This reprimanding tone, coupled with his fierce and impatient expression, stunned me for more than ten seconds before I subconsciously snatched the phone away from him. "Give it to me."
"Sit still!" Gao Kan raised his hand and threw the phone to the back of the seat, or even further back, there was a dull thud.
When I landed on the mat, it felt as uncomfortable as if my heart was being smashed.
I endured it and asked him in a low voice, "Gao Kan, don't be so unreasonable, how did I offend you?"
Gao Kan did not utter a word. As if he was extremely tired, he slowed down his car, moved his head back and forth, and said word by word: "I have not slept for over thirty hours, and am now tired to drive. Can you let me be quiet? Look at how many people and cars there are outside. I don't want to get into a car accident. "
There were indeed a lot of people outside the car.
Because today was a holiday, the Mid-Autumn Festival was the day after tomorrow, so many people had returned to their hometowns. The already small city was crowded to the point where not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Our car, drifting in the sea, moves every ten seconds or so.
He was indeed tired, with sunken circles under his eyes and a tired expression.
I didn't want to argue with him any longer, so I said, "I'm going to get my cell phone. There's going to be a landing point in front of us soon, so stop and I'll take a taxi back to school. I suddenly remember that I have a topic to attend to, and I know you have a lot of work to do, so I won't be unhappy with you, okay?"
"I'm not unhappy. Also, leave everything behind."
"But I'm unhappy."
"Is that so?" Gao Kan turned his head to look at me, and casually gave me a perfunctory look, smiling as he said: "When we reach the hotel, I'll let you have your fill."
Normally, I would have been happy to have him say something flirtatious like that, but today, in this atmosphere, I felt as if he were mocking me.
"Gao Kan, I'm really busy, and that's why I said I had nothing to do during the holidays. Actually, I have a lot of things to do, and I might not have the time to accompany you everyday." I unbuckled my seat belt, and my voice grew cold. "I'm getting out of the car."
"Sit down!"
It was his nature to throw a tantrum for no reason other than to do things his own way. From the moment he entered the apartment, he had been holding it in, and I had been holding it in. At this moment, I suddenly felt like a deflated balloon, extremely exhausted.
I won't be considerate, not as good as others. You should go back and rest early, don't delay your work for me, it's not worth it.
This sentence was extremely childish, yet it carried grievances and grievances, and was something that I wanted to be coaxed by those gentle and soft words. It spun a few rounds in my throat, and after looking at Gao Kan's expression that seemed to reject others from a thousand miles away, I finally did not say anything.
After a few minutes of silence, the car arrived at a traffic light and was stopped outside the zebra crossing. The red light lasted for about two minutes, and I found the right time to open the door and jump out.
Without looking back, he rushed to the side of the road.
"You don't have eyes, where are you going to hit!"
From above, a man's voice swears, and I realize that I am walking with my head down and that I am running into someone.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I apologized.
However, that man continued to push me, "You just say you're sorry? Look at how you knocked my dad to the ground. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Didn't you see that? "
Ah?
I looked in the direction of his finger and sure enough, there was an old man lying on the ground in front of me. He was holding his leg with a pained expression on his face, moaning in pain.
Did I have the strength to hit him?
I didn't want anything to get out of the way, so I walked over, supported the old man who was lying on the ground, and kindly apologized to him, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't hit you on purpose, how do you feel?"
"Aiyaya, my heart hurts. How can a little girl like you walk like this? It's like you lost your soul and you directly hit me. I'm in so much pain, I can't get up!" The old man grumbled and tugged at my sleeve, refusing to let go.
I snatched my wrist back. "Let go! "Where are you unwell, I'll send you to the hospital."
However, the old man took the opportunity to lie back down on the ground and shout, "It's one thing for you to hit him, but you still dare to hit him. Little girl, how can you be like this!"
When he shouted this, I finally understood that he must have met someone who was so rude that he wanted to extort money from him. I wanted to make up a small case and give him some money, but when I felt in my pants pocket, I realized that I had forgotten to take my bag when I was in such a hurry to get out of the car.
He didn't have a single cent on him.
"Why did you hit my dad?" The fierce-looking man was originally staring at me, but when he saw that I didn't take out the money, he immediately started to curse, "Heh, so you said just now that was pretty awesome. You want to send us to the hospital for treatment, I think you want to run away? "Let me tell you, if you don't give me the money today, don't even think about leaving!"
As he spoke, he raised his voice to the crowd and said, "Take a look at the photos on your cell phones. Are all these young ladies nowadays so lacking in manners?" You want to run after bumping into someone, and yet you want to hit them!? "
Ignoring his pestering, I raised my voice and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, "You can't say that. I was just in a hurry to get out of the door and forgot to bring some money. If you think I hit your father on the floor, then please call an ambulance. We'll immediately go to the hospital to check. He's sick, I'll give you money to treat him. If not, I'll buy nutrition to supplement his health."
The man didn't listen to what I said and just shouted, "We are in a hurry to catch the train, how can we have the time to go to the hospital? Let me tell you, I have a patient at home who is delaying his return. You can't even afford 1 million!"
Amongst the crowd, someone said, "Yo, this is obviously a pengci?"
"That's right, look at that little girl. She's easy to bully by herself."
"Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and leave, don't block the way here."
Seven or eight discussions sounded out, and the surrounding spectators slowly dispersed.
"There's a security camera here. You hit my father and he fell down and couldn't get up. That's the truth. I tell you, you have to lose money no matter where you go!"
Originally, I was already extremely annoyed. After being disturbed by him like this, I felt even more frustrated. I ignored my image and loudly shouted towards him, "Then call the police!"
"Call the police? If you call the police, then call the police. Don't think that I don't dare to. The man gripped my wrist tightly and, with his other hand, took out his cell phone and pretended to make a phone call. But after a few seconds, he asked me, "I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to lose money or call the police?"
Seeing his guilty conscience, I sternly said, "Call the police! This is the best solution!"
The old man who was lying on the ground, upon seeing the situation turn out this way, quickly got up. Breathing heavily, he said, "Little girl, are you a foreigner? You see, this son of mine has a bad temper, is unreasonable, and loves to beat people up. You should compensate him a little bit of money, and if he lets you go, then there will be no benefit in making a ruckus with him. "
"I can compensate you for the money, but only if we go to the hospital together and do an appraisal together. I think you're old …"
I was trying to communicate with the old man when a hand grabbed my arm, which was being held by the middle-aged man. Then I heard a loud cry of pain, and the hand that was clutching my wrist loosened, and then a loud, violent sound, "Where the hell are you going?"
