Timeless Love (When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds) Chapter 67: Tan Jiao 09 (10)

I felt Wu Yu’s gaze on me.

Leading me by the hand warmly, Wu Miao sat down with me on the sofa. Wu Yu sat across from us on the bed. I noticed the calmness in his eyes and a hint of affection as he looked at the two of us.

I felt somewhat annoyed, as I already felt like forgiving him for giving up too easily.

“Listen to me carefully, Wu Miao. We have something important to tell you, and you must remember it. You must listen to me this time.”

“Oh…”

Wu Yu suddenly turned to me and said, “If you don’t trust me, then you would at least trust her. She’s Qi Zhu, the famous writer that you adore.”

I felt somewhat awkward when he introduced me like that. Sure enough, Wu Miao covered her mouth in shock and exclaimed, “Ah!!! You’re Qi Zhu! My goddess! Ah!! You’re here!”

Like his brother, Wu Miao was quick-witted. Immediately, she asked, “Don’t tell me the important announcement is that you two are together? Was it because I liked you so much that my brother thought he would marry you? OMG! Qi Zhu goddess, how are you so beautiful? I am about to cry…”

Sure enough, her eyes became teary.

Feeling somewhat emotional, I suddenly recalled the article about her dying and could not accept such a thing happening to her. I patted her on the shoulder and comforted her. “Don’t worry, okay? We’ll be friends. Even if I broke up with your brother, I’ll still be your friend.”

Wu Miao looked up, glanced at Wu Yu, and then glanced at me. Wu Yu was also looking at me, his gaze causing me to panic again. However, I thought I noticed Wu Yu’s face turning a little pale.

“Wu Miao, listen to me. On the 5th of August, you must not go to Chunxi alley on your own.”

Right then, I felt extremely dizzy. It was to the point that I could not sit properly. My vision became blurry and shaky. Through my blurry vision, I saw Wu Yu was also similarly down.

Although I heard Wu Miao’s nervous voice, I could not reply.

Then I saw my surroundings becoming twisted.

Everything in the room seems to be turning.

Wu Miao was also going away from me, falling along with everything in the room into a whirlpool. Meanwhile, I could not move as if I was dead.

At that moment, I felt someone holding my hand. I had no idea how Wu Yu had managed to come close to me, but at that moment, I could only recall the words he said before:

From now till the end, I will not forget you.

“Wu Miao! The 5th of August! Remember! Stay at home and do not go anywhere!” I heard his distant scream.

Soon, I fell into darkness and lost all sensations.

When I finally woke up, I saw the familiar ceiling of my Dali apartment.

Outside the window, the sun was bright and calm as always.

Without checking the time, I already knew that I was back to one year later. The summer of 2017.

It was a rather hot day, but I felt occasional chills for some reason. I raised my hand and looked at it for some time. This is real.

I’m back.

What about him?

I felt a sudden hole developing in my heart as I shot out of bed, intending to go find him.

Then a thought sprang into my mind and stopped me. I pulled up my computer frantically and took a quick glance at the time. Sure enough, it was the day after Wu Yu and I had a meal. I quickly typed the name Wu Miao into the search bar.

The search gave me new results.

Wu Miao, Suzhou university, fourth year student. The fifth victim in a series of gruesome murders. Different from the other cases, the victim was first reported missing on the 7th of August, 2016. The police were able to deduce from the crime scene that it was the same perpetrator. This was the only time the perpetrator had broken into a home. The victim’s body was never found.

Chills ran down my spine. From being murdered to going missing. The crime had changed, which meant that the past had changed.

What happened? Was she saved?

I stood up and immediately left the house. Driving at the fastest speed I had ever done, I went straight to the repair shop.

Wu Yu, are you still there?
