The winter in Haicheng is bleak and cold, with a chill wind blowing in with a damp smell. It is the Laba Festival, and lights are on in every house.

There were few pedestrians on the street. Shen Mengxue dragged her lazy body, shrunk her head, and walked on the street with an expressionless face.

I could hear laughter and joyful chatter all the time, and it seemed that everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

And she could only watch the white mist exhaled slowly dissipate.

It took me half an hour to walk a ten-minute distance.

Ten minutes ago, my mother's slightly impatient voice came clearly from the phone:

"Mengxue, you are not young anymore. You will be 28 after the Chinese New Year. If you are interested in our family's marriage proposal, the matchmakers will almost come to our house to ask for your help."

Shen Mengxue took away her phone slightly, "Mom, I don't want to get married yet..."

"Girl, when mom was your age, you could already help with the cooking."

Then, the phone was taken away and a hoarse voice came on:

"Mengxue, Dad is not pushing you to get married, but at least you have a boyfriend, right?"

"With Dad's illness, I don't know if I can see you get married and have children. Just do it for Dad's sake... cough cough!"

There was a strong sense of weakness in Mr. Shen's voice. Shen Mengxue couldn't bear it and agreed:

"Dad, I have a boyfriend, but I haven't had time to bring him back to see you."

Father Shen was very excited: "Really? Dad's biggest wish in this life is to see you get married and have a good man to take care of you. In this way... ahem, Dad can leave with peace of mind."

"Dad, no, the doctor said your condition is very stable. As long as you have regular checkups, you will be fine."

Father Shen: "Okay, you work hard and bring him back to stay for a few days during the New Year."

After hanging up the phone, in a two-story building in the countryside of Haicheng, Shen's father was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. After a year of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the disease was temporarily suppressed, but he looked completely different, skinny, and looked like an old man in his twilight years.

"Old lady, don't push her too much. Mengxue has a hard life, but fortunately she is very sensible and we don't need to worry about anything."

In front of him, the middle-aged woman in a plain cotton coat curled her lips with a look of disdain:

"Did I force her? Do you think I was willing to force her? It's because my family owes so much money that I don't even have any relatives to visit."

She squinted her eyes slightly and said, "I'm afraid that if you come to our house, we will give you a red envelope. I'm so scared."

Father Shen sighed: "It's all my fault, old lady, don't worry about it."

The middle-aged woman turned and left, muttering: Marrying into your Shen family is such bad luck. Your son is missing and your only daughter refuses to marry.

Now, look what happens, I still have to serve you, an old man, when I am old.

At that time, it was the intersection of Fuxing East Road in Haicheng.

Shen Mengxue was waiting for the traffic light. It was already half past five and she had to rush to her part-time job.

The burden of the whole family fell on her, and her small body was bent under the weight.

"boom--"

Suddenly, a luxurious-looking car came running rampant!

It rushed into the red light and collided violently with several cars driving normally in the side lane.

The luxury car rolled over and was soon knocked to the ground. The fuel tank burst and the pungent fuel continued to flow out.

At the critical moment, everyone watched from afar and did not dare to step forward.

In the driver's seat, a driver had already fainted.

The back seat of the car was pressed to the ground. Bang! The car window was smashed from the inside. A large hand covered in blood stretched out with difficulty, calling for help:

"Help! Come and help me!"

Unfortunately, in this situation, the luxury car was clearly fully responsible and passers-by did not dare to step forward to help.

It is their nature to watch the fun, and they don't want to get involved in trouble.

The man's face was pressed into the car and could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was a pair of starry eyes with an anxious look.

It was the evening rush hour and the surrounding cars were instantly jammed into a long queue.

Shen Mengxue pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

Those longing and helpless eyes were full of attachment to life. She had seen such eyes in her father.

This was the look in my father's eyes when he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

Confused and desperate, yet full of pleading and pity.

Shen Mengxue didn't know what she was thinking, and she rushed over in an instant.

Someone kindly reminded: "Little girl, don't go over there. If it explodes, you will die there."

Some people also mocked: "Driving Cullinan and racing everywhere, these dandies deserve to die, otherwise they will harm others."

Someone else sneered, "In my opinion, she wants to rescue the rich young man in exchange for overwhelming wealth!"

Shen Mengxue turned a deaf ear to these discussions.

With firm steps, he ran over and knelt on one knee on the ground. His cold little face was full of encouragement: "I'll open the door first, and you cooperate with me inside."

next second.

"Click!" There is a sound.

The car doors lock automatically.

"What? How could this happen?"

"What, can you open the car door?"

The man's resolute face always showed calmness and composure.

His feet were stuck by the small table that fell from the Rolls-Royce, and he couldn't move. Even with no leverage, the man still smashed the car window with his fists. You can imagine how much force he used.

"What do you need me to do?" The person involved was not panicked, but Shen Mengxue was a little panicked.

The gasoline seeped more and more, and soon the light yellow sticky liquid flowed to her feet.

"If you can open the car door, you can get me out."

Hearing this, Shen Mengxue immediately tried to pull the car door handle.

It’s a pity that it can’t be opened at all.

Turning around, she asked for help: "Is there anyone kind enough to come and help me? I beg you!"

The cold wind was biting, and her clear voice floated out like beautiful natural music.

Wherever her soft eyes looked, people there turned their heads away, avoiding her pleading gaze.

Who wants to care about other people's life and death?

"Don't beg them, I don't need anyone's pity!" The man's voice was cold and became more desperate.

He seemed to have accepted the reality, but also seemed to be too tired to have the strength to push the door anymore.

Shen Mengxue squatted down and tried to pretend to be calm: "Listen, I don't care what kind of desperate situation you are in now. If you give up and accept your fate, you will not be far from death."

Her trembling voice was not beautiful, but it was full of positive energy:

"We will work together and it will work out!"

Lu Chenyu looked at her deeply with his starry eyes, and raised his thin lips slightly: "I didn't expect that the one who would accompany me to the end of my life would be a strange woman whom I have never met before!"

"Stop talking. If you can come out, I'm willing to talk to you for the rest of my life!"

Hearing the disappointment in his voice, Shen Mengxue tried to comfort him:

"Remember me, my name is Shen Mengxue!"

She stood up and kicked the car door again and again, trying to open it.

The man inside kept trying to press the remote control bolt.

"Hahaha!" Sitting at the window booth in the western restaurant opposite, there were a man and a woman. The man was noble and handsome, while the woman was elegant and generous.

"Lu Chenyu, let's see whether you live or not this time!"
