It was already evening when the movie ended.

The movie wasn't very interesting, and by the second half, Lu Yinong was already dozing off.

When I woke her up, most of the people in the theater had already left, leaving only a few scattered individuals waiting for the post-credits scene.

She coughed and said, "It's your child who wants to sleep, not me."

I chuckled softly and said, "Yeah, it's all because of the baby."

I slowly helped her up and we walked out leisurely, ready to buy her favorite sugar-coated chestnuts.

The New Street intersection was bustling. We passed an old lady with white hair wearing a cheongsam, who was spirited and had a unique temperament.

I pulled Lu Yinong's sleeve and gestured for her to look, saying, "You'll dress like this when you're old too."

Before she could speak, I had already imagined that scene and pretended to be sentimental, saying, "Oh, my spouse looks so good. I'm really afraid other old men will try to steal her away from me."

She laughed and was about to say something when suddenly a commotion interrupted us.

A child was hanging on the window of a building, tightly gripping the window frame and about to fall.

She turned her head to look.

In the next second, she rushed forward—

At the same moment, the child completely lost strength and fell fiercely from the connection point of the window frame.

I followed closely behind her, rushing forward.

My arm brushed against the brim of her hat, and I preemptively caught the child.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, I caught him.

The crying child had already been taken by someone else, and Lu Yinong supported her waist and picked up her hat from the ground.

My arm was in excruciating pain, but I ignored it in an instant and hurriedly picked up the hat and put it on her head before teasing her, "Mrs. Lu, even now, you dress so beautifully. I'm really afraid other old men will try to compete with me."

She didn't pay attention to my joke. She held onto my arm tightly, furrowing her brow and asking, "How are you? Where are you injured? Is it serious?"

I comforted her, saying, "It's okay, there was some cushioning in the middle, so it didn't hurt much. We just need to go to the hospital for a check-up."

She looked up at me, and tears shimmered in her eyes. "How can it be okay? Do you think I never studied physics?"

My heart turned soft, and I quickly tried to appease her.

Some people around us were filming with their phones, muttering, "Wow, at the New Street intersection, this child fell down all of a sudden. Parents really need to be careful..."

I quickly covered Lu Yinong's face and shouted, "Stop filming! Stop filming, everyone!"

Lu Yinong also realized what was happening and lowered her hat, patting my hand on her back to comfort me. "It's alright, let's go."

We didn't wait for an ambulance. We hurriedly left the scene and walked to the emergency room.

Along the way, I felt somewhat uneasy.

Lu Yinong was having her fetus checked by the doctor, but she also diverted her attention to comfort me, saying, "It's alright, Zhou. We were far apart, and I was wearing a hat. The chances of seeing my face clearly were very low. Don't worry, okay?"
