Chapter 509: Is running now considered a hit-and-run?
Late at night, a rainstorm suddenly hit, catching the unprepared passers-by off guard. In a panic, they all ran to nearby places where they could hide from the rain and take shelter temporarily.
Shuwen also put her bag on her head and looked around. The nearest place to hide from the rain was a bus stop. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Shuwen didn't care about anything else. She put her bag on her head, hunched her neck, and ran towards the bus stop.
But after running just two steps, a speeding car passed by Shuwen, splashing rainwater on the ground and flying all over her! Shuwen was so angry that she wanted to spit foul language, but the car was going so fast that by the time Shuwen could react, it had already sped away. Shuwen could only think that she was unlucky and continued to run to the bus stop.
However, as the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. When passing by a sewer entrance, the heel of Shuwen's high heels got stuck in the fence of the sewer entrance. Shuwen's upper body was still running forward, but her feet could not be pulled out. So, with a "thump", Shuwen fell out! Her elbow hit the ground heavily, and the small bag in her hand also fell out. Shuwen lay on the ground in a daze for three seconds before she felt the pain coming from her elbow and chin.
The rain fell mercilessly from the sky, and the accumulated water on the ground soaked Shuwen's clothes. The pain that was three seconds late made Shuwen lie on the ground for a long time without being able to recover.
But in the silent night, there was no trace of warmth on the road except for the lights of the bus stop not far away.
Shuwen lay on the ground in despair, thinking of just waiting for the rain to stop. She was already soaked all over, and it didn't make any difference whether she hid from the rain or not.
However, a series of "thump thump" footsteps gradually approached, accompanied by a concerned voice: "Hey, are you okay? Were you hit by a car? Or did you break a bone? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you? But first, you have to reimburse me for the ambulance fee!"
Shuwen: ...MDZZ!
If she was the only one on the street, maybe Shuwen would really lie on the ground and wait for the rain to stop. But once there were other people nearby, a stubbornness naturally rose up in Shuwen's heart, and she was unwilling to show her most embarrassing side to others.
So, Shuwen endured the pain coming from her body and slowly crawled up from the ground.
The young man who ran over saw that Shuwen was unable to move and wanted to lend a hand, but he didn't know what he thought of, and finally didn't lend a hand. Instead, he looked around and saw the woman's bag that had fallen out, as well as the lipsticks and mirrors scattered on the ground. Anyway, they were all women's items, so it was not easy for him to help pick them up.
Finally, he saw the high-heeled shoes stuck in the sewer behind Shuwen, which could be of help, so he ran over happily, grabbed the shoes with both hands and pulled them out.
Unexpectedly, she used too much force. When she pulled out the high-heeled shoe, it flew out of her hand and hit him hard on the forehead. He lost his balance in pain and fell backwards! Shuwen had just stood up when she heard a "clang". The back of the man's head came into close contact with the trash can, making a loud noise! Shuwen : ...If I run now, will it be considered a hit-and-run? The man was hit on the forehead by the high-heeled shoe and the back of his head was hit by the trash can. He was stunned and sat on the ground and began to think about life.
Who am I? Where am I?
Why should I do something heroic? Wouldn't it be better for me to stay away from him? Perhaps it was because the man's dejected aura was too strong, Shuwen moved over slowly - mainly because her whole body was in pain, so she asked, "Are you okay? Did you break a bone? Or a concussion? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you? But first, you have to reimburse me for the ambulance fee!"
Man: ...Can I take back what I just said?
"Don't talk to me, let me calm down."
"oh."
Shuwen grinned and slowly sat down next to the man. In the heavy rain and under the dim lights not far away, the two of them were thinking about their lives in a daze.
After about ten seconds, the man wiped his face and said, "The rain is too heavy, shall we hide for a while?"
Shuwen nodded, supported herself on her knees and stood up again. The man also supported himself on his coccyx and slowly stood up. Both of them saw that the other did not seem to need their support, so they just ignored it and limped towards the bus stop.
There were simple benches prepared for people waiting for the bus under the bus stop sign. Shuwen and the man each occupied one side, which provided them with a temporary shelter from the rain.
"Don't you need to pick up your bag?"
"The bag is 35 yuan, the lipstick is 30 yuan, and the other miscellaneous items only add up to about 100 yuan. If I catch a cold and go to the hospital, I will have to spend hundreds of dollars and may not be cured, so for the sake of my wallet, I'd better leave it there and wait until the rain stops. Of course, the most important reason is that the bag and lipstick will not be damaged by the rain!"
Shuwen took out the mobile phone from her pocket. Fortunately, it was just slightly soaked in water and was not broken. It could still be used.
The man bared his teeth: "Oh my god, you are worse off than me!"
Shuwen glanced at the man unhappily: "How can someone who can't even afford an ambulance feel so superior?"
Well, the man was discouraged because Shuwen was right. He saw Shuwen lying on the ground alone. He wanted to help but couldn't afford the medical expenses, so he made the speech at the beginning. But he didn't expect that Shuwen saw through his embarrassment at a glance, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, Shuwen added: "Well, I can't afford it either. We are both equally rich, so don't laugh at each other."
The man was relieved: "You are a woman, why are you running around in the street in the middle of the night instead of going home?"
Shuwen: "Is it not possible for me to work during the day and go to night school at night?"
The man was puzzled: "Doesn't night school end at 9:30? No later than 10 o'clock, right?"
Shuwen's eyes widened: "You know a lot! Then why are you wandering around the streets in the middle of the night instead of going home?"
The man curled his lips and said, "I also work during the day and do part-time jobs at night, running errands for people or something."
Shuwen nodded: "Oh, then you earn more than me."
The man was not convinced: "You still have night school to attend, you are doing better than me!"
Shuwen readily agreed: "That's true!"
Man: "... Forget it, I won't waste my time talking to you. I still have to run errands for someone. You should go home now that the rain has subsided! It's not safe in the middle of the night!"
Shuwen pointed to the trash can and said, "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Need not!"
The man said, then ran into the rain and picked up Shuwen's high heels for her. As for her bag, she didn't care about it, so he didn't care either: "Go home quickly when the rain stops! Remember to take medicine when you get home, otherwise you will catch a cold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's cell phone rang. The ringtone was so loud that Shuwen could hear it clearly over the sound of the rain.
"Forgive me for being uninhibited and loving freedom in my life. I am also afraid that one day I will fall.
Anyone can abandon their ideals. Why should I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me——"
The man picked up the phone: "Hello, I'll be there soon! Very soon, five minutes, no! Three minutes! Please don't give me a bad review, really, I'll be there soon!"
The man hung up the phone and without bothering to say anything to Shuwen, he ran to the other side in the rain. There was a shared bicycle parked there. He had just ridden it here and it had not been locked yet, so he could ride it away directly.
Shuwen watched the man riding his bike slowly go away. Seeing that the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, she simply took out her cell phone and searched for the lyrics she had just heard.
Well, it’s a new song, give it a listen, it’s free.
Amid the lonely piano accompaniment, a deep but clear voice came: "Today I watched the snow drifting in the cold night.
With a cooled heart, I drift far away——"
Shuwen listened to the song while opening the memo on her phone and looking at the content she had typed out word by word:
Shuwen has three goals: First: to become an excellent illustrator.
Second: Publish a picture book of your own.
Third: Always love painting.
Then, Shuwen, who was so late, finally remembered: Oh, did I forget to say thank you to him just now? Well, forget it, I can't catch up now, I'll make it up next time I meet him.
