"Auntie always had a regular medical examination. How come you never found such a large cyst before?"

Luo Yunfei patted her head and replied, "Now is not the time to think about these problems. You have to be fine. Don't wait for Professor Qin to wake up, and your body won't be able to take it anymore."

Song Zixiu just happened to arrive at the hospital when he received the news. The first thing he saw was Lu Ke and Luo Yunfei squatting in front of each other, talking to each other.

"Ke Wei." Song Zixiu walked a few steps faster and called out to him.

Seeing that he had arrived, the expression on Lu Kewei's face instantly relaxed a little. Luo Yunfei, on the other hand, was not feeling well at all.

Lu Kewei stood up, but because he had been squatting there for too long, his vision darkened and he almost lost his balance. Luckily, Luo Yunfei was able to support her.

Song Zixiu quickly took a few steps forward, snatching Lu Kewei from Luo Yunfei's grasp without a doubt. Lu Kewei didn't think too much into it. He hugged Song Zixiu as if he had finally found someone to rely on. He kept saying, "Song Zixiu, I'm so scared."

Song Zixiu was probably not in the mood to care about Luo Yunfei's reaction. He hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. I'm here for everything."

"En!" The heart that was hanging in the air was slightly relieved.

The operation did not last long and there was no risk of death. The doctor said that the cyst still needed to be tested for its benign and malignant nature. Then, the other doctors and nurses sent Qin Zheng back to the ward.

As the time of the anesthetic passed, Qin Zheng began to gain some awareness. However, his mind was still drowsy and he was unable to say a few words to Lu Kowei. Lu Kewei looked at Song Zixiu and Luo Yunfei who were staying here with her, and said, "You two should leave first. Aunt will be staying in the hospital for the next few days. It's getting late, so you two should go back."

Luo Yunfei didn't have to stay for long. He stayed in the sickroom for a while longer before he left.

Song Zixiu, who had yet to leave, walked up to Lu Kewei and said, "You don't have anyone to take care of me tonight, so I think it's better if I stay."

It wasn't that he didn't want to stay, it was just that Qin Zheng didn't like him. Besides, the most important thing for her to do was to make the patient happy.

Seeing that Qin Zheng had fallen asleep again, he pulled Song Zi out of the room and said helplessly, "It's not like you don't know that my aunt doesn't like you. I just can't help it."

Song Zixiu didn't pursue this topic with her, but said: "I really don't trust you to stay here alone."

Lu Kewei pursed his lips and replied, "How about this? You go back first. I'll call you if anything happens or send you a text message. You really don't need to worry."

Song Zixiu hugged her and kissed her forehead before reluctantly leaving.

Lu Kewei returned to the ward and sat by Qin Zheng's bedside. Qin Zheng's mind was still in a daze, but she could clearly hear what people were saying. She knew Song Zi was there, but she didn't have the energy to talk.

Lu Kewei held onto Qin Zheng's hand. Looking at the frail senior lying on the sickbed, she once again felt as if her only family member had really aged. There were many wrinkles on her face, even older, so much so that she could suddenly faint. It was impossible for her to live by herself with Qin Zheng like this.

On the second day, Qin Zheng was already able to eat a bit of liquid food, but he was still not in a good mood. Lu Kewei accompanied her to talk, but she did not say much back.

Luo Yunfei came in the afternoon with a basket of fruit and a bouquet of flowers. Qin Zheng was very happy to see him. She braced herself and said a few words to him as if she was closer to him than to him.

Luo Yunfei seemed to have something to attend to as well. After staying for a while, he was about to leave. Qin Zheng quickly ordered Lu Kewei to send him off.

Lu Kewei escorted Luo Yunfei downstairs. He instructed her to take care of herself, but before he could say anything more, he was forced to stop. Naturally, Lu Kewei didn't ask any further questions. Luo Yunfei sighed at last, and then bid farewell and left.

In the evening, Song Zixiu appeared. It just so happened that Qin Zheng had just fallen asleep.

When he saw that it was him, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes, but was soon replaced by a more complicated emotion.

Song Zixiu also brought a bunch of flowers and also brought Lu Kewei some dinner. Seeing that Qin Zheng was already asleep, he walked over to Lu Kewei and whispered, "Eat something first. I let the servant at home do it as he pleases."

Lu Kewei took another look at Qin Zheng, who was lying on the bed, then took the dinner that Song Zixiu had brought and left.

The two of them sat on a bench in the corridor, and Lu Kewei chatted casually with Song Zixiu as he ate dinner.

"How is your aunt?" Song Zi Xiu asked.

Lu Kewei replied, "The results of the cyst test are still not out yet, but the doctor said there shouldn't be any major problems. I think my aunt will be fine after she wakes up."

Song Zi Xiu nodded and said, "You should go home tonight and have a good night's sleep. I'll be waiting here. I'll call you if anything happens."

"It's not like you don't know how my aunt treats you. If she sees you standing guard here, she'll definitely be angry."

Song Zixiu joked, "You don't believe in my charm?"

Lu Kewei had no interest in playing a joke on him. Hearing that, he could only say, "At this time, I don't dare to anger my aunt at all." After all, she was preoccupied, so she didn't have much to eat before feeling full.

Song Zixiu tried to persuade her, "But you, a girl, can't get a good night's sleep like this. I'm worried too."

