The scaffolding shook violently, and before Han Li had time to react, it fell sideways, and two of the loose steel pipes hit her straight down.
Sometimes people's stress response is to freeze and not know how to run. They only stretch out their hands to block the two steel pipes. At the critical moment, Han Li was knocked down by a brute force. When she fell to the ground, there was an extra person on her body.
Zhao Tingxing was on top of her, and two steel pipes hit him, then hit the ground with two clangs.
Zhao Tingxing, who was above, had no expression on his face. He didn't know if he had been hit. He just glanced down at her. After seeing that she was fine, anger gradually appeared on his face: "All your safety knowledge has been eaten by dogs?"
"Stupid woman!"
While scolding, he stood up with his hands on the ground, and also pulled Han Li up from the ground. Han Li was not injured, only his arm was slightly bruised from being suddenly thrown to the ground. But the ground was full of dust, and his clothes and hair were
Ashy.
Zhao Tingxing was not much better. The dark clothes he wore were even more dusty.
Han Li knew that he was in the wrong and accepted the scolding. He raised his head and asked him, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Tingxing glared at him, turned around and left, going to the workers and yelling, "Are they all blind? Didn't you know there was scaffolding on the other side of the wall?"
He was scary when he wasn't swearing, and even more scary now when he was angry. The workers stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Hurry up and clean it up."
The workers immediately dispersed to work, but Zhao Tingxing kept his back to Han Li and did not turn around.
Han Li saw that he was still angry and walking normally, so he must be fine, right?
Seeing those scattered steel pipes on the ground, I felt lingering fear. I silently patted the dust on my body and walked to a place with less dust to work.
She was so busy that she didn't come out until lunch. The workers gathered on the first floor to receive lunch boxes. She also went to get them. When the logistics staff responsible for ordering meals on weekdays saw her, they hurriedly handed her another lunch box, which was obviously different from everyone else's.
"You and Mr. Zhao ordered separately. I was negligent before." Logistics explained.
Han Li glanced at her lunch box and didn't say anything. She could eat the lunch box with the workers, but she could also accept the preferential treatment with peace of mind.
The logistician had another lunch box in his hand. He looked around and wondered: "I saw Mr. Zhao just now, why didn't he come?"
Han Li also followed her gaze and glanced around, and saw Zhao Tingxing's leaving figure not far away. His usually tall and straight figure now looked slightly hunched, and his walking was not as windy as usual.
Han Li put down his lunch box and chased after her, but when he reached the door, Zhao Tingxing had already driven into the car and passed her while turning the steering wheel. He didn't look sideways and didn't see her next to him.
Seeing him leaving, Han Li hurried to the side of the road to stop a car, but this was still a construction site and there were few vehicles, so he had to book a ride-hailing service online. When he got in the car, he left more than 20 minutes later than Zhao Tingxing.
All the way to the hotel, she went straight to the 22nd floor and rang his doorbell frantically, again and again. After a while, Zhao Tingxing opened the door from the inside, with an angry look on his face, especially after seeing her, he frowned: "What's the matter?"
He had just come back and took a shower and changed into a set of clean clothes. He wanted to rest, but he would inevitably be angry if he was interrupted.
Han Li stepped forward and pulled his clothes, and he took a step back: "Are you crazy?"
Han Li's eyes were red, and regardless of whether he stepped forward to pull his clothes, Zhao Tingxing reached out and held her wrist to stop him.
