It was early in the morning, and only a few vehicles were passing by. In the quiet car, the female video on the radio blared.
“Yanran, please assist me with the navigation.” “The road ahead is under construction, so we have to detour,” Gu Siye said, breaking the silence.
The low-key luxury vehicle has a lemongrass scent. Lin Yanran, who was looking out the window at the beautiful river view, turned his head when he heard the sound and his gaze fell on Gu Siye, who was driving seriously.
Lin Yanran stopped Gu Siye as he saw the other party about to take his phone.
“Use my mobile phone.” Afraid that the other party would misunderstand, Lin Yanran explained, “Your mobile phone needs to be unlocked, so it’s not convenient to drive.”
Gu Siye smiled, “Okay.”
Lin Yanran quickly turned on the phone and started looking for navigation in the software. This mobile phone belongs to the original owner, and he is not very familiar with it now. It took almost ten seconds for Lin Yanran to find the navigation. After quickly inputting the name of his community on the navigation, Lin Yanran placed his mobile phone in front of Gu Siye.
In the navigation, a cheerful female voice began to announce the distance to the destination and the time it would take.
Lin Yanran’s gaze fell on the song that was playing, and finally couldn’t help but ask Gu Siye.
“Do you like Huang Huanqian too?”
Gu Siye nodded and said softly, “Hmm, I do.”
Gu Siye’s slender hands moved the steering wheel in a circle, and after the black car returned to the new route, he said, “I used to listen to her songs a lot when I was in high school.”
“I also started listening to her songs when I was in high school.” This coincidence made Lin Yanran seem to have found a friend, and his tone became brighter.
Huang Huanqian is a long-dead singer. When she first appeared in the last century, her style was relatively small, and while she was not considered controversial, she was also not considered popular. As a result, the popularity of the songs and the number of fans were not as high as they were at the time. It is much less when compared to the king and queen of heaven.
Coupled over time, there are very few young people who know her now, let alone those who like her songs.
So looking at it now, their group of fans is indeed very small.
Lin Yanran once knew only one person among his peers who shared his interests, and that person was his high school best friend. In the past, the two of them did everything together, and it’s okay to say that they have similar interests and hobbies.
But Gu Siye, the entertainment industry’s center of attention, liked a small singer like him (Lin Yanran), which surprised him. This sensation is similar to discovering a confidant in parallel time and space. Gu Siye’s listening style is nearly identical to his own. Since Lin Yanran got in the car every song played in the car is his favorite. All of them had been heard countless times when he had not transmigrated.
With this discovery tonight, Lin Yanran, who came to this novel world, can finally find a sense of familiarity in this illusory and strange environment. He also finally understood why he had an inexplicable affection for Gu Siye when he saw Gu Siye for the first time. So it’s like this to feel attracted to something?
“The Night Breeze Blows Quietly” was the first song I heard from her. I skipped class with my friends that night and went for a walk by the river. The river breeze was howling. This song was chosen at random from the playlist. Her voice was gentle, which matched the mood of the night.”
Lin Yanran’s expression became much more vivid because a song reminded him of the past.
In Gu Siye’s eyes, the whole person was radiating. He listened quietly, thinking that the image Lin Yanran described sounded familiar, but he couldn’t picture it.
It was late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. The night is hazy, and the breeze blowing by the river is quite artistic.
Gu Siye turned to face Lin Yanran at this point, about to tell him that now is also a good time to listen to “The Night Breeze Blows Quietly,” when he heard a huge splash of water coming from the river.
A black car rushed straight into the river in a daze.
Lin Yanran, who had intended to continue talking with Gu Siye, happened to notice this scene and exclaimed anxiously: “Stop right now, Gu Siye! A car has crashed into the water!!”
Gu Siye slammed on the brakes and pulled the car in. Lin Yanran, who was sitting in the passenger cab, had already thrown the phone away, opened the door, and jumped out before the car came to a complete stop.
Lin Yanran quickly ran to the river, scanned the surrounding environment while running, and found that there were no other measures for rescue except for the tree.
When he was about to reach the river, Lin Yanran heard shouts of “help” and a little girl crying from inside the car.
Knowing that there were children in the car, Lin Yanran didn’t hesitate for a moment, jumped into the river, and began to swim toward the car. He has been swimming since elementary school, and his swimming speed is very fast. He swam to the side of the car in a few seconds.
Lin Yanran got closer and noticed that the front of the car had sunk one-third into the water. The situation was dire. If it takes another few minutes, the entire car will sink.
Lin Yanran hurriedly tried to pull the door handle of the driver’s cab, but it couldn’t be pulled at all.
The door was locked.
“Help, help!!! Someone help us.”
The panicked driver, in his fifties or sixties, was holding the little girl in the passenger cab and screaming helplessly toward the sky. The little girl he was hugging tight, her face covered in blood, was crying and pleading for her mother.
