C53

I can only tell you the truth, "I just got divorced this year, kid... He's already five or six years old. "

The lady said with slight surprise, "The child is five years old?"

The word divorce made her understand that it was not good to inquire any further, so the lady did not pursue the matter any further and stopped.

After that, no one asked about the marriage, but I was relieved.

After lunch, because both sides played ball all morning, I went out fishing in the afternoon. I was really not interested in fishing, so in order to build a good relationship with the officials and wives, I even prepared some gifts for them. It was a necklace shaped like a drop of water made from crystals.

This was the kind of thing that people of this age liked to see in the world. Several wives kept saying, "How unique!"

I sat by the side and laughed along with them. Yu Jin, who was fishing with Director Chen and the rest, probably did not expect that I would prepare such a move, but after hearing the commotion coming from our side, he looked over and I smiled at him. While the ladies were playing with the necklaces in my hands, I walked over to him and sat beside him.

Seeing my curiosity, Yu Jin waved at me, and still managed to pull him closer, Yu Jin pulled me into his embrace, while I sat on his lap. I was about to struggle, when Yu Jin whispered into my ear: "Take this." I lowered my head to look at the premonition he gave me, then he sneaked a glance at Director Chen and the rest, as well as those other wives. Seeing that she wasn't looking at me, I still stretched out my hands and held onto his fishing rod.

Seeing my cautious and guilty appearance, Yu Jin suddenly pecked my lips. He laughed and said: "What's wrong?

I ruthlessly wiped my lips a few times, and looked around. Fortunately, everyone was talking, and no one noticed Yu Jin's movements just now. I was so angry that I hit his chest and said: "You're scaring me to death, I've even had a heart attack."

Yu Jin looked at me with eyes filled with laughter, but didn't say anything. At this time, Yumann Ting walked over with Yu Jin and whispered something into his ear, although his voice was not loud, I was still encircled by Yu Jin. Basically, I could hear everything Yumann Ting had just said to Yu Jin.

Yumann Ting said: "It's from Miss Wu."

Initially, Yu Jin still had a lazy smile on his face, but after hearing Yumann Ting's words, he stood up, patted my head, and said to me, "The fish took the bait, remember to retract."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yumann Ting, and the two of them went into the cabin one after the other, leaving me sitting there alone with the fishing rod in my hand. After approximately half an hour, Yu Jin came out from the cabin, his expression did not change in the slightest. When he came to my back, he coincidentally had a fish caught on his hook.

Yu Jin didn't have the intention to help him at all. He just stood there watching me, and when he saw that I was almost pulled down by the fish, he walked over and threw the fishing rod in my hand down. The fishing rod followed the fish's struggles and sank to the bottom of the sea.

After I saw it, I panicked and was about to say something when Yu Jin grabbed onto my hand and said softly, "Let's go. We might have to leave early."

Yu Jin brought me to bid farewell to Director Chen and the rest, saying that there was an accident at home and that we might have to return to the city early. Not long after, a boat came to pick us up, and Yu Jin brought me onto another boat, allowing us to leave from here.

After reaching the shore. Yu Jin hurriedly walked forward, not far from there, there was a car waiting for us. Yu Jin opened the car door, pushed me in, and sat behind me, the moment he closed the door, I had a bad premonition, I pulled on my sleeves and asked softly: "Brother, did something happen?"

Yu Jin didn't immediately tell me what had happened. Instead, he looked at me for a long time, then placed his hand on top of my head. He rubbed his thumb on my head a few times, then said, "Old Gramps had a stroke."

My entire body collapsed, because we all understood what being struck meant. With laozi's current body, being able to protect it, once I had a stroke, it would only add insult to injury. Furthermore, Yu Jin's action of bringing me back immediately showed that his condition was not low at all.

After Yu Jin finished saying those words, he did not say anything else and instructed the driver to hurry over to our inn as soon as possible. After we reached there, Yu Jin packed my things quickly, and after he was done, he grabbed the luggage and walked over with my luggage, then grabbed my hand and said: "Let's go."

But I didn't move, I only pulled Yu Jin and said: "Big bro, tell me this isn't true, Grandfather just called me a few days ago, and he's still training me on the phone, how could there be a change in my condition today? Is it another conspiracy of Wu Xia's that led us back, otherwise, don't go back, don't trust them."

