Chapter 34 Something happened. I can do anything for you.

I don’t know why it has been raining so much in Singapore recently. The sound of the rain in the middle of the day is so loud that it is impossible to take a nap. Moreover, the doll that Yu Han put on the balcony to bask in the sun in the morning was accidentally wet by the rain.

"The weather forecast clearly said it would be sunny today!" She was furious and rushed to the balcony to rescue her doll.

After carrying the baby in and placing it on the sofa, Yu Han knelt on the ground and used a tissue to soak up the water from the baby.

"Wow, how can we put this in the dryer? I hope it won't break." Yu Han went out sadly, carrying her dolls.

Looking down the hallway, I saw my aunt pruning a potted plant downstairs. She leaned over the fence and asked, "Auntie, can this be dried? It's very wet from the rain."

The mother who was reading the financial newspaper in the living room and the aunt who was working both looked up at the second floor.

Auntie said, "It should be okay. Just bake it a little longer." She put down the scissors and walked up the stairs.

Mom said as she drank her coffee, "It's been raining a lot lately, so don't take it out."

"Never again!"

Mom smiled and asked, "Were these dolls given to you by your friends for your birthday last year?"

Yu Han: "And my mother bought it for me."

Mom: "Who gave you the other ones? They're not cheap."

“It was given to me by a friend in China.”

"Or your friends back home? Your classmates?"

"Well, no, we almost became classmates, but didn't I run away at the last minute?"

"Then how did you get to know such a good friend who kept sending you express deliveries and giving you such expensive gifts after you left the country?"

"Hmm..." Yu Han stammered, "It's just that we did have a pretty good relationship before. I still kept in touch with him even after I went abroad, and I also gave him a birthday present. So, it was a give-and-take thing."

"Really?"

Afraid that her mother would ask more questions, Yu Han followed the Filipino maid to the laundry room.

The aunt stuffed her dolls into the dryer, closed the door, and walked out a few steps to find Yu Han still standing there.

"Aren't you leaving, Hanhan?"

"I'm watching."

"Don't look at it, it's two hours."

“…”

Yu Han went back to her room bored, fell into the chair in front of the desk, and turned around in circles in boredom.

Suddenly, the cell phone on the desk vibrated.

She tilted her head and glanced.

Qin: "Are you busy, Hanhan?"

Yu Han suddenly perked up, picked up her phone and quickly typed: "Are you home?"

Qin Yi: "We're here."

Yu Han happily called him.

"Hanhan?"

The familiar sound entered my ears, dispelling the irritation brought by the noisy rain in midsummer.

Yu Han was very happy: "Wow, wow, wow, congratulations on finally ending the long journey. You're back home after all the hardship. I'm so happy."

Qin Yi's lips curled up. She knew he was bored out there, and although she didn't know why he cared so much about the upcoming competition, she knew he was under pressure, so that was the first thing he said when the call was connected.

The little princess will feel sorry for him unconsciously.

Yu Han: "Of course, more importantly, congratulations to someone for winning two awards. That's amazing!"

Qin Yi’s smile deepened: “Your internet speed is really fast, didn’t Shen Ze tell you that?”

"Wow, your awards ceremony was on the 30th, and now it's the 1st. Even if I have 2G internet speed, I can't be two days late. I can check it myself!"

Qin Yi was overjoyed.

"Don't you want to take a rest? Can you make a phone call now?" Yu Han was worried.

Qin Yi collapsed into a chair in his study, enjoying the cool breeze, his body and mind filled with joy. "No need. I slept on the plane. Besides, I haven't had a good talk with you in a while, and I haven't been with you lately."

Yu Han felt a sudden pang of pain in her eyes after hearing this. For half a month, the phone calls were like a rainstorm, intermittent, intermittent, the longest being twenty minutes, the shortest only three minutes. The time difference in text chats was even more obvious. It would always take seven or even more than ten hours after sending a message before receiving a reply from either party.

So being in a different place is really difficult.

Thinking that he was now free and resting at home, Yu Han couldn't help but talk about the problem that had been bothering her for a long time recently.

"You, um, I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you."

"Huh? So serious."

When the words came to my lips, I was a little hesitant to ask, thinking that I was just asking a question with an answer.

"That's you, behind..."

"Hmm? What's behind?"

"Later, which school are you going to? You should have decided by now."

There was silence on the line for a few seconds. Yu Han felt inexplicably flustered, and her heartbeat suddenly increased significantly during those few seconds.

A moment later, a familiar and pleasant voice entered my ears, calm and composed, "I'm not sure yet, Hanhan, whatever. It's fine."

"casual?"

"Yes. My roommate asked me about it when I was in the UK, and I said I wasn't sure yet." His voice was so calm that it gradually soothed Yu Han's confusion.

"Don't you have a favorite school?" Yu Han asked curiously, "For example, a school in Taipei."

