Qi Yuan and the others quickly found Yuan Xiao and helped her send the injured Pan Ning to the nearest hospital.
âSenior Qi, Iâve really troubled you today. I can handle the rest alone. Wang Xin will stay behind to accompany me,â Yuan Xiao said to Qi Yuan in embarrassment.
If not for Qi Yuanâs help today, she would not have been able to bring Pan Ning down from the mountain.
âAlright, Iâll go back first. Call me if thereâs anything.â The other members of the photography club had already returned to school. Due to an unexpected situation, todayâs activities had stopped.
After Qi Yuan left the hospital, Yuan Xiao went to the doctor to ask about Pan Ningâs condition. After confirming that Pan Ning only had a sprained ankle, she finally felt relieved.
Yuan Xiao first paid for Pan Ningâs medical fees. When she returned to the ward, she saw Pan Ning lying on the bed and Wang Xin, who was beside her with a worried expression.
âPan Ning, should we inform Uncle and Auntie?â Wang Xin, who was sitting beside the bed, looked at Pan Ningâs pale face and asked worriedly.
When Pan Ning heard Wang Xinâs words, she shook her head gently and did not speak.
âPan Ning, did you quarrel with your parents?â Yuan Xiao did not deliberately avoid the question. If Pan Ning was really angry with her parents and ran out on her own, her parents must be very worried now. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThey want me to repeat my studies.â Pan Ningâs eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked. âI didnât listen to their opinion when I applied. This is the first time Iâve made a decision for myself since I was young.â
âBut I didnât expect that after they found out, they didnât try to believe in me. Instead, they directly asked me to give up on reporting to university and take the exam for another year.â
Hearing Pan Ningâs words, Wang Xin could not understand what her parents were thinking. University A was clearly the best school that many students could not compare to, but Pan Ning, who was already outstanding enough, could not gain their recognition.
âSo you sneaked out on your own?â Yuan Xiao frowned slightly.
If not for the system mission, she would not have run to that mountain. If that was the case, Pan Ning would be in danger.
âYes, I originally wanted to go to University A to take a look, but my mother hid the acceptance letter. I still canât report to school.â
Pan Ning wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Actually, sneaking over to University A was already the most out of line thing she had done since she was young.
âPan Ning, I can understand how you feel, but itâs not rational to sneak out like this.â Yuan Xiao saw that Pan Ning lowered her head and did not speak. She knew that she was feeling very uncomfortable.
âYour cell phone is broken. Do you remember your parentsâ phone number?â
Yuan Xiao was already very anxious when she could not contact Pan Ning. If Pan Nings parents found out that she had run away from home and could not contact her, they would definitely be especially anxious.
âI remember.â Pan Ning looked at Yuan Xiao with tears in her eyes and asked weakly, âXiao Xiao, I donât know how to face them. Can I wait till later to call them?â
âGive me the number and Iâll help you say it.â Yuan Xiao took out her phone and comforted Pan Ning. âDonât worry, Iâll think of a way to help you convince them.â
âConvince them to let me study biology at University A?â Pan Ningâs eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Yuan Xiaoâs words. However, she immediately said with a difficult expression, âTheyâre not that easy to communicate with. Xiao Xiao, you donât know, but my parents are really very domineering.â
âIt doesnât matter. I want to try. Are you willing to believe me?â Yuan Xiao looked at Pan Ning firmly. If she ignored Pan Ningâs matter, Pan Ningâs relationship with her parents would only worsen in the future.
âOkay.â Pan Ning told Yuan Xiao her motherâs phone number. As she watched her walk out of the ward with her phone, she became nervous.
âPan Ning, donât worry. Xiao Xiao will definitely be able to handle it.â Wang Xin held Pan Ningâs hand on the bed, wanting to make her feel better.
âI believe her.â Pan Ning finally revealed a faint smile. âXiao Xiao is a very powerful girl. From the first time I saw her, I felt that she had a very unique charisma.â
âOptimistic and brave. Xiao Xiao is most mentally strong girl Iâve ever seen.â Although Pan Ning and Yuan Xiao had not known each other for so long, she could still feel her endless energy from Yuan Xiao..
