Lane Master

In the hospital corridor in the early morning, there is the occasional sound of wheels sliding across the ground.

In the ward, Zhou Jianxing tried to get out of the bed with the careful support of Wen Lingyi and Zhou Shufen on his left and right.

It was the first time in such a long time that my feet were firmly on the ground.

She took a deep breath and felt her leg muscles were a little weak, but the desire to regain control of her body supported her.

They moved slowly, each step cautious and heavy.

Zhou Jianxing put his arms on the shoulders of the two men and slowly moved forward with the help of their force.

After walking a few steps, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his breathing became a little rapid.

"I feel much better," Zhou Jianxing stopped and said, "Let me try it myself."

She is optimistic about the speed of her recovery and feels that she does not need to rely entirely on others for support.

Zhou Shufen hesitated and looked at Wen Lingyi.

Wen Lingyi frowned slightly, but slowly let go of her hand.

But his arms were still half-circled around Zhou Jianxing, ready at any time.

Seeing this, Zhou Shufen also carefully withdrew her force.

The moment he lost his support, Zhou Jianxing tried to stand on his own, but his weak legs could not bear the weight of his body.

His knees gave way and he fell forward without warning.

She didn't even have time to scream before she fell heavily onto the cold, hard tiles.

The dull pain of the impact and the subsequent intense pulling sensation from the wounds in her chest and abdomen made her vision go black in an instant and she gasped.

She curled up on the ground, not daring to move, even her breathing became cautious, but she had no strength to get up.

Zhou Jianjun returned to City C early for work at his unit, and now there were only three of them in the ward.

Zhou Shufen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She rushed to the bedside and hurriedly pressed the call bell several times.

Wen Lingyi squatted down, protecting Zhou Jianxing's side with one hand, and gently lifted the hospital gown with the other hand, nervously checking the gauze and the wound.

Fortunately, the white dressing was still clean, with no fresh blood seeping out.

Her tense shoulders finally relaxed slightly and she let out a long sigh.

The hospital was busier than I could have imagined. After pressing the call bell, I waited for a long time but no nurse showed up.

Zhou Jianxing lay on the ground, his body beginning to tremble slightly, and the cool air from the floor seeped in through his thin hospital gown.

Wen Lingyi was worried that she would catch a cold. She looked at Zhou Jianxing's pale face, then looked at the door which was still silent, and gritted her teeth.

"Try it, I'll carry you back." Wen Lingyi whispered, adjusting her posture.

Zhou Jianxing was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He obediently raised his two weak and thin arms and wrapped them around Wen Lingyi's neck.

Using her waist to exert force, Wen Lingyi passed her arms through Zhou Jianxing's legs and back, trying to lift her off the ground.

The moment Wen Lingyi stood up, he was even a little bit unbelievable.

She really picked up Zhou Jianxing, and although she was a little shaky, her steps were steady.

Long-term bed rest and fasting made Zhou Jianxing very thin, and his bones poked Wen Lingyi's arms and chest, causing obvious pain.

Zhou Jianxing snuggled up in her arms, his head resting on her shoulder, breathing weakly.

Wen Lingyi walked step by step to the bed, carefully put her back on the soft mattress, and covered her with a quilt.

After doing all this, she felt her arms and back slightly sore from the exertion. She lowered her head in a daze and stared at her slightly trembling hands.

At the same time, a sour feeling slowly accumulates in the heart.

"It's okay." Instead, Zhou Jianxing recovered and looked at Wen Lingyi's tense face. He comforted her in a low voice and even tried to force out a relaxed smile.

"I just can't eat a lot of things right now. When I get better, I'll take you to eat that time-honored roast duck restaurant. I've been lying in bed lately, and all I can think about is that one bite."

Wen Lingyi didn't say anything, just nodded and reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for her.

After a while, the nurse came hurriedly, checked Zhou Jianxing's condition, confirmed that the wound was not serious, and reminded him to practice walking step by step, and then left in a hurry.

·

After lunch, with the support of the two, Zhou Jianxing tried to walk back and forth in the ward again.

This time she didn't try to be brave, but relied entirely on the strength of the two of them, taking every step with extreme caution.

After the practice, Zhou Shufen went for a nap, leaving Wen Lingyi to take care of her.

Wen Lingyi opened the laptop she brought with her, placed it on the small table by the window and began to process the backlog of work.

Zhou Jianxing leaned boredly against the raised headboard, picked up his cell phone and started scrolling aimlessly.

Until this moment, she had not taken the initiative to search for information related to the incident.

After the incident, many media outlets contacted her through various channels, hoping to conduct interviews and reports, but she declined them all.

She has always been very clear about her own positioning: she is just a kind-hearted ordinary person.

I just want to live a quiet and ordinary life and don’t want my private life to be overly concerned or disturbed.

She felt that she did not have any heroic complex. She rushed forward more out of an unthinking instinct and impulse, even a little reckless.

Even if it wasn't her that day, she believed that someone else would be the first to step forward.

In Zhou Jianxing's initial imagination, she should have bravely rushed forward, fought fiercely with the gangster, and finally snatched the knife with her bare hands.

Like a well-trained police officer, he subdued the criminal with a beautiful grappling move, pressing his knee against his back and handcuffing his hands behind his back.

However, the reality was obviously much more cruel and embarrassing than she had imagined.

She clicked on a widely shared eyewitness video that had received an astonishing number of views.