“It’s too far.”

"Ah..." Yu Han never thought that he would consider distance when choosing a school. "Far?"

"I told you, my family only has my grandparents."

Yu Han paused for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. "Oh, yes, you said... Well, what then? Are you considering studying directly in Lan City?" She was a little surprised. "Lan University is not bad either. It's about the same as the two top universities in Bei City. Yeah, that's fine too."

Qin Yi: "I can also go to Singapore."

"ah……"

Yu Han was so shocked that she was completely speechless.

This option was something she had never included from the beginning to the end.

Her analysis to him has always been that he can either go to the two top universities in Taipei or study abroad, to the United States or the United Kingdom, or any prestigious school he wants.

Of course, she hopes that he can study in China so that the distance between them will not be too far. If he goes abroad, she can also work hard to pass the exam so that they can study together, but she thinks she needs to discuss it with her parents.

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and composed. "Really? Singapore is fine, too. You know the National University of Singapore is just as prestigious as the one in Taipei. Besides, you should study there. Wait a few days while I discuss this with my family, and then I'll discuss it with you, Hanhan, okay?"

"Don't," Yu Han said subconsciously, "Please don't discuss it. You must not go to Singapore to study. Your question is invalid. You said that Taipei is too far and you can't take care of your grandparents. But even if you fly to Taipei, it's only two hours. How about Singapore? It takes five and a half hours."

Qin Yi coughed lightly and said, "My "far" also includes you, Hanhan."

"I, I..." Yu Han was a little shy, "I'm sorry, I just realized when I thought about it this year that I can't get into a school in China at all, so I can only study in Hong Kong."

"It's okay," Qin Yi comforted her, "I'll think about it. You don't need to come back."

"Don't even think about it. We can't possibly study together." She puffed out her cheeks sadly, buried her head in the desk, and said in a muffled voice, "I already knew the outcome. So I just hope you study in China so we can be closer."

Qin Yi could hear her depressed mood and subconsciously said, "How could that be? I can apply for Singapore."

"No." Yu Han raised her head and subconsciously said to the phone, "I was recommended in China. Applying to a school here is too troublesome. It's not worth it."

Qin Yi was stunned, and it took him two seconds to come back to his senses. "How can it be unworthy? You are here, Hanhan. It's just an application. Do you think I should be worried about not being accepted?"

He used to think that he had to win a prize, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go to the medical school he wanted, and his teachers wouldn't agree to let him give up the recommendation and choose a major that required the college entrance examination;

But now that he has won the award, he realizes that he doesn’t have to study in the country, and he wants to be with her.

"No, you can get in but it's not worth it, no." Yu Han completely, totally could not accept that he, a person sought after by famous domestic schools, had worked so hard to apply to a school in Singapore. Although the National University of Singapore was the best in Asia, the gold medal he won was of little use in this matter and could only play a supporting role.

When she thought of this, she felt that all the hard work and boredom he had endured while working non-stop abroad for the past half month was in vain, all in vain, because of her.

"It's better for us to live apart. It's not like we haven't lived apart before," she said.

Qin Yi tried to speak calmly, "I can't hide it from you, Hanhan. I've indeed recently considered that there's a 50% chance that we should study separately, but there's also a 50% chance that we won't need to. I'll just discuss it with my family. Since you can accept living apart, I'll give it some thought and tell you later, okay?"

"No!" Yu Han told him what she had just thought, asking him not to let his efforts go to waste.

Qin Yi didn't think it was necessary to consider this at all: "It's a waste, so what? It doesn't mean that without this award, I will lose the ability to win awards. It doesn't matter, Hanhan."

"Stop talking. I don't agree. If you keep thinking about this, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go to class."

Qin Yi was speechless and glanced at the time in the upper right corner of her phone. It was still early, far from her afternoon class.

But he never expected that the two would have an argument when talking about this topic.

When was the last time things were this bad? It was New Year's Eve 2016, when they were both in Kuala Lumpur. She discovered his Instagram account, after six months of silence, and set out to settle scores.

Qin Yi sighed softly and said gently, "Hanhan, before we started chatting, were you sure that we were in different places? If so, why did you ask me?"

Yu Han blurted out, "Because I was thinking that you might go to Europe or the United States to study abroad, then I could do the same. I forgot you once said that there was someone at home who needed to be taken care of."

Qin Yi was quiet for a moment.

Yu Han felt very anxious in this silence and regretted saying it out loud. She felt that she had created an absolutely difficult problem for him.

He could come to Singapore for her, but going to Europe or America was too far...

She hadn't meant to embarrass him.

She took a deep breath and was about to speak, but unexpectedly the voice inside came out before her.

In the scorching heat of August, the boy's voice flowed out slowly and gently through the mobile phone on the desk in the room.

"I can go out too, Hanhan."

