[Urban] Campus Maple Leaves Red (Complete) - 10

[Volume 1: First Encounter with Maple Leaves] Chapter 5: Anything is fine? (7)

Before Principal Li could speak, two of the girls surrounding him grabbed his arms, one on each side, while the rest started groping him.

This was in broad daylight! Just as Principal Li, who was startled and sweating profusely, was about to break free, the girls had already let go of him and run to the side, laughing and joking.

They had only snatched Principal Li's cell phone from his pocket, and then huddled together, looking through it as they walked towards the gymnasium. Along the way, as other team members who had finished running laps joined in, a large group of girls huddled together, looking through a cell phone that only had four phone numbers and one text message saved.

Upon entering the gymnasium, the girls swarmed into the locker room, followed by a cacophony of cell phone rings. A group of girls were vying to save Principal Li's phone number into their own phones, and simultaneously, they were also saving their own phone numbers into Principal Li's.

This commotion caused by a single cell phone left Coach Mi Fengying and the team doctor, who had only officially joined the No. 33 Middle School team the day before, shaking their heads in disbelief. Coach Mi Fengying, in particular, was visibly impressed when she saw her four players excitedly joining in the number-saving frenzy. She looked thoughtfully at Principal Li, who followed them into the gymnasium.

Ya Rou was the last to receive the phone. After saving the number, she fiddled with it for a while before returning it to Principal Li. The

moment the phone was in Principal Li's hands, the "The Moon Caused the Trouble" ringtone sounded. Confirming it was his phone, Principal Li pressed the answer button.

The call was from Secretary Tian. She told Principal Li that the meeting was about to end and Vice Mayor Fang and his entourage would be arriving at the school soon. She said her preparations were almost complete and asked if Principal Li was ready. Finally, she told Principal Li that this was her phone number and asked him to save it for future contact.

She handed the phone to Ya Rou, who was still beside her, and asked her to save Secretary Tian's number. Principal Li then began gathering his team.

After the steady-pace running training, they conducted tactical drills in groups. Coach Mi and Principal Li each led four players, practicing tactics in a real-game setting.

After Secretary Tian led Vice Mayor Fang and his entourage into the gymnasium, the tactical drills, resembling a competitive match, gradually intensified.

The players on the field were playing with great intensity, and after watching for a few minutes, Vice Mayor Fang couldn't resist the urge to join in. She whispered a few words to Xie Xin beside her, and then they went to the locker room.

The mayor, having changed into his sportswear, stood on the sidelines with Xie Xin, temporarily halting the scrimmage. Two players from Coach Mi's group were substituted, leaving the mayor, head coach, assistant coach, and the remaining two players on the court as a team. When Principal Li substituted Yuanyuan, Ya Rou, who was on the sidelines, gave a signal, and another player was substituted from Coach Mi's group. A thirty-minute match then began.

For the first five minutes, the mayor and coach's team led the offense, while Principal Li's group focused on defense. However, after those five minutes, what started as a game-like affair began to change dramatically due to the increasingly serious attitude of two players.

Both Yuanyuan and Ya Rou played center, meaning they were constantly facing each other on both offense and defense. The back-and-forth between the two players intensified, a tension that was deliberately or unintentionally stirred up by Ya Rou. Whether intentional or not, whenever Coach Mi's team was on offense, they would always find an opportunity to pass the ball to Ya Rou at center, allowing her to finish the attack. Meanwhile, when Principal Li's team had possession, Yu Lian and Tian Tian would create as many opportunities as possible for Yuan Yuan.

If ranked by position, the mayor and head coach would undoubtedly have the upper hand. However, things on the field generally don't depend on rank. Because the mayor and coaching staff were working together for the first time and rarely had the opportunity to play, although they possessed some experience, they had become rusty with the game's rhythm, leading to numerous unnecessary mistakes.

Originally, Principal Li's team could have easily conceded a little more, but as Ya Rou and Yuan Yuan got heated on the court, coupled with the seemingly unintentional encouragement from others, Xie Xin and Principal Li on their side could only helplessly watch the game escalate more intensely.

Of course, in a game of ten, only six people were truly committed: the mayor, the assistant coach, and Ya Rou on that team. On this team, it was Yuan Yuan, Yu Lian, and Tian Tian.

A series of unnecessary mistakes caused the mayor and coaching team to fall behind, even though it wasn't a real game. With the thirty minutes of the game nearing its end, a somewhat anxious Ya Rou was again defending Yuan Yuan, who was dribbling and attacking from her own half of the court. When

people are anxious, besides the psychological impact, some of their habitual behaviors are unconsciously brought out. Ya Rou had a habitual action: whether on offense or defense, she liked to use her plump, fleshy buttocks to attack opposing players.

In her haste, a habitual movement unconsciously occurred, but this habitual movement only happened when Yuanyuan had already jumped to shoot.

As Yuanyuan landed, the upper part of her thigh collided with Yarou's unconsciously protruding buttocks. The impact caused Yuanyuan to lose her balance and fall to one side.

