After waiting about half an hour, the taxi they arranged by phone finally appeared at the corner and drove toward them.
Xiao Yebai helped Grandma Zhou place her suitcase in the rear seat of the car. Grandma Zhou got in, joining the suitcase. Gu Nuan waved to the elderly woman through the window.
Grandma Zhou gave them both a gentle smile. Then, the taxi drove away.
Xiao Yebai stood in the middle of the road, waiting for the car to drive off after helping grandma with her suitcase.
In such a short span of time, nobody expected something to happen.
A van, which was slowly following the taxi, suddenly accelerated.
Having just waved to the old woman, Gu Nuan lifted her head and, standing in the middle of the road, noticed the anomaly before anyone else.
She saw the van heading straight for him.
Without thinking, Gu Nuan rushed into the middle of the road and pushed him.
Xiao Yebai, taken aback, stumbled after her sudden shove and fell just outside the centerline.
