Chapter 154 Classmate Relationship

After Zhao Rong met up with Zhao Ping outside the movie theater, she kept chuckling to herself. Zhao Ping asked her curiously, "What's wrong, Rong? Is something making you happy?"

Zhao Rong chuckled and said, "Sis, guess who I ran into?"

"Who? How would I know who you met?"

"Wu Xiaojun!"

"Is this the boy you always told me about, the one whose pants you pulled down?"

Zhao Rong nodded vigorously and said, "And he's not only handsome, but he's also a police officer!"

Zhao Ping laughed and scolded him, "You little flirt, don't act like this every time you see a man, or people will laugh at you."

Zhao Rong rolled her eyes at her sister and said, "I'm not a lovesick fool! I'm just lively. Unlike you, you're twenty-five and still not married. What are you doing, keeping yourself so virgin? Admiring yourself like a solitary flower!"

"You, you little brat, are you looking for a beating?"

Zhao Rong first ran two steps, then turned around and made faces at Zhao Ping.

Just as Zhao Rong was making a face, because she was walking backwards and didn't look behind her, a bicycle happened to be coming towards her from behind.

The bicycle was ridden by an old lady, and it probably didn't have brakes. She didn't even have time to brake before the front wheel hit Zhao Rong's back.

Zhao Rong was already unsteady on her feet, and when she was hit again, she naturally fell flat on her back, and the bicycle immediately tilted to the ground.

Perhaps it was Zhao Rong's fate to suffer this ordeal. As soon as the bicycle tipped over, she fell onto the handlebars, wincing in pain and unable to stop herself from grimacing.

The elderly man riding the bicycle also had his ankle crushed by the bicycle frame, and was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.

Zhao Ping quickly went to help Zhao Rong up and said, "Rongrong, Rongrong, how are you?"

Zhao Rong quickly touched her lower back and said, "Sister, my back, my back!"

While supporting Zhao Rong, Zhao Ping shouted to the passersby, "Save my sister! Please save my sister! Save my sister!"

As luck would have it, Xiang Pengfei and Song Ying arrived just then. Xiang Pengfei parked his car on the side of the road and ran across the street, asking, "What's wrong, Zhao Ping? What happened?"

Upon seeing Xiang Pengfei, Zhao Ping hurriedly said, "Pengfei, please help me! My sister was hit by a bicycle and fell right on the handlebars, injuring her back!"

"Ouch! You've hurt your back! We need to get you to the hospital right away!"

So Xiang Pengfei hurried over, picked up Zhao Rong, and ran to his car.

Song Ying went to help the old lady who had hit her ankle and asked, "Auntie, are you alright?"

The old woman said painfully, "I was fine at first, but when this girl pressed down on me, my ankle started to hurt!"

"Then, let's go to the hospital together in the car!"

So Song Ying helped the old lady to the car and let her get into the passenger seat.

But the old lady was worried about her car and said, "What will happen to my bicycle?"

Song Ying quickly said, "It's alright, I'm the owner of the breakfast shop in the alley. You can come and pick it up anytime, it won't get lost!"

After Song Ying finished speaking, she said to Xiang Pengfei in the driver's seat, "Pengfei, you can go now! Be careful on the road!"

Xiang Pengfei said, "Okay, I understand, Auntie!"

Zhao Ping, who was supporting Zhao Rong from behind, said, "Auntie, Auntie, could you please tell my dad that my sister is in the hospital and that we're waiting for him to come over for dinner?"

"Don't worry! I'll go tell your dad right away!"

"Hey, thank you, Auntie!"

Xiang Pengfei said, "Then I'll drive! Zhao Ping, hold Zhao Rong steady!"

"Yes, I know!"

Song Ying watched Xiang Pengfei's car leave, then turned around, went to the other side, picked up her bicycle, and pushed it back to the breakfast shop.

When Song Ying pushed her bicycle back to the breakfast shop, Lin Dongzhe and Feng Yaoyao had almost finished packing up and were in the final stages of preparation.

When Lin Dongzhe saw Song Ying pushing her bicycle back, he found it strange and asked, "Mom, why are you pushing your bicycle back?"

"There was a car accident up ahead, and your brother Pengfei took some people to the hospital!"

"Was it my brother Pengfei who hit it?"

"No, we just happened to run into them. Oh, and I need to tell Zhao Hujiang that his daughter, Zhao Rong, was hit by a bicycle!"

