Chapter 12 Chapter 12

a month later. Songbai Gymnasium. Slowly put her left leg on the ground, stood up carefully, and slowly put her strength on her right leg. With Xiaoying's support, Baicao took a step in the room, and then another step. "It's okay, let me go, I'll try by myself." With a thin layer of sweat dripping from her forehead, Baicao took a breath, gently pushed away Xiaoying, who was full of worry, and walked ten meters by herself very slowly, walked to the other side of the room, and then slowly turned back. "Look, I can walk now!" Sweat dripped down her back, Baicao resisted the pain from her knees, and said with a smile to Xiaoying, whose eyes were full of tears.

"Oh, that's great." Excitedly wiping away the tears that burst into her eyes, Xiaoying hurriedly supported Baicao again, and said, "But you'd better not walk so much at one time, take your time, Senior Brother Ruobai said..." "What are you doing?!" Holding the boiled ointment in his hand, Ruobai stood at the door and glared at them angrily. "I, I..." Xiaoying was so frightened that her hands trembled, she quickly helped Baicao to sit on the edge of the bed.Senior Brother Ruobai had once solemnly told her to keep an eye on Baicao 24/7 and not allow Baicao to walk on the ground with her injured left leg.

"...stayed on the bed for too long," Baicao stammered and explained, "my legs seem to be rusty, so I asked Xiaoying to help me..." "I'll do the rehabilitation for you. You have to follow the steps and don't rush forward." With a calm face, Ruobai put the freshly prepared ointment on the small table beside the bed, sat by her bed, and rolled up her right leg. trousers. Gently remove the gauze from the knee of her right leg. The knee was still slightly red and swollen. It bears the scar from the minimally invasive surgery. Ruobai frowned. Using a wooden spoon, carefully spread the uncooled ointment on her entire knee bit by bit.

Looking at Baicao's injured right knee, Xiaoying silently bit her lips, tears dripping down her cheeks.Even though a month has passed, she still can't forget the frightening scene, the iron rod hit Baicao's knee heavily... She forgot how Yifeng, Chuyuan, and Ruobai rushed to the hospital at that time, but she only remembered that she broke down and cried to Baicao in the emergency room, and in the end, Baicao, who was injured all over her body, was distracted comfort her. After a full-body examination for Baicao, the doctor said that Baicao's injuries were basically skin traumas, which would recover after a while, but the cruciate ligament injury in her right leg and knee required at least three months for treatment and recovery.

three months... Seeing Ruobai lowering her head and seriously applying medicine to Baicao, and seeing Baicao's shirt back soaked in cold sweat from walking just now, Xiaoying felt extremely sad, and she shed tears silently.Three months, it will take three months to walk like a normal person, but the national championship and world championship trials are less than a month away. "I'm going out for a walk!" My heart ached so much that I couldn't watch anymore, Xiaoying squeezed out a smile, and ran out of the house with her head down. Baicao looked at Xiaoying's back worriedly. Since she was injured, she heard Xiaoying lying on the bed almost every night, tossing and turning.

"Don't rush it." With her head lowered, Ruobai applied the ointment layer by layer to her knees.The prescription for the ointment was that he went to various famous Chinese medicine practitioners for consultation. After careful research, he confirmed that there would be no side effects before using it on her body. "Even if you miss this World Championships, there will be the Olympic Games two years later," Ruobai said lightly, wrapping her knees in layers of gauze, "You can only go well on the road of Taekwondo longer." "But, I really feel better!" Baicao said eagerly, "My knees are no longer painful. Your ointment is very effective. These days, my knees feel warm and comfortable. I just walked around , I didn't feel..." Seeing Ruobai's serious gaze, Baicao choked, and said in a hoarse voice, "...It's just a little pain."

"From now on, within a month, your rehabilitation can only be carried out with the help of the hospital or me," Ruobai said in a deep voice, gently massaging the muscles of her right leg, "Did you hear that?!" "……yes." In the evening, the Songbai Gymnasium is illuminated in light red by the sunset glow. Walking sullenly, Xiaoying lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the road. Since Baicao was injured, the atmosphere in the gym has become extremely depressing, and all the disciples are downcast.Everyone placed infinite hopes on Baicao, and hoped that Baicao could get a good ranking in the World Championships, but now Baicao is struggling even to walk.

