Two Little Ones!
Fortunately, she was on a coastal highway with very few vehicles, and there were no cars in front or behind her, otherwise she might have been rear-ended. But even so, the "Knight's" protection was enough to ensure her safety.
After finally retrieving her phone from under the pedal, An Ran nervously pressed the power button. Only when the screen lit up again did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, seeing the message displayed on the screen, An Ran's heart started racing uncontrollably, and her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
Taking a deep breath, An Ran raised her hand and tapped the screen. The screen changed, and the Weibo interface opened. During this brief wait, An Ran felt her heart pounding wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Gripping her phone tightly, An Ran's eyes were fixed on the screen. The next moment, the program fully opened and automatically jumped to the corresponding interface. The first message she had sent more than four months ago after much struggle came into her view.
Are you still alive?
An Ran had asked herself this question countless times these past few days. From her initial unwavering resolve to her current despair, she had almost given up hope. But now...
An Ran's gaze slowly moved downwards, and the next moment, she couldn't help but raise her left hand to cover her mouth, her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Below her question, a new line of text appeared.
"I'm alive."
Tears could no longer be held back and welled up in her eyes, flowing down her cheeks and onto her slender, pale hand covering her mouth.
"You're alive! You're alive!..."
The next day, at the Los Angeles International Raceway, a newly built circuit constructed to the standards of a top-tier F1 track, both F1 race car and "Thunder" sports cars can unleash their full potential.
An Ran and her filming team, which consisted of her juniors, arrived early to begin preparations, including adjusting the track and setting up the camera equipment.
Today, everyone on the filming team felt that An Ran was different from before. In the past few months, although An Ran still looked as gentle and quiet as ever and was still decisive in doing things, they could feel that she was much more melancholy than before. They rarely saw her comforting smile that seemed to heal people anymore, as if something had been troubling her.
Today, however, they could clearly feel that An Ran's mental state had undergone a tremendous change. Her previous gloom had vanished, and she was like the bright sunshine after the rain, radiating warmth and gentleness. Everyone could feel that brightness and joy, and they couldn't help but be infected by her, as if their whole bodies were full of energy.
Shortly after their arrival, Carlos Sains Jr. and the two main protagonists of this shoot, the F1 race car and the "Thunder" supercar, arrived one after another.
When the truck carrying the two cars came to a stop, the entire filming crew couldn't help but gather around. Carlos Sains Jr., who had just arrived, was also very curious about what kind of supercar his father's boss had built that dared to compete with F1 race car.
An Ran didn't stop them. Anyway, not everyone had arrived yet, and the preliminary preparations were basically completed. Waiting around would be boring, so she let these guys go and watch the show.
As for herself, she had no intention of joining in the fun. She had already seen both cars and wasn't as curious as the others. She simply stood not far away, smiling as she watched the group of younger students surround the van that was transporting the sports car.
However, the two petite figures beside An Ran couldn't sit still after everyone else had gathered around. They were also extremely curious about the two vehicles and wished they could squeeze to the front. However, they didn't want to leave An Ran behind. Seeing that An Ran was just standing there smiling at everyone and had no intention of going over, the two women exchanged a glance, then each took one of An Ran's arms and pulled her towards the direction of the truck.
"Let's go take a look, senior!"
"An F1 sports car! I've never seen one in real life before!"
An Ran was reluctantly dragged into the crowd by the two little ones, but she wasn't angry because she knew that the two little ones were worried about her because they saw that she wasn't in a good mental state, so they insisted on dragging her along to watch the excitement.
Or rather, the little ones are a bit inappropriate. Although they are petite, they are both freshmen at University of California, Los Angeles. If Chen Mo were here, he would recognize them at a glance. These two little ones who "kidnapped" An Ran are Zhang Xin and Xu Qing, whom he rescued from the crashed plane!
It was quite a coincidence that when Chen Mo went to the airport to pick up Su Wan, An Ran happened to be there as well. Chen Mo glanced at her back and thought she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember her and didn't pay much attention to it.
An Ran was representing the school to pick up the newly arrived freshmen, Zhang Xin and Xu Qing, who were on the same flight as Su Wan.
However, because there were too many passengers on the plane and the three of them were not sitting together, they did not meet.
After entering University of California, Los Angeles, the two girls received a lot of care from An Ran. There weren't many China students at the school, and everyone was easy to get along with as fellow countrymen. An Ran also liked these two innocent and carefree junior girls very much and always treated them like younger sisters. She brought them along for this advertisement shoot so that they could broaden their horizons and learn something.
Although Zhang Xin and Xu Qing are both very outgoing, they know exactly who treats them well. In addition, An Ran gentle personality, and in their eyes, she is like an older sister to them. So the two girls are very attached to An Ran and An Ran to hang out with her all the time. However, An Ran doesn't mind them and is happy to have these two cute little tails with her.
Now that the two had pulled her over, An Ran, like the others, looked towards the truck bed, waiting for the two super race cars to make their stunning appearance.
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, the rear door of the carriage slowly opened under the drive of the hydraulic system. People standing on both sides couldn't help but crane their necks to look through the opening. At first, they couldn't see clearly, but as the door opened nearly halfway, a white figure finally appeared.
"Wow, it really is F1 race car! Our advertisement is so extravagant!"
"Don't you even consider who it's for? Do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. Company. is short of money?"
"That's true, but up close, F1 is just too cool!"