I don't know why, but at this moment, I was so afraid to go back and face the unknown. I was afraid of death, I was afraid to lose any of my loved ones, I was afraid that my life would be pushed into a seemingly peaceful sea with surging dark waves. How can I believe that it's true?

Yu Jin knew what I was afraid of. He stood there and looked at me for a long time, then said softly, "Little Wei, there are times when life and death come to an end, and there are many things that we have to accept. This is the cruelty of time."

When Yu Jin said these words, there was not a single trace of sadness on his face. He was very, very calm, so calm that it was scary. It was as if the person he was talking about, wasn't the grandfather who doted on him since he was young, but was instead a stranger that he couldn't be more familiar with.

I shook my head. "I don't want to go back. Yu Jin, I don't want to go back." I turned around and wanted to run, but he grabbed me from behind and brought me away with him. I struggled in his embrace and shouted loudly: "Yu Jin! Let me go! I already said that I don't want to go back, so take me with you. Grandpa will definitely be fine, so pinch me and let me go. "

After Yu Jin forcefully brought me out of the hotel, he opened the door and threw me into the car. Just as I wanted to get out of the car, he grabbed onto me and threw the luggage to the manager, before sitting down.

He grabbed me, who was still in a frenzy, and said with slight anger: "Yu Xiaowei! I know you can't accept death, but once a person gets old, they will have to walk this path. No matter if they are you or me, when they become old, they will always be like this. So what if you don't want to accept it? Will the facts change? "

I cried as I said to him, "Big brother, if even grandfather goes, then there will really be no one left in our family …"

He heard me and, suppressing the anger on his face, he said, "I know."

He took me in his arms and whispered, "Am I not here?" He stroked my back a few times and said, "Alright, now the only thing to do is to rush over to see how the old man is. Don't cry yet."

I leaned into his embrace and didn't speak, my emotions had instead gradually calmed down. I was thinking what kind of reaction would he have when I returned, and how Yu Jin would have if he had known that there would be a day when the company landed in my hands without him knowing the circumstances.

I know that I have made all the preparations in my heart to wait for all of this, but when it really comes, I actually feel so hopeless.

After three hours, the plane landed at the airport in City N, Jiang Hua had been waiting for me there since a long time ago. The moment I saw him, I wanted to see a trace of relief in his eyes, but after searching for a long time, he seemed to be able to see through my intentions, and only shook his head slightly.

I knew what it meant, what it meant.

After Jiang Hua and I were at the airport, Jiang Hua took us directly to the hospital, and no one talked on the car. After the car stopped at the hospital, Yu Jin took the elevator and we arrived at the old man's door.

The corridor looked peaceful. No one moved, no one spoke. It was terrifyingly quiet, just as I had expected that day. The time had finally come.

Yu Jin and I stopped at the same time, just in time for a nurse to come in carrying something. Jiang Hua said beside us: "Yesterday, after the old man fell in the bathroom, he was unable to move at all, and has already started to drink and eat. The doctor came over and said that the old man might not be able to recover, and told you and the Miss Yu to be mentally prepared."

After Yu Jin heard this, he did not speak the entire time. At this time, the door was pushed open, and Wu Xia walked out of the sickroom. The moment he saw Yu Jin, he threw himself into Yu Jin's embrace, with his red and swollen eyes crying as he said, "Yu Jin, the old man has been holding back his breath, waiting for all of you to return."

Yu Jin did not push Wu Xia away, but asked softly: "How is it?"

Wu Xia got up from his embrace, touched her tears and said, "I can't speak clearly enough." She suddenly shifted her gaze towards me and stopped crying. She continued, "The Old Master has always been talking about wanting to see Little Wei."

Everyone knows that the Old Master and I don't have a good relationship, but at this time, the first person he looked for was me, naturally it was weird, but Yu Jin didn't reply to Wu Xia, he just held my hand and said two words, "Let's go." He then led me in.

When Yu Jin led me to stand in front of the old man's sickbed, I saw that the once majestic and majestic old man who walked with the wind was now lying on the sickbed like a skeleton. At that moment. I discovered that time is a cruel monster. How can he be so cruel and torture people to the point where they lose their dignity?

The old man couldn't get up, and now he could only lie on the bed with his eyes half-open. I suspect that he couldn't speak now, but the nurse was at his side changing his bottle, and with some effort, she knocked on the oxygen mask, and when the nurse understood what he wanted, she took the mask away from his face, exposing his entire face. At that moment, he said the first sentence, "Little Wei, come over here."

