"Brother, are you alright?"

A middle-aged man in a suit got out of an SUV and rushed to Xu Nian's side in a panic.

"What happened over there?"

"It looks like there was a car accident."

"Sigh, there are car accidents at that corner every few days. We're used to it. Cars turning right can't even see the cars in the electric vehicle lane, and the relevant departments don't seem to care."

So I was in a car accident.

Xu Nian used her hands to support herself on the ground and struggled to stand up.

A large patch of skin on his calf was scraped, and traces of blood seeped out from the wound.

Fortunately, apart from scrapes from the fall, there were no other injuries.

Xu Nian broke free from the middle-aged man's support and limped towards the overturned electric scooter, opening the insulated box.

Thankfully, the meal wasn't damaged.

He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and picked up the electric scooter.

"I'm fine, you can go now."

After leaving those words, Xu Nian rode off on her electric scooter, leaving the middle-aged man standing there dumbfounded.

...

Ouch...it hurts...

A cool breeze blew on the wound on my calf, and the pain came like a tidal wave.

He could feel the blood sliding down his calf and dripping into his worn-out cloth shoes.

Stimulated by the pain, Xu Nian was wide awake and her attention became incredibly focused.

We've finally arrived at our destination, the residential area.

Xu Nian parked her car downstairs in an apartment building and limped toward the elevator.

Behind him, blood dripped onto the ground.

"The takeout has arrived."

Xu Nian knocked on the door of an apartment on the fifth floor.

The sound of slippers approached from afar.

After a while, the door opened.

A faint scent of violet perfume wafted over.

The person who opened the door was a woman with purple hair. She paused for a moment when she saw Xu Nian, and then let out a soft laugh.

"It's you."

Xu Nian frowned; he didn't seem to recognize the purple-haired woman.

However, the faint scent of violet perfume seems somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've smelled it somewhere before.

Suddenly, Xu Nian's pupils dilated sharply.

This is the purple-haired woman he met on the rooftop of a KTV after he lost his job at the logistics park.

His intuition told him that this woman was dangerous.

Enjoy your meal, goodbye.

Just as he turned to leave, the purple-haired woman grabbed his arm from behind.

She spoke with a light laugh.

"Sir, you are so heartless. You clearly remember her, yet you pretend not to know her and leave."

Xu Nian shook off her hand.

"Let me go, we've never met before."

"But your eyes have already betrayed you."

The purple-haired woman looked Xu Nian up and down with a smile.

"Your pupils are dilated and your eyelids are constricted; psychologically speaking, this is a sign of tension."

"Is there something you need? If not, I'm leaving."

Xu Nian said impatiently.

Standing next to this purple-haired woman, he felt a strange pressure.

It was as if she could see through every secret about him, and all his thoughts were exposed to the air.

"Sir, you're really impatient; you haven't changed a single day since a year ago."

The purple-haired woman crossed her arms and looked down at his still bleeding calf.

"Come in and have a seat. You're injured; let me bandage you up."

"No need, I can handle it myself."

Xu Nian looked at the wound on his calf and moved it slightly. The damaged nerve cells were pulled, and the pain made him gasp.

The purple-haired woman leaned against the doorframe and smiled softly.

"You fell on the asphalt road, and your wound came into contact with road dust and a lot of bacteria. If it is not treated in time, the wound will be exposed and cause a large-scale infection."

"Now you'd think of finding a clinic nearby to get it treated."

"Unfortunately, at this time, all the nearby clinics are closed, and the nearest hospital is a 20-minute drive away."

"Judging from the time you arrived here, if you went to the hospital, at least half an hour must have passed since you were injured. There's a possibility that bacteria have spread and the wound has become inflamed..."

The purple-haired woman's words sent chills down Xu Nian's spine.

It wasn't just because of the serious consequences she mentioned, but also because she accurately guessed Xu Nian's every thought going forward.

He sighed and agreed to have his wound treated there.

Based on the current situation, she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me.

Xu Nian walked in and sat down on the sofa, led by the purple-haired woman.

He looked around, surveying the room.

It seemed like they had just moved in recently; the lockers and tables were empty, and the floor was piled high with unopened packing boxes and luggage.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Xu Nian."

The purple-haired woman found a first-aid kit among a pile of luggage and walked up to Xu Nian.

How do you know my name?

Xu Nian's brows furrowed suddenly, and she unconsciously moved away from her.

The purple-haired woman smiled gently, opened the message bar of the food delivery platform, and handed it to Xu Nian.

The message above reads: Rider Xu Nian is delivering your food.

Xu Nian was speechless; he had forgotten that the food delivery platform would display the rider's name.

The purple-haired woman put away her phone, squatted down, and used tweezers to hold an alcohol swab to wipe Xu Nian's wound.

"hiss..."

Xu Nian's lips twitched, revealing a pained expression.

He watched as the alcohol swabs wiped away tiny pieces of stone from his wound, and a chill ran down his spine.

No wonder it hurt so much; the pebbles on the ground had scraped into my calf.

"That was such an accident."

The purple-haired woman used medical bandages to tightly wrap the wound on Xu Nian's calf.

"It must hurt a lot to have such a big scratch."

Xu Nian glanced at the bandage on her calf, stood up, thanked the purple-haired woman, and prepared to leave.

"Leave now, the platelets haven't clotted yet, and it will continue to bleed."

The purple-haired woman sat on the sofa, smiling as she watched Xu Nian, who was trying her best to hide her nervousness.

"If you're not in a hurry, sit here for a while."

Xu Nian frowned as he looked at the bright red stain on the bandage from the strain on his calf.

The purple-haired woman brought over a glass of warm water and placed it on the coffee table in front of Xu Nian.

Xu Nian thanked him and accepted the drink, but only took a small sip and did not drink it.

I wonder if anything has been mixed into this glass of water.

"Xu Nian, when we parted last time, I still had so much to say, but it's a pity we never met again."

"Mr. Xu, would you be so kind as to chat with me for a while, considering that Xiaoman helped bandage your wound?"

The purple-haired woman tossed her hair, her gaze falling on Xu Nian's wrinkled face and her innocent-looking eyes.

"For example, your background."

Xu Nian remained silent, staring blankly at the clock on the wall.

He didn't quite understand why this woman was so curious about him.

The two had only met once.

However, he didn't want anyone to know about his background.

Especially this dangerous woman.

So he remained silent, quietly waiting for his wounds to heal.

The purple-haired woman smiled, walked behind the sofa, squatted down, and gazed at Xu Nian's profile with a smile.

"It seems Mr. Xu is quite wary of me."

"Well then, since you won't tell me, let me, Zhou Xiaoman, guess."
