She refused to give in, she simply would not give in at all.
She continued walking forward. Her leg had been sprained so badly it hurt. However, she gritted her teeth without looking back.
Lu Yi sighed softly. Then, he opened the car door and followed after her.
Naturally, Sun Yuhan had noticed Lu Yi following her. Thus, she felt great satisfaction in her heart.
If she were not able to achieve her goal by today, she would not give up. She gently toyed with the ring on her finger.
She believed that in no time, this ring would be swapped for another. She would soon have her very own diamond ring, and it would definitely be a huge diamond. Much bigger than the one she had now, and much prettier as well. Of course, she would not ask for a blue one, she wanted a pink one.
Women who wore heels were very beautiful and gave off a certain aura. However, if the heels were too high, it was a torture for the woman. Especially if they were close to 20cm, then it would be like walking on tiptoe. Just like dancing on the edge of a knife, it would be beautiful to watch but painful for the person involved.
After walking so far, Sun Yuhan’s feet felt like they were going to fall off. Her steps began to slow down, and this provided Lu Yi with an opportunity to catch up. It also gave her a chance to extricate herself from this awkward situation.
However, Lu Yi was still blindly following her from behind.
Sun Yuhan’s eyes swept around her surroundings, looking for a place to rest. It would be even better if there was somewhere she could sit down. A car drove past them, the headlights happened to illuminate a place nearby. On the opposite side of the road, it looked like there was a rest chair near her. All she had to do was cross the road.
She continued onward with a rolling gait. Although this might seem graceful to others, it was endlessly agonizing for her.
Although she was wearing the same shoes of this height, how did she do her shopping without feeling tired? However, she felt uncomfortable all over now. Right, shopping wasn’t tiring! It was because while shopping, her mind was not on her feet. Now, she felt frustrated so everything felt annoying to her. Every step she made hurt her feet and her mood worsened even more. Of course, she could not stop internally scolding the man following behind her. She had seen countless silly people but no one was as dumb as him. He did not even know how to comfort women; would it cost him his life just to say one nice thing to her?
She saw that there were no cars in front of her, so she quickened her steps and walked straight across the road. However, perhaps she had walked too fast, or she was not attentive enough, her leg suddenly gave out. Her entire leg twisted violently when it made contact with the ground.
The pain coming from her ankle was enough to immobilize her for at least half a day. It was so painful that her eyes began to tear up. She could not even move an inch, causing her forehead to break out in a cold sweat.
“Drop…”
She heard something by her ear. Then, a beam of bright light suddenly shone upon her face, causing her to instinctively shield her face with an arm. Yet, the blinding light was so glaring that she could not open her eyes. Furthermore, her leg was excruciatingly painful.
With her mouth wide open, she was more or less stunned. Perhaps it was because the pain was overwhelming until it had stupefied her.
All she could do was stare unblinkingly at the strong glaring light, when suddenly a hand reached out and pulled her backwards. This was followed by a screeching braking noise and the dull sound of something being hit onto the ground.
She lowered her head and saw Lu Yi lying near her, his entire body glued to the ground as blood pooled around his body. It seemed as though her eyes were also reddened by the sight.
“Ah! Ahhhhh…”
She cradled her head as she began to scream uncontrollably.
Yan Huan suddenly turned around, she thought she had heard a noise. Hmm… It sounded like the screams of a woman. Perhaps, it was some youth who was busy enjoying themselves for the night.
The younger generation really was getting more and more unreasonable.
She continued following her shadow, happy as a lark throughout the entire journey. It was also a matter of self-entertainment. Either way, she was not planning on going back. Now, her life was extremely comfortable. This was perfect, as she did not want to worry about those horrid things anymore.
How good would it be if she could live like this everyday?
Perhaps she was still running from it, but she needed to continue avoiding it. Once she was used to it and had forgotten everything, she was able to rediscover herself. Whether or not she would return to acting in the future, it was still undetermined. After all, once an actress’ character had been ruined, it would be really difficult for her to make a comeback.
She had tried to bury herself away for so long, so returning to her original position was no easy task. However, she no longer cared about whether or not she could go back. After all, she had already gotten what she ought to get and had already done all that was needed. Therefore, she had no regrets.
She walked to the parking lot, sat in the car, and began to drive toward the Lu’s residence. After driving for just a while, the road ahead suddenly became congested. Glancing at her watch, she thought to herself. It was already late, I’ll probably get home very late. The Old Master, with his sharp tongue, would probably start shouting at me again.
She pressed the honk once, as the person in front followed suit. She wanted to back away and find another route, but there was already another car stuck behind her. It was the after-work peak hour, so there were a lot of people on the road. Hence, she could neither move forward nor backward, left or right. She could only remain stuck here.
What has happened up ahead? She opened the car door since her car could not move forward anyway. It had already been a few minutes but the other cars did not move even an inch. So, she leaned on her car and occasionally glanced at her watch, her entire body taut with frustration.
She stood on tiptoe and peered as far ahead as possible, discovering that many people had gathered in one place. It seemed like there was a police car as the sound of an ambulance siren blared on. Did an accident happen up ahead?
She opened the car door again, sat inside, and took her handphone to call the Lu family about her current situation. She was an honest person and did not tell lies. Of course, there was no motive behind this, she really was stuck in a traffic jam. She could not leave even if she wanted to and could only remain stationary. She had no idea how long she had waited when she suddenly heard the sound of horns behind her. Quickly lifting her head up, she noticed that she had fallen asleep, sprawled across the dashboard. She glanced at her wrist to check the time.
Half an hour had already passed, and the car in front of her had already driven away. She let out a sigh of relief and stepped on the gas pedal.
When her car passed the location of the incident, she could still see a terrifying puddle of blood, illuminated by the lonely streetlight. She stepped on the gas pedal harder and for some reason, an inexplicable feeling came over her. A person’s life was indeed so fragile.
What was life, but a tiny atom in the whole universe?
Perhaps, it was more like the bubbles in the oceans, a light touch and it would completely disappear.
Once a heart stopped beating, then a human’s life would be lost, departing from the world and disappearing for eternity. One would no longer be able to hear his voice, see his smile, or feel the warmth of his body, ever again.
