What should have been a great match turned into a major disaster.
Lin Ye and Luo Chunlei, who were injured, were taken to the hospital.
The others, shielded by the two men, were not cut by the glass, but they were still quite frightened.
Those who initially praised the two artists' work have begun to criticize it, saying that it is a disgrace to have such an unsafe structure built.
Newspapers quickly published footage of the explosion, which was quite sarcastic towards Lin Ye's design.
Lin Ye and Luo Chunlei, however, had no energy to deal with the negative public opinion. With their backs pierced by glass shards, they lay on the bed, comforting each other.
"Brother Ye, we're famous now. Our names are even in the newspapers."
Luo Chunlei, unusually, cracked a joke.
Lin Ye smiled wryly: "Our preparations were quite thorough, but we didn't consider the impact of high-frequency sounds on the glass's vibration resistance limit. It's a case of being too careful to overlook something!"
Elaine Chao and Lin Chunhua brought their three babies to the ward to visit the two injured people who were still joking with each other.
Lin Ye was usually closest to Miao Miao, but now he could only watch her helplessly, unable to move.
"Daddy, are you going to die?" Miaomiao cried uncontrollably when she saw the bloodstains on his back.
Elaine Chao also wiped away her tears.
"What should we do? Wanqing is probably still on the train, and we can't inform her."
Lin Ye quickly interrupted her:
"Mom, please don't tell her. Let her do what she wants. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
In the ward, Han Dongsheng, Han Lei and others came to visit one after another, and the small ward was crowded with people.
Of course, Han Xue was also standing in the crowd.
She was actually quite grateful to Luo Chunlei.
If he hadn't stepped forward, shielded her, and held her in his arms, she would be the one lying in bed.
Actually, she had met her second brother, Han Lei, once before when she was looking for him.
At that time, she felt that the boy had a resolute face and didn't talk much, but he touched her heart slightly.
However, Han Lei told her that he was very close to Lin Xiaocui, and that the two were childhood sweethearts. She guessed that he wanted to pursue her, so she gave up the idea of getting to know him.
Looking around the ward, she couldn't find Lin Xiaocui. She was wondering why she wasn't there to keep her company at such a crucial time.
After a while, the nurse entered the ward and found a crowd gathered around. She quickly asked them to leave.
"One or two family members are enough for each bed; the patient needs to rest."
Lin Chunhua stayed to take care of Lin Ye, and then asked Zhao Xiaolan to bring Lin Xiaocui over.
Luo Chunlei is so badly injured, he should put aside all his work and take care of the patient.
Zhao Xiaolan readily agreed, while Han Xue, standing to the side, fidgeted with the hem of her clothes and tentatively said:
"Auntie, he was injured while saving me. Why don't I stay and take care of him?"
Zhao Xiaolan nodded suspiciously, said nothing, and left the ward with her three children.
She still called Lin Xiaocui, but her colleague answered and said that Lin Xiaocui had gone out for an interview.
Journalists were in high demand in this era. Capable journalists who could uncover big news stories could earn one or two thousand yuan a month.
Lin Xiaocui was incredibly hardworking; she never stayed in the office except when she was writing articles.
She didn't receive a call, so she naturally didn't hear about Lin Ye and Luo Chunlei's injuries. She only found out about it when she returned to the newspaper office that evening.
When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Han Xue helping Luo Chunlei wipe his body.
"Brother, Chunlei, how could something like this happen to your work?"
When Lin Xiaocui came in, the first thing she did was to inquire about the artwork.
As for their injuries, she glanced at them and estimated they would heal in about a week.
During her time as a journalist, she witnessed too many injuries like this, so she didn't think their injuries were that serious.
Lin Chunhua frowned and said:
"Xiao Cui, why don't you care about your injuries?"
"How could we not care? On the way here, I already thought about it. Someone must have deliberately used a loud sound to shatter the glass. We need to report it to the police as soon as possible and find that person," Lin Xiaocui said with a smile.
Luo Chunlei looked at her calmly: "I think Xiao Cui is right. If it weren't for Ye Ge and me blocking the way, we wouldn't be the only ones who would have been injured."
Han Xue paused, her face flushed.
"I'll tell my dad right away and report it to the police immediately."
She put the towel into the basin, then hurriedly left the ward with the basin in her hand.
"Oh dear, we were all panicked after the accident. We didn't expect this at all. It was Xiao Cui who was quick-witted," Lin Ye said with a smile.
At that moment, Lin Xiaocui inadvertently saw the evening newspaper on the table, with the scene of the explosion prominently displayed on the front page.
"They've gone too far! Even if the glass shattered, it's not your fault, yet they wrote about you like this!" Lin Xiaocui knew that many newspapers these days would deliberately exaggerate the facts to grab attention.
With such reports coming out, Lin Ye and Luo Chunlei's professional careers are about to end before they've even begun.
"I will definitely find the person who wrote this report and make him clarify things."
Lin Xiaocui angrily threw down the newspaper and hurriedly left.
Luo Chunlei watched her departing figure, his eyes darkening.
How he wished that Xiao Cui was by his side, but he didn't know when it started, they had already gone far away on their own paths.
Since Lin Xiaocui started working, she has been very busy every day, and the number of times she sees him has become less and less, and the content of their conversations has become trivial.
She was like a gust of wind, fast and fiery, something he couldn't control or follow.
Thinking about all this, he could only smile wryly and spend all his time on architectural design.
He asked a classmate to bring over one of his design drawings. He hadn't had time to properly revise the drawings before, but now he finally had time to improve them.
Although he knew that his future was now very uncertain.
"Your drawings are really beautiful." Han Xue brought over a boxed lunch and saw the notebook in Luo Chunlei's hand.
This young man, two years younger than me and only in his early twenties, truly lives up to his reputation as a top student from Tsinghua University; he is indeed talented.
Luo Chunlei glanced at the wall clock and realized it was already past nine o'clock at night. He wondered:
Why didn't you go home?
“I promised to take care of you, how can I go back? I’ll just make do in the ward tonight.”
Han Xue smiled gently, revealing two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.
Lin Chunhua felt quite embarrassed when she saw that she had brought a late-night snack.
"Anyway, they're sharing a room, so I can take care of them by myself. You can go back now!"
She is, after all, the eldest daughter of the Han family. She had never stayed up all night before, but now that she was staying up all night, she couldn't get a good rest. The nurses would come to check on her at certain times, and the small light in the room couldn't be turned off, making the sleeping environment terrible.
"It's okay, I'll try my best to overcome it." Han Xue did not back down.
Since you've already said it, you should keep your word, otherwise you'll really treat her like a pampered princess.
