The raindrops grew as large as glass marbles, lashing painfully against his face with the strong wind. Mixed with sweat, the rain trickled down his forehead, unable to wipe it away with his hands. He blinked hard, his vision clearing slightly.

The night was dark and the streets were empty, not even a trace of car lights could be seen.

Su Jing's breathing was weak and rapid, and her lips had lost their color. Jiang Yi's heart had never been so panicked. He tightened his arms around her, hoping to give her some warmth with his body temperature, but the wind and rain also took away the little warmth they had.

Finally at this time, Jiang Yi saw a taxi with a red roof light coming over.

The red dome light meant a customer or the end of business. But Jiang Yi didn't care about that now. He held his breath, hugged Su Jing and rushed to the middle of the road, standing right in front of the taxi. The taxi was so scared that it braked suddenly and stopped in front of him.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, the driver didn't curse him. He just opened the window, stuck his head out, and said lazily, "We have a customer."

"To the medical school, 50 yuan." Jiang Yi didn't waste time talking to him, and without waiting for the driver to answer, he walked close to the passenger door of the taxi, turned his wrist, and hooked his fingers on the door handle. This way, the driver would have no chance to drive away.

Seeing this, the passengers in the back row quickly got out of the car, opened the back door and said to him, "You sit in the back, there's more space.

Jiang Yi didn't refuse. He carefully put Su Jing in the back seat before turning to the man and saying, "Thank you."

The man said, "You sit in the back and hold her. It's wider, and if she's injured, she'll be warm. I'll take you to the hospital first." Then he sat in the passenger seat and considerately moved the seat to the front so that Jiang Yi's long legs could have a little more space.

Seeing that the passenger had no objection, the driver didn't say anything. He closed the door and drove straight to the hospital.

"Brother, are you fighting for a girl, or is the girl fighting for you?" The driver looked at Jiang Yi in the rearview mirror with a playful look in his eyes and jokingly said in a teasing tone.

When he saw Jiang Yi's face clearly, he added, "I think the girls probably fought over you. You look like, tsk tsk..."

"Hey." Hearing the driver's words, the passenger in the front passenger seat also laughed. He turned his head to look at Jiang Yi, waiting to hear his answer.

Jiang Yi was still panting heavily, Su Jing's head resting on his lap, eyes closed, face pale. He panted a few times, shaking his arms, which were already numb from carrying someone, and said to the two people in front of him with a wry smile, "Oh my God, how is this possible! What are you thinking!"

"Hey, you're so handsome, and this girl is dressed so...ah..." The driver was embarrassed to say "young" and paused before saying, "They look like they just came out to have fun and got into a fight."

"No way," Jiang Yi said, "She's my classmate. She was just robbed. I happened to see her coming out of my grandmother's house. It's not what you think."

"Oh oh." The two people in front responded in unison.

The rain outside has changed from glass marbles falling one by one to basins of glass marbles mixed with water. Heavy rain mixed with hail is pouring down.

The wipers tried hard to shake their arms, but the driver still couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so he had to slow down.

Jiang Yi rummaged through his pockets for a while, pulled out a little over a hundred yuan in change, counted out fifty, and handed it to the driver. "Brother, fifty yuan should be enough to wash the car after the fare. Thank you!" He then patted the passenger seat back twice and said to the man, "Thank you too, brother. I delayed your return home and got you wet in the rain."

The driver smiled at him in the rearview mirror, "Enough car washing, it's okay."

After pocketing the money, his hands regained feeling and he picked up Su Jing again. Her shoulder was still bleeding. He held her head against his chest and held her with both arms, trying to keep her warm.

The driver watched his actions in the rearview mirror, a smile curled up on his lips, and said, "Little brother, I see, you are more than just classmates, right?"

Jiang Yi looked at Su Jing without raising his head and said, "Well, she has been pursuing me for a long time." He thought the driver was too gossipy, but still answered with some pride.

"Wow!" The driver exclaimed, "Little brother, it's okay, but you do have the capital to be arrogant." He looked at him carefully in the rearview mirror.

The boy's skin looked whiter than the girl he was hugging. He lowered his head, his long hair covering his eyebrows. His eyelids were slightly long, with upturned corners. His eyelashes were like his daughter's dolls, and his nose was high and straight, which was handsome.

The driver sighed. “Hey, there are a lot of girls chasing you at school, right?”

"Uh...how long will it take to get to the hospital?" Jiang Yi changed the subject, and he was indeed a little anxious.

The hail outside seemed to have stopped, but the rain had not weakened at all. The road had begun to accumulate water, and it was impossible to increase the speed.

"It's almost there. We'll be there in about ten minutes." Seeing that he was anxious, the driver stopped joking with him and drove seriously.

The carriage fell silent, with only the sound of raindrops hitting the car body, and the occasional flashes of lightning and roars of thunder that illuminated the earth.

Because Su Jing was shivering, Jiang Yi held her and wanted to lift her body a little higher, so that she would be warmer. He thought so and did so.

However, a small accident occurred.

When Jiang Yi held her up with both hands, his arms were too tired to exert any strength, so instead of lifting her up, he lifted her skirt.

