After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

The ward was quiet.

Lu Ning opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say a word; language seemed inadequate at that moment.

After all, she had explained it countless times before, but her brother never believed her.

Lu Nanfeng's throat moved slightly, and he finally let go of her hand.

He looked at Lu Ning with disappointment: "If you continue to be so stubborn, even when your older brother comes back, I won't be able to protect you. Think about it carefully."

After Lu Nanfeng finished speaking, he left.

Lu Ning seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and leaned back against the headboard.

There was a self-deprecating glint in her eyes. What else could she be thinking?

Do you want to bow your head and try to please them as you did in your past life, only to end up being kicked out of your home and locked up in a mental hospital, where you die a miserable death?

She wouldn't agree.

"Take it!"

An ice pack wrapped in gauze appeared in front of her.

Lu Ning took the ice pack and applied it to her swollen and red cheek. She secretly glanced at the man next to her and whispered, "Thank you for earlier."

His voice was cold: "Why don't you explain?"

Lu Ning lowered her head and gave a bitter smile: "Believe it or not, I've explained this many times before, and even presented evidence, but they still don't believe me. They just think I'm lying."

The room fell into a brief silence.

Lu Ning didn't want to explain too much, as many outsiders didn't believe what she said and just thought she was disobedient.

"It's hard not to believe."

Lu Ning was slightly taken aback. Did he really believe what he said?

Ji Chiqian stepped forward and placed his hand on her forehead: "Your temperature has dropped."

Lu Ning was stunned; his hands were a little cool, which felt very comfortable.

She feels much better now and is not in so much pain.

She looked at his wrist: "Are the scars on your hand from a car accident too?"

Ji Chiqian's hand suddenly stopped and he quickly withdrew it.

He removed the empty IV drip and, after a long pause, answered, "That's right, it was a car accident."

His hands were resting on the edge of the table, and he kept his back to Lu Ning.

His profile was backlit, making it difficult to discern his expression.

"I have it too, on my leg."

Lu Ning pulled her skirt up a bit: "Here, doesn't it look a lot like your scar?"

Ji Chiqian turned around and saw her slender legs and fair skin, which made the scars on her thighs stand out.

However, it seemed that her skirt was lifted up a bit too high, revealing too much skin.

He glanced at it, then quickly turned his head away: "Kid, don't lift your skirt in front of men."

"But you're a doctor."

Ji Chiqian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but he was also a man.

Didn't anyone teach her these things?

He continued, "This scar can heal, so why not let it heal?"

Lu Ning's expression softened slightly, and a sharp pain shot through her heart.

Because her third brother, Lu Xicheng, said that this scar represents the existence of her parents, and that he would personally help her heal it when he had time in the future.

She believed it.

In the end, Lu Xicheng looked at the scar on her leg with disgust, saying he hated the scar and would never help her heal it.

It is said that she caused her parents' deaths.

She said the scars were her mark, that they caused her parents' deaths, and that she would remember it for the rest of her life.

She was devastated at the time, and even genuinely believed that she had caused her parents' deaths, so she became increasingly humble and ingratiating towards her brothers.

Lu Ning recalled the past, and felt so distressed that she could hardly breathe.

But she couldn't bring herself to say the reason, and instead asked, "Then what about you? Why aren't you getting treatment?"

"I'm a man, so it doesn't matter to me. But it would be better for the young lady to get treatment."

Lu Ning forced a smile: "Let's talk about it later."

Seeing that she had her head down, Ji Chiqian didn't say anything more.

He sat down next to me and turned on the TV.

Lu Ning noticed that the TV screen was showing a live game broadcast, and it was the very game that her sixth brother, Lu Liu, was currently participating in.

Sixth Brother's absence from Qin Xiang's banquet was due to this competition.

However, in the end, he lost to the young master of the Ji family in Beicheng.

Lu Ning recalled how, in her previous life, her sixth brother, Lu Liu, was severely mocked by his opponent after losing the competition.

