Chapter 794: Chapter 791
Since the other party ignored him, there was no need for him to say anything else to her and increase the awkwardness.
…
After getting into the car, considering that she would have to come back soon, Cheng Dongyuan simply decided to take a short rest and sleep.
That way, he wouldn’t have to express anything when she returned.
Not long after, the bus was ready to depart, the driver started the engine, and people began to board one after another. Lastly, Cheng Dongyuan felt a familiar presence return.
Sitting next to him.
He still cracked his eyes open to glance over, but unexpectedly, he met her gaze just as she was turning her head to buckle her seat belt.
Their eyes met, the girl gave a brief glance, then continued with her actions, and finally settled in her seat.
Seeing her distant demeanor, Cheng Dongyuan adjusted his sitting position slightly, resettled himself, and turned his body slightly inward.
The bus embarked on its journey once again.
He fell back into a light sleep, but this time his sleep was troubled, with a slight furrow in his brow, a heavy feeling in his heart, filled with anxiety as if he sensed something was about to happen.
They were heading in the direction of Sichuan. It was the rainy season, and aside from the rain, the highway that the tourist bus followed wound along mountainous roads. This region was prone to natural disasters like earthquakes and landslides.
After boarding the bus, the rain started coming down, and it got heavier, accompanied by the occasional rumble of thunder.
It made Cheng Dongyuan’s eyelids twitch.
But he did not wake up and continued to sleep, while the bus cabin remained quiet. Without knowing when, in his sleep, he felt a loud bang, deafening and disorienting him.
Then a wave of dizziness followed, and numerous shrill screams reached his ears.
Countless things and people, as if losing gravity, crashed down haphazardly. Those not buckled up by seat belts even smashed through the windows and were thrown out.
Everything happened too quickly, catching him completely off guard. His head slammed into something hard, the world went dark, and he passed out in a daze.
He had no idea what had just happened, but in the moment of danger, he knew they had been in an accident.
At this very moment, he could not have even dreamed that half of the overturned bus hung off the edge of a cliff along the highway, with a deep forest below.
Next to the bus, there was a boulder about a meter wide, and the top of the bus had been directly smashed into a deep, ragged depression.
A landslide coming down from the inner side of the stone wall slowly encroached their way.
The driver’s leg was pinned, trying to make a call to get emergency help.
Inside the bus, there were painful moans and cries. Among the hazy sounds, Cheng Dongyuan heard a woman’s voice calling him, slapping his face, urging him to wake up.
But his head was so heavy, and breathing became difficult.
Something appeared to be pressing down on his leg, and he couldn’t move at all.
In his blurred thoughts, he felt as if Cheng Dongyuan was about to meet an unfortunate end right here, or perhaps become handicapped.
His face grew paler, his breathing fainter. Cheng Dongyuan could hear someone calling him, trying to help him up, but he truly had no strength left, weak all over, nearly suffocating.
Just when he thought he was about to lose consciousness completely, suddenly, it seemed like someone leaned over him.
His lips felt a gentle pressure.
Artificial respiration began.
