Chapter 12: How did you get your hands on it?
Song Lehan suffers from depression.
Not long after breaking up with Xu Jiangcuo, Song Lehan was subjected to cyberbullying from the entire school.
As long as you open your phone, you can see posts cursing her, and they are as ugly as they can be.
Even on the way to class, someone would suddenly rush out, point at Song Lehan's nose and curse at him.
During that period, Song Lehan's nerves were always tense. She suffered from insomnia for half a month, which gave her the initial signs of depression.
The real explosion of her feelings came when she ate a piece of cake on a show and was ridiculed by the entire internet. Then, someone dug up her experience and the online criticism towards her grew even louder.
Song Lehan suffered verbal abuse for a whole year.
As a result, her depression became more severe.
From being unable to sleep at first, to having difficulty breathing, and then to having to use physical pain to relieve the psychological pain.
Song Lehan didn't want to see a psychologist, fearing she'd be caught on camera and scolded. She tried to treat her symptoms at home, but they got worse. She eventually resorted to self-harm.
Three years ago, she suddenly fainted on the set. Jiang Yue forced her to seek treatment after he learned about it.
After a year of treatment, Song Lehan gradually got better and his face showed the aura of life.
But now...
Song Lehan rubbed harder and harder, forcing the delicate flesh to break open, and blood left marks on the bark as she moved.
"You! What are you doing!?"
There were screams behind him, and dry branches were crushed by someone. Li Jialuo quickly came to Song Lehan.
She squatted down and held Song Lehan's injured hand tightly.
"Why are you doing this?" Li Jialuo carefully removed the dirt from the back of Song Lehan's hand, raised his eyes and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Song Lehan didn't say anything, but tears kept falling.
No matter how much he cared about the relationship between Song Lehan and Qi Yu before, Li Jialuo couldn't bear to see her hurt herself like this now.
"Don't cry for now. I'll take you to treat the wound." Li Jialuo gently tugged at Song Lehan. "If the wound gets inflamed, it will be serious."
Song Lehan did not resist and left with her in silence.
——
"After you finish this bottle of infusion, you can leave." The doctor left after giving the instructions, leaving only Li Jialuo and Song Lehan.
Song Lehan hadn't uttered a single word since the bandage was applied. Even when she was sweating from the pain, she refused to utter a single word.
Li Jialuo quietly observed Song Lehan's emotions and felt relieved when she realized she had calmed down. She didn't want to irritate Song Lehan anymore, so she stayed by her side quietly until the infusion was finished and then went back to the dormitory with her.
"Qi Yu and I have nothing to do with each other."
Song Lehan broke the silence and explained in a hoarse voice: "There are actually three people in that photo. It's just that for the sake of publicity, it has not been clarified."
"It's not that Qi Yu doesn't want to explain to you, it's his agent who won't allow it." Song Lehan turned his head away, somewhat helplessly, "You should know why, right?"
Li Jialuo lowered his head, scratching his nails with his fingers, and said unhappily, "I know."
Ever since she and Qi Yu got together, his agent had been very unhappy with them. She had heard Qi Yu's agent asking him to break up with her several times, but Qi Yu refused.
Later, Qi Yu was busy filming and had little time to spend with her. Over time, Li Jialuo felt very insecure. Coincidentally, at this time, she saw a photo of Qi Yu and Song Lehan and completely collapsed.
Li Jialuo and Qi Yu have been in a cold war for a week, and they have not been in contact during this period.
It seems that there is no need to explain.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Li Jialuo sighed lightly and turned the topic to Song Lehan, "Are you sick?"
The scene of the tender flesh on the back of her hand flashed through Li Jialuo's mind, and he shuddered.
If there is no psychological problem, who can be so cruel to themselves?
The concern in Li Jialuo's eyes was too intense for Song Lehan to ignore.
"I might be confused and not sure what I'm doing." After a pause, she added, "I'm sorry I scared you."
Upon hearing this, Li Jialuo quickly waved his hands and said, "You are already like this, why are you still apologizing?"
Seeing that Song Lehan didn't want to say anything, Li Jialuo tactfully didn't ask any further questions.
They tacitly agreed not to speak anymore.
On the way back, Li Jialuo received a call, so Song Lehan went back to the dormitory first.
From a distance, she saw two figures standing downstairs of the dormitory building.
One tall, one short, one male, one female.
The moment she saw Xu Jiangcuo, Song Lehan subconsciously wanted to hide her injured hand. As soon as her hand moved, she paused and then laughed at herself for being so stupid.
What a great opportunity, why not take advantage of it?
Song Lehan continued to walk forward, his eyes fixed on Ye Shuqing's hands holding Xu Jiangcuo, and his pace unconsciously quickened.
"Acuo, is this the reason you came to see me?"
When Song Lehan heard Ye Shuqing's question, he stopped.
Xu Jiangcuo took the initiative to find Ye Shuqing?
What did they say?
Song Lehan wanted to walk slower and listen to what Xu Jiangcuo would say, but unexpectedly, Ye Shuqing saw her.
Having no choice, Song Lehan could only walk towards them.
Xu Jiangcuo opened his mouth to explain, but he saw Song Lehan standing beside him, and suddenly he was speechless. Their eyes crossed and he saw her hand wrapped in gauze.
Eyes locked.
Song Lehan took a deep breath, then tilted his head to look at Xu Jiangcuo and asked with a smile: "Acuo, are you here to see me?"
No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she always remained lively in front of Xu Jiangcuo.
"No--"
"Song Lehan, I'm really fed up with your green tea attitude!"
Ye Shuqing interrupted Xu Jiangcuo and rolled his eyes at Song Lehan. Then he looked at Xu Jiangcuo again and asked sharply, "Can't you tell that she's just pretending?"
"Every time she sees you, she always pretends to love you so much. Can't you see that?"
"Why! Why can't you see other people's true heart!"
Ye Shuqing looked really hurt. After yelling this, he left without looking back.
Song Lehan didn't know what exactly happened, but she saw that Xu Jiangcuo's expression was not very good.
"Acuo..." She pursed her lips, reached out and tugged at the corner of Xu Jiangcuo's clothes, and asked softly, "Did you have a fight?"
Xu Jiangcuo lowered his head, glanced at the corner of his clothes, then raised his eyes, shook his head and said, "No."
"So...what were you guys talking about?"
"nothing."
"oh."
Seeing that Xu Jiangcuo didn't want to tell him, Song Lehan was not in the mood to ask.
In the silence, she heard him ask, "How did you do that to your hands?"
Song Lehan uttered an "ah" and hid his hands behind his back in an awkward manner, his eyes dodging. "Yes, I did it accidentally."
"Then you hide..."
Xu Jiangcuo stopped talking halfway through his words.
It was completely different from what Song Lehan thought.
He changed the subject, "Then can you still continue training?"
"Of course!" Song Lehan stretched out his hand again and waved it in the air. "Look, this is great. It won't affect training at all."
Xu Jiangcuo's gaze fell on her injured hand, staring at the blood oozing from the center of the back of her hand.
Suddenly, he grabbed Song Lehan's restless hand with a deep look in his eyes.
