Qingchu traffic accident

  He didn't speak, she was silent too, the two of them were stuck on the phone like this, the atmosphere was so stifling that even Xia Weiliang, who was driving next to them, felt like he was about to suffocate and quickly rolled down the window for some air.

  Finally, Xu Liuzhang managed to stammer out a few words with great difficulty.

  "I'd rather lose with dignity..."

  Yes, she was willing to gamble and lose. Chen Qingchu came, she lost, and she was willing to fulfill the promise he made that she would never leave him again. At this time, she had a feeling of self-abandonment and self-destruction, and she felt guilty for disappointing her hopes in Chen Qingchu.

  "Alright! Xu Liu'ou, you'd better remember what you said today!"

  His tone sounded less icy than it had just now.

  "Tomorrow afternoon I want to see you appear at Yushu Lanting!"

  She hung up the phone with a bitter smile, burying her head deep in her palms, never to leave, never to leave. How far is his "forever"? A long time later, when he finally gave up on her and didn't want her anymore, she wanted to ask him, was this what he meant by "forever"?

  "Liuyi, are you alright?"

  Xia felt a chill and saw that she was in a bad mood, so he quickly pulled over to the side of the road and asked her with concern.

  She lifted her head, with tears streaming down her face

  "Cool breeze, you say, what is love after all?"

  Xia Wei Liang let out a sigh and leaned back in her chair, gazing out at the night scene outside.

  "This thing called love, for thousands of years, no one has ever truly understood it, whether in ancient or modern times, whether in China or abroad. I don't know what love is either, but I feel that who spends their life with whom is all predestined!"

  Xia Wei Liang turned around and looked at her with a serious expression, saying:

  "Flowing, it's the person destined for you, no matter how hard you try to escape, after all these years of twists and turns, you still end up by his side! If not him, no matter how much you wait with bated breath, chase and think of, in the end, it will all be like strangers on a road!"

  Xu Liu just stared blankly at Xia Weiliang's pale and serene face in the night, finally covering her face with her hand and bowing her head to cry out loud.

  Until today, she finally understood that no matter how much she and Chen Qingchu had loved each other in the past, no matter what unavoidable reasons they had parted ways for, now they were completely strangers to each other, just like Lu Zhouyu said, they could never go back, never go back...

  Xia Weiliang sent her downstairs, and she returned home in a daze and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. She didn't know how long she had slept when her phone suddenly rang sharply in the middle of the night. She answered it in a daze, and the piercing sound of an ambulance siren and the noise of a crowd entered her ears, accompanied by a panicked male voice.

  "Xu Liu'ao, Qing Chu has gotten into trouble!"

  She suddenly sat up in bed with a complete loss of sleepiness.

  "What happened?"

  She could tell that the boy's voice was one of his several friends.

  "He left Qingchu like that tonight, and he was so heartbroken that he drank a lot of wine. We told him we'd take him home but he refused to listen, and ended up driving himself home, crashing into the stone pillar by the side of the road... now he's been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment..."

  Xu Liu's heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy object, and she doubled over in pain, clutching her phone as she collapsed onto the bed. The boy's anguished voice echoed in her ear...

  "Xǔ Liú Yī? Xǔ Liú Yī?"

  She finally straightened her waist with difficulty and asked with trembling lips,

  "Which hospital is he in?"

  After the boy told her, she hung up the phone and rushed out, putting on her clothes without even caring that she was still sleepy and disheveled. Even Lian Su was woken up by her sudden movement and opened the door to ask what had happened, but she didn't have time to answer before running out.

  In her twenty-three years of life, except for that one time when Lian Su suddenly fell ill, she had never been so close to death before. Moreover, the person who was now in a critical condition was someone she had loved with all her heart, so by the time she arrived at the hospital, her face was already as white as a sheet.

  Chen Qingchu's friends were anxiously waiting outside the emergency room, and no one dared to inform Chen Qingchu's parents. The Chen family had only this one son, Chen Qingchu; if anything happened to him, it would be equivalent to taking his parents' lives directly.

  After seeing her come, one of them furiously stepped forward and questioned her.

  "Xu Liu'ou, what's wrong with you? You also know that Qingchu had no choice but to leave back then. Now he's come back to find you, why won't you forgive him?"

