When the Villain From an Angsty Novel Transmigrates Into a Sweet Romance [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 24.1

Up ahead on the road, traffic police officers were busy moving about, and medical personnel were shielding the injured individuals as they helped them into ambulances. Amid the clamor of car horns and blaring sirens, Chi Xia’s shouting was not clear at all. Her single glance from the car had caught sight of Manager Peng lying on a stretcher, unconscious. Blood was streaming down from the corner of her forehead, and her injuries were severe, making her current condition completely uncertain. This was precisely why Chi Xia was anxiously calling out Fang Yuqing’s name, all of her usual calmness and composure completely vanishing without a trace.

She squeezed through the vehicles that were stuck in place and unable to move, anxiously approaching the site of the car accident. Chi Xia ran, her eyes searching for Fang Yuqing’s figure through the crowd. Finally, she arrived next to an ambulance. After checking and seeing that the people lying inside were Manager Peng and an unfamiliar woman, Chi Xia urgently asked, “Hello, may I ask where the other injured people are?”

The doctor was busy and could not spare the time to answer Chi Xia’s question. She was giving instructions to the nurse, focusing entirely on treating and saving the injured Manager Peng and her colleague.

A nurse who was pulling off her gloves was just about to pay attention to Chi Xia, but before she could even open her mouth, she saw that Chi Xia had already gone to look for the person in another area. The nurse could not help but stare at Chi Xia’s retreating figure for a few moments, silently thinking to herself: She is in such a hurry, she must be looking for someone very important to her.

Chi Xia looked around over and over again, but she could not find any sign of Fang Yuqing anywhere. Powerlessly, she smoothed back the scattered strands of hair on her forehead. The relatively cold season had actually caused her to break out in sweat from anxiety, which showed just how deeply worried she was in her heart when she saw the scene of the car accident.

All of these reactions stemmed completely from subconscious behavior. At certain times, actions and answers derived from careful deliberation are instead not the most genuine thoughts in people’s hearts; they are more or less laced with elements of self-interest.

Right now, she was not aware of her own inappropriate behavior or it could be said that she simply had no stray thoughts left to think about anything else. The only outcome Chi Xia wanted most at this moment was to find Fang Yuqing as quickly as possible.

“Fang Yuqing!”

The traffic police were handling the scene, and the medical personnel had already driven away in the ambulances, as if a woman named Fang Yuqing did not exist here at all.

Chi Xia had dialed her cell phone many times along the way, but no one ever answered. Now, the person could not be found either. Surely she couldn’t have just vanished from the face of the earth?

The surrounding noise and clamor had absolutely nothing to do with her; the only person occupying her heart and mind was Fang Yuqing.

“Damn it, why is no one answering!” she cursed under her breath. Her deep, dark eyes were clouded with heavy mist, cold and bleak, carrying an aura that suggested if she could not find Fang Yuqing today, she would turn this entire world upside down.

$$*Xiaxia, don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious! She is the female lead, so she will definitely be safe and sound.*$$

Just as Chi Xia was falling into despair, her ears seemed to catch the sound of someone calling her name. Chi Xia suppressed her emotions and slowly turned around, letting out a massive sigh of relief in pure gratitude. During those agonizing ten-plus minutes, Chi Xia felt as though time had stretched out incredibly long, and the heart placed inside her chest had truly been placed over a fire to be roasted over and over again until a person was almost numb.

Fortunately, she could still see her.

That person’s eyes were like crescent moons, and her face was as white as a sheet of paper, making her lips appear all the more delicate and red, like dripping blossoms. Her slender neck bore noticeable injuries, and her forehead was also wrapped around several times with a bandage. She looked pitiful and fragile, making Chi Xia’s heart ache so much that she could no longer utter any cold or harsh words.

Perhaps Chi Xia knew that she was clumsy with her tongue and could not say pleasing words, so she simply ran toward Fang Yuqing. At this moment, the evening glow had not yet vanished, reflecting behind Chi Xia. The thousands of yards of rosy light resembled a celestial wonderland, but this could not compare in the slightest to the Chi Xia in Fang Yuqing’s eyes. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was nothing more than a foil for Chi Xia.

Fang Yuqing could no longer control the residual palpitations and panic in her heart. At the exact moment the car accident occurred, the figures of Meng Ruyan and Chi Xia had appeared in her mind without any hesitation. In a moment where she did not know whether she would live or die, it was extremely normal for Fang Yuqing to think of her mother. The anomaly lay with Chi Xia. In Fang Yuqing’s heart, Chi Xia had already become a character just as important as her mother. She did not detest this feeling at all; it was just that when her head struck the back of the car seat, Fang Yuqing regretted that she had not met with them one last time.

Would she die?

She didn’t know.

But she did not want to die at all. She missed Chi Xia, who had been away on a business trip for so long, and her loving mother so, so much, and wanted to see them.

What followed after that was Fang Yuqing being rescued by a kind-hearted car owner. Everyone in the vehicle was injured, but not a single person met with misfortune. Because of this, Fang Yuqing’s eyes reddened with gratitude, and she didn’t even realize she had an injury on her forehead. If a nurse hadn’t bandaged the wound for her, she would probably still be trapped in a state where her heart felt as though it had not settled back into her stomach. It was also up until this exact moment that Fang Yuqing finally reacted, covering her head and saying it hurt so badly.

