My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 593 - 003: First Love-like Feeling_2
Looking at the black Audi stopped in the middle of the road, Lu Xize furrowed his brow once more and thought for a moment before saying, "I need to go over there and take a look. Come with me! I’d feel uneasy leaving you alone by the roadside."
Yun Xi felt a strange sensation in her heart upon hearing his words, but she didn’t say anything. After all, it was a special situation, and she would also feel a bit scared if left alone by the road, so she nodded in agreement.
Lu Xize reversed the grip on her hand, leading her toward the car. The car was severely damaged, the hood had even flipped up, but Lu Xize didn’t care about his own car. He was more concerned about whether this was an accident or if there was some other motive behind it.
As they walked over, Lu Xize never loosened his grip on Yun Xi’s hand. Yun Xi looked at her hand tightly held in his palm and admired his handsome yet serious profile. She felt inexplicably moved, just like that day at the KTV when he protected her, not allowing her to get hurt, and later carried her away in a domineering manner. That kind of stirring feeling was undeniable, even though months had passed, the memory still filled her with excitement and happiness.
When Lu Xize arrived in front of the car, the window was open. As soon as he approached, he could smell the strong stench of alcohol. The driver was lying on the steering wheel in a daze, and he concluded that it was indeed an accident. Unfortunately, they just happened to encounter it by bad luck.
He felt a bit sorry for his car, as today was its first day on the road, and it got wrecked like this. Fortunately, both he and Yun Xi were unharmed, and that was a silver lining.
But the driver seemed in rough shape, with fresh blood visible on his head. Leaving him in the car would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
Lu Xize didn’t even think twice before quickly taking out his phone to call an ambulance and the traffic police department. Once he finished the calls and explained the situation, he prepared to open the car door and get the driver out, since after all, they were in the middle of the road, which was quite dangerous.
"Hey! Brother, are you okay? Can you hear me?" Lu Xize tried to wake the man up, but to no avail. The man seemed to be unconscious, and most of the windshield was inside the car. Lu Xize also attempted to open his car door, but it seemed jammed and wouldn’t open. Meanwhile, the car was leaking oil, and the situation suddenly became tense.
Just as Lu Xize was anxiously thinking of other ways to open the car door, some bystanders and drivers from other cars came down to help after seeing the situation. They started calling out to the driver, and some brought tools to help pry open the door.
"Stay here and don’t move around, remember, don’t run off. Wait for me, okay? I’ll come back for you." Seeing others coming to help, Lu Xize led Yun Xi to the roadside, holding her shoulders, and earnestly and solemnly instructed her.
After saying that, Lu Xize let go of her and turned to go back to help. But as he turned, Yun Xi almost instinctively grabbed his coat edge and nervously asked, "Where are you going?"
"I’m going to help. That guy’s situation seems really bad, you saw it too, the car’s leaking oil and could explode at any moment. Ultimately, you’re safer here. Understand? Don’t wander off, just wait here for me, okay?"
"But... you... I..." Yun Xi, always one to be stubborn yet soft-hearted, wanted to say something but was too proud to express it, yet her worried expression and eyes full of unease betrayed everything.
Lu Xize, of course, noticed this and couldn’t help but smile. He reached out and lightly tapped her forehead, "Don’t worry about me, I’ll be back. After all, you’re still waiting for me here, right? I won’t leave you waiting foolishly by yourself."
Yun Xi lightly bit her lip, feeling there was another meaning in his seemingly ordinary words. Her heart felt a little anxious and uneasy, yet also tinged with slight sweetness. This feeling, she didn’t know how to describe it; it was very subtle yet nerve-wracking, causing fear and unease.
But even with such complicated emotions, she slowly let go of his coat with her small hand and didn’t say much more, just stubbornly looked at him with those eyes.
Lu Xize smiled again, reaching out to touch her forehead once more, his smile and gaze filled with warmth and affection, as if he were dealing with his beloved.
Watching his back as he rejoined the rescue, Yun Xi’s gaze remained on him from start to finish, never leaving as if at this very moment she felt a sense of admiration and reverence for him.
From a young age to now, she had never felt this way about anyone, not even her brother Yun Qi.
From feeling irritation at meeting Lu Xize to now feeling affection, this process was complex and quite strange, but sometimes feelings just evolve in a muddle-headed way. Liking someone might stem from a single sentence, a smile, or even a glance that can make you fall completely.
Yun Xi never believed in the fairytale concept of ’love growing over time,’ thinking such unrealistic notions belonged only in idol dramas and romance novels. But now, her relationship with Lu Xize felt somewhat like that situation. It was quite subtle, with a touch of sweetness, some bitterness, and a bit of anxiety, like the feeling of a first love.
