Chapter 185 Became a Vegetable
As Jiang Ning expected, Gu Lanlan indeed brought beer and snacks to go with it.
During the phone call, Jiang Ning did not tell Gu Lanlan that Bai Yichen had woken up and come to see her.
She only said that she would see her old classmates whom she hadn't seen in a long time at her house.
Jiang Ning's original intention was to give Gu Lanlan a surprise.
When Gu Lanlan knocked on the door, Bai Yichen opened it.
Upon seeing the living Bai Yichen, Gu Lanlan let out a scream that shook heaven and earth.
"Sister, I'll get complaints from the neighbors."
Jiang Ning was on the verge of tears.
If she had known Gu Lanlan would react this way, she would have been better off explaining things clearly on the phone beforehand and giving Gu Lanlan some mental preparation.
What turned out to be less of a surprise and more of a horror.
Bai Yichen also couldn't quite understand Gu Lanlan's reaction.
"Lanlan, I woke up from a vegetative state, not came back to life. You don't need to be so scared, do you?"
Gu Lanlan stared wide-eyed, first pinching Bai Yichen's face, then slapping him on the head.
Then ask, "Does it hurt?"
"Lanlan!"
Jiang Ning couldn't help but yell at Gu Lanlan from the side.
Bai Yichen was recovering from a serious illness, so it was practically like he had been brought back from the dead.
She was afraid that Gu Lanlan would cause Bai Yichen any lasting damage.
"Aren't your hands hurting from using so much force?"
Bai Yichen asked back, both amused and exasperated.
Even now, Gu Lanlan still can't believe her eyes.
The person standing in front of her was Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen is alive and well.
Although Bai Yichen said he woke up from a vegetative state rather than being resurrected, Gu Lanlan thought the two situations were not much different.
The three of them sat down in the small living room and chatted while drinking.
Bai Yichen was Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan's high school classmate.
Jiang Ning attended high school in City B. By the time she started high school, she had changed from Lin Chu to Jiang Ning.
Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan are her best friends, and the three of them are a well-known group at B High School.
Because Bai Yichen is the most handsome guy at B University, and Jiang Ning is the most beautiful girl at B University.
In the eyes of all the teachers and students, Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
However, in reality, the two were not boyfriend and girlfriend.
Jiang Ning knew that Bai Yichen liked her.
Bai Yichen never hid anything from him.
He confessed his feelings to Jiang Ning, but she rejected him because she still had feelings for her first love.
Jiang Ning thought that this would mean she and Bai Yichen would no longer be able to be friends.
Bai Yichen accepted this reality quite calmly and told her that he would continue to pursue her.
Bai Yichen did the same.
Jiang Ning started learning piano in elementary school and has a natural talent for music.
Originally, she wanted to apply to a music academy in college.
During the summer vacation of their second year of high school, Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan accompanied Jiang Ning to City A to participate in a piano competition.
That piano competition changed both Jiang Ning's and Bai Yichen's lives.
"I'm sorry, Bai Yichen..."
Jiang Ning was a little tipsy; her eyes reddened and she was teary-eyed.
"I'm so sorry... If I hadn't asked you to go back to the hotel to get my amulet, you wouldn't have had the car accident, you wouldn't have..."
He became a vegetable.
Bai Yichen is not only the school heartthrob of B High School, but also the consistent number one on the school's academic ranking list. It can be said that his future is limitless.
Bai Yichen's parents are business people and come from a well-off family. They have high hopes for Bai Yichen.
If possible, they hope Bai Yichen can enter politics.
Given Bai Yichen's abilities and achievements, this is not wishful thinking.
However, that summer, Bai Yichen accompanied Jiang Ning to a piano competition. The finals were in City A, and they booked a budget hotel that wasn't too far from the venue.
On the day of the finals, Jiang Ning was waiting in the waiting area when she suddenly realized that the talisman Bai Yichen had gotten for her was left at the hotel.
Bai Yichen went to retrieve it, promising to bring the amulet over before she went on stage.
If she doesn't have time, it's okay. After Jiang Ning finishes his performance and comes off the stage, she will see him waiting for her with a talisman.
He and the amulet he specially obtained for her will surely bless Jiang Ning to win the championship.
Finally, Jiang Ning took the stage, performed as expected, and achieved the highest score of the entire event.
However, after she stepped down from the stage, she learned that Bai Yichen had been in a car accident.
Jiang Ning gave up the championship in that competition.
She rushed to the hospital and received even more devastating news—
Bai Yichen became a vegetable.
Right outside the hospital's ICU, Bai Yichen's mother physically assaulted Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning neither fought back nor dodged.
She felt she deserved to be hit.
Because of her piano competition, because of her talisman, Bai Yichen became a vegetable!
In that instant, Jiang Ning wished she were the one who had become a vegetable.
From that day on, Jiang Ning could no longer face the piano and never played it again.
She didn't apply to a music academy for university; instead, she got into the jewelry design and crafts program at University A.
Jiang Ning knew he was running away.
She felt she was carrying Bai Yichen's fate on her shoulders.
But she was unable to repay the debt.
She considered whether she should humble herself and beg the two people who had long since severed ties with her, but she also had a gut feeling that those two people wouldn't spend a single penny on her matter.
Bai Yichen's parents, especially his mother, tried to blame her for Bai Yichen's car accident that left him in a vegetative state, and kept demanding medical expenses from her.
Jiang Xiaoya didn't have much money, so Jiang Ning had to rely on himself.
She worked several part-time jobs, and no matter how much or how little money she earned, she would send money to Bai Yichen's mother every month.
It wasn't until her designs were accidentally discovered and appreciated by Brad Pitt, leading to the creation of the piano collection and her instant rise to become a darling of the fashion world, that her financial situation improved.
She transferred the entire ten million yuan dividend that FY gave her to Bai Yichen's mother.
Perhaps having tasted the benefits, Bai Yichen's mother then demanded that she send ten million yuan every year.
Jiang Ning agreed.
If money can cure Bai Yichen and alleviate her guilt, why wouldn't she do it?
"Okay, stop crying... I've woken up now."
Bai Yichen used a tissue to wipe Jiang Ning's tears, but Jiang Ning cried incessantly as if she were being affectionate with Bai Yichen.
“I accept your apology, and you’ve already paid so much for the medical expenses. If you still feel indebted to me, then you can repay me by marrying yourself.”
Knowing that Bai Yichen was joking with her, Jiang Ning stopped crying and started laughing.
Although Bai Yichen has woken up, everyone is happy.
But what if he doesn't wake up?
In fact, Jiang Ning, Gu Lanlan, Bai Yichen's parents, and everyone in B High School who heard about this did not believe that Bai Yichen had any chance of waking up.
That person is in a vegetative state!
Bai Yichen himself found it hard to believe when he woke up.
"Actually, it was you who saved me, Aning..."
Bai Yichen smiled gently, his smile refined and elegant, as warm and gentle as jade.
Jiang Ning was taken aback, then lowered his eyes and shook his head.
It seems... Bai Yichen probably already knows that she received tens of millions in medical expenses.
