I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 496. Poor Ning Bao

The story goes back twenty minutes.

Both Class 1 and Class 2 have physical education class as their first period on Mondays. After arriving at the indoor gymnasium, everyone did warm-up exercises under the guidance of the physical education teacher, as usual.

"Are you all still half asleep? Let's play something different today: a badminton relay. Each person hits one shuttlecock. The winner continues, and the loser is eliminated so the next person can take their turn."

"You can all understand the rules, right?"

After the warm-up was over, the PE teacher suddenly spoke to everyone.

"Yes." The only response he received was a weak, feeble voice.

"Alright, everyone line up according to your student ID number and come up one by one."

"The girls from Class 1 stand to my right, and the students from Class 2 stand to my left."

The PE teacher opened his arms, and the students quickly took their positions.

It is worth mentioning that physical education classes at Licheng Middle School are held separately for boys and girls. Boys play soccer or basketball outdoors, while girls play badminton or table tennis indoors.

The competition began quickly.

The student ID numbers were arranged alphabetically by the first letter of each student's name. Lin Wanning's Lin was "L". After a few rounds, it was soon her turn to go on stage.

Because he often played basketball with Xu Qingfan, and that scoundrel always loved to make all sorts of slam dunks or dirty plays, Lin Wanning also had some basketball skills, and easily eliminated seven or eight classmates from the class.

Until another athletic player came up on the other side, the two played back and forth for more than a dozen times without the ball landing, and finally Lin Wanning jumped up and slammed it down.

He won the game, but he also missed a step when he landed, and his right foot twisted inward, almost bending inward at a 90-degree angle.

Anyone who has sprained their ankle knows how painful it is. Even those who haven't sprained their ankle can gasp just looking at the bizarre bending angle.

"Wan Ning!"

Lin Wanning was still immersed in the joy of winning the game and didn't feel much pain in his foot, but Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi, who were at the scene, rushed over immediately.

It wasn't until the two people helped him up that Lin Wanning belatedly realized that his right ankle felt like it was on fire.

"Hehe, I sprained my ankle again." She forced a smile at the two of them, looking embarrassed despite the pain.

"How are you? Can you walk? Take off your shoes and see how serious it is." The PE teacher, who was sitting on the ground watching the pretty girls play ball, was so frightened that he jumped up.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi was about to squat down to help Lin Wanning take off his shoes, but as soon as he touched him, Lin Wanning gasped in pain.

"hiss!"

"Yiyi, it hurts."

Zhang Yiyi was so frightened that she quickly stopped. She had this much common sense: if someone complains of extreme pain when taking off their shoes, then it's highly likely that they've broken a bone.

The female students, who had been squatting listlessly on the ground, now gathered around.

Lin Wanning was still standing on one leg when, a second later, Xia Xiaoxiao, who had been supporting her, patted her shoulder and said, "I'll carry her to the school clinic first. You call Xu Qingfan."

Lin Wanning always loved to skip and hop when she was little, until she sprained her ankle and broke it in junior high school, at which point Xu Qingfan forcibly corrected this bad habit of hers.

Xia Xiaoxiao asked her to call Xu Qingfan because she was worried that Lin Wanning had broken his leg again, just like last time.

After all, fractures are more common in winter, especially since the ankle had been injured before.

Xia Xiaoxiao quickly picked up Lin Wanning and, after bouncing her bottom a bit, strode away from the gymnasium with her on her back.

Zhang Yiyi jogged after him, took out her phone and dialed Xu Qingfan's number. Several girls who were usually close to Lin Wanning also chased after them.

"The class monitor is responsible for maintaining classroom discipline," the PE teacher said, then quickly chased after him. "No, our class monitor is Xiaoxiao!"

"Haha, what a coincidence, our class monitor is Yi Yi!"

"Hey, I thought they were rivals for love, but I didn't expect them to be such good friends."

"Absolutely! No scoundrel is as important as your best friends!"

“Haha, that makes sense!”

"Oh, right, you know what? I'm telling you, but you have to swear you won't tell anyone else."

the other side.

After walking more than a hundred meters, Zhang Yi still couldn't get through to Xu Qingfan's phone. After all, it's obvious that no normal person would leave their phone on during class unless they were secretly using it.

“No one is answering my brother’s phone. Xiaoxiao, you carry Wanning to the infirmary first. I’ll go back to the classroom to find my brother,” Zhang Yiyi said, looking in the direction of the teaching building.

"Okay, we'll wait for you in the infirmary." Xia Xiaoxiao's years of yoga practice have paid off; she carried Lin Wanning, who weighed over 90 pounds, for so long without even breaking a sweat.

"Don't run too fast, I'm not in pain." Lin Wanning's forehead was already sweating profusely, but he still forced a smile.

Back to the present.

Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yiyi ran down from the fifth floor to the first floor in one breath. He was fine, but Zhang Yiyi had just gone through strenuous exercise and was having some difficulty breathing if she continued running.

Xu Qingfan slowed down and took Zhang Yiyi's hand to ask her some basic questions.

"Is Wan Ning in the infirmary right now? How did she sprain her ankle? Is it serious?"

Zhang Yiyi nodded breathlessly, then swallowed hard: "It's serious, there might be a fracture."

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao carried her to the infirmary."

With Xiaoxiao there, Xu Qingfan felt a little relieved, but just in case she fractured her bone again, an X-ray was definitely necessary.

"Yiyi, call your homeroom teacher to ask for leave. I'll have the driver come to the school gate now." After he finished speaking, he took out his phone and started making calls. The call log showed that he had four missed calls.

The two switched from jogging to brisk walking, and when they reached the school clinic, Zhang Yiyi had just finished her call with her homeroom teacher.

There were only Xia Xiaoxiao, Lin Wanning, the PE teacher, and the female doctor on duty in the infirmary. The female classmates who had come with them were sent back by the PE teacher.

"Brother Qingfan." Lin Wanning pouted, looking at him pitifully.

For some reason, her eyes immediately filled with tears when she saw her brother Qingfan arrive.

Xu Qingfan nodded to the PE teacher, then walked over and patted Lin Wanning's head before asking the doctor on duty, "Doctor, she fractured her foot once in junior high school. Will she fracture it again this time?"

Lin Wanning had already taken off his shoe and sock on his right foot and was using a soft pad to elevate it.

The shoelaces were completely untied and the whole shoe was taken off. As for the socks, Xia Xiaoxiao had no choice but to cut them off with scissors.

“I can’t tell with the naked eye. Just in case, it’s best to go to the hospital for an X-ray.” She touched her chin and looked at Lin Wanning’s right foot carefully.

Just as Xu Qingfan was about to continue speaking, Xiao Ruanwen rushed over in a hurry.

"Wanning, Wanning, how is Wanning?"

"Waaah~ Wan Ning, are you alright?"

Xiao Ruanwen was a little late because she had to go to the homeroom teacher to explain the situation.