It's time for evening class. But she doesn't want to go. In order to take care of Baicao, senior brother Ruobai handed over the daily training in the gym to Yifeng.She didn't want to go to evening class, and she didn't want to see Yifeng. "Hey, why are you in a daze?" The pebbles kicked out were kicked back again and again. Hearing the lazy and leisurely voice, Xiaoying frowned, turned around and left without saying a word. "You bastard!" As if he had expected her to behave like this, Yifeng grabbed her by the shoulders, frowned and said to her: "When you meet senior brother, you don't even say hello. Are there any rules?"

In the sunset, Xiaoying took a quick look at Yifeng with a sad face, he still looked lazy and heartless. "Hello, Senior Brother." She bowed politely, turned around and left dejectedly. "Hey, Fan Xiaoying, what's the matter with you?" With a puzzled expression on his face, Yifeng grabbed her again, "It's been so long, and when you see me, you hide, like I'm a plague." With her head down, Xiaoying remained silent. As if acquiescing to his words. After looking at her for a while, Yifeng sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, you can tell me anything directly. Are you dating other boys, so you want to stay away from me?"

"..." Xiaoying looked at him in surprise. "A stinky girl who has always been in chaos and always abandoned!" With some helplessness in his eyes, Yifeng slapped her on the forehead viciously, "Even so, I'm still your senior brother. Don't hide from me when you see me, no big or small!" Covering her forehead aggrievedly, Xiaoying looked at him with tears in her eyes and said: "I don't like other boys, I like you very much, in fact, you are my favorite boy! I didn't like you that much before. , but later on, I fell in love with you more and more..."

Yifeng was startled and looked at her. "So, I don't want to be with you, don't talk to you, don't want to see you!" Tears were pattering, and Xiaoying's nose was also crying, "I want to punish myself! Before Baicao's leg injury heals, I can't be happy, I can't be happy, I can't have a boyfriend, I must punish myself! Only in this way, I will feel better!" "You idiot!" Seeing the tears streaming down her face, Yifeng's heart twitched, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to comfort her. "Don't touch me!" Dodging away like a frightened animal, Xiaoying squatted on the side of the road crying. "Baicao was injured, everyone is very sad," sighed, Yifeng knelt down beside him, comforting her, "But, it was an accident, no one wanted it." "No! No! That's not an accident!" Shaking her head desperately, Xiaoying cried, "It's not that I got lost, that was on purpose, I took Baicao to such a remote place, do you know what I want to do? I am I want to see the red light district, I think it is very exciting and fun! So, I took Baicao to go together, I knew she would not reject me, she would not quarrel with me, she would promise me anything..." "I took Baicao to such a dangerous place, I want to see, even if there are really bad people, Baicao is so powerful, it will definitely beat them all to the ground," Xiaoying cried, her face was tearful, "Look, I thought of it It might be dangerous, but even so, I still took Baicao with me!" Yifeng listened silently. Since Baicao was injured, Xiaoying seemed to be a completely different person. She never smiled again. She hung her head all day long and her eyes were red. "There were five people in total. They held iron bars in their hands, and tears were streaming down their faces," Xiaoying cried. "Baicao dragged me out, and I ran slowly. Baicao can only come back to save me! But, seeing her fight with those white and black people for me, but I... I was so scared that I could only hide by the side and cry..." "Yifeng..." Holding Yifeng's hand tremblingly, Xiaoying cried sadly and said, "Before, I always thought that I was a good friend of Baicao, the best and best kind of good friend, but, seeing Watching Baicao fight those people for me, but I can only hide and cry... I am useless... I can only hide and cry like a coward... Yifeng... I dragged her down , I killed her...I hate myself, I hate myself to death..." "How can you be a coward? You just like to be lazy in training, so your skills are too poor." Holding Xiaoyinglu's cold fingers from crying, Yifeng said jokingly, "Fortunately, you are calm and smart. Instead of rushing up to cause more trouble for Baicao, I found the police quickly, didn't I?" With tears streaming down her face, Xiaoying shook her head blankly: "If I hadn't dragged Baicao there, nothing would have happened..." "Okay, you're about to become Mrs. Xianglin!" Pulling