At worst, he can let his grandparents go to Singapore to be taken care of by his parents. He hardly needs to discuss these things with his family. In fact, his parents and the elders will support him 100%.

He had always thought that he didn't want to go too far, so he had never thought about studying abroad.

He said, "I just think America is too far away. Your family wouldn't agree, Hanhan."

"Stop joking. You just thought Beicheng was too far away." Yu Han no longer considered this place.

Qin Yi: "It's a bit far, but after discussing it with my family, it's not impossible."

"no."

“Then let’s go to Singapore.”

"No. If you want to come to Singapore, just go to the United States directly. You don't know which one is worth choosing. Please don't joke with your future. I can't be responsible!" Yu Han was furious.

Qin Yi laughed angrily, "What are you talking about? I just really think that your parents won't agree to you going to the United States, Hanhan, otherwise I can definitely handle this matter."

"Why not?"

Qin Yi: "Why did you go to study in Singapore? Even back then you had grandparents and relatives in China. If you go to the United States, you'll be all alone, with no one to take care of you. Your safety won't be guaranteed, and your family won't be able to quickly show up if something goes wrong."

"Wow, you've been talking for so long, but what are you? Air, classmate Qin Yi? You don't care whether I live or die."

"..." Qin Yi paused, coughing softly again to ease the awkwardness. Finally, he said distressedly, "Could you tell your parents that you want to apply to American schools, that you're not afraid of being alone, and that you have a boyfriend who will take care of you? And this boyfriend, he's been with you for several years."

“…”

Yu Han had never felt so desperate in her life.

Ahhhhhhhh!

Crazy, crazy!

"I shouldn't have become a new citizen at this time, otherwise I could have applied to a domestic university." Yu Han summed up the reasons for the culprit.

Qin Yi said lightly, "You need to take the college entrance examination to study in China. Even if you don't become a citizen, I won't agree."

"Why???"

"It's unnecessary, and you're just asking for trouble. It's like you think I gave up my recommendation to apply to the University of Singapore. I don't agree."

"..." Yu Han said, "It's fine as long as I agree. You didn't listen to a word I said anyway."

"Say it again." He then added, "Forget it, you can't take the college entrance examination now anyway."

“…”

Yu Han calmed down and said, "Qin Yi, then we have to go our separate ways."

Him: “Hmm???”

"snort."

Qin Yi comforted her and told her to stay calm and that he would think about it first.

Yu Han also didn't have the ability to argue to a conclusion at this moment. She couldn't just not talk about the university matters and first confirm with him that you go your way and I go mine, right?

So there was no choice but to put the matter on hold for the time being. In fact, she felt that putting it on hold was already the end of it.

Anyway, she wouldn't allow him to come to Singapore... What a waste, pure waste! Either they go to the US together or stay as they are, that would be the best.

Her doll was not dry until she was leaving for school in the afternoon.

Before leaving, she told her aunt to take it back to her room and put it on the bed after it dried.

Auntie agreed.

Her mother laughed at her for being so old and yet still worrying about a baby when she went out.

Yu Han simply felt a delicate state of mind. After getting in the car, she inexplicably asked her mother, "Mom, what do you think about me applying to study in the United States?"

Mom frowned. "What? America? You can't even leave your baby, how can you leave your parents?"

The driver in front laughed.

Yu Han muttered: "Well, it would be nice if someone were to accompany me. I wouldn't miss home anymore."

Ms. Xia Yue was curious: "Who can accompany you? Which of your classmates is preparing to take the US entrance exam? Is it Chen Cheng?"

“Domestic.”

"Do I know him?"

"I don't know him."

"Have you made an agreement with someone?"

"Um."

"No, I can't. You have such a special body. If you go so far, Mom will be worried all day. If you tell others that Mom and Dad don't agree, you can go to university in Singapore."

Yu Han closed the car door sadly: "I can't even take the exam to return to China now. Otherwise, I could also take the exam to study in China and not be so limited. I shouldn't have immigrated with you."

Ms. Xia stood outside the car and laughed, "Do you want freedom or life? You're homeless in China now, you know?"

"..." Yu Han said slowly, "Did you sell the house?"

"You can live if you have a house? Can you cook? Who will take care of you when you are all alone, you big fool."

“…”

Yu Han told the driver to leave quickly, or she would have a heart attack if she continued talking.

The rain was pouring down. My mother held an umbrella and went back to the house with my aunt. As they walked, she said, "This child wants to go to the United States to study. She is so brave, even though the sky is high and the emperor is far away."

Auntie said, "Maybe her classmates at school asked her."

"Someone in China chatted with her." Xia Yue didn't understand and laughed, "She's been studying abroad for almost two years, and she's still in touch with her classmates in China and even made plans to go to the United States together. No wonder she always wanted to go back to China during the holidays."

"yes."

