When Sister Xia came out of the waiting room and saw Jiang Yu in this state, she was so frightened that she quickly went to help her up and asked, “What happened?!”
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and said, “Nothing. I accidentally twisted my foot when I went on stage.”
Sister Xia lowered her head to take a look. She immediately gasped and said, “It’s already swollen?!”
Jiang Yu comforted sister Xia and said, “It’s alright, Sister Xia. Let’s go back to the waiting room now. We’ll wait for the results later.”
Sister Xia did not have the time to question Li Lu anymore. She was so anxious that she wanted to help Jiang Yu back to the lounge.
However, the lounge was quite far away, and Jiang Yu’s ankle was swelling more and more. It would be difficult for her to return to the lounge.
Li Lu did not intend to lend a helping hand. She glanced at Jiang Yu from afar and returned to her own lounge.
“What’s going on? “Sister Xia asked anxiously, “Is it that Li Lu?”
Jiang Yu nodded and said, “It should be her. But I don’t have any evidence.”
Sister Xia was worried about Jiang Yu’s feet, so she brought a chair from nearby and let Jiang Yu sit on it to rest for a while.
“Sit down and rest for a while. I’ll help you back to the lounge in a while. I don’t know if there’s an infirmary here. I’ll go ask around and see if I can get an ice pack or something.”
Jiang Yu said, “Thank you, Sister Xia.”
Sister Xia anxiously asked the staff about the infirmary. She had no choice but to go to the supermarket outside to see if she could try her luck and buy an ice pack.
Jiang Yu sat on the chair alone and quietly waited for Sister Xia to return.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yu didn’t wait for Sister Xia to return. Instead, she acompetitor came.
“You are… Jiang Yu?” Someone asked from behind her.
Jiang Yu turned around and saw that the person was none other than the contestant of this competition — Xu Ye.
“It’s you?” Jiang Yu asked, “Why are you here?”
Xu Ye explained, “I was bored sitting in the lounge, so I came out for a walk. I didn’t expect to see you here. Why are you sitting here instead of going back to the lounge?”
Jiang Yu said embarrassedly, “I accidentally twisted my ankle just now, so it’s not very convenient.”
Xu Ye was a warm-hearted person. When he heard Jiang Yu said that she twisted her ankle, he quickly squatted down to check her injury and asked, “Is it serious?”
Jiang Yu subconsciously retracted her foot and said, “It’s nothing serious. My manager went out to buy ice bags.”
Xu Ye also knew that his actions had crossed the line. He stood up and scratched his head in embarrassment. Why don’t I bring you back to the lounge? My manager just bought me a bottle of iced water. It can temporarily replace the ice pack.”
Jiang Yu’s foot hurt terribly. Hearing Xu Ye’s words, she said, “Thank you then.”
Xu Ye smiled and said, “It’s okay.”
He knew that Jiang Yu was Mo Long’s girlfriend, so he was very careful when he helped Jiang Yu back to the lounge. He did not carry her or carry her on his back. Instead, he helped her to the lounge step by step.
“Wait a moment. I’ll go get that bottle of iced water,” Xu Ye said.
Jiang Yu said gratefully, “Thank you.”
Xu Ye said, “It’s okay.”
Xu Ye went out and returned to his lounge to get the iced water.
“It’s lucky that your ankle isn’t twisted too badly. The treatment is also more timely.” In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Ye specially wore gloves to avoid touching Jiang Yu’s skin.
