Legendary race car driver x surgeon
Because of her parents' work, Shen Jingyu moved to a poor alley she'd never visited before. Not only was the environment awful, but the houses were so dilapidated they seemed cut off from modern civilization.
Shen Jingyu called her mother dozens of times, but the appearance of one person made her give up on going home.
He was Zhou Chenxuan, a student her mother sponsored.
He rode past her on his bike, and the moment he took off his helmet, he was as wild and carefree as the wind.
Shen Jingyu was timid, but still gathered her courage and tugged at his sleeve. "Can you give me a ride this time?"
"Sure," Zhou Chenxuan readily agreed. "Call me Uncle, and I'll take you for a spin."

Falling for Zhou Chenxuan was unexpected. She naively thought he felt the same way about her.
But when he heard her say it, his expression suddenly darkened, and he left her alone by the roadside.
After he drove away, Shen Jingyu secretly drank five bottles of alcohol by herself. When her senses grew hazy, someone carefully draped a coat over her. Beneath the dim streetlight, he watched her for a long time, ignoring her sleep-talk the whole while.
"There won't be a next time," he said.

After many years apart, Zhou Chenxuan became the renowned race car driver he'd always wanted to be.
In an accident, his arm was badly scraped.
They say you learn from your mistakes, but someone still had no sense of safety whatsoever.
After his wound was bandaged, he was so lost in thought, or perhaps the young intern's technique was so professional, that he didn't even feel the pain.
Looking at the eyes behind her glasses, Zhou Chenxuan found them familiar. "Not bad, young lady. I'll come to you again next time."
Shen Jingyu glanced at him, hooked a finger under her medical mask, and spoke in a soft voice that was cold all the same. "Zhou Chenxuan, there won't be a next time."
