A spring morning.
The sky is clear blue, and the bright sunshine pours down like a thin veil, enveloping the entire Liunan City with warmth. In this season, Liusu Road is undoubtedly the most popular place in Liunan City.
The reason why Liusu Road is called this name is because there are tassel trees planted on both sides of the road .
The tassel is also called "April Snow" because every April, clusters of pure white tassel flowers bloom beautifully on the branches, so dense and lush, stretching as if to no end, just like a snowy scene in winter, so beautiful.
The breeze blew gently, and wisps of faint floral fragrance were blown away, diffusing over the entire city.
Xu Wanda drove slowly into Liusu Road. Her favorite classical music was playing on the speakers. Occasionally, she would hum along. Familiar fragrance drifted in from the window and hit her nose. The gentle wind blew her long black hair, making her pretty face look even more delicate and beautiful.
Soon after the car entered Liusu Road, she began to look for him among the people coming and going on both sides of the road. At this time, her mobile phone beside her vibrated. She glanced at the screen and immediately answered the call. Soon, Bai Chenming's familiar voice came from the headset: "Wanda, where are you?"
She looked around and said, "I'm at Liusu Road, but I don't see you."
"Are we there yet? Let me see." Bai Chenming paused, then said happily, "I saw your car. Please park it nearby. I'm in this teahouse where we first met."
"Okay." Xu Wanda turned the steering wheel and prepared to stop the car on the side of the road, but she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter? Why do you have to say it there?"
"You'll know when you come." Bai Chenming smiled softly, with a mysterious tone in his voice.
"Okay, then you wait for me." Xu Wanda smiled faintly and then hung up the phone.
Although she and Bai Chenming have been classmates since high school, they met unexpectedly in a teahouse on Liusu Road. From the beginning they knew each other to now they have become good friends who can talk about anything. There is a very wonderful tacit understanding between them, or it can be said that he has a pair of discerning eyes and can see through many of her concerns at a glance without her having to say them out loud.
When she is sad, he will silently protect her; when she is troubled, he will do his best to help her solve her problems. He is tall, handsome, cheerful, gentle and considerate. He is definitely the ideal boyfriend!
Although he and she have a very good relationship, there is a lack of love, so they are more like relatives than boyfriend and girlfriend.
Since she met Bai Chenming, he had rarely been so mysterious in front of her, so at this moment she was more or less curious and expectant.
After finally finding an empty seat, Xu Wanda slowly stopped the car, picked up her bag, put her cell phone in it, and then got out of the car.
After closing the car door, she raised her head slightly. Densely packed tassel flowers were blooming. Their pure white and delicate petals were clustered together, like clouds in the sky or snow in winter, so beautiful and dreamy.
She took a deep breath of the fragrant air and walked towards the teahouse on the side of the road happily.
The teahouse is not large in area, but its design is quite unique. It looks more like a carefully crafted work of art rather than a building. This is why many people come here.
She gently pushed open the glass door, and a clear and pleasant sound of wind chimes rang out, making people feel happy.
The teahouse is decorated in a quiet and elegant style, and is filled with fragrance.
Next to the floor-to-ceiling window, a pot of elegant little daisies quietly bathes in the sun, quietly blooming in the most beautiful posture.
The young man sitting by the window saw her at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile.
A faint smile broke out on Xu Wanda's face and she walked towards him.
"Have you been waiting long?" She put her bag aside and sat down opposite him.
"I just arrived a while ago." Bai Chenming smiled slightly, "Sorry, I just called and heard that you were here, so I took the initiative to order a cup of flower tea for you."
After hearing what he said, she noticed that there was already a cup of rose tea in front of her. A trace of warmth welled up from the bottom of her heart, and she said happily: "Chen Ming, you know me best! You know that my favorite drink is rose tea!"
She picked up the teacup and blew gently. A few beautiful rose petals in the cup floated on the water, swaying slightly. A faint rose fragrance spread in the air. She moved closer to the teacup and took a sip. The sweet taste instantly occupied her taste buds. She closed her eyes and savored it slowly. She felt that even her breath had a faint fragrance.
