What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

The students in the audience all quieted down, immersed in the beautiful singing, and the teachers also smiled with appreciation.

However, just in the middle of the performance, an accident suddenly occurred. For some reason, the rack used to hang the lighting equipment above the bright stage suddenly made a frightening creaking sound, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet campus. Then, the rack began to shake violently, and before everyone could react, it fell straight to the center of the stage.

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience, and the students covered their eyes in fear. The teachers also changed their expressions and stood up and shouted loudly. At that moment, Lin Ruize subconsciously widened his eyes, with fear and determination in his eyes. He did not hesitate to push Su Yaoyao away from him, shouting: "Yaoyao, run!" Su Yaoyao was pushed and staggered, falling to the side of the stage, out of the danger zone. Lin Ruize himself quickly jumped to the edge of the stage, trying to avoid the falling shelf.

But the stage was too high. When Lin Ruize landed, he heard a "crack" and a sharp pain came from his leg. He couldn't help but scream. His face turned pale as paper in an instant. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. His lips trembled slightly because of the pain. He rolled on the ground holding his legs, his eyes full of pain and despair.

The teachers and classmates in the audience rushed onto the stage. Su Yaoyao didn't care about the pain from her fall. She got up and ran towards Lin Ruize. Her eyes were full of fear and worry. Tears rolled in her eyes and burst out in the blink of an eye, flowing down her cheeks. She ran to Lin Ruize, squatted down, and wanted to touch his legs with trembling hands. She was afraid of hurting him, so she could only look at him anxiously, shouting: "Lin Ruize, what's wrong with you? Don't leave me!" Her voice became choked because of crying.

Soon, the school staff called the emergency number 120, and Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan also rushed to the school anxiously. Seeing her son lying on the ground in pain, Lin Wanyi's face turned pale, her lips kept trembling, and her eyes were full of panic. She rushed to Lin Ruize desperately, hugged him with trembling hands, and kept comforting him: "Baby, don't be afraid, mom is here, mom is here." Although Jiang Tingyan tried to stay calm, his clenched fists and the protruding blue veins on his forehead still exposed his inner anxiety.

Lin Ruize was carried to the ambulance and sent to the hospital. Along the way, Lin Wanhua held her son's hand tightly. Her hand was cold due to nervousness, but she still held it tightly, as if it was her son's only support. Her eyes were full of self-blame and regret. She blamed herself for not discovering her son's talent in art earlier. If she could give him more support and encouragement, perhaps such an accident would not have happened.

After a series of examinations at the hospital, the doctor told Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan in a serious tone that Lin Ruize's leg fracture was very serious and required immediate surgery. Although the risk of surgery was not particularly high, it would take a long time to recover after the surgery. During the recovery period, Lin Ruize had to strictly follow the doctor's instructions and could not walk around at will.

Lin Wanyi felt heavy in her heart after hearing the doctor's words. She felt so distressed when she saw her son lying on the hospital bed, looking pale with pain. However, Lin Ruize endured the pain, tried to force out a smile, and said to his mother, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry." His voice was trembling a little because of the pain, but his pretending to be strong made Lin Wanyi feel so distressed.

The operation went smoothly. When Lin Ruize was pushed out of the operating room, he was still under anesthesia. His face was still pale, his lips were slightly open, and his breathing was steady and weak.

Lin Wanyi stayed by the bedside, awake all night, her eyes fixed on her son's face, afraid to miss the moment he woke up. From time to time, she gently stroked her son's forehead with her hand, her eyes full of love and worry. The next day, Lin Ruize finally opened his eyes slowly. He saw his mother's haggard face and was moved. He moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but he couldn't make a sound because of the dry throat.

When Lin Wanyi saw her son wake up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly picked up a glass of water and carefully fed it to her son. After Lin Ruize drank a few sips of water, his voice gradually recovered. He whispered to his mother, "Mom, you have worked hard." Lin Wanyi couldn't help crying again. She held her son's hand tightly and said, "Silly boy, as long as you are okay, it's fine."

A few days later, after school, Su Yaoyao, accompanied by her parents, came to Lin Ruize's house to visit him with a basket of fruits and a bouquet of flowers. She knocked on the door gently, and when the door opened, she saw Lin Wanyi and greeted her obediently, "Hello, Auntie." Then she couldn't wait to walk into the house and went straight to Lin Ruize's room.

When she saw Lin Ruize lying on the hospital bed with his leg in a plaster cast, a hint of heartache flashed across her eyes and tears welled up in her eyes again.

She walked to the bed, put the fruits and flowers on the cabinet beside her, then squatted down, looked at Lin Ruize, and said in a choked voice: "Lin Ruize, are you feeling better? I... I was so worried about you." As she spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Lin Ruize was moved when he saw Su Yaoyao crying. He tried to sit up a little and comforted her with a smile, "Yaoyao, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine. I just hurt my leg. It will be fine after a while. Don't cry."

Su Yaoyao listened, wiped her tears, nodded and said: "Well, you must get better soon, it's all my fault, if I had reacted faster, you wouldn't have been hurt." Lin Ruize waved his hand and said: "Don't say that, Yaoyao, the situation was so urgent, how could I watch you get hurt, and besides, it's not a big deal for me."

The two chatted back and forth, and Su Yaoyao told Lin Ruize about the funny things that happened in school, trying to cheer him up. Lin Ruize listened with great interest, and would occasionally interject a few words. The laughter of the two echoed in the room, making the atmosphere, which was originally a little dull due to injuries, a little more relaxed.

Lin Wanyi watched the two children interacting with each other and felt a little relieved. She knew that although her son was injured in the accident, he also gained a precious friendship. Perhaps this was also a different kind of growth. (End of this chapter)
