Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 194 - 194: White Lotus Transfer Student (24)

"Aunt Zhi, Lan Lan... She will be fine," Yue Ran said gently. Sadness was clear on her face.

Right now, Mother Zhi is not able to hear anyone else's words at all. Her head was lying on the hospital bed at this time while she was crying extremely heartbrokenly and sadly.

"Aunt Zhi…" Yue Ran's words trailed off.

Seeing that the woman was crying beside the bed, Yue Ran hesitantly stretched out her hand with reddened eyes and slowly touched Mother Zhi's back to comfort her.

It was at this time that a nurse came into the ward with a list in her hand.

The nurse asked, "Who are Zhi Lan's family members?"

"I... I am." Mother Zhi's crying stopped as she answered the nurse. "What is the matter?"

"This prescription and the cost of the next treatment," the nurse said. "You can pay the fee at the front desk."

"Oh, oh, okay," Mother Zhi answered and nodded dully.

Mother Zhi wiped the tears from her face, stood up tremblingly from the ground, and took the list from the nurse's hand.

When she saw it, she felt that her whole world was about to fall apart.

"200,000? Why... why is the hospitalization fee so expensive?" Mother Zhi asked out loud in shock.

She had never seen such great pricing before. Just thinking about the fact that she had to owe people money to pay for this hospitalization fee made her whole world look bleak. Furthermore, she does not know where to borrow or get this huge amount of money.

She had no friends and no connections. Does she have to get a usury now?

"Auntie, I will pay for the hospitalization fee," Qi Yu said.

There was guilt in the young boy's gentle voice as he spoke.

"You? But… why?" Mother Zhi asked, feeling confused and skeptical.

"This is nothing," Qi Yu said. "Classmates should help one another in need."

Yue Ran glanced at the young man after hearing his words.

The male protagonist of this world is really a perfect gentleman to the core.

There is no so-called gentleness that was only on the surface but, in fact, hid a black heart. The male protagonist of this world has real warmth from the inside out. He is always very gentle and kind, inside and out.

And that was why the young man took all the responsibility for this incident upon himself.

"Thank you, thank you," Mother Zhi said gratefully. A great weight was pulled off her shoulders. "What is your name?"

"You are welcome, Auntie," Qi Yu replied. "My name is Qi Yu."

"Thank you, thank you, Qi Yu!" Mother Zhi said excitedly and gratefully, then bowed to Qi Yu to express her thanks.

"It is okay, Auntie," Qi Yu said. "This is just a little effort, and Auntie does not have to be so polite."

…

On the way back, the two, Yue Ran and Qi Yu, were rarely silent.

After a long while, it was Yue Ran who spoke first to break the atmosphere.

"I am sorry," Yue Ran suddenly said.

As soon as the young girl opened her mouth, she cried with apology and grievance.

Her three-word apology seemed to have a soft hook, which makes people's hearts break with distress.

"Uh, hm? What is wrong?" Qi Yu asked.

At this time, the young man was a little flustered, and he did not understand why Yue Ran had said these three words at all.

"I…" Yue Ran started.

But before the young girl's words were finished, tears had already fallen from the ends of her crimson eyes, drop by drop, as if falling on Qi Yu's heart.

Qi Yu quickly leaned over to Yue Ran and asked worriedly, "What is wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

Yue Ran shook her head, sniffed lightly, and spoke with a slight nasal sound: "Yesterday, if it were not for me, you certainly would not have discovered Lan Lan so late, and Lan Lan would not have been hurt so badly like this."

Qi Yu was stunned, as if he did not expect that the young girl's sudden apology was for this.

Without thinking too much, the young man has already blurted out, "Ran Ran, it is not your fault."

"No, it is," Yue Ran insisted. "Everything is my fault. Everything is my fault. Just blame me."

The young girl cried even more fiercely after saying so.