She felt particularly happy and couldn't help but smile like a flower.
After a while, she finally opened her eyes, raised her long eyelashes, looked at the boy opposite with clear eyes, and said with a smile: "Tell me, you specially chose this place today and asked me to come here so solemnly, what good news is there?"
Bai Chenming gazed at her tenderly and asked instead of answering: "Wanda, do you still remember the first time we met?"
"Of course I remember!" Xu Wanda blinked her eyes and showed a playful smile on her face. "At that time, I was doing odd jobs here and you came here to drink tea. I almost spilled a cup of scalding hot tea on you! Fortunately, you reacted quickly, otherwise such hot tea would have spilled on you, and I guess you would have left a permanent scar on your body!"
"Then we got to know each other through fighting, and became good friends instead." Bai Chenming smiled knowingly, "The mark was not left on my body, but in my heart."
"That's true!" Xu Wanda nodded in agreement. She rolled her eyes and couldn't wait to change the subject. She said anxiously, "You asked me to come here today not just to reminisce about the past, right?"
"Well, it's actually like this..."
Bai Chenming paused and looked at her intently, with a gleam in his eyes, as if hiding a secret.
Xu Wanda put her hands on the table and listened carefully to what he was going to say next.
But as if by magic, a large bunch of roses appeared in his hands. The rose buds were bright red, and the petals were as smooth and tender as the finest silk. A rich rose fragrance wafted to his nose.
Xu Wanda opened her eyes wide in surprise, an incredible light shone in her black pearl-like pupils, her cherry-like lips slightly opened, as if she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. It took her a long time to make a sound: "You can't be..."
A faint blush suddenly appeared on Bai Chenming's handsome face. He nervously clenched the rose in his hand and slowly handed it to her, gazing at her deeply. His light brown pupils shone with a gentle glow, like sunlight wrapped in glass, warm and transparent.
"Wanda..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Wanda had already taken the flower from his hand. A sly look flashed across her black pearl-like pupils. She smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone that this is for me, okay?"
"This is... for the person I like..." Bai Chenming's voice was filled with unprecedented nervousness, but his eyes looked at her with utmost sincerity, with uncontrollable emotions welling up in his eyes.
"Chenming, do you really have someone you like?" Xu Wanda exclaimed excitedly, and then deliberately said with a bit of contempt, "You are not here to ask for my opinion, are you?"
Bai Chenming was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "If it were you, would you accept it?"
Xu Wanda looked at the bunch of roses in her hand and said thoughtfully, "Although giving roses is a bit tacky, she is a girl after all. How can she not be moved when she sees such a bunch of bright and beautiful roses?"
Bai Chenming was delighted, with a warm smile in his eyes, and said affectionately: "Actually, the person I want to send it to is..."
"Wait, don't say anything yet, let me guess!" Xu Wanda interrupted him and started to guess with great interest. Her dark eyes rolled around and a candidate immediately came to her mind. She said confidently, "Is it the beauty from the Department of Fine Arts? You two seem to be attracted to each other!"
"No way! She and I only organized an event together. We have no private contact!" Bai Chenming shook his head in a puzzled manner.
"It's not her?" Xu Wanda was a little surprised and confused, and then she started to think seriously. After a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, "It must be the girl next door to your house, right? It seems like you have always had a good relationship, right?"
Bai Chenming smiled and coughed lightly, a hint of helplessness showing on his handsome face, "I watched her grow up and always treated her as my sister."
"It's not her? Then who else could it be?"
Xu Wanda was greatly disappointed. She sighed deeply and scratched her hair in confusion. Her dark eyes turned again and again, and her sight accidentally fell on the road not far from the window.
She saw a dazzling Lamborghini making a big turn at a speed as fast as a drag racer. It was an extremely dangerous and exciting scene. She didn't think much of it at first, but when her eyes fell on her car parked on the side of the road at the turn, she was suddenly shocked!
She prayed devoutly in her heart - that crazy Lamborghini, like a runaway horse, must not accidentally have a "close contact" with her car!
