Chapter 231: I’ll Get External Help

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In a flash, before Yang Xin knew what had happened, she was pushed away by Murong Qiao from where she was standing.

She looked at Murong Qiao in confusion and saw a flower pot landing beside her.

The speed was unbelievable. There was no time to think. Murong Qiao pushed Yang Xin out of the range with her hand, and her outstretched hand was ruthlessly scratched.

“All!” She couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

An unbearable pain came from the back of her hand. It was almost unbearable.

Yang Xin reacted in the next second and hurriedly pounced on Murong Qiao. “Qiaoqiao!”

She looked at Murong Qiao’s hands anxiously. When it fell, its original weight was no longer important. The force acc.u.mulated by the height was enough to break a person’s bones.

Murong Qiao had deliberately avoided the direction of the flower pot’s fall just now, but when she reached out to push Yang Xin away, she was inevitably affected.

Her hands were trembling slightly, and there were many scratches on her delicate porcelain-white skin. The back of her right hand was also bruised. Just looking at it was shocking and painful.

“This…” Yang Xin was a little helpless.

Her eyes immediately turned red. She wanted to check Murong Qiao’s injuries, but she didn’t dare to touch her hand. She looked at Murong Qiao with worry and self-blame.

If it weren’t for her, Murong Qiao wouldn’t have been injured.

More importantly, it was the Orientation Party tonight! Murong Qiao had also rehea.r.s.ed for a few days for the piano solo, and now her hand was injured…

Yang Xin lowered her head. She didn’t even dare to think about that scene.

Murong Qiao slowly took a deep breath, trying to suppress the pain. Seeing Yang Xin like this, she smiled and comforted her.

She used her still intact elbow to touch Yang Xin. “Don’t cry. At least you’re fine.”

Her hand was still hurting slightly. From time to time, the cut reminded Murong Qiao of what had happened just now. Especially the hand that had been sc.r.a.ped, it had even started to become numb after a while.

Murong Qiao slowly inhaled and exhaled, trying to lessen the pain. Then, she looked up as if she had sensed something.

The edge of the roof was empty. There was nothing but the blue sky.

Was it the wind? Or…

Murong Qiao hid the deep thought in her eyes and suppressed the suspicion to comfort Yang Xin. “Unfortunately, we can’t go to lunch together now.”

“How can you joke at a time like this?” Yang Xin glared at her angrily and pulled Murong Qiao to the school doctor’s office without a word.

Yang Xin didn’t say anything along the way because of the strong sense of self-blame and guilt..

Fortunately, the school doctor was still around and helped Murong Qiao to check on her injuries.

“Student, I suggest you take leave and go to the hospital to take a look. You might have hurt your bones. I’m only helping you stabilize your injuries now and it won’t accelerate the healing.” The school doctor was a very gentle woman.

She quickly wrapped a bandage around Murong Qiao’s hands. “Try not to move too much. Your wounds can’t get wet either.”

The school doctor explained the things to take note of. The bandage, which was supposed to be temporary, was done in a few minutes.

“Thank you.” Murong Qiao stood up and bade farewell.

She raised her arm and looked at her bandaged hands before moving them tentatively.

The bandages hindered the sharpest touch, making her movements less smooth and uncomfortable. Although she could wear white gloves to cover herself when she went on stage, playing the piano would definitely be affected.

Murong Qiao frowned, but there was no better solution at the moment. Running away at the last minute was not her style.

In the evening, when the partic.i.p.ants of the performance gathered at the venue in advance, Murong Qiao, whose hand was bandaged, instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

“Murong, why are you—” The president was the first to run over and ask about the situation.

Murong Qiao was in charge of the finale show. It was the most outstanding segment to begin with. There could not be any mistakes.

The president’s gaze fell on the bandage on her hand, and her worry turned into frustration.

Now that there was a problem, Murong Qiao definitely wouldn’t be able to achieve the same effect as during the rehearsal. As the organizer of this event, the president wanted to say that she shouldn’t change the program, but she couldn’t say it when she met Murong Qiao’s eyes.

It wasn’t easy for them to prepare for many days. It wasn’t like they didn’t see the hard work of the rehearsal. If they removed it now, it would seem too heartless.

Murong Qiao told the president what happened at noon today.

She explained the reason for her wound. “It happened so suddenly. This is already a good outcome.”

A flower pot that fell for no reason… and at such a critical time. As long as one wasn’t a fool, they knew that there was a high chance that this wasn’t a coincidence.

The president frowned and nodded solemnly.

“I will investigate this matter after the party, but your hand is injured to this extent…” The president was a little hesitant.

Tang Yan, who was hiding in the crowd, also heard this clearly. Her eyes flickered, and her face flashed for a moment as if she had expected it. Her expression was as calm as a pa.s.serby.

This way, Murong Qiao, who had no choice but to cancel her performance and Feng Xinyao would be able to take back what belonged to her.

Unexpectedly, Murong Qiao shook her head. “I’m fine. The show will go on as usual.”

The relaxed smile on her face successfully aroused suspicion. The president looked at her in confusion and then saw the famous School Hunk Huo Yichen walk in from behind Murong Qiao.

“Do you mind if I ask for external help?” Murong Qiao blinked, her eyes bright and cunning.

Huo Yichen was wearing a black tuxedo. When he entered, he nodded coldly and greeted everyone.

He looked around and then fixed his gaze on Murong Qiao.

What a sudden display of affection.

The president looked at Huo Yichen, who had appeared backstage. Her thoughts were in a mess for a second before returning to normal.

“Of course, there’s no problem. Besides, it’s all thanks to you that we were able to invite School Hunk Huo to appear.” The president’s tone was happy and did not seem to be fake.

In fact, with Huo Yichen’s good looks, the president had put him on the list of people she wanted to invite the most. Unfortunately, Huo Yichen was extremely cold and not easy to get close to. After she couldn’t even find him, the president decisively gave up on this idea.

Seeing how ready he was, the president even looked at Murong Qiao with admiration.

Hence, she waved her hand good-naturedly. “As long as Cla.s.smate Huo has no objections.”

She couldn’t wait to see Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen perform together!

Although she looked like the president on the surface, she was actually a fan of Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao’s CP. Seeing the two of them standing in front of her, she was extremely excited.

Wouldn’t this be like the official distribution of candy!

Seeing that she had agreed, Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. As long as everything else is normal, we can communicate on our own.”

She was also worried that the president would not agree to add someone in at the last minute.

This matter was decided simply. There was still half an hour before the performances began, and the president could not wait to see the audience’s reaction later..