That secret area appeared in front of Young Master Jiang without any warning or preparation, which made his eyes dizzy and his hands tremble.

Young Master Jiang was stunned for less than a third of a second before hurriedly pulling her skirt down to cover the white triangle with a hint of green. Guilty, he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the driver, completely absorbed in driving, oblivious to the incident. He breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Su Jing's long coat over her legs.

At this moment, the hospital building came into view, and Jiang Yi felt like he had seen Noah's Ark. The driver said, "Here we are, little brother. I'll try to get you to a place that's sheltered from the rain."

"Okay, okay, thank you, big brother."

Fortunately, when the car stopped at the hospital entrance, the wind and rain subsided a little, and the driver parked very close to her. Jiang Yi tried his best to block her with his body. He didn't even notice it. His actions were like protecting a treasure that he loved very much.

Hospitals back then didn't have the facilities and services we have today. It was late at night, and when Jiang Yi carried the patient in, he felt like a headless fly, unable to find his way.

After walking around the hall for a long time and seeing the sign for the emergency room, he gritted his teeth and carried the person to the door of the emergency room. His arms were numb again, so he could only put Su Jing on the bench in the corridor.

He ran into the emergency room and called the doctor out. However, the doctor just glanced at the wound, rolled his eyelids, and took his pulse. The whole process took less than a minute. He then said nonchalantly, "It's just a bit of bleeding, no big deal. Go pay first."

After saying that, he went straight back to the emergency room without even looking at the confused Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Yi was a little confused when he saw him leave. Shouldn't he have taken care of her first? He just left her here? Did he mean he wouldn't do anything unless he paid? He chased after the doctor and shouted, "Doctor, why don't you stop the bleeding first?"

"Go and pay the money!" The doctor gave him a cold look as if he were a fool, his eyes full of impatience.

"No, I'm definitely going to pay, but you can't just leave her lying here and do nothing! She's still bleeding and she'll die!"

The doctor rolled his eyes at the fool again, "If you don't pay, and I fix it and you run away, will I have to pay for the medical expenses?"

Young Master Jiang felt like he'd been slapped in the face, his chest feeling like it was about to explode! Doesn't the way he's dressed look like someone who can't afford the emergency medical bills?

He had never been spoken to in such a tone in his life. This was the first time someone thought he couldn't come up with the money and would run away. Young Master Jiang felt that his self-esteem was seriously hurt.

The doctor saw him staring at him strangely, and since he was only in his teens, he probably didn't understand anything. He sighed and said, "You need to go register first. Here, over there." The doctor pointed to the emergency room registration area and said, "I need to prepare the sterilized tools and sutures first. Hurry and pay the fee and come here."

"Oh, okay, I'll go now." Jiang Yi then hurried to the emergency registration office.

After registering, Jiang Yi ran back, carrying Su Jing into the emergency room and placing her on the bed. The doctor looked at the girl, half of her body covered in red, shook his head, and asked, "Who are you to her? What happened to her?"

"She was just robbed. I'm her classmate."

"Then go and inform her family to get some clothes to change into, quickly."

"Okay, okay," Jiang Yi agreed, turned around and ran out. Just as he ran out, he turned back and asked the doctor, "Doctor, where is the pay phone?"

"There's a coin-operated stall next to the hospital gate. Turn right and there's a small shop 50 meters outside the gate. It's open all night and there's also a store there."

Jiang Yi turned around and ran out again. Another voice came from behind, "Ask her family to get some thicker and larger clothes."

After finishing the call, Jiang Yi was soaked all over. He ran to the bathroom, wrung out his clothes and put them on before he walked back to the emergency room.

The doctor had given her a shot to stop the bleeding and had completed the disinfection. The nurse on duty wasn't there. Seeing him coming back, the doctor said, "That's great. You come and steady her. Her wound is on her shoulder, and it's hard to align the stitches if she's lying down."

Jiang Yi walked to the operating table and glanced at the white girl's underwear cut off by the doctor and the blood-stained coat. His heart began to beat rapidly.

The delicate skin looked pale from the excessive bleeding, the neck was slender, the collarbone was clear, a large shoulder was half uncovered, and a small snow-capped mountain arched under the thin soft material. Once again, without any warning, it rushed into his eyes.

His throat suddenly became dry. Jiang Yi swallowed hard several times, clenched his fists, shook them hard twice, took a few deep breaths, and then moved his stiff body closer to the treatment bed.

The doctor turned around, holding up his hands. Seeing him staring blankly, he frowned and said, "What are you staring at? Help her up and lean her against your chest. Yes, the wound is facing me."

"Oh, oh," Jiang Yi snapped out of his trance and hurriedly followed the doctor's instructions, picking up Su Jing and leaning her toward him, her head resting on his shoulder. She was still unconscious, her body slumping uncontrollably to one side. Startled, Jiang Yi quickly righted her. To prevent her from falling again, Jiang Yi exerted a little more force, holding her tighter until their chests pressed together.

"Doctor, is this okay?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Oh, okay, hold on tight. An unconscious person is very heavy. If she slips while I'm operating, it will make the wound worse."

"okay, I get it."