Bai Chenming, who was sitting opposite her, did not notice the change in her heart. He thought she was still guessing the question, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Actually, I want to give this flower to--"
"hateful!"
He was about to say a few key words, but found that Xu Wanda slammed the table angrily, her eyes blazing with anger, and stared out the window hatefully!
He was slightly surprised, and looked at Xu Wanda, who suddenly became furious, with some confusion. When he opened his mouth and was about to speak, she had already picked up her bag and said to him hurriedly, "Chenming, I have something to do and I'll leave first. I'll contact you later!"
Then, without waiting for his answer, she hurried to the door.
Bai Chenming hurriedly stood up from his chair and called out anxiously, "Wanda, what happened?"
The only response he got was the sound of wind chimes at the door. Helplessly, he called the waiter to pay the bill and then chased after him.
Xu Wanda quickly ran to her parking spot, walked around her beloved car, and looked at the obvious scratches on the car body, suddenly feeling extremely distressed.
She clenched her fists and swore secretly: "Baby, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
The Lamborghini that had just had an "intimate contact" with her car when turning also stopped under the tassel tree a few meters away.
The wheels brought up countless light tasseled petals, which swirled into the air, then floated down involuntarily, landing in a mess on the ground.
She turned around indignantly, glared at the Lamborghini angrily, bit her lip, and strode towards it aggressively!
She walked to the driver's door and knocked hard on the window with two fingers.
The car window slowly lowered.
A handsome and arrogant profile slowly appeared in her field of vision. A pair of sunglasses covered most of his face, but could not conceal his lethal handsomeness. Slightly messy hair blocked his forehead, and a faint light flowed through his hair, highlighting his unruly look.
There seemed to be a mysterious yet arrogant aura about him, emitting a strong sense of oppression——
Her breath couldn't help but hitch a little.
"You, you come down..."
Her momentum of coming to accuse someone dropped a little in an instant. She forced herself to remain calm, straightened her chest, and tried to appear fearless, but her trembling voice completely betrayed her.
The young man turned his handsome face to the side, raised his chin slightly, and stared at her calmly through his sunglasses. His whole body exuded a kind of superiority, coldness, and casualness.
A breeze blew by, and the tassel flowers fell quietly like snow. The pure white petals fluttered around them, and the scene was extremely quiet and beautiful.
Xu Wanda stared at him blankly, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart, as if she had suddenly returned to that snowy night many years ago...
The snowflakes fell quietly that night, and the person standing opposite her...
Her heart trembled slightly for no reason. She tried to open her eyes wide and stare at him. Her cherry-like lips opened, but she completely forgot what to say.
"What's up? If you want to chat me up, you've got the wrong person!"
There was no emotion or warmth in the boy's charming voice.
Xu Wanda came back to her senses and was completely enraged by his simple question!
Her pretty face flushed, her bright eyes filled with anger. She glared at the boy in front of her and said angrily, "What's the matter? You're asking me what's the matter? You scratched my car while racing, don't you know? Get out of the car immediately and give me a reasonable solution!"
The boy glanced in the direction of her car and said indifferently: "This matter is not entirely my fault. You parked your car randomly, so I didn't avoid it and accidentally scratched it. Your car is damaged, and my car is not much better. Let's call it even. Let's end this matter here. I'm busy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pressed the window closing button.
"Who said we're even?" Extreme anger instantly occupied Xu Wanda's entire brain. In a rage, she stretched out a hand and tried to forcibly hold down the window that was about to close, shouting angrily: "You are such a bastard! My car was parked properly on the side of the road, and so many cars passed by without any problems. But your car drove over like crazy and scratched my car, and you still dare to blame me for not choosing a good place to park..."
Before she could finish her words, the young man suddenly reached out and pried her fingers apart one by one. Then he quickly started the car, reversed quickly, and drove away swiftly, leaving a trail of white petals on the ground.
"Hey! How dare you run! Who are you?" Xu Wanda was so angry that she was about to explode!
She glared at the direction of the Lamborghini in frustration and felt the blood in her body rushing up!
