Chapter 578: This Little Girl Has Nothing Else To Give (1/2)

I knew where the nearest hospital was located. When Du Thirteen and I got into a fight against some other people, we went to the same hospital to get his nose fixed up.

I sped towards the hospital and hurriedly carried Murong Mingyue into the emergency room when we arrived. The doctor on duty was extremely professional and kept his calm while examining her. When he concluded his examination, he turned towards me and said, “Even though she lost quite a lot of blood, she just suffered a small cut on her forehead. This girl has a rather strong physique, so losing this much blood won’t be an issue for her. However, since she was involved in a serious car accident, it would be for the best if she stayed for further examination so that we can observe her overnight. We’ll give her another check-up tomorrow.”

I nodded my head in agreement with the doctor.

A few nurses stared at me before they finally couldn’t stop themselves from giggling. One of them asked, “Hey handsome, why do you look like a drowned rat?”

What the heck, they finally couldn’t resist asking me that question. I knew they were dying to ask me that from the start!

I kept silent as I ushered Murong Mingyue protectively into her hospital room.

Ring, ring, ring...

He Yi’s number flashed on my phone and I quickly answered it. Her anxious voice could immediately be heard through the phone as she asked, “Lu Chen, where are you at right now? Beiming Xue said that you went to look for Mingyue. Have you found her yet?”

“Yup, I found her. We are at Hospital XX now.”

“Why did the two of you go to the hospital?”

“Sis Mingyue was involved in a horrible traffic accident near the highway entrance. The truck in front of her flipped and she rammed straight into it. I only found her after the fact.”

He Yi was so shocked by that news that she lapsed into a frightened silence. My phone went silent for a while before she finally stammered, “Lu Chen… please tell me that Mingyue is… is alright. Please?”

I chuckled before replying, “Yes, don’t you worry. She’s absolutely fine. She only suffered a few bumps and scratches.”

“Alright! I’m heading over with Beiming Xue right now!”

“Okay…”

……

I chuckled before replying, “Yeah, you could say that. It was definitely a matter of life and death.”

The nurse shook her head while she helped me bandage my wounds. She glanced at the sleeping Murong Mingyue before she said, “Is that your girlfriend? You ended up in this state because you saved her, right?”

I shook my head and replied, “She isn’t my girlfriend.”

“Are you crazy? Why suffer so much for a woman who isn’t your girlfriend?” The little nurse continued to grumble and complain.

A smile crept across my face, but I didn’t say anything.

……

Creak!

The hospital room’s door opened after that as He Yi and Beiming Xue tiptoed into the room. He Yi immediately let out a sigh of relief when she saw Murong Mingyue sound asleep with an IV hooked into her arm. But when she turned towards me, she immediately noticed that my arms were wrapped in bandages.

A panicked expression appeared on her face as she asked, “Lu Chen, what happened to you?”

He Yi hurriedly knelt at my side and cradled my hand, “What happened to your arm?”

I laughed before I jerked my hand back and said, “It’s nothing. I just suffered a few scratches…”

He Yi clenched her teeth angrily before she whipped out her phone and pointed to the screen. She immediately said, “Someone posted this photo on Weibo. A dump truck had flipped over and the dirt it was carrying had buried an A8. After that, an unknown individual saved the driver by desperately clawing away the dirt with his bare hands. Was that person you?”

I nodded my head. “Ah, this social media age is truly frightening. Nothing can be kept a secret anymore…”

He Yi’s eyes instantly turned red and she looked like she was on the brink of crying as she snapped at me, “How dare you still smile as if everything’s okay!”

I stretched out a hand to clasp her shoulder. “See, my wounds have been disinfected and dressed. Even the nurse said that I was fine. These are really just a few small scratches. Back in the day, when Du Thirteen and I got into a brawl with some other people, my skull was nearly bashed in. But look at me now. I’m still alive and well…”

He Yi spat out a soft laugh before she said in an annoyed tone, “You actually dare to mention something like this now!?”

Beiming Xue leaned on my side and caressed my hand. “Doesn’t it hurt, big bro?”

I laughed. “It hurts a lot. But how can this pain be compared to the one I felt when I saw Sis Mingyue being buried under all that dirt? If you were there, I’m sure that either of you would have done the same thing.”

Beiming Xue’s eyes welled up with tears, “Big bro…”

……

Murong Mingyue finally woke up from her slumber at this exact moment, and she groggily whispered, “Water…”