It was only Yu Jin who was at the side who pushed me. Only then did I walk over to him, and I sat down on the bed so that he could speak to me. However, when I called out to my grandfather, the liquid in my eyes flowed down.

When he saw me like this, he frowned and shook his head, signaling me not to cry.

But I still couldn't control myself, and the tears kept pouring down my face like they were breaking a dam. I couldn't stand the sight of myself, but I didn't want to affect the old man's mood. I covered my face and tried to calm myself down, but when the two words came out of my head, I couldn't hold it in any longer, and I buried my face in my palms and cried.

All my life, I had lived it all with patience, but at this moment, I couldn't stop myself. I just wanted to cry it off.

I don't know how long I cried for, but Jiang Hua probably showed his intentions and walked over to give me a tissue. I wiped off my tears and looked at the old man with swollen red eyes.

The old man waved at me and said, "Don't cry, what's there to cry about? You know what I hate the most in my life is crying. It's annoying." After he finished this sentence, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are your eyes painful?"

This was the first time the old man had said he was concerned about me. I was stunned for a few seconds before I immediately shook my head and said, "It doesn't hurt."

The old man said, "It's good as long as it doesn't hurt. Since I let you guys come today, I have nothing else to say to you. You better work hard and don't make your parents worry." He said these simple words that were filled with deep meaning to me, then turned to look at Yu Jin, and waved his hand: "Come here, I have something to say to you."

Yu Jin and I sat together in front of the old man. His hands were still able to move, but his lower body still wasn't able to move. He slowly extended his hand out from under the blanket and grabbed onto my hand first.

After he held my hand, Yu Jin then handed it over to him and held ours together. The old man said: "You two are siblings, no matter what happens in the future, do not hurt each other. You must hold on to each other for the rest of your lives."

The old man added in a heavy tone, "Yu Jin, you have to take care of your sister."

Yu Jin said three words, "Don't worry."

The old man had always believed what Yu Jin had said to him, so he nodded his head in relief. Then, he moved his gaze to Wu Xia, who was standing behind me and had not dared to make a sound, who had always been a good judge of other's intentions. When the old man looked over, she immediately knew what the old man had to say and took the initiative to walk over.

The old man glanced back and forth between Wu Xia and Yu Jin's faces, but in the end, his gaze still fell upon Wu Xia. He said: "Wu Xia, you are's wife, from the moment you and Yu Jin signed the marriage certificate, no one can change anything. Grandfather really likes you, and can be a little …"

Wu Xia's wail also stopped right after. The old man looked into his eyes, and said word by word, "Don't scheme against your feelings. Once you do, you will also be tricked by your feelings."

The old man patted on the back of Wu Xia's hand. Wu Xia did not understand what the old man meant, although there were tears in his eyes, but there were even more words that lagged behind, leaving behind some doubts and a little guilty after being seen through.

The old man had given Wu Xia face, but did not expose him. Instead, he retorted, "Yu Jin is my most beloved grandson, and since she is not a good person to get along with, don't try to calculate with him who paid the most for this marriage, and who got the most, and who let down who." The old man frowned and shook his head, "This is for naught. You have to be patient if you love someone. You have to wait a long life for that. God will give it to you one day. "

I don't know if he really understood the old man's true meaning behind those few words. In the next second, Wu Xia held onto the old man's hand again, and cried: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yu Jin and take good care of Little Wei."

When the old man heard her words, he nodded and patted her hand again before letting go.

After everyone had said a few words, the old man waved his hand and said, "Go back, all of you. I'm fine. It's just a stroke. Don't worry."

I heaved a sigh of relief. Afraid that I would disturb the old man's rest, we all stood up. As we turned around to leave one after another, the old man sighed heavily from behind us. He said, "If you have the time, then go to your parents' tomb and burn some incense for me." As he said this, his tone was full of exhaustion, "I'm almost ninety now, and yet I still have to help my son and daughter-in-law burn their graves. That's truly sinful."

After he finished speaking, he turned his face to the side and entered the bed, the entire shadow obscuring his upper body, we could not see his expression, I still wanted to say a few words of consolation, Yu Jin grabbed onto my hand, and did not let me pass.

The old tutor had been a military man his entire life. He had always kept his word in the market and had always been decisive in his killing. How could he tolerate others seeing his sorrow?

