Chapter 88

The First People's Hospital of the Magic City.

A girl wearing a mask and oversized sunglasses rushed into the hospital entrance.

The corridors of the hospital were filled with patients and their families, all of whom were now staring in surprise at the rapidly approaching figure, their faces full of astonishment: Is this girl who is wrapped up so tightly an athlete?

Otherwise, how could a girl run so fast?

Ding!

The elevator dinged.

As soon as the people inside had just stepped out, the girl rushed into the elevator without hesitation and decisively pressed the button for the fifth floor, completely ignoring the many strange looks from those around her.

——

Yang Mi was pacing back and forth restlessly.

Behind her, the sign above the emergency room still read "In Resuscitation" in red letters.

She bit her originally red lips so hard that they had turned completely pale from the force.

Her heart was in knots, and she repeatedly blamed herself, thinking that if it weren't for saving her, Luoyang would never have been in trouble.

If Luoyang hadn't pushed her away so decisively, the two of them might have switched roles, and the one lying inside receiving resuscitation should have been her.

Her face still bore the traces of dried tears, her eyes were a bit red, and her mind was in chaos, at a loss for what to do.

Tap tap tap!

Just as Yang Mi was feeling sorrow and self-reproach, a slender figure rushed over like the wind.

Yang Mi didn't even have time to react before the figure was already standing at the door of the emergency room, looking up at the three red words "In Resuscitation," lost in thought.

——

She was trembling.

Yang Mi clearly saw that the girl standing with her back to her was trembling slightly.

She remembered the call she had made twenty minutes ago using Luoyang's phone. This girl must be the person marked as "Qing" in Luoyang's phone, right?

"Are you a friend of Luoyang's?" Yang Mi, who had already bitten her lips until they bled, asked tentatively in a soft voice.

"Uh-huh." The girl, with her back to Yang Mi, spoke without any fluctuation in her voice, but Yang Mi could sense that the girl was trying to suppress something.

"I'm sorry, Luoyang was in the accident because he was trying to save me. It's all my fault." Taking a deep breath, Yang Mi bowed and apologized sincerely to the girl.

The girl slowly turned around, took off her mask and sunglasses, and leaned back against the cold wall.

"Liuxin!"

When she saw the girl standing opposite her, without the cover of sunglasses and a mask, Yang Mi immediately recognized who she was.

Her face was full of shock—she never would have thought that the person marked as "Qing" in Luoyang's phone would be her long-admired idol, Liuxin!

On the other side, Liuxin also recognized Yang Mi.

But this did not cause any fluctuation in her emotions.

Or rather, at this moment, even if all the top-tier superstars from her previous life were standing in front of her, it would be difficult to shift her attention for even a second.

Leaning against the cold wall of the hospital, Liuxin stared at Yang Mi and said in a calm voice, "How is that hero who saved the beauty?"

"He... the doctors are still resuscitating him, and I..."

Liuxin interrupted her stammering, "Alright, put away that innocent and sweet face. Just say you don't know."

Reprimanded by Liuxin, Yang Mi silently lowered her head.

Liuxin didn't say anything more, just leaned against the wall, staring at the door of the emergency room, lost in thought.

——

Click.

The door of the emergency room opened.

It had been over an hour.

Several doctors with bloodstains on their clothes walked out, and behind them, a few nurses were pushing a hospital bed out. On the bed, Luoyang's face was covered in scratches, and his eyes were tightly closed.

Yang Mi immediately rushed over, anxiously asking, "Doctor, how is he?"

Liuxin, who had put her mask and sunglasses back on, didn't move, but she was also staring at the doctor, her gaze so intense that even through the sunglasses, the doctor felt uncomfortable.

"The patient... is basically out of danger now."

"Thank goodness!" Hearing that Luoyang was fine, Yang Mi burst into tears with relief, the long-suppressed emotions finally released. She repeatedly thanked the doctor, "Thank you, doctor, thank you! Thank you!"

"You don't need to thank us." The doctor shook his head and smiled, "The patient was lucky. He looked seriously injured, but most of it was just superficial. He was just unconscious at the time."

"Regardless, I still have to thank you. Otherwise..." At this point, Yang Mi was already sobbing.

The doctor said, "Now we will transfer the patient to the 211 special care ward. The patient needs rest, so it's best not to disturb him."

"Okay, we understand! We'll wait for him to wake up outside the ward!" Yang Mi nodded repeatedly.

After the doctor left, Yang Mi looked at Liuxin, crying and laughing, "Xin... Liuxin, it's okay, he's okay, thank goodness... Let's go wait by the door together!"

Liuxin, however, sneered, "If you want to go, go yourself. Don't act like you don't have legs. I think it's a pity that the guy didn't die."

"How can you say that! Isn't he your good friend!" Hearing Liuxin's harsh words, even though this girl was her idol, Yang Mi was a bit angry.

Liuxin turned her face away, gently brushing the hair from her forehead, and said coldly, "I don't need you to teach me how to speak."

"You!"

Yang Mi glared at Liuxin in a huff and then hurriedly chased after the hospital bed, disappearing down the corridor.

——

"Damn, damn, damn."

After Yang Mi left, Liuxin raised her fist and finally slammed it heavily against the hospital wall.

The solid punch made a "bang" sound, and even the skin on her knuckles was slightly scraped.

But Liuxin seemed to feel no pain. She took off her sunglasses, and if Yang Mi were still there, she would have noticed that Liuxin's eyes were frighteningly red.

She also took off her mask because the tears had soaked it, making her face feel uncomfortable.

"Liuxin, why are you crying like a woman?" When she said this, Liuxin felt like a raving madwoman—perhaps it would have been more fitting for Luoyang to say it.

But...

Since no one was around to see.

As she cursed, Liuxin seemed to tire.

She took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped away the snot that had mixed with her tears.

She put her mask and sunglasses back on and began to lean against the wall, slowly moving step by step down the corridor.

Yes.

She was exhausted.

Actually, when she arrived at the hospital and saw the red light on in the emergency room, all her strength had been drained.

She didn't know how she had managed to endure the agonizing wait for over an hour.

Or perhaps, because she didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of others, Liuxin had managed to suppress her nearly collapsing emotions and put on a relatively calm facade.

She wasn't leaning against the wall because she was tired.

It was because without the support of the wall, she was afraid she would sit on the ground without any dignity.

Even though a chair was just a few meters away, she couldn't walk over to it normally. The feeling of utter helplessness was something many people would never experience in their lifetime.

As for what Yang Mi saw...

It was always just Liuxin leaning against the wall, her head slightly raised, looking cold and indifferent.

Yang Mi wouldn't know.

Liuxin was leaning against the wall because she was afraid of falling.

Liuxin raised her head to try to stop the tears from flowing.

Liuxin wore sunglasses to hide her red eyes.

Liuxin wore a mask to let the tears be absorbed by the soft fabric.

She couldn't cry like a third-rate melodramatic idol drama heroine while Luoyang was being resuscitated inside, could she?

That kind of innocent and saintly role was better left to Yang Mi to play. What she needed to do was to be stronger, more like a man, right?
