d, only the low-pitched sounds of tires and winds were heard.
"The ninth..." He stared at the traffic light that was getting nearer.
The traffic light was red.
Instead of slowing down, Jin Er continued to step on the accelerator like he did on his way to the pharmacy. The scenes, vehicles and pedestrians on the sides of his car were quickly left behind. He only stared at the traffic light in front of him, like a bull staring at the red cloth.
It was the same with the original course. The traffic light turned green in time as soon as he approached, and the traffic lights in charge of making left and right turns became red from green in advance after flashing for three times.
"Whoosh!" The Tesla sedan had crossed the intersection. The spoiler caused rapid airflow, making the fallen leaves on the road dance up in the air, and they had not yet subsided when the taillights of the sedan disappeared in the dark night.
The tenth…
The eleventh…
He had been through 16 green lights consecutively while approaching Zhonghua Road!
The chances of encountering red and green traffic lights were equal, but the probability of running into a succession of 16 green lights was… Jin Er felt that he might have run out of all the good luck of his whole life.
He glanced at the medicine package in the passenger’s seat, and then looked at the traffic sign marked "1km to Zhonghua Road" before him.
He didn’t want to stop, he wanted to continue driving to see until what moment his good luck would last.
As for these medicines, it wouldn’t matter if they were delivered a little bit later, right? It was only a bird that had gotten sick.
He could see the crossroads of the south end of Zhonghua Road now.
Red light.
Jin Er smiled contemptuously, in his eyes, the red lights were no different than the green lights.
Because tonight, he was racing as if heaven was in his favor!
Suddenly, he saw something was wrong.
"What the hell?"
Jin Er’s eyes were wide open, "Why the traffic lights to every direction are red?"
At the crossroads of the south end of Zhonghua Road, the traffic lights in the eastwards, westwards, southwards and northwards directions were all red, scary as if they were dripping blood.
It seemed like that the traffic lights had been in red for a long time, for there were a few cars stopped behind the crosswalks of all four directions, blocking the crossroads. The drivers stretched their heads out from the windows and inquired to each other about the situation. They were as confused as Jin Er—can they run red lights if the traffic lights were not working? If not, would they be stuck there forever? Or should they detour?
Jin Er could only apply the brake, or he would have knocked into the car behind the crosswalk.
The adrenaline in his body was gradually subsiding, and he understood that his good luck of tonight had come to an end.
Just as the speed of his car had slowed down to a normal range, the traffic lights in front of him turned green. The long-awaited drivers seemed to have been given permission, and they started their cars excitedly. The traffic jam, which had been blocking the crossroads for so long, was finally cleared.
While the Tesla sedan was smoothly parking in front of the pet shop, Zhang Zian happened to be walking back to the shop from the other direction, carrying a UV disinfection lamp and an earthenware pot in his hands. He ran into Jin Er who had just opened the car door.
"Why are you here?" said Zhang Zian puzzlingly. He thought that Jin Er was here to see him train cats.
Jin Er didn’t want to explain. Since the passion had subsided, right now he just wanted to go home and get a good sleep, hoping to relive every moment of tonight in his dreams. He put the medicine package on the top of his car, patted to the top to signal Zhang Zian to take them, and then he climbed into the cab of his car.
Seeing that those were the Chinese medicines in small packages as prescribed by Sun Xiaomeng, Zhang Zian grew more confused.
There was no time for him to think more. He greeted Guo Dongyue, and then walked fast towards to the living room on the second floor.
"Did you get them?" asked Sun Xiaomeng bluntly the moment she saw him.
"Pot, lamp, medicines!" Zhang Zian showed her the items, and suddenly he felt a little bit funny, because the pronunciations of those three words in Chinese were similar to "Guo, Dong, Yue", and sure enough, he knew he had been deeply influenced by Richard, who liked playing around with words!
Please get better soon, Richard!
When you get better, I promise together we can tell as many as dirty jokes as you like!
Sun Xiaomeng did not understand why he was smiling, but making sure that everything he brought back was correct, she released a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God you made it. Now it’s time for me to prepare all these. Go get some rest, I will ask you to keep an eye on the fire while decocting the Chinese herbal medicines later."
Zhang Zian thought he was the last person that should take a rest right now, but there was really nothing he could do to help.
He left the living room and went back to his bedroom, only to surprisingly find that Galaxy was playing hide-and-seek with the American Shorthair.
"Hey, Galaxy, where have you been?" he asked. "Why couldn’t I find you before?"
Galaxy stopped chasing, it tilted its head and said, "Meow, Galaxy was playing hide-and-seek! I hid myself just now!"
"Oh," said Zhang Zian with a smile, "Galaxy is getting increasingly better at playing hide and seek!"
