After that, neither of them spoke again.
There was zero communication right up until Xu Shengxia left.
...
Xu Shengxia had originally thought their meeting was a one-time thing, but unexpectedly, they met again the very next day.
And under terrible circumstances, no less...
That day, Xu Shengxia was dressed in an all-black set of climbing gear. She was driving a rented black SUV, preparing to go rock climbing at the famous Little Fanjing Mountain in the next city.
However, while she was on the highway, a truck and a private car collided up ahead.
Xu Shengxia's car was right behind them. She slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a pile-up.
Normally, a crash like this would only block one lane. Xu Shengxia could have just turned her wheel and changed lanes.
But before she could even signal to switch lanes, some of the steel frames on the truck came loose, tumbling out with a loud CLANG.
