Chapter 110: (Haya x Lin Weining)
The news about FYU ending their group collaboration and the members going solo came out one afternoon. Haya managed to slip away from the tight surveillance of her assistant Yan Jia and somehow made it to the racetrack. She ran two laps energetically.
As she sat on the horse and leisurely walked it on the grass, her phone in her pocket started vibrating like crazy. Haya absentmindedly took out her phone. Her usually cold-looking eyes drooped, and her deep gaze had just focused on the screen when her brain hadn’t even reacted to the news. From a distance, her manager, who was sweating all over from chasing her, roared in anger.
“Hada Ya! Are you tired of living? How dare you come out riding horses when your injury has just healed?”
The woman on the horse seemed stupefied, and her whole body rose up. Her waist muscles twitched, her beautiful face twisted instantly, and her body toppled uncontrollably to the side, losing balance with a loud “thud,” falling to the ground.
The manager’s face turned pale.
“Haya!”
The person who fell onto the grass gritted their teeth, laughing through the pain. One leg was still stuck in the stirrup, maintaining a ridiculous pose with a single leg sticking straight up.
The black horse neighed anxiously, its hooves stepping on the grass, and it lowered its head to nudge Haya’s head. Haya, who was being led away by the horse, quickly hugged the horse’s head and comforted it, “Good boy, your mom’s fine, don’t move, if you don’t move, I’ll be fine!”
At this moment, the assistant manager and a group of people from the management team gathered around. Haya’s cousin, who was also her manager, cradled Haya’s head in her hands, “Are you okay? What number is this?”
Haya raised her hand and twisted her cousin’s face, “If you hadn’t yelled, I wouldn’t have fallen!”
Her cousin immediately twisted back, a sisterly bond showing its strength.
“If you hadn’t come out to ride, you wouldn’t have fallen!” Her cousin shouted.
“If I didn’t come out to stretch, I would’ve gone crazy!” Haya let go of her cousin’s face, opened her hands, and lay on the ground. The black horse kept nudging her helmet with its head, and Haya’s head moved back and forth, her voice trembling.
“I… think I twisted my foot.”
Cousin: “… You damn thing!”
She angrily slapped Haya’s thigh, “Just a moment ago, you asked Miki if you could participate in FYU’s solo concert, and now you’re like this…”
Haya immediately sat up straight, resolute, “I will definitely participate!”
“Participate my ass!” Her cousin pushed Haya down with one hand, “You recovered from your waist, and now it’s your foot. Are you having a bad year this year? Let Grandma take you to the temple to pray.”
“Whether I’m having a bad year or not, I don’t know, but I’m participating in this concert!” The person lying on the ground said stubbornly.
The racetrack’s medic arrived with a stretcher. Before Haya was placed onto the stretcher, she held onto her cousin’s hand, instructing urgently, “You must make sure I can go! And… the thing about falling off the horse, absolutely do not let Xu Pearl and Jiang Xiaoqiong know!”
Her cousin’s expression was more contorted than that of the injured person. She forcefully pried Haya’s hand away, looking at her own reddened hand, and coldly chuckled.
You just wait for me!
“Don’t say it!” Haya extended a finger from the stretcher, but the assistant pressed it back, leaving only her voice echoing on the racetrack.
The black horse paced restlessly, nudging against her cousin’s shoulder. Her cousin held onto the horse’s neck, saying, “Good boy, your mom’s as tough as nails. When she fell from a tree back in the day, nothing happened. She’s resilient, don’t worry.”
“Auntie will take you to see your mom later, it’s okay.”
Haya lay in bed, her foot in the doctor’s hands. The people around her watched the doctor with concern, while the owner of the injured foot held her phone, tapping the screen with a “snap, snap” and occasionally chuckling.
The assistant stared at Haya for several minutes. From start to finish, she held onto her phone, completely oblivious to everyone’s gaze.
“Haya, did you win the lottery?” the assistant asked her.
Without lifting her head, Haya responded, “I’m going to buy today—Ah!”
“Snap!”
The phone that had been in the woman’s hand slipped onto her leg. The woman who had been smiling a moment ago buried her head, gripping the sides of the sofa tightly. Her voice came from her lower abdomen, sounding very feeble.
“Doctor, please be gentle, I beg you.”
The doctor’s face was cold, “I can’t be gentle.”
Haya closed her eyes in pain.
In her mind, Lin Weinan’s cat nodding expression pack suddenly appeared. The woman who had just been in pain raised her hand, pressed her forehead, and chuckled softly.
At that moment, the assistant and the racetrack staff standing by her side looked shocked and subconsciously stepped back. The doctor sitting across from Haya’s face twitched, and she seriously examined someone’s ankle.
This is a foot, not a brain, right?
She didn’t squeeze it too hard, did she?
Previously, Haya had been bedridden for a month due to a pulled muscle in her waist. Now, with this foot injury, it seemed like another half a month of setbacks.
“Just be grateful there’s no fracture, and the ligaments aren’t injured, otherwise… hehe.” The manager packed up Haya’s belongings, watching the woman lying in bed suddenly become very quiet—enjoying listening to music while playfully shaking her other leg.
“Let’s see if you dare do it again next time!”
“I give it some color and everything trembles. The unstoppable footsteps take me to the end of the universe! The world explodes, ha, stars and sparks. Ah, what my eyes see is the end of time. I’m the leader, I’m not afraid! Ha!” Haya shook her head and sang to the manager.
The manager, who was tidying up her clothes, rolled her eyes and grabbed a nearby stool. “You want to ‘Ha’ again?”
Haya immediately shrank under the covers in embarrassment.
“Sorry~”
Haya pulled the covers up to her eyelids, and her muffled voice emerged.
