The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.
Chapter 31 Ignorance
Xi Molin opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was white. It took him a long time to realize that he was in the hospital and that his sister was by his side.
"MoMo, you're awake! Wait a minute..."
Shu Xiangyu was overjoyed and immediately called the doctor, who performed various tests on Xi Molin, and thankfully everything was normal.
"Are you thirsty? The doctor said you can drink less water."
"No... thirst."
Her voice was extremely hoarse and low.
Ximerlin felt pain all over her body, especially in her chest, where she grimaced in pain even when she tried to move.
Shu Xiangyu quickly pressed her down, his brows furrowed: "Hey... don't move around, you have two broken ribs on your right side, you need to rest for a while."
"How...did I get to the hospital?"
Schimerling only remembered collapsing on the stone pavement of the Four-Arch Bridge, a place where few people passed by.
“You’re one to talk. When I got home last night and you weren’t there, I was so worried. My mom, Xiangjun, and I looked for you everywhere. We called my dad and he asked a friend at the police station to look for you. Luckily, an old man named Liu was passing by the Four-Arch Bridge and found you. He took you to the hospital and then called the police. We only came to the hospital after we heard the news.”
Shu Xiangyu felt both heartache and lingering fear as she recalled what happened last night.
"I'm sorry to have worried you all."
Xi Molin felt bad too. Not only had she caused so much trouble, but she had also spent money on hospitalization, which made her feel very guilty.
Shu Xiangyu gently touched her pale face, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Silly girl, what happened to you? Why were you beaten up like this?"
Xi Molin didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. The root cause was her sister, but that was only part of the reason. The most important thing was that she wanted to defeat Lu Xiyi.
Even though she knew she was no match for him, she was still determined to fight to the death and defeat him!
"Sister, do you... have someone you like?"
As soon as she asked the question, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Shu Xiangyu looked surprised: "Why do you ask that?"
Schimerlin moistened her slightly chapped lips; she seemed to have crossed a line.
She didn't know why she asked that question; perhaps it was because Lu Xiyi was so infatuated with her that he was almost obsessed.
"Actually, there was a time... That boy wasn't very good at academics, but he was great at basketball, very tall and handsome, with bright eyes and dimples. His smile was especially sunny. In our first year of high school, we secretly started dating. The most intimate thing we did was secretly hold hands on the way home. If we had something we didn't dare say to each other in person, we would write letters to each other. Back then, we were afraid of being found out, so we almost never dared to be near each other at school. He was very good to me, but in our second year of high school, because of class reassignment, we gradually drifted apart. He went to Beijing now, and we've lost contact..."
After a long silence, Shu Xiangyu's eyes held a faint smile, but her mood clearly turned somber. She finally revealed the deepest secret hidden in her heart.
That innocent first love was pure and beautiful. The class separation was just the trigger between the two. The real reason was that they had different ambitions and were too young and impetuous to compromise with each other, so they gradually separated.
Seeing her lost and dejected, Shimmering felt a strange pang of sadness rise in his heart.
Perhaps, when facing someone you truly care about, you might feel a sense of resentment at not being able to have them when you learn that they have someone else they care about even more.
As the younger sister, she already becomes the object of others' jealousy. Will the person her older sister likes in the future suffer even more unexpected hostility, after all, her older sister is so good, so gentle, and so beautiful?
"So do you still like him now?"
Shu Xiangyu shook her head, seemingly having let go, and smiled like spring: "For me, it was just a beautiful past. It was a little painful when we parted, but so much time has passed, I've long since let go, and I've almost forgotten what he looks like."
Schimerlin didn't know if she was telling the truth, but he sincerely hoped she could let it go.
I won't tell anyone about your affairs.
Shu Xiangyu's gaze was gentle: "It's alright, you should rest first. I'll go call Mom and Dad."
As Xi Molin watched her departing figure, a strange feeling welled up inside her, though she didn't quite understand what it was; a bittersweet feeling welled up in her chest.
Shu Xiangyu was making a phone call at the nurses' station when Shu Yunrong and Shu Xiangjun arrived.
Has Momo woken up?
Shu Yunrong looked worried.
"Yes, I just woke up not long ago. The doctor checked me and there's nothing wrong. I just called my mom and told her."
Shu Xiangjun continued, "Sister, do you know that this whole thing started because of you!"
Shu Xiangyu looked at him in surprise: "Because of me... what exactly happened? I asked Momo, but she wouldn't tell me."
Shu Xiangjun shook his head: "I'm not sure of the specific reason, we should ask Momo!"
So the three of them went to Schimerlin's bedside and waited for her to confess.
Schimerling could only slowly explain the situation to them, down to the smallest detail, because it involved calling the police, so he had to explain everything clearly.
