Chapter 48: Big things become small, small things become nothing. Tu Zhizhuo got into a car accident...
Tu Zhizhuo was in a car accident.
The moment he got the news, Su Huaiwang immediately booked a ticket and rushed to the provincial capital to see her.
As a result, I saw Tu Zhizhuo lying on his side on the bed, eating a peeled apple and watching TV series.
"...Didn't you say you were in a car accident?"
Su Huaiwang hadn't put down his luggage yet and looked exhausted.
"Oh, you're here! I told you not to come. It's not a big deal."
Tu Zhizhuo put down the toothpick in his hand, sat up, and patted the edge of the bed.
Although he was unhappy, Su Huaiwang still sat down obediently.
"It's out. Here, look." Tu Zhizhuo asked her to look at the purple wound on her ankle. If Su Huaiwang had come two or three hours later, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the wound and the skin.
“…That’s it?”
Tu Zhizhuo patted her back heavily and said seriously, "What do you mean by 'that's it?' Are you hoping something bad will happen to me?"
Su Huaiwang looked at her quietly, pointing at the tiny wound. "You were in a car accident, and this is the only thing you've got injured? Let me ask you, what's the point of you lying in the hospital? Doing charity?"
"Isn't this just for observation to see if there are any other problems, such as amnesia or something." Tu Zhizhuo rolled his eyes, looking mean.
Su Huaiwang exhaled deeply.
She looked around.
This is a single ward with newly renovated facilities. Tu Zhizhuo, wearing a clean hospital gown, lies on the adjustable bed, feeling as relaxed as if he were at home.
"...You're not trying to avoid work, are you?"
Su Huaiwang unconsciously told the truth. Tu Zhizhuo was shocked and quickly covered her mouth: "You can't say that!"
Su Huaiwang, who was physically silenced, rolled his eyes at her.
The timing was just right, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Tu Zhizhuo's parents walked in.
Su Huaiwang stood up immediately: "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Tu Zhizhuo's parents were both around fifty years old. They smiled as soon as they saw her: "You're here. Did you have a smooth journey?"
"We're all taking the high-speed rail, so how can it go smoothly or not?" Tu Zhizhuo found another piece of Hami melon in the fruit plate to eat.
Tu Zhizhuo's mother glared at her daughter, then turned to look at Su Huaiwang with a friendly expression: "Since you're here, why not stay in Sibei for a few days? I'm planning to let Xiaozhuo go home and rest for a few days, and you two can still have some fun together."
"This..." Su Huaiwang hesitated, but Tu Zhizhuo celebrated first: "Yeah! No need to go to work!"
Her father, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted her with one sentence: "We'll make up for it after the injury heals."
Tu Zhizhuo instantly wilted, turned his back and didn't look at these sad people.
Su Huaiwang looked at her back and asked uncertainly, "Is her injury real... only that serious?"
That was a car accident. Wasn't the car said to be destroyed? How could Tu Zhizhuo still be so... alive and kicking?
"Yeah, that car crash looked really scary, but people are lucky they weren't hurt."
"Isn't this an injury--" Tu Zhizhuo, with his back to them and only a pair of ears exposed, raised his legs lazily.
Mom ignored her and continued talking to Su Huaiwang: "At first, we thought she might have some internal injuries—something wrong with her brain or something."
"Are you insinuating that I'm stupid?"
"Later we found out she really didn't have any injuries on her body, and coincidentally, the doctor's report had also come out."
Tu Zhizhuo's mother turned sideways, and Su Huaiwang realized that there was someone following them.
He was wearing a professional suit, holding a folder in his hand and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses.
The woman saw her and nodded in a friendly manner.
Su Huaiwang always felt that this scene was a little familiar, and even the face he had never seen before also felt familiar.
"Miss Tu Zhizhuo is indeed fine and can be discharged from the hospital today." said the woman in professional attire.
"Great!" Tu Zhizhuo jumped up from the bed.
Her mother looked annoyed and walked over with a frown: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you jumping around like this!" The man followed the woman and echoed, "That's right, that's right."
Ignoring Tu Zhizhuo who was being scolded, Su Huaiwang focused his attention on the person in front of him.
She looked him up and down. “You don’t look like a hospital worker.”
"I'm certainly not." The woman in professional attire smiled back.
"and you……"
"I'm from the Urban Rail Processing Bureau."
? !
Su Huaiwang clenched his hands.
"Don't worry, Miss Tu Zhizhuo is completely safe at the moment."
"You said the same thing last time, but I still..." Su Huaiwang subconsciously didn't want to say what followed.
The staff member readily continued, "That's why we provide you with a return visit service. Don't worry, we won't put the personal safety of citizens at risk."
But even though she said it with all her heart, Su Huaiwang still didn't believe it.
"I hope so."
Su Huaiwang took out his cell phone and found the chat history with Tu Zhizhuo.
"So this is related to the problem you're dealing with?"
This was the message Tu Zhizhuo sent her last night saying he had fallen asleep. However, according to her understanding today, Tu Zhizhuo had already been in a "car accident" at this time last night.
The staff nodded and without hesitation took the responsibility of their own unit according to the plan made before departure.
"We don't want to get more people involved."
Su Huaiwang put away her phone. She could understand.
"Su Huaiwang! Why are you chatting with people? Come over and help me pack my things." Tu Zhizhuo was very noisy. After knowing that she could be discharged from the hospital, she couldn't wait to be discharged the next second.
Nonsense, no matter how good the hospital is, it can’t be as good as home.