Yu Jin pulled me out of the sickroom and waited there with the doctor, seemingly talking about the old man's situation. I wanted to follow, but Yu Jin didn't give in, instead he lightly pressed me down and said softly: "Wait for me here."

He wiped the tears from my face and walked over to the doctor.

Yu Jin and the doctor went to the office to talk, leaving me, Wu Xia and Jiang Hua to wait in the hallway. I did not care that Wu Xia was here, but instead took the initiative to walk over.

Jiang Hua said this sentence very conservatively. "The doctor said that the situation isn't good."

I said, "But he looks like this. Except for his lower body, he can't move at all. His voice is still very clear. It's not as serious as you said it was."

Jiang Hua remained silent as he faced me. Wu Xia walked over and said softly by my side, "Little Wei, please don't make things difficult for Assistant Jiang. Everyone hopes that Grandfather is alright, but we can't do anything about the doctor's words."

When Wu Xia said this, I coldly looked at her. When she saw the look in my eyes, she did not dare say anymore and retreated a few steps back.

At this time, the nurse walked out of the old man's sickroom and came to Jiang Hua's front and whispered, "The old man said he wants to see Miss Yu."

Jiang Hua and Wu Xia glanced at me at the same time, which I did not expect, but I had roughly known why the old man was looking for me the second time. I stood there in silence for a few seconds, then pushed open the old man's door and walked in again.

The old man was still lying on the bed, and we were the only two in the room. From time to time, the clicks of the clock on the wall could be heard, and every second and every second was followed by clicks.

I sat down in front of the old man again. He seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time, and once again stretched out his hand towards me. I put my hand on his palm, and for some reason, I felt the temperature in his hand become colder than before.

He said, "I can't guarantee you a lifetime. Now that everything has been planned out for you, I'll give you one last chance. This path, do you want to go or not go?"

I didn't know how to answer the old man, because I felt I was wrong to answer him. The old man saw what I was thinking and he said, "Don't worry about what I think about your decision, just tell me. What kind of life do you want to lead? "

He thought for a moment and then said, "Remember, this is your last chance to regret it."

I sat there with my fists clenched and said nothing, and once again the room was quiet, and the old man didn't press me, but just looked at me and waited for me to think about what to say.

In my mind, I asked myself what kind of life I wanted to lead. In fact, I was at a loss, and I couldn't find an answer for myself.

Roughly a dozen or so minutes later, the old man knew that my heart was currently in a mess. He said: "Even though I don't know what shook your resolve, Little Wei, you must clearly realize that there are two points. First, you must not be together with Yu Jin in this life, and that if the two of you get tangled up together, it will only result in the destruction of each other.

The old man doesn't want to say anything to me, so let's just end his words here. After he finished speaking, he said another sentence, telling me to go back and think things through carefully.

I don't know how I got out of the old man's room. I only know that I thought it was a distant thing, but now it's so close, but what choice do I have?

Wu Xia saw that my face was pale white and came to a realization. It looked very different from when I went in, and she looked at me with some suspicions.

After I came out, I didn't say a single word, and leaned against the door as I looked out of a window in the corridor. After that, Yu Jin brought Yumann Ting and walked out of the doctor's office.

I did not resist, but rather followed Yumann Ting and left the hospital obediently. After returning home, the moment I sat on the sofa, a servant brought out a cup of tea from the kitchen and passed it to me. When sharp, I cover it? Zi, throw the cup in your hand onto the ground and push aside the servants and Yumann Ting who was blocking in front of me.

I covered my stomach with all my might as I wanted to see that disgusting feeling pressed down. However, the more strength I used, the stronger that disgusting feeling became.

Yumann Ting and the servant were shocked by my sudden reaction. They came up from behind and asked if there was anything wrong.

I couldn't answer them. On the contrary, my vomiting got worse and worse, spitting out all of the food I ate today. Only then did I feel that my disgust had been suppressed by quite a bit.

I repeatedly splashed cold water on my face. After feeling that I had calmed down a lot, I then looked up, exhausted, and the servant and Yumann Ting carefully helped me out of the washroom. When I sat on the sofa, Yumann Ting gave me a cup of water. It was pure water, warm.

She frowned and asked, "Do you need to ask the doctor to come over?"

I said, "No need, I'm just a little tired."

Seeing my pale face, Yumann Ting asked worriedly, "I think you should look for a doctor, don't worry."

The servant at the side also said, "That's right, Miss, it's not good to vomit like that just now."