After Sixth Brother returned, he was furious and reorganized the family team.

Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, and her.

Even if you fail in the qualifiers, there's still the revival round.

They made a comeback through the revival competition and eventually faced off against the young master of the Ji family in Beicheng in the national competition.

At that time, she spent a lot of time every day training in the game and studying the characteristics of the members of the Beicheng Ji family team, so that she could win against them in the competition.

Qin Xiang was not in the game.

Because Qin Xiang lacks gaming talent, she can only be a substitute and cannot play in the game.

So she enjoys the feeling of fighting alongside her brothers in the game, with no outsiders disturbing their family.

She even neglected to study for the college entrance exam because of this e-sports competition.

But after they won the crucial game and the championship was within their grasp, the older brothers stopped the match.

She was substituted, and Qin Xiang came on.

In the end, they won the competition and became national champions.

The brothers, carrying Qin Xiang, stood on the podium to receive first place, stepping on the fruits of her hard work.

Qin Xiang held her trophy in her arms, standing among her brothers, smiling happily.

As Lu Ning watched the game screen on TV, her heart felt like it had a hole that she couldn't mend.

"Why are you crying? This isn't a soap opera, why are you so emotional?"

Lu Ning snapped out of her daze and wiped the tears from her face. She had lost control of her emotions when she thought about her past life.

A piece of paper appeared before her eyes, and the man's fingers were long and beautiful.

She took the paper and looked at him a little shyly: "Do you know how to play this game?"

"Kid, the most important thing for you right now is to prepare for your exams, not play video games!"

Ji Chiqian sat in the chair, leaning back lazily, not looking at her, but focusing on the game.

Lu Ning also looked at the game screen and said seriously, "Lu Tian's team will lose."

Lu Tian Team, which is the team that Sixth Brother belongs to.

Ji Chiqian's lips curled slightly, and he said in a calm and unhurried tone, "It seems you have good taste."

After the match, Lu Tian's team lost without any suspense.

Lu Ning saw on the live stream that Sixth Brother Lu Liu's face was extremely ugly, and he even smashed his keyboard.

Sixth Brother has always had such a volatile temper.

She was actually a little happy to see her sixth brother lose the game.

When Sixth Brother returns, he will definitely reorganize the team. This time, she will not play for the Lu family again.

She wants to work hard for herself, become a professional player, and then earn money to go to university and support herself.

I no longer want to have my living expenses cut off at the drop of a hat, which is used to threaten her into obeying me, or even to make her give up a top-tier university and go to the second-tier university where Qin Xiang is.

She needs to be financially independent to break free from the Lu family's control.

Currently, professional gamers are not commercially favored, but with the rise of live streaming next year, they may be able to earn money through live streaming.

For her, this was the fastest and easiest way to make money, based on her experience with games from her past life.

Lu Ning made up her mind in secret.

After the live broadcast of the match ended, Ji Chiqian looked back, walked over to her, and removed the IV needle from her body.

He took a cotton swab and pressed it on the back of Lu Ning's hand: "The medicine is on the table, you can take it and leave."

"thank you!"

Lu Ning took the medicine and left the infirmary.

No sooner had she left than a young man walked in, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Brother Qian, it's rare to see you play the hero and save a damsel in distress. But this girl doesn't have a good reputation at school; she's been heavily criticized on the campus forum. Don't let her fool you."

Ji Chiqian leaned back in his chair, looking less aloof and more languid.

He asked casually, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I'm curious, why did you choose to become the school doctor at this high school? You didn't even go to watch Xiao Ji Mo's match, which made him distracted and looking for you during the match, and he almost got ambushed by that kid from the Lu family. Tell me the reason, and I'll leave right away."

Ji Chiqian took off his mask, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed the ugly scar.

Upon seeing this, Gu Zifeng's expression darkened: "So many years have passed, and you still haven't let go? That car accident back then had nothing to do with you! Wait, could this girl be...?"

"Shut up!"

Ji Shiqian closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the people around him.
