Chapter 677: If You Can’t Drive, Ride a Bicycle!
"Can you even drive? If you can’t, ride a bike! How did you manage to hit me on a sidewalk?"
Bai Xiqin looked up at Leng Yebai with an annoyed glance, but her words were still relatively polite.
Inside, she was already cursing.
She only came out today to buy some calcium tablets for Bai Yifan, and she got hit by a car!
This is a sidewalk!
The light was red, and the car still drove forward!
"Sorry, let me take you to the hospital!"
A hint of apology flashed in Leng Yebai’s eyes as he looked at Bai Xiqin’s arm.
Just as his hand was about to touch Bai Xiqin’s arm, she had already supported her back and stood up.
"No need."
Bai Xiqin glanced at her arm. It was just a flesh wound, not too serious. She would just apply some ointment when she got home.
Or she could find Zhang Yiming later and play to the helpless, having him apply the medicine and feed her lunch too.
Leng Yebai opened his mouth to say something more but found he didn’t know what to say.
His gaze moved from Bai Xiqin’s injured arm to her face.
This was the first time he’d really looked at Bai Xiqin’s face.
The first thing Leng Yebai noticed were her dark eyes.
Bottomless, the dark pupils had tiny twinklings, reflecting his cold face.
A fair-skinned young girl with long eyelashes that fluttered like feathers when she blinked.
Leng Yebai had never found a girl attractive before.
The people he saw, whether men or women, were always the same to him.
Business partners or strangers.
But every feature of the girl in front of him happened to fit his aesthetics.
Love at first sight might be an exaggeration, but Leng Yebai couldn’t take his eyes off her.
It felt so familiar, yet he couldn’t remember where he might have met her.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
Leng Yebai couldn’t help but ask.
When he spoke those words, he was startled himself.
His heart began to beat uncontrollably, and his ears were quietly waiting for the girl to speak.
"No, I don’t know you."
Bai Xiqin glanced at Leng Yebai without much feeling, bending over with effort to pick up the calcium tablets that had fallen to the ground.
Bai Yifan was in high school and needed to take calcium tablets every day, all kinds of them.
Upon hearing Bai Xiqin’s words, Leng Yebai felt slightly disappointed.
His tall and straight figure bent slightly, and his long, strong hand helped Bai Xiqin pick up the bottled calcium tablets from the ground.
"My car didn’t even move here! You hit my car, and I’m not making you pay, so don’t make me pay either!"
A loud voice rang out.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai simultaneously looked up and saw an elderly man in a sanitation uniform.
"I was the one who hit the car, I’ll compensate," said Leng Yebai.
He didn’t care about the money.
Uncle Wang blinked and looked a bit guiltily at his barely dented garbage truck.
The luxury car opposite was basically a write-off.
The difference between stone and egg.
Both were made of metal, but Uncle Wang’s green garbage truck appeared sturdier.
Uncle Wang didn’t recognize the emblem on the car, but it obviously looked expensive!
So costly that he couldn’t afford to pay for it even if he went broke.
"No worries, I won’t make you pay!"
Uncle Wang waved his hand nonchalantly, seeing that neither of the "car accident parties," Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, were hurt, he climbed back onto his green garbage truck.
He floored the accelerator, and the green garbage truck sped away, leaving a trail of dust.
Only a waiting tow truck was left with the black luxury car.
Leng Yebai didn’t look at the garbage truck that had disappeared into the distance and handed the retrieved calcium tablets to Bai Xiqin.
Bai Xiqin took the calcium tablets and turned to leave.
"You..."
Leng Yebai watched as Bai Xiqin’s figure got further away, feeling like he suddenly lost a lot.
He couldn’t say why or understand it.
He had never had it, but felt as if he lost everything.
Leng Yebai strode after her, even though he didn’t know what to say, he just felt he should.
"What’s up?"
Bai Xiqin frowned and looked at Leng Yebai.
This guy is quite handsome, why is he so persistent?
She had already said she was fine; he should go while he could, or she’d report his license plate to her dad, and he’d be ruined!
Her great Lawyer Bai could turn his luxury car into a bicycle!
"I... wanted to ask if you have a boyfriend,"
Leng Yebai’s lips moved and he said that, almost involuntarily.
He thought he might be going crazy.
His once tranquil heart rippled.
He had only just laid eyes on her, yet it seemed like they had known each other forever.
"Yes."
Bai Xiqin nodded, her lips curling slightly with a faint smile.
She seemed to be thinking of something pleasant, and Leng Yebai felt the girl’s face grew ever gentler.
With that, Leng Yebai could say no more.
Suppressing his emotions, he continued, "There’s a hospital nearby, I can take you there."
"There’s no need."
Bai Xiqin raised her eyebrows slightly at Leng Yebai, took a pack of tissues from her pocket, and handed it directly to him.
"You’d better go see a doctor yourself!"
With that, Bai Xiqin left.
Leng Yebai took the tissues from Bai Xiqin in a daze.
All he could think about was Bai Xiqin’s eyebrow-raising gesture towards him earlier.
So familiar.
Leng Yebai stood there on the street, clutching the tissues, staring blankly ahead, the familiar figure had already disappeared.
Yet his heart was still trembling.
A tremor from the depths of his soul.
As the girl’s figure disappeared, he felt as if he really had nothing now, all alone.
Leng Yebai clenched the tissues tightly, unable to let go of the feeling in his heart.
No one could tell him why or how he felt this way, even though it was just the first meeting.
Sure, this girl was beautiful, exactly his type.
Even so, why did he care so much?
It was clearly just the first sight, wasn’t it?
Moreover, he didn’t even know her name.
"Mommy, that uncle is having a nosebleed!"
A child’s voice sounded.
"That uncle is overheated, if you don’t eat more vegetables, you’ll have nosebleeds too!"
A middle-aged woman seized the opportunity to scare her child.
"Oh."
The child nodded obediently and left with his mother.
Leng Yebai instinctively touched his face, feeling nothing.
He looked down at his hand and saw it was covered in red blood.
Leng Yebai was momentarily stunned.
How did he not feel he had a nosebleed?
It dawned on Leng Yebai that the girl had handed him the tissue to wipe his nosebleed.
Finally aware, Leng Yebai began to tend to his nosebleed.
He went through the entire pack of tissues, yet there was still red blood on his hands.
Looking down, he noticed his clothes were also stained with red blood.
The nosebleed was persistent, which was not normal.
At that moment, an ambulance arrived in front of his wrecked luxury car.
Several people in white coats quickly disembarked, unable to find any victims of the accident.
Finally, some distance from the luxury car, they found Leng Yebai still with a nosebleed.
Thus, Leng Yebai was ushered into the ambulance.
Even sitting in the ambulance, Leng Yebai hadn’t fully processed what was happening.
Allowing others to clean the blood off his face, his eyes were somewhat vacant.
He felt a sense of inexplicable loss, not knowing what he lost.
Elsewhere.
Zhang Yiming had just finished a brain scan, waiting for the results.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming wore a taut expression, looking even more tense than Zhang Yiming.
