Once Upon A One Night Stand

Li Han didn't believe it. It was impossible.

But...

He slowly turned to look at the river. Everything was burnt to the ground. The burning smell was so strong that it reminded him this was all real, not an illusion.

The firemen were busy controlling the fire and searching for the survivors around him. He stood there and hunched over as if he had suffered from great pain. "That's impossible, absolutely impossible..." he murmured to himself.

As time went by, it was beginning to get dark. When Ling Junze got the news, he took his medical team to the scene. The moment he got out of the car, he was immediately frozen. The fire scene was such a mess.

His heart was filled with bitterness when he saw Li Han standing at the railing. He didn't dare to think too much right now. He was afraid that he would drown in the grief.

Ling Junze close his eyes and walked over quickly. At the same time, a firefighter walked towards Li Han.

He was wearing a gas mask, so his voice was not very clear, "Mr. Li, we found this..."

He raised his arm and slowly opened his fist in front of Li Han. In his fist was a very thin necklace covered with a lot of burnt turbid matter. Although it was badly burnt, the pendant could be vaguely recognized. Seeing the necklace, Li Han could not help but tremble. If he still had a glimmer of hope then, the necklace had completely shattered the last bit of hope now.

It was the necklace he gave to Shu Tian. At that time, he tried so hard to make her wear it all the time, but now it was in the hands of the firemen...

The necklace was still here, but she was not.

Li Han's brain was blank. The fireman put the necklace into a transparent bag and sealed it. Then he handed it to Li Han.

When his fingertips touched the cold bag, his heart was twisting. Thinking of the smile on Shu Tian's face when she wore this necklace, he suddenly felt very dizzy.

Ling Junze held him up immediately. He was also very heartbroken. He said in a trembling tone, "Li Han..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Han suddenly struggled to throw himself at the broken railing. Ling Junze thought he wanted to commit suicide. He quickly pulled him back with the firemen beside him. "What are you doing? Are you crazy?!" He roared angrily at him and watched him collapse on the ground.

"Junze..." Li Han looked up at the sky and called out to him in a choked voice. Tears fell from the corner of his eyes. "Her necklace is here, but she's gone. Tell me why..."

He watched the firemen come and go in a hurry searching for the woman he loved, but why were they searching for her in the river?

Ling Junze squatted down beside him. Seeing that Li Han had lost his mind, he tried to comfort him. "They haven't found her yet. There's still hope."

Hope?

A strange and sad smile appeared on Li Han's face. "Yes, there's still hope. What if, what if she..."

He paused for a moment, then raised his hands to cover his face and burst into tears. "The fire is so huge that the car is melting. She's so small and weak. There is no way she..."

The reality is so cruel. Sometimes you had to accept it.

"Why did it happen?" He muttered to himself, and no one answered.

How could something like this happen to the woman that was the love of his life?

An hour ago, she was still so alive. He even remembered the look on her face when she was talking to him and the fragrant smell from her body. But in the blink of an eye, everything was gone. She was now sunk under the river.

The police siren was still ringing, like a silent warning for the accident. It was completely dark now. The night wind cut through the man's eyes, making him burst into tears.

The search and rescue continued.

Ling Junze did not dare to leave him. With his current mentality, he could do anything. He knew how important Shu Tian was to this man. She was the key to everything for him. Without this key, Li Han could do nothing.

He was like a walking dead without soul and temperature right now.

So even if the reality was cruel, he still hoped that God could give him a chance to live by returning Shu Tian to him.

Half an hour had gone by, she was still nowhere to be found.

An hour had gone by, the result was the same.

As time went by, it got darker and darker. In the end, the firemen had to turn on the lights to continue the search.

The golden time for the search and rescue was about to pass. Everyone knew that there would be no miracles in this river, but no one dared to tell Li Han.

As the search continued, several teams of firemen took turns to find her, but Li Han still didn't get the answer he hoped for.

In the end, they had to stop the search.

The fire marshal looked at the man sitting on the ground. He walked over and said to him in a trembling tone, "Mr. Li, the search is over. Maybe..."

"What did you say?" Li Han shouted in a hoarse and painful tone. His voice was not very loud, but it made people panic.

"The search is over Mr. Li. I think we can withdraw our team..."

"Over?!" Li Han stood up from the ground immediately. His sadness turned into anger. The man in front of him became the bad man who forced him to admit that Shu Tian was dead. He was furious and lost his mind. "You haven't found her, how dare you withdraw now? If she was dead, I want to see her body. If you haven't found her body, you can't stop the search!"

The fire marshal's face was still stained with soot from the fire. Because Li Han grabbed the collar of his uniform, he couldn't breathe for a moment. He gave a dry cough and said, "Well, Mr. Li, please calm down..."

How could he calm down? The woman who affected all his spirits and emotions had disappeared. How could he hold his composure?

"Continue!" Li Han spat out the word fiercely. His eyes were bulging as if they were about to fall off. "As long as you don't find her, she must be alive!"

"But..."

"Shut up! Just continue the search!" Li Han had never lost control like this before. Over the past 30 years, he had never felt so desperate.

The woman that he desperately loved was now gone, but he could do nothing about it.

No one could understand this pain. Shu Tian was everything to him. Without her, his world would collapse and not be complete.
