Stars In His Eyes

Because she was preoccupied with the time she had agreed to meet with the professor, she didn’t realize she had almost missed it. So, upon leaving the mall, He Zhilan was running all the way to the café they had agreed on. However, unexpectedly, because she was in such a hurry, she almost got hit by a car when crossing the street.

Leader Gu and Lady Gu were sitting inside the car, which was being driven by Leader Gu’s soldier. Upon seeing it seemed like they had hit someone, the young soldier, sweating with worry, said, "Leader, Lady, I didn’t see where this person suddenly came from."

"Go and see if the person was injured." Because of his line of sight, Gu Hengyuan couldn’t see the person squatting on the ground ahead, so he had no choice but to open the car door and get out himself.

"Are you alright? Where did you get hit? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Seeing that the person they hit was dressed in a way that clearly did not suggest they were from a poor family, Gu Hengyuan was not worried about encountering a scam, thus he expressed his concern without any hesitation.

"It’s nothing—didn’t get hit, it was also my own carelessness, rushing and not paying attention to the road properly." He Zhilan dusted her hands, though her palms and knees had scraped some skin and were bleeding slightly. She wasn’t the type to make a fuss over this, later she would just rinse with some water and apply some medicine and it would be fine.

After speaking, He Zhilan finally looked up to see the person who had bumped into her and smiled at him. Seeing that he was a soldier, she felt a sense of closeness, "Did I scare you? I’m really fine. My husband is also a soldier, so rest assured, I’m not that frail."

While speaking, He Zhilan stood up, brushed off the dust from her clothes, and then bent down to pick up her things.
