The doctor rushed over to Li Shan's place and examined her injury.
Li Shan bumped her forehead and was frightened; she also got some minor scrapes on her hand, but it wasn't serious.
The adults all left with the servants, leaving only the three little girls and Li Shan's maid in the room.
Li Shan lay on the bed with her head wrapped in gauze and some bloodstains on her forehead.
Gu Xin and Gu Si stood at the foot of the bed with some guilt. Although they were not the ones who caused Li Shan's injury, Li Shan was trying to greet them!
"Sister Xinxin, Sister Sisi, I'm fine. It's just that I'm sorry, I can't play with you anymore!" Li Shan said to the two of them apologetically, her face pale.
The two sisters waved their hands repeatedly. Gu Xin pursed her lips and said, "Shanshan, I should be the one apologizing. Actually, I noticed that the wooden railing was unstable, and in my panic, I went to pull Sisi. I forgot that Sisi and I have learned kung fu, but you haven't. I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again next time!"
Li Shan smirked. "There'll be a next time? Next time, it'll definitely be you falling!"
I'm so angry!
Gu Si walked to the bedside and took Li Shan's hand: "Sister Shan, I'm sorry. I didn't think much when I fell. If I had reacted faster, I could have helped you, and maybe your forehead and hand wouldn't have been injured."
Li Shan: "..."
Those two little bitches, they really know how to put on an act!
You only care about your sisters and no one else, don't you! And you're still pretending to be all sympathetic, ugh!
Li Shan gently shook her head: "Don't say that, or I'll start crying. I've never had many friends since I was little. It's so rare to have you guys around my age. I'm so glad it was me who fell, really. If either of you had fallen, I would have felt so guilty."
Gu Xin squatted down by the bed and said sincerely, "Shanshan, we won't get hurt at all if we fall."
Li Shan: "...Oh right, you guys are amazing! Sister Xinxin, Sister Sisi, can I be your friend?"
Gu Xin and Gu Si nodded in unison: "Of course! Because we don't have any friends either!"
Li Shan smiled innocently: "Great! Then we're friends from now on!"
The three little girls all laughed.
Gu Xin noticed that although Li Shan was smiling, her complexion was indeed not good, and the doctor had just said that Li Shan needed to rest. So, they chatted with Li Shan for a few more minutes before she took her leave with Gu Si.
Li Shan turned to the side, watching the two figures leave, her hands clenching tightly under the thin blanket.
Although the situation was somewhat different from what she had expected, she had already achieved her goal. Hadn't she already become "friends" with the two of them?
She has no idea that every time she tries to get closer to Gu Xin, her fate will become more and more miserable, even worse than that of Li Muyan, who was born with a bad luck.
...
Once Gu Xin left Li Shan's Coral Cottage, her smile vanished.
Gu Si looked around and, seeing no one was following them, asked, "Sister Xin Xin, what's wrong? Are you feeling guilty?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "No, when you fell down just now, I looked at the wooden railing. The break was very clean, it was definitely not due to years of disrepair."
Gu Si was startled: "You mean, someone wants to harm Li Shan?"
Gu Xin: "It shouldn't be. The Li family is small, and there's no infighting in the inner quarters. Sister Hanhan and her sisters are quite far apart in age, so there's no infighting between them! Besides, Sisi, did you notice that Li Shan invited us today? She took the initiative to take us to all the places we went. This is only our first time playing together, and she already likes us so much that she even took us into her boudoir? When we first met, she clearly didn't want to play with us."
