The cold wind blew in his face, and the street outside seemed exceptionally quiet, as if nothing had happened. But Han Xiaodong knew that now was not the time to linger, and he had to take the missing girl out as soon as possible.

He held the girl in his arms, carefully climbed out of the window, and landed on the ground. He looked around, confirmed that the surroundings were safe, and quickly ran away. The missing girl was still in his arms, her breathing became more stable, and she seemed to have gradually woken up.

"Are you okay?" Han Xiaodong asked softly, his voice filled with concern.

The missing girl raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude and surprise. "Thank you for saving me." She said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Han Xiaodong smiled and shook his head. "You're welcome. I'm just doing the best I can." His voice was firm and warm.

The missing girl nodded silently and looked at Han Xiaodong gratefully. Although they didn't know each other, there was a tacit understanding and trust between them at this moment, which made them closer to each other.

Han Xiaodong took the missing girl and carefully crossed the street to a safe place. He found a bottle of water and handed it to the missing girl, "Drink some water, you will feel better."

The missing girl took the water bottle and drank a few sips of water gratefully. She felt much better. She raised her head and looked at Han Xiaodong with a smile, "Is your name Han Xiaodong?"

Han Xiaodong nodded, "Yes, I am."

The missing girl held out her hand, "My name is Lily."

Han Xiaodong held her hand, "Nice to meet you, Lily."

There was a warmth and friendliness in their conversation, as if they had known each other for years, and although their meeting was an accident, the experience created a special bond between them.

"Why did you come to save me?" Lily couldn't help but ask. She was very curious about Han Xiaodong's behavior.

Han Xiaodong pondered for a moment, then said, "Because I believe everyone deserves help, and I don't like to see anyone get hurt."

Lily looked at him gratefully. "Thank you, Han Xiaodong. If it weren't for you, I might have already..."

Her voice gradually lowered, tears flashing in her eyes. Han Xiaodong patted her shoulder gently, "Don't be sad, the most important thing now is that you are safe."

They sat on the sofa, feeling the night breeze blowing past them. The lights from the surrounding streets seemed to add a sense of warmth and tranquility to their conversation.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Han Xiaodong asked gently, hoping to know more about the story behind Lily's disappearance.

Lily nodded sadly, her eyes blurry and worried. "I... I'm not sure, I just remember that I was captured by a group of people after I left home one night."

Han Xiaodong frowned. He could feel Lily's fear and uneasiness. "Who are they? Why did they take you away?" he asked.

Lily bit her lip, as if trying to recall the horrific experience. "I don't know who they are. They took me to a dark place full of fear and despair."

Her voice began to tremble. “They forced me to do things I didn’t want to do. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare that I couldn’t escape.”

Han Xiaodong held Lily's hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort and support. "You are safe now, don't be afraid anymore."

Lily looked at Han Xiaodong gratefully, with hope in her eyes. "Thank you, Han Xiaodong. If you hadn't shown up in time, I might never have gotten out of that darkness."

Han Xiaodong smiled gently, "You're welcome, I just did what I should do."

They sat quietly on the bench, the street was busy at night, but it seemed particularly quiet at this moment. Their conversation freed and healed each other's hearts, like a baptism of the soul.

"Do you have a family?" Han Xiaodong suddenly asked. He wanted to know more about Lily's background and life.

Lily's eyes dimmed. "I have a brother, but I haven't seen him for a long time. We used to live together, but then... everything became different."

Her voice was filled with sadness and melancholy. "I hope to see him again one day and tell him that I have been waiting for him."

Han Xiaodong patted her shoulder gently and said, "Maybe one day, you will meet again."

Their conversation gradually became more relaxed and the distance between them gradually became closer. Although it was only a brief encounter between them, a special emotional connection was established, which made them feel warm and comforted by each other.

As the night deepened, the sky was dotted with twinkling stars, as if witnessing this unexpected encounter. Han Xiaodong and Lily sat quietly on the bench, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

"Thank you for your help today, Han Xiaodong." Lily said softly, her voice full of gratitude and emotion.

Han Xiaodong smiled and shook his head. “You’re welcome. I just did what I could.”

As the night deepened, the number of people on the street gradually shrunk, leaving only the occasional pedestrian passing by. Han Xiaodong and Lily sat on a bench, immersed in each other's conversation, as if they had established a special tacit understanding with each other.

"What are your plans?" Han Xiaodong asked suddenly, looking at Lily with concern.

Lily pondered for a moment, then whispered, "I want to find my brother and tell him that I'm still alive."

Han Xiaodong nodded. "That's a good plan. But now you need to find a place to rest and fully recover your strength."

Lily smiled slightly, "You're right. I may need some time to calm down and think about what to do next."

Han Xiaodong looked around and suggested, "I know there is a hotel nearby. We can stay there temporarily until you are ready."

Lily nodded her agreement, and they stood up from the bench and walked towards the hotel.

At the front desk of the hotel, they checked in with the receptionist. Han Xiaodong chose a quiet double room to ensure that Lily could have a comfortable rest environment.

After entering the room, Lily felt an inexplicable sense of relaxation. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this rare peace.

Han Xiaodong closed the door, sat by the bed, and looked at Lily. His heart was filled with concern and worry for her, and he hoped that she could recover from the fear just now as soon as possible.
