Because she was preoccupied with the time she had agreed to meet with the professor, she didn’t realize she had almost missed it. So, upon leaving the mall, He Zhilan was running all the way to the café they had agreed on.

However, unexpectedly, because she was in such a hurry, she almost got hit by a car when crossing the street.

Leader Gu and Lady Gu were sitting inside the car, which was being driven by Leader Gu’s soldier. Upon seeing it seemed like they had hit someone, the young soldier, sweating with worry, said, "Leader, Lady, I didn’t see where this person suddenly came from."

"Go and see if the person was injured." Because of his line of sight, Gu Hengyuan couldn’t see the person squatting on the ground ahead, so he had no choice but to open the car door and get out himself.

"Are you alright? Where did you get hit? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Seeing that the person they hit was dressed in a way that clearly did not suggest they were from a poor family, Gu Hengyuan was not worried about encountering a scam, thus he expressed his concern without any hesitation.

"It’s nothing—didn’t get hit, it was also my own carelessness, rushing and not paying attention to the road properly.

" He Zhilan dusted her hands, though her palms and knees had scraped some skin and were bleeding slightly. She wasn’t the type to make a fuss over this, later she would just rinse with some water and apply some medicine and it would be fine.

After speaking, He Zhilan finally looked up to see the person who had bumped into her and smiled at him. Seeing that he was a soldier, she felt a sense of closeness, "Did I scare you? I’m really fine. My husband is also a soldier, so rest assured, I’m not that frail."

While speaking, He Zhilan stood up, brushed off the dust from her clothes, and then bent down to pick up her things.

Lady Gu in the car got a shock upon seeing the person standing up and also got out of the car.

"You..."

Lady Gu had just begun to speak when she was silenced by a look from her husband. She was puzzled, but Gu Hengyuan’s eyes harbored even more confusion than hers.

"You don’t recognize us?" Gu Hengyuan asked in genuine shock.

He Zhilan shook her head, taking the other party’s question seriously, she tried recalling, but after a moment, she still couldn’t remember ever meeting the two people in front of her, thus she shook her head again, "From the way you speak, you know me?"

"This..." Lady Gu was flabbergasted.

"I see you’re also a soldier, perhaps, do you know my husband?

But you probably aren’t from the same unit as my husband, right?

Because if you were in the same unit, I would definitely remember you!

Looking at this license plate, you are from the capital, right?

Then I really don’t know you." He Zhilan apologized with a smile, "Maybe my memory isn’t good. We might have met and then I forgot."

"It’s okay." Gu Hengyuan suppressed his shock and confusion, then said, "We should take you to the hospital first? I see your palms and knees are bleeding."

"No need, no need! It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious!

I still have an appointment at the café, so I was in a hurry and didn’t watch the road properly.

You mustn’t tell my husband, otherwise, when I go back, he will definitely scold me for having a pig’s brain.

This small injury, I can handle it myself.

Seeing how you’re dressed, you must have your own matters to attend to, so please go ahead, don’t waste time! "

After speaking, He Zhilan flashed a sweet smile at the two, took her things, and waved to them as she walked away. Perhaps because she pulled her wound while walking, she twitched the corner of her mouth slightly as she turned around, showing that it really hurt.