Xiaoying up from the ground, and wiping away the tears streaming down her face with her fingers, Yifeng said helplessly, "You don't have to worry too much, Baicao's leg injury It will recover. Moreover, it can be seen that Baicao has not disliked you at all, she still regards you as her best friend." "But, it's only been less than a month." Tears continued to flow, and Xiaoying said sadly, "Finally, I got the qualification to compete fairly for the World Championships, but I injured Baicao and couldn't play." "Yes, I know, Baicao still regards me as a good friend. In order not to make me sad, she pretends to be happy every day, as if her legs don't hurt at all, and it won't affect the competition that is about to start at all." "I'm not good enough for Baicao..." With a wow, Xiaoying burst into tears again, "I have hurt her so badly, and she still has to worry about me...I...I...So, Yifeng, let's break up! Yes! Let's break up!" Sniffing her nose hard, her face crying messily, Xiaoying looked at Yifeng sadly like a broken wrist and said: "Before Baicao's leg injury recovers, before Baicao fails to win the World Championships, let's break up! Well, I will not be happy for a day! I will punish myself, only in this way, I will feel better in my heart!" "You bastard!" Yifeng looked at her speechlessly.He could see that she was serious, extremely serious. "It's just," Xiaoying begged, looking at him pitifully, "after we break up, don't be with other girls, okay? That way, when Baicao wins the championship, I can chase you back." "You idiot!" With a dark face, Yifeng glared at her angrily, and said in a hateful voice, "Do you think that I can come when I call and leave when I wave?!" After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth and strode away, leaving only Xiaoying standing there in a daze, her heart broken into pieces. night. Hearing that Xiaoying, who had been tossing and turning, finally fell asleep, Baicao gently crawled out of bed.After changing into her Taoist uniform, she touched the crutch placed by the bed, opened the door carefully, and limped outside. There is a half crescent moon in the night sky. Close the door. Leaning on crutches, Baicao walked slowly in the silent pine and cypress gymnasium.The leaves on the side of the road are rustling, and the night wind is mixed with the quiet sound of insects. They pass through the courtyard and through the grove. In front of them is the dark practice hall. Walk up to the tatami on the porch. Pull open the paper door. Familiar breath rushed towards him, leaning on crutches, Baicao stood there for a few seconds, first went abroad for a competition, then got injured, it seems that he has not been here for nearly two months. Turn on the light, and the practice hall is brightened up. Leaning the cane against the wall, Baicao nodded and walked slowly to the center of the mat. take a deep breath. Slowly and evenly distributed the weight of the whole body to the two legs, and there was a distorted pain in the knee of the right leg. She took a breath and waited for the wave of pain to subside.Then, she clenched her fist and supported her left leg, she slowly raised her right leg──closed. work hard! "what……" At the moment when he exerted his strength slightly, the tearing pain caused cold sweat to burst out all over his body, and Baicao fainted from the pain, and fell limply on the mat!After panting for a long time, she endured the wave of pain. She barely stood up, not daring to kick her right leg again, and slowly replaced her right leg with a supporting leg, kicking out her left foot. call Although the right leg was still painful, it was much better than the terrible tearing feeling just now, and Baicao breathed a sigh of relief. With less than a month left before the National Championship and World Championship trials, her injured right leg still hurts even when she walks. She is also very anxious about how to play the game.However, she dared not express this anxiety in front of everyone. Xiaoying felt extremely guilty.Senior brother Ruobai hadn't recovered from his own illness, so he took care of her injury day and night. Several times, she could see that his eyes were turning blue from staying up all night researching medicine.Brother Chuyuan had asked for leave a while ago because of her injury, and stayed with her in the hospital all day to receive treatment and help her recover. Master and Guangya also visited her several times and brought her various nutritional products.Even Master Zheng from the Changsheng Gym came to visit her.In Songbai Gymnasium, both senior disciples and junior disciples are anxiously collecting various secret recipes and folk remedies, hoping