Principal Li, who was behind Yuanyuan, reacted quickly and caught her just as she was about to hit the floor. Yuanyuan didn't fall hard, but landing on one leg and shifting her weight inevitably resulted in a sprained ankle. Bumps and bruises are unavoidable

on the basketball court, and by the time Yuanyuan was helped to the sidelines to rest, the game was over. Having enjoyed a game of basketball, Vice Mayor Fang comforted the injured Yuanyuan, shook hands with the coaches and players to offer encouragement, and then left No. 33 Middle School with his entourage.

After seeing off Vice Mayor Fang and his entourage, the team doctor, who had examined Yuanyuan's sprained ankle, rushed over with shocking news: Yuanyuan's sprain was a severe dislocation of her ankle!

Mild sprains can be treated with a week of rehabilitation before returning to training. More serious sprains, as long as they aren't accompanied by ligament or tendon strains, can recover in about a month.

But a severe dislocation is different; it might take three months, or even six months, to recover. Regardless, Yuanyuan will miss the competition two months from now.

The team doctor hadn't told Yuanyuan or the other team members this; she had come to report to Principal Li and the coach first. The team doctor's actions were correct, but her hurried departure caught the attention of Yu Lian, who was concerned about Yuanyuan.

Secretly following the team doctor, Yu Lian overheard everything the doctor said to Principal Li.

Yuanyuan wouldn't be able to participate in the competition two months from now! This news not only shocked Yu Lian but also ignited a burning anger within her!

"It was all that damned bitch's doing!" Driven by shock and rage, Yu Lian, her hair practically standing on end, cursed inwardly as she sprinted towards the gymnasium.

When Principal Li and the others, worried about Yuan Yuan's injury, rushed to the gymnasium, it was already in complete chaos!

Yu Lian, holding a strength training barbell in both hands, was still searching for Ya Rou, intending to break her leg, even as Coach Mi desperately tried to pull her away!

[Volume 1: First Encounter with Maple Leaves] Chapter 5: This works too (8)

Coach Mi's strength is not small for a woman, but Yu Lian is even stronger in this aspect. In addition, she is in a crazy state of desperate struggle, so Coach Mi can't hold her back no matter what. Just as Principal Li and the others entered the gymnasium and had not yet figured out what was going on, Yu Lian, who had broken free from Coach Mi, had already swung the barbell and rushed towards Ya Rou, who was being held by several team members.

Principal Li's hands are fast enough. On the court, he can catch Yuan Yuan who is about to fall, and he can also catch the barbell that is crashing into Ya Rou.

However, the swinging bar is not a person's body. Principal Li, who was half-facing the bar to catch it, did not catch it completely this time. The bar, which was weakened, slipped from his hands and hit his biceps on his shoulder.

Oh—Principal Li groaned when he was hit by the bar.

Ah—it was the scream of everyone who witnessed this scene.

*Bang!* A loud crash echoed as the horizontal bar slammed onto the floor.

A hush fell over the entire gymnasium.

"Teacher...Teacher Li...Teacher Li, you...you...sob...are you alright?...sob...you..."

Yu Lian's voice and sobs brought those who had been stunned back to their senses.

Suddenly, Principal Li, clutching his shoulder, was surrounded. A chaotic chorus of anxious, yet indistinctly discernible, voices of concern filled the air.

Emerging from the crowd, Principal Li approached Yu Lian, who was crouching to the side, looking somewhat dazed and weeping uncontrollably.

"Lian, I'm alright. Come with me to see Yuanyuan."

He knelt down, gently stroking Yu Lian's head. Seeing her look up at him with concern, Principal Li spoke to her calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Yu Lian hesitated, but Teacher Li had already extended the arm that had just been hit by the barbell, pulled Yu Lian up from her squatting position, and together they walked towards Yuan Yuan, who was sitting anxiously on the mat.

When the team doctor examined Yuan Yuan earlier, Yuan Yuan had already taken off her shoes and socks. Such injuries usually require X-rays at the hospital before any specific treatment can be given, so the team doctor had only made a basic assessment of the injury and hadn't done any further treatment on Yuan Yuan's foot.

Teacher Li appreciated Yuan Yuan's concern, but he was more concerned about the injury to Yuan Yuan's foot. He told Yuan Yuan that he was fine, while turning back to call out to Ya Rou, who was standing some distance away.

Ya Rou came over, and Teacher Li had her squat down to help support Yuan Yuan's leg, and then began to examine Yuan Yuan's ankle injury.

The dislocated ankle not only caused Yuan Yuan's foot to bend inwards slightly, but it was also frighteningly swollen. Teacher Li was concentrating intently on examining Yuanyuan, while Ya Rou, who was helping to support Yuanyuan's injured leg, trembled slightly as she looked at the injured area of Yuanyuan's ankle.

"Xiao Lian, go to the rest room and get our usual first-aid kit,"

Teacher Li said to Yu Lian, who was squatting on the other side of him, after examining Yuanyuan's ankle.

