"You... Are you out of your mind?" Chen Huaying glared. She couldn’t believe that the person who should have been the angriest was actually saying "let it go."
Would Yilan’s face just be ruined like that?
Chen Huaying’s reaction helped Sheng Ning realize that she had misunderstood her. Stretching her hand out to pat her shoulder, she knowingly said, "Are you truly foolish or just pretending?"
Yilan could be said to be in perfect harmony with Sheng Ning, understanding her plans before she even finished speaking. Seeing Chen Huaying’s naive appearance, she quipped, "She’s neither truly foolish nor pretending, she’s just shell-shocked."
Hearing Yilan say that, there was nothing left for Chen Huaying to misunderstand. "Go on, we are warriors of the Proletariat, don’t bring up any of that superstitious feudal nonsense."
"Has the team arrived?" asked Sheng Ning.
"Yes! They came last night with Teacher Qiu Bai," Yilan touched her face still wrapped in gauze, no longer able to maintain her forced cheerfulness.
It wasn’t her face that was destroyed, but her life.
A life that held limitless bright prospects.
Sheng Ning grabbed Yilan’s hand, unconsciously gripping it tightly. "Your appearance won’t be ruined, your future is limitless. Trust me, you will become the most dazzling and accomplished musician, artist."
In a previous life, Yilan’s future was indeed magnificent. Those so-called top celebrities, even the "Asia’s movie stars," couldn’t hold a candle to her.
Who wouldn’t respectfully call her "Teacher"?
Such talent, she absolutely wouldn’t allow it to be cut short mid-way.
"Thank you!" Yilan gave a bitter smile, "It’s my face that’s hurt, not my hands; I can still play the piano."
"How could it be the same?" Chen Huaying was just about to speak when Sheng Ning stopped her with a look.
"That’s right! Please don’t give up, okay?" Sheng Ning held her hand, pleadingly looking at her, "Definitely don’t give up, even if your face gets disfigured. I will find a way; if you give up, no one can help you through music."
Yilan was moved by the determination in her eyes; she actually knew very well what situation she was in. From her childhood, she had always been different from the other kids, knowing what she wanted, what phase she was in, and how she planned her future path.
Even now, having her face disfigured, if it were anyone else, they would have broken down hysterically long ago. But she didn’t; she was eerily calm.
The more desolate she felt inside, the more composed she appeared outside. Even her aunt hadn’t discovered her real thoughts, but now, she felt that Sheng Ning understood her.
"Do I still have a path to follow?"
"Yes!" Sheng Ning nodded firmly. "Please trust me; your face will heal. Even if it doesn’t improve soon, future medical technology will definitely be able to. And what’s exceptional about you is your music, your hands are like a magician’s. Please don’t give up, even if it’s for me, for all of us, okay?" Sheng Ning knew that once Yilan was discharged, she wouldn’t return to the Song and Dance Troupe.
Once home, she could easily fall into a negative mindset. If she lost faith in life, she could really end up doing anything.
In her previous life, soon after she was put in jail, she had tried to commit suicide multiple times.
"Okay!" Yilan, moved by the firm emotion in her eyes, vaguely nodded her head.
She was a person who kept her promises; whatever she agreed to do, she would definitely accomplish.
Sheng Ning was relieved, "Thank you!"