that her legs will get better soon. She is very grateful. She didn't know how to express her thanks. So, she was even more disturbed. She wants to recover as soon as possible, and she must recover before the national championship, play well, and win the championship.She must win the championship. Only in this way can she be qualified to participate in the World Taekwondo Championships, so that people who care about her can rest assured! Suppressing the anxiety in her heart and struggling to stand on the mat, Baicao tried hard to think of a solution.At present, it seems that the right leg can barely be used as a supporting leg, and the hope of attacking with strength is very slim.Then, the tactics of double flying and three consecutive kicks will be difficult to play. The attack of the left leg must be strengthened. "Drink---" Increase the strength and kick a straight kick with the left leg!Being dragged, twisting pain instantly burned from the knee of her right leg, her eyes went dark, and she sat down on the mat dripping with cold sweat, but fortunately, this degree of pain was tolerable. Attacking style of play will be limited. Maybe you have to adjust to a defensive counterattack style of play.But in this way, the pace must be more flexible.Gritting her teeth and standing up, Baicao began to try to move quickly. "Hiss—" Every time he moves, no matter how small the range is, it feels like thousands of ants are biting the knee of his right leg.But fortunately, the pain is tolerable, Baicao bit her lips tightly in cold sweat, as long as she gets used to it, once she gets used to it, she won't feel the pain anymore! One minute. Another minute. The clock on the wall was running very slowly. Struggle to move her pace, Baicao raised her head to look at the clock that seemed to be broken, the painful cold sweat made her whole body feel like soaking in icy water, at least she had to be able to stand for nine minutes of the three games. The paper door of the practice hall was swung open. "Why are you here!" When Ruobai's angry voice sounded, Baicao trembled in fright, before she had time to look back, she fell onto the mat! "I, I..." She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do, she sat up, ignoring her twitching right leg, grabbed the first excuse that flashed in her mind, and stammered: "... I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. I, I didn't practice, I just stood up..." "Now, have you even learned to lie?" Ruobai walked in front of her with a cold face.Without reaching out to help her, he just looked at her coldly, as if he was extremely disappointed in her. "..." Baicao lowered her head in shame. A crescent moon outside the window. In the autumn night, the sound of insects came from afar. "You...why haven't you slept yet?" Baicao couldn't help asking, looking at Ruobai's toes timidly.It is almost twelve o'clock at night, according to the doctor's instructions, Ruobai's body must be rested for at least twelve hours a day, why is he still here at this moment? "..." Ruobai looked at her coldly. From his dormitory, he could see the practice hall from afar.When the lights in the practice hall suddenly turned on, he guessed who it might be, but unexpectedly, it was really her. "...I'm leaving now, and you should go back earlier." Standing up from the mat with difficulty, Baicao looked at him uneasily, hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly, "...do you take all your medicines on time? Why do I feel that you seem to have lost weight recently? When I go to the hospital for a follow-up visit tomorrow, I will accompany you to check your body, okay?" Recently, Ruobai was so thin that she was frightened. She wanted to accompany him to the hospital for an examination more than once, but he refused every time with a cold face, and with her leg injured, she also lost the strength to forcefully pull him away. "Will you come back after I leave?" The voice was indifferent, as if Ruobai didn't hear the other thing she said at all. "No!" Baicao shook her head in a panic. "Then what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?" Ruobai looked at her, "Will you resume training secretly as long as no one sees you?" "..." Baicao was stunned. "Answer me!" Ruobai said sharply, "If you dare to lie to me again..." "My leg really doesn't hurt anymore!" Baicao said eagerly, not daring to hear him finish, "I tried it just now, and although my right leg can't exert strength for the time being, it's fine as a supporting leg So I think, as long as you practice your left leg more, let your left leg take on the main offense, then speed up your movement, and switch from an all-out attack to a defensive