Chapter 1 A high fever, vision restored
"Xia Lili, you've already taken two days of sick leave!"
"If you don't show up soon, I'll have to replace you! Do you know how many people are vying for this part-time job?"
Xia Lili, who was in her sleep, suddenly shuddered and woke up immediately. She pleaded to the person on the other end of the phone, "No! Sister Zhang, I will definitely be there today!"
After having a high fever for two consecutive days, Xia Lili felt that she had finally recovered today.
She hasn't found a job three months after graduation. If she loses her part-time job with Sister Zhang, rent and food will become a problem.
Xia Lili hung up the phone and rubbed her aching head. Being severely myopic, the first thing she did when she got up was to grope for her glasses by the bed.
She is 1200 degrees myopic and has astigmatism.
Without glasses, I can't tell the difference between people and animals two meters away. The world around me looks like it's through a layer of frosted glass, and I can only vaguely distinguish the colors of objects.
After searching for a while, Xia Lili found that her black-framed glasses had been thrown under the desk at some point.
She was about to get out of bed to pick it up when she suddenly stiffened.
Wait, something's wrong!
The desk was almost two meters away from her. How could she see clearly the small pair of glasses under the desk?
Xia Lili looked up suddenly and rubbed her eyes.
She found that everything in the rental house became extremely clear!
She could even clearly read the small print on the calendar on the wall: The fifteenth day of the intercalary sixth month, Jiyou Day, is auspicious for cleaning and burials, but unfavorable for marriage and travel...
Xia Lili turned her head and could clearly see the contact number on the billboard a hundred meters away from the window!
You know, when she usually wears glasses, she can only see the numbers on the billboard vaguely, not as high-definition as now.
After confirming it several times, Xia Lili finally believed it. Overnight, her eyesight recovered from severe myopia to standard level!
Maybe even 5.2!
I feel like I can be a special forces soldier!
Xia Lili was surprised and confused. How come her eyesight suddenly recovered?
Is she dreaming?
“Ring, ring, ring—”
At this moment, the alarm on her cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting Xia Lili who was immersed in great joy.
If I don’t go out now, I’ll be late for my part-time job!
She quickly washed up and went out, scooting a shared electric scooter to the Huajin Shopping Mall in Yangcheng.
To get from the urban village where she lives to the Huajin Shopping Mall, one has to pass through a busy intersection with a long red light that lasts for 70 seconds.
While waiting for the red light, Xia Lili hummed a cheerful tune.
It feels so good not to have to wear glasses!
Her lenses are very thick, and she doesn't have money to buy light frames. Wearing glasses for a long time has left marks on her nose bridge, and she has to wipe the sweat off her nose all the time even in the hot summer.
More importantly, with her severe myopia, the cost of vision restoration surgery is 40,000 yuan.
Now that her eyesight has been restored, it’s like she’s earned 40,000 yuan for free!
There are no side effects of myopia surgery!
However, what puzzled her was how her eyesight recovered overnight?
Could it be that the two consecutive days of fever caused the optic nerve to mutate?
“Ding ding ding—”
Xia Lili was thinking when the car behind her honked at her.
She looked back and saw a delivery rider in an orange T-shirt honking his horn impatiently at her.
"Get out of the way quickly! My takeout order is about to time out!"
Xia Lili turned her head and met the rider's eyes. She was frightened by the murderous look in the other's eyes.
She was about to turn around and move the car, but she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision blurred, as if her eyesight had regressed!
It’s over, could this be a sequelae of a high fever?
Is her vision recovery only temporary?
Xia Lili's heart was shocked and her joy disappeared instantly. She quickly reached for her glasses in her pocket.
However, the next moment, a shocking scene appeared in her mind——
The orange-clad delivery rider in front of me rushed out when there was only one second left in the red light countdown.
He collided with a car that ran a yellow light and flew five meters to the ground, bleeding profusely.
The picture disappeared, and Xia Lili's eyes suddenly became clear again.
Xia Lili was stunned. What was going on with the image that suddenly appeared in her mind?!
The orange-clad delivery rider became increasingly furious when he saw Xia Lili still looking dazed.
"You idiot, you don't understand what I'm saying, do you?!"
"Do you believe I can just bump into you?"
After the rider said this, he turned the handlebars of the electric scooter and the front of the scooter rushed forward.
Xia Lili was so scared that she quickly made way for him.
The delivery guy immediately rushed to the front of the electric bike group, his eyes fixed on the second display on the red light.
Xia Lili thought of the scene that appeared in her mind when she looked into his eyes just now, and she bit her lip.
This person may be annoying, but his crime does not deserve the death penalty.
Xia Lili couldn't help but remind him, "Brother, don't run a red light later."
"Safety is the most important thing, everything else comes second."
There were many electric vehicles waiting for the red light, and the owners couldn't help but look sideways when they heard Xia Lili's words.
This little girl is such a good person with no temper.
Even though the rider treated her like this, she still kindly reminded him to be careful.
The orange rider turned his head abruptly upon hearing this, and looked at Xia Lili with eyes spitting fire: "Such nonsense, are you telling me how to do things?"
At this moment, he noticed Xia Lili's face. She had delicate features and was pretty. He then thought about how she was stunned when she saw him just now. Could it be that she was stunned by his handsomeness?
His tone softened a bit, and he gave Xia Lili a crooked smile: "Are you still interested in me?"
Xia Lili suddenly felt like she had eaten a fly.
speechless!
She caught a glimpse of a delivery guy wearing a blue helmet on her left.
Xia Lili quickly shook her head: "No, you're mistaken. I'm talking to the delivery guy wearing a blue helmet."
I hope the scene that just appeared in her mind was just an illusion!
The delivery guy in the blue helmet looked friendly. He knew Xia Lili was afraid of being harassed by the orange-clad rider, so he nodded in agreement. "Thanks for the reminder. I'll drive slower."
At this time, the red light was counting down to five seconds, and the delivery rider in the orange T-shirt no longer looked at Xia Lili.
The moment the seconds jumped to 1, he accelerated with all his strength and rushed out like an arrow.
Many electric cars that were ready to go subconsciously suppressed their desire to race against time because of Xia Lili's words just now.
At this time, the red light turns green.
Before the army of electric bikes could even start, a small white car rushed out from the intersection on the right and directly knocked the orange-clad rider who had just run a red light away!
All the vehicles and pedestrians at the scene witnessed the orange-clad rider flying five meters like a parabola and falling heavily to the ground. The bright red blood stained his clothes, flowed out from under his body, and soaked the asphalt road.
His car also slid out, leaving a lot of debris at the intersection.
Xia Lili's pupils dilated as she witnessed the scene in her mind become reality.
Some kind-hearted people around have already started calling the 120 emergency number.
The delivery boy in the blue helmet quickly thanked Xia Lili: "Little girl, thanks to your reminder just now, otherwise I would have rushed out after him."
Someone in the electric car army also said: "Yes, luckily you reminded me, I didn't follow you."
"That guy's attitude just now was so bad, it's hard to persuade him with kind words, damn it!"
It is the morning rush hour now, and a car accident has occurred at an intersection. Most people don't have time to sit back and watch the fun.
The passerby did not stop for long, bypassed the accident scene and continued towards his destination.
Traffic police also quickly arrived at the scene to maintain order.
Xia Lili didn't have time to think about it anymore. She kept comforting herself that the image that just appeared in her mind was just a coincidence, or an illusion caused by the sequelae of a high fever.
Riding her electric scooter at full speed, Xia Lili arrived at the first-floor lobby of Huajin Shopping Mall at the last minute before work started.
She slid and rushed in front of Sister Zhang.
