The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 320

The poppies are gone.

Li Zhi subconsciously glanced at Chu Xing.The latter didn't seem to care much, and slowly stood up.Li Zhi was still in shock, gritted his teeth and said to Chu Xing: "Master! Poppy is absolutely lawless! If she hadn't dodged in time, we would have all been killed just now!"

Chu Xing glanced at her and said, "Then are you dead?"

Li Zhi was taken aback, Chu Xing had already left.His pace was a little slow, and he stopped after walking a few steps. Li Zhi saw that he frowned slightly, took out the phone, dialed it, and ordered after a while: "Lu Ming, call the doctor. I sprained my ankle."

Poppy drove the car all the way to the highway around City C.

Clouds were slowly pressing down on the sky, and the air was damp and cold.Poppy's car is a convertible, in case of a sudden wind and rain, the only thing to do is to get wet.She knew it in her heart, but she refused to turn back. Instead, she stepped on the accelerator and accelerated, passing all the cars in front that could block her view.

A muffled thunder sounded from the sky, Poppy sullenly continued to open.But after a while, there were raindrops crackling down.

The autumn wind and torrential rain, engulfed in the coldness, quickly extinguished the heat on people's bodies.Poppy was dressed thinly again, and soon had a cold war.She didn't know how long she drove until she was drenched from head to toe, and her mind finally calmed down.

Poppy tried to bring down the speeding car, but found that depressing the brake did not work for a while.

She stepped on it harder.This time the speed still has no tendency to drop.

There was a "hum" in Poppy's mind.

She had never encountered such a situation, nor had she paid close attention to it before.Such an extremely unlikely event suddenly happened to her, Poppy's face was completely drained of color, and her usual calmness was completely out of control.

She tried to downshift and brake slowly, to no avail.Other than that, I can't think of any other way.The car was speeding all the way on the highway, and Poppy's hand holding the steering wheel began to tremble.The car in front kept being overtaken by her.What Poppy felt happy just now, now only feels thrilling.

Ahead is the highway intersection.Poppy has nothing in her mind, and she can no longer feel the rain on her body.

When her eyes glanced at the mobile phone, Poppy was shocked and grabbed it almost without thinking.

The number was so familiar that she could dial it correctly with her eyes closed, Poppy pressed the phone to her ear, her lips trembling slightly as she waited for the beeping sound.

The phone was connected after it rang five times, and at the moment when Chu Xing faintly said "Hello", Poppy cried loudly: "The car is broken!"

Her voice was mixed with the depressing and swift sound of wind and rain, and she sounded extremely panicked.Chu Xing's eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately stood up: "What's wrong with the car?"

"The brakes failed!" Poppy's voice was full of tears, "I can't stop! The car can't stop!"

"Where are you?"

"I do not know I do not know!"

Chu Xing was silent for a moment, and his voice suddenly softened: "Poppy, don't panic."

Poppy sobbed, and Chu Xing's voice came into his ears, low and steady: "Look at the sign next to it, tell me, where are you?"

His words were lingering and coaxing, as if a hand was gently stroking his back, successfully soothing Poppy.Poppy's eyes gradually cleared up, and she barely glanced at the sign in front of her, and said, "Three kilometers ahead is the entrance to the expressway to the west of the city."

Chu Xing gave an "um" and said, "Don't be afraid. Slowly change to the emergency parking belt, remember to look behind, and don't make a sharp turn."

His voice was as unhurried as ever, and Poppy complied obediently.Chu Xing said again: "Take off the high-speed gear, step on your empty accelerator, and then switch from the high-speed gear to the low-speed gear after stepping."

"Pull your handbrake, don't pull it too hard, release it when you're done, and pull it tighter."

"Are you already at the toll intersection? There are no cars at the far right toll gate, and the railing is lifted. Just rush over there."

"Drive along the side of the road, carefully scrape the side of the car against the railing, and stop slowly." Chu Xing waited for a while, then asked softly, "Have you stopped?"

Poppy gave a low "hmm", a sob choked in her throat.Chu Xing took the windbreaker on the back of the chair and said in a deep voice, "Don't move there. I'll come right away."

Chu Xing said not to move, but Poppy did not move.After stopping the car, he sat in the seat with his knees hugged.The rain dripped down her hair, and Poppy was drenched from top to bottom, but she didn't seem to notice it, and she remained motionless.

Fifteen minutes later, two black cars appeared in the distance, driving towards this direction like lightning.

There was a harsh emergency brake sound, and the door was opened.Chu Xing held down the hem of the windbreaker, bent down and stepped down.

His eyes found her, and he strode over.The pace was slightly bumpy, but very fast.He walked all the way to the sports car, opened the door, bowed, and with a little force, he hugged Poppy into his arms.

Poppy's eyelashes fluttered, and her eyelids half-raised.Chu Xing wrapped her in the windbreaker, Poppy's lips were pale and moved, but she was still speechless.

The wind and rain were rushing, and Chu Xing stepped into the car with the distraught poppy in his arms.

The air conditioner was turned on, but Poppy was still shivering.Chu Xing glanced at her, stretched out his hand, and held her tightly in his arms.

"Look, isn't it all right?" Chu Xing stroked her back over and over again, and said gently, "Not afraid. Huh?"

Poppy was mischievous when she was young, and climbed a crabapple tree while playing hide-and-seek with Chu Xing.Chu Xing found a field of pink petals, and when he looked up, he saw Poppy holding a branch of crabapple in his hand, sitting on a branch with two bare legs dangling.Seeing that he was discovered so quickly, he let out an "ah" and said angrily, "You cheated!"

When Chu Xing beat her up, he just thought it was funny.Poppy angrily threw down a bunch of flower branches, Chu Xing caught one casually, hooked his hand at her, and teased her: "You are so heavy, if you don't come down, it will bend the begonia."

"How dare you say I'm heavy!" Poppy frowned, and threw a bunch of flower branches around her head, "Okay, I'm going to bend your precious crabapple tree! I won't go down!"

Chu Xing said with a smile: "Then don't come down, I have to go?"

Poppy snorted and turned her head away.Chu Xing pretended to walk a few steps, but Poppy saw that he had gone far without looking back, and finally became anxious, and said "hey" loudly to Chu Xing.

Chu Xing just pretended not to hear, and continued to move forward.Poppy saw that he was walking farther and farther, and she almost bit her tongue off in anxiety, her voice already had a hint of crying: "Chu Xing!"

Chu Xing finally stopped and turned around in a leisurely manner.Poppy stared at him for a long while, but finally became depressed: "I can't get down."

Chu Xing laughed, walked back under the tree, half pinched his waist and teased her.It wasn't until Poppy was so annoyed by the look that she was about to throw down another flower branch that he stretched out his arms from under the tree with a smile, looked at her tenderly, and said, "Come here."

Poppy rarely saw him actually smile.That time was probably the first time I saw it.I just feel that Chu Xing's eyes are wide open, as if there is a deep light, and there is spring in the end of the eyes, with a long-lasting affection and a restrained and deep appearance.Poppy stared blankly, but Chu Xing thought she was still hesitating, tilted his head, smiled softly and said, "Not afraid. Huh?"

Poppy was really not afraid at that time.He jumped down with his eyes bent, and then he heard Chu Xing's muffled groan, and his whole body was wrapped into a gentle embrace.

For Poppy, the years that flowed lightly at that time were the happiest time in her memories.
