“Okay, okay!” The front desk clerk opened her eyes, gulped hard, then hurriedly took out her mobile phone.

Then, Jiang Laien picked up a medicine bottle on the ground and saw that it was sleeping pills. Looking at the inside and the remaining amount scattered on the ground, she probably didn’t eat many. It was probably not that she wanted to die, but she drank too much alcohol, and when the two combined, it was easy to get into trouble.

Ye Kehuan looked at the front desk clerk, turned her head, and stretched her trembling hand under Chen Lulu’s nose to check for breath. Fortunately, she was breathing, but it was still scary. At that moment, Ye Kehuan only felt that her whole body was dominated by a kind of fear. She had read all kinds of news and heard about thousands of deaths, but never thought that that kind of thing would happen to those around her, especially to Chen Lulu.

Putting her hands together, Ye Kehuan put her hands on her lips and fixedly looked at Chen Lulu in front of her, her whole body trembling.

“Kehuan…” Jiang Laien put her hand on Ye Kehuan’s shoulder and squatted down, “She must be fine.”

“Yeah.” Ye Kehuan nodded, then let out a sigh of relief, her eyes flushed.

After a while, once 120 arrived, Chen Lulu was taken to an ambulance. After arriving at the hospital, Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien completed the procedures for her together, and then Chen Lulu began to undergo examinations and gastric lavage.

During the whole process, Ye Kehuan seemed a little upset. After all, Chen Lulu was her best friend. The two had known each other for more than ten years. Every time Ye Kehuan encountered a problem, Chen Lulu would not hesitate to stand up for her. Every time Ye Kehuan felt down, Chen Lulu always was the best listener. Sometimes Ye Kehuan felt that Chen Lulu really looked like a bodhisattva. However, she never expected that she would be like this one day.

Jiang Laien sat next to Ye Kehuan and didn’t know what to say, so she just lightly leaned her head on her shoulder and breathed quietly.

She didn’t know how much time passed before the gastric lavage was over. Ye Kehuan stood up immediately when the doctor came out and looked at him questioningly.

The doctor looked at Ye Kehuan and said, “Your friend has no problems. She didn’t take much medicine, but she drank too much alcohol. The alcohol and medicine combined to cause acute poisoning. However, she should be fine after five to twelve hours, and she will wake up. Remember to urge her to drink less in the future.”

“Okay… Thank you, doctor.” Ye Kehuan finally let out the breath she was holding.

Then, Chen Lulu was pushed out of the operating room and transferred to the ward, still unconscious. Chen Lulu, who had no makeup, who was poisoned and had a stomach wash, looked particularly haggard at that time.

Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien walked in together, watched the nurse put her on the bed, looked at each other, and both frowned.

After the nurse finished hanging up the IV, she explained some precautions to Ye Kehuan, and then went out.

Seeing that the door was closed, Ye Kehuan raised her hand and stroked her forehead: “Although the doctor said that there will be no trouble, I still can’t figure out why she drank so much alcohol, what was the trouble? If whatever is weighing on her heart is not lifted, wouldn’t it be easy for her to make this mistake happen again?”

“Could it be because of the barbecue shop owner?” Jiang Laien thought for a moment, staring at Chen Lulu, and said softly.

Chen Lulu sent that back the night before last, probably just to see the boss. Then she poisoned herself by drinking.

Ye Kehuan put down her hands and looked at her: “It’s possible.”

Thinking of this, Ye Kehuan frowned, then opened a takeaway app and found the barbecue restaurant.

“What are you going to do?” Jiang Laien asked.

“I want to know what happened, so I have to ask her to be clear.” After speaking, Ye Kehuan walked out of the ward and dialed the phone number.

Jiang Laien looked at her back with worry in her eyes, and then sat next to Chen Lulu, staring at her, and sighed slightly. Fortunately, Ye Kehuan had a strong hunch, otherwise, something bad might have really happened. Even if she didn’t die, her body might become useless.

