When Shen Nie was nowhere to be found, Ming Mei's first reaction was panic, she didn't know why she felt this way.
However, she was sure of one thing: she should see Shen Nie, she must see him.
The man who always sat quietly reading, the man whose smile seemed to bloom flowers beside her ears, had suddenly disappeared. It felt like she had suddenly lost a pillar of support, even though she knew she had never relied on this man.
Ming Mei was so anxious that she forgot to control her emotions. In her rush, she blurted out to the soldier accompanying her, "You...you...Shen Nie is gone...You're...worried?"
Ming Mei realized her eagerness and hastily concealed her slip-up.
She laughed off her concern, "No, I'm not worried. I heard you say how dangerous Shen Nie is. I'm afraid if he escapes, we'll all be in danger."