Yu Lian agreed and got up to get the first-aid kit. At this moment, Xie Xin, who had been watching Teacher Li's examination from behind, gently nudged him with her knee.

"There's no bone damage, just a dislocated joint. It'll be reset in a bit."

Knowing what Xie Xin meant, Teacher Li was telling everyone around him the results of the examination, even though he was telling her.

The rest room was nearby, and Yu Lian was quick. Teacher Li had barely finished speaking when she had already run over with the first-aid kit.

Some commonly used instruments and medicines were set aside after the first-aid kit was opened. Opening the second layer of the first-aid kit revealed some instruments that a layperson would never understand.

Interestingly, the members of the 33rd Women's Team had seen this first-aid kit for over half a year, but they were surprised to learn it had a second layer, and they were also seeing the instruments inside for the first time.

A splint-like device was used to stabilize Yuanyuan's knee joint (to prevent uncontrolled leg movement during treatment due to pain), and Ya Rou held Yuanyuan's waist from behind. Yu Lian and Xie Xin supported Yuanyuan's legs on either side, and Teacher Li also held Yuanyuan's injured foot, preparing to treat her.

"Dr. Zhang—"

Just when everyone thought Teacher Li was about to begin treating Yuanyuan, Teacher Li, holding Yuanyuan's injured foot, called out to Team Doctor Zhang.

"Principal Li, what…"

Suddenly called by Principal Li, Team Doctor Zhang, who had been closely watching Principal Li's every move, only managed to answer half a sentence when everyone's attention turned to him, at which point Yuanyuan let out a cry.

The repositioning was completed in that instant.

From the second layer of the medicine box, he took out a small bottle containing a liquid with a strong, bone-setting odor, and applied it evenly to Yuanyuan's repositioned ankle. Small bamboo strips strung together were used to secure Yuanyuan's ankle, and then a bandage was wrapped from heel to toe and then along the ankle to the calf. With all this done, the initial treatment was considered complete.

They lifted Yuanyuan, who was in pain and covered in sweat, onto a stretcher. While everyone else went to comfort Yuanyuan, Teacher Li stroked Yu Lian's head, who hadn't left his side the whole time, and said, "You little crazy girl! I saw everything that happened on the field today. Ya Rou definitely didn't mean to hurt Yuanyuan! Didn't you see how guilty Ya Rou felt about it? You silly girl, if it weren't for Teacher Li and Coach Xie arriving in time, you would have put both of our team's centers on long holidays!"

"I...I was just...anxious."

After the emotional rollercoaster, Yu Lian, who had lowered her head under Teacher Li's large hand, finally showed the expression of a girl who had done something wrong.

"Hehe...you little crazy girl! You were fighting so hard with Ya Rou just now, shouldn't you say something to her now?"

Teacher Li gently rubbed the crazy girl's head with a hint of reproach in his large hand, and then pulled her up from the mat.

"Come on, say something to her."

Pulling the madwoman's hand, Teacher Li smiled as she looked at the madwoman, who was half-hidden behind her, and gently tugged at her arm, speaking softly.

"Well... Ya... Ya Rou, I... um..."

The madwoman was still a young girl, and at this moment, she really couldn't find the right words to express herself.

"Okay! Xiao Lian, you're really great! If Yuan Yuan doesn't blame me later, can I consider you my sister?"

The madwoman's somewhat shy demeanor stemmed mainly from the lingering shock of hitting Teacher Li with that barbell. She felt guilty towards Yuan Yuan, but even more so from the sisterly bond between Yu Lian and Ya Rou. She grabbed Yu Lian's free hand, directly expressing her admiration and envy.

"Okay! Let's go see Yuanyuan together!"

Ya Rou's straightforwardness made Yu Lian forget her shyness, and the two girls, whose personalities were quite compatible, walked hand in hand towards Yuanyuan.

Seeing Ya Rou and Yu Lian approaching hand in hand, the people surrounding the stretcher where Yuanyuan was sitting made way for them.

"Yuanyuan, do you believe I didn't do it on purpose just now?"

Facing Yuanyuan, Ya Rou released Yu Lian's hand and looked at Yuanyuan very seriously, asking.

"Ya Rou, I believe you!"

Looking intently at Ya Rou, Yuan Yuan replied,

"Yuan Yuan, I'm so sorry about what happened on the court today!"

Ya Rou said, bowing deeply and perfectly.

A tall, strong girl suddenly making such a gesture might seem a little comical, but at this moment, no one thought that way anymore, because everyone felt the deeper meaning behind it.

"Ya Rou! It's not your fault, please don't..."

Yuan Yuan, unable to move her right leg and reach for Ya Rou, spoke urgently.

Yu Lian, standing nearby, stopped Ya Rou from continuing. The two girls, hand in hand, half-squatted beside Yuan Yuan's stretcher, their initial awkwardness dispelled, and they began talking about Ya Rou's talk of becoming sisters.

While all the girls' basketball team members surrounded Yuan Yuan's stretcher, chattering excitedly, Xie Xin let out a suppressed scream, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Teacher Li, who was being held down by Xie Xin.

