The woman hurriedly opened the car door and got out, and without saying a word, she helped the girl lift the electric scooter off her.
Without the electric scooter to block the view, the girl's leg injury was easily visible.
Especially on the outside of her knee, although it was covered by stockings, bright red bloodstains were clearly visible, indicating that the skin had been broken, and the exposed skin above it was also bright red.
It is swelling rapidly at a visible rate, and it looks like it's congested with blood.
Because her skin was already quite fair and delicate, she looked rather pitiful.
The middle-aged woman was startled. "Oh dear, it's that serious! I'm so sorry, let me take you to the hospital."
There were already many people on the road, and many stopped in their tracks when they saw this scene.
"Young lady, are you alright?"
"Oh, there's bleeding."
"Let's go to the hospital if this doesn't work."
"How do you drive?!"
"Exactly! Didn't you see this is a pedestrian crossing? You know that's a traffic violation! I'm calling the traffic police right now!"
Various people were chattering amongst themselves.
Looking at the girl on the ground, her face pale with pain, the woman said with a guilty expression, "I didn't mean to scare you. I was just in a hurry to buy groceries and get the child to school. If I had been any later, it would have been too late... I'm so sorry."
The girl straightened up, hugged her slightly curled-up leg, and checked the wound. It was indeed a scraped skin.
The pain had made her face pale, and her forehead and the sides of her nose were covered with a fine layer of sweat, making her look pitiful.
She shook her head, enduring the pain, "It's nothing, just a little scratch."
"You're bleeding and you're still saying you're okay? You should call home right away."
"That's right, you can't walk anymore. Let her take you to the hospital, so you don't break your bones."
The elderly men and women were trying to persuade them.
The middle-aged woman looked at the girl sitting on the cement steps with concern. "Yes, yes, let's go to the hospital first."
The girl shook her head, her watery eyes filled with seriousness. "It's really nothing. It was just that I was too slow. I don't know how to ride a bike. You go buy the groceries."
The other person just honked the horn once and didn't bump into me. As for falling down, that's a consequence of my lack of driving skills.
Besides, this woman has already been talked about for a long time. She has nothing to do with the woman, but she feels like she's the one who staged the accident. How can she ask the woman to take her to the hospital?
"Well, why don't you call your family first? This electric scooter is damaged, you definitely can't ride it home by yourself." The middle-aged woman was still a little worried.
When the girl thought of her family, she immediately thought of Xiao Ran.
He didn't allow her to ride a bike in the first place, but she insisted on doing it because she thought she could. Now that she's fallen, she's too embarrassed to confront him.
If he finds out that I smashed his electric scooter, he'll probably say I have ADHD again.
The girl sniffed, her voice muffled.
"I'm fine, you go first. I'll rest for a bit and I can go back by myself."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman glanced at her watch and said, "Alright then, I'll be going now."
......
Ever since Xiao Ran found out that Yan Xici rode her electric bike to school, he has been feeling uneasy.
Anyway, Liu Min and I have already figured out the general idea, so I'll go back and try writing it down myself.
He glanced at Liu Min across from him and said, "Excuse me, Sister Liu, I have some things to take care of at home. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Min quickly said, "Then I'll take you there."
Xiao Ran came all this way and not only gave me satisfactory results for all the things I wanted to change, but he even explained the thought process. I was planning to have dinner together in the afternoon, but I didn't expect him to leave now.
I would feel really bad if I didn't see them off.
"No need, Sister Liu, I'll just take a taxi."
"It's alright, it's alright. Let me give you a ride. We can chat about the plot on the way."
Since things had come to this point, Xiao Ran felt embarrassed to refuse. "Then you can just drop me off at the entrance of Jiaotong University."
The two left the coffee shop and got into Liu Min's car, heading towards Xiao Ran's house.
Liu Min talked a lot along the way, mostly about herself, and Xiao Ran listened attentively.
She didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.
Fifteen minutes later, the car passed the vegetable market in front of the school. Xiao Ran glanced at the crowded market entrance, wondering whether Yan Xici had gone to buy groceries or gone home.
The car continued driving forward, but was blocked after less than ten meters.
There's no way around it; the roads around the market are always difficult to navigate because there are just too many people.
Liu Min had no choice but to stop, her eyes darting around to see what was happening ahead.
As he looked over, he spotted a group of people gathered on the roadside not far ahead and remarked casually, "It looks like something's happened over there."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran, who was already feeling uneasy, subconsciously followed her gaze.
Unexpectedly, at a glance, he saw the girl in the sailor uniform sitting on the ground with a pained expression. Although her lower legs were hidden by the greenery, he could not see them, but from the painful expression on her face, Xiao Ran could tell that she must have fallen!
He frowned. What did he say again?
He's so stubborn!
"Sister Liu, I'm sorry, I have to get off here."
After saying that, he prepared to open the car door and get out.
Liu Min hurriedly called out to him, "We're not there yet, why are you getting off here?"
"That person is my sister!"
? ? ?
Liu Min was taken aback. What a coincidence! She never expected that she would run into his sister just by taking him home.
Thinking about it, she hurriedly opened the car door and followed her out.
At this moment, the girl supported herself with her hands on the ground and her body was slightly bent. She was about to stand up when, unexpectedly, as soon as she straightened her legs, she gasped in pain.
He involuntarily swayed, and the older woman next to him, seeing the situation was not good, quickly helped him up.
"You're such a stubborn child, it hurts me to see you like this. You should call your family right away."
"Yes, one person can't walk back like that."
Xiao Ran walked through the crowd in two steps and took the person from the old woman's hands while talking.
"What happened? How did it get like this?"
Yan Xici was startled and suddenly looked up, only to meet his worried gaze.
"I, I..."
She quickly lowered her head, her face showing guilt and self-reproach.
How did he end up here?
They'll definitely blame themselves for crashing the car; they're so stupid!
"Let me see how serious it is. I told you to wait for me at school, but you wouldn't listen!" Xiao Ran said, then bent down slightly to check her injury, while holding the girl's arm with his other hand.
