The lights in the emergency room came on, and Lin Qianliu was blocked outside the door. Although Luo Qubai had comforted her that there would be no major problems before she was pushed in, Lin Qianliu was still nervous as she sat in the waiting area. The clock hands on the white wall ticked away, and every time they ticked, Lin Qianliu's heart seemed to be struck.
In order to calm himself down, Lin Qianliu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed for Luo Qubai.
"Da Da Da..." A crisp sound came from far away and reached Lin Qianliu's ears. She opened her eyes and saw Jian Sile walking towards her in high heels.
"How is Qu Bai?" Jian Sile asked as soon as he arrived in front of Lin Qianliu.
"I don't know yet. The doctor is still treating him." Lin Qianliu answered truthfully.
Jian Sile glanced at the door of the emergency room and murmured, "Qu Bai, please don't be in any trouble."
Then, she returned her gaze to Lin Qianliu and asked, "Don't you all know that Qu Bai's leg is injured? Why did you let him play today?"
"Because..." Lin Qianliu's eyes flashed with a guilty look, "It's my fault. He asked me if I wanted to watch him play basketball, and I didn't react immediately. I just nodded reflexively, so..."
"You..." Hearing Lin Qianliu's answer, Jian Sile looked at her in disbelief, his lips slightly open and unable to utter a word.
It’s because of her again!
On the night of the college entrance examination two years ago, Luo Qubai almost lost his life because of Lin Qianliu; two years later, he was admitted to the emergency room again because of Lin Qianliu.
A raging rage ignited in her heart. Jian Sile was extremely angry, and her scarlet eyes stared at Lin Qianliu. She said, "Lin Qianliu, do you know that the reason why Luo Qubai became what he is now is all because of you? "
Facing Jian Sile's questioning, Lin Qianliu did not deny it. She hated herself too. If it weren't for her, Luo Qubai wouldn't be lying in the emergency room at this moment, with an unknown condition.
"Do you know what you did on the night after the college entrance examination?" After a pause, Jian Sile shouted angrily as if he had exhausted all his strength, "Lin Qianliu, you have harmed Luo Qubai time and time again. You have no right to stand here at all!"
What did she do two years ago?
Lin Qianliu was almost confused by Jian Sile's questioning.
On the night of the college entrance examination, she called Luo Qubai again and again, but his phone was always turned off, and no one responded to her QQ and WeChat messages. She thought Luo Qubai didn't want her anymore because she failed the exam, so she was sad and upset, so she went out to drink until she was almost unconscious.
When she woke up the next day, Luo Qubai did not show up. And from that day on, no matter what method she used, she could not find him again. When she received news from Luo Qubai again, she learned that he had gone abroad with Jian Sile.
It was clearly her, Lin Qianliu, who was abandoned without a word, and she was also the one who was heartbroken for two whole years. Why is it that now she is the one who harmed him?
The grievance and sadness that had been accumulating in his heart suddenly burst out, and Lin Qianliu said almost hysterically: "You were the ones who left without saying a word at the beginning. Why do you say that I have harmed Luo Qubai again and again? Why do you say that I have no right to stand here?"
"Why?" Jian Sile felt that Lin Qianliu's self-righteousness was unreasonable. She continued, "Lin Qianliu, Luo Qubai had always refused to let me tell you the truth of that year, but now, since you want to know so much, I will tell you everything. Back then, it was you who pushed Luo Qubai into hell with your own hands ."
Time goes back to that night two years ago.
After all the exams were over that afternoon, Lin Qianliu started calling Luo Qubai, but his phone was always turned off. The call was unreachable, and the QQ messages he sent did not receive a reply. Lin Qianliu became desperate while waiting.
Meanwhile, Luo Qubai lost his phone right after leaving the examination room. He was dragged to the hotel by his parents to attend the celebration banquet before he had time to change his backup phone. After the celebration banquet, he immediately went home to log in to QQ to see if Lin Qianliu had contacted him. As soon as he opened it, Lin Qianliu's avatar kept flashing, and more than 40 messages came to him. Luo Qubai did not even have time to turn off the computer, and he changed his backup phone and went out.