"A bicycle? How badly could it hit you?"

"The impact wasn't too severe; I just fell on my lower back onto the handlebars. You know, the lower back is the most vulnerable part of the body and is very easy to injure, so I was taken to the hospital!"

"Where is the person who hit Zhao Rong?"

"The person who hit her was an elderly woman. Her ankle was crushed by the car frame, and Zhao Rong's injury worsened when she ran over the handlebars. So both of them have to go to the hospital!"

"This car accident wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't small either. Two people were injured. It depends on who's to blame. Whoever is at fault will suffer the consequences and have to pay money!"

"I'm not telling you anymore. I'll go tell Zhao Hujiang instead! Otherwise I'll forget and get blamed!"

"Mom, why didn't you ride your bicycle there?"

"The handlebars are broken and I can't ride it anymore. Besides, if the bike gets into an accident, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if I rode it again?"

"Okay then, Mom, I'll go and tell them the news. You rest for a while!"

Do you know the way?

"Isn't that Zhao Hai's house on Fuqiang Street? It's my junior high school classmate's house; we were classmates in the same grade but different classes!"

"Oh, is that so? Okay, go ahead then! Be careful on the road!"

"Okay, I got it, Mom!"

When Xiang Pengfei arrived at the hospital, he carried Zhao Rong, and Zhao Ping helped the old lady; the four of them went into the hospital.

The two patients were taken to the emergency room before they finally stopped.

Xiang Pengfei stopped and leaned against the windowsill. Looking at the sky outside, he suddenly thought of delivering dinner to his uncle and aunt. So he turned around to tell Zhao Ping, but to his surprise, Zhao Ping was looking at him with affection.

When Xiang Pengfei saw Zhao Ping's fiery eyes, his face instantly turned red, but he still said, "Zhao Ping, I have something to attend to, I'll be going now!"

"Pengfei, can't you stay with me for a while? This is such a big thing, I'm scared. If Rongrong hurts her back, it could be a lifelong problem!"

"It's like this, Zhao Ping, my aunt is still in the hospital, I'm going to buy them some food!"

"After you bring me food, can you come and keep me company? I'm scared here all alone!"

"this,,!"

Xiang Pengfei hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this? I'll get you one too! Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll buy it for you!"

Zhao Ping seemed a little embarrassed and said, "No need! It's already troubled enough that you took us to the hospital!"

"What's the big deal? Don't forget we were classmates, it's only right that we help each other out!"

"Thank you, Pengfei!"

"I'm going to buy some food now, I'll be back in a bit!"

"Um!"

Xiang Pengfei then went outside the hospital and bought three meals. He first went to Huang Ling's room and left one for Huang Ling and one for Zhuang Chaoying.

As soon as Huang Ling saw Xiang Pengfei, she said, "Pengfei, didn't you see Song Ying off? Why are you back again?"

"It's like this, Auntie, we just got to the street where we live when we encountered a car accident. I took the injured people to the hospital!"

"Oh, who is it? Is it serious?"

"It's Zhao Rong, the daughter of Deputy Director Zhao of the cotton mill, and an old lady. Zhao Rong injured her lower back, and the old lady injured her ankle. They were both sent to the emergency room!"

"From what you're saying, is it very serious?"

"It's quite serious, enough to cause them a lot of suffering!"

Seeing that Xiang Pengfei was still holding a meal, Zhuang Chaoying said, "You bought food, why don't you eat with us?"

"Uncle, this is the food I brought for Zhao Ping. She's waiting for news from outside the emergency room!"

"Oh, Zhao Hujiang's eldest daughter, right!"

"Yes, she was my classmate, but we only studied together for a year. My mom made me go back to my hometown, so we stopped studying together!"

"No matter how long it's been, we're still classmates!"

"Yes!"

"Then take it to her! Make sure it doesn't get cold again!"

"Okay, I'm off then, Uncle!"

Go!

Xiang Pengfei carried the bag of food to the door of the emergency room and saw Zhao Ping fiddling with the hem of her clothes with her head down, obviously the emergency room was not yet open.

Xiang Pengfei handed the food to Zhao Ping and said, "Eat the food I brought you! It'll get cold soon!"

Zhao Ping looked at Xiang Pengfei and said, "And what about you?"

"Don't worry about me! Eat!"

Zhao Ping took the meal and was about to open it to eat!

"Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping! Where's Rongrong?"