Even the most observant girls can easily overlook details when distracted by external stimuli. But Xie Xin wasn't like that, nor was Coach Mi. Coach Li's right arm, which had been struck by the barbell, trembled uncontrollably except when he was examining and treating Yuan Yuan. Moreover, the layers of sweat beading on his forehead couldn't have come from exerting a great deal of force during Yuan Yuan's treatment.

No one is made of iron; even with reduced force, the impact of an 18-kilogram barbell on the shoulder is unimaginable. Coach Li could use the composure expected of a grown man to make the girls "ignore" this obvious problem. But when Xie Xin saw Coach Li instinctively reach for his trembling right arm with his left hand after Yu Lian and Ya Rou left, she could no longer suppress her concern and went to Coach Li's side to check on his injury.

Old Li wasn't going to examine his injury right now. The increasingly sharp pain radiating from his shoulder told him the injury was probably serious. However, if he examined it now, it would frighten the girls who had just relaxed from their initial tension, and it would also make Yu Lian, who was still feeling uneasy, feel even more guilty. So, he wanted to endure it a little longer, at least until Yuan Yuan was taken to the hospital for further examination.

Xie Xin, however, didn't care about that. She pressed down on Old Li, who was half-squatting there, and forcefully, yet more carefully, unbuttoned his collar to examine him.

A high, swollen, purplish-blue bruise caused both Xie Xin, who was examining the wound, and Coach Mi, who had also come over to look, to scream. However, Xie Xin's scream was louder because it came out naturally, while Coach Mi, though shocked, managed to suppress his voice, making it softer. After all, the psychological factors they were currently concerned about were quite different.

Xie Xin's scream made Team Doctor Zhang the first to realize what had happened, and she was the first to come over.

Professionals are professionals! With swift and skillful movements, Team Leader Zhang quickly revealed the prominent bruise on Old Li's shoulder.

The purplish-blue mark startled all the girls! Yu Lian, however, reacted the most strongly, running over crying and grabbing Old Li's injured arm, instinctively shaking and talking to him. Even Old Li, who was usually so composed, couldn't help but wince and gasp in shock!

Thankfully, Yu Lian released her grip in time. Thankfully, Old Li's nerves recovered relatively quickly. And thankfully, Secretary Tian, who had gone with Old Li to withdraw cash from the finance department to take Yuan Yuan to the hospital after learning of her injury, arrived at that moment.

So, Old Li comforted Yu Lian while the other directed everyone to carry Yuan Yuan to the van parked outside the stadium.

Xie Xin, Secretary Tian, Team Doctor Zhang, and a female team member were sent to Yuanyuan in a minivan. Old Li and Yu Lian, who had been clinging to his clothes ever since she saw the scar on his shoulder, got into Coach Mi's Chery. Zhang Nan and Tian Tian also squeezed into the Chery.

Ya Rou had been making phone calls since Secretary Tian started directing everyone to lift Yuanyuan into the car. Once everyone was seated, she hung up and asked the other girls, "Who's coming to the hospital with me?"

A luxury sedan had been called by Ya Rou, but even the most luxurious sedan couldn't fit any more girls in it. So the remaining girls waved, hailed a car, and followed Ya Rou's car to the hospital.

The former Beizhen People's Hospital, now Jiangzhong City Second Hospital, was the most authoritative orthopedic hospital in Jiangzhong City and even the entire province. Just as Yuanyuan and Principal Li's two cars stopped at the hospital entrance, the luxury sedan carrying Ya Rou and the others arrived.

[Volume 1: First Encounter with Maple Leaves] Chapter 5: Anything is Fine (9)

After registering, just as Yuanyuan was placed on the examination table in the outpatient department, a very young doctor walked over and helped Yuanyuan lie down while asking, "What's wrong with her?"

"It's a dislocation caused by a sprained ankle."

Hearing the question, Team Leader Zhang quickly answered and walked to the young doctor's side.

"Is it this foot?"

After hearing Team Leader Zhang's answer, the young doctor's question was relatively mild, but then... "Who did this!"

"Don't you know that dislocated joints shouldn't be moved around?"

"You..."

Team Leader Zhang was obviously encountering such a faceless question for the first time. She hadn't recovered yet and looked at the young doctor who was roaring in front of her and was about to take off the bandage wrapped around Yuanyuan's injured foot.

"Don't move! Go and call your Director Sun!"

Although his shoulder was injured, Principal Li's hand was still fast enough! He pulled away the young doctor's hand that was about to take off the bandage and said to her without any room for doubt. "Who are you! What right do you have to stop me from examining the patient! Don't think that just because you know Director Sun, you can..."

The young doctor's face instantly turned red, and her roar at Principal Li, who had stopped her, almost pierced the roof of the outpatient ward.

While Principal Li was still calmly dealing with the oncoming roar, a doctor in his thirties with glasses and a very refined demeanor quickly walked over and pulled the roaring young doctor away.

