However, despite Lin Xiaoman’s casual words, when she returned to the radio station, she was drenched in sweat, her complexion even paler and weaker than before leaving the hospital.
Wei Qinghuan saw her state and with a stern face, only allowed her to sit and watch, forbidding her from moving a step.
Lin Xiaoman refused to listen, so Wei Qinghuan rolled up her sleeves and threatened: “Don’t provoke me. I’m the national high school women’s judo champion!”
Lin Xiaoman felt warmth in her heart and didn’t argue, obediently resting on the side and offering suggestions.
Wei Qinghuan was impressive. After practicing all night, she not only improved her performance but could also guide everyone in her place without problem.
After a day of training, the team members who saw the recording video all breathed a sigh of relief.
“But…” a teammate looked worriedly at Lin Xiaoman’s severely swollen ankle, “How will you go on stage tomorrow?”
Their dance was a team competition, and Lin Xiaoman must participate. Although they could assign her simpler moves, with her current injury, walking was difficult, let alone dancing?
“It’s fine,” Lin Xiaoman smiled and comforted, “I’ll be better after a night’s sleep.”
“Tell the program team that we’ll do your part,” Wei Qinghuan didn’t believe her. How could an ankle swollen like a steamed bun be okay?
Their dance would be scored by the judges, with the average score determining their ranking. The goal was to cultivate team spirit, as they would ultimately debut as a team. So losing one member would be fatal for the others.
Lin Xiaoman understood this and absolutely wouldn’t agree: “I won’t let my injury drag down your scores.”
“Without you, our dance wouldn’t be what it is now,” the others said.
“Don’t worry.”
Lin Xiaoman smiled slightly. Even with an injury, not everything was terrible. At least she discovered everyone still cared about her. However, she still shook her head and refused: “This would be too unfair to everyone. Not protecting myself during the competition is my problem and shouldn’t be something you bear the consequences for.”
“Xiaoman—”
Wei Qinghuan wanted to say more, but Lin Xiaoman interrupted her: “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way.”
