Across Time and Space 164 Please Don't Die

Year 20xx

G City

Xue Yi Ming turned up the radio as he continued to drive along the quiet street. The radio DJ was talking about a solar eclipse that was expected to happen in a few minutes. Since two days ago, almost everyone in G City was excited when the news had reported that the world would be able to see this rare phenomenon.

"An eclipse, huh?" Xue Yi Ming mumbled to himself. He looked up at the sky and chuckled when he could not see anything. The trees were lining on both right and left side of the road, creating a canopy along the street. It would be impossible for him to see an eclipse now.

Moreover, an eclipse only made him uneasy.

Back then, he was still in the army. Xue Yi Ming was alone as he hung around at his favorite spot near the lake when the moon eclipse happened. He had watched the phenomenon in silence as he snuck to sip a few drops of alcohol. But once the eclipse ended, he saw something fell from the sky and into the lake. He thought that he was dreaming. But after a while, he saw that there was a person at the center of the lake, drowning.

Xue Yi Ming finally snapped out of his trance and dived in to save that person.

When he brought the person ashore, Xue Yi Ming was astonished to find that he had rescued a teenage girl. What was weirder was how the girl was dressed. She was dressed in a light-green colored hanfu. Her appearance was as if she had just appeared from a costume drama.

At that time, because he did not want to be caught drinking, Xue Yi Ming had taken the girl to General Lin's place. With the help of the General's wife, the girl was brought in. A doctor was called to check on the girl.

Once the girl finally woke up, the general's wife started to ask the girl a few basic questions about herself. What was her name? Where were her parents? And how did she get around the military compound?

However, after a series of question, the girl remained silent. She could not remember anything about herself.

It was then that they discovered that the girl had lost her memories. They could not find out much about the girl, except that her name was Jiang Mingyue. They could only find out her name after rummaging through her belongings.

A police report was made. But no one stepped forward as the girl's relative. After a year, the police could not find out anything about her. In the end, General Lin and his wife decided to adopt the girl as their daughter. After all, General Lin's family was fond of the girl. Although she had not remembered anything about herself, the girl was quite smart.

She could remember things after they taught her once. Surprisingly, the girl was quite knowledgeable in Eastern Medicine. However, when they asked how did she have such knowledge, Mingyue could not remember anything.

When Xue Yi Ming recalled his first meeting with the girl, he would always have goosebumps. It might sound ridiculous to everyone else, but he was very sure that he had seen her appearing out of nowhere and into the lake.

No one believed his words when he mentioned this to anyone. Everyone thought that he was too drunk and was imagining things.

Xue Yi Ming pressed his feet on the accelerator and picked up his speed. He planned to get back to the highway soon and returned to his office before peak hours.

The sky gradually turned darker as the solar eclipse began.

Xue Yi Ming turned on the light and drove slowly. At this time, the radio suddenly lost its signal. He raised a brow as he looked at the display screen. He changed to the other channel and found that he could not connect to any of the stations.

"What is wrong with this? Is it broken?" Xue Yi Ming raised a hand and smacked the screen. He glanced at the display screen and then, back at the road again.

Suddenly, as he was about to give another smack on the radio, his vision caught a person stood not far away in front of him. In his panic, Xue Yi Ming stepped his feet on the brake.

The car made a loud screech and ended with a bang.

Xue Yi Ming opened his eyes to see that he had crashed into a tree. There was a throbbing pain on his forehead as he had banged his head on the steering. A second later, the airbag popped out, hitting his face once again.

"Shit!" he cursed. Xue Yi Ming frowned as he recalled the last thing he saw before the accident happened.

He couldn't possibly run into a person, right?

Xue Yi Ming exited his car in haste and started to look for the person. His eyes widened as he saw a person lay motionless on the side of the road with blood gushing out of his forehead and a few other places.

"Shit!" He cursed again. Xue Yi Ming placed a finger below the man's nose and sighed in relief when he found that the man was breathing. He quickly went back to his car, picked up his phone, and called an ambulance.

Then he went beside the man and did a quick inspection. There were a few scratches here and there, but his injury around his stomach area looked quite serious. Xue Yi Ming tore off his sleeve and started to press the wounded area on his stop the bleeding.

"Hey," Xue Yi Ming gave a light slap on the man's cheek as he wanted to wake him up. "Hey? Are you alright? Please don't die on me. Hey!"

After a few minutes of his pestering, the man opened his eyes slightly. His lips moved as he mumbled something.

"What? What are you trying to say?" Xue Yi Ming inched his ears closer to the man's lips.