The young doctor, whose roar had gradually subsided, stepped aside. The refined-looking doctor with glasses, looking at Principal Li with a half-smile, said, "Old Li, I'm truly sorry, our young Dr. Chu is in a bad mood today, and I'm sorry you had to suffer."

His words were polite, but lacked sincerity. However, Principal Li, completely unconcerned, looked at the doctor with glasses and said, "Young Sun, this is a member of our school's team. She sprained her ankle during training. Our team doctor and I have already done some initial treatment, and now we'd like to check if the bones in her ankle are injured. Do you think we should take an X-ray?"

"Then take off the bandage on her foot. I wouldn't dare touch anything you've put there,"

Principal Li said, as if it were his right. The young doctor, about to roar again, swallowed her words when she saw Director Sun's attitude.

With Director Sun's permission, Principal Li began to remove the bandages from Yuanyuan's foot. Suddenly, the bespectacled doctor noticed a man in his forties entering the clinic and quickly and respectfully approached him, quietly explaining the situation.

The man, whom the bespectacled doctor treated with great respect, nodded as he listened to Director Sun's explanation, while simultaneously gesturing for the young doctor to watch Principal Li's movements on Yuanyuan's leg.

The bandages were unwrapped layer by layer, and the splint used to immobilize the injury was slowly removed. The forty-year-old man who had just entered looked increasingly serious.

Traditional Chinese medicine splinting for treating bone injuries has a very long history, and its treatment methods have branched into many schools due to regional differences and varying treatment experiences. Although the techniques of the currently popular schools are frequently seen in major hospitals (excluding those based on Western medicine), the method Principal Li was currently using did not belong to any of these popular schools.

Without observing Yuanyuan's injury closely, the forty-year-old man said to Director Sun standing beside him, "The bone should be fine. A scan will check, and if everything is okay, she can go home and rest."

After saying this, he nodded to Dr. Sun and turned to leave.

At the entrance to the clinic, the forty-year-old man was immediately grabbed by Ya Rou, who was waiting there. Then, Ya Rou's reproachful voice echoed throughout the entire clinic corridor.

The forty-year-old man was used to Ya Rou's accusations. He smiled and calmed her down, saying, "Hehe, you little brat! It's not that your uncle is unwilling to treat others, it's just that there are people better at it than your uncle. Do you think I would step in?"

Ya Rou's uncle was an authority on orthopedic surgery at this hospital, specializing in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. However, he also had in-depth knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine treatments for bone injuries. He deeply understood that traditional Chinese medicine held an irreplaceable position in these areas, even if these methods were merely based on accumulated folk experience.

Just now, seeing the bandage on Yuan Yuan's foot, he assumed it was done by someone knowledgeable in modern Western medicine, and that's why he wanted to wait until Principal Li removed the bandage before reaching out. Later, when he saw the small splint used for fixation inside the bandage, he abandoned the idea of reaching out.

He told Ya Rou this not because Principal Li was actually more skilled than him, but because of his trust in traditional Chinese medicine techniques for treating dislocations and other bone injuries.

Ya Rou watched with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism as her smiling uncle walked away. Yuan Yuan was also wheeled out of the clinic by two nurses to have X-rays taken.

A dozen minutes later, all of Yuan Yuan's examinations were completed. After confirming that the bones were not damaged, Principal Li immobilized Yuan Yuan's injured foot again, and the group prepared to leave.

Xie Xin, again, grabbed Old Li, who was about to leave with everyone, and without a word, unbuttoned his shirt, allowing Director Sun to examine him.

The bruised area was noticeably more swollen than before. After a careful examination, Director Sun diagnosed it as a muscle injury without bone damage. While treating Old Li's injury, he asked, "Old Li, didn't you go to the adult education office? Why are you back at the school teaching?" "

Work requires it." Principal Li couldn't figure out why himself, so he could only say this. "

Old Li, which school did you go to? Why were you assigned there?" "

Work requires it." Unable to think of any other reason, Principal Li still answered this. "

Can't you not go?" Why don't you just… The elegant ophthalmologist's agitation was nothing, but it was a hardship for Principal Li, who was receiving her treatment. When people get excited, their hands tend to press too hard, causing excruciating pain!

Perhaps realizing her agitation, or perhaps knowing she had hurt Principal Li, the ophthalmologist changed the subject: "Why hasn't Xiaozhu (Principal Li's daughter's nickname) come to see her mothers for so long? Has she forgotten even the mothers who breastfed her as she's grown up?"

Principal Li's first wife, Wei Hong, was a doctor at this hospital, as was his second wife, Ya Rong, though they were ten years apart. Wei Hong died in the line of duty, and Principal Li's young son was often cared for by Wei Hong's former colleagues. Ten years later, his son grew up, and Principal Li met his second wife, Ya Rong, at this hospital.

A year later, Ya Rong gave birth to their daughter, Xiaozhu. However, Ya Rong didn't have enough breast milk after giving birth, and several female doctors and nurses at the same hospital were also breastfeeding. So, it was her colleagues at the hospital who allowed Principal Li's daughter to grow up on their breast milk. Xiao Zhu has called these doctors and nurses, who raised her daughter on their breast milk, "Big Mom" and "Second Mom" since she was little. Principal Li hasn't forgotten this deep affection, and neither has Xiao Zhu. So, when Director Sun brought it up, Principal Li quickly explained.

