hospital.

The incandescent light in the ward cast a soft, warm glow. Dai Yilan lay quietly on the bed, the effects of the medication in her body long since dissipated.

Ning Xi sat quietly and silently by the hospital bed.

Teacher Dai's test results were all in, and there was nothing seriously wrong, finally putting a huge weight off her mind.

Dai Yilan's face was still pale, but she no longer looked as weak and out of control as before.

She winked at Ning Xi, who was applying an ice pack to her swollen cheek, and said, "Xi Bao, smile."

The worry in Ning Xi's eyes and her tense nerves made Dai Yilan feel extremely guilty.

She's still in a daze thinking about everything that happened tonight.

If Ning Xi and her boyfriend hadn't rushed over, she probably would have been in grave danger tonight.

She was also blaming herself for going to such a high-end private club instead of going to so many other bars.

My friend raved about Vanta, saying that not only were the guys there incredibly handsome, but the drinks were also amazing, and the atmosphere was so wonderful that once you went, you'd want to go back countless times.

It's hard to imagine how chaotic a place with lots of rich people can be until it happens to you.

The drinks the bartender served her were ones she had ordered herself.

She wasn't wary at all. After finishing a glass, she even told her friend that Vanta's wine was worth every penny, not only because it tasted good but also because it was high-class.

Many of the wines were high-end wines whose names she couldn't recall.

After drinking a glass of wine, she felt extremely dizzy. Even though her body was giving her warning signs, she never suspected that the wine had been spiked.

By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

She was very disoriented and slumped over the bar. Her friend thought she was just too tired and wanted to rest.

Her friend went to the dance floor, and she wanted to stop her, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.

She didn't even know how she ended up in Wen Jingyan's private room.

After she regained consciousness, she checked her phone. Her friend had messaged her around 10 p.m., asking if she had gotten home yet. She hadn't even told her beforehand, leaving her constantly looking for her.

The club was suddenly cleared out after 10 p.m., which even alerted the police.

Dai Yilan was terrified.

Her mind was unclear, and she couldn't remember much about what happened at the club.

All I know is that when I regained consciousness, I was lying in this emergency room isolation ward.

Ning Xi and her boyfriend were both there watching over her.

Dai Yilan cupped Ning Xi's face, which was completely smudged with makeup, and said, "I'm really fine, smile!"

Ning Xi's smile was more like a grimace.

Dai Yilan used her two index fingers to gently poke the corners of her mouth, turning her pursed lips into a smile.

Wow, how can someone still look so beautiful even with their makeup smudged?

Dai Yilan looked intently into Ning Xi's eyes, feeling sorry for her for staying up so late to take care of herself.

"Xibao, I need to tell you seriously, don't take all the blame for what happened tonight."

"If I hadn't gone to that club, I wouldn't have met that scumbag Wen Jingyan."

Then the series of events that followed would not have happened.

Wen Jingyan's dirty tricks, even if she hadn't met him at the club tonight, these things still happened.

He would also use other means to force Ning Xi.

She even felt that this time bomb had exploded tonight. Well, that's fine.

Although the night was dangerous, thankfully they were all unharmed.

If Ning Xi is threatened because of her, and Wen Jingyan succeeds, she will never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Because of Ning Xi's boyfriend's tall and slender figure standing outside the cubicle, Dai Yilan strangely didn't think about what to do if Wen Jingyan came to take revenge.

The sense of security Ning Xi gets from her boyfriend is just too strong.

It's so strong that just seeing him gives you the feeling that there's nothing he can't handle and no one he can't solve.

It is so powerful that it puts people at ease.

Dai Yilan has a very positive outlook.

Wen Jingyan is going to retaliate; worrying is useless.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.

Ning Xi looked at Teacher Dai's weak and pale face, gently flipped the towel wrapped with ice, and placed it on her face where the swelling had subsided.

She wasn't thinking about anything right now; she just hoped the swelling on Teacher Dai's cheek would go down quickly.

I also hope that I can help Teacher Dai share her pain.

She thought that once Teacher Dai regained consciousness and realized that she had put her in danger, he would regret having met her as a colleague and regret being her friend.

Teacher Dai didn't; in fact, she kept comforting her.

A wave of soreness welled up in Ning Xi's eyes and nose.

Dai Yilan saw a faint bluish-black tinge around Ning Xi's eyes, and her brows and eyes were filled with an unconcealable weariness, but her eyes were as clear and soft as ever.

She was heartbroken.

When she was feeling the worst, Ning Xi used ice water to wipe her body repeatedly to cool her down.

Dai Yilan propped herself up and gently opened her arms to hug her.

The phone showed that it was almost 3 a.m. Ning Xi and her boyfriend had been with her at the hospital for almost six hours.

She didn't dare call home and worry her family, so she contacted her ex-husband instead.

Hearing her ex-husband rushing in and talking to He Kezhou who was waiting outside, Dai Yilan called out.

Seeing her ex-husband and Ning Xi's boyfriend walk in, she released Ning Xi from her embrace and said in a gentle but firm tone, "Xi Xi, my darling, I have someone to take care of me now. You and your boyfriend should go home quickly. Once you're home, send me a message to let me know you're safe."

"From now on, don't think about anything, just go home and get a good night's sleep."

"When I wake up tomorrow, if the sky has fallen, let it fall."

Ning Xi didn't want Teacher Dai to worry, so she suppressed all her bad emotions and nodded seriously.

She and He Kezhou were sent out of the cubicle by Teacher Dai's ex-husband.

The man was polite and well-mannered, and kept telling Ning Xi that he was very grateful to her for taking care of Teacher Dai tonight.

The hospital corridor was quiet in the early morning.

He Kezhou took her hand, which had been hanging limply.

He Kezhou stared at her face, where the foundation was smudged by fatigue, and the dark circles under her eyes made her delicate and beautiful face lose some of its luster. Her eyes were filled with the weariness of being suppressed.

He squatted down in front of Ning Xi. "Get on."

Ning Xi climbed onto He Kezhou's strong back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

He Kezhou carried her with steady and powerful steps.

Ning Xi's nerves relaxed at this moment.

The fear that Teacher Dai dared not show suddenly surged up all at once.

She sobbed silently against He Kezhou's neck, her shoulders trembling violently.

She always seems to cause trouble for those around her.

It seems like she always manages to bring bad things to the people around her.

Warm tears fell onto his neck, burning He Kezhou so much that he stopped abruptly in his tracks.

He Kezhou turned his head, his gaze falling on Ning Xi's red-rimmed eyes.

When He Kezhou approached her, Ning Xi bit her lip hard, trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't stop crying.

He Kezhou felt a sharp pain in his chest and internal organs.

He tightened his jaw, his lips pressed into a straight line, his voice filled with intense emotion: "Ning Xi, if I weren't in the car tonight, and you were threatened alone, would you call me immediately?"

Ning Xi, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, stared blankly into his deep, dark eyes.

He Kezhou stared at her red, tear-filled eyes, not letting her look away even slightly.

When people are in a state of panic, they are prone to making irrational decisions.

In fact, we can't wait that long, and we can't care about that much.

He Kezhou was scared.

He dared not imagine what would happen if Ning Xi were to get into trouble—

The thought had barely formed when he nipped it in the bud.

Ning Xi, absolutely nothing can happen to you.
