Novel Full 178 Miss Sunshine {Eight}
The fall didn’t injure An Xiulan’s face but her nose had been bleeding nonstop. Currently, she was lying in her room with tissue papers stuck under her nose. Her dress had been ruined by the blood dripping from her face.
Nobody dared to leave the room. When An Xiulan fell in the changing room, Jiang Yao and Twinkle quickly brought her to the room. And all the girls that were present there followed them.
After fifteen minutes, her nose finally stopped bleeding and so she was lying on the bed now with two high pillows stuck under her neck.
“Xiulan, I am really sorry, “Jiang Yao said as she was sitting on the side of the bed. “If I hadn’t gotten involved with such a stupid fight, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”
Jiang Yao believed that she was the reason why An Xiulan was hurt. If she wasn’t speaking so loudly, this girl wouldn’t have gotten startled and fallen on the hard floor.
Since An Xiulan was told to not make any movement, she just blinked her eyes. She wanted to tell Jiang Yao that it wasn’t her fault as she clearly recalled someone putting a leg in her way that made her fall to the ground. She was sabotaged but she did not tell anyone because she had no evidence to support her claim and if she still insisted on saying that she was sabotaged, these people would say that she was making a mountain out of the molehill. Moreover, she didn’t want attention.
Ji Mao’er could have saved her from the fall but she didn’t. However, An Xiulan didn’t blame Ji Mao’er as she believed that it wasn’t someone else’s duty to save her. If she couldn’t protect herself from getting hurt, how could she blame others for not saving her? After all, nobody was responsible for everyone else’s well-being..
The door to the room opened and Madam Li entered the room with another woman walking behind her. An Xiulan’s eyes widened when she saw her mother with Madam Li. She couldn’t help but feel guilty. She had promised her mom that she wouldn’t get hurt or sick but here she was lying on the bed like a patient.
Sometimes, she wondered if she had broken the Guinness world records by falling sick again and again.
When the other girls saw Madam Li, they went back to their rooms in order to not experience the woman’s wrath for the commotion they had created. Everyone was feeling guilty in their hearts and so they left the room when Madam Li looked at each of them with sharp eyes.
“How are you, baby girl?” An Qinyan asked as she saw her daughter silently lying on the bed. “Are you in pain? Do you want to go home?”
An Xiulan caught her mom’s hand causing her to fall silent.
An Qinyan looked at everyone present in the room and asked, “Would you please give us a little privacy?”
Madam Li nodded with a smile and left the room with Twinkle and Jiang Yao who wanted to stay.
“Mom, I am fine, “An Xiulan said with a smile. Even her smile looked too ugly at this moment. “Just my nose bleeding nonstop.”
An Qinyan couldn’t convince herself that her daughter was really fine. Nobody knew what was going on in her heart at this time. She took a wet wipe from the packet and wiped her daughter’s face that was smeared with a little blood.
“Did I worry you again?” An Xiulan asked, feeling guilty.
“You did not, “An Qinyan said immediately. “How did you get hurt?”
“My feet twisted and I fell on my nose, “An Xiulan lied without batting an eye. “It seems like I’m still not used to high heels. Mom, did you come alone?”
“No, “An Qinyan said while shaking her head. “Ah Xuan came with me.”
“Oh, “An Xiulan fell silent. “Where is he?”
Shouldn’t he come to see his sick sister?
“He is downstairs, “An Qinyan said with a smile. “Don’t tell anyone but I think he got shy seeing beautiful girls everywhere.”
An Xiulan giggled as she put her hand on her mouth. “Are those girls more beautiful than me, his only and only beauty queen sister?”
“Look at the little narcissistic, “An Qinyan pinched her cheek lovingly. “It’s good that you are fine. I don’t feel like leaving you alone here. Do you need anything?”
“Mom, “An Xiulan said in a sad voice. “I spoiled the dress of the management. We were supposed to return the dress but now it’s filled with my blood.”
“Don’t worry about the dress, “An Qinyan said with a sigh. “Isn’t it one dress? I can return hundreds like this one to them. You don’t have to worry about it. And why are you still in same dress? Shouldn’t you change into clean clothes?”
“I was shy with others helping me with the bath, “An Xiulan said with red cheeks.
“Alright, let mom help you with a cold bath, “An Qinyan said with a helpless smile.
“No!” An Xiulan said. Her eyes widened as she imagined herself shuddering under cold water. There was no way she was going to bathe with cold water. Not in this lifetime.
“I am not touching cold water, “She replied in horror.
“It’s summer, my baby, “An Qinyan stressed. How could someone still insist on bathing with warm water in June? No, it didn’t make sense to her.
“I don’t care. No cold water, “An Xiulan was adamant. She would rather die than bathe with cold water. Cold water is a big no!
“If you bathe with warm water, your nose might start bleeding, “An Qinyan sighed. “When Ah Xuan’s nose bleeds due to the hot climate, he always gets better when he rubs some ice on his head or pour cold water on his head. That’s why I’m telling you take a cold bath or a shower.”
“I’m scared of the cold water, mom, “An Xiulan murmured.
“I’m with you. Nothing will happen, “An Qinyan answered with utmost confidence. “If you want to participate in the contest, you have to be well or you might be disqualified. Do you want this to happen?”
An Xiulan pursed her lips but her mom had closed the case with this argument.