Xiao Zhu is now attending the No. 3 boarding school in the city, taken by her aunt. This boarding school is really strict! As her father, I only see her a few days a year, let alone go anywhere else.

Principal Li's explanation seems quite reasonable, but Director Sun doesn't seem to think so. She said: "Don't children get holidays? Don't children have time to rest? Since she also has holidays and time to rest, why don't you, as her father, bring her to see her?" You, as a father, don't respect your child's mothers at all, and you're even pushing the blame onto them!

Let me tell you! Old Li, although Xiao Zhu hasn't visited her mothers, she calls them frequently. Do you know what she said? She said, "You, as a father, are so busy! So busy you can't spare a single moment!" She also said, "Since you're so busy, I'll call your mothers to say hello for you!" I'm telling you, Old Li! You…

"Alright, alright, Xiao Sun, don't make things difficult for Old Li. You know what the No. 33 Middle School is like. You see, even at a school like that, Old Li is exhausted and thin. He can't even take care of himself now, how can he have time to go out for a walk?"

A woman in her forties, dressed as a head nurse, not only interrupted Director Sun's attack on Principal Li but also took the opportunity to defend Old Li.

"Alright, alright, I was just trying to teach Old Li to have some conscience, to stop him from being so ungrateful and forgetting about you women! Sister Wei, I'm here standing up for you, and you're siding with this heartless bastard! No good deed goes unpunished!"

As if she'd suffered a great injustice, Director Sun loudly defended herself.

"Hehe... Little Sun, whether Old Li has a conscience or not, Xiao Zhu's mother and I know perfectly well! But you, Little Sun, urging Old Li to come here so much, you wouldn't happen to have some thoughts about him, would you?"

Sister Wei, with her full figure but not overweight, spoke in a way that, like her figure, was enough to make one's mind wander.

"Get lost! It's just you lot who not only became stepmothers to someone's daughter, but also keep eyeing her stepfather! I'm not trying to be mean, Sister Wei, but you truly are Xiaozhu's stepmother! You even know how heavy Xiaozhu's father's heart is! Hehe... Sister Wei, have you measured other parts of Xiaozhu's father too?!"

Who says a quiet, bespectacled person can't argue? Why don't you try arguing with this bespectacled, even more quiet Director Sun?

"Get lost, you little fox Sun! Nobody's stopping you from measuring any part of Old Li's body! Let me tell you! I'm Xiaozhu's stepmother! Not Old Li's stepmother! Get your facts straight!" Little

Sun might be vague, but Sister Wei was determined to make things clear. And now, everything's clear, isn't it?

"Haha... Sister Wei... after all that talking, you're still just Old Li's stepmother!"

Director Sun spoke the first half of his sentence with a loud laugh, but then lowered his voice, making sure everyone could hear him clearly, and turned to Old Li, saying, "Old Li, didn't you hear Sister Wei say that she doesn't just want to be your daughter's stepmother anymore? She wants to be your stepmother too! I think you should just accept Sister Wei as your stepmother, so she can breastfeed you too!"

"You liar, you talking nonsense!"

Sister Wei exclaimed in a huff. Director Sun tossed the order to Dr. Chu, who had been watching the two bickering with amusement, and said, "Go get Old Li his medicine from the pharmacy," before disappearing. "

Go get Old Li his medicine!" Suddenly, Dr. Chu, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared, strutting away with the prescription from Director Sun. Old Li, half-naked, was left in the clinic. Xie Xin and Yuan Yuan's group, who insisted on waiting until Old Li's injuries were completely healed, stared dumbfounded at this scene of a two-woman comedy routine.

Fortunately, although Sun Huli's barbed remarks had made Sister Wei somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, she wasn't annoyed with Old Li. Seeing the two doctors disappear without a trace, she took over and finished the rest of Old Li's work.

After helping him get dressed and reminding him of some precautions, while waiting for Dr. Chu to return with the medicine, Sister Wei softly asked Old Li, "Is your work going well? Is there a lot to do? You need to rest more and not overwork yourself!" In this

back-and-forth, Old Li didn't look like a patient at the hospital at all; he seemed to be chatting with family at home.

Dr. Chu, having brought Old Li the medicine, left without a word and walked away awkwardly. As Sister Wei saw Lao Li and the others off, she gave Xie Xin, who was beside Lao Li, more detailed instructions. The gist of it was that Lao Li, a grown man, would inevitably have moments when he couldn't take care of himself. Since Xie Xin was Lao Li's colleague and also trained with him on the team, she asked Xie Xin to help look after him. He was alone there too…

At the hospital entrance, Fei'er drove up in Tie Yi's car, who arrived in a hurry. After discussing it, it was decided that Yuan Yuan, who found it inconvenient to stay in the dormitory (mainly because no one was there to take care of her when everyone was training), would stay at Tie Yi's house, where Tie Yi's sister would temporarily look after her for a few days. The other girls, Ya Rou and the three teammates who came to No. 33 Middle School with her, would all stay in the school dormitory today.