  They didn't know that she was already married, nor did they know that Chen Qingchu had also taken a wife. They just thought that since the two of them used to be so in love, now that they've met again, even if they can't be together again, at least they should still be friends. But instead, she's avoiding him like the plague!

  He chased her out and came back after a while, they teased him, saying that it's been a long time since they met, shouldn't there be many things to talk about? How did he come back so quickly? He didn't speak, his eyes were filled with despair and pain, he grabbed the wine cup and poured himself glass after glass.

  There were girls who had a crush on him in school, and after seeing Xu Liu Yu leave, they came over to get close to him. The Chen family was prominent, and Chen Qingchu himself looked excellent, with an outstanding appearance and image. Now that he's back from studying abroad and taking charge of the Chen Corporation, he's an object of pursuit for many girls. However, he coldly scolded them and told them to get lost.

  Xu Liu stood there with her head hung low, not saying a word. She wanted to explain, but couldn't bring herself to speak. The boy, seeing that she wasn't speaking, thought she was guilty or something and became even more furious, directly yelling at her.

  "Are you kidding me? Have you forgotten about Qingchu from our family and fallen in love with someone else at university? Xu Liuyi, you're really..."

  "You're a heartless woman! To think that you were so devoted to me back in high school!"

  "I don't have, I don't have..."

  She shook her head wildly, explaining, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes began to roll down one by one. She hadn't forgotten him, nor had she fallen in love with someone else; she just... accidentally became someone else's woman...

  Another boy who had been watching walked over and pulled away the emotionally charged boy.

  "Alright, alright, don't say anything more, she's not that kind of person!"

  "If something happens to Qingchu this time, I'd like to see how you'll handle it!"

  The boy resentfully threw her a sentence and turned away angrily to wait elsewhere.

  The boy's words made Xu Liu's guilt even deeper. Although Chen Qingchu's car accident was caused by his own drunk driving, after all, it was because of her that he drank so much wine. She was the culprit. If... if something really happened to him... She covered her face with her hands and sat down on the long chair beside her, not daring to think about it anymore.

  The waiting process is long and torturous, enough to drive people crazy. In the dead of night when it's supposed to be quiet, several people couldn't sleep at all. When the doctor came out, they almost pounced on him like wolves, pulling him and anxiously asking questions.

  "How is the doctor?"

  The doctor took off his mask.

  "There's no danger anymore, just a few broken ribs and some minor concussion, rest well and you'll be fine!"

  Several people let out a long sigh, and Xu Liu's tense body relaxed all at once, her figure stumbling slightly. She quickly raised her hand to support herself against the wall, and the doctor looked around at them again, asking:

  "Who is Xu Liuyi?"

  "I am!"

  She replied in a pale face with no strength, and the doctor said again,

  "After the patient woke up, he kept shouting this name, let's go take a look at him in the ward!"

  Her eyes stung again, and the doctor shook his head and sighed as he walked away.

  "These young people, I really don't know what they're thinking. Drinking so much and still daring to drive! Luckily nothing happened this time, if something serious had occurred, no matter how rich you are, it would be useless."

  When Xu Liuyi rushed into Chen Qingchu's ward, he had already woken up. Seeing her appear, he lost control and pulled her hand over to hold it tightly, then put it on his lips to kiss again and again, sobbing.

  "Xiao Li, don't leave me! Don't leave me!"

  She didn't dare struggle for fear of pulling on his wound, so she just let him hold her like that.

  "Qingchu, don't make such violent movements, you'll tear open your wound!"

  "What's the point of reopening old wounds? The pain you've caused me is far greater than any physical pain!"

  Chen Qingchu looked up at her with a sorrowful gaze.

  At that moment when his car crashed into the roadside, he really wanted to die like that, died, and didn't have to bear the pain of being treated as a stranger by her, didn't have to watch her go in and out with that man, didn't have to carry the heavy burden of reviving the family, and didn't have to think about those cunning and scheming means.

  So he didn't turn the steering wheel to avoid it, and just crashed straight into it. Then, in a huge impact, he lost his sense of direction. In a daze, he returned to those youthful days when he was full of vigor, and remembered the first time he saw her, her helpless and pitiful eyes, her slightly red cheeks, and the feeling of holding her slender body in his arms...

  She was so light, her eyes were so helpless, and her face was red as she buried her head in his arms with a shy expression, making his whole heart melt. He wanted to cherish and love her from the bottom of his heart.
