The hospital nurses found Ruan Yun's mother's number in her phone. Upon receiving the news, Ruan's mother immediately called Xu Xiangyang, who was also in the capital.
Upon learning that Ruan Yun was admitted to the hospital, Xu Xiangyang's heart nearly stopped with fright. He didn't even bother changing his slippers and hurried over.
She was his master's most beloved disciple. If anything happened to her, his master would surely flay him alive and hang him on a flagpole for three days!
"...I'm not quite sure what happened." Ruan Yun rubbed her throbbing forehead, trying to recall. "I was waiting at the red light when something fell from the sky and hit me on the head."
Xu Xiangyang: "..." My junior sister's luck, I'm afraid she's not just any ordinary black goldfish.
"Anyway, as long as you're okay, that's all that matters. I'll go arrange your hospitalization procedures. You rest first."
Xu Xiangyang got up to leave, but Ruan Yun quickly stopped him.
"Senior Brother, don't. It's just a concussion, I can handle it with a few needles myself. No need to stay in the hospital."
With that, she pulled out a silver needle from somewhere, without even looking, and inserted it into her Baihui acupoint.
Xu Xiangyang: "..."
Xu Xiangyang felt a bit exhausted.
He rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "Then I'll go settle the bill. Don't move, wait for me to come back, and we'll leave together."
--- * --- * ---
After Xu Xiangyang left, Ruan Yun slowly put on her shoes and got out of bed.
She looked around the empty ward, feeling bewildered.
When she was unconscious just now, she remembered hearing someone talking in her ear.
Could it have been a dream?
Ruan Yun rubbed her head and walked out of the ward.
She closed the ward door, leaned against the wall, and inserted silver needles into herself while waiting for Xu Xiangyang.
Footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by multiple conversations.
"Eh? Miss Ruan? Isn't this Miss Ruan?!"
Ruan Yun turned her head to look.
It turned out to be the Qin family members she had met just a few hours ago.
So, the hospital Qin Lao Ye sent her to was this one.
Ruan Yun blinked her peach blossom eyes and nodded politely, "Master Qin, Miss Qin."
Qin Qingdi saw Ruan Yun, his eyes lit up.
He jogged over, glanced at the bandage on Ruan Yun's forehead with concern, and asked, "Miss Ruan, what happened to you?"
"Just a minor accident on the road, nothing serious." Ruan Yun looked at her and smiled softly, "Miss Qin's complexion looks much better than before."
Qin Qingdi, feeling embarrassed, touched her cheek and was about to speak when two men walked out from the corner of the corridor.
One of them was wearing a white suit, Bai Yuchen, her fiancé. The other man was slightly taller, exuding a strong aura with every move.
When Qin Qingdi saw the man, his smile froze, and he shrank his neck in fear.
"N-Ninth Brother..."
Xijue uttered a faint "Hmm," and his sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces. When he saw Ruan Yun, his gaze paused.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Ruan?" Bai Yuchen had a very good impression of the girl who saved his grandfather and Xiao Di.
He nudged Xijue and introduced enthusiastically, "Ninth Brother, this is the Miss Ruan I told you about. Thanks to her, Grandpa Qin and Xiao Di were able to survive. Miss Ruan, this is my brother, Xijue."
Ruan Yun looked at Xijue and nodded gently, "Hello."
The expressions of the Qin family members present were a bit strange.
Throughout the capital, anyone who heard the name "Xijue" would either be shocked or afraid. At the very least, they would show some respect.
But this Miss Ruan... why did she seem unfamiliar with the Xijue family?
Bai Yuchen didn't think much about it.
He was still recounting Ruan Yun's heroic act of saving Grandpa Qin to Xijue, completely unaware that Xijue had been staring at Ruan Yun since earlier.
"Where is Miss Ruan from?" Xijue suddenly asked.
Bai Yuchen, who was chatting non-stop, choked.
His eyes widened in shock.
Ninth Brother actually took the initiative to talk to a woman?
Damn! Could it be that he's taken a liking to Miss Ruan?!