"One last question." Su Huaiwang looked into the staff member's eyes: "Did she lose her memory too?"
Unexpectedly, the staff member answered her frankly:
"A little bit, to prevent that kind of incident from affecting the lives of citizens."
"So, is this also the reason for my amnesia?"
"That's another question."
The staff member smiled at her and said, "Your friend is calling you. You'd better go over there quickly. Sometimes, it's better to know nothing than to know more."
Su Huaiwang took a step back and turned to look at Tu Zhizhuo. When he looked back again, the staff member in front of him had disappeared.
She was not surprised by the other party's efficiency.
The three people beside her seemed to have never seen this professionally dressed woman before, and were still noisily packing their things.
Su Huaiwang walked towards them without changing his expression, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
-
She lived with Tu Zhizhuo in Sishui for several days, so long that Tu Zhizhuo was pulled out of bed by her mother and dragged to go to work.
She and Tu Zhizhuo have known each other since childhood, and his family is no stranger to her. They treat her the same way as they treat Tu Zhizhuo.
But she eventually got used to living alone.
After observing that Tu Zhizhuo was indeed fine, Su Huaiwang began to think about saying goodbye.
Tu Zhizhuo didn't try to persuade her to stay, but just smiled cunningly: "You will have to come back to me after a while."
"Why?" Su Huaiwang was curious.
Tu Zhizhuo shook his finger: "Secret."
Tu Zhizhuo sent her to the high-speed rail station and bought her some souvenirs. Before Su Huaiwang could even say thank you, she said:
"It's for your little beauty."
The words he was about to say were swallowed back.
“…She’s not from my family.”
Tu Zhizhuo ignored all the nonsense and stuffed the gift into her arms before waving goodbye:
"Come on! Try to fight for your life!"
Su Huaiwang stood in front of the entrance holding a gift, and all the eyes of people passing by were looking at them.
Meeting Tu Zhizhuo's malicious eyes, Su Huaiwang cursed in his heart and hurried into the high-speed rail station, leaving behind this friend who always embarrassed him.
Two hours by high-speed rail, two hours by expressway, and another two hours by mountain road.
Before sunset, Su Huaiwang saw the familiar roof.
By this time the setting sun had already reached the top of the mountain, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since what happened that day, she has been reluctant to drive at night.
I just don't know where she got the courage from when she was walking with Lin Jue in the early morning of that day.
Thinking of what happened that day, Su Huaiwang's whole body weakened, and he lost control of the steering wheel, causing the car to stop crookedly.
Su Huaiwang: ...
She resigned herself to her fate and got out of the car.
The smell of the mountains and fields, which she had not seen for several days, once again filled her nostrils.
She took a deep breath, but always felt that there was some strange smell mixed in with the taste.
Before I could analyze the smell, someone tapped me gently on the shoulder.
Su Huaiwang turned around and saw Lin Jue behind her, with a familiar smile on her face:
"I'll help you with your luggage."
The two of them have become much more familiar with each other now. Even when Su Huaiwang is out, her furry puppies are left in the care of Lin Jue.
Su Huaiwang naturally felt much more at ease after accepting her help.
"Okay." She nodded.
The corners of Lin Jue's lips rose a little more, and Su Huaiwang had a vague illusion that there was a tail wagging behind her.
Su Huaiwang rubbed his eyes and drove this dangerous illusion out of his mind.
While helping her move the suitcase, Lin Jue whispered about the three little ones' recent performance.
Su Huaiwang was happy to hear this and laughed out loud from time to time.
After closing the trunk, Su Huaiwang walked around to the front seat and took out the souvenir that had been safely placed on the passenger seat.
As soon as the gift came out, Lin Jue's eyes lit up immediately. She pointed at herself, with undisguised anticipation in her voice: "Is it for me?"
Su Huaiwang nodded: "Yes, Tu Zhizhuo gave it to you."
The girl's expectations were immediately extinguished.
She took the gift rather stiffly: "...Oh, so that's it. Thank her."
Su Huaiwang didn't know why she suddenly felt lost. She pointed to the box and said, "There's something in there for you from me."
The depressed mood was suddenly lifted again: "What?"
Su Huaiwang couldn't help but look at her, and felt that her emotions seemed a little too rich recently.
She still remembered when she first met Lin Jue, he was like a man made of jade, and he almost always had that expression...
Well, it's pretty good now.
Su Huaiwang smiled secretly without her noticing.
She reached into the box and took out a piece of jade: "This one feels very suitable for you, so I bought it."
When passing by the jade shop with Tu Zhizhuo, Su Huaiwang, who never bought anything while shopping, suddenly felt the urge to buy the jade for some reason.
The jade was not cheap, but fortunately Su Huaiwang had a lot of money in his wallet, so he bought it right away.
Su Huaiwang may not know the function of this jade, but Lin Jue cannot be unaware of it.
This is a piece of Yin jade, perfect for nourishing people with Yin in their bodies or ghosts.
Lin Jue solemnly put away the jade, letting it stick close to him, and said to Su Huaiwang earnestly: "Thank you, I will cherish it."
Su Huaiwang felt a little embarrassed: "It's not such an expensive gift..."
Before she could finish her words, a voice suddenly interrupted them:
"You're too modest. This jade has its own benefits. It's a good tonic for her."
It was a familiar, cheerful voice, but for some reason, compared to the first time I heard it, it now contained a hint of targeting, but not towards her.
Su Huaiwang turned his head and looked over.
Sure enough, it was Lei Yinyin who appeared out of nowhere.
