Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

The tightly closed door completely separated the two of them.

Through the frosted glass on one side of the door, you can still see the figure of the person who is still standing still.

The man's long hair fell along his shoulder line.

Even just glimpsing a blurry, slender silhouette is enough to stir one's heart.

Chen Jianji continued to look out the window, his gaze not shifting even slightly.

Peripheral light at the corner of the eye.

All that could be seen was the lifted bed curtain, swaying back and forth in the breeze blowing in from the window.

Chen Jianji lowered his eyes and tightened his grip on the railing.

Until the blurry figure on the door disappeared.

He didn't utter a single word the entire time.

The ward gradually returned to calm.

The only sound was the soft rustling of conversations coming from the beds next door.

Chan Kin-kei remained half-reclining, leaning against the headboard, without moving.

The warm touch left by that person after they left still lingered on his body.

That's all for now.

Chen Jianji reminded himself again.

Suddenly.

Squeak...

The room door was opened again.

Chen Jianji's body stiffened for a moment.

He didn't move, his eyes still lowered.

Until the sound of crisp, distinct footsteps rang out.

Chen Jianji gradually relaxed.

He looked up.

Two figures in police uniforms walked up to him.

"Hello, we are from the traffic police brigade, and this is our police ID."

"Upon receiving feedback from Officer Cheng, we will conduct a brief inquiry with audio and video recording throughout."

Are you available now?

The more experienced police officer in the lead spoke up.

The auxiliary police officer next to him was wearing a recorder and had a pen in his hand on the open notebook page, ready to take a statement at any time.

Chen Jianji nodded.

"You can do it now."

"Okay, let's begin."

The two pulled up chairs and sat down, beginning their businesslike questioning.

"First, we verify your identity: name, ID number..."

"Chan Kin-kei..."

Do you have a driver's license?

"The test is in progress."

"So, you're saying you were driving without a license? Do you agree with that?"

"Approved."

"What happened at the time? Why didn't you call the police in case of an emergency?"

"My phone was out of battery, and someone on the bus had a fever."

......

Chen Jianji calmly and numbly recounted the whole story.

Both traffic police officers took notes.

Finally, the lead policeman nodded.

"In your case, I will report it. If it doesn't cause any major accidents or harm to others, it will most likely be considered an emergency avoidance measure and you won't be punished."

"Of course, I also need to consult with the other party involved to see the specific circumstances before making a conclusion."

"Thanks."

Chen Jianji politely responded.

"Alright, we're leaving now. You get some rest."

The two got up to leave.

Just as I was about to step away, the traffic police officer suddenly reminded me.

"The insurance company won't cover that car; you'll have to bear the loss yourselves."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji looked up and couldn't help but ask.

"Where is the car now?"

"The car has now been towed to a repair shop near the accident site."

"You can decide when to repair or scrap it and handle it yourselves."

Chen Jianji's eyes flickered slightly.

He recalled the time he spent with that car.

He is very sentimental.

He was still driving this old car even ten years later.

The money spent on repairs and spare parts could have bought a new car long ago.

Chen Jianji can no longer distinguish them.

What I can't bear to part with is the car itself.

It was still every single second spent in the car with that person.

Or perhaps both.

After all, that's when I first started thinking about buying this car.

Everything is related to that person.

Chen Jianji slowly turned his head, took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"That car isn't mine."

"Go ask the car owner."

After he finished speaking, he propped himself up on the bed with his hands.

Then he reached for the blanket next to him and covered himself with it.

Chen Jianji stopped paying attention to other matters.

He just kept his eyes closed.

But I just couldn't fall asleep.

The creaking sound of the room door opening and closing kept coming to my ears.

People were coming and going.

It could be a traffic police officer, a family member, a nurse or doctor, or even the patient themselves.

Chen Jianji gripped the blanket tightly.

His brows were furrowed tightly, and he was clenching his teeth slightly.

Since I started learning to drive, plus this incident...

The hotel room.

The man carefully held his own hand, his pleading voice still faintly lingering in his ears.

Don't let her go, don't yell at her.

This is something that Lin Qingxue, as I remember her, could never do.

Chen Jianji felt he needed time to process and restrain himself.

otherwise.

He really couldn't guarantee that the man would push open the ward door again.

Plead with yourself in the same, or even more broken, voice.

Will he soften his heart again?

If it were before...

Chan Kin-kei believed he would not.

But now, she has made almost everything clear to herself.

And those lines of writing in the diary.

All of this indicates that the man surnamed Li has nothing to do with her.

In the absence of a third party involved.

Will I turn back?

Chen Jianji covered his face with the blanket.

No, people change too.

In this life, Li Wenyan did not disappear.

Only then will she change.

If they all leave as well.

Her heart, too, will gradually drift away.

Silence fell over the room.

A gradually firmer voice came from under the covers.

"Won't."

Just as the words left his mouth.

boom!

Unlike the gentle opening and closing sounds that had been coming and going earlier.

This time, the room door was suddenly pushed open.

For an instant.

Chen Jianji's body suddenly stiffened.

......