She stamped her feet, turned around and ran to her car, started the car as fast as she could, then chased after him stubbornly with an angry look on her face!
I have never seen such an arrogant guy! He has a decent face, but he is such a rogue. How hateful! How hateful!
She will never let him go easily!
She kept stepping on the accelerator, desperately trying to catch up with the car in front!
At this moment, the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang, but she had no intention to answer the call at this time, but the familiar ringtone kept ringing over and over again.
She frowned slightly and answered the phone reluctantly.
"Wanda, why were you driving so fast just now? When I chased you out, I saw you talking to someone. What happened? What were you doing so fast? I couldn't catch up with you."
As soon as the phone was connected, Bai Chenming fired off a series of questions like a machine gun, his tone full of anxiety and worry.
"It's okay, I just met a bastard. He scratched my car and then put the blame on me and ran away. I'm going to chase him and ask for compensation now!" Xu Wanda tried hard to calm down and make her voice sound less angry.
"But that's very dangerous! Wanda, forget it, all the losses today will be on me, okay?" Bai Chenming coaxed her softly, "Be good, come back soon, okay?"
Xu Wanda was not willing to give up and just said hurriedly: "It's okay! I'm driving, I won't talk about it anymore, bye!"
After hanging up the call, she concentrated on steering the car, chasing the Lamborghini out of Liusu Road at a high speed. At this time, she finally found an opportunity, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel to the left, and her car moved forward quickly, finally driving side by side with the Lamborghini.
She rolled down the window, stretched out her slender arms, and yelled at the car next to her: "Hey, you damned fellow, stop the car for me, stop the car!"
The car window opposite also rolled down, revealing the handsome young face again. He turned around and glanced at her pretending to be unintentional. His sexy thin lips slightly raised a subtle arc, silently revealing a bewitching charm.
He ignored her words and continued to turn the steering wheel lazily, and the car sped forward under his control.
Being ignored by him in such a provocative way, Xu Wanda's anger surged even more. It was as if there was a fire burning in her chest. Her clear eyes were filled with anger. She glared at him angrily, "Didn't you hear me? Are you deaf? I told you to stop the car! You bastard!"
The man in the Lamborghini turned around and looked at her again. His dark sunglasses blocked the expression in his eyes, so his joy or anger could not be seen. However, his tightly pursed lips exuded a sharp aura that could not be ignored, which made people shudder.
He stepped on the accelerator, mastered the steering wheel skillfully, and the car roared forward rapidly!
Xu Wanda naturally didn't want to be left behind, so she stepped on the accelerator and chased after him. She honked the horn and shouted, "I'm warning you, if you don't stop and apologize to me and compensate me, I'll call the police right away! I've already written down your license plate number!"
Hearing her words, the young man in the car curled his sexy lips slightly, turned around and mouthed two words to her: "Go ahead!"
The wind blowing in from the window blew up the hair on his forehead. His light purple shirt was glowing with a faint luster. The two buttons under the collar were casually undone, revealing a large area of ​​wheat-colored skin. The sexy curve of his collarbone extended all the way to the shade of his shirt, giving him the look of a completely casual and uninhibited young man.
Xu Wanda was so angry that she was immediately filled with anger. At this moment, she had deeply realized that it was impossible to communicate with such a person!
She controlled the steering wheel with one hand and picked up the mobile phone thrown aside with the other hand. She angrily pressed a few numbers. Before she could press the call button, a sharp horn sounded from behind.
She quickly looked up at the rearview mirror.
It turned out that she was at a forked intersection, and a large truck was speeding towards her on the other asphalt road!
She was shocked, threw away her phone, and subconsciously turned the steering wheel to the right.
“Hiss——”
The tires made a harsh scraping sound against the ground.
Before she could switch her foot from the accelerator to the brake, the car had already rushed towards the guardrail like a mad beast!
"boom--"
The front of the car hit the guardrail heavily.
Even though she was wearing a seat belt, under such a strong impact, her body was thrown forward due to inertia, and her head hit the steering wheel hard. Severe pain spread from her forehead.
