"I wish to be burdened by 100 pounds... A little lighter than that, and be crushed to death by a 120-pound beauty!" Lin Beifan earnestly made his wish.
"Ding! Wish granted!"
At that moment, Song Yuqing gave a slight smile and said, "I'm sorry, I need to use the restroom."
"Of course, go ahead," Lin Beifan replied.
Song Yuqing managed to stand up, but after taking just two steps, the high heels on her feet snapped, causing her body to lurch unnaturally towards Lin Beifan.
"Watch out!!!" Lin Beifan exclaimed.
Despite his quick reaction, it was too late. The two of them tumbled to the ground together.
Plop.
Lin Beifan felt the warmth of the body in his hands, looked at the beautiful face before him, and asked in a daze, "Are you really 120 pounds?"
Blushing, Song Yuqing replied, "I might have overindulged at lunch today..."
Trying to lighten the mood, Lin Beifan reassured her, "At 1.72 meters tall, 120 pounds isn't considered overweight."
Embarrassed, Song Yuqing urged, "Enough talk, please help me up."
"Sure, right away."
Meanwhile, witnessing the scene, Xiao Chen, the protagonist, felt a surge of frustration. The story had just begun, yet before he could intervene, his beloved had already fallen into someone else's arms. It felt like a switch had been flipped in his mind—an ominous green light signaling trouble ahead.
Green, signifying panic!
Reacting swiftly, he hastened his pace.
However, in his haste, he accidentally collided with a passerby, stumbling and falling to the ground.
To his surprise, the person he bumped into was a hefty girl, weighing 240 pounds. Her round figure made her unstable on her feet, struggling to maintain balance as she walked.
"Oops!!!"
A deafening crash reverberated throughout the building, accompanied by a distinct cracking noise that startled everyone present.
The hefty girl shook her head in confusion, muttering, "Huh? Everything seems fine..."
However, a pained voice emanated from beneath her, "You might be fine, but... I'm in trouble!"
Quickly realizing the gravity of the situation, the fat girl apologized profusely, "I'm so sorry... Are you alright? Can you move?"
"Oops... don't move!" Xiao Chen's complexion turned an unhealthy shade of green and purple as he grimaced, "I think... I've broken a rib!"
"Okay...I won't move..." The fat girl replied anxiously, attempting to stand up.
Unfortunately, her unstable center of gravity caused her to lose balance once more, inadvertently crushing Xiao Chen beneath her weight.
"Click."
The protagonist Xiao Chen: "..."
The fat girl covered her face with her hands, exclaiming, "I'm so sorry! It was an accident!"
"Stop talking and call an ambulance!!!" Lin Beifan shouted urgently.
Witnessing the scene from a distance, Lin Beifan was stunned by what had unfolded. A broken rib caused by a 240-pound fat girl... This was certainly a dire situation!
Reflecting on their first encounter, it had never been this disastrous!
As the rescue efforts commenced, Lin Beifan was the most proactive. Approaching the protagonist Xiao Chen, who appeared pallid and bruised, Lin Beifan expressed genuine concern, "Brother, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
The protagonist Xiao Chen's eyes blazed with frustration. Seeing his enemy within reach, yet unable to act, he gritted his teeth and forced out, "I...I'm fine!"
Lin Beifan scolded, "Brother, don't be foolish! You've got three broken ribs! Pretending it's alright won't do you any good. You'll be bedridden for a hundred days and won't recover for two months if you don't lie down! Don't worry, I've already called an ambulance for you!"
"I...thank you...thank you all!"
"You're welcome, it's the least we can do!"
Shortly after, the ambulance arrived and transported Xiao Chen to the hospital.
Inside the ambulance, Lin Beifan apologized, "Yuqing, I'm sorry, but we'll have to cancel our dinner plans."
Song Yuqing shook her head considerately, "It's not a problem. Saving lives comes first! I've noticed that you're a good person. Brave and helpful, qualities that are hard to find."
Lin Beifan sighed, "It's not a virtue, I just can't help meddling in others' affairs."
"It's not a problem, it's a strength!"
"Since we couldn't have dinner tonight, I'll invite you another day!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Meanwhile, lying on the sickbed, Xiao Chen watched the scene with burning resentment.
'Damn them! Look at them, showing affection even when I'm in this state! Lovebirds are asking for trouble!'
Suddenly, as the ambulance hit a bump, Xiao Chen winced in pain, his face contorting in agony.
In about 15 minutes, they arrived at the hospital. Lin Beifan assisted Xiao Chen through the admission procedures and paid the medical expenses upfront. Song Yuqing observed this with admiration.
"This is a responsible man!"
After the doctor's examination, it was determined that Xiao Chen had only sustained three broken ribs, and the injury wasn't severe. His ribs were fixed with a chest strap, and he would need to take bone-healing medication for about two months before fully recovering.
Once all the procedures were completed, the doctor asked with concern, "How are you feeling?"
The protagonist Xiao Chen was pale and sweating profusely, "It still hurts... Can you give me some painkillers?"
"Of course, I'll arrange it for you right away," Lin Beifan replied.
Checking the time, Lin Beifan realized that it was past midnight, which meant he could make another wish.
Glancing at Xiao Chen, who lay on the bed in agony, Lin Beifan silently made his wish, "I wish for a body impervious to harm, like that of King Kong!"
"Ding! Wish granted!"
Suddenly, Lin Beifan felt an indomitable strength surging through his body, rendering him invulnerable to harm.
On the other side, the doctor approached with the anesthesia.
"Come, come, you'll feel better soon," the doctor reassured.
However, despite multiple attempts, the doctor couldn't administer the anesthesia.
Xiao Chen was on the brink of passing out from the pain, "Doctor, are you alright? I can't bear this pain much longer!"
The doctor sighed, "Your skin is incredibly tough to penetrate! In all my years of practicing medicine, I've never encountered such resilience..."
"What should we do now? Can I take pills instead?" Xiao Chen inquired.
"Anesthetics target the nerves and are ineffective when ingested orally. Stomach acid would dissolve the medication, rendering it useless. It has to be administered via injection," the doctor explained.
"I have a prescription... If you could just boil these herbs into a concoction," Xiao Chen suggested.
"I can't follow your prescription; the hospital has strict regulations against arbitrary medication. Who would take responsibility if something went wrong?" the doctor responded, feeling helpless.
"Wait a minute, let me think of a solution," Lin Beifan declared.
However, despite an hour of brainstorming, the doctor still couldn't devise a plan.
The pain eventually caused Xiao Chen to lose consciousness.
Sympathizing with his suffering, Song Yuqing remarked, "He's in such a dire state."
Lin Beifan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's truly unfortunate."