When Shu Xiangyu heard that Lu Xiyi was so badly beaten that she couldn't stand up, yet she still insisted on continuing to fight Lu Xiyi, she covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief, heartache, and tears welling up.
Shu Yunrong looked on with admiration. As a tough soldier, he admired people like him the most. Mo Mo was only thirteen years old, but he already had a spirit that many people could hardly surpass.
"Little Momo, you're amazing! I heard from Coach Tang that that thug was a level 2 Taekwondo practitioner, and you've only been learning Taekwondo for a little over a month, yet you dared to spar with him!"
Shu Xiangjun was truly impressed by her courage.
Xi Molin lowered his eyes shyly: "Actually, I know I can't beat him, I'm just more ruthless than him..."
"I never would have guessed! You're such a quiet person, but you have this side to you."
Shu Xiangjun continued to praise her.
"MoMo, how do you plan to handle this?"
Shu Yunrong asked her solemnly.
Xi Molin's eyes showed seriousness: "I'll listen to Rong's father."
Shu Yunrong nodded: "Then you should take good care of your injuries first, and I'll go to the police station again."
As he spoke, he patted Shu Xiangjun on the shoulder: "You and Xiaoyu stay here with Momo. Don't do anything illegal, understand?"
Shu Xiangjun naturally understood what he meant: "Dad, am I that kind of person? Don't worry, I won't go looking for that bastard."
After Shu Yunrong left, Shu Xiangyu sat down by the hospital bed. She held Momo's hand, her heart filled with heartache: "Silly blockhead, how could you be so foolish? You're still so young, and that person is so much taller than you, how could you dare..."
Feeling the delicate touch and warmth of her hand, Ximerlin said sincerely, "Although I am young, I must protect my sister, especially since he insulted my family!"
"you…"
Shu Xiangyu really didn't know what to say. Should she blame her for fighting with others without thinking, or should she blame her for protecting herself? How could she blame her?
But the thought of being so carefully protected by the petite Momo made her incredibly sad. She was both touched by Momo's naivety and pitied her for all the injuries she had suffered.
"Mo Mo, well done, but remember to call me next time you get into a fight."
Shu Xiangjun fully agreed with her approach. Some things cannot be resolved by simply enduring them. Even if you are hurt, you must stand up for yourself.
"Say less... Momo, does it hurt a lot?"
She noticed a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and her brows furrowed.
She asked the nurse if the fracture was serious, but if she didn't take painkillers, the pain would be particularly severe for the first few days.
While speaking to them, Schimerlin had been holding back from making a sound, but now he could no longer bear it and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Xiangjun, go and tell the doctor to see if we can give you a painkiller injection."
Shu Xiangjun immediately went to the doctor's office.
Shu Xiangyu wiped her sweat with a tissue, his brows furrowing and his eyes filled with worry, as if he were in pain as well: "Silly girl, don't force yourself if you're not feeling well, you know..."
The gentlest voice soothed Xi Molin's agitated heart, which was filled with pain. She nodded, her eyes reddening, and whispered softly, "Sister, it hurts..."
Shu Xiangyu's heart suddenly clenched. She looked out of the ward; the doctor had not yet arrived.
Clutching the tissue, I really wanted to punch that bastard a few times.
She leaned down, forehead to forehead, hers noticeably warmer than her own.
Suddenly, they were so close together. Xi Molin felt the coolness from her forehead and her soft breath brushing against his face. She lowered her eyes and remained silent, her heart beating faster and her face burning.
Shu Xiangyu was completely unaware of his own actions; when he placed his palm on her small face, he also felt it was very hot.
"Mo Mo, do you have a fever? You're so hot."
"do not know…"
Schimerling could no longer tell whether she had a high fever or was nervous because of her proximity.
After the doctor finished his work, he carefully examined her condition and told the family that children are different from adults, and painkillers cannot be used indiscriminately. He could only prescribe some painkillers for now. The nurse would then bring a thermometer to measure her temperature, but in the early stages of an injury, there is inflammation in her body, so her temperature would naturally be higher than usual.
Shu Xiangjun then went with the doctor to get a prescription, and then rushed downstairs to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine.
The nurse came to take my temperature, and thankfully it was only 37.2 degrees Celsius, which is not considered a low-grade fever.
Shu Xiangyu was relieved.
Shu Xiangjun brought the medicine up. As per the doctor's instructions, he could only take half a pill. The medicine would take effect in about half an hour.
However, the sleepy Schimerlin had gradually fallen asleep.
In the afternoon, Yang Yufen arrived at the hospital and was deeply moved after learning the general outline of the incident.
She stroked Momo's head and said gently, "You can't be so impulsive in the future. Fighting won't solve all problems. You're still young and don't understand that there are many more open and hidden attacks in this society. However, I'm proud of you for what happened this time."
