She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 12: Chapter 012 Discharged at the Same Time

The person speaking and Lu Xiaoshuang both came from the city, and the two were closer than the others. Hearing her say that, the anger in Lu Xiaoshuangʼs heart gradually subsided. She understood in her heart that Qin Cuifang was not as easy to deal with as Sheng Ning, the idiot. She needed to be more careful.

”Cough, cough... I came to see you. I want to know how you feel having harmed everyone,” Lu Xiaoshuang said sharply, still feeling unhappy.

”Sister Xiao Shuang, itʼs not my fault; it was Sheng Ning...” Qin Cuifang looked aggrieved, speaking in a hesitant manner. But her meaning was clear—the real culprit was Sheng Ning. ”Iʼm also a victim. I wish I were dead.”

”Qin Cuifen, we donʼt like hearing that,” someone said disdainfully, unable to stand Qin Cuifenʼs two-faced behavior. ”You kept saying you and Sheng Ning were good friends, and you asked us to take care of her. Is this how you treat a good friend? We just came from Sheng Ningʼs room, and she didnʼt act like you.”

Qin Cuifen nearly ground her teeth to pieces. How had Sheng Ning, that little tramp, changed so much?

”Alright, letʼs allow her to recuperate here. Weʼre leaving this afternoon anyway, and sheʼll stay here alone,” Lu Xiaoshuang said and was about to walk away. Qin Cuifen suddenly lunged from the bed, grabbing her and pleading bitterly, ”Sister Xiao Shuang, Iʼm sorry. I didnʼt want things to be this way. I really am innocent. Please donʼt be angry. Iʼll do anything you want.”

”You wish. Youʼve ruined us all, and now weʼre too ashamed to say weʼre from the General Union Dance Troupe.”

Lu Xiaoshuang, showing disgust, tried to shake off Qin Cuifenʼs grasp, but her movements were too large. Unexpectedly, a slap landed on Qin Cuifen. The loud smack shocked everyone in the room; Qin Cuifen held her burning right cheek, pitifully saying, ”Iʼm sorry, Sister Xiao Shuang. Itʼs all my fault.”

”Why didnʼt you dodge?” Lu Xiaoshuang looked at her hand in confusion, not expecting to slap Qin Cuifen.

She had deliberately moved forward, so how could she dodge? ”Sister Xiao Shuang, I donʼt blame you. Itʼs my fault for implicating everyone. Iʼll do anything to calm everyone down.”

”Alright, alright, stop pretending. Iʼm getting annoyed just looking at you,” Lu Xiaoshuang said, though she didnʼt continue to mock her. ”The union asked us to check on you. When can you be discharged? If you can leave, come back with us.”

”I can leave now.”

A large group came bustling in and left bustling out. Feeling guilty about hitting Qin Cuifen, Lu Xiaoshuang busily helped her with the discharge procedures and had teammates support her. What was initially an inspection turned into an escort for a discharged patient.

Lu Xiaoshuangʼs expression remained sour the entire way.

Sheng Ningʼs foot injury, confirmed to have no other issues, also led to her discharge. Zhang Hongmei, afraid they would argue, didnʼt take the unionʼs car. The two waited for a vehicle at the hospital entrance. Cars from the General Union passed frequently, and the two, having little money, hoped to catch a Song and Dance Troupe vehicle.

”Sheng Ning, why donʼt you sit?” Zhang Hongmei asked dumbly, seeing her face reddened under the blazing sun.

”No need, I can stand,” Sheng Ning shook her head, leaning on crutches. She had a bone fracture that hurt initially but felt much better now. The detailed plaster cast was primarily due to her being a dancer. It was crucial that her foot didnʼt suffer any lasting damage.
