I always thought my first eting with Lin Yixun was at the anniversary ceremony of our alma mater. It wasn’t until much later that I realized that wasn’t our first encounter; our real first eting was because of a car accident.
At the ti, I was still in college, and my software company had just been established. Although my father had many connections, I wanted to rely solely on my own abilities and didn’t want to depend on my father’s influence. However, sotis being stubborn cos at a price. The price of my stubbornness was that, apart from professional courses, almost all my ti was used for entrepreneurship.
Starting a business is always difficult. Due to limited startup funds and a small number of employees, I had to personally handle many tasks. Once, on the way to et a client, due to several days of working nonstop, I was so exhausted that I mistakenly saw the red light at an intersection as green. Unfortunately, as I ran the red light, a speeding car suddenly appeared from the right.
Thus, I encountered the first car accident of my life. And because of this accident, Lin Yixun ca into my life.
Later on, I often wondered, if I hadn’t stayed up all night the previous evening, if I hadn’t run the red light at the intersection, if that accident hadn’t happened, would Lin Yixun and I never have t? Would our lives be different then?
Unfortunately, there is no "if" in this world, only results. As a result, I had a car accident, and as a result, I t Lin Yixun.
The scene of the accident was very tragic. My car was almost completely wrecked in an instant, and my head was severely injured from hitting the steering wheel hard. Besides my head, my legs and arms also seed to be injured and were bleeding.
The air was filled with the sll of gasoline, suggesting that gasoline had leaked from the tank. This situation was undoubtedly dangerous, as even a small spark could cause the car to explode at any ti.
I struggled to move my body and tried to open the car door to escape, but sadly found that I had no strength to do so. Misfortune never cos singly; through the rearview mirror, I vaguely saw smoke rising from the back of the car.
This was a very bad sign.
I mustered all my strength to move my body, knowing that if I didn’t leave quickly, I might be consud by the flas. But, being injured, it was impossible for to escape on my own.
Blood kept flowing from my wounds, and the pain in my head felt like it would explode. My vision gradually blurred, and my consciousness was slowly slipping away.
This situation made feel helpless and desperate. My company had just started, I hadn’t made my mark in the business world yet, and my life had only just begun. Was it going to end here?
This outco made very unwilling.
Just when I thought I was about to perish here, a slim figure unexpectedly burst into my view, followed by a clear voice, "Hey, are you okay?"
The girl’s voice was pleasant, like a ray of dawn, piercing deep into my heart, pulling back from despair.
I squinted, trying to see her face clearly, but all I saw was a blurred outline. I assud that my head injury was causing my vision to be unclear.
At this mont, the girl’s lodious voice ca again, "You’re so badly injured. You need to go to the hospital imdiately. But you’re so big, moving you out of the car is going to be a bit difficult."
The girl seed conflicted, yet calm. I had no ti to listen to this; looking at her, I struggled to speak, "Quick... quickly... get out of the car!"
The car could explode at any mont. Staying inside even for another second added to the danger, and she was also in danger.
She seed to sense urgency in my tone and quickly nodded, "Okay, I’ll get you out of here right away."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, flas erupted from the back of the car, which was extrely dangerous. I thought she would leave in the face of such danger. After all, she had no obligation to risk her life to save , a stranger.
But to my surprise, she not only stayed but also continuously reassured , "Don’t worry, I’ll get you out in a mont. Even though you’re quite big, with all my strength, I might still be able to drag you out."
Then, the girl unbuckled my seatbelt, hugged my upper body, and dragged out of the car.
Though her body was slender, she seemingly used all her strength. After pulling out of the driver’s seat and seeing the growing flas at the back of the car, she didn’t hesitate and dragged another ten ters away.
My hardened heart was deeply moved. In this world, there are very few people who would risk their lives to save a stranger, but this girl in front of decided to save without hesitation.
Just as she dragged to a safe distance, I heard a deafening explosion not far away. My car was completely destroyed in the middle of the road, and this girl saved my life at the crucial mont.
Relieved, the tension in my heart eased, and I couldn’t hold on any longer, and fainted.
When I woke up, I found myself in a hospital. The sll of disinfectant filled my nostrils, making frown in disgust.
Thanks to the tily treatnt, my vision had restored and was no longer blurry, although my head and legs were in a cast, making movent impossible. I thought it would take a long ti for my legs to fully recover.
Feeling sowhat thirsty, I wanted to call for a nurse, but at that mont, the door to the ward was pushed open, and a tall, striking woman walked in.
"You’re awake?"
"Was it you who saved ?"
"Yes," the woman nodded.
"Miss, may I know your na?"
A hint of disappointnt flashed in the girl’s eyes, "Don’t you recognize ?"
I frowned in confusion, "You are...?"
"It seems you really don’t rember . I’m Cheng Ying, the little girl from next door. Our family moved to the United States when I started middle school, and we recently moved back here. I wanted to find you after returning ho, but as it happened, I encountered you in the car accident. You’ve changed a lot over the years. I didn’t recognize you at first, but when I registered you in the hospital, I realized it was you."
"So, it’s you." I had a vague mory of the girl from next door.
But, did she really save ?
I looked closely at the woman in front of . For so reason, sothing felt off, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
