Chapter 12
“Wendao, just wait a minute…”
“Wait for what! Time is life now!”
“I know, but just supporting me is fine, don’t need to…”
“Your foot injury is important!! Why are you still trying to act brave now? Honestly let me carry you!”
“But…” What kind of back was this!!
Ye Zhou put his arms on Zhou Wendao’s shoulders and Zhou Wendao held Ye Zhou’s wrists together. Because of his height, Ye Zhou feet were still dragging on the ground.
Ye Zhou rolled his eyes to the heaven. Although not the shortest in the class, Zhou Wendao indeed had a gap difference with his height. Now, rather than saying that he was being carried on Zhou Wendao’s back, it’d be more precise to say that he was being dragged. He didn’t need to see it to visualize the scene of a mouse struggling to tow a dead dog on the road.
The left knee was aching and the right ankle was completely numb.
He hoped he could reach the infirmary while he was still conscious.
Perhaps his prayers worked. He finally arrived at the infirmary on the verge of fainting.
Sitting on the bedside, Ye Zhou took off his sneakers. The ankle that had been fine this morning was now swollen to the top.
Zhou Wendao clicked his tongue twice and crouched down to the ankle that had swollen up into a small hill. “The shoe that you took off would be hard to put back on.”
“If I’d known earlier, I would have just taken a pair of slippers from the dorm and then come to the infirmary.”
The doctor took the topical and oral medicine and explained to Ye Zhou how to apply the medicine and rub his foot. He told him, “Don’t worry, it’s not serious. But these few days, don’t put force on your right foot.”
“Don’t worry, doctor, I willー”
Zhou Wendao’s words hadn’t finished, the door of the infirmary was suddenly pushed open.
“Zhou, are you alright!!”
“Zhou, I heard you were hurt!”
Ye Zhou looked up and Xu Yangjun and Zhan Xing rushed in wearing thin sportswear. In the cool early autumn, their brows beaded with sweat, and the coats hanging on their arms quickly fell to the ground.
“It’s nothing, twisted it a bit.” Ye Zhou shook his injured right foot. Obviously, he’d underestimated his injury. This slight movement caused the pain to transmit through his whole body. “Ow!”
Zhan Xing said apologetically, “Zhou, sorー”
Ye Zhou interrupted him, “I’m sorry, Zhan Xing. I broke your water bottle. I’ll pay you back one.”
“What pay back? If it weren’t for you helping me to bring it back, it’d be me who’s lying here now. It’s all my fault.”
“No! It’s my fault!” Xu Yangjun stood in front of Zhan Xing and eagerly declared, “If I didn’t want you to be my cheerleader, Zhan Xing wouldn’t have asked you to help him with his water bottle, so you might not have encountered this matter.”
“It’s still my fault. In short, if it weren’t for my thermos exploding, you wouldn’t have…”
Xu Yanjun nodded and said, “Yes, it’s your fault.”
“Iー” Zhan Xing glared at Xu Yangjun and said, “Then what were you monopolizing the fault for just now??”
“Okay, don’t hold a self-blaming session.” Ye Zhou put the medicine the doctor prescribed in the bag and stood up from the bedside on one leg. “Help me go back first.”
Zhou Wendao immediately showed his not-too-wide back and said, “Zhou, get on.”
Ye Zhou looked at his small body and said, “Thanks, but you just carried me here was hard enough. Just assist me is fine.”
Zhan Xing hurriedly said, “I’ll carry you! During this time when it’s inconvenient for you to move around, just call me!”
Basketball players may not have other things, but at least their height was passable. Ye Zhou hesitated for a second and jumped onto Zhan Xing’s back. The infirmary was a long way from the dorm, and if he didn’t accept the other’s help, it was estimated that Zhan Xing would feel very apologetic in his heart.
The temperature dropped down at night. Out of the infirmary, Ye Zhou felt the coolness spread from the bottom of his feet to his entire body.
Ye Zhou glanced at his bare right foot and comforted himself: it was a bit cold, but it wasn’t without its advantages. At least the slight chill slightly eased the burning pain.
“Zhou?”
Ye Zhou raised his head from Zhan Xing’s shoulder and saw Chen Shao not far away. “Why are you here?”
Chen Shao took out his slippers and said, “Didn’t you say it was a sprain? I guessed that you shouldn’t wear sneakers. When you called me, you didn’t say which feet was sprained, so I brought the pair of slippers. Was it badly hurt?”
“Not serious. It’s a bit swollen.” Slipper on foot, Ye Zhou felt his heart followed to smooth out.
Although these roommates were sometimes relatively off-the-wall, but at the critical moment, they were reliable one above the other.
Wait a minute! Take it back!!!
Who said that this group of people was reliable??
Early in the morning, Ye Zhou opened his eyes and there was no one in the dorm!!
Didn’t they know that he’d just been “seriously injured” yesterday and couldn’t take care of himself??
Ye Zhou sat on the bed and the distance between the top bunk and ground was less than 1.7 meters. He usually could gently jump to go down, but now it felt like a lofty height.
Glancing at his right ankle, it was still wrapped in a small bulge.
“Where did these people go…” Ye Zhou was in a dilemma.
He was now faced with three choices.
Don’t fear death and jump down, letting his left foot bear the force. The best result was that he’d land safely, but if there was a mishap, the consequence was that he’d evolve from a lame person to a paralyzed person. Step on the stairs with his uninjured left foot and hop down step by step. However, if he missed a step, he’d end up adding injury on top of injury. Give a phone call to tell his roommates to come back. But he really needed to go! He couldn’t wait!Ye Zhou glanced at the ground, took a deep breath, and encouraged himself, “This isn’t that high, climb down just as usual and use the left foot as the contact point.”
Ye Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, one hand holding the bedside and the other holding the guardrail, and slowly moved down. “Very good…very good…just like this, we’ll be able to land soon.”
Although the process required some arm strength, but his left toe touched the ground smoothly.
Ye Zhou had a happy heart. His two hands relaxed and he didn’t have time to celebrate when his left knee went soft. Ye Zhou helpless watched as his left knee came into close contact with the earth again.
“Ow!!!”
He’d always worried about the injury on his right foot, but he didn’t expect that the left knee he’d always been ignoring would suddenly jump out to make its presence known.
Ye Zhou sat down on the floor and lifted his pajama pants. The original blue knees showed signs of turning purple.
knock knock knock
Ye Zhou looked at the unlocked door and said, “Come in.”
“I heard a loud noise. Youーhow come you’re sit on the floor?”
Ye Zhou shifted his sight away and whispered to himself, “I really don’t want to be caught in a scene like this by you, Shang Jin.”