"Last night, if I had not sprained my foot... you would have found Lan Lan sooner," Yue Ran said. "And maybe… maybe…"

Qi Yu sighed lightly. Helplessness and distress were eminent between his beautiful eyebrows.

The young man looked at the young girl, who could not stop crying in front of him, stretched out his hand, pulled it back, and then stretched it out again. Finally, after so long, he overstepped the boundary and gently embraced the young girl into his arms.

The slender, cool palm stroked the young girl's jet-black hair, and he spoke with a tone so soft, as if he were coaxing a child to sleep.

"Ran Ran, it is not your fault. It is others who are at fault. It is the group of perpetrators who are at fault," Qi Yu said. "If you really want to know who is at fault the most, then it should be me. I am the real culprit in it all. If it were not for me, Zhi Lan would never have been hurt so badly."

There was a short pause before the young man continued.

"So, Ran Ran, do not feel guilty anymore," Qi Yu said. "Stop thinking about it and get some sleep."

Yue Ran took advantage of the situation to lie on Qi Yu's shoulder, and tears soon soaked the young man's clothes.

But when she heard these words, she raised her head from Qi Yu's shoulder; her eyes looked clear and pure. Those pair of eyes that were washed with tears were like the grass in spring after rain—refreshing and beautiful.

"What about you?" Yue Ran asked.

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment before asking, "What?"

"What is A Yu thinking?" Yue Ran asked.

Qi Yu's dense and long eyelashes drooped down slightly, covering the little light in his pupils.

"I…" Qi Yu's words trailed off as soon as he started to speak. "This is all my..."

"You yourself have said it before," Yue Ran said.

The young girl's slightly hoarse voice interrupted the young man.

"You said it before that it is the perpetrators who are really at fault," Yue ran said. She paused for a second, then her voice became firmer as she continued, "So, do not put the blame on yourself. If it really comes down to it, then I have to say that I am the same as you. I am also at fault."

Qi Yu raised his eyes and looked at the young girl fixedly. Although she looked a little disheveled because she was crying, her delicate and pitiful appearance actually added a little more beauty and loveliness to her face.

Unable to hold back, Qi Yu just raised his hand and gently pulled the delicate young girl completely into his arms.

He silently said sorry to Ye Chen in his heart. This is the last time. The last time...

Now, he really seems to need her.

He really needs her.

Yue Ran followed the young man's movements obediently and stretched out her hands to slowly wrap them around the young man's thin waist.

Yue Ran's voice sounded, "So, let us work together to get those people the punishment they deserve, okay?"

There was silence in the air for a long time before a word came out of the young man's lips.

"Okay," Qi Yu said.

The corner of Yue Ran's mouth evoked a very light smile, very shallow and looming.

Qi Yu had plunged himself into a swamp called guilt, but she did not.

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, no matter what his personality is, has a clear mind.

The male protagonist is a child of a rich family, a very good boy who has always been sought after by others and protected very well by his parents. And when such a terrible thing happened, one could only imagine the feeling in his heart.

However, the young man did not know that in some corners of the world, this is actually the daily life of some people.

What was more was that the reason for this happened because of himself in the first place, even if it was without his knowledge.

"So, stop blaming yourself, okay?"

Yue Ran knew that even though she had already said that, Qi Yu still might not be able to pull himself out completely.

But at least, after this, she and Qi Yu will be stuck together.

Stuck together.

Together.

Take this so-called guilt and responsibility together.

"Okay," Qi Yu answered.

The young man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His nose was filled with the young girl's natural, faint fragrance, which made him relax.

The whole day and night, the young man's heavy heart inexplicably felt at ease at this moment.

Qi Yu thought that he would only get blamed by others, whether in words or eyes when they looked at him, but someone told him that it was not his fault.

So, right now, he could only hold her tightly to him.

…

Late at night

Qi Yu had just finished taking a shower and was still wiping his damp, inky black hair, but suddenly he heard a few knocks from the door of his room.