Although he did not argue with him on this matter, his attitude was still unrelenting.

The two of them sat for a while longer. In the end, Lu Kewei was still worried. He got up and entered the room.

At this time, Qin Zheng had already woken up. She had been drowsy for more than a day, and at this time, she could not even sleep well. She woke up very quickly. She looked at Lu Kewei, who had just come in, and then looked at Song Zixiu, who was standing behind her. She said to Lu Kewei, "Help me sit up for a while." After lying down for too long, his entire body felt weak and uncomfortable.

He quickly sat on the edge of the bed and placed a pillow behind her before he helped her sit up against the headboard.

Qin Zheng looked at Song Zixiu and said in a lukewarm tone: "You should leave now. I will let you stay here with Ke Wei. We don't need you for anything."

Song Zixiu said hurriedly, "I saw that Ke Wei didn't rest well last night, so I wanted her to go back and rest. I'll be there tonight …"

Before he could finish, Qin Zheng impatiently interrupted him: "Kawai is my niece and I am her elder. I am not seriously ill for a long time and the doctor also said that I will be discharged in a few days if I am well. She has worked hard for these past few days and you do not have to worry about me."

Her words nearly stopped what Song Zixiu wanted to say next.

"Aunt, don't worry. Zi Xiu was worried about you, so he said that."

"I don't need his concern." Qin Zheng said with determination, "If you still want me to live a few more years, don't go accompany your grandfather too early. Let him go."

Qin Zheng's words were a bit too harsh, but she really did not want to see Lu Kewei continue to tangle with him. Although this was only a minor illness, she suddenly felt that she would not be able to live for many more years. Once a person feels old, a lot of things will start to fail them. She was still alive, and if she suddenly went, then no one would be able to help her if anything happened to her in this world. She could only try her best to develop everything according to her plan while she still had the chance.

At first, she hadn't thought that Qin Zheng would hate Song Zixiu so much, and secondly, she thought of her grandfather, who had passed away abruptly after not being with her for a short period of time. The two of them hadn't known each other for long, but they were probably related by blood, so she could feel the love Grandfather Qin had for her.

Qin Zheng closed her eyes and said softly, "You may leave."

Song Zixiu lightly patted Lu Kewei's shoulder to comfort him. He didn't want to make the atmosphere more awkward, so he could only leave first.

Qin Zheng did not speak to Lu Kewei for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Kewei, you should believe that no matter what Aunt does, it's all for your own good." With that, he laid back down with difficulty, leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes to rest. It was unknown if he really slept or was awake.

In the middle of the night, upon seeing that Qin Zheng was sleeping soundly, Lu Kexin was already feeling depressed. At this time, she also walked out of the room with a relieved heart.

The hospital corridor was lit up by incandescent lights, as bright as day, but the emptiness was frightening. She took a few steps forward, and the whole corridor echoed with her footsteps. She reached the end of the corridor and walked down the stairs. She didn't expect to see Song Zixiu leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette as soon as she stepped out of the Inpatient Department building.

She had never seen Song Zixiu smoke before, much less thought that he was still here.

Song Zixiu heard the sound of footsteps and quickly raised his head to look over. Seeing that it was Lu Kewei, he did not seem surprised at all. He said, "Ke Wei, let's go take a walk."

Outside the hospital was a small garden. The greenery was indescribably green, and there were even some simple sports equipment that could be used by people.

Song Zixiu walked a few steps ahead of her and sat down on a bench. Lu Kewei followed her and sat beside him.

Song Zixiu took another deep drag on his cigarette. He was probably a handsome man. Under the swirling smoke, the outline seemed to have become deeper. A trace of decadence made his manliness even more prominent.

In the end, he still took into account Lu Kewei, so he quickly put out the cigarette and threw it away. At this moment, he also had a faint smell of tobacco on his body.

After the battle, he held onto Lu Kewei's hand without even looking at her. He raised his head slightly to look at the sky and asked, "Kewei, what do you think about my relationship with you?" He had long since anticipated Qin Zheng's attitude, but he had long since noticed Lu Kewei's hesitation, especially in the last two days.

Lu Ke Wei bit his lips and did not say anything.

Song Zixiu then said, "Ke Wei, I need to know your thoughts."

"Zi Xiu, Auntie forced me. Are you forcing me as well?" From the start to the end, she was the most miserable one. It was as if she was split in half between the two of them, and no matter who it was, she was unwilling to hurt them.

Song Zixiu put both of her hands into his palms, and finally looked at her, "Ke Wei, I'm not forcing you, but you should know it yourself. You have to give me an answer, and also give yourself an answer."

It seemed as if Lukany had been thinking for a long time, but the words that came out of his mouth were very simple, "Zi Xiu, I can't leave Aunt."

How could Song Zixiu not understand? He was obviously so disappointed that he didn't even feel pain anymore, leaving only numbness in his heart. Yet, he still looked calm on the surface. His reply was even simpler: "I understand."

In a split-second, Lu Kewei couldn't stop his tears from flowing. He covered his face with his hands as he cried.

Song Zixiu's eyes were filled with grief, but he still hugged Lu Kewei tightly and said slowly, "Ky Wei, my mother has been urging me to go back, and my daughter has not been in a very good condition. I think I'll be going back soon, if you really don't want to be with me, then I might not be able to come back to find you. I really don't have that much time left."