Because it was supposed to be a closed training camp, Ya Rou hadn't stayed at the school dormitory for a single day after checking it out that day (since she could have someone with special connections relay messages to the school, anything could be arranged). She even dragged her three teammates who came with her away from the school dormitory. Now, a luxury car was being used to transport them, and even though there wasn't enough room for all the girls, they had to take taxis. However, Coach Li leaned against the car window where Ya Rou was sitting and said, "After you go back, you're not allowed to increase your practice on your own anymore. If you don't listen, you'll be punished by running hurdles!"

Running hurdles reminded Ya Rou of the burning basketball hitting her big butt, and her face flushed. She hummed in agreement, and the car carrying the girls drove away.

Coach Mi and Team Doctor Zhang, since they hadn't made any preparations for the dormitory, needed to go home to prepare before staying at the school the next day. Therefore, they also left in Coach Mi's Chery.

The rest... Yu Lian, who clung tightly to Lao Li's clothes as soon as they entered the hospital corridor, insisted on staying by Lao Li's side. Yuan Yuan also needed a teammate to help her, so Yu Lian, Xie Xin, Tie Yi, Fei Er, Yuan Yuan, and Lao Li also prepared to get in the car and leave.

The school van returned to the school after dropping off the students because there were still teachers in the city who needed to be dropped off. The hospital was about a 20-minute drive from Principal Li's home, so a reasonable arrangement had to be made when getting in the car to ensure that Yuan Yuan's injured foot would not suffer any further accidents.

Fei Er was driving, but the petite Tie Yi sat in the passenger seat without saying a word to anyone. There were four people in the back seat, and one of them was Yuan Yuan, who had to stretch out her legs! Lao Li was a little troubled, but none of the others thought that way. They all thought that once the injured Yuan Yuan was helped into the car, she could sit directly on Lao Li's lap, and then her stretched-out legs could rest on the legs of the other two people.

Most people's ideas, theoretically speaking, should be fine, but wouldn't it be a bit difficult to implement?

Regardless of the difficulty, despite his serious injuries and numerous obstacles, Old Li, burdened with a heavy task, still managed to put the women's ideas into practice.

Holding Yuan Yuan, Yu Lian, sitting next to her, immediately placed Yuan Yuan's injured leg on her lap upon getting into the car, and then carefully placed it on Xie Xin's lap, who had just sat down.

As the car started moving, Tie Yi and Fei'er didn't even glance back, while Xie Xin looked out the window as if no one was around. Yu Lian, who rarely stayed still for long, first quietly asked if Yuan Yuan's leg was still very painful, then leaned against Old Li's uninjured shoulder.

The silence hadn't lasted a minute before Yu Lian, leaning on Old Li's shoulder, thought of a topic and asked, "Dad, if Xiao Zhu knew I hurt you, do you think she'd blame me?"

"Xiao Zhu is a sensible child. You didn't do it on purpose, why would she blame you?"

It was rare to hear Yu Lian speak in such a tone, so Old Li couldn't help but try to reassure her in a lighthearted manner.

"Little Zhu, you really won't blame me?"

"No, Little Zhu really won't blame you."

"That's great! I'd love if Little Zhu wouldn't blame me! Dad, what does Little Zhu like to do?"

"Dad, why does Little Zhu have several mothers at the hospital? How many mothers does Little Zhu have in the hospital?"

"Dad, which of Little Zhu's four mothers is the best to her?"

"Dad, is the one Little Zhu's four mothers, the one Director Sun called Sister Wei, the one Little Zhu calls Second Aunt, the best to you?"

"Really? All four of Little Zhu's mothers are good to you! Do they often come to your house?" "

They come with their families! Don't they ever come to your house alone?"

"Yes! What do you do when they come to your house alone?"

"Dad, that Second Aunt, Sister Wei, is very pretty. Are Little Zhu's other three mothers pretty too?"

"Really! All four of them are so beautiful! When they're alone with you, do they ever lean on you like I do?"

"No? Dad, you're talking nonsense! I don't think I'm as pretty as Sister Wei from earlier, nor as kind to you. I even make you angry and hurt you sometimes, but when I want to lean on you, you don't even let me. Xiaozhu's four mothers are all so good to you. Would you refuse if they leaned on you like I do? Don't tell me they never wanted to lean on you!"

From the bickering between Director Sun and Sister Wei at the hospital, Old Li knew he needed to explain things to those around him about his daughter Xiaozhu's mothers. Moreover, he could sense from Sister Wei and Director Sun's argument that it had been a long time since he'd visited these four mothers who had been so kind to his daughter, but when he appeared before them, he was surrounded by such a large group of beautiful women. Although she hasn't had any inappropriate interactions with the four mothers her daughter has taken in over the years, as a sentimental woman, and as one of the four people her daughter and she are grateful to for a lifetime, she feels she should spend more time with them and not let the deep friendship they have built over the years gradually fade away.

