Chapter 157 Collapse
"Hiss..." Yunzhi's expression froze. The intense pain from the friction between her arm and clothes made her afraid to move. She remained in one position, looking somewhat dazed.
Cheng Shuyan's expression changed, and his usually gentle voice became anxious, "Zhizhi, what's wrong?"
"No, it's okay, we're almost at the finish line, let's continue." Yunzhi's face was pale, and her thin lips trembled slightly, but even so, she still forced a smile at Cheng Shuyan.
But that smile made Cheng Shuyan feel as if something had pierced a hole in her heart.
“Zhizhi…” Cheng Shuyan’s voice trembled, and her fingertips, hanging limply to one side, shook uncontrollably, “your arm.”
Yunzhi looked down and realized that her left arm, which was chafed and bleeding, was covered in red welts. To make matters worse, she was wearing light-colored clothes today, and most of her arm was covered in red welts, which looked quite terrifying.
A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
I should have worn dark clothes today.
She initially thought it wasn't very serious, but looking at it this way, it does seem quite serious; no wonder it hurts so much.
"Would you believe me if I said it doesn't actually hurt that much?" Yunzhi looked at Cheng Shuyan helplessly.
Cheng Shuyan pursed her lips, half-squatted down, and began to untie the red rope on her feet.
Yunzhi was about to say something when Cheng Shuyan glanced at her and she immediately fell silent.
In her memory, it was rare to see Cheng Shuyan lose his composure like this; it seemed like every time it happened, it was about her.
Soon, a lot of people gathered around.
The kindergarten principal came running over, panting, his potbelly jiggling with each step.
"Quickly, Xiao Li, take Mr. Cheng and the others to the infirmary."
Xiao Li is Amy's homeroom teacher.
Unable to squeeze in, Amy burst into tears.
When Yunzhi heard Amy crying, she looked toward the source of the sound, but the surroundings were chaotic and full of people. Amy, a little kid, had long been swallowed up by the sea of people.
Yunzhi's heart tightened, worried that Amy might get hurt if there were too many people. So she grabbed Cheng Shuyan's arm with her uninjured right hand. "I heard Amy crying. Amy must be very scared right now. You go and stay with Amy. I'll go to the infirmary with the teacher first. I'm fine. It should just be a scrape on my arm. Don't worry."
Cheng Shuyan frowned, looking at Yunzhi with disapproval.
“I’m really fine. It’s just that it looks scary. Amy is young and a little timid. If we take her to the infirmary, she’ll be even more frightened when she sees the wound. You should stay here and keep her company.”
Cheng Shuyan finally nodded.
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She left with the teacher, but as she left, she turned back and made a phone call gesture with her hand to her ear, indicating that she would contact the teacher later.
She only got up when Yunzhi passed by Yu Baisu.
Yu Baisu was surrounded by a large crowd.
She fell and got covered in dirt. Although she managed to protect her face with her hand at the last moment, the left side of her face was still scratched by the gravel.
Yu Baisu was helped to her feet by the people around her. Just as she was about to thank them, she felt a burning pain on her face. Her face turned pale, and she hurriedly touched her face. When she touched a certain spot, she almost screamed.
"My face, my face..."
"Parent, your face doesn't look too bad. Go to the infirmary and get some medicine applied; it shouldn't leave a scar." The dean had just finished dealing with Cheng Shuyan when he came over to deal with Ye Chengyan.
The dean wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
Although he had guessed that there would be some bumps and bruises during the competition, he never expected that it would be Ye Chengyan's men who knocked down Cheng Shuyan's men.
Although Yu Baisu's face was injured, it was only a minor scratch, which was insignificant compared to Yun Zhi's injury.
Perhaps it was Yunzhi's good temper that made the dean think that Yu Baisu was also relatively easy to talk to. But as soon as he finished speaking, Yu Baisu screamed.
"What do you mean it won't leave a scar? What if it does? What's wrong with your playground? There are so many stones. You're not responsible for us parents at all. And you still insist on holding this competition. Who cares about first place! If there's even the slightest problem with my face, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
Yu Baisu's sharp voice was extremely penetrating.
The people around fell silent instantly, exchanging bewildered glances. They never expected that Yu Baisu, who usually appeared so gentle and soft-spoken, would be like this in real life.
Even Yunzhi, who had already passed by, stopped to watch the spectacle.
A cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.
It seems that Yu Baisu was really provoked this time. If she had still been rational, she would never have lost control like this, especially with so many people in the industry watching.
It's really like shooting yourself in the foot.
Yu Baisu quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She looked at Ye Chengyan in fear.
Ye Chengyan had a cold expression on his face. His brows were furrowed, and his deep black eyes showed deep displeasure as he looked at Yu Baisu.
Yu Baisu panicked even more, carefully grabbing the hem of his clothes, "Ayan, I, I was just too scared, I didn't mean to, you can understand me, right?"
Ye Chengyan didn't speak, but simply pulled the hem of his clothes back without making a sound.
"I'll have my assistant take you to the hospital." His voice was indifferent, but the thought of Yu Baisu's disgraceful behavior just now made his temples throb.
Which is Yu Baisu's true nature: gentle and elegant or vulgar and arrogant?
For the first time, Ye Chengyan began to wonder if he had ever truly understood Yu Baisu.
The dean, who was standing to the side, was not angry after being scolded by Yu Baisu. He smiled like Maitreya Buddha.
"Yes, let's go to a nearby hospital for a check-up. Women want to look good for the men they love, I understand, I understand. Our kindergarten will cover all the check-up costs, and if there are any problems later, our kindergarten will definitely not shirk its responsibility."
Yu Baisu's face flushed red. Did she really need that little bit of money?
She worried that if she had a scar on her face, she wouldn't be able to continue being the special one by Ye Chengyan's side.
But I was too excited just now and couldn't help but reveal my true colors.
Yu Baisu is now even more frightened, more frightened than if her face were disfigured.
She knew that Ye Chengyan had indulged her time and time again, partly because of their past feelings, but more so because her feigned harmless and weak demeanor over the years had evoked his pity time and time again.
Yu Baisu bit the soft flesh on one side of her cheek, revealing a smile that was even uglier than crying.
"It was my fault for not standing properly, it has nothing to do with your kindergarten. I'm sorry, I was just scared, that's why I got so agitated. Please don't take what I said to heart."
"I believe you all understand how important a woman's face is. I was just too scared," Yu Baisu said, shrinking back and looking extremely pitiful.
Many people around were moved.
A woman's face is indeed very important. Imagine if their face were injured, they would probably be devastated.
