tage." 。"Did I introduce the project wrong to her"Hearing her speak with such disdain, Shu Tinglan's words made Zhuo Yunan's face change instantly. He couldn't even bring himself to say a word. How c...His voice inexplicably calmed and sobered her, but she still kept running, her limbs feeling like they weren't her own. By the time she started her fourth lap, Wen Jian was already close to the finish line of her fourth lap. Wen Jian made her final push in the last two laps; when everyone was starting to get tired, she began to sprint.
At this point, Tinglan is about to start her fourth lap heading left-forward, while Wenjian happens to be at the same position on the track, but she's going to run straight off the track towards the finish line.
The two of them were almost overlapping in the same position. At that moment, Tinglan's brain was almost in a state of hypoxia. Every breath she took felt like a stab in her chest. She was destined to be the last one, but just then, she saw Wen Jian rushing over towards the finish line from the corner of her eye. In that instant, she had the thought of giving up and stopping, it was just a fleeting moment, her body moved as her mind willed it, and she slowed her pace.
As if by coincidence, she slowed her pace slightly, and Wen Jian happened to rush over, tripping over her feet.
Ting Lan's speed was slow, so he only got knocked to the ground. Wen Jian, however, was very fast and kept moving forward due to inertia, crashing heavily onto the ground.
A wave of exclamations swept across the track. The judges, along with fellow students and classmates, gathered around Wen Jian in a tight circle.
Ting Lan only heard Wen Jian's crying in pain, she swore, she really didn't mean to trip Wen Jian.
At this moment, she also fell to the ground. Her brain was already lacking oxygen from running and she was having trouble breathing. She struggled to get up to check on Wen Jian. Hearing Wen Jian's cries, it seemed like he had fallen seriously injured.
At this time, most people ran to see Wen Jian. Only Cheng Chen and Lu Kuo ran towards her. She was short of breath and her legs were a little soft. She couldn't get up on her own.
Suddenly, a gentle force behind her lifted her up and gently placed her beside him.
Zuo Yu'an, after putting her down gently, squatted beside her and asked with concern if she was hurt.
She shook her head and said no.
But Zhuo Yu'an still gently turned her ankle with both hands.
“Does it hurt” he asked.
Ting Lan shook her head.
He gently patted her knees again and asked, "Does it hurt"
She shook her head again.
Her legs are fine, she just had a little oxygen deprivation in her brain. Plus she's really worried about Wen Jian now.
The teacher standing beside her dispersed the onlookers. The school doctor, carrying a medical kit, also rushed over and squatted down next to Wen Jian to check on her.
Every time the doctor touched Wen Jian's feet, she cried out in pain. It really was a piercing pain.
The doctor said, "Take them to the hospital for an X-ray. We need to see if any bones are injured, there might be a fracture."
Wen Jian was a girl after all, and hearing that she might have a fracture, coupled with the piercing pain, made her cry even harder. The two doctors carefully moved her into the car.
Tinglan wanted to follow, but was stopped by the teacher and doctor. They wouldn't let the students go along.
Many students witnessed the accident and could be heard whispering to each other from time to time.
"I was tripped by Shu Tinglan from Class 3."
She suddenly stopped, Wen Jian wasn't prepared and bumped into her.
"Was it intentional I didn't realize she was so jealous, that's kind of messed up."
Tinglan had always been a good girl, praised by her teachers and classmates growing up. She had never been spoken to like this before, feeling both wronged and unsure how to explain herself.
On the contrary, Cheng Chen next to him retorted loudly at the crowd: "Don't talk nonsense, it was an accident. Tinglan didn't..."
He is that kind of person.
A few students who were whispering among themselves heard Cheng Chen's words and dispersed.
The 800-meter race was the last event, and the school sports meet came to an end.
Tinglan's body no longer ached, but now her heart felt heavy. It wasn't just because she was misunderstood by her classmates, but also because she worried about Wenjian's injuries and didn't know how serious they were.
She dragged her head behind Chen Chen and Lu Kuo as they walked out of the school.
Lu Kuo patted her shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay, we all believe you didn't mean it."
Cheng Chen also nodded solemnly beside him: "I believe in you too."
"Where is Zhuo Yu'an"
Lu Kuo suddenly found that Zhuo Yu'an, who had been by his side the whole time, was gone. He turned around and looked around, only to see him running all the way from the small shop next to the school campus, holding a bottle of Coke, and handing it to Tinglan.
He still remembered her genuine joy when she had a drink last time.
"Thank you," Tinglan whispered her gratitude as she took the drink.
Lu Kuo actually felt a bit guilty. If he hadn't acted impulsively and signed Tinglan up, this wouldn't have happened today.
"None of you should blame yourselves. This was an accident, it wasn't something you could control." Cheng Chen comforted them.
After that, Lu Kuo took a taxi and sent them home one by one.
Listening attentively, the bottle of drink in his hand remained unopened.
As she entered her own residential compound, she decided to call her mother and tell her about Wen Jian's injury. She planned to have her mother accompany her to the hospital to visit Wen Jian.
Right after I took out my phone, Dad called.
“Tinglan, what's wrong with Xiaojian”
Dad's voice sounded a little tired.
"I tripped and fell over nothing," Tinglan said, unfazed. "Dad -"
How would you know.
"Xiaojian's ankle is fractured, it's very serious. Tinglan, you tell Dad, did you do this on purpose"
Dad's voice was serious, and his tone wasn't a question. It was a statement, a firm belief that she had done it on purpose.
"I didn't mean to, it was an accident. Really, Dad, I didn't mean to." Being questioned by her classmates just made her a little sad, but being questioned by her father made her feel really wronged.
She was still in the neighborhood and hadn't gone home yet. At this moment, she saw her mother rushing back from the entrance of the community, presumably hurrying back from work.
"Lanlan, why are you standing here and not going home You should go home quickly, Mommy is going to the hospital to see Xiaojian."
Tinglan's tears welled up in her eyes: "Mom, I'll go with you."
The mother and daughter went to the hospital by car.
When she was in the car, her mother said: "When we get to the hospital, you should apologize to Xiao Jian first."
"Hmm."
"Mom, I didn't mean to bump into her."
"Mom knows." Of course, she knows what her own child is like.
Just arriving at the hospital, I saw Wen Jian lying on the bed, her left leg immobilized in a thick cast and she didn't move at all. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Wen Lan also had red-rimmed eyes, while Zhang He and Ting Lan both felt very guilty.
It looked painful. Tinglan stood by her bedside and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry."
Wen Jian, who is usually very well-behaved in front of his parents, because his leg hurts, perhaps, shouted: "I don't forgive you."
I don't forgive you, it was intentional. You purposely stopped to trip me. Because you didn't want me to come in first place.
"No, Wenjian, I don't. I didn't mean to," Tinglan explained.
You did that on purpose.
"Wen Jian's voice rose again, filled with hatred for her."
Wenlan hugged her from the side: "Xiao Jian, calm down. Don't touch the wound again."
Since Tinglan entered, Wenran hadn't looked at her directly.just vanish into thin air. Moreover, the people sent to protect her were carefully selected and highly trained. To lose someone under such circumstances, Zhu Yu'an almost went ballistic when he found...