"Mr.'s flight is probably going to be delayed in this weather. I'm going to take a nap. Mr., please call me when you come back."

"OK."

…

The road that normally takes about a quarter of an hour to reach school was blocked by heavy rain, and it took more than 25 minutes to get there.

The car was waiting at the traffic light, the rain was hitting the car window, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and the whole of Singapore was in chaos.

Yu Han collapsed into the back seat, feeling sleepy. "Why don't you take a day off today, Uncle? We can go back to where we are. Dad will be back from his business trip this afternoon, and I won't be able to see him right away."

The driver smiled and looked back at her: "We're almost there. See you tonight, see you tonight."

Yu Han closed her eyes: "Are we at Mariine Vista yet?"

Driver: "Uh, still at Marine Parade. Turning to Mariine Vista soon."

"well."

The driver laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's still early, we're not late. It's okay to be late in this weather, don't worry."

After waiting for a long time, the red light finally turned green in the heavy rain and the driver started the car.

Yu Han tilted her head and looked out through the glass boredly. She was thinking that her depressed mood had nothing to do with the weather. She couldn't blame the weather. It was because the topic of today's conversation made her unhappy.

They had already broken their promise and not been together, and they hadn't even been together in college. Could it be that she was upset because there was a high probability that their relationship would not be the same as it is now?

I always feel like it's going to break up at any moment.

She was uneasy, so sad.

The rain was so heavy that Yu Han lowered the car window a little to let the wind in. She then raised her hand to blow the little pygmy auk hanging on her fingertips toward the wind, while using her other hand to record a video with her mobile phone.

The driver turned around and said, "What are you doing, Hanhan? Get out of the rain."

"Record a video to show my friends how heavy the rain is in Singapore! It's unprecedented."

“…”

The driver laughed, "Why are you so upset about the rain today?"

"Because I'm in a bad mood."

After recording, Yu Han quickly rolled up the car window, otherwise she would be soaked in the car.

She messaged someone: "Look I'm about to be blown away."

Qin Yi received the video and replied to her: "You are so weak, please close the window quickly, ancestor, if you catch a cold or a fever, you will be dead."

Yu Han laughed and immediately said it was turned off.

I don’t know why, but my terrible mood suddenly improved at that moment, as if the rainstorm had stopped and the sun was shining brightly.

There was a car in the lane diagonally across from the intersection that was halfway around a turn. Perhaps it realized it had made the wrong turn, so it stopped in the middle of the intersection and then turned around and went straight.

Their car was going straight, and the other car hit them.

Yu Han looked out through the rain-blurred glass: "Uncle, look at that car. It wouldn't be so stupid as to stop in the middle and wait for us to pass before leaving."

The driver glanced at him and said, "That should be the case. It's not going to be a complete mess."

As a result, it turned out that the other party either couldn't see the road clearly, or they, the old man and the young man, overestimated these road killers.

"Uncle..." Yu Han immediately called for help and silently retreated into the car, "Why is there no sign of braking?" The brake lights are not on, it seems like it wants to kill someone.

Drivers are already taking action.

However, the cars next door were all going straight in the same direction, and the cars in front were moving slowly in the rain. It was like a dead end, with no way forward or backward.

The heavy downpour completely blurred Yu Han's vision. When she finally managed to see clearly, the car was almost zero distance away from them.

The car shook.

Maybe it was because the thunder was too loud, so I didn't feel how loud the sound of the two cars colliding was. It was just that at that moment, the world was spinning completely.

The little pygmy auk that Yu Han was playing with suddenly fell to the ground, and she also fell off the back seat.

The whole world was turned upside down in the sound of heavy rain, just like falling into the deep sea, making it impossible to tell east from west and north from south.

My body doesn’t hurt, it still doesn’t hurt.

But her muddled thoughts made Yu Han clearly aware of what had hit her head. Then something wet, not sure if it was rain or blood, flowed from her forehead into her eyes, just like the last time she was hit on the head by a beer bottle, making her like a blind person, unable to see people's faces clearly.

My whole body felt like it was falling apart and limp, but it didn't hurt.

No consciousness and no movement.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever Yu Han knew that a certain part of her body could not move, she would assume that she had a fracture.

This was the only way she could identify her physical injuries.

The rain poured into the car through the broken glass, which was a big problem. Yu Han got soaked.

I didn't expect the rain in August to be so cold.

The blood and rain mixed together and flowed into his eyes, making them feel sore, numb and uncomfortable, and the pain became more and more severe until he could no longer open them.

"Hanhan, Hanhan." The driver's difficult voice came from the front and he stretched out a hand to touch her.

She turned her back, buried her face in her arms, and did not move.

From the driver's perspective, the rain and blood mixed together and quickly spread along the little girl's snow-white arms and onto the ground where she was lying.

The little pygmy auk doll lay beneath her fingertips, its snow-white fur partly red.