Seeing this, Lin Yanran quickly slammed on the car window, trying to bring back the driver’s sanity.
“Master, don’t panic! Don’t panic first! Unlock the car door!!!”
Lin Yanran tried to calm down the driver in the car first.
However, the driver in the car was probably frightened by this situation. He didn’t recover for a long time and was still crying to himself.
“Master! Master!!!”
Lin Yanran slapped the car window vigorously a few more times, seeing that the other party still had no response, he quickly swam to the side of the co-pilot.
“Unlock the car door!!! Unlock it!!!”
Since human life was at stake, there was no time to waste.
Lin Yanran slapped the window vigorously, almost shouting, trying to convey the most important information to the people in the car. This time, his cries were heard.
The driver was stunned for a second and finally noticed that someone was outside the car. Overjoyed, the driver patted the car window quickly, “Help, help!! Please save Lele.”
Lin Yanran nodded at the driver, and then continued to remind him, “Unlock the car first, hurry up!”
With Lin Yanran’s reminder, the driver appeared to have remembered that he could unlock it, so he turned around and began searching in the car.
But he was too flustered right now, and he couldn’t remember where he’d thrown the car keys.
Time passed minute by minute, obviously only a few seconds, but it felt like centuries. At this time, the water in the car has overflowed to the knees. The little girl with blood all over her face burst into tears again in fear.
Lin Yanran couldn’t stand it any longer and smashed the window glass with his hands a few more times. However, this type of explosion-proof glass cannot be smashed open in any way.
The car was poorly sealed, and it didn’t take long for the water to submerge half of it.
The driver finally found the key left on the dashboard and unlocked the door, but due to the high pressure inside and outside the car, both of them couldn’t push the door open together.
Seeing that Lin Yanran had no other option but to yell at the other party again “Check if there is a safety hammer in the car.” As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that Gu Siye, who was with him, was driving, so he turned around and went to look for the other party in the car for the safety hammer.
As soon as he turned around, he saw that the other party had already swam towards him, holding a safety hammer just in his hand. It’s like knowing what he wants.
Lin Yanran joyfully extended his hand and took the other’s hand directly. Gu Siye’s calmness and meticulousness in this type of crisis are unrivaled by ordinary people who can still consider taking such life-saving items.
“Thanks for your thoughtfulness.”
Lin Yanran, who had been frowning all this time, finally had a little smile in his eyes. To prevent the people inside from being injured, he first smashed the glass of the rear window, and then reached out from the rear window and smashed it towards the passenger compartment.
With a bang, the glass was finally smashed open.
“You save the little girl first, and I’ll smash the glass over there.”
Gu Siye calmly took the safety hammer from Lin Yanran and swam to the driver’s side.
The little girl in the car was obviously frightened and was still crying.
Lin Yanran stretched out his hand towards her, “Little sister, don’t cry, brother is here.”
After speaking, he directed the driver inside and carried the little girl out of the car window bit by bit carefully.
“Don’t cry, it’s okay.”
Lin Yanran carefully hugged the little girl and swam towards the river with one hand. After finally saving the little girl ashore, Lin Yanran put her on the lawn.
The wound on the little girl’s face was still bleeding, and her face was covered with tears. She cried and looked at the driver in the river, calling grandpa.
Lin Yanran hastily wiped the blood off her face with his sleeve, and told her, “Wait here, okay, brother will go and save grandpa right away.”
The little girl couldn’t control her tears, but she looked at it gratefully. After the little girl was settled, Lin Yanran jumped into the water to save her grandfather.
Compared with the little girl’s petite body, the driver’s 200-jin fat body couldn’t get out of the window at all. After several unsuccessful attempts, the driver slumped down on the seat helplessly. The car door couldn’t be opened, and the car window couldn’t be used to jump out. Looking at the water that was almost flooding his chest, he felt a burst of despair.
“I can’t get out…”
The strong desire to survive was gone in the voice.
“Don’t worry, we will pull you out, but we need you to calm down first and wait a while.” Lin Yanran hurriedly said, trying to stabilize the other party’s mood.
“Wait?” The driver was a little puzzled. He felt uneasy at the critical moment of life and death but somehow felt that the two young men in front of him would not lie to him.
Gu Siye supported Lin Yanran’s hand to hold the car door and patted him on the back lightly.
“Are you okay?”
Lin Yanran wiped the river water from his face and nodded towards the other party, “Okay.”
Seeing Lin Yanran slowing down, Gu Siye helped Lin Yanran explain to the driver, “Wait till the water inside and outside the car is at the same level, and there is no pressure difference at this time.”
Hearing Gu Siye’s explanation, the driver finally became less flustered. The car sank faster and faster, and there was more and more water in the car. It didn’t take long before the water inside and outside the car finally leveled off.
Lin Yanran and Gu Siye exchanged glances.
“Master, come together.”
As soon as Lin Yanran finished speaking, he and Gu Siye reached out and pulled the car door forcefully.
