After rushing to the hospital, Ding Meng first approached the information desk to ask where Qiao Yichen's hospital room was located.

The nurse at the information desk unresponsively stared at the blood on her clothes in surprise and confusion. Ding Meng hurriedly explained, "This isn't my blood. Where is Qiao Yichen's hospital room?"

Hearing that it wasn't her blood made the situation sound even worse. The nurse sized Ding Meng up once more. Then she searched through the computer and provided a room number.

Ding Meng quickly rushed over. When she walked out of the elevator, she saw that Qiao Yixing and the program manager were discussing something at the end of the corridor. She didn't call out to them. Instead, she directly knocked on the hospital room's door and walked in.

Mama Qiao was sitting by herself inside and had turned around to look at the doorway. Before Ding Meng had a chance to speak, Mama Qiao turned pale with fright. "Heavens Meng Meng! How did you get injured too?! Is it serious? I'll help you call doctor!"

Ding Meng hurriedly stopped her. "It's not like that. The blood on me is Qiao Yichen's. He was injured because he saved me."

Mama Qiao paused for a moment before quickly calming down. Then she had a realization and spoke, "Eh...... so it turns out that the singer the program staff had spoken of was actually you. I was just wondering, when did he become such a good Samaritan."

Ding Meng, "......"

Even though Ding Meng felt these words were quite accurate, this was her own son that was lying on the hospital bed. Was criticizing him like that really okay......

After discovering that Qiao Yichen had injured himself protecting Ding Meng, Mama Qiao's view of the matter completely changed. "In that case, his injuries this time weren't unjust at all. Protecting the wife is a matter of principle."

Ding Meng wasn't as open-minded as Mama Qiao. After all, she had seen the image of QIao Yichen heavily bleeding. Even now, just thinking about it made her flustered. "How is he? What did the doctor say?"

Mama Qiao took her hand and gave it a couple comforting pats. "He's fine. The doctor gave him some stitches. He's still sleeping right now. I imagine he has concussion or some after effect like it. He'll need to stay and be observed at the hospital for a few more days."

Ding Meng worriedly looked at Qiao Yichen who was on the hospital bed. His complexion was very pale white. Even his usually lively eyelashes seemed completely lacking in vitality.

Mama Qiao saw her expression and continued to speak comfortingly. "Don't worry. The body of our family's Goudan is strong enough. We haven't called him Goudan all these years for nothing." Even though Qiao Yichen was really weak at birth, his family had raised him well. The older he grew, the sturdier he became.

Mama Qiao firmly believed this was all due to her contribution of choosing a good name for her son.

At this time, the hospital room door was knocked on again. Qiao Yixing and the program manager walked in. Both of them looked a little surprised when they saw Ding Meng inside the room.

In the end, the program manager was the first to speak. "Ding Meng, you also came?"

Ding Meng nodded, "He only got hurt because he saved me. I was a bit worried."

The program manager didn't read overthink this. After all, without Qiao Yichen, she would be the one lying in here. Thinking up to there, he became worried that Ding Meng had also been injured so he asked, "Since you've come, do you want to get an inspection while you're here? It would be bad if you were injured somewhere without knowing. We'll completely cover the costs."