Lin Qianliu, who was in a bad mood, went to get drunk. After drinking half a dozen beers, she called Luo Qubai. Knowing that Lin Qianliu was drinking , Luo Qubai immediately took a taxi and rushed over. However, Lin Qianliu was already a little drunk at that time. She didn't recognize him at first. After swearing at him a few words, she fell into his arms.
Luo Qubai used Lin Qianliu's phone to call Lin's father, explained her situation, and asked for her home address. After paying the bill, Luo Qubai supported the unconscious Lin Qianliu and prepared to send her home. Before leaving the food stall, Lin Qianliu woke up again. When she confirmed that the other party was indeed Luo Qubai, she started to act crazy.
Lin Qianliu cried and scolded Luo Qubai. From her intermittent words, Luo Qubai understood that she had misunderstood him.
But for a moment, he couldn't explain to Lin Qianliu who couldn't even stand steadily. She staggered forward, and Luo Qubai followed closely behind her. Seeing Lin Qianliu's foot tilted and was about to fall, Luo Qubai quickly pulled her back into his arms.
Finally, the two of them reached the taxi stop, and Lin Qianliu started arguing with Luo Qubai again.
As they chased and shoved each other, they came to the road. The drunk Lin Qianliu's strength was beyond Luo Qubai's imagination. She suddenly pushed him hard and he fell in the middle of the road. Then, a car rushed towards him...
From then on, Luo Qubai's right leg was left disabled.
Lin Qianliu went into the hospital with him, but she just fainted due to excessive shock. She would be fine after sobering up and resting for two days.
After learning from the surveillance video that Lin Qianliu was the culprit who caused Luo Qubai's injury, the Luo family angrily expressed that they would make her receive the punishment she deserved and take responsibility for her actions. Father Lin personally apologized to Luo Qubai and the Luo family. Luo Qubai, who wanted to protect Lin Qianliu, did not intend to hold her accountable, but Mother Luo's attitude remained very tough.
When the two sides were deadlocked, Jian Sile proposed a compromise plan. In the end, Luo's mother agreed not to pursue Lin Qianliu's responsibility, but the condition was that from now on, Lin Qianliu would withdraw from Luo Qubai's life, Luo Qubai would delete all contact information about Lin Qianliu, and then go abroad to recover from his injuries.
Luo Qubai agreed to this condition.
Rather than letting Lin Qianliu get hurt because of him, he would rather leave her.
"It's ridiculous that you couldn't remember what happened that night after you woke up, and you even forgot that you had met Luo Qubai." Jian Sile laughed in anger, "In the past two years , Luo Qubai's body and mind have been suffering all the time. I comforted him when he was sad, encouraged him when he was discriminated against and felt inferior, and I accompanied him step by step! And you, the instigator, have never felt the slightest remorse and live freely. Lin Qianliu, tell me, why do you stand by Luo Qubai's side?"
Although she and Luo Qubai were childhood sweethearts, Jian Sile knew from the beginning that Luo Qubai only treated her as a younger sister who grew up together. For a long time, Jian Sile felt that as long as she could be with Luo Qubai, she would be satisfied. Because at least, Luo Qubai, who had a cold personality and even autistic tendencies since childhood, looked very natural and relaxed when he was with her.
Jian Sile felt that Luo Qubai was special to her. Even if he didn't like her, he had feelings for her that were different from other girls. So, even though there were many girls pursuing Luo Qubai, Jian Sile was not worried at all.
It was not until this girl named Lin Qianliu appeared that Jian Sile realized that the so-called specialness might just be her own wishful thinking.
At first, Jian Sile thought that Lin Qianliu was just an ordinary girl among the many girls who pursued Luo Qubai, and would give up after being treated coldly by him many times. But the fact is, Lin Qianliu is not the ordinary girl she thought.
She has a patience that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and she pesters Luo Qubai like a piece of taffy all day long. The colder Luo Qubai is to her, the more crazy she becomes about him. Not only does she not give up, but she becomes more and more courageous.
Although Luo Qubai did not admit it verbally, Jian Sile, as an outsider, could see that his indifference towards Lin Qianliu was gradually fading, and he had even begun to accept her in his heart.
"You never know how much you like someone until you see him or her with someone else."
When the relationship between Luo Qubai and Lin Qianliu changed, Jian Sile suddenly understood what this sentence meant. At this moment, Lin Qianliu had already left her far behind in the journey of winning Luo Qubai's heart.
