Chapter 53: Power

  Tian Nuanyu turned her head and saw that it was Lan Shengyan who was holding her, his face not as calm as usual but rather gloomy.

  Tian Nuoyu instinctively wanted to struggle and resist, but her body was trembling uncontrollably, her entire person was weak and limp, her body only slightly moved before going limp in Lán Shēngyān's arms.

  Lan Shengyan's actions left everyone stunned, and by the time they reacted, Lan Shengyan had already carried Tian Nuoyu into the bedroom on the yacht.

  Entering the bedroom, Lan Shengyan put Tian Nuanyu on the bed and then took a quilt to cover her body.

  Tian Nuoyu got out of bed with a tremble, then leaned her body against the bedside and slid onto the carpet on the floor.

  She bent her knees, grasped the blanket with her hands and wrapped her body in it, then buried her head between her knees, shrinking into the blanket like an ostrich.

  She was still immersed in sorrow and despair, the quilt was like a shell, she just wanted to shrink into this shell, as if it could isolate her from the world.

  But the world didn't want to be isolated from her. Although somewhat vague, the sound of Blue's footsteps, the door closing, and the running water... these sounds flowed into Tian Nuoyu's ears intermittently like electromagnetic waves.

  It seemed like a long time had passed, when Lan Shengyan's voice suddenly sounded in Tian Nuanyu's ear: "Taking a hot bath will make you feel better. There are no women's clothes here, so just wear my clothes for now and change back into yours after they're dry."

  Lan Shengyan's voice was low and flat, unable to detect any emotion, nor could he feel any temperature.

  Tian Nuoyu's body had stopped trembling and was now curled up motionlessly like a statue, without any reaction.

  Jian Tian Nu Yu didn't react, Lan Sheng Yan silently gazed at her for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the door. When he reached the door and was about to open it, he suddenly turned back again.

  He walked to Tian Nuanyu's side, didn't say a word, bent down and picked her up directly into the bathroom, then put her whole body into the bathtub.

  The bathtub had already been filled with hot water, and Lan Shengyan pulled off the quilt on Tian Nuoyu's body and threw it to the ground beside her. Then he squatted down and looked at her at eye level.

  The quilt was pulled away, as if the protective shell had been taken away. Tian Nuoyu sat in the bathtub with her legs bent and her hands wrapped around them, curled up in the water.

  But she couldn't ignore the blue smoke beside her. A few seconds later, she slowly raised her head and gazed at the blue smoke with a desolate look in her eyes.

  "Once you walk out of here, everything will be over," Lan said in a low voice, staring straight into her eyes.

  His voice was still low and flat, even colder than before, but it seemed to carry a power that could shake one's heart, causing Tian Nuoyu's heart to suddenly tremble.

  Tian Nu's eyes stared quietly at Lan Shengyan's eyes, and Lan Shengyan also gazed steadily back at her.

  His eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth, with deep and somber black pupils.

  Tian Nu Yu stared blankly at his eyes, she felt herself entering the depths of this place, and he didn't refuse but instead opened a path for her. In the cold and quiet darkness, she saw a warm light flickering slightly. Although weak like a candle flame, it was enough to warm her desolate heart that had been floating in mid-air.

  Tian Nuoyu's heart sank in an instant, and she slowly spat out two words: "Thank you!"

  Lan didn't say a word, got up and walked out of the bathroom, only to return in a moment, putting a clean white sportswear set on the clothes rack.

  "Let's change into this set of clothes for now!" Lan Shengyan said as he turned around and left the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

  Tian Nuanyu's gaze was drawn to Lán Shēngyān as if by an invisible thread, her eyes unconsciously following his figure. The Lán Shēngyān reflected in her eyes had already changed into a clean and casual outfit, his hair also dry.

  At the moment when he closed the bathroom door on Blue Life Smoke Street, it was as if he had cut off the thread that tied him to her. His figure completely disappeared from Tian Nuanyu's sight, and then she heard the sound of the bedroom door being closed.

  Tian Nuoyu sat in the bathtub for a while, and after soaking in the hot water, her body had regained its warmth, and her limbs were no longer stiff and cold. The words of Lan Shengyan kept echoing in her ears: "Everything is already over."

  Yes, everything will pass, the passing of mother, being teased and ridiculed by others, as well as many happy or unhappy things, will all become the past.

  The journey of life will not retreat, but will continue to move forward relentlessly, and all experiences will become scenery painted on both sides of this journey, to prove the trajectory of life's existence.

  Hold your head high and move forward bravely, this is the best way to deal with a life that has become the past.

  Tian Nuoyu slowly straightened her legs, slowly took off her clothes, and turned on the hot water shower...
