Therefore, after Zhu Penglin's parents returned from out of town and learned about the situation, they were very grateful to Shu Yuxiu and even took the initiative to recognize Shu Yuxiu as their godson.

The current scene depicts Shu Yuxiu meeting Zhu Penglin's parents at the hospital after Zhu Penglin's death.

Xiao He only had five minutes to adjust. He stood there with his eyes closed, carefully preparing his emotions. When the time was up, the assistant director next to him reminded Xiao He that he could start performing. Xiao He immediately showed his regret and pain on his face.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have let him go alone! I never expected this to happen—I'm so sorry!"

The young man knelt on the ground, pounding his thighs heavily with his hands, his whole body trembling slightly from the grief in his heart.

He raised his eyes, his gaze filled with sorrow as he looked at the "person" before him. It seemed he had heard the accusations and curses of Zhu Penglin's parents. His fingers, resting on his lap, tightened around his pants, his voice choked with emotion: "I know, I know, I know this happened so unexpectedly. If I could, I would also hope that Brother Penglin could stay healthy! But, but..."

His voice grew increasingly choked with emotion, until he could no longer utter a complete sentence. He hung his head in despair, his body swaying as if he were being beaten and cursed by Zhu's mother, who had lost her son.

The doctor, who was standing nearby, finally couldn't take it anymore and loudly berated Zhu Penglin's parents: "This child was the only one who came all the way from Dongcheng District after your child's car accident! What did he do wrong? By the time he arrived, everything had already happened! He was busy helping with the paperwork, and even took out all his savings to beg the doctor to save him a little longer. Where were you then? How dare you criticize him?"

Clearly, Zhu's parents had misunderstood. They thought Shu Yuxiu was one of the culprits behind Zhu Penglin's car accident, but now, after hearing the nurse's words, they realized that they had misunderstood the young man in front of them.

The young man turned his head slightly, and was helped to his feet. Listening to Mr. and Mrs. Zhu's apology, he shook his head somewhat frantically, then his face showed sorrow: "I know, although I'm not the main culprit this time, I've always accompanied Brother Penglin when he drives out. Only this time… I'm sorry to Brother Penglin, and I'm sorry to you all. If I had been in the car then… maybe all of this—"

Before the young man could finish speaking, he suddenly opened his arms and gently supported Zhu's mother, whose body had slumped in grief. He then looked anxiously at Zhu's father on the other side: "Uncle Zhu, this, this is—"

"Heart attack?"

He immediately looked regretful. "Brother Penglin mentioned it to me before, how could I forget! I'll go call the doctor right away!"

However, before he could leave, his hand was grabbed.

He turned his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Huh? No need? Is this really okay?"

The young man sniffed, barely suppressing the sadness in his heart. Only a few tears welled up in his deep eyes. He tried to soften his voice and said gently, "I hope you can take good care of yourselves. Brother Penglin probably wouldn't want to see you like this!"

Then he bent down slightly, carefully helped Mrs. Zhu up, and asked in a trembling, hoarse voice, "Aunt Zhu, shall I take you to rest for a bit?"

Seemingly having received confirmation from Zhu's mother, the young man's expression finally relaxed considerably, but his movements became even gentler as he slowly led the middle-aged woman, who was overwhelmed with grief over her son's death, out of the house. He even softened his breathing, as if handling a fragile object...

Only after they had walked more than halfway through the audition venue did Xiao He slowly stop supporting Xu Kong.

He took a deep breath, walked back to the center, and bowed slightly to the group of people sitting opposite him: "My performance is over."
