Chapter 1: Car Accident Victim

Lian, filled with hatred and jealousy, drove his roaring car towards Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi. But as he saw Yan Luoxi push Zhou Guangtao away and realized that the only result of his actions would be killing Yan Luoxi, Lian forcefully turned the steering wheel to the right, causing the left front side of the car to crash into an old locust tree by the roadside with a sharp screech.

The intense impact caused the car to fly out and roll halfway before landing heavily. The airbags deployed entirely with loud popping sounds; Lian felt sharp pains in his back and head, but just before losing consciousness, he saw Yan Luoxi struggling to sit up nearby, and he wanted to crack a smile in relief, only to fall unconscious.

Yan Luoxi's body was pushed against the side of the car by the forward momentum and fell to the ground. She heard a loud crash behind her and long, urgent braking sounds, and she struggled to get up despite the burning pain in her limbs.

Zhou Guangtao, who had been forcefully pushed away earlier by Yan Luoxi, rushed over to help her and asked anxiously: "Luoxi, are you okay"

"Quickly... Quickly see how Lian is!" Yan Luoxi trembled as she pointed at the overturned car.

Under the scorching July sun, dust was flying everywhere. However, Yan Luoxi clearly saw that sticky blood was rapidly sliding down Lian's handsome face and neck in drops, quickly staining his clothes red. She felt a heavy stone pressing on her chest, robbing her of breath and thought, muttering: "Lian... Lian..."

Lian was promptly taken to the hospital by Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi. On the way to the hospital, Zhou Guangtao calmly took Lian's phone and called the person with whom Lian had the most frequent calls—Shao Junhe.

The hospital treated Lian’s condition with unusual importance, sending several doctors for emergency treatment and examinations. Yan Luoxi stared blankly at the operating room door, biting her lip lightly, her eyes unfocused.

Siao Junhe arrived quickly, his face filled with panic and concern. Behind him followed a beautiful young lady who was worriedly crying out; she pushed a wheelchair in which sat Siao Meizhuo, an attempted suicide victim with disheveled hair and broken bones.

The moment Siao Meizhuo entered the room, her sharp eyes locked onto Yan Luoxi for two intense glances that sent shivers down one's spine.

Yan Luoxi felt a bit guilty and instinctively drew back. Back then, when Siao Meizhuo had paid him to leave, she stipulated that he must never appear before Li An in his lifetime again.

The instant Siao Junhe recognized Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao's appearance, a wave of surprise washed over him. Before he could express any sentiment about their reunion, his attention was drawn to the bloodstains on Zhou Guangtao's clothes, causing an involuntary shudder; it was Li An’s blood!

"Guangtao, why is Li An with you How did a perfectly fine person like him end up in a car accident" Siao Junhe and Zhou Guangtao had once studied together, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Before Zhou Guangtao could answer, two imposing young men approached briskly. They shared similar handsome physiques.

"Brother Zichen, you're here!" Siao Junhe hurried over to greet them; the arrivals were Ming Family's brother and younger brother duo, Ming Zichen and Ming Zixi.

"Big Brother Zichen, what should we do Is Li An in danger" Siao Meizhuo swiftly maneuvered her wheelchair to Ming Zichen’s side, grabbing onto his sleeve as she cried out loud with tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, Big Brother Zichen, how… What can we do" The beautiful younger sister Wu Tiantian stammered out the question too.

"Brother Zichen, should we inform Uncle Li" Shao Junhe was now at a loss and didn't know what to do. No matter how much Li An disdained Li Haonan, the latter was still the second son of their family!

"Don't panic yet. As soon as you called me, I contacted the hospital's director. They've already sent in the best experts." Ming Zichen, being a few years older than them, acted and spoke with more composure, "The experts will soon provide an initial diagnosis. Let’s wait for their report before making any decisions to avoid alarming Uncle Li and Aunt Xiubei."

Hardly had his words trailed off when the operating room door was pushed open. A few nurses escorted a doctor out, converging with Ming Zichen's group.

"Director Zhang!"

"Mr. Ming!" The director Zhang, after removing his mask and gloves, extended both hands in a respectful handshake with Ming Zichen, "Mr. Ming, under our utmost efforts to save him, your friend has now been out of danger..."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Holding Director Zhang's hand, Ming Zichen sincerely thanked him.

Upon hearing this news, Shao Junhe and Ming Zixi visibly relaxed.

Might it be that a calamity would bring good fortune after enduring for a thousand years or simply due to the robust performance of Li An's car This time in the accident, Li An merely suffered a head injury and fractures on his left arm and leg; no other harm was sustained.

Having learned that Li An was out of danger, Shao Junhe immediately thought about Yan Luoxi. Looking at the grown-up and graceful Yan Luoxi before him, he felt an indescribable excitement mixed with unusually tender feelings: "Luoxi, when did you get in touch with Li An Where have you been all these years Why didn't you come back home to see anyone"

Yan Luoxi raised her eyes to look at Shao Junhe. After many years apart, the impulsive and straightforward sunny boy had become a handsome and elegant man, yet his gaze towards her remained sincere and clear.

She felt very confused and conflicted for a moment.

Shao Meizhu saw that her brother was acting like a silly kid again. Before Yan Luoxi could respond, she hurriedly said, "Brother, don’t talk to her now. Let Brother Guangtao take her to get bandaged!"

Yan Luoxi’s arms and legs were severely scraped, making the injuries look very shocking.

Shao Junhe wanted to take Yan Luoxi to see a doctor, but he couldn’t leave Li An’s side. He could only watch helplessly as Zhou Guangtao pulled Yan Luoxi away by her hand.

Zhou Guangtao had been worried about Yan Luoxi's injuries from the start, but since Li An's condition was uncertain, he hadn't dared to take initiative in treating her wounds. Now that someone else mentioned it, he could justify taking her away to treat them.

After dealing with Yan Luoxi’s injuries, Zhou Guangtao intended to leave immediately. However, Yan Luoxi still worried about Li An and returned to check on him. She happened to see Li An being wheeled out of the operating room at that moment, briefly regaining consciousness.

Li An was half sitting up in bed, his perfect appearance undamaged, with all four limbs intact. Although one side of his body had been plastered due to a fracture, upon seeing Yan Luoxi peering around him, he seemed to have found the culprit responsible for the accident; his deeply exhausted face immediately brightened, and hoarsely shouting: "It's her! It’s this woman who caused me to get into that car accident. Don’t let her run away!"s life was thriving. Despite Yan Luoxi still treating him coldly as before, not uttering a word, he felt incredibly happy.This small town was perfect for living in—it was clean, peaceful, and beautifu...
