Qin Chengyao and Ji Siyue were lying on the ground, somewhat out of sorts. Their hearts hadn't yet calmed down, and both of them were filled with a multitude of emotions.
Watching someone almost die right in front of their eyes was truly an unpleasant experience.
At least for a moment, Ji Siyue felt so nervous that she thought she might die.
Qin Chengyao reached out his hand and pulled her.
"Sorry. I said that just now to comfort him. The person I like most is you."
Ji Siyue was a bit dazed at first upon hearing this, but quickly reacted and playfully slapped the back of his hand.
"I know what you mean. Don't worry, I won't misunderstand. It's just this person..."
"Didn't you hear what those doctors said just now? They said this person had run out again."
"You mean..."
"It means this Wanhuazhiyu is indeed a mental patient and a regular at the hospital. The hospital staff is almost familiar with her."
All in all, with so many things happening and attracting a great deal of online attention, now that it was finally resolved, Ji Siyue took out her phone and posted a Weibo.
[The person has been rescued and taken away by the psychiatric department of the hospital. I hope everyone can express their love rationally. I've been really tired today, so I won't be doing a live - broadcast. Thank you all for your support.]
On her homepage, she also saw a video of herself running wildly on the road. There were all sorts of titles like "A young woman runs to get her lover back" and "Running to avoid being chased", and a bunch of other nonsense titles all for the same video. Only a few people knew the real reason she had run there.
Qin Chengyao got up from the ground, pulled Ji Siyue up, and said, "Let's go back now. You've been really tired today."
Ji Siyue tried to stand up but found she had no strength at all.
"I can't stand up. I ran too hard just now. I have no strength left."
Qin Chengyao sighed, then bent down and picked her up from the ground.
This princess - carry position was so embarrassing that Ji Siyue couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
"Hey! Why are you carrying me like this!"
Qin Chengyao, on the other hand, was extremely calm.
"If I don't carry you, are you going to crawl back? Alright, be good. Let's go home quickly!"
"Okay..."
After getting home, Qin Chengyao put Ji Siyue on the sofa, then knelt in front of her worriedly and tried to take off her shoes.
Ji Siyue instinctively pulled her legs back and stared at him in surprise.
"What are you doing?"
"What else can I do?" Qin Chengyao forcefully pulled her legs back, took off her socks, and started massaging her ankles one by one.
Ji Siyue couldn't help but grimace in pain.
It turned out her ankle was sprained.
No wonder she didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Qin Chengyao really wanted to scold her.
"You ran a one - kilometer road like this. I really don't know how you got through your freshman year!"
During her freshman year, there were morning and evening runs every day. Ji Siyue, of course, had used a special way to avoid them.
"I said I had a concussion just after coming back from abroad and couldn't run for two years. I even managed to avoid repeating my senior year of high school!"
"Look at you, sounding so proud! From now on, you'll go running with me every morning!"
"Ah!?"
Ji Siyue immediately looked heart - broken.
She wasn't in good physical condition, and running was simply torture for her.
"Can I not run? If I have to run, can I just run a hundred or two hundred meters a day? I'm half - dead after an 800 - meter run. Today's over 1000 meters really killed me! And I didn't even know my ankle was sprained... Ouch! Be gentle!"
Just then, there was the sound of someone entering the password at the door.
Then.
"Click!"
The door opened.
Ji Siyue's parents were standing outside, staring blankly at what they were doing.
Then, right in front of the two of them, these loving parents silently closed the door and said before leaving, "We won't disturb you."
Ji Siyue: "......What!?"
What do you mean by disturbing or not disturbing!
Mom and Dad, don't get the wrong idea. We're really not doing anything strange!
Ji Siyue wanted to stand up and go after her parents, but Qin Chengyao pushed her back down and stood up.
"There's some safflower oil in my room. I'll go get it and explain this to your parents. Just stay still, okay?"
"Okay..."
Sure enough, when Qin Chengyao closed the door and went out, he saw Ji Siyue's parents standing there with serious expressions.
Qin Chengyao walked over obediently, stood in front of them, and lowered his head.
Nan Ye asked, "Although you two are a couple, you still need to be a bit more careful sometimes."
Her father also said earnestly, "That's right. You can't just go into a girl's house casually. If you want to be alone with her, just take her to your place... Ow!"
Nan Ye stepped on his foot expressionlessly, interrupting his words, and then continued to say to Qin Chengyao, "Is Siyue injured?"
"Yes. Something happened today. She was in such a hurry and ran too fast. She sprained her ankle without even realizing it."
Next, Qin Chengyao told them what had happened today.
"Goodness, there's such a thing?"
"Yes. You go in and keep her company. I'll go get some safflower oil."
"Okay!"
...
Two days had passed since this incident, and the storm was gradually subsiding.
The 6th AKM Contest was about to start. Many teams were eager to participate in this competition to win honor for their teams.
Ji Siyue asked Qin Chengyao about this.
"The 6th contest is coming soon. Do you want to participate?"
Surprisingly, he shook his head.
"We're not fully prepared yet, so there's no need to participate."
"But aren't you in the process of preparing a team?"
"Although the people in our game team have good skills, there's still a certain gap compared to the professional teams. We have good teamwork, but if we were to select a new player now, they would need to get used to us. We need a support position, and most of the people in the team are damage dealers... All in all, this isn't the best choice for now."
"What if we could find someone who is talented, knows how to play support, and can quickly integrate into your group right now?"
