I Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Real Rich Daughter's Pampered Cousin Chapter 42 - Discovery

Chapter 42: Discovery
The soreness in his shoulders and the numbing pain in his arms distracted Zhai Jing from Fu Sui’s miserable state. Seeing that he was about to speak, he said,
“If you have time to be afraid, why don’t you shout for help?”
Fortunately, the commotion from their end was too loud and attracted the attention of the staff. Very soon, someone came to pull them up.
The two of them were pulled up and they were both panting.
Zhai Jing took a few deep breaths and calmed himself. He rubbed his almost dislocated hand and picked up the phone that was thrown on the ground earlier. The screen was already broken. Thinking about the “three minutes” time limit that Le Wan had given him, he supported himself with the wall and stood up. Then, he went downstairs and left.
Still in shock, Fu Sui looked from behind and called out to him,
“Hey! Why did you save me just now?”
He already knew that he had snatched the championship and the 30,000 Yuan that was very important to him. He even mocked him publicly. Zhai Jing should have hated him very much in his heart, but he still took action to stop him.
Zhai Jing stopped in his tracks. The screw in his pocket was so small, but it hurt badly. It felt like it was burning and could burn his thigh even through the fabric. He pursed his lips and went downstairs in a hurry without saying anything.
However, it was particularly because of his silence that Fu Sui felt even more puzzled. His face flickered between dark and bright. While the staff members were confused, he cursed in a low voice,
“Hmph, why are you pretending to be a good person!”
Zhai Jing didn’t know what Fu Sui was thinking. He rushed back to the competition venue within three minutes. He didn’t expect to see Le Wan rushing out as soon as he entered the door. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw him.
“Eh, you’re finally willing to come back?” Le Wan’s gaze swept across him. Her sharp eyes caught sight of his slightly messy hair, the dirty marks on his pure white school uniform, and the blood stains on his arm. She stopped in her tracks and looked at him in surprise.
“What were you doing?”
Zhai Jing felt embarrassed. He did not want Le Wan to notice his despicable thoughts and actions, so he subconsciously hid his arms behind his back to avoid her line of sight.
“There was a small accident,” he said vaguely.
When Le Wan saw Fu Sui’s figure from the corner of her eyes, she felt relieved and thought that nothing serious had happened.
“Fine, if you say it was an accident, then it was an accident.”
Le Wan did not ask further. She checked the wound on his hand. Fortunately, it was not serious, but it still needed to be treated. So, she took out a pack of tissues and a spare band-aid from her bag and pushed him into the bathroom.
“You still have to go up and receive the award later. You should clean yourself up first. Otherwise, if you go up on stage like this and the reporters take pictures of you and spread it, it will become a dark history that you can’t get rid of for the rest of your life. When you go out, don’t tell anyone that you know me. I can’t afford to lose this face.”
Zhai Jing’s face was expressionless and he did not say a word. He obediently let her do what she wanted and went into the bathroom.
Suddenly, there was a vibration in her hand. Le Wan looked down and realized that it was Zhai Jing’s mobile phone. She had taken it when she was checking his wound and it was still in her hand.
Half of the phone screen was broken, and Le Wan could not see the words on it clearly, so she did not know who was calling. Seeing that it was not her phone, it would be rude if she answered the call. Unexpectedly, the vibration started again after two seconds, showing the urgency of the person on the other side of the conversation.
“Did something happen?” Seeing that Zhai Jing would not come out so soon, Le Wan hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
“Where are you now?” As soon as Le Wan answered the call, a female voice came from the other side, urging him to hurry up.
Zhai Jing was still concerned about his mother who was in the emergency room, so he did not have much patience to clean himself up. He only washed his wound with water and applied the band-aid that Le Wan had given him. He patted the dust off his body and smoothened his hair. When he came out, he saw Le Wan hanging up the phone and the phone in her hand was obviously his.
Zhai Jing stopped in his tracks when Le Wan looked over. She touched her nose and said apologetically,
“I’m sorry. It kept ringing, so I picked it up. It’s from the hospital.”
Zhai Jing shook his head to show that he did not mind. He took the phone and asked,
“What did Sis Wu say?”
Le Wan looked at him cautiously.
“Sis Wu said that her condition has stabilized for the time being. She asked you not to be so anxious.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhai Jing’s expression did not change, but Le Wan could clearly feel that his tensed body had relaxed a little. When she thought of what Sis Wu had actually said on the phone earlier, Le Wan’s heart sank.
