After being hit twice, the silver Volvo was completely deformed.
The hood of the car flipped up and the windshield was smashed.
The windshield of the car shattered, and some of the fragments pierced into Wei Shuyiâs chest and collarbone.
The car accident scared many people, but more people were busy watching the commotion.
Everyone thought that the person in the car was either dead or seriously injured. However, about two to three minutes later, the car door was pushed open from the inside. A man in a gray shirt staggered out. Blood stained his shirt, and glass shards were stuck on his body.
Seeing that he was still alive, a driver and his family quickly supported Wei Shuyi.
Someone called the hospital, and someone else called the police.

At around 10 am, Jiaren Wu received another call from Wei Shuyi.
She picked up the phone and was about to speak when she heard a womanâs voice. âHelloâ¦â The nurse did not know how to address her.
In the patientâs contact list, this number was the most called one.
However, the caller ID the patient gave this person wasâLittle gangster.
Jiaren Wu was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was a woman holding Wei Shuyiâs phone. Her voice became colder as she asked. âWho are you?â
Hearing a womanâs voice, the nurse said, âMiss, whatâs your relationship with Mr. Wei Shuyi?â
âIâm his girlfriend.â
âThatâs great! Miss, Mr. Wei was in a car accident. Can you come to our hospital?â
âWhich one?â Jiaren Wuâs voice trembled.
âCity Peopleâs Hospital.â
They were in the same hospital, and Jiaren Wu soon found Wei Shuyi. He was two floors below her.
Wei Shuyi had fallen asleep perhaps due to being exhausted. His complexion looked fine, but his upper body was wrapped in bandages. He was still wearing the gray shirt he had worn when he first arrived. The blood on his shirt hurt Jiaren Wuâs eyes.
Her lips moved for a moment before she called out softly, âBrother Weiâ¦â
Wei Shuyi moaned in pain.
Jiaren Wu quickly covered her mouth.
She didnât dare to disturb Wei Shuyi.
There were two beds in the ward, and a young girl was sleeping on the other bed. It was unknown what illness she had, but the girlâs family members were quite quiet. Jiaren Wu quietly left the room and went to the police station.
She saw the hit-and-run driver. Apparently, he hadnât rested well and had dozed off at the traffic light.
The driver also knew that he had knocked someone down. At this moment, he was extremely uneasy.
Jiaren Wu didnât say anything to the driver.
As she left the police station, her phone rang.
When she saw the words âsalesâ and âdeliveryâ at the bottom of the number, Jiaren Wu did not want to pick up. First, she had not bought anything online recently. Second, sales calls were annoying.
However, this number was unrelenting. Her phone rang several times before Jiaren Wu picked up the call.
âHello, I donât need any sales deliveriesâ¦â
âHello, is this Jiaren Wu? You have a parcel here. Iâve placed it at your door.â Surprisingly, the voice belonged to Kang Hui.
Jiaren Wuâs expression changed. She subconsciously lowered her voice and said to the person over the phone, âOkay.â
Jiaren Wu went to the hospital to look after Wei Shuyi. When Wei Shuyi woke up in the middle of the night, he saw Jiaren Wu lying on his bed. He wanted to raise his hand, but his arm was injured by glass, so it was inconvenient. He kept staring at her. Jiaren Wu seemed to have sensed something and raised her head.
Seeing that he was awake, Jiaren Wu was pleasantly surprised.
âBrother Wei, how are you?â
Wei Shuyi said, âGive me some water to drink.â
âOkay.â
Jiaren Wu bought him a bottle of mineral water and fed him two sips.
Recalling the car accident, Wei Shuyi still felt a lingering fear in his heart. âDo you know what I was thinking when I remembered the car accident?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou would miss me?â
Wei Shuyi couldnât blame Jiaren Wu for being thick-skinned, but she did have that confidence.
He stared at her beautiful face for a long time before nodding. âYes, I was thinking about you.â
Just as Jiaren Wu was about to laugh, she heard Wei Shuyi say, âAt that moment, I was thinking, if only I had never known you before.â
The smile on her lips froze.
âWhat do you mean?â Jiaren Wuâs voice stiffened, and her expression darkened.
Wei Shuyi explained, âI thought I would die. I was thinking, if I died, what would you do? At that moment, I regretted knowing you. If you didnât know me, then my death would have no impact on youâ¦â
Jiaren Wuâs expression eased a little and was no longer as gloomy and terrifying.
âJust shut up,â she said. âYouâll recover from this injury after a short rest. Donât put the word death on your tongue.â Her expression turned particularly serious when she finished. âIâll get scared.â
Wei Shuyi was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
âAlright, I wonât say it.â

