Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 76: I will make you regret it!

Noon, twelve o'clock.

It was time for class to end, for lunch, and for a nap.

During the last class, Gu Kexin's mind and body were not in the classroom. Not only her, but most of the girls in the class were absent-minded.

Not for any other reason, but for Li Mubai.

Everyone had been exposed to music since childhood, and for the past few years in college, they had been immersed in it.

Last night, everyone understood Li Mubai's song.

In over three years of college, all the messages were easily deciphered. It was clear that Li Mubai had always been the one making efforts, and he had even been abandoned by the other party.

Li Mubai was recognized and accepted by everyone, which naturally made Gu Kexin happy.

But in the third class, sudden rumors spread.

Li Mubai committed suicide!

It was because of love. Someone had seen Li Mubai in a state of despair, being carried down from the dormitory building by an unbelievably beautiful woman, followed by another equally stunning woman.

The most important thing was that these two women drove two cars into the school, a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley...

There were other versions, but they were not much different because the original description was too detailed.

But because the description was too detailed, it was impossible not to believe it.

As a result, in the fourth class, Gu Kexin was in a daze, holding her phone and staring blankly, feeling a pain in her chest.

As soon as the bell rang, she rushed out.

She ran to the male dormitory building, but was stopped by the dormitory supervisor at the entrance.

"You can't go in."

Seeing Gu Kexin on the verge of tears, the dormitory supervisor finally sighed and told her that it was true, that indeed a male classmate had been carried down, and that the boy was incredibly handsome, but from the looks of it... he was in a bad state.

Like a bolt from the blue, she stood there feeling like her world had turned dark.

How could this be...

They had agreed that when she became successful, she would buy the biggest house, drive the most luxurious car, and marry him.

Why did it turn out like this?

In a daze, she went to the school gate, but she stood there foolishly, not knowing where to find Li Mubai.

Thinking of taking out her phone to try calling Li Mubai, she realized that she had forgotten her phone in the drawer of Classroom 523.

Walking aimlessly in the corridor, Gu Kexin lifted her lifeless eyes and saw a figure standing at the entrance of their classroom, peering inside as if looking for something.

She was about to bypass her and enter the classroom directly when a faint glimmer appeared in Gu Kexin's eyes.

It was the girl who conducted last night.

The reason why she remembered her so deeply was because this girl had held hands with Li Mubai on stage.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, Gu Kexin knew very well that this girl was even more outstanding than her... and not just a little bit.

To become a conductor, one must first have extensive knowledge of music history, instrument techniques, and study the life experiences and thoughts of composers to understand the creative background of their works.

Then, one must have complete control over the phrasing and balance of the music, mastering it completely.

Furthermore, one must have incredibly sensitive ears to distinguish every instrument in the orchestra during performances.

Lastly, a conductor must use their entire body to fully express the passion of the music through their physical gestures, thereby driving the entire orchestra.

Although there were many geniuses at the Nine Provinces Art Academy, those with the potential to be a conductor were extremely rare.

But this girl was one of them.

Last night, Gu Kexin was extremely envious of this girl, but unfortunately, she was not the one standing beside Li Mubai.

She felt utterly useless.

Not to mention standing beside Li Mubai, she didn't even deserve to stand behind him!

There is absolutely no one who understands Li Mubai's live version of "天后" better than her.

Because she does.

Last night, I listened all night, my tears dried up, and in the end, I didn't know if I was awake or asleep...

She wants to change.

She wants to stand by Li Mubai's side.

In a righteous and upright manner!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Kexin intended to enter the classroom.

Abruptly.

The girl turned around: "Classmate, are you... from the piano department?"

Gu Kexin nodded blankly.

"May I ask, did Li Mubai come to class today?" Song Xingyu clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking at Gu Kexin hopefully.

Gu Kexin shook her head: "No..."

Song Xingyu clearly seemed lost for a moment, but still managed to maintain a smile with great difficulty.

"Then... do you know his phone number? I sent him a message on Feixin, but he didn't reply, I... just heard..."

Gu Kexin looked at the worried expression on Song Xingyu's face and lowered her head slightly.

"I called, but he didn't answer..."

"Then... can you tell me? I'll try calling again."

Gu Kexin felt like she saw herself in Song Xingyu.

Indeed.

It's normal for someone as outstanding as Li Mubai to have many girls chasing after him.

It's also normal for such an outstanding girl to have a crush.

Why should she be an exception?

"Wait a moment."

Gu Kexin slowly returned to her seat, took out her phone, and went back to the door, retrieving Li Mubai's phone number.

Watching Song Xingyu's trembling fingers inputting the number into her contacts.

Gu Kexin whispered, "The rumors are true..."

Song Xingyu couldn't hold onto her phone and it fell directly to the ground.

Although her expression was supposed to be a smile, it looked worse than crying.

"Class... classmate... spreading rumors is a responsible thing to do, deceiving people..."【

Gu Kexin took a deep breath, slowly bent down, and picked up Song Xingyu's phone.

The transparent glass on the back of the phone was already full of cracks. Gu Kexin wiped away the dust with her palm, then handed it to Song Xingyu.

Gu Kexin opened her bloodshot eyes wide and said, "I asked at his dormitory, the old man downstairs said it's true."

Song Xingyu felt like she had been struck!

She remained still for a while before slowly taking the phone.

Her fingers continued to tremble as she finished inputting Li Mubai's number.

Throughout the whole process, Song Xingyu kept murmuring one phrase.

"It's not true... it's not true..."

Slowly, she clicked the dial button on the cracked screen.

A fuzzy beep came from the receiver.

Gu Kexin also looked at the screen with hope.

After about ten seconds.

