Ye Zhi looked at me with a complicated expression, but I avoided her gaze and straightened my shirt, which Yang Sisi had ripped open.
"Michael, did these things really happen after I left?"
Since Yang Sisi had already said so much, I had no chance of hiding anything anymore, so I nodded and replied, "Yes..." After a slight pause, I smiled and said, "You don't need to take it to heart. When I was a kid, I often got injured in fights... It's really commonplace for me."
Yang Sisi was trembling with anger. She yelled at me, "Can you stop talking so lightly about everything? If one of those people were stupid enough to stab you to death, who would be held responsible?"

At this point, it was Coach Ma, usually a man of few words, who stepped in to smooth things over. He said to Yang Sisi, "Let bygones be bygones... Have Michael take you to Shanshuijian first. It's best to discuss your private matters privately."
After saying that, he walked over to Ye Zhi and said to her, "Like I said before, it's best to talk about your private matters in private... We've already arranged a room for you. If you still want to stay here, I'll take you there now."
I originally thought that after Yang Sisi's outburst, Ye Zhi had lost the will to stay here, but unexpectedly she nodded to Coach Ma and then handed her luggage to him.
