I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 9

The limousine carrying Xiao Fan and Li Ruoying left the hospital, and soon merged into the bustling and busy downtown of Rongcheng City.

The flow of people coming and going on the street, the fireworks in the downtown area, the luxury of luxury stores, and the dazzling array of street stalls next door...

This is Rongcheng, a perfect combination of nobility and grassroots.

Here, the sky and the earth are not far apart.

Xiao Fan was in a daze.

Li Ruoying, the school belle sitting next to him, should have been on the same level as him...

The scenes outside that were taken for granted at the moment, when seen from the privacy glass of the rear window of the car, are actually another feeling.

Xiao Fan was not in the mood to appreciate it.

Instead, it just feels like sitting on pins and needles.

Rubbing his hands nervously, he found that his palms were full of sweat.

Then, still not knowing where the hands should be placed.

The driver in front is very professional. He keeps his eyes on the car and concentrates on driving.

Another good thing is that this taxi driver is not as down-to-earth and familiar as other taxi drivers-whether you are interested or not, he will talk to you and give you advice by the way.

The excellent sound insulation ability of luxury cars is also more prominent at this moment.

It was too quiet in the car!
Xiao Fan could almost hear his own heartbeat.

Damn it!

Terrible!

Why so quiet?

so awkward!
so nervous...

Alas……

Even though this car is already a version with an extended wheelbase, no matter what, the space inside the car is actually small.

Although the two were sitting on each side, they were actually very close, especially in such a closed environment.

Li Ruoying's warm breath had already surrounded Xiao Fan tightly.

Ah, it smells so good...

Xiao Fan was already in a daze, but his breathing became more and more rapid.

He was worried - if this continued, he might not be able to hold on to school and would be killed in battle.

Say something?
Say something!

I don't know what to say...

But come on, say something!

Along the way, Xiao Fan's inner activities were stormy.

I'm going crazy!
……

"Thank you."

Li Ruoying actually spoke first!

Ok?
what! ?

Li Ruoying's voice was no less than a thunder falling from the sky, making Xiao Fan crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

His whole body shook violently.

After a long time, he turned his head incredulously and stared at Li Ruoying with wide eyes.

The mouth opened unconsciously, and then couldn't close it.

Xiao Fan saw Li Ruoying's eyes as clear as a deep lake looking at him.

He seemed to be lost in this bottomless lake again.

"Mad Mad Mad..."

"Thank you? Thank me? Why?"

Finally, Xiao Fan took a quick look at Li Ruoying in embarrassment, lowered his head and asked.

"On the plane, you helped pass me the oxygen mask."

"Oh……"

Xiao Fan finally remembered.

My ears burned even more, and I was a little embarrassed.

Suddenly being thanked by Li Ruoying face to face, I was really happy.

It seems that I have never been told thank you by a girl, let alone the school beauty herself...

In fact, helping Li Ruoying to get the oxygen mask was completely a subconscious action of Xiao Fan at the time, and he had no other thoughts at all.

In an emergency, I was scared to death.

"I... you... uh... classmate..."

Xiao Fan stuttered and struggled for a long time, but he managed to choke out these few words.

Just then, a series of bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Xiao Fan closed his eyes in pain, really wanting to shoot himself to death.

what is wrong?People thank you!

Can't say a few words?
Who do you think you are?
Still want to pretend to be cool?
All the beauties from the school have taken the initiative to speak!
Why don't you say a few more words?
Amount of...

Uh you bubble teapot!
Xiao Fan was very dissatisfied with himself and felt that he was too useless.

However, no matter how upset he was, he could only scold himself a thousand times in his heart.

eh, but...

He also knows, isn't this the truest self?

What's the matter, and you still expect that you will suddenly change your sex, and just open your mouth to talk?
Or can he become humorous and witty immediately, making the school belle tremble?

wishful thinking!

But, that being said...

Could it be a little bit different?
After all, such an opportunity is so rare.

After passing this village, there is no such shop.

Li Ruoying took the initiative to say thank you.

and……

He really saved her life - although only he knew about it.

Well, don't be discouraged, find some more talking points!

Xiao Fan frowned again, thinking hard.

correct!

He finally thought of a topic.

"Well, I used to see you often at school..."

Li Ruoying didn't reply and looked at him innocently.

Obviously, Li Ruoying had no impression of him before.

Ok……

Xiao Fan heard what he just said, and looked at Li Ruoying's eyes, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Huh?Why does it feel more and more weird?

Oops!

Xiao Fan regretted it.

What does this mean?
It’s too easy to get sidetracked!
Li Ruoying has never seen me, but I often see her...

She shouldn't think that I often follow and spy on her!
Injustice!
I do not have it!

I don't mean that at all!

Xiao Fan is about to cry...

"That, it was just a chance encounter, not..."

Xiao Fan explained subconsciously, but his voice became quieter and softer.

His face is red and white now...

What else does this explain?
It gets darker and darker...

Xiao Fan really despaired of himself.

I almost tried my best to pluck up the courage to talk to Xiaohua.

