Chapter 1431: Refusing to be Balanced (6)
Zhou Zhan was finally taken to the hospital by Tang Shichu. When filming, Tang Shichu saw that his ankle was as red and swollen as a pig's trotter. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhou Zhan, you are too fragile, aren't you? The car didn't even hit you, and you twisted your ankle like this?"
Zhou Zhan looked at her in amazement and opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. It was Tang Shichu who saw his expression and asked curiously, "Is there something else you can't tell me?"
Zhou Zhan closed his eyes and said expressionlessly: "The car didn't hit me, but you were too strong and pulled me away too fast. My ankle was sprained because I couldn't keep up with your speed."
"..." Tang Shichu paused and laughed awkwardly, "Haha...it turns out it's my fault. But it's better for you to sprain your ankle than to be hit by a car."
"You're right, so thank you for what happened today. You saved my life." Zhou Zhan said solemnly, "If you need any help in the future, just ask."
"You're welcome. You've helped me a lot in the past." Tang Shichu waved his hands quickly.
The doctor quickly took out the film, looked at it for a while, and said, "The bone is fine, it's just a sprained soft tissue. It will heal in ten days or half a month."
Tang Shichu breathed a sigh of relief. At least his bones were not broken and he didn't become crippled.
After the doctor gave Zhou Zhan the medicine, Tang Shichu helped him leave.
"You sprained your foot. How are you going to live these days?" Tang Shichu was a little worried about Zhou Zhan. "Can your roommate take care of you? Should he buy you a cane or a wheelchair?"
"It's just a sprain, it's not like I can't move. Just buy a cane." Zhou Zhan said without much concern, "My roommates are nice. I'll ask them for help if I need it."
"Okay then." Tang Shichu helped him buy a walking stick. After buying it, Zhou Zhan refused to let Tang Shichu help him anymore.
After finally getting back to school, it was almost nine o'clock. Tang Shichu carried the keyboard set he wanted to give to Zhou Zhan and Zhou Zhan's briefcase, and followed him to the graduate dormitory.
When we arrived at Zhou Zhan's dormitory, as soon as we entered the door, a loud voice shouted: "Oh my! Oh my! Zhou Zhan, you are finally back! We heard that you had a car accident, and we were all very worried. We called you but couldn't get through... Are you okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several boys rushed towards Zhou Zhan, touched him all over, and felt him several times, confirming that he had no missing limbs, but just sprained his ankle, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine. The call couldn't go through because my phone was out of battery." Zhou Zhan struggled to free himself from his roommates' care and sat down on his chair.
"You are so lucky! I heard that lunatic Chen Yong deliberately hit you with his car, but luckily a female hero descended from the sky and saved you... Hey, could this beautiful female classmate be the female hero who saved you?" Zhou Zhan's roommate Wang Xu finally noticed Tang Shichu who walked in behind Zhou Zhan, and asked with shining eyes.
Tang Shichu smiled at him in a friendly manner and said, "I can't say I'm a chivalrous lady. I just react a little faster and have more strength than others. My name is Tang Shichu, and I'm Zhou Zhan's...fellow villager."
"Classmate Tang, it's really thanks to you for saving Zhou Zhan, otherwise we would have lost Zhan Zhan's smart brain and the scientific community would have lost a great leader forever..." another roommate, Wang Yiming, said exaggeratedly, patting his chest.
Zhou Zhan glared at him with disdain and said, "Shut up." Then he ignored his roommates and asked Tang Shichu, "The cafeteria should be closed now. We can only order takeout. Are you going to wait here and eat with me, or go back to your dormitory?"
"I'll go back to my dormitory. You should have a good rest and be careful not to move your injured foot." Tang Shichu said tactfully. Although she was a little familiar with Zhou Zhan, she was not familiar enough to eat with him in his dormitory. Moreover, as a girl, it was not suitable for her to stay in the boys' dormitory for too long.
After Tang Shichu left, Zhou Zhan was quickly besieged by several of his roommates, who demanded that he tell the truth about his relationship with Tang Shichu...
"Zhou Zhan! That classmate Tang is not just your fellow villager, right? If she is, why haven't you seen her before?" Wang Xu said to Zhou Zhan with an expression of "I see through you".
"That's right, Zhou Zhan. With your cold personality, you don't have close contact with any female classmates, but now you are so familiar and natural with this classmate Tang. I don't believe that you are just ordinary fellow villagers!" Wang Yiming said firmly, "Which ordinary fellow villager would risk his life to save you? I heard from classmates who witnessed the car accident that the speed at which the car hit you was no joke. You were almost crushed under the wheels. If they didn't really have a good relationship with you, who would risk their life to save you?"
Zhou Zhan rubbed his forehead helplessly, not understanding why these people had such rich imaginations. He could only explain: "I have helped her a lot, and she saved me because she was grateful to me. She is planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination recently, and I gave her a lot of advice. Maybe she still needs me... You see, she wanted to give me a thank-you gift today, so she showed up at the school gate to save me at that time..."
As he said this, he pointed to the keyboard set that Tang Shichu had given him on his desk.
"What? She also gave you a gift?!" Qi Zhao immediately picked up the keyboard set and examined it carefully. "This brand of keyboard is not cheap. It costs at least a thousand. Your fellow villager is still a student. It's not easy to give you this gift, right?"
When Zhou Zhan heard Qi Zhao's words, he was stunned. He knew Tang Shichu's financial situation. As a person born in an orphanage, he had no one to rely on and had to earn all his daily needs by himself. Where did Tang Shichu get so much money to give him this gift?
"Qi Zhao, does this keyboard set really cost over a thousand dollars?" Zhou Zhan confirmed with Qi Zhao.
Without saying anything, Qi Zhao took a photo of the keyboard set and went to a shopping website to look for the same model. He quickly found this brand of keyboard and handed it to Zhou Zhan, saying, "Look, this is the one. It costs more than 2,000 yuan. I'm not lying to you."
"This shouldn't be a pirated copy, it's an authentic copy." Wang Yiming also came over, unpacked it and observed it carefully before coming to the conclusion, "It seems like your fellow villager is quite generous to you."
Zhou Zhan saw the shopping website page on Qi Zhao’s mobile phone, but his handsome brows were tightly furrowed. He wondered if Tang Shichu had saved money for a long time to be able to afford this gift, and whether he was treating himself badly for this.
He was not short of gifts, nor did he care whether Tang Shichu was grateful to him or not, but he did not want Tang Shichu to starve because of him. That really made no sense.
