The car rolled over several times on the spot and finally fell to the ground with the roof down.
The policeman escorting Chi Yiheng in the car climbed out in time.
They were still injured, so they immediately went to check on the driver.
But the driver did not have such good luck. He was in front and was the most seriously injured. His cervical spine was broken on the spot and he was not breathing at all.
When the police tried to drag Chi Yiheng out, the car was leaking oil.
Seeing that an explosion was about to occur, the two policemen had no choice but to retreat quickly.
They had only taken a few steps when the car behind them exploded with a bang.
The blast of air also pushed them far away.
In the end, Chi Yiheng died on the way before he could make it to the court.
When Gu Nian got the news, she was stunned for a long time.
She was in a daze, Chi Yiheng was just... died?
Like a meteor, it disappeared without warning.
She still remembered that when she was in the police academy, whenever he had a class, there were always a lot of girls.
Even girls from outside the school will find ways to sneak in.
Although the police academy has strict management, if they really find a way to sneak in, it's not impossible.
After graduation, she met him again. He was still the gentle teacher and expressed his affection for her.
Later, even though he had selfish thoughts, he still helped her and took care of her.
Gu Nian just didn't want to interact with him anymore, but she never wanted him to die.
He was still so young, but his life ended abruptly here.
Gu Nian felt a little sad and sighed in vain. For a moment, she didn't know what to do, so she just stood there in a daze.
The things about Chi Yiheng in the memory turned into pictures and were replayed in the mind.
It was truly a pity from the bottom of her heart that such a living, young life was lost like this.
When Gu Nian was in a daze and couldn't find the energy to do anything, her phone rang.
She picked up her phone and saw a call from Chu Zhaoyang.
Gu Nian immediately picked up, "Zhaoyang."
"Have you heard about Chi Yiheng?" Chu Zhaoyang asked, his low-pitched voice sounding calm.
"Yeah." Gu Nian didn't know what to say and responded weakly.
She didn't say anything for a while, and Chu Zhaoyang didn't rush her, just waited.
It was as if he knew she would feel uncomfortable, so the call came in such a timely manner.
This call was not to confirm with her whether she knew about Chi Yiheng, but to accompany her.
Even when no one was around, he stayed with her from a distance.
After a while, Gu Nian said: "Although I was disgusted by the things he did and tried to avoid meeting him, I never thought about wanting him to die. He died suddenly and at such a young age. I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
"I know." Chu Zhaoyang said.
He wasn't very good at comforting people, but he could understand Gu Nian's mood.
Even though he later turned against Chi Yiheng, in the beginning, the relationship with him was that of teacher, student, and friend.
Chi Yiheng's good memories of the past could not be erased.
However, Gu Nian had no intention of remembering other men in front of his own man.
She was very sorry for Chi Yiheng's death, but not too much.
So, she adjusted her mood again and chatted with Chu Zhaoyang about other things.
***
When he got off work in the evening, Chu Zhaoyang came to pick up Gu Nian.
Except for the first day of kindergarten, when Gu Nian went to pick up Little Millet Cake, later on, Nanny Yu and Mu Lanshu, or sometimes the two elders would go there in person to pick up Little Millet Cake.
Gu Nian got into the car. Chu Zhaoyang turned his head and looked at Gu Nian carefully, which made Gu Nian feel strange.
She just wanted to ask him, what's wrong?
Then she heard Chu Zhaoyang say: "Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment before realizing that Chu Zhaoyang was asking about Chi Yiheng.
She was a little embarrassed, worried that Chu Zhaoyang would feel uncomfortable because of this.
But looking at Chu Zhaoyang's appearance, it didn't look like this.
"When I first heard the news, I was so shocked that I couldn't accept it for a while, but now I've let it go," Gu Nian explained.
Chu Zhaoyang smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed the top of Gu Nian's hair, "That's good."
Then, he started the car.
The car drove for a while, and Gu Nian realized that this was neither a return trip to Lanyuan, nor a return trip to his old home or the Gu family.
Her questions were all written on her face, and Chu Zhaoyang couldn't help laughing every time he saw her writing all the questions on her face so straightforwardly.
Without waiting for Gu Nian to ask, he took the initiative to explain: "We're going somewhere."
"Where are you playing with mysteries?" Gu Nian asked funny, her big eyes full of curiosity.
The daylight hours were short in winter, and it was completely dark outside now.
It was replaced by neon lights on the street. As the car sped past, the lights outside shone on Gu Nian's fair face like a stream of light, making the dark pupils in her eyes shine brighter.
Chu Zhaoyang felt a little hot in his heart, and even his voice was slightly hoarse: "Since you came back, we have never had the chance to date alone."
The time spent with Gu Nian was too short.
Three years ago, they were forced to separate after being together for only a short time.
Three years later, she came back, and there was an extra Little Millet Cake between them.
This could be said to be a sweet burden for Chu Zhaoyang.
His son was very cute, but he always acted as a lightbulb next to them. No matter where they went, this little guy was indispensable, which was a bit not so wonderful.
Chu Zhaoyang had been looking for an opportunity, even if it's just for one day, to be able to leave behind that sweet little burden and live a world of two people with Gu Nian.
