Chapter 467 The Shame of the Reborn!
Chapter 467 The Shame of the Reborn!
Shi Kai didn't talk much, but he ate heartily with a satisfied smile on his face, occasionally handing Li Yifeng a condiment or helping to flip the skewers.
Li Yifeng completely let loose, transforming into a lively character and "defender of grilled fish" by the barbecue grill.
While boasting about his culinary skills that could "turn rotten (grouper) into something magical," he was also busy tending to the various skewers on the grill, and he had to banter with Su Luming, telling jokes that were hard to believe, which made Su Luming laugh non-stop.
Ye Fan was the most relaxed one, leaning back in a comfortable chair, occasionally reaching for a few skewers of grilled meat or seafood, commenting on them, and spending most of his time slowly drinking ice-cold beer or scrolling through his phone screen.
The light from the charcoal fire flickered on his face.
The charcoal fire never went out, the beer kept coming, and the aroma of grilled skewers mingled with the laughter of young people.
This impromptu barbecue party lasted from the afterglow of dusk until midnight on the quiet campus.
The empty beer crates scattered at the feet silently testify to the lavishness of this extravagant banquet.
......
The clock had already struck midnight, the dormitory building was tightly shut, and there was no way to go back.
Fortunately, the group was familiar with Ye Fan's bamboo grove courtyard.
The school granted this detached building, which was specially approved for Ye Fan's status as the top scorer in the imperial examination, and the rooms are quite spacious.
As a long-term "resident," the ancestral spirit has always had its own tidy little room.
Su Luming could naturally share a night with Xian Zuling.
As for Li Yifeng and Shi Kai, who were quite drunk, their requirements were even lower—they just wanted to avoid sleeping in the courtyard.
There are still a few empty rooms. Although mattresses may not be available, there is plenty of room in the living room with a spacious sofa, or even enough room to sleep on the floor.
"Alright, everyone find a place to settle down." Ye Fan rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling tired from the alcohol, and turned to walk towards the wooden staircase leading to the second floor.
He was still thinking about confirming some things with Miao Zi tomorrow when his legs felt a little unsteady.
Things can change in an instant!
Perhaps he stepped on a small loose piece of floorboard at the edge of the stairs, or perhaps the alcohol temporarily disrupted his balance—Ye Fan felt his right foot slip suddenly, and his body instantly lost its center of gravity!
"Damn it—!" A short, startled cry was barely uttered before he was tumbled down the hard, angular stairs like a puppet with its strings cut, with a series of thuds. His phone flew out of his hand, making a piercing crash in the silent night.
"Ah—!" Su Luming and Xian Zuling, who were following behind, were so frightened that they screamed with their faces pale!
In the living room, Li Yifeng and Shi Kai, slumped on the sofa, were completely intoxicated and snoring softly, oblivious to the sudden turn of events.
Ye Fan fell heavily to the bottom of the stairs. The huge impact and the pain in many places instantly sobered him up a lot!
My bones felt like they were falling apart, and every bump or bruise burned with pain.
"Ye Fan!"
"How are you?"
Su Luming and Xian Zuling rushed to his side, their faces pale.
Su Luming tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled almost imperceptibly as he tried to check his injuries.
Xian Zuling was completely panicked. Her face instantly turned pale, her lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and her outstretched hand hung in mid-air. She wanted to touch him but was afraid of hurting him. All that was left was fear and helplessness in her eyes.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth and struggled to sit up with the help of the two men.
He shook his buzzing head, trying to reassure them, "Ouch...no...it's nothing! I just bumped into something..."
Before he could finish speaking, a burning pain shot through his left cheekbone. When he touched it, his fingertips were moistened with a little warmth.
Even worse, a sudden, excruciating pain shot through his left ankle, causing his vision to go black and making him almost unable to stand!
"Ugh—!" He groaned, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead, his face turning extremely pale. "My leg... my left leg seems... maybe I've broken it..."
His voice carried suppressed pain and a hint of foreboding.
These words were like a thunderclap!
The spirit's body visibly swayed, its already pale face turning as white as gold paper, as if all the blood in its body had been drained, leaving only immense fear gripping its heart.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
"Go to the hospital! Go to the hospital right now!" Su Luming made a decisive decision, his voice rising sharply, filled with an unquestionable resolve.
She quickly suppressed her panic, her sharp eyes sweeping over Ye Fan: "The keys! Give me the car keys! I'll drive! Quickly!"
At this moment, her inherent decisiveness and sense of responsibility were fully revealed.
Ye Fan endured the pain and laboriously pulled the car keys out of his pocket, tossing them to her.
"Old Li! Old Shi! Wake up! Something's happened!" Su Luming shouted towards the living room as he caught the keys.
However, the two drunkards only groaned incoherently twice and did not respond at all.
"Forget it! Let's go first!" Su Luming didn't delay any longer. He and Xian Zuling, who was almost exhausted but still trying to help, lifted Ye Fan up from both sides and carried him towards the Audi A7 parked at the door.
The campus was silent in the dead of night, with only their hurried and heavy footsteps and Ye Fan's suppressed gasps echoing in the air.
The engine roared, and the headlights pierced the darkness.
Like an arrow released from a bow, the Audi A7 carried the aching Ye Fan and the two anxious girls, speeding towards the nearest hospital emergency room.
The bamboo grove courtyard, which was just moments ago filled with the aroma of barbecue smoke and laughter, is now nothing but a mess and a chilling sense of lingering fear.
Sometimes, the turning point in life happens in the most unexpected moment.
......
In the hospital emergency room, the procedures are carried out very quickly.
The test results came back quickly:
That outrageously handsome face only suffered a minor scratch. After applying some iodine solution, the doctor said it would scab over and fall off in a few days, and wouldn't affect his status as the "face of the group."
The real problem is with my left foot—a minor fracture in my ankle!
Half an hour later, the three of them came out of the hospital.
Ye Fan's image underwent a dramatic transformation.
A conspicuous gauze was pasted on his face, and his left leg was wrapped tightly with a hard splint and bandages from his ankle to the middle of his calf, looking like a white rice dumpling, with obvious swelling.
What's even more noticeable is the new aluminum alloy cane under his arm, which makes a "tap, tap, tap" sound when he walks.
Leaning on his cane, Ye Fan felt the dull pain in his ankle and the difficulty in moving. He was speechless with disbelief: a reborn person who hadn't died in the business world or fallen victim to an enemy's schemes had actually stumbled on his own stairs...
What a disgrace to those who have been reborn!
Su Luming drove steadily, carrying the "newly injured" and the still worried Xian Zuling back to the bamboo grove courtyard.
