Liang Chen looked at the caller ID on his cell phone and did a double-take. Amazed, he turned to a smoker standing nearby and pointed at his screen, asking, “The name on the incoming call display is Haohao, right?”
The man took a drag from his cigarette, glanced at Liang Chen’s screen, then looked at him as if he were mad: “Are you messing with me?”
Liang Chen didn’t mind his incredulous gaze. With trembling fingers, he accepted the call and brought the phone to his ear, giving a faint, gentle “Hello.”
Before Jing Haohao on the other end of the call could reply, Liang Chen hurriedly asked, “Is this Haohao?”
…
The man’s voice trembled slightly, the sound sinking deep into Jing Haohao’s heart. She swallowed hard before quietly responding with a simple “Mhm.”
…
To Liang Chen, Jing Haohao’s solitary, soft response, though brief and gentle, was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. It was even more euphonious than her once saying to him, “Liang Chen, will you be my boyfriend?”
All of a sudden, Liang Chen felt as if the ice in his veins was beginning to thaw, his world warming and once again finding motion. His eyes heated up as he croaked out a choked question, “Where are you now?”
…
Jing Haohao detected a hint of tears in Liang Chen’s voice, her heart immediately tightening.
She was on a bus and unable to check the news, completely unaware that the accident up ahead involved the very bus ticket she had bought.
Unable to figure out what had happened to Liang Chen, Jing Haohao asked, her voice revealing her deep concern, “Liang Chen, is…something wrong?”
…
What could be wrong with him? He was just scared to death by her.
Over the phone, Liang Chen’s inner turmoil was ultimately reduced to the words, “Haohao, I want to see you.”
Only by seeing her in front of him, safe and sound, could his heart be at peace.

Jing Haohao held the phone, pausing for a moment before saying, “I’m on the freeway to Xirt County. There seems to be a major accident ahead, the road is blocked. I’m stuck halfway.”
…
So Jing Haohao was on this road?
Liang Chen quickly responded, “Haohao, stay where you are.” He swiftly ended the call and started to backtrack the way he had come from.
As Liang Chen ran, he scanned the people on the side of the freeway. After a stop-and-go hour, he spotted Jing Haohao obediently holding her phone by the roadside. He froze.
After a moment, he raised his foot and walked toward Jing Haohao with unhurried strides.
…
Jing Haohao didn’t know that Liang Chen was also on the freeway. Expecting him to come from the opposite direction, she had been looking elsewhere.
Liang Chen stopped within half a step of her, swallowed, and called out, “Haohao.”
Jing Haohao stiffened, recognizing his voice. Before she could turn, Liang Chen reached out and pulled Jing Haohao into his arms.
