The ward was completely silent.
When everyone arrived, they saw Ji Yuzhi sitting by the hospital bed, his elbows resting on the bed, his hands cupping Zhen Tian's hands and pressing them against his forehead.
"How is Tian Tian?" Lu Ti asked, panting heavily. She was still wearing her pajama bottoms, unlike her usual glamorous self.
She walked to the bedside and tenderly touched her daughter's face.
Ji Yuzhi spotted Zhen Yan in the crowd and handed him the diagnosis report he had just received: "Brother, can you think of a way?"
He rarely called Zhen Hong "brother," so when he suddenly heard him call him that, Zhen Hong's heart trembled twice.
As Zhen Hong looked at the diagnosis report, she explained to her family in the ward, "Tendon injury...it's possible that my little sister won't be able to dance anymore."
He was a doctor, and he could glean a great deal from this thin diagnosis.
"Huh?" Ye Qingyan was a little dumbfounded. She didn't know how it could be so serious.
"Damn it, is this how you two look after your little sister?" Lu Lin grabbed Lu Yiran by the collar, his eyes fierce. "I'd rather see for myself. You say I'm not good enough? I think you're the ones who are not good enough."
Lu Yiran lowered his eyes and said nothing, letting Lu Lin pull him along.
"Alright, Lu Lin, let go of your brother." Lu Xian walked over and patted Lu Lin's shoulder, easily pulling his hand away.
"Fourth Uncle!"
"What's all the fuss about? Quiet down." Lu Kai was the most composed and also the most difficult to deal with among these older brothers and uncles. As soon as he spoke, Lu Lin reluctantly gave in and dared not utter a sound.
"Big brother, do you have any ideas...?"
Ji Yuzhi was still staring at Zhen Yan, trying to get some affirmation from him.
All eyes were on him.
Zhen Yan knew what was going on, but seeing the hopeful eyes of his uncle and aunt, and Ji Yuzhi's pleading expression, he couldn't bear to say anything discouraging.
"I'll try to think of a way," Zhen Yan sighed finally, "but don't get your hopes up too high. A full recovery is impossible."
It was Zhen Lei, the elder, who was the first to react. He forced a smile and said, "Don't feel pressured. I'm relieved that Tian Tian is alright."
"Ah, right." Lu Ti rubbed her reddened eyes: "If we can't dance, we can cultivate other hobbies for Tian Tian. It's okay if she can't dance."
Lu Ti has always been very optimistic, and Zhen Tian is mostly like her.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Lu Yinuo and Zhen Yan, who had been silent until now, nodded and then said in unison.
"I can teach Tian Tian to draw."
“I can teach Sweetie to code.”
The two exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, Tian Tian has our support, so she can do whatever she wants. It's okay."
“How can that be the same? Little sister has persisted for so long…” Lu Lin was about to continue speaking when Lu Kai suddenly covered his mouth.
It seems you still haven't learned what to say and what not to say.
Lu Kai's gaze alone was enough to intimidate Lu Lin.
"Yuzhi and Yiran, don't overthink it. Tiantian's injury has nothing to do with you. Hmm?" Zhen Lei noticed that among everyone in the room, only the two of them couldn't hide their sadness and guilt.
It's easy to guess, because they are of similar age, they are the closest people to Tian Tian.
"It's alright, Uncle." Lu Yiran shook his head. He understood everything, but he felt sorry for his younger sister.
The one who must be the most heartbroken is probably the man who stayed by his sister's side the whole time, without moving an inch.
Yuan Yuan and Ye Qingyan stood quietly in the corner, both envious of Tian Tian for having so many people care about and love her, and worried about Tian Tian's condition.
“You two are Tian Tian’s best friends, right?” Lu Xian said. He had met Ye Qingyan before, but he hadn’t met the other girl. However, as someone a generation older than her, he felt he had to be considerate.
"Yes." The two nodded.
Lu Xian glanced at his watch: "It's getting late, your families must be worried. Here's what we'll do, Lu Yinuo, Zhen Yan, you two go and take them all back."
"No need, I can call a driver, it's no trouble. I'll take Yuanyuan home." Ye Qingyan quickly waved her hand; they couldn't stay, nor could they cause any trouble.
"Of course." Lu Xian had been an official for a long time and had a decisive and efficient style.
Lu Yinuo and Zhen Yan were already getting the car keys, and Ye Qingyan and Yuan Yuan exchanged a glance but didn't refuse again.
“I’m going too.” Lu Lin pulled his clothes over his shoulder. “I’m going out for some fresh air. Call me if my little sister wakes up.”
Lu Lin was the first to step out of the ward. He was very angry, but he didn't know why he was angry.
He felt sorry for his younger sister; he didn't know how heartbroken Tian Tian would be if she woke up and found out the news.
Lu Lin got into the car that Zhen Yan was taking Yuan Yuan to. When they passed a supermarket, he asked Zhen Yan to stop for a moment and then went into the supermarket alone.
The night was cold and the wind was biting.
Yuan Yuan watched Lu Lin's slender figure walk into the supermarket, blinked, and seemed to be deep in thought.
Lu Lin walked into the supermarket and browsed the candy section.
When I went out to pay, I took another pack of cigarettes.
He stood at the supermarket entrance, puffing out smoke while carrying two shopping bags in his left hand and holding a cigarette in his right.
He took two puffs, stubbed out his cigarette, threw it in the trash can, and got back into his car.
Although Zhen Yan and Lu Lin are nine years apart in age, they have always had a good relationship.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell on you?" Zhen Yan started the car again.
"Oh."
Lu Lin chuckled mockingly, took a bag from his hand, and handed it to the back seat: "Take this."
Yuan hesitated before taking the bag, which was full of candy.
"You and your friend must have been shocked. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought some candy that Tian Tian likes. I thought you little girls would like it."
Yuan Yuan was surprised when she quietly said thank you.
"You're welcome. Please take good care of Tian Tian for us."
Lu Lin threw the cigarette pack into the drawer in front of the passenger seat, then covered his face with his clothes.
While the light was red, Zhen Yan pulled his shirt off and said, "If you want to suffocate, don't do it in my car. Also, you're still young, so smoke less."
"Aren't those cigarettes yours?" Lu Lin raised an eyebrow with a wicked grin. "The cigarette pack is in your car."
"You brat." Zhen Yan smacked him on the head.
Yuan Yuan opened a single milk candy from the bag and popped it into her mouth. It was very sweet, but a bitter feeling welled up inside her.
It turns out that not all brothers look the same.
She stared blankly at Lu Lin's back.
They dropped Yuanyuan off at the bottom of the apartment building before leaving.
Meanwhile, Lu Yinuo also returned to the ward.
I didn't dare show my shock in front of my sister's classmates, but I made no attempt to hide it from my family.
He took off his coat and shouted to the people in the ward, "Sweetie's classmate is amazing! Her house... no, that's not a house, it's an estate."
He described the appearance of Ye Qingyan's home, which even made Ji Yuzhi turn his head to look at him.
"Is this kid from a very wealthy family?"