counterattack, you should be able to participate in the competition!" "The doctor said that you can't do strenuous activities within three months," Ruo Baibing said with a fixed face, "Otherwise, if your right leg is injured again, you may never be able to fully recover!" "Is the doctor's words completely correct? It's like... just like some people have been declared by the doctor to be in a vegetative state for life and will never wake up again, but they still wake up and live well. Some people have been declared to be able to Terminally ill, he is about to die soon, but he still lived for a long time." Baicao argued in a panic, "For the same injury, everyone's recovery is different. Some people may need three months, but My body has always been very good, I only need two months, no, only one month, and I can fully recover!" "If you don't believe me, look!" Reluctantly taking two steps, Baicao gritted her teeth, exerted strength on her left leg, raised her breath, and spun around! "Drink---" She shouted and kicked her right leg! "Bang—" The tearing pain made the body in the air twitch slightly, her eyes turned black, she clenched her teeth tightly, relying on her body's intuition──"Bang──" Kick the second kick! The pain gripped her whole body, as if she had been scooped out of icy water. She struggled to kick a third kick with her right leg, but her right leg was so numb from the pain that it didn't listen to her at all. Invoke──"Plop!" From the stagnant mid-air, the body that was sweating in pain fell heavily! The pain in front of her eyes turned black, and she burst into cold sweat layer by layer. She struggled to sit up immediately, biting her lips tightly to prevent herself from passing out from the pain.Finding Ruobai's figure in the blurred vision of pain, she tried her best to show a happy smile, and said, "You, look...even the whirlwind three kicks can basically..." Before she finished speaking, her body was picked up by someone! Hugging Baicao who was covered in cold sweat in pain, Ruobai picked up the crutch she was leaning against the wall, turned off the light with a tense face, and walked out with her in his arms. The night wind blows. The crescent moon still hangs quietly in the sky. "...put me down, I'm too heavy," thinking about Ruobai's body, Baicao, ignoring her still throbbing right leg, raised her head in his arms and said anxiously, "I can walk by myself, I... " "Shut up!" interrupted her coldly, Ruobai hugged her even tighter. The shadows of the trees whirled in the night wind, and the chirping of insects appeared and disappeared. After walking in the quiet grove at night, for a long time, he said coldly, "Forget about Taekwondo." "What?" she was startled. "Until your leg is healed, forget about Taekwondo, forget about the competition." The shadow of the tree rustled above the two of them, and he said blankly, "Even if you miss this World Championship, there will be the next World Championship .Even if you stay away from taekwondo, at least you still have healthy legs. After graduating from university, whether you will be a scholar, translator, reporter or office clerk, at least your legs can walk and jump normally." His eyelashes drooped, he said lightly : "This is more important than anything else." Staring at him blankly, Baicao's heart was filled with some sour emotion, her lips trembled, and she struggled to say: "But, but I really want to participate..." Interrupting her, Ruobai said coldly: "If you continue to practice privately, leave the Songbai Gymnasium." In his arms, her body stiffened suddenly, her face was snow-white with fright, she looked at him in panic: "Senior brother..." "You can try to see if I'm serious." In the shadow of the trees under the moonlight, Ruobai said indifferently. Being held in his arms in a daze, Baicao could see his tense jaw, and could feel his angry breathing in his chest.Her heart gradually sank, getting colder and colder.Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes silently, and she closed her eyes, nestling her head on his chest, crying silently. The warmth of tears dripped from his chest. Ruobai lowered his head in silence, he could only see the top of her black hair and the back twitching slightly from crying, hugging her tighter, he continued to walk silently on the path set up at night. same night. The same crescent moon in the night sky. "Ah-" The training hall of the national team of Taekwondo was brightly lit. Tingyi shouted loudly, her body twirled and rose into the air, raising three legs one after another—"Crack!" "Snapped!" "Snapped!" Landing lightly, Tingyi's face was already covered with crystal clear sweat. She happily ran towards her grandfather