Chapter 861 She regretted it, but it seemed there was no chance to make amends.

Lin Xiangyu was suddenly awakened at three in the morning.

She had a nightmare.

In the dream, Leyan fell into the sea and died.

Lin Xiangyu was still shaken after waking up.

After thinking about it, I still felt I should go and see Le Yan.

Lin Xiangyu had just sat up when Xia woke up beside her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's alright, I'll go check on Yangyang." Lin Xiangyu put on her slippers, walked over, and opened the door.

As soon as Lin Xiangyu stepped out of the room, she saw the open front door.

Her heart sank, and she turned to look at Le Yan's room.

The door was wide open, and the inside was pitch black.

Lin Xiangyu's heart sank, and she rushed into the room to turn on the light—

The room was empty.

Leyan's pink cartoon slippers were still by the foot of the bed.

But what about Le Yan?

"Yangyang? Yangyang, don't scare me—"

Lin Xiangyu rushed into the bathroom, clinging to the last shred of hope.

Le Yan is not here.

Where will she go?

Hearing the commotion, Xia hurriedly came over from next door, glanced around, and quickly realized what was happening.

"Let's split up and search!" Xia took out her phone. "You go find Sister Yao and Director Yu first, I'll call Mr. Fu..."

“Yangyang won’t allow Mr. Fu to be disturbed…”

"What are you still worrying about at a time like this?!" Xia interrupted Lin Xiangyu, saying sternly, "Do you really want to wait until it's too late to salvage the situation before telling Mr. Fu?"

Lin Xiangyu stared blankly at A Xia, tears immediately streaming down her face: "I...I understand, I'll go find Sister Yao and Director Yu right now!"

"She can't go far barefoot, let Director Yu take Teacher Zhao with him too!"

"good!"

Lin Xiangyu and A Xia split up into two groups.

Xia dialed Fu Nian'an's number.

At this moment, Xia didn't expect Fu Nian'an to answer immediately.

As soon as the call connected, Xia got straight to the point: "Mr. Fu, Miss Le is missing!"

...

Let's go back to late at night a week ago.

Fu Nian'an sat bolt upright in her sleep, clutching her chest with her large hand.

The sudden shock and pain made him subconsciously think of Le Yan.

Ignoring the fact that it was the middle of the night, he picked up his phone and dialed Xia's number.

The phone rang three times before it was answered.

Over there, Xia ran to the restroom and whispered, "Mr. Fu."

"How is Le Yan?"

After considering it for a moment, A-Xia decided to report the truth.

"The night shoot was changed at the last minute, and Teacher Yue had a tough time filming it. However, after Teacher Zhao Qing came to check on him, Teacher Yue's condition is now quite stable."

Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an's anxiety eased slightly. "Why was the play changed at the last minute?"

"Shi Yuwei suggested the change, and the director agreed," A Xia said. "Teacher Le also agreed, and Sister Yao thought it was fine, so it was changed."

"I understand." Fu Nian paused for a moment, then asked, "Did she mention me?"

"Just once." Xia didn't dare to hide anything. "Teacher Le told us not to bother you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an sighed helplessly.

He knew that Le Yan would not be able to accept infertility in the short term.

Given Le Yan's current stubbornness, Fu Nian'an dared not push her too hard, fearing it would backfire.

Once Fu Nian'an confirmed that she was alright, she felt relieved.

"Take good care of her," Fu Nian'an said in a low voice. "Contact me immediately if anything happens."

Ah Xia: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Nian'an couldn't fall asleep again.

He rarely suffers from insomnia, but for the past month or so, he has been experiencing it frequently.

With Le Yan away, the 27th floor became his favorite place to go when he had insomnia.

In the stillness of the night, the sound of the front door unlocking came from inside.

The noise startled Le Xiaomiao, who was sleeping on the sofa in the living room. Thinking that a thief had broken in, she crouched down and puffed up her fur, appearing defensive and ready to attack.

Fu Nian'an opened the front door, and the entryway light instantly turned on.

