Chapter 21 Sudden accident

When the two of them reached an intersection near a residential area, Amamiya Iori suddenly stopped.

"……what?"

There was a hint of doubt in her voice.

Qing Shuijian looked in the direction she pointed, and suddenly felt an inexplicable tension in his heart.

"What's the matter!"

The sight before him made him exclaim in surprise.

The two were standing on the sidewalk at the moment, and the surrounding roads were extremely busy with traffic.

In this background, a little girl stands out. She stands at one end of the pedestrian crossing and waves to the people on the other side, probably greeting her friends.

This should be a common scene in daily life, but Shimizu couldn't take his eyes off her.

An ominous premonition arose in my heart, and it soon turned into a cruel reality.

"Hey!"

"Danger!"

Almost at the same time, Shimizu Mi and Amamiya Iori both shouted.

The traffic light on the sidewalk was still red, but the little girl started walking across the street.

Why are there people like this everywhere?
Qing Shuijian cursed in his heart.

The moment he saw this scene, his body reacted before his brain could figure out what to do.

When Shimizu saw Amamiya Iori left behind, he immediately rushed over.

"Ah, wait, Shimizu-kun!"

Amemiya Iori's shouts rang out behind him, but Shimizu Ken had no time to pay attention.

The pedestrians around gradually realized the impending danger, but it was too late. A large truck was speeding towards the little girl.

A shrill horn sounded and the little girl stopped in shock, but she could not avoid the impending danger.

"Tsk! Damn it!"

At this time, Qingshuijian tried desperately to save the little girl.

He didn't care about his own safety, and didn't even have time to think about it. He tried his best to rush to her side and hugged her petite body.

At that moment, Qingshuijian could only hear the sound of car horns and sudden brakes. Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel the noise and commotion around him.

"Are you okay?"

The driver hurriedly got out of the car and shouted.

Shimizu thought the driver would be furious, but he seemed like a very friendly guy, and he seemed to understand the situation, and he genuinely cared if there were any injuries, and he was relieved.

Although the scene was chaotic for a while, no major incidents occurred because everyone was safe. The crowd soon dispersed. "Be careful next time."

"Um, um...thank you, big brother!"

The little girl nodded obediently, still seeming a little frightened.

"See you!"

Qing Shuijian smiled bitterly. If her parents were nearby, they would definitely scold this naughty child for walking without looking at the road.

"Anyway, I'm fine."

Shimizumi walked back to Amemiya Iori with peace of mind.

However, it was only at this moment that he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

“…Amamiya?”

"Shimizu-kun! You're okay? Right?! You're not hurt...right?!"

Amemiya Iori suddenly rushed up anxiously, hugged Shimizu tightly, and big tears kept falling.

Indeed, in that situation, any slight mistake would be dangerous. Shimizu felt sorry for making her worry, but at the same time he also found that Amamiya Iori seemed to be in a state that was not right.

"Still alive... You're still alive. I thought you were leaving again... Never... Never let that happen again... Shimizu-kun... Shimizu-kun, Shimizu-kun, Shimizu-kun!"

Amemiya Iori hugged Shimizu Miki, buried her face in his chest, and continued to mutter to herself, her voice sounding like she was suppressing pain.

"..."

Amemiya Iori was still holding Shimizu Mi without saying a word. He couldn't see the expression on her face as she lowered her head.

It was not until the traffic light changed seven or eight times that Amamiya Iori finally spoke.

"I'm sorry for crying like that all of a sudden."

She raised her head, the area around her eyes was red and swollen, and her eyes were obviously congested. Shimizu saw clearly that he had made this girl so sad.

"No, it's okay. It's because I made you worry..."

Of course, Qing Shuijian didn't think it was wrong to save the little girl.

He also knew that it was he who caused Amamiya Iori to become like this, and the worst thing was that he didn't think about anything at that time.

If the car hadn't stopped, he might have let Amamiya Iori see the worst scene. More importantly, it might have made his mother, who had always been worried about him, extremely sad.

Then, Shimizu began to smile bitterly and laugh at himself. He knew very well that this was just a virtual game world, but he was actually worried about these characters.

In short, the two of them couldn't stay in this place forever, so Shimizu Mi put his hand on Amemiya Iori's shoulder, letting her separate from him temporarily, and then started walking.

In order to calm Amamiya Iori down, Shimizu decided to go home first, because her condition was too strange...
