Chapter 519: It’s Fang Zhu Again
“I got kicked out of the house, my wife’s having a tantrum. Mum said that as long as my wife’s still angry with me, I can’t go home. So Lu Yi, I’ll have to spend the night at your place.”
“Whatever,” Lu Yi said as he picked up the cup again, and lifted his face. He noticed that Lei Qingyi’s eyes were a little swollen.
“Did you bump into something?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Lei Qingyi touched his cheek as he replied, which caused him to grimace in pain.
However, Lu Yi did not expose Lei Qingyi’s lie. In fact, everyone could tell from the bruises that he was obviously beaten up, and there was only one person on earth that could beat Lei Qingyi to such an embarrassing state.
It was none other than Lei Qingyi’s wife, Yi Ling.
Since young, Yi Ling has always been protecting Yan Huan. That was why she had a violent tendency. As for Lei Qingyi, he seemed to be a little masochistic. Hence, they were such a match made in heaven.
After they were done eating, Lu Yi threw his car keys at Lei Qingyi.
“You drive.”
“Why must I drive?” Lei Qingyi pointed at his nose as he protested, but Lu Yi ignored the protest and walked straight to the front of the car, waiting for him.
Alright, Lei Qingyi could only follow his lead, he opened the car door, fastened the seatbelt, and got ready to depart. However, Lei Qingyi felt like he had eaten too much, his stomach was feeling uncomfortable.
As for Lu Yi, he did not eat much, but on the other hand, he drank quite an amount of tea.
Lu Yi placed his phone on his lap, and turned it on.
Then proceeded to send a text.
“Are we there yet?”
He took a look at his watch, nine o’clock, they were probably not there yet. He kept his phone, and looked calmly in front of him. He saw something on the road when the high beam lights were turned on.
“What’s wrong?” Lei Qingyi stopped and got down from the car. He went up with one of his eyes swollen, it appeared that there was something blocking the road.
After a while he rushed back to the car, hitting the car door frantically.
“Lu Yi, come here, hurry up!”
“Yeah, I get it.” Lu Yi lifted his eyelids, got down from the car and headed toward the same direction too.
Lei Qingyi pulled Lu Yi to the front without another word. They were supposed to see the black tar road beneath the road lamps. But instead, it was a person, their hair was neatly polished, the entirely black outfit almost blended completely into the night, and they wore a featureless black colored high heels.
Lei Qingyi had only seen this kind of dress on a person in his whole life. If that person was not Fang Zhu who else would she be?
“Look, she’s Fang Zhu.”
Lei Qingyi spoke as he pointed at the person on the road.
Lu Yi walked toward her and squatted next to it, he put his hand on Fang Zhu’s neck. She was still alive, but he had no idea where was she hurt, so he did not dare to move her body.
He took out his phone, called the emergency center, then took off his jacket and used it to cover Fang Zhu. It did not matter if he knew the person or not, he could not turn a blind eye on this.
Even if the person was Fang Zhu, he would do the same.
As for the reason he did not dare to move Fang Zhu, it was because he was not sure where was she hurt. Since he was not a professional doctor, he was scared that moving her body might injure her again.
“Do you still want to save her?” Lei Qingyi squatted beside him, he pitied the lady. Back then, she treated Lu Yi like a servant, making him deliver items for her under a snowy weather. But now when she was more dead than alive, she was all alone.
Luckily Lu Yi did not marry this kind of woman, or else he could not imagine how miserable his life would be.
“Are you saying that you won’t save her?” Lu Yi asked Lei Qingyi in return.
Lei Qingyi laughed and replied, “Of course I’ll save her, don’t you forget that our Lei family obeys the ancient traditions. The balance of Yin and Yang, and karma. If I see someone in need, I must save them. Moreover,” he pointed at the traffic light not far away, “See that? Surveillance camera, we’re saving people not hitting them. But do you think that the one that hit and ran had a concussion? Logically speaking they should send her to the hospital, but now that they’re running away, they had really committed a crime.”
Lu Yi didn’t say anything, he looked at the watch on his wrist. Beneath the road lamps, their shadows were being pulled longer and longer as time passed; and the breeze at night was getting cooler, the wind blowing on their bodies sent a bone chilling cold down their spines.
Lei Qingyi shivered. It has been a while already, why have they not reached yet?
He put his hand on Fang Zhu’s neck again, feeling her pulse. Fortunately, she was still alive, but he still did not know where her injuries were.
“Hey…” Lei Qingyi patted Fang Zhu’s face, “Miejue, wake up.”
Lu Yi glanced at him lightly, as if warning him.
Lei Qingyi quickly withdrew his hand. It was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other. Furthermore, he has a wife, so he needed to keep a good distance from other women. Lu Yi had always kept himself away from strangers, so obviously he would keep himself from female strangers too.
Hence, he should learn from Lu Yi. Or else, if Yi Ling found out, she would make sure that his other eye was swollen too. The tigress in his home was too scary, he could not defeat her.
Lei Qingyi let out a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the ambulance. It was finally here.
The ambulance stopped, and the paramedics quickly carried Fang Zhu onto the ambulance.
“Drive my car back, I’m going to the hospital now.” Lu Yi then took the car keys from his pocket and passed to Lei Qingyi so that he could go back himself.
“Sure.” Lei Qingyi took the car keys, then both of them went on their own path. He also knew it wouldn’t make things better even if both of them were at the hospital. Moreover, Lu Yi alone was enough. It was better for him to go home and sleep first.
“Name?” the nurse asked Lu Yi.
“Fang Zhu.”
“Gender?”
The nurse asked again.
Lu Yi looked up and squinted his eyes, making the nurse feel like an idiot for asking that question. How was possible for someone that looked so obviously like a woman to be a man?
The nurse took back the question. The question was really idiotic, but it was not her fault that there were many who did not look like a specific gender.
“Age?” This question was the least she could ask right?
“29,” Lu Yi replied calmly.
“29?” The nurse studied Fang Zhu’s face for a moment, “I thought she was about 40 years old. She’s surprisingly young. ”
“How did she get into the accident?” the nurse asked once again.
“No idea, I saw her on the road.”
“What’s your relationship with her? Can you help her make decisions, or is it possible to contact her family? If we need to perform surgery, we’ll need the signature of a family member.”
“Should be alright.” Lu Yi took out his phone. Actually, he did not have the contacts of Fang Zhu’s family. Since he and Fang Zhu were only dating back then, their relationship did not develop to the stage of meeting each other’s parents.
“Mom, it’s me.”