With a "buzz," as if a miracle had occurred, the call connected!

Gu Kexin and Song Xingyu both trembled.

"Hello, hello, Mubai, is that you? Are you okay?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and the expressions of Song Xingyu and Gu Kexin slowly turned from excitement to silence.

Just because the call was connected doesn't mean that the person on the other end is definitely Li Mubai. It could also be Li Mubai's family or friend.

Finally.

A woman's voice came through the receiver: "At the Central Hospital."

The Central Hospital seemed like a verdict, even though they already knew that the hope of a miracle was slim, Gu Kexin and Song Xingyu still felt that everything suddenly turned darker.

Taking a deep breath, Song Xingyu tightly gripped her phone.

"Which ward?"

"You come, I'll have someone meet you at the hospital entrance."

"Okay!"

With a heavy tone that carried a hint of resentment, Song Xingyu slowly hung up the phone. She pushed her glasses and was about to turn around, looking at the equally stunned Gu Kexin.

"Are you going?"

"I'm going!!!"

There was only one Central Hospital around the Nine Provinces Art Academy.

To save time, Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin naturally chose this hospital.

After all, when it comes to sleeping pills, it's all about saving time for rescue!

Every second earlier means one more second of possibility for survival.

Yun Wuyue hung up the phone and leaned against the wall, feeling absent-minded.

Xiao Nan didn't dare to breathe heavily and whispered again, "President Yun... You should eat something. It's already twelve o'clock."

Yun Nan wasn't a fool.

Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin walking in sync had already made her guess a lot.

And, the result of the incense in that room just came out...

It was exactly what they had all thought.

Although she knew that this was not Yun Wuyue's intention, nor was it Lin Jiayin's intention, Xiao Nan and Xiao still felt deeply shocked.

But soon they felt relieved, because only this possibility would make Li Mubai make such a choice.

During this period of time, she had been following Yun Wuyue and observing everything Li Mubai did, and she deeply understood what a good boy Li Mubai was.

But last night...

Yun Wuyue shook her head and said weakly, "Xiao Nan, go downstairs. Li Mubai's classmate is coming, bring her up."

"Okay... President Yun..."

Looking at Yun Wuyue with a complicated gaze, Xiao Nan sighed softly and left slowly.

Almost as soon as she reached the bottom of the building, Xiao Nan saw two girls running towards her, sweating profusely but without any hesitation.

Taking a few steps forward, Xiao Nan saw the expressions of Song Xingyu and Gu Kexin and immediately understood their feelings towards Li Mubai.

"Are you Li Mubai's classmates?"

Gu Kexin and Song Xingyu glanced at each other and nodded.

"Follow me."

Xiao Nan led the two of them to the entrance of the emergency room.

From a distance, they saw the red light of the emergency room just turning green, and Gu Kexin and Song Xingyu rushed over without hesitation.

The doctor was a middle-aged woman.

"Who is the patient's family?"

Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin immediately approached the doctor and said, "We are!"

The doctor glanced casually at Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin, then slowly began to deliver the verdict.

"The patient has been revived, but has not yet passed the critical period and is being transferred to the intensive care unit...."

"Not yet passed the critical period?" Lin Jiayin exclaimed in disbelief. "Why hasn't he passed the critical period?"

The doctor clearly had encountered this situation before.

He just lowered his head slightly.

"The patient took an excessive dose of sleeping pills, and it was too late. Although gastric lavage has been performed, this medication can suppress the respiratory center, so... we cannot determine if he has passed the critical period."

Yun Wuyue took a deep breath, pondered for two seconds, and appeared the calmest.

In fact, Yun Wuyue was the kind of woman who remained calm in the face of major events, because she had experienced more setbacks than Lin Jiayin.

"Do you mean, doctor, that the next step is whether he can survive?" she asked.

The doctor nodded slightly, acknowledging her question.

"Then... will there be any aftereffects?"

"The patient is experiencing difficulty breathing, with the whole body showing symptoms of stiffness and coldness. Although we have managed to revive him, we cannot guarantee whether the dosage that has already been metabolized will cause brain damage. Medication can potentially affect the central nervous system and the brain."

Yun Wuyue signed the document.

This meant that Yun Wuyue had already read the medical report, and besides, the condition was being truthfully disclosed.

"However, the patient's physical condition is much better than that of an average person, so... the probability of waking up is much higher..."

The doctor stopped halfway through his sentence.

Because behind Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin, Song Xingyu and Lin Jiayin had already burst into tears.

They had never been out in society, so how could they understand terms like nerves and brain?

These frightening words were already beyond their comprehension.

The doctor wisely remained silent, nodded slightly at Yun Wuyue, sighed softly, and slowly walked away...

The green curtains were finally pulled back by the nurses.

Through the glass of the intensive care unit, several people saw Li Mubai lying inside, his face as pale as paper.

The silent atmosphere lasted for about five minutes.

Gu Kexin was the first to speak.

"Don't you need to explain what happened?"

It was hard to imagine that Gu Kexin, who rarely spoke, could say such a demanding statement.

But Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin just lowered their heads slightly, unable to refute anything.

Gu Kexin stood still, her breathing becoming heavy.

"Is having money really that great?"

Song Xingyu looked at Gu Kexin in surprise, only to see tears streaming down her cheeks.

Her whole being seemed to gather an unimaginable strength.

Slowly, Gu Kexin straightened her back, surprising everyone by turning around without a word.

"I will make you regret this!!!"

It wasn't a shout to cheer herself up, but rather a low voice spoken to herself.

However, it sounded quite powerful, and everyone genuinely believed that Gu Kexin was determined to do it.

Without waiting for anyone to say a word, they saw Gu Kexin run away without looking back...

Song Xingyu opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't say anything...
