Chapter 4 Injured

  Teacher Xu's arrangement was actually very simple. All the competition affairs were arranged by Li Chang and Du Yifei, and Wang Huaming and I assisted. There were also some members of the student union and some school clubs to help set up the competition venue, contact the purchase of competition supplies and so on. With many people working together, everything could be settled within three days.

  My task was simple, and I quickly withdrew from the school's assigned venue for setting up the competition hall. I walked briskly towards my dormitory alone. I planned to make use of the time to return to my dormitory and write something, making up for the delay over the past few days.

  From the auditorium to the dormitory, this distance is not far or near, about one kilometer. There is a small hill in the middle, and after crossing the small hill, you will arrive at the entrance of our dormitory. This small hill has lush green trees, vibrant flowers, and cultural corridors, zoos, and other scenic spots on both sides of the road in the mountain. On one side of the hill, there is an artificial lake where you can row a boat, fish, pick lotus flowers, and appreciate chrysanthemums. It is a highlight of our school and also a ideal place for many university students to fall in love. After all, who doesn't like to talk about romance in beautiful scenery?

  I had just arrived at the artificial lake when I heard someone behind me loudly calling out to me: "Jin Cang."

  I heard the voice and knew who was calling me. I had no choice but to turn around and stand still, watching as he slowly walked up to me: "What's going on? My mission is already complete, can't I leave for a while?"

  It was Li Chuan who stopped me, who had been against me everywhere these past few days. I don't know who told him that Du Yifei sent me a message, and as Du Yifei's pursuer, Li Chuan suddenly regarded me as his love rival. These days, while setting up the competition venue together, Li Chuan didn't hesitate to make things difficult for me, many times even being unreasonable and intentionally making trouble.

  This isn't right now, stop me, probably it's another follow-up of this matter.

  Li Chang heard my accusation and actually smiled. Li Chang is very handsome, I have to admit that. When he smiles, it's even more captivating, especially for girls, the damage is huge. He's just a born legendary handsome guy: "Can't you be called when nothing's wrong? Besides, I'm calling Jin Cang, the school isn't only you who calls Jin Cang, I don't have to be calling you, what do you say?"

  I couldn't help but feel annoyed and said in a cold tone, "If you have something to say, then say it. If not, I still have things to do."

  Li Chang's face still wore his signature smile: "Nothing, just teasing you. Who told you to be so ignorant and dare to have contact with Yi Fei? Honestly, you're not even worthy of competing with me for Yi Fei, Yi Fei is mine, you don't stand a chance."

  My anger surged up, and I almost couldn't help but punch him. This arrogant guy, humph, it's better not to bother with him, I took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in my heart, and calmly said: "Li Chang classmate, you, or Du Yifei's affairs, I don't care about them, nor do I want to know about them. We won't have much intersection anyway, please don't come to disturb me again, okay?"

  Li Chang's face turned slightly red, and his tone also changed: "I hope so, you'd better stay away from Yifei, otherwise, you'll regret it."

  Looking at Li Chang's disheveled appearance, I didn't want to say anything else and turned around to leave in big strides.

  Back to the dormitory, unexpectedly couldn't calm down for a long time. Originally planned to write something, but didn't make it happen. Sat there for about 20 minutes before finally couldn't help but leave the dorm and head to the internet cafe.

  The school has four main gates, two colleges east and west, a road runs through the middle of the school, dividing it into two parts, known as East Yard and West Yard. The department I'm in is located in the East Yard, and the dormitory is also in the East Yard, which is relatively convenient.

  Outside the east gate of the university, there are many internet cafes, restaurants and shops concentrated in this area. I'm used to surfing the internet at a net cafe called "No Restriction".

  Because my family is not very wealthy, I don't have a computer of my own, so if I want to go online, I can only come to an internet cafe. Many classmates are the same, students from well-off families are relatively few in number.

  The carefree boss knew me long ago, as soon as I went in, he immediately gave me a network card and pointed to a small private room inside the internet cafe, saying: "Room 100 is just available."

  I walked over without saying a word, just about to sit down in front of machine 100, when the phone rang. I took out my cell phone and saw that it was Du Yifei's number: "Come quickly, a classmate accidentally fell off the ladder and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately."

  Hearing Du Yifei's anxious voice, I knew something big had happened, so I quickly ran out of the internet cafe and rushed to the auditorium.

  By the time I rushed to the auditorium all out of breath, the injured classmate had already been carried onto the school bus by several other classmates and was on his way to the hospital.

  I grabbed a classmate who was helping to lift someone and asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

  "That classmate said: 'I fell and hurt my leg, can't move it now, probably a fracture.'"

  I was startled and rushed into the hall, and from a distance I saw Du Yifei sitting on a chair with an anxious look: "What's going on?"

  Du Yifei looked at me for a moment without speaking, and there was actually a pained expression on her face.

  My heart skipped a beat, and I hastily looked at her to see that her right wrist was red and swollen, obviously injured: "What's wrong with your hand?"

  Du Yifei gritted her teeth, but still managed to laugh: "It's okay, I just saw a classmate fall down and thought about whether I could catch him. As it turned out, I didn't make it in time, only grabbing his sleeve and twisting my own wrist."

  I took a closer look at her wrist, and it was obviously swollen a lot, with a large area of blood redness. It was clear that she was seriously injured. So I said softly: "Don't try to tough it out, go to the hospital quickly."

  Du Yifei hesitated for a moment: "You take me there, I'm afraid of needles, and I dread going to the hospital."

  I couldn't help but laugh: "Acupuncture? You don't need to get an injection for this..." I suddenly thought of the many doctors in the countryside who use silver needles to treat sprains, so I said: "Maybe they'll use a silver needle, that way it will heal faster."

