Chapter 53: Im Too Useless

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

My car broke down on the highway, and now theres a long line of cars behind it. What should I do? Should I call for roadside rescue first? Or call the police The honking outside the window was incessant, and Jin Nian was getting more and more fl.u.s.tered.

Humans were really strange creatures. Only when one faces sudden accidents then one could be strong. However, once there was someone they trusted by their side, the hard armour on their body seemed to instantly turn into a pile of sc.r.a.p metal. Jin Nian had to admit that when she heard Lu Ans voice, her first reaction was to cry.

She knew that Lu An was here, so he would not leave her alone. If it were anyone else, she might not have done this. For example, her ex-boyfriend.

Jin Nian still remembered that there was a time when the sewer in her house was blocked and flooded downstairs. The people downstairs came looking for her. As a young lady, she did not really know how to deal with it, so she subconsciously called Jiang Qingchi for help.

Jiang Qingchi might have been busy with work when he answered the phone, and his tone was inexplicably irritated. If the sewer is blocked, you should look for the property management. If someone floods the building downstairs, you should pay for it. What else can I do if you look for me?

Qingchi, that person is too fierce. Jin Nian cried. I dont know how much I should pay. I called the property management and they said its not under their control. Can you help me find a maintenance worker? I really dont know what to do.

Jiang Qingchi let out a long sigh. Im so busy. Everyones waiting for me for the meeting.

Im really sorry. I didnt know Jin Nian felt guilty.

Alright, Ive arranged for someone to go over, said Jiang Qingchi helplessly. But Jin Nian, how can you live without me?

At that time, Jin Nian was immersed in love and thought that this sentence was doting.

Thinking of this, Jin Nian quickly stopped crying, afraid that Lu An would find her annoying. On the other end of the phone, Lu An was unusually gentle. Its okay. Dont be afraid. Its fine as long as youre fine. The rest is not a big deal.

Jin Nian sobbed.Tm sorry. Im so useless.

Who said my wife is useless? Wasnt it normal for her to seek help from her husband as soon as an accident happened?

Jin Nian calmed down because of his sloppy tone and retorted, You were the one who contacted me first!

Lu An didnt argue with her. You should turn on the blinkers first.

Alright, then? Jinnian listened obediently.

Take out the warning triangle from the trunk. Put it about 200 meters behind the car.

Jin Nian was not as nervous anymore. She suddenly thought of the knowledge she had read in the book when she was taking the drivers license test. I remember that the book said that it was placed 100 meters away. Isnt 200 meters too far?

Her voice was soft, but she was not arguing with him. Her last syllable was dragged out, sounding a little coquettish.

Its nighttime now, Lu An explained patiently. And its a rainy and foggy day. Therefore, it needed to be placed 200 meters away.

Oh, I got it.

When you get out of the car, look behind you and be careful.

Alright.

Jin Nian put down the warning triangle and hurried back to the car. She did not forget to tell Lu An, It hasnt rained this heavily in years.

Do you have an umbrella in your car?

No, 1 forgot to bring it. Her clothes were soaked and dripping.

Sit in the car and dont go anywhere. Turn on the location sharing function, Ill go and find you.

Jin Nian reacted after some time and said happily, Youre back from Hong Kong?

Yes.

When did you come back?

Today.

Other than waiting for you, is there anything else you need me to do?

No, just sit in the car.

Got it!

Jin Nian looked out of the window. It was already raining heavily outside. The rain fell on the road, raising a cloud of smoke. Her car was s.h.i.+elding her from the wind and rain at this moment. The man on the phone accompanied her and chatted casually. Her originally fl.u.s.tered heart gradually calmed down. She even had the mood to admire the rain outside. She lowered the window a little and reached out to catch the rain to feel the coolness.

After this rain, it was estimated that the temperature would drop. We might have to wear long sleeves when we go out in the future.

Yes.

The two of them were silent for a moment. Jin Nian thought that Lu An had hung up the phone.

However, the phone screen still showed that she was on a call. She called out softly, Lu An?

The mans voice was low. Im here.

Jin Nian said, Why dont you hang up? Im not afraid anymore.

Alright then, Lu An said. Ill be there soon. Jinnian didnt hesitate any more and asked, Lu An, do you remember the time when I ran away from home? The rain that day was as heavy as today..
