Chapter 627: Chapter 652: Mr. Chen, I Love You

Hai Lan’s condition was much more serious, with a fracture and possible lasting damage to her ankle that might prevent her from dancing ever again. When Lu Dabao was discharged from the hospital, Sheng Ning and Wu Youli were bustling about, and she just happened to overhear the nurses’ conversation.

“Wait a moment!” Sheng Ning helped Lu Dabao sit down on a chair in the hallway, then walked over to the nurses’ station and asked with a smile, “Hello, I would like to ask about Hai Lan from our General Union Dance Troupe, how is her injury?”

The nurses, interrupted midway through their conversation, were a bit displeased. But when they turned around and saw Sheng Ning, their eyes lit up.

“Are you from the General Union?”

“Really! Oh my! You’re even prettier in person than in the newspapers.”

The nurses stopped their conversation and surrounded Sheng Ning with amazement, causing her to feel a bit embarrassed.

“Which dancing comrade are you talking about?” An older nurse pushed through the crowd to ask kindly.

“Yes!” Sheng Ning quickly nodded, “She’s in the same troupe as me, so I wanted to ask about her condition?”

Upon asking, the older nurse’s face – originally filled with smiles – suddenly took on an imperceptible gravity. She was clearly a veteran, not yet a head nurse, but still very authoritative among the others.

“Alright, all of you get back to work and don’t block the way here.” She dispersed the crowd before turning to Sheng Ning, “Her condition is quite serious.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning felt her heart skip a beat and she immediately became tense. “Impossible, Lu Dabao was admitted to the hospital with her, and she’s been discharged. How could Hai Lan’s condition be worse?”

It absolutely couldn’t be, even though Yang Wenying was known for her temper, she wouldn’t be so out of line. If she personally made a move, the injury would only be lighter than Dabao’s, not worse.

“Do you think I’m lying to you? Our Dean personally looked after her – she’s the precious daughter of the Hai Family, who would dare not take it seriously?” The nurse said impatiently, “I’m busy, if you’re getting discharged, don’t get in the way here, hurry on!”

Sheng Ning returned to Dabao’s side from the nurse’s station, pondering the whole way, feeling more and more that it was impossible. Ah! If only Liu Yilan or Chen Huaying were here, they’re full of ideas and could definitely offer more sensible advice.

“What are you thinking about? Not going to discharge me?” Lu Dabao, with one leg in a sling, stood awkwardly and urged.

“Oh… I understand now!” Sheng Ning didn’t dare delay any longer, deciding to first take Dabao back to rest. As for where the problem lay, she would have to come back and investigate further.

At National Security University, the basketball court was surrounded by a crowd of people during the class break, with cheers rising and mostly from female students. Female students were already a minority at National Security University, especially in such key disciplines, with a severe imbalance between the genders.

The large gathering of female students at the basketball court demonstrated just how popular the person playing was.

“Come on! Come on…”

“Mr. Chen, I love you!”

“Come on, come on, Mr. Chen, come on!”

Hai Shen emerged from the Research Institute and instead of going directly to the General Union, he headed to National Security University. His uncle had tasked him with handling Hai Lan’s situation, and he decided to involve Su Huai’an.

After all, Lu Dabao was his cousin’s good friend. Su Huai’an acted completely different from his usual self in anything involving Sheng Ning. This was the perfect opportunity for him to enjoy the spectacle.

As he went to find Su Huai’an, passing by the basketball court, the bustling crowd made it impossible to see who was playing, but hearing the name “Mr. Chen,” he felt immediately surprised.
