box from the shelf, and received the jade tiger from the little boy. He carefully placed it inside the brocade box and then meticulously closed and sealed it. The little boy stretched out both hands,...Have you ever been captivated by a woman in a photograph, even though you've never met her in real life!

For Jiang Chengfeng, Lin Meng was undoubtedly special. In his twenty-seven years of life, he had met countless women of all sorts—some alluring and enchanting, others innocent and charming. But—Lin Meng, this little woman, definitely held a place in his heart.

Had he not unintentionally opened his younger brother's drawer and seen that photograph, perhaps his life should have been extraordinary, smooth sailing, just like the name his father had given him - Jiang Chengfeng. Riding the wind and waves, soaring high!

The woman visible in the photo was dragged by something invisible.

In that photo, she was dressed like a student, innocent and youthful. She wore a creamy white wool sweater and sky-blue jeans, yet she seemed the purest thing in the world. The two female students standing beside her were dressed similarly, but somehow, when you looked at her, your eyes automatically overlooked everyone else around them.

In the photo, she has long hair that cascades past her shoulders, it's incredibly alluring. This must be a candid shot, as she slightly tilts her head and has a faint smile playing on the corner of her lips. She seems to be talking to a girl beside her. Even her eyelashes are delicately lowered, completely oblivious to the camera. Yet, that slightly lowered gaze pierces straight into your heart, causing an instant flutter in your chest.

And she, was only a first-year high school student, only sixteen years old!

The photos taken without her consent were taken shortly after she entered high school in her first year.

As an older brother, he felt it was his duty to look out for his younger brother. Finding such photos hidden away, he felt the need to offer some guidance and concern, lest his younger sibling stray down a path of early romance that could negatively impact his studies and future prospects. Only then did he learn that his brother had simply been admiring these pictures of the girl. Such photos were common treasures among any boy harboring even a small amount of affection for her.

Then, I also learned her name was Lin Meng. As her name suggests, she possessed a beauty that seemed like a dream, unreal and enchanting. However, from sporadic conversations with my brother later on, I learned that this girl who had won the titles of "Class Flower" and "School Flower" as soon as she entered school seemed difficult to get along with. Her personality appeared to be too aloof and high-minded. Overall, she seemed like a type of person that was intimidating and unwelcome.

At that time, he was somewhat surprised. Looking at the photo, it felt like a girl who exuded a faint warmth and seemed to have a delicate and cute personality. He couldn't have imagined that she would be someone who pretended to be aloof and looked down on others! If she really was that kind of girl, it would be a shame to her such beauty!

Maybe it was the first impression that was too strong. Although he didn't like her personality, when his younger brother couldn't help but talk about her again, he couldn't help but perk up his ears to listen. Sometimes, inadvertently, her face in the photo would even flash through his mind!

I never expected to meet you here, of all places!

Even in such a disheveled state, even with her hair dripping wet at this moment, even though there was some mud on her fair face, it still couldn't hide her beauty.

Even in such disarray, she was still three points more beautiful than in the photograph.

Finally, he saw her eyebrows and eyes, but they were sky-blue. Below them were two pools of eyes more intoxicating than wine, stained with broken teardrops, which tugged at his heart lightly, causing a twinge of pain.

She was dishevelled at the moment, her clothes torn by those four men just now. Lin Meng reached out to pull at her clothes, his small hand trembling so violently, it was white and seemed as if it would shatter with a few more shakes. He couldn't bear to look any longer, impulsively reaching out and pulling at her clothes himself, pulling the half-removed garment back up.

But it was too late!

That delicate, intricately sculpted upper body was already fully captured in his gaze!

Her white blouse, hastily thrown on for the summer coolness, was sheer and thin. On a normal day it would have been refreshingly light. But now, drenched by the heavy rain, it clung to her body, becoming almost translucent like a nightgown. Her perfect figure was completely exposed: a slim waist that could be grasped in one hand and budding breasts that tested a man's willpower.

Jiang Cheng helped her because he felt pity for her. But after helping her with the clothes, he awkwardly realized that he had seen everything he should and shouldn't have.

Through the rain-soaked, semi-transparent fabric, the two dazzling orbs were whiter than freshly steamed buns. They almost made his heart skip a beat. He quickly turned his eyes away, but then caught a glimpse of the two collarbones on her white and tender chest. They rose and fell with her breath, like two jade ornaments, delicate and alluring. His breathing quickened uncontrollably.

Lin Meng, exhausted from her struggle, could barely stand. Her limbs were weak, and she allowed the man to handle her, though not entirely out of helplessness. The main reason for her compliance was his attire: a specially tailored black suit adorned with a vibrant gold and red emblem, instantly identifying him as someone in authority.

Since the other party just said they were a police officer, she felt relieved!

The rain was falling rather heavily. Jiang, riding the wind, saw that this petite woman's face was as pale as paper. Knowing this wasn't a suitable place to speak, he reached out and helped Lin Meng up. Taking a closer look, he saw her bare feet and his handsome star-like eyes narrowed slightly.

"Where are your shoes"

He asked.

Her dreams were filled with words, yet she didn't know how to reply.

Jiang Cheng scanned the surroundings as he rode on the wind, but didn't see the woman's shoes. His long eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Come with me!"

He dragged Lin Meng along.

Because he was a "police officer," Lin Meng walked with him feeling at ease.

The drainage system on the street was terrible. After days of intermittent rain, the street was flooded with sewage. Jiang Cheng watched as that white jade foot stepped deep and shallowly in the muddy water, his brow furrowed tightly. He felt it would be a sin if he just stood there and did nothing!

Thus, he uttered a low "I'm sorry" and without waiting for her consent, bent down. He encircled her waist with one hand, and her knees with the other, then rotated his arms slightly before hoisting her up in a fireman's carry.

Lin Meng let out a soft cry as she rose into the air. The feeling of being weightless startled her heart, making it beat wildly.

Jiang Cheng rode the wind and didn't wait for her to speak, immediately added: "There are many broken stones and glass on this road, be careful not to get your feet pricked!"

Lin Meng widened her eyes in surprise, staring at Jiang Chengfeng for a moment before slowly closing them again, a wave of gratitude washing over her. Her tired hands trembled slightly, afraid that they might unwittingly take advantage of this kind stranger. So she gently clasped his hand and carefully placed it on her lower abdomen.

On both sides of the street, there was a barrier between the roads. Jiang Chengfeng didn't want to go far out of his way to find a passageway along the barrier, so when he got closer to it, he slightly leaned forward and put Lin Meng down. He then supported himself with one hand on the barrier and jumped over with ease, leaving Lin Meng staring in amazement and admiration!

Her eyes were beautiful and clear, her small face almost expressing every joy and anger. Jiang Chengfeng saw her like this, his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, a glimmer of amusement flashing in his deep eyes. This girl who seemed to be able to see through everything at a glance was hard to imagine as the aloof and unapproachable person described by her younger brother!

Bending down, he picked her up again and walked towards his car. This book was first published on this website, please do not reprint!r blankets, looking just like a small ball. Their heads were touching each other, looking at each other with a secret intimacy, as if they really were two close brothers!"Shh!" Lin Meng held up her in...
