Chapter 47 Sika: I have horns on my head~
Seoul, Sinchon Yonsei Hospital.
In the VIP observation room at the far end of the emergency department, the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.
Jessica's eyes were red and swollen, and she was curled up on the long sofa. Her face was still showing signs of shock, and her hands were tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
Yoona sat beside her, put her arm around her shoulder, rested her chin on her hair, and whispered comforting words.
On the other side, leader Taeyeon stood in front of the sofa, holding an ice pack wrapped in a towel, and carefully applied it to Jessica's swollen forehead.
In the corner of the room, maknae Seohyun kept glancing at the closed door, her eyes filled with anxiety.
The atmosphere in the observation room was somber and heavy.
With a muffled bang, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The sudden commotion made everyone in the ward turn their heads to look.
A tall figure wearing a black training uniform and a baseball cap walked in.
Seohyun's tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and she softly called out, "Senior."
Yoona paused slightly as she held Jessica's arm.
She looked up and her gaze fell on Li Zhixing's training uniform, which he hadn't even had time to change out of, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Following closely behind, Lee Soon-kyu, slightly out of breath, also entered the ward.
She closed the door tightly behind her, then quietly walked over and stood beside Xu Xian.
Ignoring the stares of others, Li Zhixing looked directly at Jessica, who was pale and had a swollen forehead on the sofa.
When Li Zhixing finally appeared, Jessica could no longer suppress her emotions.
She stood up from Yoona's arms, her voice trembling with tears, and cried out:
"Why are you so late!"
Before she could finish speaking, the tears she had managed to hold back burst forth again.
"Feel sorry!"
Li Zhi walked up to Sika, lowered his head slightly, and carefully examined the redness and swelling on her forehead. Seeing that there was no sign of broken skin or bleeding, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He frowned slightly and asked in a soft voice, "Does it still hurt?"
Jessica bit her lower lip, giving him a slightly aggrieved look and saying, "What do you think?"
Hearing her complaints, which were tinged with a thick nasal tone, Li Zhixing sighed.
He didn't say anything more, but turned to Taeyeon beside him and held out his hand: "Taeyeon-ssi, give me the ice pack."
Taeyeon instinctively handed over the ice pack she was holding.
Li Zhixing gently patted Xika's shoulder, gesturing for her to sit down, and then gently applied an ice pack to her forehead.
Yoona, who was standing to the side, had been staring at Li Zhixing ever since he entered the room.
But she discovered that Li Zhixing only paid attention to Sika from beginning to end.
She silently looked away, lowered her head, and stared at her throbbing arm. Even though I...
Once Jessica had calmed down a bit, Li Zhixing turned his head to look to the side.
"What exactly happened?"
A deep voice echoed in the ward.
Yoona subconsciously looked up and found that Lee Ji-hyeong's gaze was fixed on her.
Caught off guard by his gaze, Yoona froze for a moment.
She thought Li Zhixing would ignore her and pretend he didn't know her at all, just like before.
Seeing that Lin Yoona was stunned and didn't react, Li Zhixing frowned slightly and was about to ask the others.
Yoona, however, had already come to her senses.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down a bit, and then spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
As she recounted her story, Li Zhixing finally understood why these girls had appeared in the emergency room in such a disheveled state.
This afternoon, Girls' Generation went to Incheon to participate in an outdoor interactive event at an expo.
A large number of fans and citizens gathered at the scene, but the security force was severely insufficient.
Everything was barely holding on, but the unexpected happened while they were traveling in the parade vehicle.
The surging crowd instantly overwhelmed the defenses. In the midst of the extreme crowding and chaos, whether it was a sasaeng fan or a lurking anti-fan, someone suddenly threw a camera out from the crowd.
The camera slammed into Jessica's forehead.
The sudden turn of events caused the scene to spiral out of control, and the members could only be rushed to the hospital by their manager in a panic.
Li Zhixing listened quietly, his brows furrowing little by little.
Where is that person?
Yoona was taken aback by the coldness in his tone. She lowered her head, her voice hoarse, "There were too many people and it was too chaotic at the scene. My manager oppa said he couldn't find it."
"Didn't find it?" Li Zhixing sneered. "Is it that you didn't find it, or that you didn't even look for it at all? I bet your manager didn't even call the police, did he?"
Yoona opened her mouth, but had no words to say.
Since the incident, the company has only been focused on blocking the news and arranging their evacuation; no one has mentioned catching the perpetrators.
Li Zhixing took out his phone directly from his pocket and opened Naver's real-time trending topics.
Sure enough, the internet is already in an uproar over this matter.
The trending topics were all about "Jessica being hit by a camera," and countless fans, while concerned about Jessica's injuries, angrily demanded that SM Entertainment find the perpetrator and punish him severely.
However, just minutes ago, SM Entertainment released an emergency announcement.
"The camera attack incident circulating online today is a completely unfounded rumor."
"The scene was crowded at the time, and Jessica panicked out of concern for the safety of her fans. She was not hit by any object, and the photos circulating online are just visual illusions caused by the angle..."
After reading this announcement, which was full of blatant lies, Li Zhixing was so angry that he laughed.
His gaze swept over the girls in the ward, his tone filled with undisguised mockery:
"This is exactly the usual style of your company. In order not to make a big fuss, and for the sake of that pitiful stock price and reputation, you don't even want to offend the haters."
Looking at Jessica's obviously swollen forehead, Li Zhixing's eyes turned completely cold: "Not daring to utter a single word, only able to pretend to be magnanimous by pressing the victim's head down. SM really knows how to play this trick of appeasement."
Kim Tae-yeon, standing to the side, sighed softly and said with a wry smile, "Hasn't the company always been like this?"
A heavy silence fell over the ward.
Just then, Seohyun couldn't help but whisper, "Senior, actually Yoona unnie was also injured. When the camera flew over, unnie helped to block it."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhixing looked at Yoona.
Sure enough, he saw a noticeable red swelling on Yoona's arm.
Noticing Li Zhixing's gaze, Yoona suddenly became a little nervous and subconsciously moved her arm back.
Li Zhixing stared at the red swelling for a moment, then asked with some doubt, "So, you blocked the camera, which is why it hit Sika's forehead?"
what?
No one expected him to say such a thing.
Yoona was completely dumbfounded.
Even Jessica, who had just calmed down, looked at him in astonishment.
After realizing what had happened, Jessica slapped Li Zhixing lightly and glared at him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's all thanks to Yoona for shielding me, otherwise that camera would have hit my eye."
Hearing Jessica say that, Lee Ji-hwan smiled and looked at Yoona: "Then I really have to thank you for taking the blame for Jessica."
In Li Zhixing's view, although the visual of Girls' Generation always inexplicably harbored hostility towards him, he would not hold it against her because she had taken the blame for Jessica. Therefore, this could be considered as him actively extending goodwill.
But Seohyun, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
No, did I tell you this so you'd say thank you? At least ask if Yoona unnie is in pain!
Upon hearing the "thank you," Yoona's initial nervousness and anticipation vanished instantly, and her expression turned cold.
She stood up abruptly, staring intently at Li Zhixing, and questioned him in an icy tone.
"Thank you? What gives you the right to thank me? By what right do you say thank you?"
