He pressed the button, and only then Shen Chi opened the car door.
Xu Chaomu jumped out of the car, âShuifu, how come youâre in the hospital? What happened to you?â
She saw MO Shuifuâs arm wrapped in gauze, her face pale, even her lips devoid of any color.
âChaomu, I was in a car accident a few days ago, but Iâm fine now; donât worry,â MO Shuifu said with a faint smile.
Despite her injuries and her complexion not being very good, MO Shuifuâs smile was still like the bright yellow roses in spring, bright and gentle.
âLet me have a look; are you sure youâre really okay?â Xu Chaomu was so worried, a car accident was no small matter.
MO Shuifu smiled and took her hand, âIâm really fine, Iâm even planning to be discharged.â
Shen Chi also got out of the car, he did not recognize MO Shuifu, his face expressionless, with dark shadows still filling his eyes.
The middle-aged man approached Shen Chi, âYou must be Mr. Shen, right?â
Shen Chi responded with a cold âhmm,â marked with indifference and aloofness.
âIâve finally found you; do you remember Shuifu and me? The other day I was driving with Shuifu on the highway when a truck crashed into us, and after the accident, you saved us.â
The middle-aged man was visibly excited, and MO Shuifu approached as well.
She glanced at Shen Chi, she was unconscious that day and did not see her lifesaver, but Uncle Zhang said it was the man before her.
She thought she would never see him again, but unexpectedly he appeared at the hospital today.
Is this fate?
Shen Chiâs frown deepened, he saved them? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMr. Shen, afterward we tried to find you, but the police said you only left a surname. Fortunately, we have met you again,â said the middle-aged man cheerfully.
âAre you sure you havenât recognized the wrong person?â Shen Chiâs brow furrowed.
The middle-aged man was sure, âNo, I was unconscious at the time but I caught a glimpse of you. Although I wasnât sure it was you today, you indeed have the surname Shen, that canât be wrong.â
âBut I havenât saved anyone,â Shen Chi said.
âMr. Shen, we wonât bother you; we just wanted to express our gratitude now that fate has allowed us to see you again,â MO Shuifu said.
From his leaving only a surname at the police station, they all knew that this man who saved them probably did not wish to be disturbed.
Xu Chaomu came over with a smile and nudged Shen Chiâs arm, âFourth
Brother, youâve saved people before? Who wouldâve guessed!â
âYou must have recognized the wrong person,â Shen Chi repeated.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, âMr. Shen, we wonât disturb you. We stopped you today just to say thank you. Although I didnât see very clearly that day, I remember the general outline.â
âFourth Brother, just admit it; thereâs no one more handsome than you in the world!â Xu Chaomu teased.
âXu Chaomu, shut up!â Shen Chi scolded her.
ââ¦â Xu Chaomuâs mouth twitched, glancing at him resentfully. Canât even give a compliment; no fun at all.
âMr. Shen, we really wonât disturb you. Just by saying thanks, weâll leave. The debt of saving our lives is immeasurable; if thereâs ever anything you need from us, we will not shirk, even at the cost of our lives,â MO Shuifu said.
She looked at Shen Chi, the sunlight just right, refracting through the spectrum on his chiseled face, though indifferent, it seemed to her an era of peace.
âNo need, weâre merely strangers who crossed paths,â Shen Chi said lightly.
He probably felt that continuing the conversation would seem like evasiveness, a cover-up the more he explained.
âMr. Shen, if you donât mind, may I treat you to a meal?â the middle-aged man, feeling intimidated by Shen Chiâs strong presence, said somewhat uncomfortably.
âNo need.â
Shen Chiâs thin lips uttered two words as he took a seat behind the wheel.
âStopping cars is dangerous; do it less from now on!â Shen Chi gave them another cold look.
âMr. Shen, the grace of saving my life, MO Shuifu will never forget,â MO Shuifu approached the window and her delicate face showed a hint of sorrow.
Shen Chi did not speak, his sharp eyes focused forward.
Xu Chaomu pulled MO Shuifu aside, âShuifu, go back and recover, my Fourth Brother is just like that; you donât understand.â
âChaomu⦠you know Mr. Shen?â MO Shuifu was puzzled.
âAfter my familyâs incident, I was adopted by his family. Let me tell you, the days before I turned ten were so carefree, but these past eight years, he has tormented me to death. Canât say more, tears are welling upâ¦â Xu Chaomu finished, pretending to wipe her eyes.
But her eyes were uncooperative, not a single tear could she squeeze out.
MO Shuifu was too naive; she really thought Xu Chaomu had suffered a lot and looked worriedly at her, âThen are you not living a good life now?â
âXu Chaomu, come here now!â
Shen Chi swept Xu Chaomu with a cold glance.
MO Shuifu was startled by his voice, which was very cold, and his face was unfeeling.
She now believed Xu Chaomuâs words without doubt.
Xu Chaomu, however, was very calm but felt uneasy inside; yelling at her in front of her friend, how embarrassing.
âShuifu, you must recover well, take good care of yourself. Donât let anything happen again. We can meet again sometime, â Xu Chaomu said as if they were parting forever.
âYou too, take care of yourself and study hard,â MO Shuifuâs delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking indescribably lovely.
As Xu Chaomu was about to say more, she suddenly felt the temperature around her drop sharply, and a pair of piercing, icy eyes stared at her.
She reluctantly took MO Shuifuâs hand, bidding her a heartfelt farewell, âI have to go home now; weâll meet again. Be careful with everything; donât let anything happen again. It hurts me to see you injured like this.â
âGo ahead, Chaomu. Iâm grown up; Iâll take care of myself. See you next time,â MO Shuifu smiled.
She was beautiful when she smiled, her complexion might have been pale, but it could not hide her youthful and pretty charm, like flowers blooming under the sun.
Xu Chaomu sat in the passenger seat, was just about to wave to MO Shuifu when Shen Chi, ever the spoil-sport, accelerated away.
âWhat are you doing, not like youâre speaking to a little boy. Sheâs my friend!â
Xu Chaomu finally burst out at Shen Chi when MO Shuifuâs figure was no longer visible.
What a petty man!
âSeat belt!â
His voice was icy, his demeanor assertive.
âYou, you, you!â Xu Chaomu had no retort, gave him a glare, and obediently fastened her seat belt.
After driving a while, Xu Chaomu touched her forehead where she was hit and glared resentfully at Shen Chi.
âMy head hurts!â
âHmm?â Shen Chi finally slowed down and gave her a look.
Xu Chaomu pretended to close her eyes and clasped her head, acting as if in great pain. Oh, but she was actually fine now.
Shen Chi pulled the car over to the side of the road, his hand gently touching her forehead, âWhere does it hurt?â
âIt hurts right here!â Xu Chaomu pointed to the spot where she was hit, âI hope itâs not a concussion. What if Iâve gotten stupid?â