“I’m going to sleep.”
The manager looked at her suspiciously, “Now?”
“Mhmm, I’m going to sleep until tomorrow morning. Please prepare a double portion of breakfast. I have a guest.” Saying this, Haya opened her eyes again and gave her cousin the same suspicious look. “You promise you didn’t tell Xu Pearl, Jiang Xiaoqiong, and the others at SGS about me falling off the horse!”
She emphasized, “It’s embarrassing, you know it, I know it, okay?”
“Realizing it’s embarrassing now?” the manager sneered.
Haya threatened, “Dear Hana, think about the Huiruite Snowfield Rose series diamond jewelry and the Vanuit bag you want. As long as you keep it secret, I’ll double your year-end gift.”
The manager immediately put on a gentle smile. “Okay.”
Haya smiled contentedly, thinking there should be no problem now. After all, her cousin had been wanting these things for a long time. The bag was manageable, but the jewelry in front had limited editions that needed to be pre-ordered, and even with money, they might not be obtainable. But who could blame her for being close friends with the brand owner’s daughter, who was also getting old and planning to grow old together?
Life, indeed, required making more good friends.
Haya sighed with satisfaction, closed her eyes, and prepared to meet the person she had been longing for with the best attitude.
Beyond the sky, a faint night color spread. The horse trainer led a spirited horse back. The twilight was clear, and the next day was bound to be good weather.
If Haya hadn’t been woken up, she would surely feel like this.
In a clean and spacious room, Haya, with sleepy eyes and a puzzled expression, looked at the two people who appeared in the room—the two people she least wanted to see right now.
“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, a water bubble gently floats~①,” Xu Heran held up two balloons and twisted her body.
Jiang Xiaoqiong held two dog-tail grass stems she somehow pulled from somewhere and sang with a playful smile, “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the clear water gently sways.①”
The two of them faced each other at the end of Haya’s bed, singing loudly, “The sun jumps out from here and asks if you’re awake~①”
“Haya can only lie alone on this cold hospital bed~”
“La la la~ la la la~”
The two of them, singing energetically, raised their hands high and spun around.
Suddenly, Haya really wanted to throw them, along with Hana, into outer space and make them orbit the Earth.
“Hana-na!” Haya shouted angrily, “You traitor!”
Hana and the assistant entered the room with breakfast, their expressions calm, their tone natural, “I have to thank you for reminding me. I chatted with Pearl last night, and you mentioned the year-end gift you’re giving me. I reckon it’ll be in my hands tonight, so this year’s year-end gift, change it for me, okay~”
Haya: “…”
“Pearl Xu!” Haya looked at Xu Heran, who was still dancing with Jiang Xiaoqiong, “Are you two elementary school students? What are you singing?”
“La la la, la la la~” Xu Heran immediately jumped up to do a tap dance, “Friend, are you okay? You okay, take two steps down from the bed?”
Jiang Xiaoqiong immediately followed suit, clapping her hands and dancing enthusiastically with Xu Heran.
“Go go go, Haya, come and eat, go!”
These two people taunted Haya while walking towards her bed. Haya, angered, grabbed their wrists, her long fingers raised as she raised an eyebrow, “Come on!”
“Ah!” Jiang Xiaoqiong immediately sought help, “Xianxian, save me!”
Haya weakened her grip, raising her gaze, “Did you come with Xianxian?”
Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to run away and waved two grasses in front of Haya, “I’m fooling you.”
Haya shook her head.
“Look, the balloons in my hand are a pair,” Xu Heran bragged, using a balloon to lightly tap Haya’s head. Jiang Qiong held up the dog-tail grass, “Grass too!”
Haya spread her hands and lay on the bed, pretending to be dead.
Xu Heran suddenly turned her head, “Xianxian, you’re here?”
The person on the bed smirked, “Wait until my foot gets better, and I’ll grind you into powder.”
Xu Heran deliberately smiled and said, “Help me, Xianxian.”
“So fierce.” A gentle voice, coming from afar and getting closer, reached Haya’s ears.
Haya’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately opened her eyes, meeting the gaze of the girl who had just approached.
Autumn had arrived a long time ago. The weather had cooled down. The girl by the bed was wearing a light-colored long skirt and a fluffy cardigan outside. She looked like a cloud, lingering beside Haya.
“Fool, how could you fall off a horse?” Lin Weining looked somewhat worriedly at Haya’s body, speaking softly, “Your previous muscle injury was enough to worry about.”
Haya’s expression was cold, her voice even colder.
“For someone who practices dance, how could there not be a few injuries?”
Lin Weining: “…”
The two people already tearing bread at the table: “Oh~”
“It’s fortunate you were wearing protective gear when you fell. What if you had hit your head?” Xu Heran pretended to be concerned, “Thank goodness, even God couldn’t bear it!”
Jiang Qiong chuckled softly, whispering, “Don’t join a variety show with Haya this year, the kind that requires physical strength. I’m afraid she might murder you.”
Xu Heran waved his hand, “Wang does not see Wang.”
Haya immediately grabbed Lin Weining’s hand, sighing, “I’m so pitiful, and these two are still making fun of me.”
Lin Weining pursed her lips, “Well, you deserved it.”
“…” Haya looked at Lin Weining in disbelief, “Huh?”
In everyone’s eyes, the obedient and gentle girl snorted softly, raised her hand, and pinched Haya’s ear, “You used to bully me so much. Finally, it’s time for me to get my revenge!”
“For heaven’s sake!” Haya raised her hand, “I’m definitely on your side!”
Lin Weining high-fived her, “Liar!”
The liar chuckled, holding onto her fingers, intertwining their hands, and tucking them under the blanket.
“Only this sentence is the most truthful.”
