A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Seventeen-year-old Jiang Yi still had a youthful air about her, like a dewdrop in the morning, lively and bright. Her crescent-shaped eyes, which curved in a smile, always made people feel more affection for her.

"Che, I want to eat the tofu pudding we had last time." Jiang Yi, who had just finished class, was lying on his desk, gesturing casually with a pen in his hand.

"get out of class is over?" Chi Ruiche had just graduated from university and joined the Chi Group, and he was incredibly busy every day. He hadn't seen Jiang Yi for a week. He glanced at the time; it was six in the afternoon. "You still have evening self-study today, right?"

"I still have one class left, I'm skipping dinner, you decide what to do." Jiang Yi was spoiled by them and had become somewhat arrogant, especially when facing Chi Ruiche.

"Okay, wait for me at the gate after school." Chi Ruiche rubbed his temples and shook his head helplessly.

"I'll wait for you." Jiang Yi instantly perked up after hanging up the phone and hurriedly started writing her test paper, so she could spend more time with him. She hadn't seen him for a week; Grandpa Chi must have assigned him a lot of tasks, so this was a good opportunity for him to leave work early and rest.

Jiang Yi was writing furiously when Jiang Yang called: "Xiao Yi, I'll pick you up for a late-night snack tonight. Your sister-in-law misses you."

"No way, you're so obsessed with your girlfriend, you don't care about me now. I'm too busy for you." Jiang Yi complained that Jiang Yangguang was too busy with his relationship, and that last week when he ate too much peach and had a stomachache, it was Chi Ruiche who picked him up and took him to the hospital.

“It wasn’t your sister-in-law’s birthday last time, so it wouldn’t have been good for me to leave suddenly.” Jiang Yang knew this kid was angry.

"I'm hanging up." Jiang Yi hung up angrily. She didn't have time to deal with Jiang Yang today. Chi Ruiche was the most important person, and no one could hold her back.

A boy with a buzz cut shouted at the classroom door: "Jiang Yi, Cheng Churui just said she's waiting for you in the cafeteria on the first floor. She said if you don't go, she'll wait for you at the school gate."

"Oh." Jiang Yiben didn't want to go. He couldn't let Cheng Churui delay his appointment with Chi Ruiche that night, so he reluctantly went to the cafeteria on the second floor.

Jiang Yi entered the cafeteria somewhat puzzled. It was lunchtime, so why was the usually noisy cafeteria so quiet?

"Jiang Yi." Cheng Chu Rui waved to Jiang Yi as soon as she saw him come in.

Jiang Yi noticed that Cheng Chu Rui was surrounded by a group of boys, and one of them was sitting leisurely eating. Jiang Yi realized something was wrong and turned to leave.

Suddenly, two boys stood at the door blocking your way. "Our brother Yue is treating you to dinner."

"Get out of the way." Jiang Yi glared at the two of them.

"Don't rush, we'll let you leave after we talk." The man with dyed red hair looked Jiang Yi up and down, his amused expression making Jiang Yi very unhappy.

“Young Master Jiang, don’t be anxious. We’re not here to cause trouble today.” Li Yue took a bite, slammed the tissue on the table, and slowly walked up to Jiang Yi. “Chu Rui is my sister. The little girl’s pride was hurt, and she cried so much last night that it broke my heart as her brother.”

"What does this have to do with me?" Cheng Churui turned her head to the side, not daring to look Jiang Yi in the eye.

"Today, you have two choices. One, you can try dating; two, you apologize to Chu Rui properly, and let this matter pass." Li Yue had been pestered by his cousin last night and, hearing Jiang Yi's arrogant and rude manner, he decided to come and meet him.

“I want to choose—the third path.” Jiang Yi pretended to tilt his head and touch the bracelet on his wrist, then punched Li Yue in the face when he wasn’t paying attention. “Do you think you’re a gangster?” Li Yue was stunned by Jiang Yi’s sudden attack.

Seeing their leader being beaten, the others rushed towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi picked up a nearby stool and threw it at them. With a scream, the person hit fell to the ground, groaning. Jiang Yi nimbly dodged their attacks, leaping and dodging. She saw a window and planned to climb out to escape.

