Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 181 The brakes failed!

Ignoring Xu Xiaofan's affectionate gaze, Huo Muchen suddenly stood up, his back appearing even more profound in the dim light.

He didn't turn around, but walked straight towards the door. Xu Xiaofan felt a tightness in her heart and quickly followed him.

"Brother Mu Chen, let me drive you home. I haven't been drinking."

As she approached Huo Muchen's sports car, Xu Xiaofan's voice carried a hint of urgency. She snatched the car keys from Huo Muchen's hand and quickly opened the car door.

Huo Muchen stopped and turned to look at Xu Xiaofan. He didn't say anything; the alcohol was giving him a headache. He didn't press the matter further and simply nodded silently, agreeing to Xu Xiaofan's request.

Xu Xiaofan was overjoyed and quickly walked to the driver's seat and got into the car.

As night deepened, the streetlights cast dappled shadows on the car windows.

Xu Xiaofan focused on driving, occasionally glancing at Huo Muchen in the back seat out of the corner of her eye. Huo Muchen's eyes were closed, revealing no expression or emotion.

Suddenly, the sports car began to speed out of control, its speed appearing unusually abrupt in the night.

Xu Xiaofan, sitting in the driver's seat, had a solemn expression. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

Xu Xiaofan tried to step on the brake, but the pedal seemed unresponsive, offering no resistance whatsoever. Her heart raced, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

"The brakes have failed!"

She gasped inwardly and tried to slow the car down by adjusting the direction.

Huo Muchen also sensed something was wrong. He quickly opened his eyes, but before he could see what was happening, it was already too late.

The road ahead suddenly narrowed, and a truck was coming from the opposite direction, its huge headlights flashing blindingly in the night.

"boom--"

With a deafening crash, the silver sports car jolted violently as if struck by a giant hammer the moment the two cars collided. Huo Muchen and Xu Xiaofan were thrown forward by the immense impact, and the airbags deployed instantly, enveloping them tightly.

The air inside the car seemed to have been sucked out instantly, leaving a deathly silence.

Huo Muchen's mind was a complete blank. He tried to stand up, but found that he couldn't move his body.

Before his eyes was a blurry red, the color of blood, the color of death.

The night outside the car was tinged red by the firelight, and the sounds of sirens and shouts rose and fell. Huo Muchen's consciousness gradually blurred, and he felt himself being swallowed by darkness.

The scene of the accident was a mess; the silver sports car was completely wrecked, and the truck also sustained considerable damage. Rescue workers quickly arrived at the scene and began intensive rescue operations.

Huo Muchen was sent to the hospital for treatment, while Xu Xiaofan was rushed to the operating room for emergency treatment.

"Poetic Sound, Poetic Sound..."

In the deep darkness of the night, Liu Shiyin seemed to hear someone calling her, the voice distant and indistinct, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

She struggled to open her eyes, only to find herself in a strange world.

This is a blood-red wasteland, with a heavy stench of blood permeating the air.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on the man lying in a pool of blood—Huo Muchen.

The man who always smiled and gently protected her was now covered in blood, his face as pale as paper, his eyes closed, as if he had lost all signs of life.

Liu Shiyin's heart was instantly filled with fear and despair.

With trembling hands, she walked step by step toward Huo Muchen, each step feeling like she was stepping on a knife's edge, causing her unbearable pain.

When she finally reached his side, tears blurred her vision.