sitting next to her, and shouted, "Grandpa, I've practiced it! Qi Baicao's whirlwind triple kick seems to It's amazing, but it's not difficult to actually practice, you see, I've only practiced for less than half a month, and I'm already more precise and labor-saving than her!" "Xiao Ting, grandpa said long ago that you are the child with the most savvy." Master Wan stroked his beard and smiled, "In terms of Taekwondo talent, only Li Enxiu can compare with you." "Grandpa, you just love to coax me!" Smiling happily, Tingyi rubbed her grandfather's shoulder coquettishly, then unscrewed a bottle of water and drank it in small sips. "Haha, it's not that grandpa is boasting. Even Li Eun-soo is not as elegant as you in the competition." Wan Lao said with a smile, "It was the same with your mother back then. Performance of art." Tingyi was in a daze for a while. She still remembers that she was still young at that time, but her mother would often take her by her side when playing games.The graceful and beautiful figure of the mother has always been the focus of attention of the audience, which has attracted countless Taekwondo enthusiasts at home and abroad.Knowing that many years after my mother passed away, there are still many admirers who came to the tomb to lay flowers on a few days every year. "Then why," Tingyi asked, frowning annoyedly, "I lost to Qi Baicao in the team match last time, and Qi Baicao looks like an invincible king now?" Qi Baicao's style of play is so obvious crude benzene. "That's because of her strength." Slowly stroking his beard, Wan Lao said in a deep voice, "Have you watched the videos of her recent competitions abroad?" "seen it already." "Her legwork, can you do it?" "Can!" "Then why, she can KO her opponent, but you can only score?" Wan Lao asked her. "..." "Your legs are elegant, light, and precise, and you can kick the opponent's scoring part effortlessly. Qi Baicao's legs have a huge burst of power in an instant. The opponent who is kicked by you can stand up and continue the game, while The opponent who is hit by her will not be able to continue the game." Wan Lao said slowly. "So she can become the 'KO King'?" Tingyi had mixed feelings. "right." "...Then what should I do?" "Add her strength to your original advantages, and no one can be your opponent." The old man opened a bag on the ground, "From now on, I will wear a bag on my feet during training every day." with them." It was a pair of heavy sandbags. Tingyi bent down to pick them up, each weighing nearly twenty catties.She tried to tie sandbags to her left and right ankles respectively, and even walking became difficult. "Grandpa, I want to practice for another hour," Tingyi said with a smile, "Go back and rest first, don't stay with me all the time." Go to the door of the practice hall. Master Wan turned his head and looked at his granddaughter who had tied sandbags and was practicing kicks over and over again on the mat. Tingyi's spirituality and talent are no lower than her mother's, but because her mother lost her when she was young, her son-in-law doted on her too much, and raised her a bit capricious and delicate.And losing to Li Enxiu in the competition several times made Tingyi low in self-confidence, and instead focused on acting in the entertainment industry such as accepting commercials. The appearance of the little girl Qi Baicao may not be a bad thing for Tingyi.After being stimulated, Tingyi began to train every day with unprecedented diligence. Although he didn't approve of Tingyi falling out with Shen Ning, who had trained her for many years, in a fit of anger, and switched to the national team.However, it is always a good thing to have a goal that you firmly want to achieve. House seemingly endless rain. Xiaoying now deeply understands the meaning of this sentence, just when Baicao's leg injury has not healed, even recovery training cannot start, and the national championship is imminent---Brother Ruobai fell ill and was admitted to the hospital! The night before yesterday, when the ambulance roared into the Songbai Gymnasium, Baicao jumped up from the bed and rushed out without even bothering to pick up the crutches.At that time, she thought Baicao was making a big fuss, but she didn't expect that it was Senior Brother Ruobai who had the accident! The ambulance was called by Yifeng. When Senior Brother Ruobai who was in a coma was taken to the hospital by ambulance, after first aid out of danger, Yifeng in the ward said that Ruobai had a low-grade fever every night during this time, and he persuaded Ruobai many times to go to the hospital to have a look , and even asked for leave to go with Ruobai, but Ruobai stubbornly