"I'm fine," Xu Wennuan replied with her back to Guoguo. Her voice was clearly choked up.
When the elevator doors opened, Xu Wennuan turned her head and glanced at Lu Bancheng's apartment door. Even after her fall, he still sat motionless on the sofa and showed no signs of wanting to get up to ask her what had happened.
Xu Wennuan's eyes began to sting even more. Afraid that she would lose control and cry, she quickly dashed into the elevator and pressed the close button.
…
Guoguo waited until the elevator descended before she turned around and returned to Lu Bancheng's apartment. She closed the door and took a few steps into the living room before her gaze landed on Lu Bancheng.
He looked very calm, but his hands were gripping the blanket so tightly that it was crumpled into a ball.
Guoguo could not bear to see him like that, so she shifted her gaze to the floor lamp and said softly, "She seemed to have fallen pretty badly. She must have sprained her ankle, and it looks like she's struggling to walk."
Lu Bancheng did not speak, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
After hesitating for a moment, Guoguo said softly, "When she spoke to me, her voice trembled so much that she must have been crying."
Lu Bancheng remained silent, but from the corner of her eye, Guoguo could clearly see that his hands, which were gripping the blanket tightly, were beginning to tremble.
Guoguo moved her lips, but eventually, she sighed softly and turned to walk into the dining room to get some medicine for Lu Bancheng.
She had just opened the medicine box and was about to take it when she heard a loud thud.
Guoguo was stunned for a moment, but then, as if she had guessed something, she hurriedly put the medicine down and ran out of the dining room. Lu Bancheng, who had been sitting on the sofa, was nowhere to be seen. She hurriedly ran to the sofa and saw Lu Bancheng lying on the floor. She called out worriedly, "Brother Bancheng," but before she could rush forward to help him up, he had already propped himself up with his arms and was struggling to crawl toward the French windows.
"Brother Bancheng, what are you doing? What do you want? You can tell me! " Guoguo squatted down and tried to pull Lu Bancheng's arm, but he shook her off forcefully, causing her to almost fall to the floor.
"Brother Bancheng!" Guoguo was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. She moved closer to Lu Bancheng's side and was just about to help him up when Lu Bancheng, who had crawled to the floor-to-ceiling window and was staring out the window, suddenly trembled and stopped moving.
Stunned, Guoguo followed his line of sight and looked down the stairs. She saw Xu Wennuan squatting by the street lamp with her head buried in her knees.
Due to the height of the building, it was impossible to see if her shoulders were shaking, but it was obvious that she was crying.
Guoguo withdrew her hand from Lu Bancheng. After a while, she looked at Lu Bancheng's face.
The man's gentle eyes were filled with pain and loneliness. He was clearly extremely sad, but he stared at the girl downstairs and laughed softly. "I wanted to send her off, but I couldn't stand up. She fell down and sprained her ankle. I couldn't even help her up. She's crying so sadly now, and all I can do is watch her …"
"Ha …" At the end of his sentence, Lu Bancheng chuckled softly, but to Guoguo's ears, it sounded more like a sad cry.
Guoguo's eyes reddened. "Brother Bancheng, I'll help you go down and check on her …"
"There's no need." Before Guoguo could get up, Lu Bancheng interrupted her. "Go get my phone."
