Graduate student Xia Qingqing was on her way back to school after a job interview when she was struck and killed by an object from beyond the skies, transmigrating to the food and water-scarce 1970...
After the last transaction with Glek, Xia Qingqing's space was basically empty of fruit. She wanted to find Zhou Wei to restock, but unexpectedly learned that Zhou Wei had been in a car accident.
Xia Qingqing looked at the person lying on the hospital bed, with gauze wrapped around his left cheek and a cast on his left hand, and immediately became anxious: "How did this happen? How serious is the injury?"
It's no wonder she's so nervous. She finally managed to get matched with the modern world Zhou Wei is in, and she'll need Zhou Wei's help with many things in the future. If Zhou Wei dies, her losses will be huge.
Besides, she and Zhou Wei are about the same age and have known each other for so long, so they must have developed feelings for each other. She would be worried if she suddenly learned that her friend was in trouble.
"It's alright, just some abrasions and a minor fracture. I can be discharged after two days of observation in the hospital," Zhou Wei said with a faint smile on her pale face.
Although her injuries weren't serious, she had several abrasions and fractures that were causing her real pain, making it difficult for her to sleep at night. She had to take a painkiller last night to fall asleep.
Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words. She had thought Zhou Wei's condition was particularly serious and was considering whether to give her a bottle of medicine.
Since it wasn't serious, she didn't plan to let Zhou Wei use the treatment potion. The effects of that stuff were a bit too miraculous, and there was a lot of high technology in the modern world. If it were accidentally discovered, she might be captured and studied.
Zhou Wei briefly explained to Xia Qingqing the reason for her car accident.
Yesterday, on her way home after her tutoring class, it suddenly started raining heavily. Soaked to the bone, she just wanted to find somewhere to take shelter from the rain. As she crossed the intersection, she was grazed by a sports car.
Because the traffic light at that intersection happened to be broken, she was running quite fast when crossing the road. Afterwards, the other person kindly took her to the hospital and even paid her medical expenses. After all this, Zhou Wei felt bad about blaming the other person.
“Isn’t it his duty to compensate you for the hospital expenses? He should have slowed down when driving through the intersection,” Xia Qingqing said. She hadn’t expected Zhou Wei to be so thin-skinned. If it were anyone else, they would have definitely taken advantage of the other party. Why would they feel embarrassed because the other party had offered to pay the medical expenses?
However, Xia Qingqing could understand that most college students hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society and were relatively naive.
A blush crept onto Zhou Wei's face: "Um... I was also at fault, wasn't I? I was in a hurry to find a place to take shelter from the rain and didn't really watch where I was going."
Xia Qingqing didn't say anything more, but instead changed the subject and asked, "Does Auntie know about your accident?"
Zhou Wei nodded and said, "I notified my mom after the accident yesterday. She stayed with me at the hospital all night, and I urged her to go home and wash up this morning."
Thinking of her mother crying her eyes out yesterday, Zhou Wei felt a pang of sadness.
She could really understand her mother's feelings, just like when her mother was sick and hospitalized, she felt like the sky had fallen.
This made Zhou Wei feel even more guilty. She should have been more careful when crossing the road. She couldn't imagine how her mother would cope alone if something happened to her.
After Xia Qingqing inquired about Zhou Wei's well-being, she was about to hang up the video call when Zhou Wei called out to her, "Qingqing, you must have something to say to me, right?"
"It's nothing serious, we can talk about it after you've recovered," Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
Zhou Wei knew that she didn't want to trouble herself because of her injury, so she quickly said, "Is there anything you need to buy? It's just a broken hand, not a broken foot. I can still go out and buy something."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingqing did not continue to refuse and told her what she wanted to buy.
"No problem, I'll buy it for you in a few days," Zhou Wei said with a smile.
Xia Qingqing thought for a moment and sent Zhou Wei a bottle of beauty potion as a gift for visiting her in the hospital.
This beauty potion can be taken internally or used externally. Zhou Wei has several abrasions on her body, especially the one on her face, which could cause serious problems if it leaves a scar.
Another point is that there are many scar removal creams and cosmetic procedures available today, so Xia Qingqing doesn't need to worry that Zhou Wei using this beauty potion will attract attention.
"Qingqing, you're so thoughtful! I was really worried about the scar on my face," Zhou Wei said, overjoyed to receive the gift.
Which girl wouldn't care about her face? Zhou Wei was just about to search online for some good scar removal creams when she received such a big surprise.
"Remember not to use too much at once, this stuff is very effective," Xia Qingqing reminded her.
Zhou Wei gave an OK sign with her right hand: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Such wondrous things must not be discovered by others; before she possesses absolute power, these things will only bring her danger.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the ward door: "Knock knock knock".
"I'll hang up now, let's talk again next time," Xia Qingqing said, and then ended the video call.
Zhou Wei said "Please come in," and the next second a handsome man with outstanding looks appeared in her ward carrying a fruit basket.
Zhou Wei squinted and looked the other person up and down. She felt that the other person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
"May I ask who you are?"
Feng Yu awkwardly touched the tip of his nose: "Um, I'm the one who accidentally bumped into you yesterday."
"Oh, it's you. I haven't thanked you for bringing me to the hospital in time," Zhou Wei smiled at him. Yesterday, the incident happened so suddenly that she was in so much pain that she didn't pay attention to the other person's appearance and didn't recognize him at first.
Feng Yu thought that even if he didn't get scolded, he wouldn't get a good look from this girl, but he was surprised that she actually smiled at him.
"I'm so sorry, I was driving too fast yesterday. Don't worry, Ms. Zhou, I will cover all your hospital expenses, including lost wages and nutritional expenses during your recovery period," Feng Yu sincerely admitted his mistake and apologized to Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei didn't refuse. She had indeed suffered, and judging from the other party's clothes, they didn't seem to be short of money. Since the other party had offered to compensate her, she didn't need to be ungrateful.
The nicer Zhou Wei's attitude, the more uneasy Feng Yu felt, especially since Zhou Wei was a young girl with an injury on her face, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Ms. Zhou, let's exchange contact information first, and then we can communicate online later."
“Okay,” Zhou Wei said, taking her phone out from under her pillow. The two added each other as friends.
When making the note, Zhou Wei paused for a moment: "Sir, may I ask your name?"
A hint of annoyance flashed across Feng Yu's face: "Look at my terrible memory, I haven't even had a chance to introduce myself yet. My name is Feng Yu."
"Senior Feng Yu?" Zhou Wei looked surprised. She wondered why he looked so familiar. It turned out he was a prominent figure from their school's previous years.