Suddenly someone started harassing her. Before Jiang Yi could dodge, a baseball bat slammed into her arm. Pain instantly swept through her body, and her movements became increasingly slow.

Li Yue's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Young man, don't be too reckless. You'll only learn your lesson if you get beaten up." Li Yue approached Jiang Yi with light steps.

Suddenly someone shouted, "He's on the phone." Jiang Yi had just dialed Jiang Yang's number back when Jiang Yang heard a jumble of noise as soon as the call connected.

"help me."

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong?" Jiang Yang roared. "Jiang Yi, speak up." The phone was thrown on the ground and no one responded.

Li Yue shouted, "Go get his phone." Everyone rushed towards Jiang Yi, and the scene became chaotic again. A group of people grappled with each other, and Li Yue and Jiang Yi were squeezed in the middle.

"Ah!" In the chaos, a sharp knife plunged into Li Yue's chest, and his painful screams echoed in the empty cafeteria. Everyone stopped.

Li Yue clutched his chest as blood gushed out like a torrent. He collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in agony, his body trembling violently, and he cried out, "Save me, save me!"

One of the bolder henchmen tried to pull the knife out of Li Yue's body, but Jiang Yi shouted to stop him: "Don't pull it out, don't touch him."

Despite the discomfort in his arm, Jiang Yiqiang went to Li Yue's side, took off his coat, and wrapped it around the wound in a donut shape to cover the knife. He then pressed his hands around the wound to reduce bleeding.

"Save...me," Li Yue's voice trailed off.

"You absolutely mustn't sleep." Blood kept gushing out, seeping between his fingers, and Li Yue's breathing became even more difficult. "I'll cover it for you, you must hold on."

"Blood... Ahh..." Cheng Chu Rui covered her eyes and let out a piercing scream.

"Call an ambulance!" The others realized something was wrong and panicked as well.

Hao Xiao rushed out and swung a baseball bat at that moment. Jiang Yi couldn't dodge in time and instinctively raised his injured hand. The bat struck his right arm again. Jiang Yi's body began to sway, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he slumped backward, losing consciousness.

Jiang Yang had a premonition that something had happened to Jiang Yi, so he immediately called Chi Ruiche. At that moment, Chi Ruiche was walking out of the shop with two servings of tofu pudding. Upon hearing Jiang Yang's call, the tofu puddings involuntarily fell to the ground, and he rushed to the school as fast as he could.

When they arrived at the school cafeteria, it was already surrounded by police. The cafeteria was filled with a strong smell of blood. Jiang Yi and Li Yue were lying in pools of blood, their white shirts stained red, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.

“Drip—Drip—”

The ambulance arrived at the scene as quickly as possible, and two people were lifted onto the stretcher. At this moment, Li Yue's breathing was even weaker, and the emergency personnel prioritized resuscitation.

After identifying himself, Jiang Yang accompanied Jiang Yi to the hospital in the ambulance, while also informing Lü Haotian and the others to find out what had happened.

After two hours, the lights in the emergency room finally went out. "How is he?" Jiang Yang watched as the nurse wheeled Jiang Yi out, his right arm wrapped in bandages.

"His life is basically out of danger. He suffered a comminuted fracture of the radius and ulna in his right arm and has already undergone surgery. However, the risk of long-term complications cannot be ruled out. We hope to prepare for the worst-case scenario," the doctor stated, removing his mask.

"What do you mean? Aftereffects?" Abu rushed to the hospital immediately after hearing the call.

"What will happen?" Jiang Yang forced himself to calm down.

"The right hand will lose all function, and many patients will also experience symptoms such as numbness, tremors, and weakness. These problems can be improved through rehabilitation. Further examination is needed after the patient wakes up to determine the specific situation," the doctor described the potential problems tactfully.

"Dr. Ruan, Young Master Li has no heartbeat." The nurse rushed over, and Dr. Ruan immediately went into the operating room.

"Abu, you guys keep watch here. Xiao Che and I will go check on Xiao Yi." Jiang Yang and Chi Ruiche left together.
