The moment He Yinhua turned around, Jiang Xuan took her hand.

She was stunned, looked at the fair hand, covered her mouth, and tears streamed down her face again.

“Xuanxuan…”

Jiang Xuan smiled gently at her and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll take you to eat."

He Yinhua choked up and couldn't speak.

Her chest was in severe pain.

But she felt very happy.

She never dared to hope that her HyunHyun would take her hand on her own initiative.

“Xuanxuan, I…”

Jiang Xuan said gently, "Don't think about the past anymore. You need to learn to be good to yourself. Look how thin you've become. There's a noodle shop and a stir-fry restaurant over there. What would you like to eat?"

"Xuanxuan, do you really not hate your mother anymore?"

Jiang Xuan shook her head. "I don't hate you. I was too young and ignorant before. Now I know that you must have had a lot of suffering all these years."

He Yinhua's tears increased.

"Let's go eat first, and chat while we eat."

Jiang Xuan took her hand and walked across the street.

They went into a noodle shop.

At this time, there weren't many people in the noodle shop, so they found a seat by the window.

Jiang Xuan ordered two bowls of zha jiang mian (noodles with soybean paste) and added an egg.

The noodles arrived quickly.

She pushed the bowl with the egg in front of He Yinhua and said, "Eat up."

"Xuanxuan, I don't want the egg, you eat the egg." He Yinhua picked up the egg and tried to put it in Jiang Xuan's bowl.

"No need, I already ate this morning, you go ahead and eat."

As Jiang Xuan ate her noodles, she asked, "You said you've been living in Hexi all these years, right?"

"Yes. After I was kicked out of the Jiang family, your maternal grandparents didn't want me to stay at my parents' home either. Later, I met Lao Liu. Although he was more than 20 years older than me, he treated me well. Later, he went to Hexi to find work, so I went with him."

"Why did you come back? Will you go again in the future?"

He Yinhua put down her chopsticks and shook her head. "Old Liu was seriously ill a while ago and said he wanted to return to his roots, so we brought him back."

As for the future.

Does she even have a future?

Jiang Xuan had probably already guessed that Old Liu was probably dead, so she changed the subject, "Then how did you know I was at Ningzhou University?"

He Yinhua seemed to have some difficulty breathing. She patted her chest and said, "I ran into your aunt at the county hospital a few days ago, and she told me this."

"Her? What's she doing at the hospital?"

"It seems your uncle fell and is in the hospital. Xuanxuan, your uncle and aunt raised you, so when you start earning money in the future, you must go back to visit them more often."

Perhaps because they spent too little time together, He Yinhua didn't seem to understand the couple's character.

However, she didn't quite understand why Yang Shuying wanted the original owner's mother to come find her.

Isn't she afraid that she'll reveal the whole truth?

He Yinhua had already eaten half a bowl of noodles when suddenly her chopsticks paused slightly, she put her hand to her forehead, and her face turned pale.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xuan put down her chopsticks and stood up abruptly.

He Yinhua did not answer. Her body swayed slightly, and then she fell to the ground.

Jiang Xuan was taken aback and rushed over, asking loudly, "What's wrong with you?"

The guests at the two surrounding tables turned to look, and someone exclaimed, "Oh no, someone has fainted!"

The shop owner rushed out of the kitchen, looking terrified: "What are we going to do now?"

Jiang Xuan shouted, "Master, is there a hospital nearby?"

Just then, Lin Che walked in with his hands in his pockets.

Upon seeing her, Jiang Xuan rushed over as if she had seen a savior, grabbing his arm and saying, "You're a medical student, right? Please help me, my mom has fainted."

Lin Che looked at his arm and frowned.

His gaze swept quickly across the scene before he strode toward He Yinhua.

"Move aside."

Lin Che and Jiang Xuan laid He Yinhua flat, then squatted down beside her and quickly checked her vital signs.

He pressed his ear against her chest, listened carefully for a few seconds, and then touched her carotid artery.

She has stopped breathing.

Jiang Xuan didn't dare to blink, keeping a close eye on Lin Che's movements.

“Don’t be nervous,” he said to Jiang Xuan. “Let me check the situation first.”

Lin Che bent down and unbuttoned He Yinhua's collar.

He noticed that her face was cyanotic, indicating severe oxygen deprivation.

He looked at Jiang Xuan, "She needs CPR."

Because of his interest in medicine, he took a basic life support course during the summer vacation, which came in handy now.

He placed one hand on the lower part of He Yinhua's sternum, and his expression changed.

Jiang Xuan asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Lin Che shook his head, placed his other hand on top of it, kept his arm straight, and used his body weight to press rhythmically.

At the same time, he began to give her artificial respiration.

Press for every 30 presses, then blow out two breaths, repeating the cycle.

His movements were clean, efficient, and methodical, his eyes fixed on He Yinhua's face, observing her reaction.

Jiang Xuan was in a state of confusion. She knew that Lin Che was just a freshman with no clinical experience.

But she really had no other choice at the moment.

Unlike in later times, we can't call 120 now, and there are no taxis outside.

After about six rounds of CPR, He Yinhua's eyes twitched slightly, and then she began to twitch gently.

Lin Che, covered in sweat, shouted, "Quick! Go to the medical school and find Professor Wang. He can contact the Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University." While continuing to press on her, he told the others, "Remember, you absolutely cannot move her at this time."

Jiang Xuan quickly ran towards the school.

Professor Wang was conducting an experiment when he heard that Jiang Xuan's mother needed medical attention. He immediately called the affiliated hospital and then arranged for a school bus from their medical school, which was used to transport experimental equipment, to take He Yinhua to the hospital.

In the restaurant, He Yinhua gradually regained consciousness.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a stranger's face, but one full of concern.

Her eyes darted around, but she didn't see Jiang Xuan. She hurriedly tried to turn over.

Unfortunately, she was too weak, and her struggle was ultimately futile.

Lin Che gently helped her up and said, "Sit on the bench and rest for a while."

Where is HyunHyun?

"She went to the school to talk to the teacher. Auntie, don't worry. The most important thing is to go to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible."

He Yinhua gave a bitter smile. How could she let her Xuanxuan know that she would soon die?

She said, "Thank you, child. I know my situation; I'm anemic. Please tell Xuanxuan not to bother the teacher anymore. I'm not going to the hospital."

Lin Che frowned. "How can that be? Your sudden fainting can't just be a problem of anemia."

He paused for a moment, then added, "And when I was doing CPR on you just now, I noticed lumps on your chest. You really need to get this checked out."

Just then, Jiang Xuan ran in, breathless, shouting, "Quick, the school bus! The school bus is outside!"