Therefore, when she learned that Luo Qubai was injured and disabled because of Lin Qianliu, she felt angry and sad, but also a little happy. Because she saw the hope that Luo Qubai would return to her, she resolutely decided to accompany Luo Qubai to go abroad to recover.
Luo Qubai, who was originally aloof, was not the kind of person who was liked in the class. In addition, he suffered from leg disease, so he was ridiculed and excluded a lot when he first entered school. Although Luo Qubai acted as if he didn't care about it in front of the Luo family, Jian Sile, who was in the same school with him, saw him beating his injured right leg more than once in private.
Luo's family was afraid that Luo Qubai would become ill if he kept suppressing his emotions, so they asked him to see a psychiatrist. He was forced to undergo psychological treatment, but after the treatment, he still didn't like to talk.
In order to better communicate with Luo Qubai and comfort him, Jian Sile used his after-school time to teach himself psychology.
During that period, in addition to attending professional classes during the day and helping to take care of Luo Qubai at school, she also had to study on her own at night. She slept very little every day and lost more than ten pounds in a short period of time.
Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. Although Luo Qubai's habit of being taciturn had not changed much, at least the distance between them seemed to have been shortened a lot.
She accompanied him to do rehabilitation on weekends, staying for an entire afternoon. When she noticed that he was feeling down, she tried every way to encourage him. When Luo Qubai had almost recovered and could basically walk on his own, she turned down a gathering with her girlfriends and accompanied him on a trip.
In the past two years, Jian Sile almost gave up her life. She became a strange Chinese girl in the eyes of her Western classmates. She didn't date her boyfriend, she didn't go shopping with her girlfriends, she never came to class early and never stayed after class. Even if she stayed in the dormitory, she never attended girls' parties. They didn't know where she spent her time.
Only she herself knew that all her thoughts were on the boy named Luo Qubai.
She accompanied him to the cafeteria to eat, accompanied him to the library to study; she accompanied him to watch the sun rise and set, accompanied him to feel the winter turn to spring; she accompanied him to bid farewell to the past, accompanied him to welcome the future...
She thought he had let go of Lin Qianliu.
She thought he would understand her feelings and try to accept her.
She thought she would have a future with him.
So, when Luo Qubai proposed to return to China but was opposed by the Luo family, she once again stood by him resolutely, just like she did two years ago.
But Jian Sile still underestimated the importance of Lin Qianliu in Luo Qubai's heart. She didn't expect that he would go to see Lin Qianliu as soon as he came back. What she didn't expect was that, as if overnight, their relationship returned to the way it was before.
If it was Jian Sile's carelessness and lack of effort in high school that allowed Lin Qianliu to take advantage of him, then the Luo family has witnessed Jian Sile's dedication to Luo Qubai in the past two years.
Although their relationship has not changed yet, Luo Qubai's parents have already regarded her as their own family. So, no matter what, she, Jian Sile, is the one who is qualified to stand beside Luo Qubai.
This time, she will definitely not let go easily.
"You said that it was me who caused Luo Qubai to become disabled?" Lin Qianliu asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes full of doubt.
Jian Sile didn't hesitate at all, and answered her word by word: "Yes, it's you."
After getting the other party's definite answer, Lin Qianliu was stunned. It was true that she was drunk that night, but how could she hurt Luo Qubai? Even in her dreams, she wanted to protect him.
"No, no, you must be lying!" Lin Qianliu shook his head and said as he stepped back, "You must be jealous of the relationship between me and Luo Qubai and wanted to sow discord between us, so you deliberately made up a story like this."
No, it must be Jian Sile who is lying. She, Lin Qianliu, likes Luo Qubai so much, how could she bear to hurt him?
Seeing Lin Qianliu's stubbornness, Jian Sile's anger grew stronger and stronger. She approached Lin Qianliu step by step and taunted him, "Lin Qianliu, I didn't expect you to be such a coward. The facts are right in front of you, but you are still deceiving yourself."
At this moment, Jian Sile's pupils were filled with anger, and Lin Qianliu didn't even dare to look at her directly.
"If you think I'm lying, you can go to your dad to verify it."
Faced with the aggressive Jian Sile, Lin Qianliu, who was almost emotionally collapsed, was almost unable to resist.
"Stop talking!" Lin Qianliu roared as if he had used up all his strength.
