Soon after, a black modified Hummer sped up the driveway.
Lei Qingyi wiped his face, drops of water still dripping down from his hair.
“Lu Yi! What the hell are you doing? I just got into the bathtub, my skin is still stiff, not even a piece of paper would be properly soaked through if you had thrown it in with me!”
But then he noticed there was something wrong, so he stopped talking.
The corner of his eye twitched and he overtook a car rapidly.
He stopped the car, Lu Yi was holding a woman and waiting for him at the door of the community.
The door opened, Lu Yi got in with the woman in his arms.
“Let’s go.”
Lei Qingyi scratched his spiky hair.
“Why don’t you call an ambulance, why did you make me come, and who is she?”
Lu Yi lowered his head and looked at the woman who had fainted and was lying still on his thigh. His eyes were calm and he was steady as a mountain, sitting in the car without moving.
“I don’t know,” he replied, barely opening his thin lips. His casual words only angered Lei Qingyi more.
You don’t know? Fine, you don’t know but you still get yourself into trouble and then drag me in too! This has happened so many times, don’t you know how irritating you are?
When Lei Qingyi was about to speak, Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. “You know how the road conditions are these days. The ambulance isn’t as fast as you. I’m afraid that the woman might be dead by the time the ambulance arrives.”
“How could be you so squeamish?” Lei Qingyi muttered. But he was secretly pleased as Lu Yi had praised his driving skills. Lu Yi was knowledgeable about driving, knew that his friend was an exceptional driver, that he could win international races. But his mother wouldn’t let him do such a dangerous thing. He had pity on his car that wasn’t being used to its full potential, he had even assembled it himself.
Still, he rolled his eyes upwards. “Lu Yi, aren’t you being too kind to her?”
“You would have done the same thing.”
Lu Yi didn’t say much. He looked down again. Until this moment, he hadn’t really seen the facial features of the woman. She was similar to what he imagined, though, she was very young and thin and good looking. To him, however, there was something more. She seemed familiar in a way he couldn’t place.
How could she be familiar when they had just met, though? He couldn’t quite remember, and just as he thought he recalled something important, Lei Qingyi stopped his car suddenly.
They had arrived at the hospital.
Soon after, Yan Huan was taken to the emergency room, where they were informed that she had indeed fainted.
“This face…”
Lei Qingyi suddenly hugged his arm. He was 1.9 meters tall and with his stubbly chin, he was like a bear. But he didn’t look intimidating when he was dressed casually, with a pair of plastic slippers on his big feet, wet hair, and water still dripping down his face.
He got close to Yan Huan abruptly and gave the doctors and nurses a start when he turned her face towards him with his big hand.
“Oh, yes, I knew who she is. She’s Yan Huan.”
Lu Yi widened his eyes suddenly, “How did you know?”
That name, it seemed to…
