In the luxurious VIP ward.
Lu Shiyan changed his clothes, wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking extremely noble.
At that moment, he was intently putting on his wristwatch, his posture elegant, as if he were preparing to attend some important business gala.
"Uncle...uncle?!?!" Lu Jiming hadn't expected to see this. He rubbed his eyes, somewhat bewildered. "Are you alright?"
Was he hallucinating?
Lu Shiyan turned his head and saw Jiang Li.
He paused for a moment before answering Lu Jiming, "It's alright, if you had come any later, I would have been discharged."
Lu Jiming: "..."
"Second sister-in-law, I'm all done here, you can go back now." Lu Shiyan said, his gaze returning to Jiang Li.
He knew that his survival wasn't just luck...
Jiang Li saved him.
When he left the school, he listened to Jiang Li's advice and took a detour.
Not long after, he saw the news notification...
A major accident occurred on the road he was supposed to leave on: a tanker truck exploded, killing everyone on board and injuring many innocent pedestrians.
If he were to return the way he came, based on the timeline, he would most likely die on the spot.
He returned to the company, and his assistant was going to get him the clothes he would wear to the party that evening. He happened to have something to do, so he went out with her.
result……
It was hit by a large truck that ran a red light.
Lu Shiyan's car was deformed from the impact.
In that situation, the assistant driving the car fainted on the spot, but the examination revealed that he only had a mild concussion.
Lu Shiyan only suffered minor cuts from broken glass; if he had come to the hospital a little later, the cuts would have healed.
There were three people on the truck; two died despite attempts to save them.
The last one couldn't be saved either.
The Lu family arrived in such a hurry that they didn't even understand the specific situation before hastily sending a message to Lu Jiming.
It turned out to be a false alarm later.
Even so, Lu Shiyan was still made to undergo a full-body examination to make sure that everything was fine before he was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.
The second wife of the Lu family pulled Lu Jiming out to talk about something, leaving only Lu Shiyan and Jiang Li in the room.
Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Li with a determined expression, "It was the talisman you gave me that saved my life. How can I repay this life-saving grace?"
“The amulet is a compensation and a gift of gratitude to you, so I dare not accept this life-saving grace.” Jiang Li replied quietly, “Since Mr. Lu is alright, I will go back first.”
"Wait!" Lu Shiyan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then, afraid of startling Jiang Li, he said, "It's getting late. Thank you for coming to see me. Let me treat you to dinner."
“Mr. Lu, don’t you have something to do tonight?” Jiang Li politely declined Lu Shiyan’s offer. “Your business is more important. As for dinner, I can eat with anyone. Let Lu treat us.”
Lu Shiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone clearly displeased, "Compared to me, would you rather have dinner with Lu Jiming?"
Jiang Li: "???"
How is she supposed to respond to that?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li spoke frankly: "Mr. Lu, you are an elder, and Lu and I are classmates, so it's more comfortable for us to get along."
Lu Shiyan's face darkened. "Are you saying I'm too old?"
Jiang Li: "..."
enmmm……
How did the topic suddenly jump to this?
Does this have anything to do with age?
Upon seeing this commotion, Lu Jiming, who had been peeping from the doorway, was no longer afraid of exposing his voyeuristic behavior and immediately pushed the door open to smooth things over.
"Auntie...cough...Jiang!" Lu Jiming stood between the two, grinning like a fool, "Although my uncle is a generation older than me, he's not much older than me, he's still young!"
As he spoke, Lu Jiming looked at his uncle and winked frantically at him, "Uncle, really, you treat everyone like your subordinates. Can't you be a little gentler? Look at you, you're so serious that you've scared Jiang."
Jiang Li: "..."
She wasn't scared; she just felt that they weren't familiar with each other, and there was no need to become familiar.
Lu Jiming was her deskmate and knew some things about her. Building a good relationship with him would allow him to cover for her in the future.
However, Lu Shiyan is Lu Jiming's elder, and they are not from the same circle, so they don't have many opportunities to meet, and there is no need for them to establish any relationship.
"After being scared by my uncle like that, I'm really hungry now that I've relaxed..." Lu Jiming grabbed Jiang Li with one hand and pulled Lu Shiyan with the other. "Let's go get a good meal to celebrate my uncle's miraculous survival and rebirth!"
Lu Shiyan's gaze fell on Lu Jiming's hand holding Jiang Li's.
A hint of envy flashed in her cool eyes.
Although he hadn't had much contact with Jiang Li and hadn't had many opportunities to get to know her, he knew just by feeling...
Not just anyone can easily enter Jiang Li's heart.
However, she is still young, just turned 18, and is at the age of going to school.
He still has time; he can proceed gradually.
"Uncle, how about..." Lu Jiming was still a little flustered, afraid that he wouldn't be able to drive, and wanted to ask his uncle for help. But when he turned his head, he saw his uncle staring at Jiang Li like a lovesick fool.
Lu Jiming: "..."
Isn't he a bit redundant here?
"Uncle, you were also frightened today, so..." Before Lu Jiming could finish speaking, he saw Lu Shiyan open the back door for Jiang Li. After Jiang Li went in, he sat down next to her.
Well, he's no longer superfluous.
He was perfect for being the driver.
“Lu, are you alright? How about…” Jiang Li, remembering how Lu Jiming had trembled earlier, suggested, “Should I drive?”
"No, no, no!" Thinking of Jiang Li's driving skills, Lu Jiming shook his head frantically. "I'm fine now, I can do it! Let's go now!"
After arriving at Lu Shiyan's favorite private restaurant, Lu Jiming kept his head down and ate his meal, trying to minimize his presence.
Lu Shiyan, on his own, began serving Jiang Li food, peeling shrimp, and dismantling crabs.
With just a glance from Jiang Li, he could immediately understand the meaning and served her with utmost care and attentiveness.
Lu Jiming felt a pang of jealousy as he watched, and once again clearly felt that his uncle was no longer his own.
Although……
It has never been just for me.
Thinking about it this way makes me even more heartbroken.
Jiang Li was initially a little embarrassed, since they weren't familiar with each other.
However, under the influence of so much delicious food, Jiang Li shamefully abandoned her sense of shame.
They ate with great enjoyment.
Without realizing it, she had gradually narrowed the distance between herself and Lu Shiyan.
There's no sense of alienation that a good meal can't solve; if there is, then two meals will do!
After finishing her meal, Jiang Li looked at Lu Shiyan somewhat embarrassed, "Mr. Lu, you've been so busy taking care of me that you haven't eaten much yourself..."
"I'm glad you're enjoying your meal," Lu Shiyan replied, then frowned. "We're practically brothers now, isn't it a bit too formal for you to keep calling me Mr. Lu?"
"Then..." Jiang Li thought for a moment, "Should I call you Brother Lu?"
"No way!" Before Lu Shiyan could speak, Lu Jiming launched into his support mode, "He's my uncle, and you're my classmate. If you call him Brother Lu, wouldn't that make you a generation older than me? Just call him by his name, and from now on, call me by my name too. It's too formal to call him Classmate Lu!"
Jiang Li blinked but didn't say anything.
“Jiang Li, I think this suggestion is good. From now on, you can call me…” Lu Shiyan’s lips curled up, and his eyes seemed to sparkle with tiny stars, “Ayan.”
