The cake shop is filled with sweet aroma. Inside, four staff members are busy preparing delicious cakes for customers. Seven or eight customers are choosing their favorite desserts. There are elderly people holding their children, young couples, lively children and young mothers, and students in school uniforms. The shop is full of laughter.
Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the piercing roar of an engine. A small car, like a wild beast out of control, hurtled towards the cake shop. It seemed to have lost its mind, moving so fast that no one could react.
The driver's face was full of fear and despair. He desperately turned the steering wheel, trying to control the vehicle, but it was too late.
The car first slammed into the cake shop's doors and windows, the powerful impact instantly twisting and deforming them. The sturdy door frame was as vulnerable as a brittle branch, with a terrifying cracking sound. Then, the window glass shattered instantly under the massive impact, sending countless shards of glass flying into the shop like sharp hidden weapons.
The store was in chaos. A clerk standing at the counter was scratched on the arm by a flying glass shard, blood instantly staining her sleeve red, but she ignored the pain and instinctively dodged to the side.
Another clerk was hit on the foot by a fallen shelf. She collapsed on the ground in pain, her face pale.
A shop assistant standing in the corner felt like she had survived a disaster. She was not injured, but she covered her chest and felt her legs go weak.
The customers were terrified. In the chaos, an old man was knocked to the ground. He groaned in pain and tried to get up but was unable to do anything.
A child was knocked to the ground and burst into tears. A clerk reacted quickly and picked her up with a look of panic on his face.
A child was frightened and cried loudly, hugging his mother tightly. The mother used her body to protect the child, her eyes full of fear and helplessness. Her legs and back were scratched by the glass.
The young couple was also frightened by this sudden change and was stunned. Then they reacted and ran to a safe place.
When the car crashed into the cake shop, Liu Jingze, Su Tiantian and others did not react at first. Only after hearing the loud noise did they suddenly turn their heads to look opposite.
What caused this accident? Perhaps the driver was distracted by a phone call while driving, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. Or perhaps the driver was speeding in a hurry and was unable to brake in time when faced with an emergency. Or perhaps there was a malfunction in the vehicle that the driver failed to detect in advance.
Su Tiantian's face instantly lost its color. She covered her bulging belly tightly with her hands. Her eyes were wide open with fear. This cake shop was where they were going. If she hadn't suddenly wanted to eat sesame cakes, they would probably be in the cake shop right now.
Liu Jingze frowned. He also thought of this. If Su Tiantian hadn't wanted to eat sesame cakes, they would have gone to the cake shop to get cakes and might have encountered this accident.
He said seriously, "Ayu, please keep an eye on my cousin's wife. Axuan and I will go over and take a look. Someone might be injured."
Ren Zhengyu covered his mouth at the moment. If he didn't, he was afraid that he would scream out in fright. After hearing Liu Jingze's words, he quickly nodded and said, "I understand." Then he reached out and took Su Tiantian's arm and said, "Cousin, don't be afraid."
Su Tiantian was very touched. It was not that Liu Jingze did not love her, but in the face of this sudden accident, he showed human kindness and courage. He first asked Ren Zhengyu to take care of her before going to help. Ren Zhengyu was actually a little scared, but still comforted her.
Passersby and people in nearby shops were also stunned by the scene. After a brief silence, they began to take action. Some took out their phones to call emergency numbers, while others followed Liu Jingze and Ren Zhengxuan and rushed to the cake shop to help.
The accident scene was a mess, and the cake shop was filled with dust and fear. The driver was trapped in the car, with a head injury and blood flowing down his forehead. His eyes were confused and he kept muttering, "The brakes are not working, the brakes are not working..."
Liu Jingze, Ren Zhengxuan and enthusiastic staff quickly launched a rescue operation. They carefully helped the injured store clerks and customers up, and comforted the frightened children and the elderly. People from the nearby shop took out a first aid kit to bandage the wounds of the injured store clerk. Liu Jingze and two other passers-by worked together to lift the collapsed shelves and rescue the people trapped underneath.
The owner of the pancake stall asked, "Do you want more of the pancakes you just ordered?"
Su Tiantian regained her composure and said, "Yes."
Ren Zhengyu said, "Looks like I need to eat a sesame seed bun to calm my nerves."
Soon after, the sirens of ambulances and police cars blared from far away. Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the injured were sent to the hospital in time.
Su Tiantian sat down in the car and looked at the pancake in her hand without any appetite.
Ren Zhengyu, who said he wanted to eat a sesame cake to calm his nerves, stopped driving. He sat obediently in the passenger seat, took a big bite of the sesame cake, his cheeks puffed up, and let Ren Zhengxuan drive.
Su Tiantian asked: "So there is no birthday cake today?"
Liu Jingze said, "The clerk said they can refund me, but not until tomorrow. The farm has a long-term cooperative cake shop. I just called and asked someone to send one to the farm, but it will take a while to arrive."
Liu Jingze put one arm around Su Tiantian's waist and the other gently pressed on her belly. The babies seemed to know that their father was thinking about them, and they were stretching their hands and feet playfully. Liu Jingze was really moved at this time: "My two babies, it's a good thing that your mother suddenly wanted to eat sesame cakes. Fortunately, I didn't tell her that it was unhealthy and forbid her to eat it."
Su Tiantian passed the pancake to Liu Jingze's mouth: "The problem is that I don't want to eat it now, you eat it."
Liu Jingze didn't take it, but opened his mouth and took a bite. At this time, his phone rang.
He let go of his arm around Su Tiantian's waist, took out his phone, took a look at it, and handed it to Su Tiantian. He was eating something and it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone.
Su Tiantian simply stuffed the pancake into Liu Jingze's hand and answered the phone: "Godfather, good evening."
Liu Zhaosheng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Tiantian, Jingze's phone is in your hand, where is he?"
Su Tiantian looked at Liu Jingze beside her and said, "He's eating next to me, wait a moment."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "No need. I just want to ask why you haven't come back for so long. Your parents are already here."
Su Tiantian said: "On the way back, it will probably take more than 10 minutes to arrive."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Okay, don't worry, your brother hasn't arrived yet."
When they arrived at the farm, Ren Zhengxuan said, "Cousin, A-Yu, do you still need to eat? Each of you ate a sesame cake."
Ren Zhengyu said, "Eat, Brother Xuan, I'm scared. Carry me inside."
Ren Zhengxuan said: "Why don't you ask your cousin to carry you?" He didn't even refute Ren Zhengyu. Why did he need to be carried when he was that old?
Ren Zhengyu said innocently, "My cousin wants to hug his wife, she's also scared."
Su Tiantian didn't want to be carried in by Liu Jingze...
