Chapter 178: Cold sweat on the forehead

Yu Li began to prove her feelings with actions. She often came to the courtyard to accompany Li Xiangqian and share his happiness and sorrow. They planted flowers and grass together, admired flowers and the moon together, talked and laughed together, and spent many wonderful times together.

During this time, Yu Li gradually discovered that Li Xiangqian's feelings towards her seemed to have changed. His eyes were full of tenderness and care, and his words and actions also revealed his special feelings for Yu Li.

Yu Li felt an inexplicable joy and expectation in her heart. She was convinced that Li Xiangqian still had her in his heart, and the relationship between them would not be easily disturbed or destroyed by the outside world.

However, at this time, an accident happened. Li Xiangqian suddenly received an urgent message from his hometown that his family had met with an accident and he needed to go back immediately to take care of them. Li Xiangqian was extremely worried and immediately decided to leave the courtyard and rush back to his hometown.

Yu Li was worried when she learned of Li Xiangqian's sudden departure. She knew that Li Xiangqian's family had met with an accident and he must need her support and encouragement.

"I'm going to see Li Xiangqian off!" Yu Li said resolutely.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye immediately expressed her willingness to accompany Yu Li. Yu Li looked at her gratefully, knowing how important it was to have a good friend accompany her at this time.

They hurried to the station, their hearts full of concern and worry for Li Xiangqian. Li Xiangqian was waiting for the train to his hometown at the station, and was surprised to see Yu Li and Ran Qiuye coming.

"Lizi, Qiuye, why are you here?" Li Xiangqian asked in surprise.

"Li Xiangqian, we want to take you there." Yu Li said firmly, "There was an accident at your home, we must stay with you."

Li Xiangqian looked at Yu Li and Ran Qiuye with emotion, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth. He knew how lucky and warm it was to have such a group of good friends standing by his side when he needed help and support the most.

Yu Li and Ran Qiuye accompanied Li Xiangqian on the train. They sat together, talked and laughed, and their hearts became closer. Although Li Xiangqian faced family troubles and challenges, his feelings for Li became more firm and deep.

As the train slowly pulled out of the station, Yu Li held Li Xiangqian's hand and said softly, "Li Xiangqian, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Late at night, the lights in the company were still bright, as if they showed their most unique vitality at this moment. In such an atmosphere, Shi Xiaona hurried to the company, eagerly looking for Li Xiangqian.

Shi Xiaona is an employee of the company. She has a special relationship with Li Xiangqian, but this relationship seems unknown to outsiders. When she came to the company, she found that most of the employees had already left work, and only a few people were still busy in the office.

She walked straight to a corner of the office, where Li Xiangqian's office was. She knocked on the door, but got no response. She decided to go in and see if Li Xiangqian was still there.

Shi Xiaona pushed open the door and walked into the office. She found that there was no one inside and there was only a quiet atmosphere. Her heart sank and she couldn't help but start to worry. She walked to the window and looked out. She saw that the city under the moonlight was quiet and beautiful.

Just then, she heard a low voice, as if coming from the other side of the office. She was moved and hurried to the source of the voice.

After passing through a door, Shi Xiaona found Li Xiangqian and Uncle Xu in a small lounge. They were sitting together with a bottle of wine in front of them, and seemed to be chatting about something. Shi Xiaona's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but start to worry.

She walked up, knocked on the door gently, then opened it and walked in. Li Xiangqian and Uncle Xu were surprised to see her.

"Xiao Na, why are you here?" Li Xiangqian asked with concern.

Shi Xiaona looked at the wine bottle in front of them, her heart sank, and she asked, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing this, Uncle Xu hurriedly explained: "Xiao Na, we are just drinking and chatting."

After hearing this, Shi Xiaona became even more worried. She knew that Li Xiangqian had been working hard on the company's projects recently and was under a lot of work pressure. She wondered if their drinking here would affect their work.

"How much have you drunk?" Shi Xiaona asked seriously.

Li Xiangqian saw Shi Xiaona's expression and knew that she was worried about him. He smiled comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, Xiaona, we just drank a little bit, it won't affect our work."

After hearing what he said, Shi Xiaona felt relieved. She knew that Li Xiangqian was a very responsible person and would not be easily affected by alcohol. But she still couldn't help but remind him, "You should go to bed early, because you still have to work overtime tomorrow."

Shi Xiaona looked at Li Xiangqian and Uncle Xu, and saw that they seemed to have something to discuss. She couldn't bear to disturb them, so she turned around and prepared to leave. But at the moment she turned around, a sudden scream rang in her ears.

She stopped in shock and quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound. At the end of the corridor not far away, she saw a figure standing there staggering, and the screams she made were full of panic and despair.

"What's wrong?!" Shi Xiaona's heart tightened and she immediately quickened her pace and ran towards where the figure was.

When she got closer, she found that the person was another colleague of hers, named Li Ting. Li Ting's face was pale at the moment, and her forehead was covered with dense cold sweat, looking very terrified.

"Li Ting, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Shi Xiaona asked anxiously.

Li Ting's voice was trembling and she couldn't speak. She just pointed to the end of the corridor, as if indicating that something terrible had happened there.

Shi Xiaona followed Li Ting's finger and saw a vague figure swaying on the wall at the end of the corridor. She was startled and immediately realized that this might be a bad sign.

"You guys continue talking, I'll go take a look first." Shi Xiaona said to Li Xiangqian and Uncle Xu, then quickly walked to the end of the corridor.

She walked there and found that the figure on the wall was formed by the reflection of a person's body on the glass, and that person was Azhu, the cleaning lady in her company.

Ah Zhu's face was pale at the moment, with cold sweat on her forehead. She stood there at a loss, as if she had encountered some indescribable horror.