Outside the door, once Ye Kehuan dialed out the number, it took a while before the other party answered, “Hello?”

“You’re the owner of Four Seasons BBQ?” Ye Kehuan leaned against the wall with arms folded.

“Well, I’m sorry, we’re closed today.” The barbecue shop owner said in a cold voice.

“I’m not talking about that,” Ye Kehuan let out a long breath, “Chen Lulu knows you, right?”

“Knows.” The boss said concisely, and she couldn’t tell what kind of feelings were in it.

“I am her friend, and I want to know, what happened between you before?” Ye Kehuan asked again.

This time, the boss was silent for a long time before asking, “Why do you ask?”

“She took sleeping pills and drank a lot of alcohol, enough to cause poisoning, and now I sent her to the hospital. I really can’t think of anything that would make her drink like that, unless it’s because of you.” Ye Kehuan kept frowning.

At that time, Ji Changge, who was still cooking soup in the kitchen, suddenly stopped stirring, raised her head, and looked at the white wall under the range hood. After a moment, her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, “Which hospital?”

One minute later, Ji Changge hung up the phone, pressed her lips, and stared straight at the boiling soup pot. After that, she turned off the fire, raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed, turned pale and left the kitchen, walking to the sofa to grab a black coat and put it on. She went to the hallway to put on her shoes, opened the door, and walked out. She slammed the door shut with a bang.

After Ji Changge rushed to the door of the hospital ward, she stopped and breathed deeply. Then she looked down and turned the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.

After hearing the movement, Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien looked at her together. They only felt that she was thinner than the last time they saw her, and she seemed to be less energetic. Ye Kehuan originally wanted to ask her what happened between them, but seeing her appearance, she didn’t speak, just turned her head around, stared at Chen Lulu on the bed, and tucked her quilt.

Jiang Laien looked at Ye Kehuan’s silent and serious profile, then looked at Ji Changge, and nodded at her: “You came?”

“Well,” Ji Changge stretched her legs and walked towards the hospital bed. She fixed her eyes on Chen Lulu for a long while before lowering her head. “What did the doctor say?”

“It’s nothing serious, but I personally think that compared to this, her emotional instability is more terrifying.” Jiang Laien sighed softly.

After listening, Ji Changge turned to the side and said to herself: “I thought it would be better for her.”

“Do what?” Ye Kehuan turned her head abruptly and looked at her suspiciously, “What does this sentence mean?”

“I just want her to understand that I won’t like her. Instead of doing useless work here, she should take back those thoughts as soon as possible, be more decisive and cut them off,” Ji Changge said softly, “I am just avoiding wasting her time and her youth. I am not worthy of her pursuit.”

What Ji Changge said made sense, and Ye Kehuan couldn’t refute it. After all, dislike means dislike, and rejection is also allowed. If she didn’t like her but still didn't refuse, she would be scum. It could only be said that Chen Lulu was too unlucky.

“But…” At that time, Jiang Laien broke the calm of the room.

Ye Kehuan and Ji Changge both looked at her and waited for the follow up.

“Excuse me, you still care about her, don’t you?” Jiang Laien said softly, “At least when I went to your place to eat, I never saw you give snacks to other people in the line. And, if you didn’t care about her at all, you don’t need to come here. Even if you met in the past, whether she is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with you, right?”

Ye Kehuan suddenly felt that Jiang Laien was really too powerful in perceiving emotions and guessing people’s hearts.

“Miss Jiang,” Ji Changge turned to look at her at that moment, “You think too much.”

Seeing her answer very firmly, Jiang Laien nodded and smiled: “Okay, I’ve offended.”

Ji Changge shook her head and said nothing.

TL/N

Two reasons for cutting this chapter in half. One, it was pretty long, and I didn’t feel like doing it all in one shot. The other, there’s a nice amount of dramatic tension with Chen Lulu’s life in the balance, and wasting it by proving her fine immediately felt like, well, a waste.
