"It's too late! It's too late…make way…make way…"
On the small road of Jian An City's morning market, Su Lin ran wildly, shuttling through the crowded crowd. It was already 7:50 pm, and there were only ten minutes left before class.
"If I knew there were so many aunties in the market, I wouldn't have taken the shortcut…"
The crowded crowd was filled with the noise of all kinds of bargaining. At this moment, Su Lin was extremely depressed. He shouted for them to pass while trying his best to squeeze out of the market.
"We're done for! Yesterday, the homeroom teacher, Teacher Lin, warned me that if I'm late again this week, I'll have to call my parents. But what happened today? I actually overslept again. No…no…Teacher Lin seems to be on duty at the school gate today. If she catches me late at the school gate, then…"
He had already been late twice this week. Su Lin didn't want to be late either. The weather in May was so suitable for him to doze off, especially for someone as heartless as Su Lin who slept like a pig.
"Forget it. There's still ten minutes. As long as we pass this market, turn a corner, and pass through a small path, we'll be able to see the gate of Jian An First Middle School. If he ran faster, he should be able to make it before the bell rang. As long as I enter the school after the bell rings, I believe Teacher Lin won't be able to say anything about me…"
Looking at the cheap electronic watch in his hand that cost more than ten yuan, Su Lin quickly calculated in his heart.
Finally, after a long three minutes, Su Lin finally made a bloody path through the aunties.
"There are still six to seven minutes left. Run faster, we will definitely make it!”
Looking at his watch, Su Lin let out a sigh of relief. He was about to run all the way to school when he realized that there was a group of people surrounding the entrance of the market. They were chattering and watching something interesting.
"So many people? What happened? Could it be a car accident? No, this market doesn't allow cars to drive…"
Out of curiosity, it was common for people in China to watch the show. Anyway, it wouldn't take much time to take a look. Su Lin squeezed into the crowd and stuck his head out to take a look.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a white-haired old lady was lying on the ground, clutching her chest and groaning in pain. It seemed that she was ill. These onlookers were chattering about sending the old lady to the hospital, but there were many people who said so, but no one really wanted to help the old lady.
"Aiya…The old lady is sick. Hurry up and send her to the hospital…Why aren't you young and strong guys moving?”
"I want to too! But what if he was blackmailed when he reached the hospital?”
" Quickly think of something…The old man is dying…"
"Then quickly call the ambulance.”
" Someone has already called the ambulance. It's on the way, but even if it comes, I'm afraid it won't be able to drive into this market…"
……
Hearing their words, Su Lin understood. They were afraid that they would be blackmailed after sending the old lady to the hospital. Such incidents were often reported on television, so people nowadays didn't dare to be good people.
"Grandma…"
Looking at the old lady struggling on the ground, Su Lin's heart ached. He thought of his old grandmother and immediately made up his mind. Without thinking too much, he immediately broke free from the crowd and rushed forward. He picked up the old lady and ran towards the main road in the direction of the market exit. As long as he left the market, he could take a taxi to the city hospital.
"Young man, good job."
"Isn't this young man afraid of being blackmailed?”
"It's a thankless task, sigh…"
……
Su Lin couldn't care less about what others said. The only thought in his mind was that he had to save this old lady, no matter what society was like, no matter if he would be blackmailed later. He couldn't let his conscience be blinded because of this.
"Grandma, hang in there. I'll send you to the hospital right away.”
After such a long delay, Su Lin knew that every minute and every second was crucial to the old lady. His legs were already running, and the only thought in his heart was to send the old lady to the hospital as soon as possible.
"Faster…faster…faster…"
Su Lin was a little over 1.7 meters tall and was slightly skinny. He was already panting after carrying the old lady for such a long distance, but he still persisted. Su Lin had already heard the sound of the ambulance. As long as they passed this bend, they would be able to see the road.
"Young man…thank you…"
The old lady, who was tortured by her illness, opened her eyes with difficulty. She looked at Su Lin, who was drenched in sweat, and said gratefully.
"Grandma, don't talk anymore. Hold on. The ambulance is here. It's at the intersection in front. You can reach the hospital soon.”
Phew...
With the last of his strength, Su Lin finally ran out of the alley. The ambulance had already stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the medical staff were setting up a stretcher to save him.
" Quick…Doctor…Save…Grandma…"
Su Lin carefully placed the old lady on the ambulance. He was panting and could not speak properly.
