NOVPUBAs soon as Li Guotai said this, the live streaming room instantly erupted.
"Is the disfigurement that severe? Won’t my brother Wu then never be able to find a girlfriend?"
"Dude, to be dragged out of such a big fire and still be alive is already incredible, and you’re still thinking about finding a girlfriend?"
"Being alive isn’t necessarily a good thing, especially with this kind of burn injury. It’s constantly painful, I’d rather be dead."
It’s not that the netizens are cold-hearted, it’s just that this kind of burn injury is indeed too horrific.
Skin is the body’s first barrier of protection, able to shield us from most bacteria and harm.
But without the protection of skin, Wu Bin would be repeatedly infected by various bacteria, and multiple areas of his body would keep festering and inflaming.
Anyone who’s been scalded should know that intensely painful feeling.
The only difference is, for severe burns like Wu Bin’s to form a crust and heal on their own, it is a very difficult thing.
So under these circumstances, it truly might be better to be dead.
He Bingbing started to cry with her hand over her mouth.
The staff members of the photographer’s team were all crying uncontrollably.
Their lives were saved by Wu Bin.
If it weren’t for them, Wu Bin would have already been able to escape on his own.
Li Guotai sighed and said, "Alright, you all go back. Student Wu Bin must be transferred to a sterile ward right away and be observed for a week."
"Once student Wu Bin is completely out of danger, you can come visit."
Li Guotai made a gesture, and the nurses immediately wheeled Wu Bin toward the sterile ward.
Not long after Wu Bin left, the door to another emergency room also opened.
Several doctors walked out of the emergency room and shook their heads at a middle-aged couple.
"I’m sorry, we did our best."
Upon hearing the doctors say this, the middle-aged couple burst into loud wails.
Lu Peihua’s heart sank with a thud, sensing trouble.
He had originally thought that with Wu Bin’s severe injuries, he would definitely be burnt to death.
But who would have thought that Gao Bai was the one who ended up dead?
This made no sense!
Gao Bai was merely engulfed by the alcohol flameback, while Wu Bin actually charged into the fire!
How come Wu Bin could survive and Gao Bai died?
Could it be that people’s constitutions really can’t be all lumped together?
"Son, things have blown up now. Gao Bai’s death is directly related to you, we need to leave quickly."
Previously, Lu Peihua had been thinking about getting the best lawyer for Lu Yuan to defend him.
Now that Gao Bai is dead, there’s no need for a defense, Lu Yuan is guilty of involuntary manslaughter for sure.
Lu Peihua has only this one son, Lu Yuan; he absolutely cannot let Lu Yuan go to jail.
Taking advantage of others’ inattention, Lu Peihua took Lu Yuan and left the hospital.
Shortly after the two of them left, a few police officers came looking for them.
Unable to find them after searching, they could only attempt to contact the two through other methods.
...
In the sterile ward.
Wu Bin lay in the bed, feeling intense burning pain all over his body. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
No wonder ancient times had the punishment of water and fire, this fucking hurts too much!
The key thing is I’m only feeling 5% of the pain. If this were at 100%, wouldn’t that be directly experiencing hell on earth?
Because my skin was completely destroyed.
Currently, Wu Bin had completely lost the ability to move.
There was no need to eat as his life depended entirely on various nutrient solutions.
He didn’t need to pee either, since a catheter was in place.
The only thing Wu Bin could still move were his eyeballs, and the only exercise he had was doing eye exercises.
This is practically like being in prison!
Wu Bin lay in bed, unable to speak.
Watching the nurses and doctors move back and forth beside him, Wu Bin cried out in his heart:
Don’t just focus on collecting data!
Turn on the TV for me, play some shows, I’m so bored!
Unfortunately, nobody knew what Wu Bin was thinking.
After a while, the door to the sterile ward opened again.
Xu Wenyao and He Bingbing, dressed in protective gear, walked in from outside.
He Bingbing’s eyes had swollen up like peaches; it was clear that this kind-hearted young girl was deep in self-blame.
Xu Wenyao walked up to Wu Bin and asked softly, "Wu Bin, how are you feeling now?"
Wu Bin: ...
I’m wrapped up like a mummy, how do you think I feel?
Xu Wenyao sighed and said:
"This is my fault, I didn’t expect you to take our promise so seriously that you’d go this far."
"Wu Bin, you’ve been wronged!"
Wu Bin’s eyes widened.
Wait a minute.
You don’t think it was me who set the fire, do you?
I’m the victim here!
In front of the camera, Xu Wenyao had intended to squeeze out a few tears, but he failed.
Wu Bin, wrapped up like a mummy, was already doing a great job not laughing.
Xu Wenyao continued, "But Wu Bin, your sacrifice was worth it!"
"We are now organizing a joint fire drill for the school."
"The drill will include scenarios like indoor carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide poisoning, and self-rescue in case of fires in the teaching and chemistry buildings."
"It’s not just our school, the entire city of Magi is undergoing citywide fire drills. Your contribution is invaluable!"
Hearing Xu Wenyao say this, everyone else teared up again.
As if Wu Bin had used his own life to serve as a warning to everyone.
But that wasn’t his intention at all!
Now Xu Wenyao treated Wu Bin as if he was his superior, and detailed the school’s work plans and progress for the next month.
Wu Bin rolled his eyes.
This old Xu wasn’t really talking to him; he was clearly speaking to the netizens in the live stream.
Shameless!
You came here to set up your persona, didn’t you!
But the netizens in the live stream really bought into it.
Listening to Xu Wenyao describe all the emergency plans in detail, the live chat was filled with heaps of praise for Xu Wenyao.
"Principal Xu still, as always, puts the safety of the students first, it’s great to have such a principal."
"Yeah, every time Wu Bin is hospitalized, Principal Xu immediately rectifies the school; students from the Agricultural University must be moved to tears."
"Such a capable person is just a principal? Shouldn’t he be promoted to benefit more people?"
After speaking about the work plans for another ten minutes in front of Wu Bin, seeing that Wu Bin had closed his eyes and was ignoring him, Xu Wenyao finally stood up.
"Wu Bin, you rest well, I have some things to take care of at the school, so I’ll go back first."
After Xu Wenyao finished speaking, he left with a group of school leaders.
Once Xu Wenyao was gone, the filming crew also left.
Considering Wu Bin’s condition, a lengthy visit was inappropriate as it might affect his rest.
He Bingbing took out a red hand-knotted bracelet from her bag and placed it on the bedside table.
"I made this myself, hoping that you would recover soon."
After saying this, He Bingbing started crying again.
She covered her mouth and quickly walked out of the sterile ward.