Regardless of what Dongli Shenghua would think, Jiaren Wu took two days off to take good care of Wei Shuyi.
That afternoon, she finally returned home.
Passing by the neighborhood, she picked up her parcel.
The package was not an empty paper box. There was something inside. It was a packet of red dates.
Jiaren Wu held the packet of red dates in her hands with an indescribable expression.
She opened the red date bag and saw a note inside. When she opened it, there was only one sentence on it.
[The car accident might have something to do with Dongli Shenghua.]
These words sent chills down Jiaren Wuâs spine.
She went to the traffic bureau and saw the video of the car accident. It was really dangerous at that time. Wei Shuyi was lucky to have survived this disaster. Jiaren Wu held the note in her hand, her whole body trembling.
If only I had never met you.
At this moment, a similar thought emerged in her heart.
Jiaren Wu burnt that note, took a handful of red dates, and cooked a pot of porridge. She then uploaded a photo to her Moments on WeChat.
Alluring Beauty: [I heard that you can eat some red dates to enrich your body.]
Seeing her post, Kang Hui knew that she had received his message.
Jiaren should know what to do.
During the few days that Wei Shuyi was hospitalized, Jiaren Wu accompanied him at the hospital at night and even made him some nutritious soup. Wei Shuyi had the thought that if he could get her dedicated care by staying in the hospital, he would be willing to stay for a few more days.
This thought was too depraved!
He was discharged after staying in the hospital for five days.
Yuan Jun and Elder Xu took over him and treated his patients. Wei Shuyi would also occasionally go to the hospital to take a look. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy.

One day, when Dongli Shenghua saw Jiaren Wu texting Wei Shuyi during office hours, he could not stand it anymore. He could not help but remind her, âMiss Wu, itâs office hours now.â
âI know.â
âItâs not good to send a private message during work hours!â He glanced at Jiaren Wuâs cold face and said, âYouâre a professional bodyguard.â
Jiaren Wu mocked him. âThen as my boss, why did you go to my boyfriendâs place and deliberately say things to confuse him about our relationship?â Jiaren Wu sneered and asked him, âIs that right?â Jiaren Wuâs tone was angry and she wanted to vent her anger.
Dongli Shenghua did not show any guilt.
He was calm and composed, yet he still had the face to ask her, âDid you fight with him?â
Jiaren Wu acknowledged coldly and remained silent.
Dongli Shenghua thought of something and hypocritically comforted her. âHe doesnât love you that much. If he really loved you, he wouldnât have suspected that there was anything between you and meâ¦â
âHa.â
Jiaren Wu smiled at his naivety. âMr. Dongli is indeed an outstanding businessman. Youâre good at sowing discord.â
âBut I also successfully planted a bomb in his heart, didnât I?â
Jiaren Wu stopped talking.
Dongli Shenghuaâs mood suddenly improved.
âIs Mr. Wei feeling better?â
âThank you for worrying. Heâs much better.â Jiaren Wu pursed her lips, but she was thinking:?You almost let him see Hades. Donât you know how his health is?
Dongli Shenghua remained silent.
After work, Jiaren Wu ate dinner at Dongli Shenghuaâs house and was about to leave. Just as she walked to the middle of his front yard, Dongli Shenghua suddenly called her from behind.
âMiss Wu.â
Turning around, Jiaren Wu looked at him speechlessly. âWhat else do you want, Mr. Dongli?â
He said, âOn the 20th of November, you have to clear your schedule no matter what.â
Jiaren Wuâs heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the sly old fox has finally caved and decided to buy drugs from foreign drug lords? Is he afraid of an accident and needs my protection? Is that why he made me clear my schedule?
Jiaren Wu had already thought of many possibilities, but her face appeared as calm as a spring breeze.
âGot it.â
After that, she turned around and left.
She got off work early these few days but she didnât look for Wei Shuyi.
After Wei Shuyi was discharged from the hospital, Qiao Jiusheng kept calling him and inviting him over to her house to relax and have a meal. However, he always rejected her using the reason that he had not fully recovered. On this day, Qiao Jiusheng called him again.
âAre you really not coming? Iâm cooking myself, and I bought many ingredients.â Qiao Jiusheng said over the phone.
Hearing that she had already bought many ingredients, Wei Shuyi couldnât refuse her anymore.