Schimerlin nodded gently: "Yes, I know. I will be more careful in the future."
"Ruzi can be taught!"
Yang Yufen was both gratified and fortunate. Through this experience, she deeply felt that adopting Momo was the right decision.
Shu Yunrong went to the police station again and explained everything to the police. After much deliberation, he decided to sue Lu Xiyi for intentional injury. He did this not only for Momo, but also to seek justice for Lu Xiyi's insults against Momo's family members who died in the earthquake.
That evening, Lü Hui, carrying various fruits and information that Lu Xiyi had somehow obtained, unexpectedly appeared at the hospital.
They wanted to personally apologize to Schimerlin and hoped to resolve the matter peacefully through negotiation.
As soon as she entered the ward, Lü Hui placed a large amount of fruit on the bedside table. The Shu family refused to accept it, but she insisted on keeping it.
However, when she saw the girl with a face full of injuries, her head wrapped in gauze, and who looked extremely thin and weak, her smiling face immediately showed surprise. The words she had prepared beforehand were stuck in her throat, and the pleading words she wanted to say seemed pale and ridiculous.
She knew her son was stubborn and inflexible, and easily angered, but she never expected that the person he hit would be so much younger than him.
Lu Xiyi stood coldly at the door of the ward, seemingly having no intention of apologizing to Xi Molin.
As Shu Xiangyu stood by the bed and looked closely, she finally recognized Lu Xiyi as the boy who often watched them dance in the dance studio…
It turns out he had planned this all along!
She, who was usually calm and composed, walked up to him in a fit of anger. Before he could react, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. The crisp sound stunned everyone.
"How dare you hit my sister! What right do you have to hit her!"
Shu Xiangyu questioned him sternly.
Lu Xiyi's left cheek instantly burned with pain; he never imagined that their first conversation would turn out like this.
He, who had always been proud and pampered, had never been treated like this before. However, when faced with the person he had liked for so long, he lost the confidence to fight back.
A deep, bitter sadness welled up in his throat.
Faced with her questioning, he did not look away, but hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet her gaze. He didn't know how to answer, and unusually said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."
Seeing that the girl was tall and beautiful, Lü Hui knew that this was the girl her son liked.
She felt heartbroken that her son had been beaten, but dared not speak out in his defense, so she could only endure it, since she still wanted to reconcile with them privately.
"It's all our fault. We will do everything we can to compensate the girl and sincerely apologize to her. We just beg you not to sue my son, otherwise his life will be ruined. Please, please..."
Lu Hui kept bowing and apologizing, and her words of remorse and repentance sounded sincere.
But Shu Xiangyu was burning with rage. Her eyes were filled with anger as she said bitterly, "Why not prosecute! Shouldn't he be held responsible for his actions? Look at him! My sister is so small and thin, and he could still do that to her. Besides, Momo had no grudge against him. She was beaten like this for no reason. Does he even have any humanity?"
She was furious and berated him without giving Lü Hui any face for her desperate pleas.
Seeing his sister so fiercely defending him, Shimmering suddenly felt that even the worst injury was worth it.
Shu Xiangjun added, "Moreover, he knew perfectly well that Momo was an orphan from the Wenchuan earthquake, and that all her relatives were gone. Not only did he show no pity, but he also repeatedly insulted Momo's family. If you were in his shoes, could you forgive him?"
Lü Hui was not an ignorant or unreasonable woman. She had followed her husband around the country doing construction projects for many years, and had neglected to discipline her son, which led to his willful and arrogant behavior.
She just didn't expect that the little girl in the hospital bed would be an earthquake orphan.
After her initial shock and grief, she walked up to her son, her heart aching with anger and indignation. She raised her hand and slapped him on the back, repeatedly questioning him: "Is what they said true? Is it true...?"
The usually unruly Lu Xiyi finally lowered his head and forced out a single word: "Yes..."
Lu Hui stopped moving. She and her husband had witnessed the devastation of the Wenchuan earthquake firsthand, and she could not help but understand the feelings of this family.
They always thought their son would change for the better, but their repeated indulgence only made him more and more brazen in bullying others.
Over the years, all my earnest advice has been met with harsh rejection, all my hopes have vanished, and now only deep despair remains…
She looked at Xi Molin, her eyes filled with tears, and said apologetically, "Young lady, on behalf of my son, I sincerely apologize to you. Regardless of whether we file a lawsuit or not, we will cover your medical expenses."
After she finished speaking, she dragged her dejected body out of the ward.
Lu Xiyi left without saying a word.
Seeing that the two had finally left, they breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the parents they encountered were not unreasonable and were quite reasonable, making the matter much easier to resolve.