The photographer's camera was as steady as professional equipment, following her movements throughout the whole process without shaking or out of focus. He recorded the entire process in the boiling crowd like a war correspondent.

It would be a waste of talent if I didn't work as a cameraman. Zhou Jianxing watched the video and felt happy.

I didn't expect that she also had such clear straight-shot videos.

She saw herself in the picture rushing out, narrowly avoiding the fatal first knife, then getting up and wrestling with the other person.

Then there was the scene of the cold blade piercing into the body one after another.

She saw the man being knocked down and beaten by the crowd that rushed up from behind.

She saw the kind-hearted doctor, whom she had never met before and whose clothes were half stained with her blood, kneeling on the ground giving her emergency treatment.

She saw countless people surrounding her.

Some people anxiously made repeated phone calls, some squatted beside her and kept talking to her to prevent her from fainting, some people watched over her scattered personal belongings, and some people spontaneously maintained order and cleared a life-saving passage for the rushing ambulance.

Looking at these pictures, Zhou Jianxing felt warm in his heart and his nose felt a little sour.

After all, there are more kind and brave people in this world.

However, when she slid her finger down and clicked on the comment section below the video, she found that it was a completely different world, full of monsters and demons, and all kinds of noisy voices.

…

These highly praised comments are still normal, but the more you scroll down, the style becomes gradually weird.

All kinds of disgusting remarks and unfounded speculations began to appear, and the arguments below were often chaotic.

User @Feminist Observer

Beware of the female hero narrative! Why do all reports deliberately ignore the fact that over 70% of the first wave of people rushing forward were men? Is this a deliberate attempt to erase the contributions of men?

Hot comment @就吃香菜: Is the 蝻宝 trying to make a name for yourself again? I didn't see you guys when you were saving people, but you jumped higher than anyone else when the credit was shared?

Women are not as strong as men. Look, what's the point of being tall?

Hot comment @Red Sandals: If you are so good at bragging, why don’t you just fight with your bare hands? The power of the keyboard is quite strong.

User @吃瓜网765423

Let's disperse, everyone with a discerning eye can see that the whole thing is just a hype directed and acted by this female team. Wait, the next step is to start live streaming to sell goods and brainwash people.

…

Zhou Jianxing read these malicious comments with an expressionless face, but his mentality was surprisingly calm.

She refreshed the page and a new one popped up.

Latest reply to @明星哺育者: I suggest you frame your father’s gold-rimmed medical record of late-stage syphilis and use it to trend. After all, the rubbish heirlooms need to be shown to the public.

Zhou Jianxing's fingers paused for a moment. She turned her head and looked at Wen Lingyi, who was sitting in front of the laptop by the window with a focused expression.

The keyboard was pounding with rapid and forceful tapping.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and noticed that Wen Lingyi's eyebrows were squeezed together, the vertical wrinkle was deep enough to kill a fly, and her whole body seemed a little low.

"Sister Wen." Zhou Jianxing put down his phone and called softly.

The nimble fingers tapping on the keyboard suddenly stopped.

Wen Lingyi closed the computer, stood up, walked quickly to Zhou Jianxing's bed and sat down.

"What's wrong?" Wen Lingyi's voice was very gentle. "Do you want to go to the bathroom? Or are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Zhou Jianxing reached out and gently took Wen Lingyi's left ring finger, shaking it in his palm. "You don't have to be angry with them."

"What?" Wen Lingyi was stunned for a moment, confusion in her eyes.

"I mean, there's no need to argue with those strangers online," Zhou Jianxing's eyes curved slightly, forming a gentle arc. "What a waste of time. I don't care what they say."

Wen Lingyi's ring finger gently hooked Zhou Jianxing's palm.

She was silent for a few seconds, then took the phone in front of Zhou Jianxing, the screen was still on.

I immediately saw the latest reply from the person named "Star Breeder", and those harsh and extremely vicious words caught my eye.

Her cheeks felt slightly hot, and Wen Lingyi felt embarrassed and awkward as if her other side had been seen.

She was even a little afraid that it would destroy her good image in Zhou Jianxing's mind.

"Read less of these meaningless things in the future." Wen Lingyi quickly cleared all the programs running in the background of her phone, locked the screen, and her tone became hard.

"There are so many bad people on the internet who rely on venting their anger to gain a sense of existence. In real life, everyone is very nice and likes you very much."

She tried to change the subject, her voice softening. "Every time I go to the nurses' station, the girls are so welcoming. They even give me fruit and snacks and ask me to bring them back for you." She put the phone back next to Zhou Jianxing. "I'm all in your good graces."

"I'm really fine. I won't be angry about those things." Zhou Jianxing raised his hand and gently stroked Wen Lingyi's still furrowed brows with his fingertips, trying to smooth out the deep wrinkles. "I just don't want to see you unhappy because of these things."

Her tone was calm: "After a while, no one will talk about this anymore. The hot topic will eventually pass."

"What matters most is how we feel about each other, isn't it?"

"It's not worth getting angry over someone who has nothing to do with you."

Wen Lingyi looked at Zhou Jianxing's calm and gentle face and sighed silently in her heart.

This little fool had an excessively good temper, and was so tolerant that she felt both distressed and helpless.

"Okay, I promise you." Wen Lingyi finally compromised, reached out and gently pinched Zhou Jianxing's cheek.

The skin touched by the fingertips was not very fleshy, and I could only pinch a layer of skin.
