C56

I was still wondering if I was being too impulsive and didn't say anything. Li Rong turned his head and looked into my eyes. After a long while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao-Xiao, are you alright?"

When I came back to myself, I grinned at him and shook my head. "It's fine," I said.

Li Rong turned her head and lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a dark shadow over her face. She said, "Xiao-Xiao, I'm sorry for making you and your classmate make such a big fuss out of it."

I said, "It's fine, Li Rong. Don't feel guilty. Actually, they treated you like that because of me."

Li Rong raised her head and smiled bitterly, "But the final trigger is still me. Xiaoxiao, let me treat you to a meal. Actually, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to apologize to you."

Looking at Li Rong's expression, his heart softened as he said, "Okay, I promise you, I just happened to not have eaten my fill."

Seeing that I agreed, Li Rong smiled happily.

Under the sun, we sat side by side on the park bench. At this moment, I had completely forgotten that Song Ran was coming to pick me up after school that afternoon.

After skipping the afternoon class, Li Rong and I ate a long meal and talked about a lot of things that interested us.

For example, we all like Dongye Kuiu's novels.

That's how it is for like-minded people. It's easy to forget the time.

By the time I left the restaurant, night had already fallen. Only then did I remember Song Mo Ran. I took out my phone in panic and realised that there were countless missed calls on my phone that were tuned to mute mode. All of them were called by Song Mo Ran.

Trembling, I put the phone back into my pocket. I didn't dare to call back. At that moment, the phone screen lit up. It was my elder sister.

Hesitatingly, he picked up the phone. His sister's voice sounded a little anxious. "Where are you?"

I was startled for a moment, then announced my position.

The elder sister coldly said, "Stand where you are and don't move. I'll come over to pick you up right now." After saying that, she hung up the phone. I also vaguely felt that something had happened, so I obediently stayed where I was, waiting for my sister.

Li Rong asked, "Did something happen?"

I bit my lower lip and frowned slightly. "I don't know either."

Li Rong raised her hand and lightly patted my shoulder as she comforted me softly, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

I nodded at Li Rong, but the unease in my heart didn't dissipate.

Time passed, and my sister's car stopped at the curb. She was wearing a white dress and her hair was a bit messy, but she couldn't stop herself. She opened the door of the car and walked quickly towards me, pale, and took my hand without a word.

I frowned at her and asked curiously, "Elder sister, what's wrong?"

She didn't say anything as she quickly started the car and drove away, only stopping at the hospital entrance did she hurriedly enter. Although I didn't understand what was going on, I still fearfully followed behind her and took the elevator to the VIP ward. When I looked through the window and saw the person lying on the bed, my heart felt as if it had fallen into an icehouse, as if my soul had been sucked out of my body.

At this moment, Song Mo Ran was lying quietly on the bed with his head wrapped in a white cloth and his suit was stained with blood. I couldn't take a step further as my sister entered the ward and held Song Mo Ran's hand as if she had aged ten years.

My sister turned around and looked at me outside the window. Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she was gesturing for me to go in. Lowering her head, I took a step forward but stopped. She cautiously asked Dr. Chen, "Dr. Chen, is he alright?"

Doctor Chen pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Director Song is fine. I just made a few stitches, and the effects haven't passed."

I opened my mouth and squeezed out a sentence from my parched throat. "What happened to him?"

"Boss Song knew that you didn't go to class, so he went around looking for you. He couldn't get through to you on the phone, but when his classmates said that you left with a man, he drove like a madman to find you. After that, he got into a car accident and was sent to the hospital. He kept calling your name …"

Doctor Chen was still talking, but I couldn't hear him anymore, so I walked into the ward stiffly. I wanted to grab his hand to wake him up, but my sister kept on watching Song Mo Ran. She withdrew her hand silently, and my heart started to beat like a drum again.

At the end of the day, I still care about the relationship between me and my sister. If my sister and Song Mo Ran really had to choose, I would still choose my sister.

Dad taught me since I was a kid that people have to be conscientious.

No matter how much elder sister treats me because of Song Mo Ran, I cannot forget how elder sister sacrificed herself to help me after my parents left us.

My heart hardened as I turned around and said indifferently, "Elder sister, accompany him well."

His sister did not appreciate his kindness and sneered: "Lin Xiaoxiao, stop being so hypocritical. If he wakes up, wouldn't he immediately chase me away? Didn't he say that you are his girlfriend?"

I pursed my lips slightly as my eyes reddened. "Elder sister, please don't be like this, alright?"

Sister snorted and stood up, pulling me along as she walked out of the sickroom. She slammed me against the cold wall and said hoarsely: "Lin Xiaoxiao, you must have found out that you were the one who stole my boyfriend! What else do you want me to do? I am already a disgusting existence in Song Mo Ran's eyes, which of my words are wrong? "Didn't he, Song Mo Ran, pull you in front of me and tell me that you are his girlfriend?!"

I took a deep breath and said, "You're right, but Lin Xiaoyu, the method you used to keep Song Mo Ran was the reason why Song Mo Ran hated you. Let me tell you, this is the last time, the last time I'll let you go."

My elder sister looked at me with her eyes full of scars. She coldly smiled and disdainfully said, "I don't need your charity."

I clenched my fists and a cold tear ran down my cheek. "Whatever," I said.

Saying that, I left in a hurry, but every step was so heavy, so difficult, tears also spilled over the road.

It's all my fault. Don't blame me for turning into this, don't blame me for not accompanying you, it's time for there to really be a break between me and my sister. Just this once, let my sister do it again.

I stumbled out of the hospital, tears in my eyes, not knowing where I could go. I didn't choose to go back home, the smell of Song Mo Ran filled the house, his shadow was everywhere, and when I thought of what Doctor Chen had said, I felt a piercing pain in my heart. It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, how could he have suffered so much …
