After Lu Lin calmed down, he turned around and bowed deeply to his teammates.
"I'm sorry everyone. I've caused you all a lot of trouble today because of my personal matters. I will make it up to you in the upcoming matches."
"Hey... what are you doing?"
"We're all brothers, why are you saying such things?"
"Are we still brothers?"
"I'm glad you're alright."
"However..." The support player, seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
Lu Lin paused for a moment, hesitant to speak.
Yuan Yuan came to his rescue: "Lu Lin's sister is in City B, she was just rescued from the center of the earthquake zone."
"Holy crap."
"You should have said so earlier."
"Such a big thing has upset you so much. How are you now?"
Amidst everyone's concerned inquiries, Lu Lin smiled and said, "I just found out I was rescued."
"Thank goodness."
"How lucky."
"Your brothers don't blame you, so don't blame yourself."
That's one good thing about MG; they laugh off any grudges or resentments and never hold grudges.
Yuan Yuan smiled as she watched everyone surround Lu Lin, then took two steps back.
Once everyone noticed the original garden, ideas started to come alive.
"But... why did you hug our Sister Yuan just now?" The support scratched his head.
Lu Lin and Yuan Yuan stood frozen in place.
They haven't told the rest of the team about their relationship yet.
“Ah… that…” Lu Lin’s eyes kept glancing at Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan was more composed. She coughed and said, "Tian Tian is my best friend. We were high school classmates."
"Oh! I see. No wonder you two were happier hugging than anyone else."
The support player is a kid who's good at grasping key points, but also a naive kid who's easily fooled.
Yuan Yuan and Lu Lin exchanged a glance and chuckled to themselves.
The coach stared at the two of them, his eyes narrowed slightly.
...
Zhen Tian was taken to the hospital, and Ji Yuzhi was also taken away with her.
Ye Qingyan had been staring at this side when she suddenly noticed Yang Tao lingering outside.
"Peach!" She scrambled to her feet and ran towards the starfruit.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yang Tao turned around and saw Ye Qingyan running towards her.
"Qingyan..."
The two embraced and wept bitterly.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" Ye Qingyan asked, her eyes brimming with tears, as she examined Yang Tao's body from head to toe. Her clothes were tattered, and there must be many wounds underneath.
"It's just superficial wounds, nothing serious." Yang Tao held back her tears.
"Why is it just you? Where's Tian Tian?" Ye Qingyan quickly asked, "Where is she? Aren't you two together?"
"She was seriously injured while saving me and was just taken to the hospital." Yang Tao squeezed Ye Qingyan's arm. "I want to go too, but they won't let me."
"Injured? Very seriously? Is your life in danger?" Ye Qingyan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and almost lost her balance.
"I don't know," Yang Tao said, wiping away her tears.
"No, let's go find Sweetie."
“How are we going to get there? There’s no transportation available, and you don’t even know which hospital she’s in.”
Ye Qingyan was pulled back by Huo Qingming.
"I have a way, I'm sure I have a way." Ye Qingyan patted her head: "Ye Qingyan, you can think of a way, think of one quickly."
She pounded her head harder and harder with each strike of her hand.
"Qingyan, please don't do this."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it."
Ye Qingyan searched everywhere. She remembered that one day she parked her car on the side of the road and was driven back to her hotel by her agent. The car should have been parked on the side of the road all along; that place was very open and might not have been affected.
As she thought about it, she quickly rummaged through her bag.
"No, no!"
Damn it, she left the keys at the hotel.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Ye Qingyan was angry with herself, and the tightness in her chest kept weighing on her.
"If something happens to Tian Tian, how am I supposed to face her?" Ye Qingyan squatted down and started crying again.
"Qingyan, Tiantian will be alright. Your idol is here. He'll find a way." Yang Tao squatted down to comfort her. "Besides, we don't blame you. What does the earthquake have to do with you?"
"It's not that you wouldn't come if it weren't for me."
"We weren't forced to come. We came voluntarily to see your first performance. Because we're good friends..."
Huo Qingming hesitated for a moment, but still left.
When we get back.
"Let's go to the hospital."
"You've found the car."
"Um."
No one cared how Huo Qingming found the car; they took it to the hospital.
Even the name of the hospital was something Huo Qingming had to ask for.
Ye Qingyan's heart was completely tied to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, they learned that Ji Yuzhi had also been brought there.
"No wonder he looked terrible when he saw my idol." Yang Tao was shocked when she learned that Ji Yuzhi had almost developed pneumonia: "Even in that condition, my idol still came."
"Brother Ji is always like this." He puts Tian Tian first. Ye Qingyan wasn't surprised.
Outside the operating room, doctors and nurses came and went.
The three men stood guard at the door.
"Are you out yet?" Ji Yuzhi, with an IV drip in his arm, dragged the IV stand to the door of the operating room.
"My idol, why are you out here?" Yang Tao quickly stepped forward: "Sweetie hasn't come out yet."
When Ye Qingyan saw Ji Yuzhi, her first thought was to shrink back; she was afraid of seeing him.
"Sit down and rest," Yang Tao said, pointing to a chair nearby, which conveniently exposed Ye Qingyan.
"It's nothing." Ji Yuzhi's lips were pale, and he shook his head weakly.
Ye Qingyan saw his palm; the blood had scabbed over, and small pebbles were mixed in.
"Brother Ji, I'm sorry." She suddenly stood up and pursed her lips.
"Why apologize?" Ji Yuzhi slowly sat down.
“If it weren’t for me, Sweetie, you wouldn’t have had to suffer like this, and you wouldn’t have…” She pointed to his palm, which was bloodied and mangled from being cut by sharp stones: “…injured.”
Did you cause the earthquake?
"no?"
"You deliberately pushed Tian Tian, causing her to be buried under rubble in the hotel?"
"Of course not, how could I!"
"That settles it."
Ji Yuzhi spoke with great difficulty, but he knew that if he didn't speak now, he might cause a girl a lifetime of pain. Moreover, this girl was the best friend of the person he loved.
No one blames you.
He added another sentence.
Ye Qingyan burst into tears in Huo Qingming's arms.
No one could tell her it was okay, that they didn't blame her, but none of those words were as powerful as Ji Yuzhi's. She knew all too well how much Ji Yuzhi meant to her, and she knew that if Ji Yuzhi didn't blame her, Tian Tian certainly wouldn't.
Huo Qingming remained silent throughout, holding Ye Qingyan, seemingly lost in thought.
After Ye Qingyan finished crying, she pointed at Ji Yuzhi's hand, not daring to touch it because he was her friend's boyfriend: "Brother Ji, you should go and take care of this. We'll take care of Tiantian here."
"No need, it's alright."
Ji Yuzhi glanced down at it; what was a little pain?