The violent collision almost made her faint instantly, but the pain on her forehead and the faint willpower that remained made her instinctively utter a few broken words: "Help, help..."
Then, a stream of warm liquid slowly flowed down from her forehead, wetting her eyelashes, and then dripped quietly...
As large amounts of bright red liquid completely enveloped her vision like a net woven of blood, darkness immediately invaded her brain, completely devouring her remaining consciousness.
“Hiss——”
The Lamborghini slammed on the brakes.
The boy took off his dark sunglasses and threw them aside casually, his eyes fell on the rearview mirror, and he clearly saw the white Chevrolet lying in a mess on the side of the road behind him. A deep and dark light shone through his black gemstone-like pupils, and his sexy lips were slightly pursed. Without thinking too much, he quickly opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
He has a tall and handsome figure, his wheat-colored skin glows attractively in the sun, his dark chestnut hair shines brightly, and his facial features are delicately carved, deep and angular like a mixed-race person, his masculinity seems to be mixed with a bit of evil femininity.
He turned around and looked at the Chevrolet. Through the open window, he could vaguely see the girl in the car.
His handsome eyebrows frowned slightly.
He is not a nosy person, but this matter was caused by him after all, so he can't just sit back and watch.
Closing the car door, he walked quickly towards the Chevrolet.
The girl in a snow-white dress was leaning weakly on the steering wheel, her long black hair covering her face. He didn't know what her situation was, so he knocked on the door tentatively and asked, "Hey, how are you?"
The girl was still lying on the steering wheel, motionless. The car was not turned off and was still buzzing.
He reached into the car, pulled out the car key, and gently pushed her body, "Can you hear me?"
Also without getting an answer, he subconsciously lifted the girl's long hair, revealing half of her pretty but pale face.
He was slightly startled.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly surged up from the bottom of my heart like a tide.
It's as if he was bewitched by something.
This girl clearly looks so ordinary, but why does she feel so familiar?
He couldn't help but shake his head. What happened today? In this cruel world, after going through so many things, hadn't his heart been frozen and dead many years ago? No one and nothing could affect or shake him anymore, right?
He gently pushed her twice again, and seeing that she still didn't respond, he took a deep breath, opened the car door, and stretched out his hands to pick her up. At the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the cell phone that fell beside him. He picked it up and put it in his pocket, then carefully carried her out of the driver's seat.
Her long black satin-like hair fell down, revealing a shocking wound on her forehead. The red blood gushing out made her face look even paler. A fishy and sweet smell spread silently in the air...
My chest suddenly tightened for no apparent reason.
He frowned, hugged her tightly, ran quickly to his car, gently put her on the back seat and let her lie down. After taking a look at the wound on her forehead, he returned to the driver's seat with a serious expression, started the car, and drove to the nearest hospital as fast as possible.
Half an hour later.
Hospital, in the corridor outside the emergency room.
The sunlight filtered in softly through the window. The young man stood quietly in the pale sunlight. He was wearing a pair of ordinary casual trousers that could not hide his slender and well-built legs at all. He was wearing a light purple shirt with his sleeves casually rolled up, yet it looked incredibly gorgeous.
He held the phone in his hand, staring at the screen with dark eyes. His slender fingers quickly pressed a series of numbers on the keyboard, then he put it to his ear and waited for the other party to answer.
A familiar girl's voice soon came from the phone. She said anxiously, "Momo, why haven't you arrived yet?"
The young man leaned his back against the wall. Hearing the other person calling him like that, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He raised his handsome face slightly, looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, took a breath and said, "I had an accident on the road today, so I can't leave for the time being. Xinyu, help me delay, I will be there in a while."
"What happened? Are you okay?" The girl on the other end immediately became nervous.
"This is a long story. I'll explain it to you another day." The boy rubbed his forehead. "Xinyu, now you must find a way to delay the time as much as possible, and then wait for me to solve it."
"OK, no problem!" The girl agreed happily, but then she said in a coquettish tone, "If this succeeds, what reward will you give me?"
