Qiu Hu arrived at A Yi's residence early in the morning, but strangely, she wasn't up yet, as she usually got up very early. Then he thought about it and realized she was injured and probably still resting.
Qiu Hu was about to go upstairs when A Yi happened to come down. She was taken aback when she saw him. "You're back? Has everything been resolved?"
"It's all resolved," Qiu Hu briefly explained the situation to her. "They've all returned, but they're in the hospital."
"It's not serious, is it?"
"It's not serious, I think he'll wake up soon! Ayi, how are you? Didn't you say you had something to tell me?" Qiu Hu cut to the chase.
"Huh?" Ayi suddenly remembered that she had told her she would tell her when she got back, but now she suddenly didn't want to talk about it. "It's nothing, it's just that that person hit me, and I couldn't help but hit back!"
Qiu Hu was still somewhat skeptical, staring intently at A Yi, trying to find a flaw in her face, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ayi seemed to doubt her, so he changed his tone, which was no different from before, "Oh, I'm telling the truth, don't you believe me? I only said that last time so that you could leave sooner."
Qiu Hu still felt something was off and asked suspiciously, "You're not hiding something from me, are you?"
"No, nothing's wrong! Didn't you tell me anything else after you came back? You kept asking me what happened!"
"Alright!" Qiu Hu temporarily believed what she said.
Seeing that Qiu Hu was no longer staring at her, she felt relieved and started talking to her, but she kept avoiding the topic of what happened on Lake Creek Island that day.
Qiu Hu asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk, but A Yi refused, which aroused Qiu Hu's suspicions again.
In the end, Qiu Hu left without saying anything, his mind heavy with worry. On his way home, he ran into Wei Zhouyu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Wei Zhouyu was the first to notice her and called her name twice before she reacted, calling out, "Sister Ahu."
Qiu Hu looked toward the source of the sound, "Zhou Yu, why are you back?" Wei Zhou Yu should be looking after the house in Qincheng.
“It was Sister Yi who told me to come back, and all the people watching us had left this morning, so I rushed back.”
Qiu Hu thought that since the Colin family had been defeated, those people should have left. At the same time, she grasped the key point: "Did A-Yi ask you to come back?"
"Yes, I'm planning to go find her now!"
Did she say what she wanted to see you about?
She said she missed me!
"Then you can go ahead first!"
The two parted ways and walked in different directions.
Qiu Hu still felt something was wrong, so he found the doctor who had treated A Yi, the female doctor that Qiu Hu had specially found for her last time.
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
"What exactly happened to Ayi? You're her doctor, did she tell you anything?"
"She didn't tell me, but didn't she tell you?" the female doctor asked tentatively.
"Just say what you have to say, don't test me!" Qiu Hu saw her timidity and guessed that A Yi didn't want her to speak.
The female doctor stammered for a long time without explaining clearly.
Qiu Hu couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Tell me everything you know!"
The female doctor was so frightened that she took a few steps back. "Besides the injuries on her body, she was also assaulted... I thought about finding her a psychologist, but she refused."
"What? Are you telling the truth?" Qiu Hu's heart sank when he heard this.
"It's absolutely true, miss, I wouldn't dare lie to you."
The doctor left, leaving Qiu Hu alone in the room. She didn't know what to do. Should she go see A Yi? She already knew about those things; no wonder A Yi killed Joey.
That Joey, he really deserves to die!
Her expression darkened. She sat in the room for two hours before receiving a call from A-Yi. His voice was colder than ever before: "You already know, don't you?"
"I see."
"I don't want you to know," A-Yi's voice came through the receiver again.
"I'm coming to find you now," Qiu Hu said, hanging up the phone and heading to A Yi's place.
She came to Ayi's house again, and this time, Ayi sat quietly on the sofa waiting for her.
"Ayi," Qiu Hu called softly.
"You've come!"
Upon seeing Ayi, she was speechless! Especially when she saw Ayi's expression, which looked more like a grimace than a cry.
Before he could even speak, A-Yi interrupted, "Actually, you don't need to say anything. Killing him is enough!"
"Ayi, I'm sorry!" Qiu Hu walked over and hugged her.
"Silly, I'm really fine!"
That night, Qiu Hu stayed with her for a long time, saying many positive things before leaving. But late at night, A Yi finally fell asleep, only to be awakened again by a nightmare, her cries unstoppable. She couldn't remember how many times this had happened; she only knew that the nightmares were all the same—the disgusting things that man had done to her that night. She couldn't resist; helplessness seeped into her bones, refusing to dissipate, leaving her utterly desperate.
Sometimes she really wanted to end it all, but she knew she couldn't.
Three days later, Qiu Jing and his wife were finally discharged from the hospital and returned home. They were extremely happy, finally no longer having to live in hiding. They would stay here for a while longer before returning to Qincheng.
"Ah Hu, invite Ah Yi and the others over for dinner tonight!" Zhao Yan'er started preparing a big meal again.
"good".
That evening, Qiu Hu invited A Qian, A Yi, and Wei Zhouyu to dinner. Qiu Jing and his wife hadn't eaten with so many people in a long time, and they even had a few drinks in their happiness.
Laughter filled the room after a long time, and even A-Yi, who hadn't laughed in a long time, burst out laughing.
It was quite late when the dinner ended, and everyone went home. After settling their parents in, Qiu Hu and his siblings went to their rooms to rest.
Ning Yizhan has been rarely in touch these past few days. Qiu Hu was afraid of bothering him, so he didn't take the initiative to contact him either. Only now is he asking about his situation.
Qiu Hu: How are things going on your end? When will you be back?
Ning Yizhan: You miss me? Soon, probably in the next couple of days.
Qiu Hu couldn't resist making a call, but Ning Yizhan hung up on him. "What do you mean?"
Just as I was about to ask him, he sent me a message.
Ning Yizhan: I'm not available to answer the phone right now, I'll be back later.
Okay, Qiu Hu thought he should stop chatting, but Ning Yizhan kept sending messages.
Qiu Hu: Isn't it inconvenient?
Ning Yizhan: It's inconvenient for me to answer the phone, not that it's inconvenient for me to chat.
...
The two talked for a long time until Qiu Hu fell asleep, then they stopped.
The next morning, Qiu Hu was woken up by a phone call. When he answered, it was Wei Zhouyu, whose voice was punctuated by sobs.
"Sister, Sister Yi committed suicide!"
