Chapter 1
Hiss……
It hurts… . . .
Am I dying?
The strong smell and taste of blood could be felt in the nose and mouth . Dong Xuebing could not move even his fingers, and it was total darkness . He tried to move his neck, but there was no reaction . He finally mustered all his strength to open his eyes, but he could only open a slit . He could make out a blurry vision of an overloaded dump truck . Beside him, there was an old man in his 70s or 80s and a beautiful woman in her late 20s lying in a pool of blood motionless . There was a crowd of onlookers . From their mouth movements, they seem to be shouting something . However, Dong Xuebing could not hear anything .
The old man was dead . Aunt Xuan was dead . He was badly injured…… Most likely he would not make it .
Looking at the pretty face of the woman he secretly admired, Qu Yunxuan, Dong Xuebing felt like his heart was being stabbed by a knife .
Neighbour Qu Yunxuan was a kind woman . Earlier at the traffic junction, she saw the old man having difficulties walking and offered her help to help him cross the road . Despite the traffic lights in their favor, a truck came speeding towards them . The driver might be drunk or had fallen asleep on the wheel . Dong Xuebing, who was some distance away saw the danger and came running towards Qu Yunxuan . He wants to push her out of the way of the truck . But he was too late, and he was also knocked down by the truck .
Regrets .
Dong Xuebing had never regretted so much in his life .
If Dong Xuebing noticed the out-of-control truck earlier and rushed out to save them, the 3 of them did not need to die .
But now…… It was too late .
Dong Xuebing could feel his eyelids getting heavier and heavier . He could no longer bear to see the twisted bodies or Qu Yunxuan and that old man . He shut his eyes and waited for his time to be up .
Kaboom!
There was a loud thunderclap . It was so loud that it could shatter someone’s soul .
The next moment, Dong Xuebing felt his vision blurred, and he felt jumped out of the darkness .
Dong Xuebing could feel his strength, hearings, and vision coming back to him . He was in a dazed and looked around him . He noticed that he was all fine and standing in front of the traffic junction . Around him was the traffic in Beijing . Cars, taxis, and vans were zooming past him . Under the dim lightings of the streetlights, people were walking as if nothing had happened .
“Sir, let me help you cross the road . ”
“It’s fine . Thank you, young lady . I am fine by myself . ”
“I am just staying opposite, and it is not a hassle . Come, let me help you . ”
Dong Xuebing turned around towards the voice in shock . A smiling Qu Yunxuan was at the pedestrian crossing not far away . She also saw Dong Xuebing and said: “Xiao Bing, you are back? Are you out with your friends?” The person beside her was the old man who had just passed away . The old man also looked at Dong Xuebing and coughed .
“Ah… Ya… I am back . ” Dong Xuebing was looking around him and answered unconsciously . He was still trying to figure out what had happened .
What happened? I am not dead? Aunt Xuan was not dead? The old man was also not dead?
Dong Xuebing slowly lifted his hand up and opened his palm . He clenches his fist and then opened it up again . There was no blood or wounds .
Was he dreaming? There was no accident? Everything was only a hallucination?
The traffic lights changed from red to amber, and then the traffic lights opposite the road turned green and showed the green pedestrian man . The pedestrians start to cross the road . The old man with his walking stick was the slowest, and Qu Yunxuan was helping him to cross the road .
This was familiar .
This was a very familiar scene .
Suddenly, there was the roar of an engine, and Dong Xuebing instantly turned towards the engine sound . A truck was moving on the right turning lane from another road . The truck was overloaded with gravels and was not traveling very fast, at about 40 Km/h or 50 Km/h .
