These past few days, Bai Ya had been a bit unhappy.
The reason for her unhappiness was, of course, that girl who had streaked across her life like a meteor.
Su Qi—she had disappeared along with Sister Qianqian.
"Sister is sick, so I need to take her for treatment." On the morning of their departure, Su Qi had said this to Bai Ya.
Sick?
Bai Ya didn't believe it at all.
The day before, Sister Qianqian had gone out on a date with her sister and hadn't returned all night, so how could she suddenly be sick the next day?
It couldn't be that her sister had used too much force and injured Sister Qianqian, could it?
Even if it was excessive force, it had been almost a month now—she should have recovered and returned, but there wasn't a single bit of news. They had vanished as if they'd evaporated from the world.
Bai Ya had also asked her sister what was really going on, but whenever she asked about this, her sister would stammer and change the subject.
"Don't worry about them. When Qianqian recovers from her injuries, they'll come back."
Recover from injuries? A whole month! A whole month!
What kind of injury takes that long to heal?
Even if she needed to recover, she could at least answer a phone call, right?
But neither Sister Qianqian's phone nor Little Qi's phone could be reached, as if they no longer existed in this world.
"Really, where on earth did they go?" Bai Ya muttered to herself with a sullen face.
Her newly made good friend had suddenly vanished, and she didn't even have the mood to study. These days, she'd often been called out by teachers during class.
But Bai Ya just couldn't calm down—she simply wanted to know where Sister Qianqian and Little Qi had gone.
Yet that bad sister clearly knew the answer but insisted on keeping it from her. She was really too mean.
Moreover, this past month, her sister seemed to have returned to her previous state, leaving early every morning and not returning home until long after nightfall, not knowing what she was busy with outside.
When asked, she would only shake her head and say: "When Little Ya grows up, sister will tell you everything."
Bai Ya really wanted to say that she had already grown up—she was sixteen years old, a big girl now!
The young girl sulking in her heart didn't notice a petite figure in a black cloak walking toward her. Only after her shoulder was hit hard did she realize she had collided with someone.
Thud.
In the dizzying moment, Bai Ya heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.
Then, she instinctively used her hands to support her body.
Wait, I didn't fall, so who did?
Bai Ya quickly turned around and immediately saw that the small figure she'd collided with was now lying face-down on the ground.
A scammer?!
Countless news stories flashed through Bai Ya's clever little head, but she quickly dismissed this guess because the small figure lying on the ground seemed genuinely very weak.
"Are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?" Bai Ya crouched down and turned the small figure over.
Hidden under the black hood was a cute little face, with messy black hair stuck to flushed cheeks, making this girl look extraordinarily pitiful.
Such a girl couldn't possibly be a scammer, and judging by her current condition, the situation seemed quite serious.
Hearing Bai Ya's voice, the girl opened her eyes a crack. "Don't..."
The girl's eyes were different from Bai Ya's—they were beautiful green eyes like emeralds, with a verdant color that seemed to let one see lush forests within them.
"But you're in really bad condition right now," Bai Ya carefully touched the girl's forehead. "And you have a fever too."
If this wasn't handled properly, this girl might die on the street.
"Can't... go to hospital... can't..." The girl closed her eyes, as if even keeping them open was an unbearable drain on her.
Can't go to the hospital—then what should she do?
Leave this girl here and ignore her? That was definitely not acceptable.
This wasn't because Bai Ya was kind-hearted, but because she had just collided hard with this girl. If this girl really died here, Bai Ya felt that collision would bear some responsibility.
After all, before they collided, this girl could still walk unsteadily, but now she was lying on the ground without even the strength to move.
But she said she couldn't go to the hospital, so she couldn't just take her home, could she?
Even if she wanted to take her home, she'd have to discuss it with her sister first.
Right, she needed to discuss it with her sister first.
"Hello, sister, do you have time?" After dialing her sister's number, the call connected within seconds.
"Yes." Bai Ling's calm voice came through the phone, gradually steadying Bai Ya's racing heart.
Her sister's voice always gave Bai Ya a very reliable feeling, as if with her sister around, she could depend on her for anything.
"Well, I accidentally knocked down a girl on the road. She's in really bad condition now, but she says she doesn't want to go to the hospital." Bai Ya told Bai Ling exactly what had happened.
"Mm." After hearing her sister's account, Bai Ling fell into thought.
Send her directly to the hospital?
That girl kept emphasizing she couldn't go to the hospital—perhaps she had some unspeakable difficulties.
She couldn't just leave her alone either... after all, it was Little Ya who accidentally hit her.
If hospitals weren't okay, a private doctor should be fine, right?
"Take her home first. I'll be there soon," Bai Ling paused, then added, "Just stay where you are. Someone will come help you."
"Okay." Although she didn't know who the helper her sister mentioned was, it was better to trust her sister at this time.
Then, Bai Ya saw several exceptionally professionally dressed ladies in black jump out of a black sedan parked by the roadside and run straight to her side.
These were the helpers her sister mentioned?!
Also, had such a group of people been following her all along?
"Miss Ya, is this the girl?" A cool-looking big sister who appeared most professional removed her sunglasses and asked the completely stunned Bai Ya.
"Ah, yes, it's her." Bai Ya, snapping back to reality, quickly nodded.
The title "Miss Ya" was so embarrassing!
"You two, carry this young lady to the car." The big sister casually pointed at two people, having them carry the unconscious girl to the car, then turned to Bai Ya. "Miss Ya, please get in the car as well."
As soon as she finished speaking, two black sedans that Bai Ya had only seen in TV dramas stopped beside them.
A woman in black stepped forward and opened the car door. "Please."
This was so cool!
Bai Ya, who had never really felt her status before, suddenly felt—wow, she was so awesome, having personal bodyguards just like the wealthy young ladies in TV dramas.
So she really was a young lady!
This feeling was amazing!