Having luckily reclaimed her life and seeing Chi Xia again after many days of separation, Fang Yuqing threw herself into her warm embrace, tightly clutching Chi Xia as she choked out, “I was scared to death. I thought I almost wouldn’t be able to see you again.”

Chi Xia also shed her usual stiffness. Her arms naturally wrapped around the other woman’s waist, and burying her face into the crook of Fang Yuqing’s shoulder, she said in a low voice, “I was scared out of my wits too. It really terrified me.”

In the plot that Chi Xia had received, the stories revolving around Fang Yuqing’s development were all sweet and heartwarming. Her mother doted on her and loved her, and Fang Yuqing herself was an outstanding person who had achieved excellent grades since childhood, quickly becoming an indispensable talent in her company after starting work. It had always been smooth sailing and everything going according to her wishes. Later on, she met the male lead, Yu She, who was wealthy and had harbored a secret crush on her for a long time. It could be said that the entire plot was a combination of sweetness and satisfaction, with absolutely no angst or pain points.

Yet, within such a plot, things that shouldn’t have happened were occurring consecutively.

The female lead’s mother was actually not her biological mother; her biological mother was someone else entirely.

Her originally smooth business trip had suddenly met with a car accident though it was a massive stroke of luck that no one died.

Therefore, Chi Xia was truly terrified by this unexpected accident. The words she spoke were not hypocritical lies.

Fang Yuqing cried out loud, saying in a pitiful manner, “The traffic police said that our car speed was not fast and we all wore our seatbelts, so they even praised us. Fortunately, no other cars had a secondary collision during that period, otherwise I wouldn’t even have a place to cry.”

Chi Xia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, guessing that she was using her own method to comfort people. A subtle, fragmented gentleness appeared on her alabaster face, and her eyes were covered with a layer of warm light. She said, “Don’t you have a place to cry right now?”

Fang Yuqing’s beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted due to the shock she had received. Upon hearing Chi Xia’s words, her eyes grew round, clear and bright while holding tears. A person with a simple mind was truly easy to understand; she was shocked by Chi Xia’s attitude, which seemed like spring water melting at the end of the twelfth lunar month, rippling with an unexpectedly gentle touch that brought both surprise and joy.

The tears in her eyes flowed down disobediently. Chi Xia asked helplessly, her tone rising at the end, “Why are you crying even harder now that you see me? I didn’t bully you this time, did I?”

Fang Yuqing shook her head, saying coquettishly, “I just want to cry.”

“Where were you just now?”

Fang Yuqing remained nestled in Chi Xia’s embrace, gesturing with her chin toward a spot not far away. “In the police car. The traffic police were questioning me, and I have a colleague there too. I kept feeling like someone was calling me, but I was afraid that I had damaged my brain. Later, I realized it wasn’t an illusion and someone really was calling me, so I got out of the car.”

As she walked toward the source of the sound, Fang Yuqing had witnessed a Chi Xia who had lost her pride and composure. That was completely different from the impression she usually gave. Chi Xia would always give people a sense of alienation; her quiet eyes revealed a tranquil stillness, possessing enough stability. To describe it in another way, she would elegantly push away anyone who wanted to get close to her.

However, it was precisely this Chi Xia who had changed into a completely different appearance today.

Listening to Chi Xia’s calling, her heart felt sweet, yet it also carried a wave of sourness.

If she had died today, she would never have known that when this woman was nervous about someone, she could actually make herself so infatuated.

“By the way, why are you here?”

Fang Yuqing had never imagined that the two of them could encounter each other here. While riding in the car, she was still thinking that the two of them really lacked fate recently. It hadn’t been easy for her to return after settling her matters, only to encounter her own business trip, and it happened to be on the exact same day. If you said they lacked fate, that wasn’t entirely right either; in short, they were just short of that single step.

Speaking of this matter, Chi Xia’s throat shifted. She immediately discarded the excuse she had prepared earlier, rapidly searching her brain for a suitable reason, but after thinking it over, she realized it was better to just tell the truth.

She simply spoke the truth, “I bought a gift for you while on a business trip outside. Driving to the airport was because I wanted to give it to you, so that you won’t forget to write in your diary during your next business trip.”

How could Fang Yuqing have ever thought that she would receive a gift from Chi Xia in her lifetime? This was a gift given by Chi Xia, an exceedingly rare sight! Back in high school, when she pestered her to demand a birthday gift, she was only met with the words ‘how boring,’ which angered Fang Yuqing so much that she ignored her for two or three days straight. Later on, that argument occurred, leading to their falling out. It could be said that that argument was a compounding of anger upon anger.

She felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and asked, “It’s a gift for me?”

“You don’t want it?”

Chi Xia narrowed her beautiful peach-blossom eyes. The moment Fang Yuqing showed any expression of disdain, Chi Xia would absolutely discard that bag without a single shred of hesitation.

Fang Yuqing continued to press close to her. Her eyes had just been washed by tears, appearing beautiful like precious gemstones. “How could I possibly not want it? Please, this is a gift you are giving me, I am too happy for words. I’ve decided, I will definitely revere this gift properly like an offering.”

Amusement brimmed deep within Chi Xia’s eyes as she unhurriedly dug a pit for her. Meanwhile, the pure and simple Fang Yuqing failed to detect the malice coming from Chi Xia. Chi Xia said, “Don’t revere it like an offering. Throw it away if you want to throw it away, it doesn’t matter.”
