"Hey, Meixiu! Sorry for bothering you, but can I speak with my brother? I wanted to wait until tomorrow before I called, but I just cannot wait any longer!" Yu Rou said.

"You sound like you're in a hurry. Did something happen?" Meixiu asked.

"Did you not see the news? Something horrible is happening in my city! I could be dead tomorrow at this rate!"

Of course, Yu Rou was talking about the unknown weapon of mass destruction that has terrorized her city.

"Ah, I know what you're talking about. However, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you." Meixiu said.

"Huh? Why would you say that?"

"If this person really wanted to harm the city, they would've destroyed the city already."

"I just can't help but worry when everyone around me is panicking." Yu Rou sighed.

"Anyways, you wanted to speak with Yuan, right? I'm sorry, but that's not possible right now." Meixiu said a moment later.

"Huh? Why not?"

"Well… To tell you the truth, he told me to not tell you since he doesn't want to worry you, but since it's your birthday tomorrow and the truth will eventually be known… Yuan is currently hospitalized."

"HE'S WHAT?!?!" Yu Rou screamed after hearing this unexpected news.

"What happened to him?! Is he okay?!"

"He got injured during training. It's only a few broken bones, so there's no need to worry."

"That sounds horrible! A few broken bones?! That's very serious! What if he cripples himself again?! He's just got his body back!" Yu Rou exclaimed.

"The doctors said that he'll make a full recovery in a few days." Although Meixiu felt bad about lying to Yu Rou like this, she couldn't let Yuan's hard work go to waste.