In the end, is it still the same effect?

Xiao Fan really felt that he was so useless!

Listen, listen, what did I say, shit!
……

Li Ruoying blinked, probably seeing Xiao Fan's embarrassment.

"Sorry, I didn't know you before, there are too many classmates in school."

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Fan hurriedly answered, for fear that Li Ruoying really misunderstood him as a voyeur or a stalker.

"We are not in the same department," Xiao Fan scratched his head, "Actually, even many girls in our department don't know me..."

"Hmm..." Li Ruoying nodded and turned to look out the window.

This embarrassing conversation seems to have come to an end for the time being.

Xiao Fan cried again in his heart.

Listen, listen, what are you talking about?
You're afraid that the school belle won't think you're weird, right?
Why don't many girls in my department know me?
Haha, I'm such an idiot.

They deserve it for not knowing you!

Xiao Fan scolded himself again in his heart.

Hate its misfortune, anger its indisputable!

……

The car carrying Xiao Fan and Li Ruoying continued towards Shuzhou University.

Silence, silence, despair...

Xiao Fan seemed to be trying to do something to change the atmosphere.

However, this is really too difficult for him.

From getting in the car to now, not to mention changing the atmosphere, his face has been as red as a monkey's butt.

If it goes on like this, Xiao Fan will really be "roasted" with a fever by the blood on his face.

ah ah ah...

Xiao Fan felt like he was being tortured in this luxury car that he spent a lot of money on.

No wonder, Xiao Fan has never been alone with a big beauty for such a long time.

And in a hidden car.

In the past, as soon as he found himself blushing, he tried every means to escape to avoid embarrassment.

But this time...

He can't escape.

He can't ask the master to stop, so run away by himself!

After all, he has a system mission!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan was silent in his heart, and then recalled the specific content of the system tasks.

In the first half, the content of "inviting Li Ruoying back to school", although full of embarrassment, he finally did it.

But there is still the second half, "Protect Li Ruoying's safety at all costs."

This……

Xiao Fan was puzzled again.

He still doesn't understand until now, why is there such a system task content?
He has rescued Li Ruoying from the crashed plane, isn't that enough?
How else do you need protection?

……

At this time, the traffic lights at the intersection changed from red to green.

The skilled driver smoothly started the car again.

When the two cars drove to the middle of the intersection, Xiao Fan suddenly heard the shrill car horn coming from the right window!

drop……

Drop drop drop drop! !

The whistle is getting closer!Almost there!

Xiao Fan subconsciously turned his head to look out the window.

I saw the head of a big truck like Optimus Prime pushing out of the right side window! !

Xiao Fan's eyes widened, almost popping out.

The sharp and piercing sound of the truck horn pierced through the double-layer soundproof glass of the luxury car, and hit his eardrums so desperately!

what happened?

No way?
What the hell? !
Xiao Fan's mind went blank.

This scene came too suddenly, everything happened in an instant.

The dazzling headlights of the truck were flickering at them, blinding Xiao Fan's eyes to daylight.

He seems to have rushed into a very unreal world...

Until this moment, Xiao Fan finally understood the real intention of the system task.

It turned out that this was why the system asked him to "protect Li Ruoying at all costs"! !

But, but...

what should I do?
Thousands of thunderbolts raged in Xiao Fan's mind.

I don't have the "time still" lv33 special edition anymore! !
Yes, the novice gift package makes it very clear that he only has the right to use it once.

But now, all he has is "Standby Time" lv1...

However, unlike a plane crash, there are still a few minutes of falling time before the crash.

This time it's a crash!
At the last moment, Xiao Fan heard the system's entrustment beating heavily on his heart.

"Whatever it takes"!
He smiled bitterly and made a difficult decision.

The moment before the truck collided with the car, Xiao Fan activated "Time Stop".

In an instant, in the closed car, he and Li Ruoying entered the scope of time stillness.

Although, only 0.1 seconds!
But within this 0.1 second, Xiao Fan's gravitational force was reduced - he became fast and vigorous.

Because of this, within 0.1 second, he could rush to Li Ruoying's side recklessly and separate the truck from Li Ruoying.

He wants to use his body to block the truck that is about to hit him!

He arched his back like a beast, opened his arms, and hugged Li Ruoying into his arms!
This is already his fastest speed.

He did everything he could!
……

The subtle spatial fluctuations dissipated.

Bang! ! !
boom! ! !
Right in the middle of the intersection.

A fully loaded truck hit the side of a limousine head-on at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

In an instant, glass shattered, tires were torn, and steel and aluminum alloys collapsed, deformed, and twisted instantly...

Because of the huge difference in quality, the car was instantly pushed by the truck to change its direction and rush to the side.

Stab it! !
Accompanied by horrible noises, an otherwise intact luxury car turned into scrap iron.

The front of "Optimus Prime" has also changed beyond recognition.

The speed of both cars was very slow, and the collision was quite violent.

however.

If someone paid attention to the traffic lights at the time of the collision, he would be surprised to find that the light was green for both the car and the truck.
