"What should we do? The rain doesn't seem to stop anytime soon! Hurry, send a few more cars!"

"Yes sir!"

"The mountain behind the Aerial Club?" Jackson suddenly said in a low voice. "The mountain fences were broken during the construction of this club. It is very dangerous."

"Is there really going to be a problem?" Mei looked outside in astonishment. "Why is President Manoban going to the farm?"

As she spoke, Mei's eyes suddenly fell on Jennie and she was filled with suspicion. "Jennie, aren't you on the farm just now? Did you ... meet President Manoban?"

Jackson also looked at her.

Jennie glanced at both of them and said, "Even if I was lucky enough to meet him, I still came back first. What's the use of asking me now?"

To be honest, she really didn't like the way Mei pretended to be innocent but at the same time, looking at her with hostility.

Mei pouted. "I heard you came back with President Manoban's umbrella. What if something really happens to him after that? It's raining so heavily outside!"

Jennie was annoyed by her rambling but she also worried that something might happen to Lisa. She stood up abruptly.

"Jennie!" Jackson called her.

Jennie ignored him, walking out of the private room, and borrowed an umbrella from the staff member before hurrying out.

"Miss Kim, it's raining outside, please don't go out!" Seeing that she was about to leave, the employee stopped her, "The rain is so heavy right now and you can't even see the road. If you go out recklessly, Miss Kim, and if you can't get back in time, we'll have to take care of you, so ..."

Jennie paused for a moment and looked at the staff member. He was in a difficult position. However, he was right. Even if she went out to look for Lisa, what could she do in this sort of weather? Could her two legs compare to those cars?

But...

Jennie remained silent as she stood outside the door and looked into the distance. In the end, she did not want to cause too much trouble, but she still felt uneasy.

Since this banquet was arranged by some leaders and if nothing really happened, Lisa will definitely not be late and gone missing for no reason!

After searching for about twenty minutes, there was still no news. Everyone was panicking. Jennie stood where she was and opened her umbrella. She walked quickly into the rain curtain.

"Miss Kim!"

The rain was falling heavily, but she could still remember the direction she had walked when she first returned, so she walked quickly towards that direction. She could vaguely see some light ahead on the road, which should have been the light from the cars sent to find Lisa.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, she finally returned to the awning. However, the awning was already filled with rainwater blown by the wind. Jennie paused, not intending to turn back, but quickening her pace even further into the orchard.

They said that at the end of the orchard was the back of the mountain. Could Lisa have really gone there?

"Lisa!"

"Lisa!"

Although Jennie was wearing thick clothes, she was still shivering from the cold wind. Then she thought back on how thin Lisa's cloth was before, and she didn't know if he had put his jacket back or not.

"Lisa!"

Jennie kept shouting his name loudly as she looked around. She didn't know if it was because of the cold or something, but her voice was gradually trembling.

When she walked forward, she finally saw where the fence had been demolished due to repairs. She stopped, knowing that the steps forward would be very slippery and that it would be very easy for her to slip and fall.

Although there was no light here, there were still some street lamps in the orchard. Jennie could vaguely make out the outline of this place. If Lisa had walked here, he would not have been so stupid as to take a step forward.

Jennie felt relieved, but she still looked around anxiously and quickly went back. Because she was walking in a hurry, she miscalculated her steps and stumbled upon a rock. Her feet slipped and she almost fell. Jennie quickly raised her hand to support herself on a fruit tree and stepped forward.

She gasped.

Damn it! Her ankle sprained!

Jennie gritted her teeth and forced herself to take two steps forward. Finally, she managed to walk more smoothly. Since the cold wind was too strong, her ankles' pain was not that severe.

Jennie walked back to the awning and anxiously looked at the other side. As she walked, she was still calling out Lisa's name.

When she thought about how Lisa might have met with some danger, she felt as if a knife had stabbed into her heart.

Thunder rumbled, and no one could see and hear what was happening around them. Jennie knew that such shouts were futile, but if she were to keep waiting in that room, she would definitely not be able to stand it!

"Lisa, where are you?"

Not far away, the corn was swaying in the wind. Jennie turned around and wanted to look around the orchard once again when a voice came faintly behind her. "Jennie?"

Lisa was standing on the opposite side of the cornfield. Although his body was already drenched, he was not in a sorry state like she had imagined. Jennie was startled, the boulder in her heart fell. She hurriedly walked towards him, but because she was in a rush, her legs felt pain and caused her to stagger for a moment.

Jennie almost fell down, when her waist was suddenly grabbed by Lisa. "It's raining so heavily, what are you doing out here again?" He frowned.

Jennie endured the pain under her feet and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was unharmed. She then angrily pushed him away. "Oh so you knew that it's raining so heavily, then why aren't you going back? You've been missing for almost an hour and everyone's been looking for you! What are you trying to do, President Manoban? Do you know that because of your disappearance, the several leaders were like ants on a hot pan?"

Lisa looked at her but said nothing. He looked down at her feet.

"I'm fine!" Jennie moved away from his arm and walked away, limping.

She had only taken two steps when she was stopped. Lisa walked forward and asked, "Did you twist your ankle?"

"I'm fine!" Jennie hated him so much that her teeth itched. Everyone was anxious to death, but he had an innocent look on his face!

Lisa sighed, "The rain is too heavy. The awning from before could not cover the rain. I went to the awning in the middle of the cornfield and it was quite far from the club."

Jennie looked at the high cornfield that was hidden by the trees. There was actually an awning there, but everyone's attention was focused on the dangerous place behind the mountain. They were worried that something had happened to him, but who would have thought that he was on the other side?

She kept a straight face and did not speak, but her body could not stop from shivering. Lisa's jacket was also wet. He sighed and embraced her, giving her some warmth. "Fool. Drink some ginger soup when you go back. Otherwise, with your physique, you would definitely catch a cold tomorrow."

Jennie didn't say anything. She wanted to move away from his embrace, but she was firmly pressed against him. Just as she took a step forward, she couldn't help but groan in pain.

Lisa suddenly bent down and picked her up by the waist. As she gasped, he whispered, "Hold up your umbrella. Don't get wet again."

Lisa held her stiffly in his arms. Perhaps because the rain was too heavy and the umbrella too small, Lisa held Jennie as close as he could, so that the rain wouldn't fall on her again. Her shoulder was against his chest, and she could feel his breath hitting her ears.

Jennie looked up at his face. For a moment, it seemed to her that perhaps the love between them was deeper than she had imagined. In a trance, she thought that he would carry her like this. They walked all the way until the end of the world, but before long, the car that had been looking for them spotted them and quickly drove over.
