The Emergency
Location: Beijing, China
Time: 7:42 AM
The streets of Beijing were as busy as ever. A light rain had left the air cool and refreshing, but the city's relentless pace never slowed.
Inside the Emergency Department of Beijing Central Hospital, every second determined the fine line between life and death.
"Code Blue! Emergency Room Three!"
The announcement echoed through the hospital corridors.
A tall, calm, and strikingly handsome doctor, dressed in a white coat, sprinted down the hallway.
His name was—
Dr. Xie Lan.
At only 29 years old, he was considered one of China's finest trauma surgeons. Around the hospital, everyone called him the "Cold Prince of Emergency." His expression was always composed, and his hands never trembled inside the operating room.
"Patient status?"
he asked while running alongside a nurse.
"Male, twenty-six years old. Road traffic accident. Severe bleeding. Blood pressure is dropping."
"Prepare the operating room. Cross-match blood. Call the anesthesiologist."
"Yes, Doctor Xie!"
Without wasting a second, Xie Lan rushed into the emergency room.
A young man lay on the stretcher, groaning in pain. His face was stained with blood, but there was more determination than fear in his eyes.
Dr. Xie quickly checked his pulse.
"He's losing consciousness."
"Scalpel."
Within minutes, the entire medical team was working under his command.
Outside the hospital...
A young man sat by the window of a nearby café, typing rapidly on his laptop.
His name was—
Gu Yan.
Age: 27
Occupation: Bestselling web novelist.
His novels were famous throughout China, yet very few people knew that, in real life, he was a quiet and lonely man.
He was working on his newest story.
"If someone knew they only had one month left to live... would they finallyconfess the feelings hidden in their heart?"
Gu Yan paused for a moment.
His gaze drifted toward the hospital across the street.
Little did he know...
that his fate was waiting for him inside that very building.
He smiled faintly as he picked up his coffee.
"Maybe today I'll find a new plot..."
At that very moment—
On the opposite side of the road, a speeding truck suddenly lost its brakes.
"Watch out!"
People screamed in panic.
A little girl stood frozen in the middle of the street.
Without thinking twice, Gu Yan ran toward her.
He pushed the little girl to safety...
But in the very next second—
Bang!
Trying to avoid the truck, Gu Yan was thrown violently onto the road.
Blood streamed down from his head.
Chaos erupted all around him.
"Call an ambulance! Hurry!"
Within minutes, an ambulance rushed him to the very same hospital—
Beijing Central Hospital.
The doors of the Emergency Room burst open.
A nurse shouted urgently,
"Doctor Xie! New emergency! Male, twenty-seven years old. Severe head injury after saving a child!"
Without looking up, Dr. Xie said,
"Take him to Trauma Room One."
But the moment he looked up and saw the injured young man's face for the very first time...
For some unknown reason...
His heart skipped a beat.
He had no idea...
That this complete stranger was about to change his life forever.
