The White Olive Tree

Chapter 6

At the moment the mask was pulled down, Song Ran was suddenly startled, frightened by her own abruptness and recklessness.

Facing his unfamiliar yet familiar face, she was at a loss, both nervous and stunned, unable to utter a word. Her hand loosened in fear, and the mask fell off.

His attention was focused, eyes slightly downcast, and he raised his hand to catch the falling mask. He showed no extra emotions, remaining serious with furrowed brows due to the chaotic situation around. Without stopping in front of Song Ran, he turned around to escort the troublemakers.

"Don't you remember me?" Song Ran shouted, pushing through the crowd, once again grabbing his sleeve across the human wall. It turned out the combat uniform of the special police felt rough and matte.

He turned around again, not knowing if he heard her murmuring, looking somewhat puzzled at the fingers tightly gripping his arm.

The special police around were busy resisting the crowd, paying no attention to her. However, with the crowd surging, she was about to lose her grip and anxiously said, "You saved me! Don't you remember? In Su Rui City. You saved me!"

He seemed not to remember, while the troublemakers in his control were still struggling.

In the end, he was a patient and polite person, advising her, "Miss, I am on official duty."

She hesitated for a moment, realizing she had been impolite. Her hand suddenly lost strength, and her face showed a moment of disappointment, looking pitiful.

He only glanced at her, really too busy to care, turning to leave as she was about to let go.

However, she grabbed on once again.

"What's your name?" she asked, looking at him. Fearing he wouldn't answer, almost choking with urgency; she asked again, "What's your name?!"

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Li Zan."

After saying that, he brushed off her hand gripping his arm.

"Back off! Don't push! Back off!"

The human wall formed by the special police pressed against the crowd, forcefully pushing Song Ran back, completely separating her from him.

He escorted the group of people away, quickly disappearing.

After nearly half an hour, the chaotic crowd gradually dispersed. There was a pile of paper and plastic garbage on the ground.

Song Ran's white carry-on suitcase was trampled with big and small dents, covered in footprints. She looked disheveled as she carried the suitcase out of the airport, waiting for nearly an hour to board the bus.

Outside the bus window, heavy rain poured down, and the rainwater turned into a sea of flooding, waves crashing against the glass.

Liangcheng was almost submerged, with numerous small cars soaked in water on the verge of being scrapped. The bus driver, however, was very brave, driving the bus like a boat at a fast pace.

The pouring rain turned the city upside down, causing it to come to a standstill. People on the cars sighed and complained endlessly.

Song Ran leaned against the door of the bus, her gaze clear, her face calm, her mood like a gentle breeze, slowly blowing across the long journey.

It's really a strange fate. Every time they meet, it's chaos and disorder, one city after another falling.

She learned when leaving the airport that Li Zan and his team are under the command of the Jiangcheng Military Region but stationed in Liangcheng.
