Pain... It really hurt...
The moment she fell to the ground, Lin Jinran almost blacked out. She desperately grabbed the only piece of clothing fabric in front of her to cushion the fall, but it was of no avail.
With a "thud", she fell heavily to the ground. The pain made her gasp, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears, overflowing.
Just before she officially fell, Lin Jinran was still thinking that she really had no face to show herself.
She had made a fool of herself in front of the same person twice.
Who could be as "lucky" as her?
Xu Jiaxin and Shen Tingsi, who were still cheering for Lin Jinran beside the table, suddenly stood up and rushed over when they saw Lin Jinran fall.
The pain spread throughout her body. Lin Jinran took a moment to recover and heard the angry shout of the boy: "What are you doing?!"
What was she doing?
Wasn't she just rushing over to ask for his WeChat?
Lin Jinran's brain was temporarily numbed by the pain. She half - curled on the floor and struggled to open her eyes. She said, "I... I want to add you on WeChat."
Su Qinian: "..."
The two who had just rushed to the scene of the accident: "..."
Xu Jiaxin really wanted to give her childhood friend a thumbs - up. Look, she was in such a mess after the fall, and she still remembered to ask for the WeChat.
If she didn't get out of the single life, it would really be unreasonable.
Are female perverts so brave these days?
Su Qinian still held his poor pants tightly with both hands and stared at Lin Jinran warily.
"Aren't you going to let go?" Su Qinian said coldly.
He was really furious. In public, a cheeky girl had tried to pull down his pants, and she still wouldn't let go?
"No, I won't let go. What if you run away if I let go?"
Lin Jinran clung on and tugged at his pants even harder.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes wet, looking just like a little deer in the forest, extremely pitiful.
Su Qinian paused and didn't say a word.
"You still haven't given me your WeChat." Until now, Lin Jinran still remembered that she had lost a game and needed to ask for his WeChat.
Otherwise, if she went back dejectedly without getting his WeChat, wouldn't she be laughed at by her two childhood friends?
Su Qinian: "..."
She had fallen into such a mess and had been holding onto him, not letting him go. Oh yes, before that, she had sneaked into the men's restroom with him furtively and had dared to call him a "sissy".
He must have been blind to even consider giving her his WeChat.
Shen Tingsi, as an on - looker, silently gave Lin Jinran a thumbs - up.
Well done. You deserve to get out of the single life.
"Ouch, Jinran, where did you fall?"
Seeing Su Qinian's face getting darker and showing signs of impatience, Xu Jiaxin quickly stepped forward, introduced herself as Lin Jinran's good friend, and said kindly while holding back her laughter, "Jinran, let go. He won't leave for the time being."
"Really?" Lin Jinran asked.
"Really." Su Qinian said impatiently.
"Okay." Lin Jinran immediately let go and slowly got up with Xu Jiaxin's support.
Shen Tingsi handed over a few tissues for Lin Jinran to wipe the tears off her face.
People who didn't know better might think that Su Qinian had wanted to abandon Lin Jinran and had made the beauty cry.
"I'm really sorry." Lin Jinran said slowly. She looked at the boy guiltily and found that the boy was looking at her half - smiling. She quickly averted her gaze, as if there was a hungry wolf chasing her.
Su Qinian finally didn't have to hold his pants nervously anymore. He looked at Lin Jinran's friends, pointed at Lin Jinran, and said,
"She can't hold her liquor. You shouldn't take her to the KTV to act crazy everywhere. Even though this is a KTV, you should still pay attention."
Lin Jinran: "?"
Hey, when did she act crazy? Didn't she just accidentally follow him into the men's restroom and pull his pants?
He must be holding a grudge and scolding her indirectly.
Lin Jinran's focus was obviously on the first part. She glared angrily at Su Qinian, looking unconvinced.
Seeing Lin Jinran's unyielding and puffy - faced look, Su Qinian felt a bit better. He smiled faintly and said, "Why are you looking at me so lovingly? I won't give you my contact information even if you look at me."
Hey, she was clearly glaring. How did it become looking lovingly?
Was he blind?
Lin Jinran was speechless. She wanted to refute, but he didn't give her the chance.
"You guys don't look very old. Are you still in school?" Su Qinian said casually. "Put more effort into your studies. Don't always think about love." Su Qinian stared deeply at Lin Jinran, as if he was telling everyone that he was talking about Lin Jinran.
"I..." I have very good grades! Lin Jinran had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted again.
"Check how her fall is later. She hit her forehead in the restroom before. Pay attention to that." Su Qinian said to Xu Jiaxin and Shen Tingsi.
Xu Jiaxin nodded repeatedly. At the same time, a doubt emerged in her mind. How did Su Qinian know that Lin Jinran had fallen in the restroom?
Su Qinian said all he wanted to say. He turned around and walked straight away.
He was tall and his figure gradually faded away until it completely disappeared into the night.
Lin Jinran was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She waved her arms and claws in the direction where the boy had left, wishing she could drag the boy back and beat him up.
This kind of boy actually had the nerve to lecture her. He himself looked like a student! Lin Jinran thought darkly.
Don't let her meet him again!
Xu Jiaxin carefully supported Lin Jinran back to their original seats, while Shen Tingsi went to the nearby pharmacy to buy medicine for the fall.
When he came back with the medicine, he helped Lin Jinran apply it. The cold ointment on the injured area made Lin Jinran grimace in pain, which made the other two burst out laughing.
The three of them played around in the KTV for a while longer. Then Xu Jiaxin said sentimentally, "Jinran, tomorrow Tingsi and I are going back to the imperial capital. You must take good care of yourself in Wannan City."
"Don't push yourself too hard if you have any problems. We're all behind you. Auntie will definitely get better." Shen Tingsi sighed.
Lin Jinran had transferred to study in Wannan City this time because there was a doctor who was good at treating vegetative patients in the city.
And Lin Jinran's mother... had become a vegetative patient after jumping off a building when Lin Jinran was young.
Lin Jinran didn't respond to the last sentence. She nodded with a smile and said, "Come on, it's not like you won't see me again. You can come and find me when you have time. I'm sure I can take good care of myself."
Her mother would definitely get better, Lin Jinran silently thought in her heart.
The scene of her mother being forced to jump off the building many years ago flashed through her mind. Lin Jinran still smiled, but the smile was cold. Her heart was filled with tiny, wriggling bugs.
This... Xu Jiaxin and Shen Tingsi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Lin Jinran filled the cups of herself, Xu Jiaxin, and Shen Tingsi with drinks, stood up, and raised her cup. The other two also stood up.
They clinked their cups. The crystal - clear liquid rippled along the cup walls, just like the scenes of all these years in the past.
"To you, to me, and to everyone. We'll surely meet again someday. May we all have the chance to reunite!"
