Chapter 19: Handsome for only three seconds
The subway actually stopped temporarily! ?
Seeing this scene, all the audience in the live broadcast room were shocked!
"No... I'm not dreaming, am I? It stopped? Did a miracle really happen?"
"I can't believe it! The leaders' meeting... actually produced results so quickly? What happened to the agreement that the leaders' meeting would start at half an hour?"
"In order to save this little girl, they really pulled down the 'gate'! This, this is not the leader I know!"
"Jinghai Metro is awesome!!! Huaxia is awesome!!!"
"What does it mean to put people first? What does it mean to put life first? Brothers, watch carefully! Learn well!!!"
The Emirates audience was also shocked!
"Oh my God! They actually did this?"
"I've heard that the United States once cut off the power supply to the entire country in order to save a sparrow that was entangled in high-voltage wires. Even the president participated in the rescue. I thought that the United States was really great. He respected an ordinary animal so much. He deserved to be a beacon of mankind!"
"Bullshit! You believe this? You can tell it's made up, right?"
"But...but I saw it with my own eyes! I don't know if it's true or not that America shut down the power to save Sparrow, but I saw with my own eyes that China shut down a subway train to save a girl!"
"Lord, aren't the Chinese a selfish and cunning people? Why do I see a shining light in them?"
"Who told you that China is selfish and cunning?"
"CBB and NNC."
"Do you believe everything the media says?"
As Martha walked down the subway holding Zhou Hanya, she still felt like she was dreaming and looked back in disbelief.
Through the door that had not yet closed, she could clearly see the various lives in the car. Everyone was still there silently playing with their phones, and almost no one looked at them. It was as if everyone was indifferent to the life and death of this little girl. Everyone's own life was already so difficult that they had no energy to care about other people's affairs.
But Martha would not forget.
Just now, these indifferent people, while they were playing with their mobile phones with their heads down, did not make a single glance or say a word, but silently made way and took the initiative to make way for Zhou Hanya.
The other carriages, which were not aware of the reason, were now making some noise, apparently expressing dissatisfaction with the sudden stop.
But the carriage was eerily quiet and no one complained about the stop.
They just sat there with their heads down playing with their phones, as if everything outside the phone had nothing to do with them.
"China is such a hard place to understand."
A smile gradually returned to Martha's face.
Subway tunnels are mainly used for subways, but there are also several key nodes that can lead directly to the ground. These nodes are generally considered "employee passages" and are also emergency passages for emergency evacuation in the event of an accident.
Soon, Lin Yan, Martha, and Zhou Hanya followed the subway staff through the emergency passage and returned to the ground. After seeing Zhou Hanya off, the subway quickly closed its doors and headed to its original destination.
After leaving the oxygen-scarce subway, Zhou Hanya's complexion looked better, but she still had difficulty breathing.
After all, the real reason for her "nervousness" and "fear" was that she was lost from her mother. It is impossible to make a seven or eight-year-old girl not feel afraid when she is alone in an environment full of strangers.
However, her condition has now visibly improved, and her heartbeat has slowly slowed down to a rhythm that can only be considered "slightly fast."
"Thank you, sister... and... big brother."
She gave the two of them a weak but sweet smile.
She was young, but not stupid. Although her mother had said "never talk to strangers", she had seen all of Lin Yan and Martha's anxious and caring expressions.
Needless to say, Martha, even Lin Yan, who was so scared that she wanted to run away when she saw him, is no longer repulsive.
After Lin Yan relaxed, he also felt like joking around, and smiled at Zhou Hanya:
"Why, you're not afraid of big brother anymore?"
"Well... Big Brother is a good man, Han Ya is not afraid anymore." Martha also smiled: "Big Brother is a good man, then, what about Sister?"
"Sister is a good person! Han Ya likes sister!"
Lin Yan complained: "Isn't this still discrimination?"
Martha laughed even more happily: "Haha, Yan, are you jealous of me here at Xiao Hanya?"
"You got it wrong! I'm jealous of you because of Han Ya! I haven't even let you hug me once, but you hugged her for so long! This won't do. I'm really jealous! You have to hug me for this long too!"
"That won't do, Yan. I'm just a spoiled weak girl. How can I hold a grown man like you?"
The two of them laughed in unison, which made Han Ya laugh as well, and her face finally became rosy.
After leaving the emergency exit and returning to the ground, the subway staff briefly registered the basic information of several people and suggested:
"I don't think the child's condition is that optimistic. I suggest you send her to the hospital for a diagnosis."
Martha was puzzled: "Do we need to go to the hospital? She is getting better now. As long as we wait for the mother to come and reunite with her, everything will be fine, right?"
"I'm afraid that won't work. The subway stopped temporarily this time, and no one expected it beforehand. Staff at other stations have already reported that the child's mother has taken the next subway and is heading towards Xiaosi Palace."
The staff explained: "We can't stop her again in this situation. She can only get off at Xiao Sigong and take another car to come here. It's rush hour now and the traffic is very congested. The most optimistic estimate is that it will take her an hour to get here."
"On the contrary, this emergency exit is located near the hospital. As you can see, it is only a two-minute walk away. I suggest that you send the child to the hospital first to avoid any further accidents."
Lin Yan and Martha looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
On the way to take the child to the hospital, Martha sighed.
"Yan, to be honest, I was really surprised to see you going crazy trying to grab the emergency button on the subway just now."
Lin Yan: “?”
Martha chuckled: "Because I thought you hated Han Ya at that time. Weren't you... very angry that Han Ya treated you and me differently?"
Lin Yan's face suddenly turned pale, and he complained:
"In your mind, am I a big kid who would fight with a little kid?"
"Haha, Yan, you're half right! You are indeed a very cute big kid in my heart!"
Martha winked at Lin Yan: "Besides being cute, he's also very handsome!"
"handsome?"
If you say this, Lin Yan won’t be sleepy anymore!
"Well, you went crazy and reckless for a little girl you had never met before and who even disliked you. You even blurted out to the conductor that you would bear all the risks and losses caused by the train stopping. In my eyes, you are the most handsome man in the world!"
Lin Yan: “!!!???”
"Martha, wait a minute!"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Handsome Yan?"
"Did I ever say that? Saving lives is one thing, but you can't blame me for this kind of loss! Jinghai Metro is a big company, how can they embarrass a commoner like me?"
Martha: “…”
Zhou Hanya: “…”
Audience in the live broadcast room: "..."
Brother, can you always be cool for more than three seconds?
