Chapter 55 The Girl on an Electric Scooter
Chapter 55 The Girl on an Electric Scooter
Riding her newly bought electric scooter, Ye Jingyao prepared to head to the bakery where she worked part-time.
Since starting university, she has been doing various part-time jobs.
Bubble tea shops, hot pot restaurants, snack shops, bakeries, tutors...
Among them, tutors have the easiest job and the highest salary.
However, this kind of part-time job requires a certain level of education.
She attended only an ordinary first-tier university, so she didn't get many part-time tutoring jobs.
The rest of the time, she would do other part-time jobs to earn money.
Shen Ruoxuan used to occasionally accompany her to do part-time jobs, so she didn't feel lonely.
But now, her best friend has graduated from university and gone to work, leaving her all alone.
She found this part-time job at the bakery after returning from Jiuzhaigou. She works five hours at noon and earns twenty yuan per hour.
To make it easier to do her part-time job, she specifically bought an electric scooter for transportation.
Once she moves to the graduate student dormitory, it will be more convenient for her to travel around.
She hadn't ridden an electric scooter much before, and even though she wore a helmet, she was still a little scared while riding on the road.
Especially with so many cars and people on the road, and some delivery drivers riding so fast, she was terrified, afraid they would hit her.
Fortunately, she rode slowly and was very vigilant, and the journey was uneventful. She was almost there.
However, her alert eyes were very sharp, and she noticed a black Maybach S480 stopped at the zebra crossing on her left, waiting for the red light.
I felt a strange sense of envy.
She remembered Shen Ruoxuan saying that her boyfriend bought a black Maybach S480, which cost 1.6 million yuan.
1.6 million? How many years would it take her to earn that much working part-time?
Actually, she doesn't pay much attention to things like luxury cars and luxury goods.
But influenced by her best friend Shen Ruoxuan, she knew more or less about it.
She can recognize luxury cars like Maybach that are popular online at a glance.
Because she remembered a famous Maybach quote very clearly—"You can't have a Maybach and inferiority complex at the same time!"
If she had a Maybach, she certainly wouldn't feel inferior, right?
A few days ago, she rode in a Porsche Panamera, and I wonder what it feels like to ride in a Maybach.
Ye Jingyao was focused on the Maybach that was stopped at the red light and did not notice a pedestrian suddenly darting out in front of her.
By the time she realized it, they were already right in front of her.
"Beep beep—"
She was about to apply the brakes when a sudden car horn honked beside her, startling her.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and stopped the electric scooter just before it hit someone.
But the bad thing is...
Although she managed to brake, she lost her balance due to panic, and the whole thing, along with the electric scooter, veered to the right.
"ah--"
With a scream, Ye Jingyao already had a premonition that she was going to fall badly and in a very embarrassing way.
"Bang—"
The electric scooter fell to the ground with a loud thud, landing squarely on her calf, causing her to let out a muffled groan.
"Um--"
I felt inexplicably wronged, yet also somewhat relieved.
I felt bad for falling down, but I was glad I didn't bump into anyone.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.
After calming down, Ye Jingyao felt that her life was miserable and wanted to burst into tears without thinking.
But when she thought of all the pedestrians around her, she finally held back.
Crying out loud won't solve the problem.
But when she tried to struggle to get up, she felt that she couldn't muster any strength in her arms.
Upon closer inspection, the skin on the right elbow had been worn raw at some point.
Even the slightest movement sent a piercing pain through the wound.
Despite the pain, Ye Jingyao forced herself to get up.
She was covered in dust, and she patted it off forcefully a few times.
The pain from the forceful pulling caused by the soft tissue contusion made Ye Jingyao clench her teeth tightly.
Although she was in a lot of pain, she was still alive.
Since we are still alive, life must go on.
But when she saw the extensive paint wear on the side of her newly bought electric scooter, her heart skipped a beat and her nose stung with tears.
With her head tilted back slightly, Ye Jingyao forced back the tears that were about to fall.
It's okay that she fell; she'll be fine after a few days of rest.
But the fact that her newly bought electric scooter was damaged like this was hard for her to accept.
This was a car she had thought about for a long time before finally deciding to buy; it was her first car.
Although it was an inexpensive electric scooter, it held a special meaning for her.
To put it bluntly, if your car is damaged in a crash, you won't get a good price when you try to sell it as a used car.
But fate is cruel; the rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always seems to target the unfortunate.
Just as she was about to push the electric scooter aside, she didn't notice that the scooter was still running.
"Buzz—"
As her right hand unconsciously gripped the accelerator, the electric scooter instantly shot off with her body in tow.
"ah--"
Ye Jingyao's eyes were filled with fear. Lacking driving experience, she wanted to let go but was reluctant to part with the electric scooter.
And so, she could only watch helplessly as the electric scooter carried her and crashed violently into the green belt beside them.
"Bang—"
This time the fall was even worse than before; he was thrown off balance and looked utterly disheveled.
Fortunately, this time the electric scooter didn't run her over; instead, she ended up on top of the scooter.
Although she wasn't crushed, the electric scooter struck her calf and arm hard when it fell over.
At this moment, a strong throbbing pain struck, causing her unbearable pain. She didn't know if any bones had been broken.
This completely shattered Ye Jingyao's seemingly strong inner defenses.
Despite the pain, she didn't care whether it was a non-motorized vehicle lane or whether there were pedestrians around, and just squatted down and started sobbing silently.
Why is even God targeting her?
Do you think her life isn't bitter enough?
At this moment, a passerby stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Little girl, are you alright?"
"Do you need me to call 120?"
Ye Jingyao shook her head, not in the mood to speak.
Calling 120 would cost money, and all she wants now is to be alone and vent her emotions that have already broken her.
Seeing Ye Jingyao shake her head, the man didn't say anything more and chose to leave.
These days, it's not easy to be a good person.
If someone tries to extort money from you, that would be difficult to handle.
At best, it will waste a few hours; at worst, it will cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The black car in front of me was just so annoying.
Taking advantage of driving a Maybach, he showed no consideration for public decency and parked his car in the non-motorized vehicle lane.
Noticing that no electric scooters were coming from behind, Su Jie quickly opened the car door and got out.
He saw the whole process of Ye Jingyao falling down clearly.
Without a doubt, he was a truly unlucky kid!
"Ye Jingyao!"
Are you alright?
Approaching the girl, Su Jie asked with a smile.
Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Ye Jingyao looked up in confusion and discovered that it was her best friend's boyfriend—Su Jie?
My gaze instinctively went to the spot where the black Maybach had just stopped.
The car is gone.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the vehicle was parked in the non-motorized vehicle lane at the bend ahead.
That was his car just now!
"Ye Jingyao, are you alright?"
"I'm calling you!"
Turning her gaze away, Ye Jingyao looked up at the man, a multitude of emotions surging within her.
Feeling wronged, confused, helpless...
He saw everything just now, didn't he?
