A Bright Future Ahead
"Come on, why'd you stop?" Gu Mian grabbed the man and enthusiastically invited him to ride on his motorcycle.
But the man, who had just been lying on the ground, unable to move, suddenly seemed to make a full recovery.
His eyes flew open, and he forced a healthy smile. "Ah! I suddenly feel fine. I'm perfectly healthy! You go on ahead. Don't worry about me!"
The other person Gu Mian hadn't grabbed had already scrambled to his feet and fled the scene at top speed.
