aren’t any white moonlights,” Ming Luchuan said icily.
“You’re both imagining things.”