  Du Yifei seemed to be scared: "Then I won't go, I'm really afraid..."

  I took a closer look at her wrist and confirmed that the injury was quite serious, so I insisted: "You must go to the hospital for treatment, otherwise, by tonight, your wrist will swell up and you won't be able to move it, and then going to the hospital will be too late."

  Du Yifei looked at me suspiciously: "Is it really that serious? You're not a doctor, how can you be so sure?"

  "I... I was really stumped by her, and after thinking for a moment, I said: "I'm not a doctor, but I've experienced something like this before. Last time our school and Yi Hua University had a joint party, didn't I go? I accidentally tripped and twisted my wrist, at first it wasn't as serious as yours, so I didn't think much of it, but by evening, it was terrible, swollen like... and couldn't even move."

  Du Yifei finally came to his senses and hastily said: "Then why are you talking so much, hurry up and ride my bike!"

  I had a belly full of grievances to express, but when I saw her wrist, I couldn't say anything else, so I took the key she handed over and ran to the garage in a hurry.

  Du Yifei's bicycle was the prize for the last school debate competition, said to be a high-tech carbon fiber product, worth a lot of money, and looked very stylish, compared to ordinary bicycles, it was particularly eye-catching.

  Riding a bicycle to the auditorium, Du Yifei was already waiting. After she sat down, I hurriedly ran to the school's hospital outside the campus.

  Five minutes later, I arrived at the hospital. I couldn't care about the stench of sweat all over me and shouted to the nurse in the hospital lobby: "Help! Someone is injured."

  The nurse rushed out with a stretcher in hand, only to see that the injured person had already walked into the hospital on their own.

  After a flurry of activity, a nurse with an angry face said to me: "What a fuss you're making, getting us all sweaty... You'd better go pay your girlfriend's medical bill quickly and bring the receipt back to me."

  I really wanted to explain that Du Yifei wasn't my girlfriend, but the nurse had already turned around and left.

  After paying the fee and finding that nurse, I handed her the receipt. Only then did I realize that I was also drenched in sweat.

  At this time, Du Yifei's wrist had been treated by the doctor and was wrapped in gauze. He didn't know what specific treatment he received, but he paid a deposit of 500 yuan, saying that after reimbursement, he would get some money back or pay more.

  When Du Yifei came out, a nurse followed her. I knew the nurse, whose name was Zhou Hui, and she was only two or three years older than me. Zhou Hui sent Du Yifei to my side and smiled, saying: "Jin Cang, you've saved another classmate this time. Won't it be... ah... hehe."

  I hastily shook my head: "He's from my hometown."

  "Haha, great to see you, fellow villager! I'm familiar with you." Pausing for a moment: "By the way, wasn't that little... Little Li or something also from your hometown? Thanks to you for sending him over in time last time, otherwise he would have been in danger."

  I also laughed: "I just happened to meet him, can't see death and not save it, nothing."

  "That's not how it was," Zhou Hui shook her head, "At the time, I saw that you were injured and bleeding a lot. You must have blocked quite a few glass shards for Little Li."

  I don't want to talk to her anymore, who says intelligent women are likable? I just don't like them. Intelligent women can often see a lot of things from some very small details, which is really scary.

  Du Yifei was also very curious on the side: "What time are you guys talking about? How come I've never heard of it?"

  Zhou Hui said proudly, "Didn't your fellow townsman tell you? No matter, I'll tell you instead." She glanced at me with an expression that left me puzzled: "It's like this - several months ago, there was that explosion incident at the bar outside school, do you remember?"

  Du Yifei nodded: "Of course I remember, I heard several people died."

  "Uh-huh," Zhou Hui said, "It was that incident. At the time, Little Li was also in that bar, and when the explosion happened, he had just stepped out to buy cigarettes, so he escaped unscathed. However, Little Li was still cut by the shattered glass from the bar's windows, and several of his wounds were very deep, bleeding profusely, and his life was hanging by a thread. Fortunately, Jin Cang happened to be passing by, saw Little Li's critical injuries, and despite the risk of further explosions and the broken glass on the ground, he rushed Little Li to our hospital in time, saving his life."

  Du Yifei let out a soft "oh" and said, "So that's how it is." She gave me a strange look, her eyes filled with an even thicker layer of something I couldn't quite decipher.

  "Actually you're still a very enthusiastic person," Du Yifei said in a low voice to me: "I thought you were a very cold and indifferent guy, who didn't care about anything."

  I was suddenly speechless, staring straight at her delicate face, unsure of how to continue the conversation.

  When Du Yifei saw my appearance, a blush actually appeared on her face, making her look even more eye-catching. She was already a fairy-like girl, and this blush made her look even more beautiful, it's not an exaggeration to say that she was as lovely as a flower.

  As the saying goes, everyone has a heart that loves beauty. I am also human, and I am a thorough "commoner", so for a while, I really stared blankly.

  Zhou Hui burst out laughing on the side: "Be careful your eyeballs drop out."

  I was taken aback and hastily turned my head, not daring to look at Du Yifei again. At the same time, I also felt a wave of heat on my face, worrying that Du Yifei would take advantage of the situation to blow up again.

  Du Yifei surprisingly didn't blow up this time, but instead spoke very softly to me: "Let's go, send me back to the dorm."

  I was just about to agree when Zhou Hui said, "You can't leave the hospital yet, your wrist is injured quite badly and needs to be observed overnight. I'll take you to your room now."

  Du Yifei looked at me with difficulty, then nodded and followed Zhou Hui away.
