Xie Li Was About to Fall Apart Again

Xie Li dropped to both knees, tears of pain bursting from his eyes.

But he hurriedly struggled to his feet and went toward Song Qianshan. "Sister Shanshan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I lost my footing just now. Are you okay?"

Song Qianshan looked at him coldly without saying anything, then silently got up from the ground herself.

The staff nearby also gathered around. "Teacher Song, are you all right?"

Song Qianshan shook her head. "It's not too bad. I just hit my knee when I fell."

[Who is Song Qianshan pulling that long face for!]

[Xie Li is already crying from the pain, and the skin on his knee is scraped raw. The first thing he did after getting up was check on Song Qianshan, yet she acts like he owes her two million! Bitch!]

[Can Song Qianshan get the hell off this show?]

[She was talking to Lu Xingchuan all sarcastically yesterday too.]

[No need to defend Lu Xingchuan. Isn't the cheating scumbag thing already confirmed?]

Song Qianshan's cold attitude toward Xie Li immediately set Xie Li's fans off.

Xie Li could practically picture the bloody storm raging online.

He suppressed his delight.

He had fallen on purpose.

Just now, everyone's attention had been on Shen Yan. Not only had that incident failed to completely ruin Shen Yan and drive him off the show, it had instead gotten Lu Xingchuan cursed at and made Shen Yan the center of attention.

He had to do something quickly and shift everyone's attention onto himself.

Xie Li pouted, guilt written all over his face as tears continued to fall. "Is Sister Shanshan angry with me? I really didn't mean to. I just lost my footing for a second and accidentally knocked you down. Did you get hurt badly? Should we have the staff check you over?"

"Oh, Xie Li, your knee is scraped!" As Xie Li apologized to Song Qianshan, a staff member suddenly shouted.

Hearing that, Lu Xingchuan immediately set Shen Yan down and strode over to Xie Li.

"How is it?"

Xie Li was wearing athletic shorts, his fair legs exposed. The knee that had hit the ground when he fell was smeared with dust, making the injury especially obvious.

Several spots had been scraped raw.

Xie Li looked like he was gritting his teeth through it. "I'm really fine, Brother Xingchuan. Don't worry about me. Don't hold everyone up from playing the game. This little injury is nothing."

"You should let Lu Xingchuan hurry up and fuss over you. If he doesn't, the wound will heal," Shen Yan said coldly from beside Song Qianshan.

Lu Xingchuan's expression instantly darkened as he looked over at him.

Xie Li looked utterly aggrieved. "I'm really fine, Brother Xingchuan. Don't hold everyone up and make Shen Yan unhappy."

[Fuck, I'm so mad I could die!]

[Why does Xiao Li have to suffer everywhere!]

[Who the hell does Shen Yan think he is? Xiao Li wasn't the one who leaked his dirt! Why the fuck is he taking digs at Xiao Li? I hate him!]

[Shen Yan really is awful. I hope he gets hit by a car the moment he steps outside!]

"Shen Yan, don't be angry. Let's hurry up and start the game."

Xie Li pushed Lu Xingchuan away, then pretended to lose his balance again and swayed before painfully forcing himself to stand straight, looking as if he were bravely enduring it all.

He even smiled at Song Qianshan.

"Sister Shanshan, I definitely won't knock you down this time. Come on, let's fight for first place!"

Tear tracks still marked his face, making him seem fragile yet strong.

[Xie Li is the best, and I won't accept any objections!]

[Are you all blind if you can't see how wonderful Xie Li is? I'm so mad, ahhh, I'm furious!]

[Oh my god, my heart hurts for him.]

Xie Li's fans flooded the screen with sympathy for him.

Shen Yan did not remember this scene from the original novel, but he had clearly seen how Song Qianshan fell just now.

Song Qianshan's knee had struck the stones on the ground.

Even though Song Qianshan was wearing long pants, those stones were quite sharp. There was no way she had not been injured.

Shen Yan could not stand seeing a bitch put on airs.

"I think Sister Shanshan took quite a hard fall too. Should we check her knee?" Shen Yan asked Song Qianshan with concern.

Song Qianshan froze for a moment and looked up at Shen Yan.

After getting up, she had sat down on a chair nearby. Shen Yan walked over, crouched in front of her, and said, "Your pants are torn. I don't know whether your knee is scraped too, so we should check."

Bai Jing had not noticed that Song Qianshan's pants were torn.

When Shen Yan pointed it out, Bai Jing immediately stepped forward, crouched down, and rolled up Song Qianshan's pant leg.

Song Qianshan instinctively tried to avoid her.

But Bai Jing moved quickly. Before Song Qianshan could stop her, Bai Jing had yanked up her loose pant leg, exposing her fair calf and a bloody, mangled knee.

"Oh my god!" Bai Jing gasped sharply. "Sister Shanshan!"

She looked at Song Qianshan in disbelief.

The tension in Song Qianshan's eyes vanished at once. She discreetly let out a breath, pressed her lips together, and smiled. "It doesn't hurt that much."

"And you call this not painful? Xie Li only scraped a little skin and he cried nonstop, saying he couldn't stand steadily. You're hurt like this, and your blood has even soaked into your pants!" Bai Jing frowned and glared at her in distress.

Xie Li immediately fell apart beside them.

[Why aren't Xie Li's fans spamming sympathy anymore? A grown man scraped his knee a little and cried endlessly, while Song Qianshan was knocked down this badly by him, yet you still blame her for not being nice to Xie Li?]

[Xie Li is such a scheming little green tea and fake innocent. Can anyone seriously not see it?]

[Xiao Li didn't do it on purpose. The first thing he did after getting up was check on Song Qianshan.]

[Was that concern for Song Qianshan? He was showing off his wounded-but-strong persona.]

[He knocked someone down because he was incompetent. Isn't checking on them the bare minimum? Is that worth praising? Is there really not a single redeeming quality left in Xie Li? Are you going to praise him next for being able to walk on two legs?]

Song Qianshan had a huge fanbase, and in no time at all, they tore Xie Li's fans to shreds.

The director only felt that nothing had gone right since he left the house today.

It had to be because he had accidentally farted while offering incense at the temple a few days ago.

Otherwise, how had such a nice, simple, gentle game turned into this?

Since Song Qianshan was injured, her team with Xie Li temporarily withdrew from the game. To keep them involved, they would instead place bets on the other teams.

While the staff treated Song Qianshan's injury, the director announced the rules. "The two remaining teams will compete shortly. Song Qianshan and Xie Li will each choose a team to support. If the team they support wins, the supporter will enjoy the winners' benefits as well and receive a full breakfast.

"If their chosen team loses, they will lose their entire breakfast and can only wash dishes with them."

With two teams competing, second place was eliminated. There would now be only first place and last place.

"I choose Shen Yan. I'll always believe in Shen Yan!" The moment the director finished speaking, Xie Li immediately said.

Song Qianshan sat in her chair and smiled calmly. "Then I choose Bai Jing and President Pei."

The game finally began!