I didn't say anything. I leaned against the sofa tiredly and whispered, "I want to rest."

Seeing me like this, Yumann Ting and the servant did not dare say anything, and could only help me up the stairs. When I reached upstairs, I covered my stomach and rolled around on the bed for a while, I knew very well what that feeling meant, the hand I placed on my lower abdomen became more and more forceful, more and more forceful, until I almost wanted to pierce my stomach with my hands and take out everything that I needed to take out.

I curled up on the bed, and when I felt the wetness coming from my groin, my hand stopped. In the end, he didn't dare to push his hand down.

That night, as I was lying on my bed, I didn't actually fall asleep until three in the morning. The sound of footsteps and voices came from outside the bedroom, it was the sound of servants talking, as well as Yu Jin's footsteps. His footsteps were easy to recognize, no matter how hurried his footsteps were, they were very calm.

The servant followed beside him, and told him about the situation after I returned. When the door opened, Yu Jin did not allow the servant to follow him in, but instead said in a low voice: "I understand, you can leave."

After the servant left, Yu Jin closed the door and walked in. When he arrived at the bedside, he picked me up from the bed and upon seeing my face filled with tears, he raised his hand to wipe them all, then said: "The servant said that you threw up really hard today, are you alright?"

I hugged him back and said, "I ate too much seafood. I'm not used to the weather there. "

Yu Jin pulled me into his embrace and said in a low voice, "Alright, since your body isn't feeling well, then rest well at home for the next few days. Don't go out."

I hugged his neck a third of the way, only with a grunt.

Yu Jin caressed my head twice and didn't speak anymore. For some reason, the moment I was hugged by him, I actually fell asleep in his embrace. Yu Jin didn't say anything either and just hugged me as he watched me fall into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Yu Jin went to the hospital to see the old man. The old man's current condition was not very stable, after I finished eating breakfast in the villa, I changed into a new set of clothes and left the villa to go to the same hospital, but to a small hospital. When I finished lining up, I paid all the money that I needed. For a moment it was like I was eighteen years old, and so was I, walking blindly through the hospital, trembling, clutching my money and my medical card.

At that time, I was still wearing my school uniform. In line at the Gynecology clinic, everyone kept looking back at me. I held the thing in my hand and kept my head down, trying to look like I was watching the menstrual cycle.

When at last it was my turn to sit in front of the doctor, he asked me what was wrong with me, and I said it was my tummy, and the doctor asked me if I was having an irregular month, and I didn't say anything.

Seeing that my hand had been covering my lower abdomen, she felt that I was not fat, but my lower abdomen had some abnormalities, so she took my hand away from my lower abdomen, pressed a few times, and asked, "Are you still a student? "How old are you this year?"

I stammered back, "Ten, ten, eight."

After I replied, the doctor had already seen my information on the computer. She emotionlessly replied, "You're pregnant."

Those three simple words were no different from a thunderclap. The people who were lining up at the back all looked over at the same time. Under their gazes, I lowered my head in panic like a thief.

The doctor didn't give me any face. She asked me what I wanted, if my family knew about this, they couldn't take it away for me without permission. I had to have someone from my family to accompany me.

I couldn't stand the way they looked at me. I rushed out of the office with my face flushed and my hands clutching my chart. Even after a long walk, I could still hear their voices behind me.

"What's wrong with the children now? They look clean and white, only eighteen years old, and they're already pregnant. The parents don't care about the education, this is too reckless …"

Another person said, "That's right, that's right. That stomach should have been there for three months already. It must have been messed up while studying at school, so that's how much it grew."

It belongs to the cruel and idle words of the adult world. It was as if a huge thorn had pierced my heart.

When I returned home from the hospital that day, I skipped school and shut myself in the bathroom to cry for the whole afternoon. At that time, my parents were not at home, they were very busy with work, either on business or traveling outside, and Yu Jin and I were alone in the house for a long time.

After Yu Jin finished his work and returned, he heard my wails outside, so he walked in and lifted up the face that was tightly buried between my legs. When he saw my face that was covered in tears, and then looked at the pregnancy test stick on the sink, he immediately understood what was going on. He carried me out of the bathroom, saw that my clothes were dirty, and took out a clean and loose shirt to change me.

The first thing he said to me was that a baby was born.

At that time, I didn't dare to resist, and would always be submissive in front of him. But after hearing his words, my entire being seemed to have gone crazy, grabbing and hitting him on the sofa, while Yu Jin just sat there and hugged me, allowing me to go crazy. I went to the back and cried in his arms.

