Someone had thrown a round wooden stick at his feet, but because the light was dim, he didn't notice it at all.

Yan Ye accidentally stepped on something and immediately slipped.

It didn't matter that he slipped, the thing that caused him to slip was actually a piece of iron sheet sticking out diagonally from the construction site next to him!

According to the trajectory of his fall, his head would hit the iron sheet in the next second.

The iron sheet wasn't particularly sharp, but it could easily scratch a person's skin, especially an important part like the head. If the injury was more serious, he might even die!

Yan Ye never thought that he would encounter such an accident.

In the second before he lost consciousness after his head was scratched by the iron sheet, only two thoughts quickly emerged in his mind.

One is that he regretted not having contacted his parents more often in the past two days and not being able to fulfill his duty to take care of their elderly parents.

The second is that he regretted that he did not express his feelings to Xia Li before he died and tell her what a lovely and beautiful girl she was in his heart.

Just when Yan Ye thought he was going to die, he slowly opened his eyes.

He thought he would appear in the hospital ward. Maybe Xia Li called an ambulance to send him to the hospital, and he was lucky enough to be rescued.

But what surprised Yan Ye was that when he opened his eyes, he found that there was still a dark sky and dim street lights above his head.

And he was lying on the road next to the construction site where he had just fallen!

He subconsciously touched his head. Before he passed out, he clearly felt a sharp pain there, as if his head was scratched by iron sheet.

Yet, at this moment, it was completely intact?!

For a moment, Yan Ye even suspected that he was hallucinating. He didn't slip and fall at all.

But just as he was thinking this, he saw the wooden stick beside him and Xia Li who had fainted beside him.

Seeing Xia Li fainted beside him, Yan Ye suddenly ignored everything and immediately ran over to check the situation.

But just when he was about to wake up Xia Li, he found something wrong.

Because Xia Li at this moment seemed a few years older than the Xia Li he remembered.

There were some silver streaks in her black hair, and wrinkles appeared on her smooth and delicate cheeks. She used to look like she was in her early twenties, but now she looked like she was already in her forties or fifties.

If she hadn't been wearing the same clothes as before and her appearance hadn't revealed she was from Xia Li, Yan Ye would have almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.

But how could this happen? He just fainted for a while, why did Xia Li suddenly change so much?

Just when he was filled with shock, Xia Li slowly woke up.

After seeing Yan Ye, Xia Li immediately showed a relieved expression and said happily.

"It's too late, you're fine!"

She was just feeling relieved when she suddenly saw the wrinkled skin on her hands.

She didn't scream, nor did she show any surprise, as if she had expected this to happen. She slowly hid her hands behind her back, then lowered her head and brushed her hair against her cheeks, trying to cover her face, her tone sounding lost.

"I'm sorry, Yan Ye, I have to go back."

Xia Li's reaction made Yan Ye realize that something was wrong.

He recalled what Xia Li had just said, "You're fine," and the abnormality that appeared on her body at the moment, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.

"Xia Li, you saved me just now, right?!"
