Chapter 671 Their Past Connection
With the utterance of her real name, Mei turned to the culprit.
There, she saw June standing in the middle of the rain, his clothes stuck to his skin and his hair nearly covering his eyes.
However, even then, she couldn't find it within herself to move.
June, on the other hand, knew that he had to run to where Mei Ling was and pull her under the shade.
But at that moment, something compelled him to stay still.
Voices.
Suddenly, there were voices inside his head.
"Run!"
"Run away and hide it!"
"We need to save him!"
June's mind raced with memories that weren't his.
It was dark, cold, and rainy, like the moment he was currently in. However, it felt like he was in a different body.
The scene now and the scene in his mind glitched, showing the present reality and what seemed to be a distant, forgotten memory.
"You need to take this," a woman said, her voice young and beautiful.
"You need this, right? I heard you talking to your friend and saying that you need it."
"So, take it before they take it away from my brother."
With that, the girl handed something to him.
He looked down at it but didn't find anything—almost like the item vanished right before his eyes.
Then, she started screaming once again.
However, at that moment, her face became clear.
A month.
A name.
A beauty under the rain.
"May?" he muttered.
"Run now!"
"They're coming!"
"You need to make it quick!"
"Gosh," she said. "Why am I even sharing this with you?"
"Come on. Think," June said, ignoring her latter statements. "There must be a reason why you were running. Were you running away from something...or perhaps, someone?"
"No," she shook her head. "Wait, I don't know. It felt like I was chasing after someone. However, the car accident happened after the chase had ended. Does that make sense?"
"So, maybe it was both?" June asked.
"You were running to someone before running away from another?"
Mei closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to remember that day.
For some reason, all of her past memories never came back to her—except for this—the day of the accident.
It was still pretty hazy in her mind, but with June's presence, she felt that it was showing more vividly in her dreams.
"I was running," she said in a soft voice. "I was also holding onto something."
"I felt...anxious—almost as if somebody's life was on the line if I didn't manage to give away what was in my hands."
"Then, I finally found him—the person who could help me. He walked swiftly, but I didn't give up."
"Despite the cold rain, I kept pushing through."
"Then, he finally stopped," she said, a small gasp escaping her lips as the scene before her finally turned clear.
Her surroundings were more apparent.
She was outside of what seemed to be a warehouse.
However, the man before her was still unfamiliar—almost as if there was a shadow occluding his face.
"Finally, I gave him something," she said, dictating the story that was painting itself in her mind.
Mei gasped loudly as she opened her eyes, finally looking at June.
"It's you!" she exclaimed, pointing at him.
June's breath got caught in the back of his throat.
Somehow, he already had a hunch. However, it surprised him nonetheless.
It seemed like the story ran deeper—much, much deeper than he had imagined.
This web that they were entangled with—it was almost impossible to think that all of it was random.
It was like fate.
"I gave you something," she continued.
The two of them shared a thoughtful look before saying the next words simultaneously.
"A briefcase."
