16 Movie 16 ‖ Jingning
She was very tired that night and should have fallen asleep easily, but Yan Shuang tossed and turned in bed and had many dreams. She began to dream about her childhood, her loving parents and the cute and ignorant him.
However, as the dream deepened, he dreamed that there was endless white fog all around him.
Yan Shuang found himself in a dark and eerie place, surrounded by thick fog and a strange atmosphere. He felt a chill rising from his spine, his heartbeat accelerated, and he became nervous and uneasy.
Suddenly, a loud, piercing crash shattered the silence, a sound that threatened to pierce the eardrums. The once eerie streets suddenly became noisy, filled with other sounds. Some screamed in terror, others called for emergency services. Soon, the shrill sirens of ambulances could be heard in the distance.
People gathered around, whispering to each other about the serious car accident and wondering if anyone could survive.
Yan Shuang stood in the middle of the road, his eyes involuntarily looking towards the place where the car accident happened. At this moment, he happened to see medical staff carefully carrying two people out of the cab. Those two people were his parents!
They were covered in blood and their flesh was a mess, but their eyes were wide open, making it hard to look at them.
He wanted help, but no matter what he did, the people around him remained indifferent.
Yan Shuang opened her eyes in horror and sat up suddenly. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, which wet her hair in front.
The scene in his dream was the scene of his parents' car accident. He had never seen it in person, but he had seen it countless times on video. He gasped, and after realizing it was just a dream, he breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the bed.
I couldn't sleep, but it was only seven in the morning, so I might as well get up early.
When I walked to the balcony, I saw Old Man Li next door also sitting on the balcony, holding a radio and listening to the news.
"Yesterday, a major traffic accident occurred in our city. Eleven vehicles collided on the Lanhe Bridge, causing severe traffic congestion. Many large and small vehicles collided with each other, leaving debris scattered all over the ground. The injured have been sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. Three of them died on the spot..."
When Old Man Li saw Yan Shuang, he turned off the radio and asked as if it were his own child, "Xiao Shuang, why are you up so early today on the weekend?"
Old man Li has lived here for a long time. When Yan Shuang's family moved here, he lived here for many years.
At that time, Old Man Li was still very young and had an elderly partner by his side. Sometimes when Yan Shuang's parents were busy with work, he would go to Old Man Li's house to do his homework.
However, a few years later, his wife passed away, and since then, Old Man Li has lived alone in this place. Time flies, and now Old Man Li is gray-haired and has witnessed countless storms and changes.
"I can't sleep." Yan Shuang smiled.
"We are old. You young people should pay more attention to rest. No matter how big the problem is today, it will be a small matter tomorrow. No matter how big the problem is this year, it will be just a story next year. Health is the most important thing." Old man Li had gray eyebrows, high cheekbones, and a low nose bridge. He had a kind smile in his eyes, looking very friendly. Then he sighed, "Listen to the news just now. Three people were so young and they are gone just like that."
"Hahahaha, you are in good health, young man." Yan Shuang said.
This made Old Man Li burst into laughter, and then he looked Yan Shuang up and down, his eyes full of relief and joy, and said, "That's great, you've grown into a handsome boy in the blink of an eye. You were only this tall when you first moved here." As he spoke, Old Man Li used his hands to measure at his knees, as if he could still see the small figure from then.
Yan Shuang smiled in response, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. The relationship between him and Old Man Li had long since transcended neighbors and was more like a family.
The two chatted for a while about family matters, and then Old Man Li went downstairs to practice Tai Chi.
Yan Shuang watched Old Man Li depart, a wave of emotion welling up in her heart. Though this community wasn't large, it was filled with human warmth. Every resident knew and cared for one another. Living here offered a sense of tranquility and peace of mind.
This is the most common morning for Yan Shuang.
After Old Man Li went downstairs, Yan Shuang also returned to the house. Just as she finished making breakfast, Xu Yaoyu sent a message: Have you seen the news?
Yan Shuang: What news?
Xu Yaoyu: There was a car accident on the Lanhe Bridge yesterday!!!
Yan Shuang: I heard a little bit. It seems that there was a collision between eleven cars and three people died.
Xu Yaoyu: Yes!
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yaoyu threw a few photos over. Yan Shuang clicked to enlarge them. The photos were very clear, and the death could only be described as unrecognizable.
Yan Shuang didn't even bother to eat her breakfast and went to look for the news report again.
Because the photo sent by Xu Yaoyu was of the other three people who entered the game with them.
Yan Shuang stared at the news for a long time, her fingers sliding lightly on the phone screen, but her mind was thinking about other things. She had sent a friend request to Jing Ning without anyone noticing.
He had too many questions that he wanted answers to. When Yan Shuang came to his senses, the phone showed that the other party had agreed to add him.
Yan Shuang stared at the dialog box, speechless. He didn't know what to ask. He and Jing Ning had only just gone through a game. Dr. Lin's reminder last night had been all he could do. No one would be willing to share the clues they'd worked so hard to obtain with someone who had nothing to do with them.
Finally, Yan Shuang hesitated for a long time and typed the word "early". After thinking about it, she felt that it was a bit monotonous, so she added a sun emoticon after the word.
Jingning also came back early in the morning.
Yan Shuang waited for a while, but there was no response. The other party must have replied to him out of politeness, so he put down his phone and prepared to eat the cold breakfast.
Yan Shuang's requirements for food were not high, as long as he could fill his stomach and not get poisoned, he was fine. He was not a picky eater and did not pursue the enjoyment of gourmet food.
While he was eating, his phone suddenly rang, and a video call request appeared on the screen. The caller turned out to be Jing Ning! This surprised him a little.
Yan Shuang quickly answered the call, and a handsome face appeared on the phone screen.
It seems that Jingning is in the study. Unlike Yanshuang's old house, the bookshelves in Jingning's house are obviously carefully designed.
Jing Ning saw Yan Shuang answered the phone, so he put down the pen in his hand and said, "I was busy just now. How much do you know?"
Yan Shuang: "Not many. Have you seen the news? Those people who died in the Lanhe Bridge accident."
Jing Ning pinched his eyebrows: "Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning?"
Yan Shuang was stunned and a little embarrassed: "I was scared at first."
Jing Ning: "Like I said, death in the game will also disappear in reality."
