Chapter 8: Encounter with a Car Accident

  I slept soundly until I woke up naturally, feeling refreshed and stretched my waist lazily, getting out of bed. The bright sunlight poured in from the window, with a layer of mist on the glass, making everything outside blurry. I jumped down, put on my coat and opened the window.

  "Gosh!" I exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

  It's actually snowing.

  The ground had already accumulated a layer of white, and in the air there were still light snowflakes gently falling. I couldn't help but stretch out my hand to catch one, and indeed it was hexagonal, crystal clear, and exceptionally lovely. But before long, it melted into a tiny drop of water in the palm of my hand.

  I closed the window, quickly put on my clothes, and then opened the door.

  The living room was very quiet, and there was no sound in the bathroom. The door to the bedroom on the left was tightly closed. I glanced at the time - it was only 6:40, so Jiang Zhun was probably still asleep.

  As expected, just as I squeezed toothpaste and started brushing my teeth, the bathroom door opened. Jiang, still sleepy, waved at me: "Get out for a bit, I need to use the toilet."

  "Hmm... wait a minute..." I muttered to myself, spat out the toothpaste, splashed some water on my face, and then headed out the door.

  Just as I was about to peel a banana from the fruit platter, Jiang Zhun's hand reached out and snatched it away, taking the entire platter with him: "Don't eat fruit on an empty stomach, aren't you a medical student? Don't you know this?"

  "I'm hungry," I said honestly.

  Jiang Zhun put on his overcoat and said: "Put on your coat, it's very cold outside. Let's go downstairs to have breakfast."

  "Can I go see the snow?" I asked.

  "Alright." Jiang Zhen approved readily.

  After having breakfast at the hotel's self-service restaurant, I ran out happily.

  Let's be honest, this happiness has three parts of real joy, after all, this is the first snow of this winter. Five parts are pretending to be seen by Jiang Zhun, look, I'm also a lively and lovely little sister! The remaining two parts are to cover up the small pride in my heart, look, the first snow is watched together with Jiang Zhun haha!

  "Hey, Jiang Zhun!" I waved at him and pointed to a park behind me with a smile, "Come on, it's time to test your photography skills, take two photos for me!"

  Jiang Zhun's face changed and he shouted: "Don't retreat! Be careful!"

  People all have inertia, his voice had just fallen, but I couldn't stop the car, my foot continued to step back a few more steps. A loud rumbling engine sound rang in my ears, accompanied by crazy horns, and the crowd around me panicked and dodged, with someone screaming.

  I turned around and was shocked to see a small car speeding towards me.

  "Shu Ling!"

  With Jiang Zhun's shout, I burst out with the greatest potential of my life. In that instant, a spiritual energy shot out from my fingertips, wrapping around the streetlight pole, and then I kicked off the ground and took flight. At the same time, a talisman flew out of Jiang Zhun's palm, perfectly supporting the soles of my feet, carrying me upward for another stretch.

  A small car narrowly brushed past my feet, speeding by, and coincidentally crashed into the lamppost wrapped in my spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was severed, the talismans under my feet could no longer support my weight, and I fell down once again.

  "Hiss——" The small car suddenly started again, quickly reversing backwards, showing an attitude of not being willing to give up on crushing me.

  Damn it! I couldn't help but curse, who did I provoke?!

  Jiang Zhun rushed over in time, jumped up and pulled me into the air, rolling with me to the side of the road, and the two of us quickly left the car's crushing range.

  "Are you okay?" Jiang Zhun hastily asked me after stabilizing his figure.

  I shook my head and looked over his shoulder at the little car.

  Inside the car sat a woman with golden big wavy hair, wearing oversized sunglasses that covered half her face. When she saw me looking over, her fiery red lips curled up slightly towards me. I was enraged and pushed Jiang Zheng forward, but my ankle suddenly hurt, and it turned out to be sprained.

  The woman in the car provocatively waved at me and drove away.

  Jiang Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked at my ankle first: "How is it? Does it hurt?"

  "Ugh——" I shook my head, pinched my ankle and said irritably, "I won't die, help me up."

  Jiang Zhun picked me up like a princess and carried me towards the hotel.

  Hey! This pose! This direction! Are you going to be misunderstood?!

  "Put me down!" I said in a low voice, my cheeks burning, "I'm fine!"

  Jiang Zhen's arm tightened instead, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't move."

  His voice was a cold, unfamiliar tone that I had never heard before. He stared at my half-face with no expression, his lips pursed into a hard line, and his gaze fixed straight ahead without any warmth. My heart suddenly felt uneasy, was he angry?

  Why be angry?

  It can't be that I couldn't pull my foot back in time, could it?

  It can't be because I'm going to take a photo in the park across the street, right?

  After some thought, I think it's wisest to say nothing at this time.