"Young man, it's a good thing you sent it in time. Don't worry! Leave the rest to us…"
The doctor who came with the ambulance briefly examined the old lady. He didn't say much to Su Lin and immediately got into the ambulance. He drove to the hospital while performing emergency treatment on the way.
Su Lin heaved a sigh of relief as the ambulance sped away. He looked at his watch and immediately remembered that he still had to rush to school. It was already 7:57 p. m., and there were only three minutes left before the bell rang.
"We're done for! There's no time…"
" Su Lin!" the anxious Su Lin shouted. However, he did not know that at this moment, in the void, a god that controlled time had coincidentally seen Su Lin saving people through the endless spacetime. Hearing Su Lin's muttering, the Time God waved his Time Staff. Immediately, a green stream of air crossed countless space-time and entered Su Lin's body.
"Since you don't have time, I'll give you time.”
As the green stream of air entered Su Lin's body, Su Lin's entire body trembled and he almost staggered and fell to the ground.
"What happened? Why do I suddenly feel so cold…"
After stopping for a while, the cold feeling disappeared again. Su Lin once again ran toward the school. Although he had just saved the old lady, he had wasted some time. Fortunately, they were heading in the same direction. It was only a thousand meters from here to Jian An First High.
Run, run, run…
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters…
There was still a minute left. If he was a little faster, he should be able to make it.
Su Lin could already see the form teacher, Lin Qingxue, who was patrolling the school gate from afar. Lin Qingxue seemed to have also seen Su Lin, who was running away with his bag on his back. However, at this moment, the class bell rang.
"Oh! No…"
Ding! Ding!
The bell rang, but it was like a death knell to Su Lin.
" Just a little bit more, just a little bit more…If only time could stop for a moment, I would be able to run into the school…"
Although he was late because he had saved the old lady, Su Lin did not regret it at all. He just hoped that he could have a little more time or pause for a while so that he could avoid being caught by Lin Qingxue.
Who knew that the moment Su Lin thought of this, the entire world would suddenly stop. It was unbelievable. Su Lin looked at everything in front of him. He saw Teacher Lin, who was about to come and talk to him, and the willow trees on both sides of the school that were blown by the breeze.
Everything stopped.
No! Su Lin realized that everything had stopped, but he could still move. Su Lin had been running at a high speed just now, but now, it felt very strange. Everything around him had stopped, but Su Lin was still running into the school.
When he ran to Teacher Lin, he saw that Teacher Lin was wearing a black suit, a white shirt that was slightly transparent, and a black leather skirt that wrapped around her slender legs with black stockings. She was motionless. Su Lin was puzzled. He had already run to Teacher Lin, but she turned a blind eye to him. Even Lin Qingxue's long hair that was fluttering in the wind was frozen in the air.
"What happened? Why…why did everything stop moving?”
Su Lin was extremely shocked, but he still ran to the school in one breath. It took him dozens of seconds. However, when Su Lin looked at the digital watch on his hand, he realized that it was not moving at all, as if it was broken. The time was fixed at 8:01, and the needle was not moving at all.
Looking around again, Su Lin was sure that time had really stopped. Everything around him, except for himself, had stopped.
Silence! It was terrifyingly quiet. There was no sound at all. It was dead silent.
It was too terrifying. This feeling was deathly silent, without a trace of life.
He was afraid!
Su Lin was truly afraid. If he were to continue living in this frozen space, it would be unimaginable.
"Let's go! Move! You broken watch, go…"
Surrounded by endless fear, Su Lin roared at his watch. With a thought, everything around him suddenly returned to normal.
The frozen time was back to normal.
The wind continued to blow, and the willow leaves swayed. The sound of morning reading rang out in the school again, and Su Lin heard Teacher Lin Qingxue's surprised voice at the school gate.
"Eh? That's strange. I clearly saw that brat Su Lin rushing over from outside the school gate. I just told him yesterday, and he's actually late again today. But it was strange. Why was he gone again? Am I hallucinating?"
Upon hearing Lin Qingxue's surprise, Su Lin, who was standing behind her, knew that time had returned. He did not dare to stay in the school gate any longer. Before Lin Qingxue noticed him, he quickly tiptoed toward the classroom of Grade 12 Class 2.
However, just as Su Lin was about to escape, Lin Qingxue turned around and noticed him. She shouted at him,""Su Lin, stop right there!"
