The morning light in March had a mellow glow to it. The wind blew through the meadows grass, indicating that spring was here.


Chen Xinyu's eyes brightened upon seeing Ji Qingying's figure at the entrance and exit of the high-speed railway. Around them, all kinds of travelers could not help but slow down when passing by the two.


The great beauty that was Ji Qingying was very good-looking, and the slight smile on her face made her look even better.


While waiting for the taxi, Chen Xinyu touched her chin and circled around Ji Qingying.


"What's the matter?" Ji Qingying raised her eyes and accepted her scrutiny.


Chen Xinyu reached out and poked her cheek, "Are you in a good mood?" 


"Huh?" Ji Qingying looked at her confused.


Chen Xinyu pulled up the mobile phone call record: "An hour ago you sounded quite helpless, and upon hearing you one would instantly know that you were getting angry. But now look- "


She paused for a while, then with a straight face she posed a compulsive question, "Speak! Is it because you encountered a handsome guy?"


Ji Qingying only smiled without saying anything.


Chen Xinyu was shocked, "Is this really the case? Who is it?"


"


"I met a man on the train." Ji Qingying opened the door of the just arrived taxi. "Let's talk about it once we get in the car."


Chen Xinyu knew her very well.


The two were college classmates and roommates. Although they were separated in two cities and spent little time together, they were still familiar with each other as always.


After fastening her belt, Chen Xinyu listened to the news before Ji Qingying spoke.


"An ambulance arrived because of someone having a sudden illness on the train you rode?"


Ji Qingying nodded: "Exactly, in our compartment too."


Chen Xinyu looked at her with consternation, "Were you scared?"


Ji Qingying frowned and glanced at her. "How old do you think I am? Do you think I will be scared?"


Chen Xinyu's lips moved but she couldn't say out the words in the end and thus refrained from speaking.


Ji Qingying changed the subject, "Did I tell you the other day that I haven't had any inspiration recently and couldn't think of a new design?"


While speaking she took off her mask, revealing her face which could be used in magazines as a model, "Suddenly, I had an inspiration."


Her pair of most eye-catching eyes were filled with joy and expectation.


"I went on a train and met a man. Afterward, my insight seemed to have been aroused."


Chen Xinyu looked at her in amazement: "What do you mean?"


Ji Qingying remained silent for a while, staring out the window looking at the city which was both familiar and unfamiliar. Then, she sighed, "I think I fell in love at first sight."


"......"


Chen Xinyu did not return to her senses for a long time, "To whom?"


"A doctor who saves lives."


Chen Xinyu couldn't believe it, "Do you know that person's name?"


Hearing this, Ji Qingying laughed and said slowly, "I don't know, but I have a feeling that we will see each other again."


Even though she had no evidence, she believed that it was "fate".

After entering their room, the two simply tidied up a bit and then collapsed on the sofa to rest.


"Let's go and have some fun tonight."


"Where to?"


"The bar."


Chen Xinyu said, "This new one is very special."


Ji Qingying did not refuse.


When she was not inspired to draw pictures, she liked to drink. Alcohol could stimulate her thoughts and occasionally make her come up with new ideas.


"Then I'll take a bath and sleep first."


"Alright."


Ji Qingying was not polite to her either. She took out her pajamas and went to the bathroom to wash and rest.


The curtains in the room were tight, leaving no seams.


Ji Qingying lay on the bed wearing a blindfold, half asleep and awake. The scene at the train appeared in her mind.


After getting on the high-speed train, she wore noise-reducing headphones and a blindfold to sleep.


At the beginning, there were no problems. Ji Qingying didn't wake up until the voice in her ear grew louder.


She took off the headset she had on to hear the announcement better. A broadcast looking for a doctor on the train was being played because a passenger in cubicle 1 who had a sudden illness.


There was a lot of noise in her ears. Ji Qingying opened her eyes only to find that the passenger was in front of her on the left.


The passengers in the adjacent seats and in the front row were little girls. They were so anxious that their eyes were red.


Ji Qingying immediately got up and was about to go to help when there was a clear and cold voice behind her. It was even colder than spring mountain spring water.


He said, "Hello, I am a doctor."
