Chapter 2: Settlement Begins with Sadness 05
When it was getting dark, I received a call from my dad, informing me that I didn't need to prepare dinner for them that night, and I could just take care of it myself. I had just woken up and didn't hear clearly, but later I realized that he had called Ning Qiyuan to the police station. Although I knew it was because of school matters, I still unconsciously imagined the scene of Ning Qiyuan accompanying my dad to treat people to dinner. With his personality, he might directly piss people off, and in the end, the school might not be able to handle it. At that time... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart, and with this laugh, the unhappiness also dissipated a little.
However, I soon realized that I was wrong. The change came too suddenly, like a tsunami, which usually does not give any advance warning. By the time I reacted, it was too late. I could only allow the damage to continue and double, without any room to fight back.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up by a phone call while sleeping soundly. I always get grumpy when I wake up, and what I hate most is being disturbed when I sleep. After answering the phone, I yelled at the other party without caring about anything. Maybe the voice was too loud and fierce, the person on the phone was scared and a little impatient, and told me in a very rude and cold voice: "Miss, your family is in trouble."
I was immediately startled by this strange and cold voice. After apologizing repeatedly, I asked what happened. It turned out that Ning Qiyuan and my father had a car accident and were now unconscious in the hospital. I needed to go there immediately to handle the formalities. This news made me panic. After a few seconds, I asked the nurse for the address of the hospital and hurried out.
It was already the middle of the night and it was difficult to hail a taxi. I didn't wait there, but opened Baidu Maps on my phone to check the location of the hospital, then ran there directly, checking if there were any cars passing by on the road.
During the journey, I thought of many possibilities. I was also very scared. The car accident could be a big or small matter. I didn't know what Ning Qiyuan's current condition was. The nurse only told me that my father was in danger and the hospital didn't even have any type B blood in stock. It would take at least an hour to get blood from another hospital. When blood is scarce, time is life. When I thought that if I didn't hurry up, my father might die at any time, I was trembling with fear.
When I was a child, my mother died of illness in the hospital. I tried so hard to get over the pain of losing my mother. But now, 10 years later, is my father going to leave too?
I ran with tears flowing all the way. I never thought the road ahead would be so far away, so far away that even I, a tiny person, could not reach it even if I tried my best. I want to ask God, is it true that the more you want something, the more you cannot get it? The more important things are, the more they are often taken away mercilessly? For example, life, for example, the simplest happiness.
When I arrived at the hospital, I was almost exhausted from running. As soon as I entered the emergency area, the nurse took me to have my blood drawn. After the blood draw, I was completely paralyzed. I sat on a chair in the corridor to rest while asking the traffic police who were handling the accident nearby about the accident.
To my great surprise, the traffic police said that the driver was Ning Qiyuan! When the car accident happened, my father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, protected him, so he was not seriously injured, but my father was in critical condition.
I wanted to see my dad, but the nurse told me that my dad was still in the operating room, so I had to go see Ning Qiyuan. I entered the observation room and saw Ning Qiyuan lying on the bed with a bandage wrapped around his forehead. The bandage had a trace of blood seeping out, but his breathing was stable. The nurse told me that he was fine, just a slight concussion. I breathed a sigh of relief and sat aside waiting for him to wake up.
I want to know what happened and why the car accident happened. Is it because Ning Qiyuan can't drive? Why did he drive when he can't drive?
I had so many questions in my mind, and because I was too worried about my dad's current condition, I felt very uncomfortable. When I saw Ning Qiyuan's eyelashes blink, I immediately rushed over and called him, "Ning Qiyuan, Ning Qiyuan?"
Ning Qiyuan slowly opened his eyes. When he saw me, his eyes seemed evasive. He ignored me and closed his eyes again.
I thought he was going to faint again, so I pressed the bedside bell to call the doctor.
The doctor on duty examined Ning Qiyuan and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him. He then told me to take good care of her. After the doctor and the nurse left, I returned to the bedside and asked him, "Ning Qiyuan, I heard that you were the one driving the car?"
"Yeah." Ning Qiyuan was completely sober. He answered very honestly, but intentionally or unintentionally avoided my gaze and only looked at the snow-white ceiling.
"Can you drive?" I asked angrily.
"Yes." Ning Qiyuan was sure.
But if that was the case, why did the car accident happen? Before I could ask, Ning Qiyuan said something that I couldn't understand at all: "Tong Shuchen, I did it on purpose. I deliberately hit the truck parked on the side of the road."
"What did you say? On purpose?" I said these two words , and my body suddenly began to tremble. I suddenly remembered that on my 15th birthday, he also said something very similar to what I am saying now. He said, "Let me tell you, Tong Shuchen, I did it on purpose. I deliberately fought with others and deliberately made you miss your birthday."
They are exactly the same and all intentional.
"Why?" I leaned down angrily and grabbed his collar tightly with both hands, forcing him to face me, and my voice was surprisingly loud, "Why did you do this? Why did you hurt my dad, why? Tell me!" The moment the voice fell, my tears, which had stopped flowing, began to flow again, falling uncontrollably on Ning Qiyuan's face drop by drop.
One is my only relative, and the other is someone I grew up with and lived with for 5 years. Even if there are some minor conflicts in life, how could they warrant such hurtful behavior?
Ning Qiyuan's eyes closed unconsciously, then opened, and he smiled: "Tong Shuchen, go ask your dad, don't ask me."
"My dad is still giving first aid!" I yelled again, tears streaming down my face. My heart ached so much that I convulsed and my hands shook so hard that I could hardly hold on.
Ning Qiyuan smiled easily, his voice light but full of malice: "So is he dead now?"
I swear, I have never hated Ning Qiyuan as much as I do now. Even when he bullied me before, I was still making excuses for him, but at this moment, I hate him so much!
I didn't care that he was injured and I slapped him like crazy. But I was too tired from running and had just had my blood drawn, so I had no strength in my body. The slap on Ning Qiyuan's face didn't hurt at all, and I almost fell down because I didn't stand firmly.
"Ning Qiyuan! You're crazy!" I was so angry that my whole body was shaking and my temples were throbbing with pain. "Do you still have a conscience? My dad is so good to you. He even remembered to protect you during the car accident. Why did you want to hurt him? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Even a dog knows to wag its tail at its owner, but you are worse than a dog! You are an ungrateful person!"
"Heh." Ning Qiyuan laughed again, and did not refute. He just replied to me indifferently, "You just realized it now, it's too late."
It's late indeed.
He is not only bad, but also has no bottom line.