I kept asking him what to do. I was pregnant.

At that time, I was in an incomparable state of despair and fear. I had no other ideas, so Yu Jin held me in his arms and repeatedly kissed my face to say that I was born.

Unfortunately, that child didn't have the chance to be born into this world. Not long after, before Yu Jin even had the chance to reveal his cards to my parents, the child suddenly flowed.

When I stood here a few years later, the only difference was that no one ever looked at me with strange eyes, and the doctor didn't ask me any unpleasant questions. Instead, he gave me a pregnancy test and told me to go to the bathroom and come back here.

After I went to the washroom, I used the pregnancy test paper to test it out before taking the results with me. The doctor looked at it over and over in his hand, but she still said, "You're pregnant."

This is what I already knew. I only came today to confirm that the doctor, seeing that my face was unsteady, had asked me to confirm once again that I had gone down for a B-scan.

I quickly got the results and headed for the doctor's office. When I gave her the results, she looked at it for a long time. After she read it, she said, "There are signs of an abortion. The child has been here for two months."

I frowned. "But I had my period the month before."

The doctor asked, "How many days did your period last?"

I thought about the day I shared a room with Yu Jin, and how the second day had suddenly stopped. "Two days," I said.

"It's not a period," said the doctor. "It's uterine bleeding from an unstable fetal image, and I don't recommend you keep it."

She gave me a few short sentences and then passed the results back to me. She said to the person who was waiting for me, "Next."

I don't know why, but the moment was light and heavy, and I tore up all the checklists. Then, he threw it into the trash can and took a taxi to another hospital. When he reached the old man's sickroom, he fell into a deep sleep. The sickroom was peaceful and only the clock was ticking.

I sat there looking at him for a while. Just as I was about to get up and leave, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me. I immediately stopped and looked at him.

The old man said, "I've thought about it …" "Is that so?"

This time his voice was weaker than it had been the last time I answered his question. "I've thought about it," I said.

The old man replied, "And the results?"

I said, "I don't regret it."

The old man seemed to have already thought about what decision I would make, so the moment I said it, he was surprised, because the answer I gave was different from what he had expected.

He looked at me fixedly. He still didn't believe that I would choose such an outcome. I repeated, "I don't regret it."

The old man saw the determination in my eyes and knew that I wasn't joking. He nodded his head in relief and said, "Alright, since you still want to choose this path. "Then don't regret it."

The old man coughed a few times and said, "After I die, you just need to follow Jiang Hua's instructions and do what he says. I also gave the will and the share transfer letters to the lawyer.

After he finished speaking, he did not speak anymore. He covered his greyish white mouth and coughed again. This time, it was all bloody phlegm. The old man glanced at his palm and quickly closed it.

I sat there with him for a while, and not long after, Wu Xia came to visit the old man. She was a bit surprised that I was there, but she didn't say anything, so she just greeted him and asked how he was doing as usual. The old man nodded, and said tiredly that everything was fine.

Wu Xia's mouth was very sweet. She pulled at the old man's blanket and smiled: "I just asked the doctor how you are today. The doctor said that you had recovered quite a bit today, and I believe that you will be able to leave the hospital after a period of rest. "

The old man laughed and said: "I wanted to leave the hospital for the past few days, so I went to find Jiang Hua and had him send me off three times in three days. That is my home after all, so staying in the hospital everyday is nothing."

Hearing this, Wu Xia frowned, and she said: "Grandfather — —"

She hadn't even finished speaking when I, who was sitting there without moving, suddenly rushed out of my chair. Just as I was about to head in the direction of the washroom, before I could reach the door, Yu Jin pushed the door open and walked in. I looked at him and didn't even have the chance to say a word.

Seeing that Yu Jin had arrived, Wu Xia immediately followed me into the washroom. He patted my back with great concern, and asked me if I had a cold, and if I should go see a doctor.

But when Wu Xia's words came out, she looked at me as I retched in the sink. The hand on my back faltered slightly.

When I raised my face from the washbasin and gasped for breath, I immediately saw Yu Jin standing behind me in the mirror. My exhausted body abruptly tensed up at that moment.

When Wu Xia placed her hand on my back, she clearly felt the change in my body. Her hand slowly slid down my back, and the concern on her face slowly disappeared in the midst of this silence.
