Chapter 61 - Return My Qingqing to Me
Hearing the name “Ning Yao”, Xu Junxi stiffened and quickly let go of her hand and looked back.
There was no one behind him.
There was a sneer of mockery by his ear. When Xu Junxi looked back again, Ning Qing caressed her wrist with one hand while she left without looking back.
Xu Junxi clenched his fists tightly, and fury bubbled through his chest. He chased after her with quick steps and his big palms pinned Ning Qing’s shoulder down and pressed her against the wall.
Ning Qing looked at Xu Junxi with clear eyes, her little face turning cold. “Xu Junxi, are you a psychopath? You’re not going to be content unless you harass me by being intimate with me, are you? Please clarify what on earth you want to do once and for all.”
“Harass? Hah, Ning Qing, are you even fit to use this word! I’m the one who wants to ask you what you really want to do, why do you have to fight Yao Yao in every way, why do you always appear in front of me?”
“Ha, haha…” Ning Qing looked up and laughed loudly three times. She thought it was ridiculous. Putting aside the fact that she wasn’t fighting with Ning Yao. So what if she did?
Of course, she was not stupid, this flight of stairs had more than 20 steps and was very long, she would not really fall down the stairs, she’d reached out and gripped onto the handrail of the stairs when she was falling backward.
Everything was going according to plan.
However, Ning Yao’s pupils dilated in pain. The hand which she’d reached out to grab onto the handrail had been gripped onto in the flash of an eye. Ning Qing’s voice of concern rang out, “Ning Yao, be careful!”
Ning Qing had grabbed onto Ning Yao’s hand.
Ning Yao’s entire heart sank, would Ning Qing be so kind?
The next moment, Ning Qing’s grip loosened and Ning Yao’s body suspended in midair. The world spun and Ning Yao cried out “Ah” in excruciating pain as her head came into contact with the ground.
But her “ah” was covered by another “ah”, Ning Qing was also screaming.
Ning Yao wanted to curse. Come on, what was she screaming about?
She was the one who’d been hurt!
Ning Yao rolled down more than twenty layers of stairs like a ball without resistance. Her head hit the handrail uncontrollably in the middle. When she stopped, thick blood flowed down her forehead and stained her eyelashes which she’d spent a long time putting on mascara on in the morning.
“Yao Yao…” Xu Junxi quickly ran to Ning Yao and hugged her in his arms. “Yaoyao, are you okay? Where does it hurt?”
Ning Yao could not utter a single word, she was almost fainting from the pain, that b*itch Ning Qing!
She slowly extended her finger and pointed to Ning Qing.
Xu Junxi followed Ning Yao’s fingers and saw Ning Qing, who was perfectly fine, standing on the stairs, but her face was pale and her hands still covered her mouth in shock, as if she had been greatly agitated.
Xu Junxi’s reproachful words died instantaneously in his throat. Ning Qing was going to save Ning Yao. He’d seen them.
“I… I… She fell so fast that I couldn’t hold on to her.” Ning Qing’s lips trembled as she looked at Xu Junxi with a pair of autumn pupils that shone with weakness.
Ning Yao was speechless, “…”
Xu Junxi carried Ning Yao horizontally and ran downstairs. “Someone, call an ambulance.”
When the two disappeared from Ning Qing’s sight, Ning Qing put her hand down. The corners of her lips lifted calmly and unhurriedly. She’d wanted to compete with her in terms of acting skills, fine then, she would take her on right to the very end!
…
In the hospital.
The doctor dressed Ning Yao’s injury on her head. Her body was not badly injured, but there were blue and purple bruises on her arms and thighs, they were very painful superficial injuries.
For the first time ever, Ning Yao experienced what it was like for a dumb man to eat bitter herbs, only able to suffer in silence.
Xu Junxi guided her to the elevator with his arms wrapped around her shoulders. She was not willing to let Ning Qing off just like that. So she opened her mouth and spoke carefully in a wronged tone. “Junxi, why didn’t my older sister hold onto me? Had she not wanted to save me at all?”
The pale, small face appeared in Xu Junxi’s mind. He frowned, and his voice was a little heavy as he said. “I saw it when Ning Qing was going to hold onto you… Alright, you go home and have a good rest. Don’t wear such high heels in the future. It’s autumn now. If you are injured in the summer, the entire crew would have to stop work and wait for you.”
What had he meant by that, comforting her perfunctorily, and complaining that she wasn’t sensible enough and had caused him trouble.
But Ning Yao dared not refute, she nodded cutely, “Ok.”
They didn’t talk anymore along the way. When they reached the elevator, Ning Yao suddenly saw a mother-daughter pair walking forward from the side. Her eyes shone brightly as her gloomy mood became sunny instantly.
Ning Qing held onto Yue Wanqing’s arm and said softly, “Mom, are you tired? Let’s just walk two rounds and lie back down in the ward.”
Yue Wanqing patted Ning Qing’s little hand. “Mom’s not tired. Mom needs to recover early. I live in this hospital every day. The medical expenses alone are already very high. Although you say there is medical aid, we can’t keep eating away at the state’s money.”
Ning Qing smiled and did not reply to her comment about medical aid.
At this time, a voice as sweet as a nightingale’s rang out, “Auntie…”
Yue Wanqing and Ning Qing looked back and saw that Xu Junxi and Ning Yao were standing not too far away.
