“Make her answer the phone, now.” His voice was cold and decisive, leaving no room for argument. I felt uneasy hearing him speak this way.
I almost reflexively took the phone from Yu Yin’s hand. “Senior brother… I have something to do right now, I’ll be back soon.”
“Where are you?” His tone warmed immediately. “You said you’d be back soon, so why are you with her?”
Although his tone was much better, the memory of his previous tone lingered, making me feel fearful, so I confessed, “I crossed the red light when crossing the street and had a small accident.”
Afraid he would worry, I quickly added, “I’m not seriously hurt, just a minor scratch…”
Before I could finish, he asked, “Which hospital?”
“Feng Zhong Hospital,” I replied.
“Wait for me,” he said, then hung up.
Feng Zhong Hospital was close to our international student apartment. I estimated he would take ten minutes to arrive, but he showed up in seven.
He checked my wounds thoroughly and consulted the doctor about my condition.
After speaking with the doctor, he finally asked, “How did you get hurt?”
As he asked, he glanced at Yu Yin, seemingly certain this incident was related to her.
“It has nothing to do with Yu Yin. I ran a red light, and she braked in time and didn’t hit me.” To ease his worry, I laughed, “Otherwise, the tutoring fees I owe you would have to wait until the next life.”
He wanted to say something but couldn’t, so he hugged me instead.
He hugged me tightly, pressing on my wound, but I didn’t feel pain at all, only immense happiness.
Yu Yin stood watching us, expressionless, like a fairy at the horizon, gazing desolately at the joys and sorrows of love in the mortal world.
Tears were forming in her eyes, suggesting she was remembering someone.
Under the unanimous decision of Ye Zhengchen and Yu Yin, I was forced to stay in the hospital for a week of observation and recovery. Yu Yin covered the hospitalization expenses not paid by medical insurance. I told Ye Zhengchen that this accident was not Yu Yin’s fault and asked him to help me return the money to her. He coldly replied, “Mm.”
