Lin Su didn't sleep well last night and woke up early this morning. She opened the bedroom window and saw that it had been snowing all night, and everything in sight was white.

Zongyan didn't come back last night, nor did he reply to her messages.

Was his personal freedom restricted and his phone confiscated by his family?

Lin Su was lost in thought, gazing at the snow outside, when a gust of cold wind blew in, and she quickly closed the window.

After washing up, she went to the kitchen and made herself a simple bowl of noodles. Before the noodles were even cooked, the doorbell rang.

It was Shao Huaizhi.

Lin Su opened the door. He was still carrying a chill, and his shoulders were covered with a layer of snow. The weather was even colder, so cold that no one wanted to go out.

"Why are you here?" Lin Su asked, puzzled as to why he had come so early.

"I have something to tell you." Shao Huaizhi took off his coat and shook off the thin layer of snow. He looked up and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

Lin Su sat down on the sofa with him, her heart suddenly racing. As if on cue, she asked, "About Zong Yan?"

"Hmm." Shao Huaizhi also received the news this morning when he woke up. Zong Yan had been in a car accident last night. He was not in life-threatening danger, but he hit his head and had not yet woken up.

He originally wanted to go to the hospital to see him as soon as possible, but the Zong family stopped him and wouldn't let anyone see him. After thinking about it, Shao Huaizhi came to find Lin Su.

He raised his hand and placed it on Lin Su's slightly cold hand, looking at her and saying, "Zong Yan was in a car accident last night, but don't worry, he's not in any danger."

Lin Su's eyes widened, and she immediately tried to stand up and run out, "Which hospital is he in?"

Shao Huaizhi took her hand, put his arm around her shoulder and helped her sit back down, gently comforting her, "Don't worry, he hasn't woken up yet, you can't go see him."

Lin Su asked in a panic, "Wasn't he out of danger? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Shao Huaizhi didn't know the specifics either. He gently patted Lin Su's trembling shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll try to find out for you. Even if you go now, you won't be able to see him."

Lin Su's eyes instantly reddened, and she grabbed his hand. "Are you really not in any danger? Don't lie to me."

Shao Huaizhi lowered his eyes, pulled her into his arms, and patted her back gently. "I didn't lie to you."

"Then why can't I go see him?"

"Because Zongyan's family won't let you see him." Shao Huaizhi's voice was gentle, but his words were cruel.

Lin Su trembled, tears welling in her eyes. "Is he really alright?"

"It's alright," Shao Huaizhi said. "If he's alright, you'll be alright too."

Lin Su slowly stopped crying. She got out of his arms a little embarrassed, looking at him with slightly red eyes, "Thank you for coming all the way to tell me."

If it weren't for him, Lin Su would have been completely unaware of anything else about Zong Yan.

Once they lost contact, Lin Su wouldn't even know where to look for him.

She doesn't even know which hospital Zongyan is in now.

"Is he really alright? Can you go to the hospital to check on him again for me?" Lin Su thought that Zong Yan's family should let Shao Huaizhi take care of him.

Lin Su knew they didn't like her.

"I'll go check again later. I just came over to let you know first, in case you worry." Shao Huaizhi looked at her with gentle eyes. Lin Su's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"Have you had breakfast? I'll have someone bring some over," Shao Huaizhi asked.

Lin Su then remembered that her noodles were still in the pot. Fortunately, she had already turned off the heat when she opened the door, and they would be ready to eat in two more minutes.

Hearing that Shao Huaizhi hadn't eaten breakfast either, Lin Su divided the vegetarian noodles into two portions. She gave the extra portion to Shao Huaizhi, as she herself had no appetite.

She was worried about Zong Yan, her face filled with anxiety, and the corners of her eyes were reddened by her anxious expression.

Shao Huaizhi picked up the noodles with his chopsticks, took a bite, and found it very bland. After swallowing it, he looked up and asked, "Did you forget to add salt?"

Lin Su said blankly, "I'll let it go."

In fact, she had been absent-minded since she woke up in the morning, and her heart was pounding when she went to sleep last night. This morning she heard bad news.

The snow was so heavy last night, Zong Yan must have been driving out late at night to come back and find her. He didn't reply to her messages because he wanted to give her a surprise.

But now the surprise has turned into a shock.

He got into a car accident because he rushed back to find her that night, so his parents must dislike her even more now.

"You didn't put it in, try it yourself." Shao Huaizhi ate the tasteless noodles, thinking that it was the first time he had eaten her cooking, but he still slowly finished it.

Lin Su didn't touch the noodles in front of her. When Shao Huaizhi spoke to her, she was slow to look up, staring blankly, not knowing what he said.

She woke up in the morning and just casually combed her hair a few times. Her long hair was loose behind her head, and her face was very pale with little color. Only her eyes were red.

She looked up at him blankly for a while, and then seemed to recognize him. A sense of trust and reliance gradually appeared in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Shao Huaizhi had no choice but to pull her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid." Shao Huaizhi lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. Suddenly, he noticed that she was struggling. He frowned and slowly let go.

Lin Su lowered her head, her voice trembling with tears, "...Thank you, I'm alright. Could you please try to find out more about Zong Yan?"

She was worried about Zong Yan, and so was Shao Huaizhi. He shouldn't have tried to poach him at this time.

Shao Huaizhi silently berated himself for a few seconds, "Okay, you wait for my message at home."

Shao Huaizhi patted Lin Su's head one last time, his Adam's apple bobbing, before turning and leaving.

He went to the hospital again. Zong Yan seemed to have woken up. A group of doctors were surrounding him and examining him. No one stopped him from entering the hospital.

Shao Huaizhi walked in and saw Zong's mother standing behind the doctor. He called out softly, and Zong's mother turned around and saw him. Her eyes were a little red, and she just nodded to him.

Zong Yan was lying on the hospital bed wearing a hospital gown, with a large white net covering his head, a ventilator in his mouth, and abrasions of various sizes on his face.

His consciousness was still somewhat hazy; he only knew that his head was hurting terribly, so much so that he wanted to get a painkiller injection.

The doctor is asking him questions.

Do you know your own name?

"Zong...yan."

As long as they knew who they were, the doctor asked a few more routine questions to confirm that they were all healthy and conscious before leaving the room.

Shao Huaizhi was finally able to walk to the front. He looked at Zong Yan on the hospital bed and said softly, "It's good that you're alright. Lin Su was very worried about you."

Who is Lin Su?

A hint of confusion flashed in Zong Yan's eyes, but he was too tired to talk because of his terrible headache, and he fell asleep due to exhaustion.

After he fell asleep, Zong's mother called Shao Huaizhi outside, her face somewhat grim, wanting him to persuade Zong Yan.

If he hadn't insisted on going back to see that woman late at night, would he have gotten into a car accident?

Mother Zong: "You should try to persuade him, Huaizhi. You're a good boy. You should have met that woman before... I really don't know why Zongyan would fall for that woman."

Lin Su's relationship with him will only drag him down. Ever since Zong Yan got together with her, he has been acting like a madman, going against his family.

Shao Huaizhi paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Okay, I will try to persuade him."