The driver inside heard the words and pushed the door outward with his body.
With the efforts of three people, the door finally opened this time!
The moment he rushed out of the car, the driver cried happily.
He knew that he was completely dragged back from the gate of hell by two young men…
The driver who was pulled ashore by Lin Yanran and Gu Siye collapsed on the ground, he tightly hugged his good granddaughter and cried.
“Lele are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” The little girl started crying again, but after seeing Grandpa, she was not as scared as before.
Seeing that grandpa and grandson were fine, Lin Yanran felt relieved. The rescue only took several minutes in all.
There was such a big commotion here that people around had already noticed, and everyone trotted around one after another.
Seeing that there were quite a few people around, Lin Yanran quickly took Gu Siye’s hand and ran towards the car.
“There are more and more people coming, let’s go.”
Lin Yanran was still with Gu Siye and it was already the middle of the night, if he was photographed by everyone, wouldn’t he be on the trending list tomorrow?
Today he had already troubled the other party a lot, he didn’t want to trouble Gu Siye anymore.
Gu Siye did not shake off Lin Yanran’s hand but ran with him with a smile on his lips.
Lin Yanran initially held Gu Siye’s hand, but it was later Gu Siye who held the other’s hand.
They didn’t part ways until they were in the car.
Lin Yanran, who hadn’t realized they were still holding hands, looked out the window and was relieved to see that everyone’s attention was focused on the car, which was still submerged in water.
“No one should have photographed us just now.”
Gu Siye glanced at the hands that were tightly held with Lin Yanran just now, and smiled softly, “So afraid of spreading scandals with me?”
Lin Yanran shook his head and tugged at the soaked collar of his shirt. He didn’t want the wet clothes to stick to his skin because the slimy sensation bothered him.
Lin Yanran lowered his head, and answered while arranging his clothes, “My popularity and reputation are not very good. And if you are with me at such a late hour. I am afraid that your fans will see and scold you.”
Gu Siye understood what Lin Yanran meant, but he didn’t answer, his eyes fell on Lin Yanran.
The other party was already lovely, but Lin Yanran’s hair, which was wet at the time, and even his eyelashes were splattered with water. With pitiful eyes, he lowered his head and straightened his clothes, resembling a fragile and beautiful porcelain doll.
But after a short contact, Gu Siye knew that this porcelain doll was beautiful but not fragile, and its heart was firm and strong.
Gu Siye resisted the urge to assist the other party in wiping away the water droplets on the eyelashes, instead gently looking away and saying, “It’s okay, I’m not afraid.”
Gu Siye sent Lin Yanran to the community gate half an hour later.
“Teacher Gu, do you want to go to my house and change first?”
Lin Yanran looked at Gu Siye, who was as soaked as himself and looked like a drowned chicken, and thought that it was really uncomfortable to wear such a suit, so he asked him.
Although Lin Yanran knew that it seemed a little bad to invite the other party like this, thinking of the friendship between the two of them saving people together, he felt that it was nothing.
Gu Siye smiled at Lin Yanran as a gentleman, “No need, my house is not far away, you should go back and take a shower first so that you don’t catch a cold.”
Lin Yanran was speechless when the other party said that.
After saying goodbye to the other party, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Lin Yanran heard Gu Siye behind him say again as the car door closed, “There is no shooting task tomorrow, you should take a good rest.”
Gu Siye finally restarted the car after watching Lin Yanran’s back completely vanish into the night. He eventually returned home after a lengthy detour.
Here, when Gu Siye and Lin Yanran were saving lives, there was a commotion on the internet about the necklace. After the program was recorded, some staff members went to the forum to break the news and talked about Xuan Yihan and Lin Yanran. But because this fact is too magical, and there are no videos and photos to testify, most people don’t believe it is true.
Especially Xuan Yihan’s fans directly pointed out that this was Lin Yanran’s deliberate hype, and made-up materials to blacken their star and to whitewash himself by the way. So those who ridiculed Xuan Yihan, those who scolded Lin Yanran, the fans, and black people insisted on their own opinions, and they quarreled hard.
After Lin Yanran returned home, he quickly took a hot bath, then washed all the wet clothes on his body and dried them before going to bed.
Previously, the recording of the program lasted until late at night, plus the back-and-forth driving and diving to save lives; after all of this, Lin Yanran was unable to sleep until nearly five o’clock in the morning. As a result of staying up late, the biological clock also failed to function. Lin Yanran didn’t get out of bed until nearly twelve o’clock the next morning. He awoke, but not naturally; he was jolted awake by the phone.
The call came from the “Super Idol” show’s production team. The other party was clearly agitated as soon as the call was connected “Mr. Yanran, hurry down; I’ll take you to the programme team! It is extremely important! Urgent!”
Lin Yanran rubbed his eyes and asked, breathlessly, “What’s wrong?”
Isn’t there any recording today?
Staff: “You are trending on the search list!”
