“Are you okay?”
Ah Wu stepped forward and helped Sheng Chenglin up.
She was not short among girls, and her height of 163 cm was considered standard in the south. But Sheng Chenglin was relatively tall among boys in the south, at 181 cm. Therefore, it was not easy for Ah Wu to help him up.
Especially at this time, the other party was still injured, so most of the force was on Ah Wu.
Fortunately, the place where Sheng Chenglin collapsed was close to a wall, and with the support of the wall, he finally stood up.
At this time, there was almost no distance between the two of them.
Sheng Chenglin put one arm on Ah Wu’s shoulder. When he lowered his head, he could just smell the fresh scent of shampoo on Ah Wu’s hair.
It was also at this time that Sheng Chenglin saw the appearance of the girl who saved him clearly.
She is very beautiful, enough to amaze people, but Sheng Chenglin’s mind is relatively firm. When he saw Ah Wu’s appearance clearly, he was only distracted for a second and quickly regained his composure.
“Thank you, but I seem to have injured my bones. Can you please call a car for me and take me to the nearest hospital?”
Sheng Chenglin didn’t have the habit of bringing a mobile phone to school. At this moment, feeling the pain in his calf, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly at Ah Wu.
Today was really an unlucky day. He somehow provoked a group of gangsters and got beaten up. He didn’t know how serious the injury on his leg was.
These days, Sheng Chenglin can feel the change in the family atmosphere.
His father has been on a business trip for nearly a month.
In the past, when he was away from home for such a long time, he would always call home every now and then, or contact them through video.
However, this time, Sheng Chenglin took the initiative to call his father, but there was only a cold manual service voice on the other end of the phone.
His mother was in a very low mood and looked visibly haggard.
Sheng Chenglin suspected that there might be something wrong with his parents’ relationship, but this was just his guess. He didn’t even know whether he should take the initiative to ask his mother about this issue.
In short, if his mother knew that he had encountered such a thing under such circumstances, it would probably make her even more upset.
Therefore, Sheng Chenglin thought about going to the hospital for a check-up first. If the injuries were not serious, he would just think of a way to fool her and not let his mother know.
“When I scared away those gangsters just now, I called the police and an ambulance.”
As soon as Ah Wu finished speaking, the sound of an ambulance sounded at the entrance of the alley.
Because Ah Wu was a witness and Sheng Chenglin was unable to move around easily, she had to get in the ambulance with Sheng Chenglin.
***
“No broken bones, just some scrapes and bruises.”
The doctor’s answer made Sheng Chenglin feel relieved.
Most of the injuries on his body were in places that could be covered by clothes, so he should be able to hide it from his mother.
Next, the police who came to the hospital based on the report asked Sheng Chenglin and Ah Wu about the appearance of the gangsters and whether Sheng Chenglin had committed a crime against anyone recently.
After taking the statements, the police reluctantly told the two of them that the possibility of catching the gangsters was not high because that area was a blind spot for surveillance and that Sheng Chenglin himself could not give any clues about the people who deliberately hurt him. Finding those gangsters would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Of course, the police will still try their best to find the criminals, but they just ask them not to hold out too much hope.
Before the police came, Sheng Chenglin had already prepared himself mentally, so he didn’t feel too sad when he heard this answer.
“Thank you so much today. If it weren’t for you, I might have been hurt more seriously.”
Because the injuries on his body were not serious, Sheng Chenglin did not have much of an obsession with finding those gangsters.
The living environment he grew up in taught him the rule of keeping the peace.
It was because of this principle that he never said bad words to Xiang Wu when she repeatedly entangled and confessed her love to him.
It was also because of this principle that he did not want to completely offend that group of gangsters, lest they cause trouble to him again after they were detained and released.
But he was really grateful to the female classmate who appeared at the entrance of the alley today.
If she hadn’t suddenly appeared and scared away the gangsters with the alarm, based on the way they just beat him, he would definitely not have only slight bruises on the surface, and it was possible that he really broke a leg.
“Are you a student of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School? I don’t think I have seen you in school before?”
Sheng Chenglin thought that the other party helped him a lot, so he should thank the other party.
“I’m Xiang Wu.”
Ah Wu’s mood was very complicated. She knew that her previous dress was indeed a bit exaggerated, but she never thought that even after she confessed her love so many times, the man she loved the most in her heart did not recognize her.
“W-what?”
For a moment, Sheng Chenglin thought that he had been hit on the head and had auditory hallucinations.
How could the other party be Xiang Wu?
If it was Xiang Wu, shouldn’t she have surrounded him like a bee smelling honey the moment she saw him, wanting to stick her whole body to him?
But from the time they met in the alley until now, except for the close contact when he asked the other party to help him up, the other party had always kept a proper distance from him and behaved very restrainedly.
Moreover, Xiang Wu didn’t look like this, right?