Yu Lian went through a long and roundabout way to ask about Xiao Zhu's four mothers. Whether now or in the future, she wanted to tell everyone around her about her family matters. So, following the topics Yu Lian brought up, Lao Li gradually revealed what his family wanted to know, and what he wanted to tell them.

Yu Lian finished half of her story during the twenty-minute journey. For the remaining half, Lao Li told his family more detailed stories about his daughter Xiao Zhu's four mothers.

It's easy for anyone to imagine how difficult it is for a man to raise a son in high school and a daughter just beginning to speak. But four women remembered the little girl who took turns nursing in their arms. So, just like before, they took turns helping one man care for that little girl, watching her grow up until she was old enough to leave their arms.

These four women were all colleagues of Lao Li's second wife. Fate had taken Lao Li's wife, Ya Rong, away from him and their daughter, but fate had also given Lao Li's daughter four mothers who, though not his own, were like mothers to her. Lao Li and his daughter were always grateful to them, and they hoped that those around them would show them the same respect they deserved.

After Lao Li finished his rambling, Fei'er parked the car downstairs at Lao Li's dormitory. Without asking about the matter of sending Yuan Yuan to Tie Yi's house to be looked after by her sister, after Xie Xin and Yu Lian got out of the car with Tie Yi, Lao Li discreetly carried Yuan Yuan upstairs. The living room of the

dormitory had changed; the coffee table that used to be in the middle of the room had been replaced with a foldable one. The bedroom had also changed; the original bed was lower, replaced by a floor mattress that extended along the wall.

There was nothing that hadn't changed, but Old Li didn't have time to observe carefully, because everyone hadn't eaten yet, and he and Tie Yi had to cook dinner. However, Old Li was certain of one thing: behind these changes lay many things waiting to be discovered.

When tired, when in a bad mood, or even a change in the weather, people might feel the urge to have a drink. In Old Li's dorm, everyone except Old Li seemed to have a strong urge (even though they were all women).

Not to mention Xie Xin and Tie Yi, who had a high alcohol tolerance, or Fei'er, who loved red wine, even Yu Lian, a girl who shouldn't be drinking, shared half a glass of red wine with Xie Xin.

Yuan Yuan couldn't drink because of her foot injury, and... well, hehe, he forgot that Old Li was also injured, so he couldn't drink either.

Yuan Yuan substituted tea for wine, Yu Lian held up half a glass of red wine, and Fei'er and Yu Lian called each other "sister," which was their formal introduction. Several women chatted and laughed, politely sipping their wine or tea, occasionally calling out to Old Li to move the dishes a little further away; otherwise, he seemed to have nothing else to do.

Clearing the dishes and washing the utensils was done by Xie Xin and Yu Lian, who was visiting for the first time. Tie Yi and Fei'er asked Old Li if Yuanyuan could take a shower, then grabbed their towels and went to shower first.

For Old Li, cigarettes were something he could smoke or not, but suddenly he really wanted one. So, Old Li took a cigarette from the cupboard and lit it, when Yuanyuan, who wasn't far from him, rushed to snatch it.

Yuanyuan's leg injury made it difficult for her to move, so not only did she fail to grab the cigarette from Old Li, she also nearly fell off the sofa with a cry.

Startled and sweating profusely, Old Li quickly steadied her and forcefully stubbed out the cigarette. Seeing Yuanyuan nestled comfortably in his arms so obediently (it seemed Yuanyuan hadn't said anything, but that's how Old Li should think), Old Li gently asked if her foot injury still hurt.

Old Li's gentle concern prompted Yuanyuan to tell him her foot wasn't hurting much anymore, and she shifted her body, wrapping her arms around his neck. Their eyes slowly met, filled with tenderness, and knowing smiles graced their lips.

Without a word, their faces drew closer, and without needing to express themselves, their lips gently touched.

A lover's kiss, after the initial awkwardness, naturally becomes more refined without much practice. As their tongues intertwined, the experienced kiss of lovers made the two on the sofa completely immersed in its bliss.

"Dad, I want you to touch me!"

"Good Yuanyuan, your foot is injured. If Dad touches you, your foot will hurt."

"Dad! It's my foot that's injured, not here...here. You're touching here, how can my foot hurt!"

"Dad—just touch me! Dad..."

Old Mu was getting closer to the moderator's censored bamboo stick, so he decided to shrink back a little. Below...but there's more! Because Old Mu didn't plan to work in the palace, a thousand or two words were omitted.

In the morning, besides Yu Lian who went with Old Li, only Yuanyuan, sitting on the floor, kept cursing Old Li, calling him an "old beast"!

Well, the advantages of a floor mattress are that it's big, and you can move around on it without fear of falling. However, it's understandable that you, Lao Li, spent most of the night messing around with four women. But when it got light, you had nothing to do and instead of sleeping, you took three of those four women down and messed with them again. You really can't blame anyone for calling you an old beast!
