As He Xiao tackled her, a scene flashed through Shen Linyue's mind.
He Xiao attended a class reunion and was reminded of the time in high school when he was accidentally hit on the head by a falling headlight. He even had to take a month off before returning to class.
After that incident, He Xiao completely changed. He began to study seriously and, after a final six months of intensive preparation, was admitted to a good university.
The male protagonist also took the opportunity to mock He Xiao for his changes, which angered He Xiao and led to a conflict with the male protagonist, resulting in both of them ending up in the police station.
"Ah Xiao..." Seeing the headlights about to smash towards them, Shen Linyue somehow found the strength to turn around and roll to the side, protecting He Xiao's head.
The accident happened in an instant; the headlight hit the ground and made a loud "bang."
The shards of glass grazed her cheek, causing sharp pain, but Shen Linyue, focused on her work, paid no heed to her discomfort.
He grabbed He Xiao's head and examined him thoroughly.
"Ah Xiao, are you hurt?"
At that moment, screams erupted all around, but Shen Linyue couldn't hear anything; all she could see was He Xiao's physical condition.
He Xiao was still in a daze, completely unexpected that Lin Yue would risk her life to protect him when the dangerous scene just happened.
He rushed up to protect her.
"Lin Yue, how could you be so foolish?" His eyes were slightly red, filled with anger and fear.
Lin Yue's head was just a hair's breadth away from exploding.
Shen Linyue pursed her lips, her hands holding He Xiao's head trembling slightly; her reaction just now was purely instinctive, prioritizing protecting He Xiao.
Fortunately, Ah Xiao was not harmed at all, and they all escaped unscathed.
"I……"
Before she finished speaking, Su Xiao and the other students and teachers gathered around to show their concern.
"Yueyue, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? That was terrifying, you were almost hit by the falling object." Su Xiao anxiously checked her over.
Fortunately, she was dressed warmly in late autumn, so Shen Linyue had no injuries.
She shook her head, feeling a sense of exhaustion, as if she had just survived a disaster. After a moment of relaxation, her head felt dizzy and heavy.
"I'm fine..." After saying this, Shen Linyue's vision went black and she lost consciousness.
"Lin Yue!"
"Yueyue!"
Before Shen Linyue lost consciousness, she seemed to hear He Xiao's anxious shouts. She tried to respond, but he couldn't because he was alright. Her consciousness completely returned to chaos.
...
Shen Linyue had another dream.
In her dream, a voice told her that changing the plot was useless; the events in the novel would unfold anyway, even ahead of schedule, and she couldn't stop them all. Ultimately, everything would lead to the predetermined ending.
Shen Linyue was so angry that she cursed loudly in her dream, and while she was cursing, she woke herself up.
"Get out!" She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling, and the smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils.
"Lin Yue, you're finally awake!"
The two spoke almost simultaneously, and the surprise in He Xiao's eyes dimmed: "You don't want to see me? Then I'll leave."
Shen Linyue remained silent, raising her hand to grab He Xiao's clothes only to find her hand wrapped up in a ball.
Shen Linyue: ?
Is she that badly injured?
"Ah Xiao, how did I end up in the hospital?" she asked, her voice low and hoarse.
He Xiao was just saying it casually and didn't actually go out. He glanced at her after hearing this and was speechless for a moment.
"What do you think? You insisted on being stubborn and ended up fainting from low blood sugar. Do you know how anxious I was at the time..."
He Xiao couldn't bring himself to say it; he wasn't suited to saying mushy things.
But when she first fainted in his arms, he felt like the sky was falling.
My first thought was to have Lao He avenge Lin Yue! Arrest all those who litter with lanterns and put them in jail!
Shen Linyue was speechless: "I only have low blood sugar?"
He Xiao: ...
"Otherwise what? Do you want to be injured much more seriously?" He smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all.
Shen Linyue smiled, but then noticed a throbbing pain on her face, and her expression changed drastically.
"He Xiao! I'm not disfigured, am I?" Only after belatedly recalling the events before she lost consciousness did Shen Linyue realize how dangerous the events before she fainted had been.
But if she could do it all over again, she would still save He Xiao without hesitation.
The original text portrays this change in him as a good thing, but for Shen Linyue, getting He Xiao hurt is never a good thing.
He Xiao can study diligently, but not because he feels guilty towards the living after certain memories have been awakened.
"It's ruined." He Xiao nodded coldly, glancing at the bloodstains on her face, and said, "It was almost ruined."
Shen Linyue's heart, which had just been in her throat, relaxed heavily. Her eyes were filled with resentment: "Do you know how much you hurt me by pausing for two seconds? You unfilial son."
Their eyes met, and a few seconds later they both burst out laughing.
As he laughed, He Xiao's eyes reddened slightly as he uttered a harsh threat: "Lin Yue, if you dare to risk your life again, I will absolutely not let you off!"
Shen Linyue's long eyelashes trembled, and her eyes held a hint of amusement: "Yes, no."
There will be no next time. From now on, she will be more vigilant every time to prevent today's incident from happening again.
She is now certain of one thing: the timeline of He Xiao's storyline has been messed up, and the events that should have happened next year have occurred ahead of schedule.
She didn't know what the voice in her dream meant, but it served as a wake-up call for her.
As for what the person in her dream said, she treated it as nonsense. He Xiao would be fine, and there was absolutely no connection between him and Su Xiao.
He couldn't possibly die for a woman this time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixing's face reappeared in Shen Linyue's mind. The male lead was also a dangerous presence. She needed to figure out the grudges between the two as soon as possible. The two might be having a minor squabble now, but who knows, it might develop into a life-or-death battle in the future.
Clearly, the unknown dangers posed by the Jiang family are greater than those posed by the female protagonist.
"When are we going to be discharged?" After making her decision, Shen Linyue looked at He Xiao again and asked.
He Xiao was already peeling an apple for her, glancing at her and saying, "Don't even think about being discharged. You have a full-body checkup tomorrow morning."
Shen Linyue: ...Does low blood sugar really require a full-body checkup?
...
Far away in Y City, He Liyu, who was resting with his eyes closed after getting into the car, was woken up by his assistant in the front row.
"Boss, Uncle Xiao called to say that Miss Lin Yue seems to have had an accident."
He Liyu suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of dazedness still lingering in them from just waking up.
"What did you just say?" he asked in a deep voice, frowning.
Ah Yue just finished talking to him on the phone, how could something have happened?
"Boss, it's true, Miss Lin Yue has already gone to the hospital."
"..." He Liyu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down. "Go to the airport and find out what happened to Uncle Xiao."
"As for that couple, you stay and keep a close eye on them," he said, then coughed violently again.
After a moment of silence, the assistant concisely and clearly recounted everything the butler had said before saying, "I understand, boss. It's too late to apply for a private flight now, so I've selected a ticket for you for 7 p.m.
"Hmm." He Liyu looked out the window, his eyes unreadable.