refused. Standing in front of Ruobai's hospital bed. Seeing Baicao staring blankly at Ruobai, in a daze, Xiaoying dared not leave her for fear that she would accidentally fall down or have any accidents.Later, the doctor called Chuyuan and Yifeng to the duty room to talk, and Baicao followed immediately on crutches. Yifeng stopped Baicao with a dark face, saying that Ruobai had solemnly told him not to let Baicao participate in the discussion of the disease. "Don't worry, nothing will happen." Seeing the door of the doctor's duty room closed in front of Baicao, Xiaoying could only pretend to be relaxed and comfort her, "Didn't the doctor also say that just now? Brother Ruobai is no longer in danger, I'll wake up in a few hours. Hehe, if senior brother Bai is in such good health, he's our senior senior brother, and he will definitely be fine!" Baicao's face is snow-white. She stared blankly at the door, and there was no sound coming from inside. After a long time, she turned her head and said with hollow eyes, "Xiaoying, help me..." "you say!" "Help me find out about Senior Brother Ruobai's condition..." Baicao tightly grasped her with cold fingers. The first thing Ruobai did after waking up was to drive Baicao back to Songbai Gymnasium, who was going to stay in bed all night, and not allow her to come to the hospital again. In the gymnasium, Baicao is out of his mind every day. For the sake of Baicao, Xiaoying used all her abilities, and finally found out the condition of Senior Brother Ruobai in the past two days. But…… Xiaoying sat on the side of the road in the small forest with a sad face. Is she really going to tell Baicao the truth about Brother Ruobai's condition? "Don't tell her." In the ward, the infusion liquid dripped into the vein bit by bit, Ruobai said quietly to Chu Yuan standing in front of the bed with a pale face. "She will know sooner or later." Chu Yuan frowned. "As long as it can be delayed." After coughing weakly for a while, Ruobai said again, "Chuyuan, please, if she asks you, just say, I just need to rest for a while, and I can recover." "This time, an operation is necessary." Chuyuan didn't answer him. Ruobai was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, I agree to the operation. There is only one request, that I cannot tell her about my condition." The room was silent. Finally, Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "The operation is dangerous. I think she should know it. Ruobai, you are very clear about your position in her heart. If you keep such an important matter from her..." "I'm just her senior brother." Ruobai said flatly, "There are so many disciples in the gymnasium, it doesn't matter if she is the only one who knows." "Ruobai!" Seeing Ruobai's indifferent and distant expression, Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then, the corners of his lips were gradually stained with bitterness, and he said in a low voice, "Maybe, she likes you." Ruobai froze. He stared at Chuyuan closely, as if he couldn't understand what Chuyuan was saying. "Although I shouldn't say these words." The bitterness in his heart made him almost unable to continue, Chuyuan smiled, "Baicao has always been a silly girl, because I took care of her at the beginning, she took care of me. You are so grateful and mistaken for special feelings. Ruobai, I can see that in her heart, you are a very important person. " "You misunderstood." Ruobai said hoarsely, "She protected me when the hot soup was spilled that time because she thought I was a sick person, unable to protect myself." "That's her subconscious behavior. When danger occurs, people will subconsciously protect the most precious things to themselves." Chuyuan shook his head and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I don't mean to criticize it. " "Actually, I did something wrong. Knowing that she is still ignorant and doesn't know what feelings are, I told her my heart and asked her to accept it." Chuyuan said quietly, "I know, she She is a single-minded silly girl, I forced her to accept me, even if she liked any boy, she would never give herself another chance, but I still did that. " With a wry smile, Chuyuan said, "Look, how selfish I am." "Chuyuan," Ruobai said, closing his eyes, "you really misunderstood, she didn't like me. She only has feelings for me as a senior brother. Maybe it's because of training, I spent a long time with her. But That kind of feeling is just the feeling between brothers and sisters." "You like her, don't you?" Chuyuan stared at him. "It doesn't matter whether I like her or not." Coughing in a low voice, Ruobai said with pale lips, "I have a rigid personality and I am fierce towards her.
