Liu Nian: "Now, how do you explain the matter of Su Ke School?"

System: "Just tell the truth! Aren't humans good at emotional communication?"

Liu Nian: "...It's not as simple as you say!"

But perhaps we could give it a try?

In the end, Liu Nian did not choose to go up, but instead drove away from the hospital.

Su Ke only remembered to check her phone after her grandmother had fallen asleep.

When I opened my phone, there were tons of messages from Xiao Yang, but not a single one from Liu Nian.

I couldn't help but feel disappointed for a while.

Open Xiao Yang's dialog box.

Xiao Yang: [Ake, what are you doing?]

Xiao Yang: [My older sister came to our school looking for a girl named Wang Xiaoxiao, I don't know what she wants.]

Xiao Yang: [My sister left by herself, where did you go? It's not safe for her to be out alone so late at night!]

Su Ke didn't reply to Xiao Yang's message, but instead called Liu Nian directly.

Liu Nian was driving and didn't even look at who it was when he received the call.

Because she was in a bad mood, her tone was also cold: "Hello! Who is this?"

Su Ke: "..."

Why is my sister suddenly so cold? Is she angry because he's been ignoring her for the past few hours?

"Sister, it's me! You're so cold!"

Liu Nian was surprised to hear from Su Ke; she assumed Su Ke would be too busy to check his phone.

"Susu, are you done with your work? How is Grandma?"

Liu Nian's tone softened, and Su Ke's anxiety subsided.

"Grandma is fine now, she just suffered a bit of a shock."

"Okay, then take good care of Grandma. Let me know if you need any help."

Su Ke gave a soft "hmm".

"Did your sister go see Wang Xiaoxiao tonight?"

Liu Nian didn't deny it; she had guessed that Xiao Yang wouldn't keep Su Ke in the dark: "Yeah, he went to her to collect the debt."

Su Ke paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"Xiao Yang said he couldn't find anyone. Did you go home afterwards?"

"Thanks to a friend's connections, I found him and got a beating. I was so angry, sob sob sob."

Liu Nian said this half-jokingly, with the aim of not letting Su Ke think too much.

The two chatted casually.

Su Ke didn't hang up the phone until Liu Nian arrived home, and only then did she reluctantly reply to Xiao Yang's message.

[So my partner hasn't run into any trouble, right?]

Xiao Yang was still awake and replied to the message instantly.

Xiao Yang: [It's okay, I'll keep an eye on things for you.]

Xiao Yang: [What are you busy with? You have class tomorrow.]

Su Ke: [I'm taking leave. My grandma is in the hospital, and my uncle can't make time. I need to see my grandma.]

Xiao Yang: [What! What happened to Grandma? Why didn't you tell me?!]

Which hospital is she in? I'll go see her tomorrow.

Su Ke: [People's Hospital]

Xiao Yang: [You little brat, don't you consider me a good brother anymore? You didn't even tell me when something happened.]

Su Ke didn't say anything because she was afraid Xiao Yang would worry.

Su Ke: [It's nothing serious]

Go to bed early.

The topic has ended.
