Chapter 520: Knocked down by the delivery boy
Chapter 520: Knocked down by the delivery boy
Wang Cheng remembered that it was raining heavily and windy that day. She needed to hold the umbrella handle with both hands to prevent the umbrella from being blown away by the wind. She and Yang Leyan worked in the same industrial park. It took about two minutes to walk from her office building to the downstairs of his office.
But it was raining so hard that day that it took us five minutes to get there.
Zhang Yihang was working overtime in the company as usual. The whistling sound of the wind through the window caught the man's attention. He turned his head to look at the time and remembered that Wang Cheng would come to his office to find him at this time every day.
It was windy and rainy outside, and the man was worried that his girlfriend would get wet, so he picked up his phone and called Wang Cheng.
Beep...beep...
No one answered Wang Cheng's call. The man got anxious and left his workstation with his phone.
The rain from the sky poured down densely, and the umbrellas were shaking all over from being beaten. Some were even broken into pieces, leaving only the umbrella frame.
Zhang Yihang walked out of the first-floor lobby. The entrance was crowded with people, most without umbrellas, and a few waiting for the rain to subside. The man poked his head out, but didn't see his girlfriend.
Wow!
An electric bike passed by Wang Cheng, splashing water all over the ground. The woman jumped away in a hurry, and only managed to keep her upper body clothes dry, but her trouser legs were damaged. The cotton fabric was very absorbent, and Wang Cheng felt that his body had instantly gained two kilograms.
The woman was furious. She looked up at the direction the electric scooter was heading and cursed, "Don't you have eyes?"
Bang!
Wang Cheng covered her mouth in surprise. She had never imagined her words could be so powerful, capable of knocking down an electric scooter from a distance. The woman, clutching her umbrella tightly, walked over to watch the excitement. She pushed through the crowd and was surprised to find Zhang Yihang also lying on the ground.
"Yihang..." Wang Cheng was extremely worried, and his voice choked, "Are you okay?" The woman moved the umbrella over. Among the onlookers were Zhang Yihang's colleagues. They helped Wang Cheng lift Zhang Yihang up from the ground and moved him to the sofa in the hall.
The delivery riders in blue uniforms were also placed on the sofas in the lobby by other kind-hearted people.
While Wang Cheng was wiping the water off his boyfriend's head, he scolded the delivery man:
"Tell me why you're riding so fast?" The woman's nostrils flared violently. "My trouser legs are all covered in water from your electric scooter. And look at my boyfriend, he got knocked to the ground by your electric scooter."
The delivery guy waved his hands and said, "I didn't hit him. He suddenly ran out from the rain and I didn't have time to brake. The wheels slipped easily in the rain, so he fell to the ground." He muttered:
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be so unlucky..."
"You actually dare to bite back!" Wang Cheng was so angry that his face turned red.
Zhang Yihang hurriedly grabbed his girlfriend's hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'm fine. My clothes are just a little wet."
Seeing that her boyfriend was also talking to the delivery boy, Wang Cheng stopped wiping the water off him, ran to the side in a huff, and ignored the two of them with a pout.
Zhang Yihang wanted to hug his girlfriend, but his clothes were soaked, so he had to squat in front of her and said, "I feel so cold... Can we go home and change clothes first?"
The man reached out and grabbed his girlfriend's trouser leg, twisted it gently, and the rain poured down to the ground. He quickly used his sleeve to wipe the water off the ground.
"Just stop it..." Wang Cheng's heartache for his boyfriend overcame his slight discomfort. He reached out and pulled him up from the ground. "Go home and change clothes first."
The delivery guy hadn't taken off his hat yet. During the gap between Wang Cheng and Zhang Yihang's conversation, he hurriedly took off his hat to get some fresh air.
Zhang Yihang calmed Wang Cheng down, looked back at the delivery guy, and wanted to apologize to him. After all, he was in a hurry to go out to find Wang Cheng, so he accidentally blocked the guy's way.
The moment he saw the delivery boy's face clearly, a familiar feeling came over him. Zhang Yihang frowned and his eyelids drooped. After a while, they lifted up again, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.
It's him! The homeless guy I met by the park last time!
The other person noticed his surprised look and immediately put his hat back on.
"Let's go..." Wang Cheng on the side also turned around and urged.
Zhang Yihang subconsciously turned sideways to prevent his girlfriend from recognizing the other person, and the delivery guy took the opportunity to escape.
A vague sense of unease lingered in Zhang Yihang's heart. This was the second time... or to be precise, the third time, that the other party appeared next to him and Wang Cheng.
Ever since they last encountered a homeless man in the park, the young couple has been very cautious when going out and never goes to places with few people.
On this day, the two were eating hotpot at the Xiaoniujia Village Yellow Beef Hotpot Restaurant when Zhang Yihang suddenly received a call from his boss. The restaurant was very noisy, so the man walked out of the restaurant to answer the phone.
When he finished the call, he casually glanced at the street across the street. A sanitation worker in a yellow uniform was very eye-catching in the crowd. Zhang Yihang retracted his gaze and was about to return to the hot pot restaurant when the uneasiness in his heart suddenly surged up. He quickly turned his head and looked at the sanitation worker again.
The other person looked at him for a second, then instantly disappeared in the crowd.
Zhang Yihang moved his feet, trying to catch up, but was blocked by the endless stream of vehicles on the street. The man sighed heavily and had to give up.
The man returned to the hot pot restaurant, and Wang Cheng excitedly handed him the menu: "I ordered some according to your taste. Do you want to add anything?"
Zhang Yihang looked at his girlfriend, feeling very conflicted about whether he should tell her what had just happened.
Seeing that he was silent, Wang Cheng said, "Hmm?" "Are there any difficulties at work?"
The man came to his senses and saw his girlfriend's eyes full of worry. He hurriedly explained: "No, no, let me see the kitchen knife."
"Okay!" The clouds on Wang Cheng's face disappeared instantly, leaving only the joy of dating his boyfriend.
"Master Ling, I believe my own eyes. That day, the delivery guy picked up his electric scooter and was about to leave. I saw that he was alone and in a very awkward situation, so I asked Zhang Yihang to help him. Before he left, he raised the windshield on his helmet and glanced at me."
"I recognized him right away as the homeless man in the park. But he refused to admit it. Zhang Yihang also spoke up for him and said he should leave quickly because it was raining. I was so angry..."
Wang Cheng’s anger didn’t seem fake, and her suspicion was genuine.
"Master Ling, can you tell me, is the fortune teller that Zhang Yihang's mother found accurate?"
"Or could you help my boyfriend calculate it again? Is Shanghai really not suitable for him?"
Mei Linger smiled slightly. "When your mother went to the man for fortune-telling, she secretly took a photo of him. Have you seen that photo?"
