Lin Che got outside of the car and stood by the roadside, watching Gu Jingze.
He stood on the other side and talked on the phone. He held his phone in one hand while his other hand was tucked in his pocket. He looked like he was on the cover of a British magazine. He looked extremely elegant and beautiful.
Gu Jingze took a few steps forward and was about to come over. Lin Che also smiled at him. But just then, a car suddenly came out of nowhere and sped straight ahead.
Lin Che panicked. She took a step forward and yelled in Gu Jingze's direction.
"Gu Jingze, move away!"
Gu Jingze looked up and Lin Che froze. She saw the car drive straight forward and in a split second, the image of Gu Jingze almost merged to the back of the car.
A huge bread truck blocked everything at that side. Lin Che ran across the road like a mad woman.
Gu Jingze was on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
Tears rolled down Lin Che's cheeks as she rushed to his side. She cried as she held up his shoulders and exclaimed, "Gu Jingze? Gu Jingze, wake up! Wake up!"
Tears fell like a thread of pearls and landed directly on his cheeks.
Gu Jingze opened his eyes and was greeted by Lin Che's panicking expression.
Just before then, he wanted to take revenge on Lin Che and prank her the same way she did to him this morning.
But he did not expect her to actually be this worried.
He could not pretend anymore.
He looked at Lin Che and hugged her tightly in his arms. He held her with one hand while the other patted her back, "Alright, alright. I'm fine. Don't cry..."
However, the tears just kept flowing. She could not stop.
Lin Che gazed at him with teary eyes. She could not contain her emotions.
At that moment, she really thought he was dying.
Her mind was completely blank back then and it remained that way even until now.
Deep down, she could not even imagine what she would do if he was really under the car and unable to wake up.
She could only hug Gu Jingze and bury her face in his embrace. She breathed in his scent and tried to calm herself down slowly. He was fine. He was still there. She hadn't lost him.
After a long while, she was still feeling scared. She looked at Gu Jingze and even reached out to touch his face. She wanted to feel if this was real or all just her imagination.
She gazed at him and her voice was hoarse, "Are you okay?"
Gu Jingze thought revenge would have been sweet but when he saw that she actually cried, he already regretted it.
If he had known, he wouldn't have made her that worried.
If he had known, he would have let it go after she pranked him and not tried to get back at her.
"I'm okay, I'm really okay. Touch me, I'm good. The car only grazed past in front of me. Nothing happened to me at all."
He quietly held her hand and let her touch his face.
When he felt her hand trembling, he blamed himself even more.
"Alright, alright. Don't cry anymore."