Upon recognizing Fu Nian'an, Le Xiaomiao instantly relaxed and gave him a soft meow.

Fu Nian'an walked in, closed the door, and changed into the slippers that Le Yan had specially prepared for him.

Le Xiaomiao walked to his feet and rubbed her round head against his trouser leg.

Fu Nian'an bent down, picked it up, and carried it to the sofa to sit down.

One person and one cat, the room was completely silent.

Le Xiaomiao obediently lay on his lap, making purring sounds.

Fu Nian'an looked at it, stroking its fur casually with his large hand, "Do you miss Yanyan?"

Le Xiaomiao meowed at him, as if answering "yes".

Fu Nian'an curled her lips, seemingly helpless, yet also self-deprecating, "She treats you better than she treats me."

Le Xiaomiao's cat ears twitched, and she raised her head, her round cat eyes staring at Fu Nian'an.

It was as if it was saying: "Human, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Fu Nian'an ignored Le Xiaomiao, leaned back on the sofa, and slowly closed her eyes.

Le Xiaomiao stared at him for a while, but in the end, she seemed unable to understand what he was thinking, so she simply lay down again, closed her eyes, and continued snoring.

The night was long, and Fu Nian'an sat on Le Xiao Miao's sofa in Le Yan's house until dawn.

For the next week, he suffered from insomnia almost every night.

I've tried drinking alcohol to help me sleep, but I still can't sleep soundly. Even when I do fall asleep, I'm often woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night.

The last time he dreamt of Le Yan falling into the sea, he desperately plunged into the water to try and grab her, but it was too late. Le Yan was falling slowly into the dark depths right before his eyes...

Startled awake from her dream again, Fu Nian'an could no longer maintain her composure.

He thought he had to go to Jingfeng Town. He wouldn't disturb Le Yan; he would quietly watch over her and make sure she was safe before he could feel at ease.

...

The plane arrived in Mincheng at 2 a.m. Fu Nian'an's arrival was sudden and rushed; he didn't even bring any luggage, only a mobile phone and his ID.

Chu Xing did not follow him, but had already arranged for a driver to pick him up and drop him off.

It takes an hour to get from the airport to Jingfeng Town.

Fu Nian'an originally planned to stay at the budget hotel she had booked last time for one night and then go to the film set the next day.

But as soon as his car entered Jinfeng Town, Xia called.

Fu Nian'an had a bad feeling when the phone rang at this time.

...

On the beach, a slender white figure was slowly walking towards the sea.

This area is quite lively during the day, but naturally no one will come here at this time.

There were lights on the shore, and fish raft lights were also on in the distance.

The waves crashed against the beach, and the sea breeze was stuffy, carrying the salty smell of the sea.

When the seawater reached my chest, my breathing suddenly became labored.

Le Yan stopped in her tracks, and her empty pupils suddenly focused.

She awoke as if from a dream, staring at the dark sea, her breath catching in her throat.

A wave of fear of the sea washed over her instantly. She looked around, unable to discern where the shore was.

Before she could react, a wave suddenly crashed towards her—

Seawater covered her mouth and nose, and Le Yan instantly lost her balance, being swept into the sea by a new wave.

The image of me drowning at thirteen flashed through my mind, and that fatal feeling of suffocation swept over me again...

Was she destined to drown?

"Lin Leyan—"

In a daze, she thought she heard Fu Nian'an's voice.

Is it a hallucination?

Fu Nian'an should be in Beicheng right now.

It must be her hallucination.

Le Yan choked on a mouthful of seawater, and her lungs and head ached as if they were about to explode.

Before losing consciousness, Le Yan finally regretted it.

If she had known her life would be so short, she certainly wouldn't have said those things.

She will definitely cherish every day she spends with Fu Nian'an.

What a pity, her last memories with Fu Nian'an were of breaking up and arguing.

Le Yan regretted it, but it seemed that there was no chance to regret or make amends.

The seawater took away Le Yan's last breath; her struggling body stopped, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea...