The boy's sexy lips curled slightly: "How about adding an extra zero to the end of your bonus?"
"Oh my! Momo, you are so mean! You clearly know that's not what I want!"
The young man shook his head helplessly: "Xinyu, I don't think now is the time to talk about this. Go and calm those people down first. This time it's up to you."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll find a way to deal with it." Before hanging up, the girl said to the phone, "Kiss!"
The boy shook his head helplessly and smiled.
Xinyu had never concealed her love for him, and she would not give up any opportunity to express her love to him. Of course, he knew that she was not a casual girl, she was just too frank and enthusiastic, and sometimes so cute that he could not do anything about her.
The most precious thing is that she is his best partner. Although they each have their own interests, it has to be admitted that she has really helped him a lot.
He leaned against the wall and pondered for a moment, his thoughts returned to the girl who was being rescued in the emergency room. He glanced at the time on his mobile phone, and his deep pupils darkened a little.
What exactly is going on in the emergency room?
He had very limited time now, and waiting any longer was no solution. After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something. He immediately took out another mobile phone from his pocket, which was the one he had taken out when he carried the girl out of the car. At that time, he had just taken it in case of an emergency, but now it seemed that this was the only way.
He searched through her phone address book, but all her numbers were saved by name, and he couldn't tell which ones were her relatives.
In desperation, he had to find the recent contacts in her phone and dial the number.
The waiting ringtone on the phone just sounded, and someone immediately answered it. The voice on the other end sounded very anxious: "Where are you now? Did you catch up with that person? Listen to me, it doesn't matter even if you didn't catch up with that person. There are so many scoundrels like that nowadays. There's no need to be angry with them."
The boy's expression darkened, but there was no emotion in his voice: "Hello, I am the rogue you mentioned. Now your friend or relative has had an accident and hit the guardrail. He is in the hospital for emergency treatment. Do you have time to come over now?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then an excited and angry voice came out, "What happened to Wanda? What did you do to her? Where are you now?"
As if he had expected the other party to have such doubts, the boy subconsciously said: "I didn't cause any harm to her body... Wait!"
His expression suddenly changed, and a light of disbelief welled up in his eyes. He secretly clenched his phone and asked in a low voice, "You just said that her name is - Wanda?"
There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice.
"Yeah, what's wrong with her name being Wanda?" Bai Chenming on the other end of the phone was in no mood to talk to him about this, and kept asking, "Tell me, where are you?"
The boy said the name of the hospital expressionlessly, then hung up the phone. He then turned his head blankly and looked at the door of the emergency room with complicated eyes...
Wanda...
The girl in the emergency room right now, is she also called Wanda?
This name was once the only name that had ever warmed his heart...
Ten minutes later.
The door of the emergency room finally opened.
A male doctor wearing a mask strode out.
The young man who had been guarding the door immediately came forward and asked nervously, "How is she?"
The male doctor took off the mask on his face and replied, "The wound on her forehead has been bandaged. It should heal in a while. However, she suffered a slight concussion from the impact on her head. She needs to stay in the hospital for observation overnight."
Hearing the doctor say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, doctor."
"You're welcome. This is my duty."
The male doctor smiled slightly, then turned around and told the nurse behind him some details that should be paid attention to.
Xu Wanda, who was still in a coma, was slowly pushed out of the emergency room and transferred to the general ward.
The young boy followed to the ward.
The nurse hung up the IV and did everything before leaving the ward. In the entire ward, apart from the unconscious girl on the bed, there was only the young boy standing alone beside the bed.
He stared at the person on the bed with a complex and deep gaze, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart...
As if he couldn't help himself, he slowly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the bandaged area on her forehead with his slender fingers, then her delicate eyebrows, her straight and small nose, and her delicate and light pink lips...
Every time he touched a part of her, his movements were extremely careful and gentle, as if she was a priceless treasure that he cherished so much that he was afraid it would break at the slightest touch.
Just like a dream...
The boy stared at her intently, his dark pupils shimmering with a faint sheen like water, his sexy lips slightly parted, and he whispered to himself, "Is it really you?"
