Discharge from Hospital

Bai Yuyou was discharged from the hospital. Just as the doctor had said, there was nothing seriously wrong with her body, and after a few more days of observation, no complications had arisen.

On the day of her discharge, Ye Shuang arrived at the hospital early to handle the necessary paperwork for her release.

"Alright, everything's just about ready."

Ye Shuang returned to the ward, and Bai Yuyou had already changed into a dress, her old hospital gown neatly folded on the bed. The young girl stood quietly by a window in a flowing white dress. The weather was lovely today—the breeze and sunshine seemed to blow good fortune into the strands of Yu You's lifted hair.

"Ye Shuang, I want to go home," Bai Yuyou said softly.

"Yeah, let's go." Ye Shuang smiled.

Ye Shuang had taken the whole day off today, specifically to drive Bai Yuyou home.

He even brought the "Bull King" sports car, because Yu You loved that car.

"Got everything you need?" Ye Shuang asked, holding Bai Yuyou's hand.

"The clothes—you said to throw them away."

"Well, you were in the hospital," Ye Shuang said. "Those clothes are no good anymore—I'll buy you new ones. Anything else you forgot?"

"Other stuff…" Bai Yuyou thought for a moment, then glanced at Ye Shuang.

"The snacks are all gone."

As if afraid of being scolded for eating too many snacks, Bai Yuyou quickly looked away.

"Eating them all is fine."

"The fruit is gone too."

"That's fine—fruit is healthy."

"What Alice brought is gone too."

"Honestly, I don't know how you don't gain weight." Ye Shuang reached out and placed his hand on Bai Yuyou's stomach. It was still just as flat as ever—whether that was due to her great metabolism or poor absorption was anyone's guess.

"I will gain weight." Bai Yuyou tilted her head.

"Never seen it."

"I will," Bai Yuyou continued. "When I get pregnant, my belly will grow. Do you want to see, Ye Shuang?"

Ye Shuang chose to skip that topic. "Let's talk about it after graduation."

"Oh." Bai Yuyou didn't press further.

Ye Shuang drove Bai Yuyou back home. The moment the door opened, the house was brightly lit, and a banner hung in the living room—

【Congratulations on Yu You's Discharge】

"Yu You, you're back!"

"Yu You!"

The sound of party poppers went off, and confetti drifted down in a colorful shower.

Quite a few people were sitting in the living room. Bai Yuyou looked over and saw that Keke, along with Fugui and the Light Music Club crew—it seemed everyone was there except Chen Qin.

"So many people." Bai Yuyou said, turning to glance at Ye Shuang beside her, as if asking a question.

"They all came to celebrate your discharge. As the saying goes—'after great disaster comes great fortune.'" Ye Shuang smiled and reached out to ruffle Bai Yuyou's hair. After such a big incident, getting out of the hospital definitely called for a celebration.

"Here, flowers!" Keke stepped forward and handed a bouquet to Bai Yuyou.

"Carnations." Bai Yuyou looked at them.

"Thank you, everyone."

Bai Yuyou hugged the bouquet and bowed to everyone present. Her polite and well-mannered demeanor brought smiles to many faces.

On the dining table nearby, an elaborate feast had already been prepared, looking incredibly abundant.

"Can we start eating now?" An Shiyu asked, standing beside Keke.

"Hey now, are you really that hungry?"

"I skipped breakfast just for this meal," An Shiyu said, while Anshi Yi beside her nodded while gnawing on a chicken leg. "Yeah, yeah—I'm starving!"

"Hey! Where did you get that chicken leg?!" Tang Keke glared.

"Off a chicken, where else?" Anshi Yi said. "What, did you think I got it from you?"

Tang Keke put her hands on her hips, so angry her—

well, her "slime" bounced. "You can't do that! We have to wait for Yu You!"

"That's rich coming from you. I cooked this chicken and added my secret spices. As the chef, I have to taste it before it hits the table, right?" Anshi Yi said.

Tang Keke shot her a look of disdain. "Never heard of 'tasting' starting with a giant drumstick. And 'chef'? Please—you just sprinkled some seasoning at the end, didn't you?"

"I know you're eager, but hold your horses." Anshi Yi pointed at the chicken leg in her hand.

"Why not ask the party in question—oh, I mean, the chicken itself? Look, it has no complaints. Doesn't say a word."

"What a morbid joke."

Watching Tang Keke and An Shiyu bicker, Ye Shuang smiled. "Alright, let's eat first. Don't argue on the day Yu You gets out of the hospital."

There were so many people at home that those who couldn't fit at the table sat on the sofa, with the dishes placed on the coffee table. That arrangement worked out just fine.

There was an abundance of food—some dishes made by Keke and the others, plus food prepared by chefs who came in. With so many guests to feed, relying on just Keke and her friends wouldn't have been enough; they needed professionals for this.

"Come on, a toast—celebrating Yu You's discharge today, and Taozi's discharge a few days ago. Cheers." Ye Shuang raised his glass.

"Cheers—"

"The performance didn't quite succeed. That's a shame." Bai Yuyou set down her juice.

"Having you be safe is what really matters. These things are small in the grand scheme." Keke said.

"Yeah, exactly—health is the most important thing." Zhixia and the others comforted Yu You, and also brought some good news.

Zhixia pulled out her phone.

"It might sound a bit strange to say this, but the duet you performed with Teacher Ye at the gala has gone viral. It also brought over two hundred thousand followers to our account."

"Viral?" Bai Yuyou seemed a bit confused. She tilted her head, then reached out to take the phone.

In the video, it showed the performance that Yu You and Ye Shuang had done not long ago.

She opened the comment section—

"Such a beautiful girl, what a pity if she'd been crushed."

"She didn't die—she was just lightly injured. Don't spread rumors."

"The song is great—my favorite version by far. Her voice is so sweet and clear."

"The guy looks pretty handsome, too? Though he wasn't captured clearly."

"So gorgeous. She might become a star someday—she has great presence."

"Being crushed…"

Bai Yuyou looked at the comments, and Keke explained, "When the screen falling became trending news, the netizens dug into who the people involved were. They traced back to this performance video, fell in love with the song, and ended up following us."

"Ah, the internet—you never know what's going to gain you followers." Ye Shuang remarked.

"Follows are coming in fast. We've gained tens of thousands more just today. We even posted a video this afternoon saying that you were fine."

"I see…" Bai Yuyou noticed there were many people online concerned about her condition, and spoke softly toward the phone.

"Thank you all."
