Zhong Wanwan and I didn't have much to say, she kept clinging to Lu Huai all the way, talking about the silly things Lu Huai did when he was pursuing her.

Occasionally, she would ask me with a boastful tone, "Isn't Lu Huai silly?"

"Xiaoxiao, do you think Lu Huai and I are a good match?"

I closed my eyes and let her voice resonate in the enclosed compartment.

Occasionally, I would respond with a "Hmm".

Seeing that I didn't react much, she stopped talking to me.

Instead, Lu Huai's face became a bit gloomy.

Suddenly, Zhong Wanwan's voice became particularly sharp.

"Lu Huai, why are you still wearing this watch? Do you think the one I gave you is not good enough?"

Hearing these words, I opened my eyes and looked at Lu Huai's wrist.

He was still wearing the quartz watch I gave him, which I bought with two summers' worth of part-time work. It wasn't worth much to him, but he had been wearing it all along.

He told me that he really liked this watch and that sincerity was more important than money.

But upon hearing Zhong Wanwan's words, he hurriedly pulled down his sleeve to cover the watch.

"I'll change it when we get back to school."

However, Zhong Wanwan persisted and stared at the watch.

"I've told you several times, but you haven't changed it. Why do you care so much about this watch?"

"Lu Huai, are you someone who enjoys receiving watches as gifts?"

Hearing these words, I sneered inwardly.

Enjoy?

How could that be possible?

But a blank expression flashed across Lu Huai's face, and he murmured, "Enjoy?"

It seemed that he himself hadn't realized the confusion on his own face.

And in that moment, a truck suddenly approached from the front.

The horn blared sharply, and Lu Huai reacted, gripping the steering wheel tightly to avoid it, but the road wasn't wide enough, and the car collided with the side guardrail.

A flash of white light passed before my eyes.

I struggled to open my eyes and call for help, but I saw Lu Huai struggling to pull Zhong Wanwan out of the passenger seat, and Zhong Wanwan cried as she threw herself into his arms.

Meanwhile, my right ear continued to buzz, and eventually, it seemed to lose consciousness.
