Chapter 116 If He Comes to Redeem You, Who Will Redeem Him?
Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat.
He slowly took the medical record, lowered his eyes and stared at the black and white words on it, falling speechless.
"Xiao Lin, I don't know who sent me this case, but judging from your reaction, it must be true, right? Child, schizophrenia is a very serious mental illness. You...how could you have this disease at such a young age?"
Lin Yan lowered her head, not knowing what Mr. Xing was looking at her at the moment.
But I unexpectedly heard a hint of heartache in his voice.
She held the medical records in her hands and pleaded, "Grandpa... please don't tell Xing Yu about this..."
Mr. Xing frowned and remained silent for a while, then he regained his usual solemnity and spoke slowly.
"Xiao Lin, after talking to you last time, I think you're a good kid. You have high emotional intelligence, speak clearly, and are neither humble nor arrogant. I'm happy that A Yu has found such a good girlfriend. But..."
"But I really can't accept your illness... I'm Ayu's grandfather. I raised him since he was a child. I hope he has a happy family in the future and I hope he can marry a healthy girl."
"Can you... understand what Grandpa means?"
Every word Mr. Xing said gently and harshly scratched her heart membrane.
How could she not understand?
But leaving Xing Yu is more painful than death for her now...
She only has Xing Yu.
He is the only one left...
She looked up at Master Xing seriously, humbler than dust.
"Grandpa, I will treat my illness well... I haven't been sick for two or three years... I'm just too tired recently, so... Please believe me, I will definitely work hard to cure it... and won't drag him down..."
Mr. Xing is an emotional person.
I also feel sorry for this sensible child in front of me.
But no parent would agree to let their child be with a mentally ill person.
Although he was firm in his attitude, his words were not harsh at all. He tried his best to persuade her with tactful words.
"Child, you should know better than me how difficult it is to cure your disease. I have been learning about schizophrenia these past two days, and I am thinking that if it can be cured in a short period of time, I will tacitly allow you and Ayu to be together."
"But schizophrenia is a very serious mental disorder. When it occurs, there will be delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking, depression and anxiety, and even uncontrollable harm or suicide. It requires long-term medication and rehabilitation treatment, and 10 to 30 percent of people are completely incurable."
"I can't take the risk of letting Ayu become a victim of your illness. If he really stays with you, he will inevitably experience all the negative emotions and unpredictable consequences when you are ill, and he will be very tired."
"Besides, schizophrenia can be hereditary. If you really start a family and give birth to an unhealthy child, wouldn't that be a sin?"
"Child, please forgive my selfishness. I also hope you can understand my feelings. A-Yu has had a hard life since childhood. If he comes to save you, who will save him?"
"The most important thing for you right now is to heal your illness, not to fall in love. I'll give you time to sort out your relationship with Ayu. Of course, grandpa still likes you very much. If you have any difficulties, feel free to contact me. No matter what, grandpa will do his best to help you."
"You're a smart child. You should know when to stop talking about many things. Grandpa won't say more. If you really love A Yu, you should know exactly what to do..."
…
On the way back from Xing's house, Lin Yan said she was very sleepy and closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car.
She didn't dare to make eye contact with Xing Yu, fearing that he would see through her heart.
Along the way, she kept thinking over and over again about what Mr. Xing had just said to her.
No matter how much she didn't want to be separated from Xing Yu, she had to admit that those words were cruel but true.
She was like a dilapidated weed growing on the top of a cliff, and she would break at any time if the breeze blew gently.
If Xing Yuruo insisted on picking them, the consequence would be that he and she would fall off the cliff together.
Her illness has relapsed now. If she ever has delusions or does something hurtful, it will really hurt him.
It seemed that she was the selfish one all along.
Xing Yu, you clearly deserve better.
She regretted it...
You shouldn't indulge in despair, you shouldn't be greedy, and you shouldn't disrupt his life.
That night, she thought a lot and finally made the painful decision.
The next day, Xing Yu prepared breakfast for her as usual.
But she deliberately didn't eat and went straight to the company.
At the end of the day, she didn't answer Xing Yu's calls or reply to his messages.
In the afternoon, she sent a text message to Song Yanzheng, asking him to have dinner at the restaurant opposite the company in the evening.
And told Su Xin about this.
Based on her understanding of Xing Yu, she would definitely ask Su Xin if she couldn't contact her.
She was certain that Xing Yu would come to Yishuo to pick her up tonight.
She left work half an hour early and went to the restaurant opposite the company to find a conspicuous seat by the window.
Soon, Song Yanzheng arrived.
He looked flattered: "Yan Yan, why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal?"
Lin Yan: "I misunderstood you about the photo. I'm sorry."
Song Yanzheng didn't care: "Yan Yan, have you gone to see Dr. Hou? What did he say?"
Lin Yan was about to respond when she saw Xing Yu's car parked across the street through the corner of the window.
She looked at Song Yanzheng: "Come sit next to me."
Song Yanzheng's eyes flashed with surprise, thinking he had misheard: "Yan Yan, what did you say?"
Lin Yan repeated: "Come here and sit next to me."
Song Yanzheng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sat next to her.
The moment he sat down, Lin Yan glanced out the window without leaving a trace. After making sure that Xing Yu had gotten out of the car, she suddenly reached out and hugged Song Yanzheng.
Song Yanzheng was stunned. Faced with Lin Yan's embrace, he seemed a little at a loss.
"Yan Yan...you..."
"Don't move." Lin Yan said indifferently, "And don't talk either."
This ambiguous posture lasted for nearly a minute. Lin Yan let go of her hand only after she was sure that the gaze from behind was coming through.
Song Yanzheng observed her expression, which showed neither joy nor anger, and felt that her behavior today was very unusual.
"Yan Yan, what are you doing?"
Lin Yan: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just using you as a tool."
She knew how devoted Xing Yu was to her.
If I break up with him directly, he will definitely not agree.
The past ten years between her and Song Yanzheng had always been a source of fear in his heart.
Taking advantage of Song Yanzheng and making him misunderstand is the cruelest but most effective way.
Sure enough, when she turned her gaze out the window again, both the man and the car were gone.
"Yan Yan, what are you looking at?" Song Yanzheng continued to ask: "What did you mean by what you just said? I don't understand."
"No need to understand." Lin Yan stood up: "The dishes have been ordered and the bill has been paid. Please eat. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Song Yanzheng just stood up.
Lin Yan spoke to stop him: "Don't follow me."
After saying that, Lin Yan walked out of the restaurant.
The evening breeze blows towards me, bringing with it the warmth of spring.
But her whole body was shivering with cold.
Wandering aimlessly on the street, my heart felt like it was sinking into an ice cellar...
I don’t know how long it took.
The cell phone rang.
Looking at the three words "follower" on the phone screen.
The phone rang for a long time before she picked up: "What's wrong?"
"Ayan, it's time to go home." His tone was the same as usual, without a trace of unhappiness or strangeness.
"Something's going on."
"What's up?"
"Having dinner outside with colleagues."
There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft voice.
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs in the community..."
