The real feeling brought by the hug and the whispers in his ears finally made Lu Zixiao's heart settle down.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, be good, don't be afraid..."
Lin Ze kept patting his back gently with his hands, and his tone was as if he was coaxing a child, gentle and patient.
As his mind gradually returned, Lu Zixiao realized that there seemed to be many people surrounding him, but he was still holding on to the person in front of him tightly...
Lin Ze was glaring at the driver of the car that caused the accident while whispering to comfort his lover. He was so focused that he suddenly staggered and took two steps back before he could stand firm.
His lover, who had pushed him away, had already run to the side with a red face.
Lin Ze smiled silently. He was not surprised at Lu Zixiao's reaction. On the contrary, when he thought of the man rushing towards him and hugging him with a look of panic on his face, his heart was already filled with love.
He decided to finish the matter quickly, so he put away his smile and turned to the driver of the car that caused the accident and said, "Dude, next time before you change lanes, can you please step on the brakes and slow down a little? I'm delaying your takeoff."
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, young man," the driver of the car apologized repeatedly, "My wife had an urgent matter, and I was driving too fast. I didn't control my speed and accidentally hit you. I'm so sorry."
Lin Ze sighed, his tone helpless: "Okay, I accept the apology. I understand that you are worried about your wife, and I don't want to waste any more of your time, but you crashed my electric bike, don't you have to compensate me?"
"Compensation, I will pay," the owner of the car that caused the accident said, "Young man, you name a price and I will pay you directly."
The two of them looked around the electric bike. After negotiation, the owner of the electric bike paid Lin Ze 10,000 yuan as compensation. The matter was finally settled, and the crowd of onlookers finally dispersed.
Lu Zixiao walked over without saying a word and threw a pack of wet wipes to Lin Ze, motioning him to wipe his hands and face. Then Xiaobao and Lu Yuxuan ran over quickly, and together they helped Lin Ze move the electric bike to the corner of the wall where it would not block the road.
"Brother Ze, what happened?" Xiao Bao asked, "My fifth brother said we were all scared when you had the car accident."
"Car accident?" Lin Ze looked at Lu Yuxuan. "Was the situation so dire when you saw me?"
"That's not the case..." Lu Yuxuan muttered softly, "I just saw your car flip over, but you were still standing."
"You come back and lie about military intelligence without understanding anything?" Lu Zixiao's face darkened. "Lu Yuxuan, is your butt itchy again?"
"I didn't!" Lu Yuxuan was almost in tears. "I told him afterwards that Brother Ze was fine. Xiaobao and the others heard it. If you don't believe me, just ask!"
Lu Zixiao looked at Xiaobao suspiciously, and the latter nodded.
"...Then why didn't I hear it?" Lu Zixiao asked in a bad tone.
"This is really not my fault, big brother!" Lu Yuxuan felt that he was more wronged than Dou E at this moment. "You ran away in a flash after listening to the first half. It was as fast as running on a hot wheel. Fourth brother ran away in his slippers and couldn't catch up with you."
Lu Zixiao: “…………”
Lin Ze really couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. When Lu Zixiao glared at him fiercely, he quietly pinched his hand behind his back.
"This might be considered a minor car accident. It happened quite suddenly," Lin Ze explained. "I was riding my bike normally, and the private car just now was driving too fast and rushed straight towards me."
"I guess he was really worried about his wife, otherwise he shouldn't have driven into the non-motorized vehicle lane. Not only did he rear-end my electric bike, but when it flipped over, he fell into the grass next to me and got covered in mud before he could get up."
Lu Zixiao heard the complaints and frustration in his voice, and finally softened his tone and asked softly, "Are you hurt?"
"No, my clothes and pants are all dirty," Lin Ze said. "Should I be thankful that there's been so much rain recently that I didn't fall on the hard mud?"
Lu Zixiao snorted and walked away: "Hurry up and change your clothes in the house, then don't stand outside so dirty."
"Okay," Lin Ze responded and followed, followed closely by Xiaobao and Lu Yuxuan.
However, when they walked back along the path in the alley, perhaps because there were too many people watching the excitement, or perhaps because the noise made by Lu Zixiao's running was too loud, most of the neighbors who knew Lu Zixiao and others now stuck their heads out and started asking questions.
"No wonder I saw Zixiao running so fast just now. It turns out that Lin Ze's electric bike was hit. But it's good that no one is hurt. How is it? How much did the owner of the car pay for the compensation?"
"Why do you care how much money they have to pay? If I were to ask you, it's because Zi Xiao and Lin Ze have such a deep brotherly bond. They've been friends for so many years, and when something happens, Zi Xiao is the one who really steps up to help."
"That's right. Over the years, I rarely see Zixiao lose his composure. I remember the last time was when we had news about Xiaobao."
"That's really great! The bond between brothers is beyond words..."
"Ahaha..." Lin Ze quickly tried to smooth things over. "It was an accident. It was nothing. I know Zixiao is worried about me, so I won't bother reminding you. Everyone, please put away your magical powers..."
Isn't this fucking useless?!
How thin-skinned Lu Zixiao is, how could Lin Ze not know it?
Not only did he cause a misunderstanding and lose his composure this time, but so many neighbors saw him. Lin Ze could tell with his toes how upset Lu Zixiao was right now.
Sure enough, when they finally left the sight of those people and arrived at the door of their home, Lu Zixiao's face turned black, and his whole body exuded an aura of anger and shame.
