Chapter 619: Chapter 619

Originally, everything was going smoothly. On the day Zhou Mo and Lin Mu arrived in Beijing, she even went to the train station to meet them. But who could have imagined that just as she went downstairs to buy something, she would be hit by a basketball. And being hit was one thing, but while dodging the ball, she was struck by a bicycle, and then, to make matters worse, she crashed into a roadside barrier. Then she distinctly heard a snap, like the sound of a bone fracturing, and the pain made her scream on the spot. Follow current novels on novel★fire.net

The guy playing with the ball and the one on the bike were both terrified and hurriedly tossed aside the ball and the bike, rushing over to her.

They wanted to lift her up and take her to the health office, but she was in so much pain that even breathing felt suffocating. Her loud screams had attracted quite a crowd, including a group of guys dressed in basketball jerseys like the one with the ball, discussing what to do with seven different opinions. Surrounded by boys for the first time in her life, Yiyi also felt panicked.

Fortunately, Zhou Mo’s call came through at just the right moment, easing her embarrassment, but the sense of grievance made her tears uncontrollable, falling as she talked, her voice changing due to the pain, making Zhou Mo on the other end of the line extremely anxious.

Since they were not far from the dormitory, Zhou Mo rushed over on his bike within five minutes and his face darkened when he saw the state she was in.

If looks could kill, the two clueless boys standing there would have been riddled with holes by now.

"What are you doing standing there? Help me hold the bike, now!" Zhou Mo snapped at the guys in the basketball jerseys, and Yiyi, thinking they weren’t to blame, tugged at his shirt. Zhou Mo shot her a glare.

The boy wasn’t as tall as Zhou Mo, and he trembled a bit when Zhou Mo yelled at him, hurriedly coming over to hold Zhou Mo’s bicycle.

Zhou Mo carefully asked her questions, examined her body, and after determining that she might have dislocated her ankle, he picked her up around the waist, easily standing up. This subtle gesture relieved Yiyi, who had been nervous she was too heavy and that would create an embarrassing situation for both of them.

This was the first time Zhou Mo had held her . Usually, he either gave her a ride on his bike or carried her on his back; rarely did he give her a princess carry.

Therefore, Yiyi’s face turned red with embarrassment, especially since there were so many onlookers; she still cared about her face being shown in public.

After she was settled on the back seat of the bike, another boy very astutely picked up the items that Yiyi had dropped. When he saw what was in the bag, his face turned red.

Taking the bag from him, Yiyi wondered why his face was so red, but then she looked down and suddenly remembered she had gone out to buy sanitary pads. Emma, now that’s embarrassing. She waved her hands hurriedly, "It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m also to blame,"

"What do you mean it’s your fault? Clearly it’s his fault!" Zhou Mo took over his bike, immediately glaring at the boy in the jersey, "What’s your name? What department are you in? Don’t you know you can’t play ball on the road? With such a large playing field surrounded by barriers, how could the ball fly out? You definitely played outside, didn’t you?"

"Sorry, sorry! It was my teammate who passed it to me while he was on the phone. I didn’t hear it clearly, and the ball hit her by mistake. Hello, I’m Ding Yi, a sophomore from the Architecture Department. I’ll take responsibility for this. The biking incident wasn’t this friend’s fault; please let him go, okay?"

Unexpectedly, this guy named Ding Yi seemed pretty manly, and the guy on the bike was also very polite and well-mannered.

"To be honest, I was also distracted while biking, so I’m partly responsible. Hello fellow student, I’m Guan Heng from the sophomore Law School."

All three boys were over 1.8 meters tall. Guan Heng looked pretty refined with glasses on, while Ding Yi looked sunny in his basketball jersey. However, Zhou Mo, standing between the two, overshadowed them. In the end, all three accompanied her to the health office.

The doctor immediately said it was a dislocation. The doctors at the Tsinghua health office were exceedingly professional; they diverted her attention and with a snap, the dislocated joint was back in place. Yiyi’s scream could have pierced through three floors without exaggeration.

Both of her knees were grazed, but since it was cold and she had thick clothes on, there was a layer of protection, so the problem wasn’t very serious. But it still affected her ability to walk, and under her circumstances, the doctor suggested she should not exert force for a week. If it heals quickly, that’s great; if not, she should rest more.

Ding Yi paid the medical fees, while Guan Heng offered to pay, but Ding Yi didn’t allow it. Both stood in the health office awkwardly.

"Otherwise, give me your class schedule. I’ll pick you up and drop you off for classes this week."

"Right, me too. Let’s exchange numbers so it’ll be easier to contact each other in case anything comes up."

Zhou Mo wanted to refuse outright, but considering his own schedule was indeed very packed, and worrying there might be instances where he’d miss something, and considering all her roommates were girls who might not be able to carry her, the thought of two guys holding his girlfriend made him feel incredibly sour inside.

After weighing his options, he reluctantly refused: "No need."

"Fellow student, she’s your girlfriend, we all know that, and we just want to help her out of goodwill, nothing more. You can rest assured of that."

Ding Yi couldn’t help but chuckle, "We’re all sophomores, and you two are the Computer Department’s recognized couple. I can promise you that, so don’t worry too much. We both have bikes, and I’ve heard that you’re pursuing a double degree. Are you sure you can be there at the drop of a hat?"

Guan Heng immediately nodded in agreement, "Yeah, yeah, let’s exchange phone numbers. Rest assured, for this week we’ll definitely be available on call to ensure Miss Zhou’s leg is well taken care of. If she’s better after a week, we won’t intrude further. If not, we’ll continue; it’s our responsibility, right? And to express my apologies, I’ll cover this week’s meals for Miss Zhou."

Upon reflection, Ding Yi looked at Zhou Mo: "He’s taking care of your girlfriend’s meals; how about I cover yours?"

With a snort of laughter, Yiyi tugged on Zhou Mo’s shirt, signaling him not to make it difficult for them anymore. Seeing the sincerity of the two, Zhou Mo no longer put on airs and nodded at them, "Then I’ll have to trouble you two."

"No need to be so formal, it’s only right," so all four exchanged numbers. Outside the girls’ dormitory, they could help her out, but inside, her roommates would have to be bothered. Fortunately, at just 1.6 meters tall and around ninety jin, Yiyi wasn’t too heavy. Zou Wenqing easily picked her up. Seeing their struggle, Zhou Mo announced, "This week, we’ll cover all your three meals a day."

Qiao Shan got excited at that, "You mean it? Any standard is okay?"

Zhou Mo uncommonly earnest, said, "Of course, but under one condition: you’ve got to take good care of her. Don’t let her take showers."
