"Dr. Qin, no matter what... thank you."
Qin Yu smiled gently at her: "I've said before that I'm Yi Bei's brother, so there's no need to be so particular about me."
"..." Ji Zhinan pursed his lips: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"I'll take you," Qin Yu said immediately.
"No need," Ji Zhinan replied quickly.
"..."
Ji Zhinan nodded to him and left the hospital.
…………
The Porsche drove normally on the road, weaving through the bustling streets, heading straight south.
The light turned green, and Ji Zhinan stepped on the gas, pulling the car to the side of the road.
After turning off the car, Ji Zhinan unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned back in his seat.
She took the phone from the passenger seat, turned on the screen, and stared silently at the photo of herself and the old man.
[Nan Nan, if you're unhappy, you must tell Grandpa, okay? Grandpa hopes you can be happy every day, and happy for the rest of your life.]
[Silly child, you're so sensible, Grandpa will definitely take good care of himself. Grandpa's afraid that if he dies, he won't meet such a wonderful granddaughter as you in his next life.]
The old man's words echoed in my ears, and scenes flashed before my eyes, finally settling on that day in the lounge, where the old man was overcome with tears.
If you still consider me your grandfather, then forget everything. Like I said, I promised your mother I would take you away from that darkness, and never let you step into it again… Even if you hate me for the rest of your life, I will never utter a single word to you again.
The old man had lived most of his life, but today he knelt down before a junior like her.
She was his nightmare, causing him pain even in his deep sleep.
He feared nothing except himself...
[Nan Nan, Grandpa knows he was wrong, please don't abandon Grandpa...]
"..."
Suddenly, all her strength vanished, her phone slipped from her hand and fell somewhere, Ji Zhinan buried her head in the steering wheel, her shoulders trembling... she sobbed uncontrollably...
…………
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a rumble of thunder sounded outside. The bright daylight turned dark in less than a few minutes, with thick clouds covering the sky and a gloomy gray.
Immediately afterwards, large raindrops hit the windshield, making a pattering sound.
It started raining heavily outside, with torrential rain and thunder and lightning.
Ji Zhinan lay in the car, crying uncontrollably, looking as aggrieved as a child.
The cries mingled with the sound of rain, rising and falling in cadence.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Zhinan sat up straight, her eyes pitifully red. She fumbled around in the car and finally found her phone at her feet.
She entered the password several times before finally getting it right, and then glanced at the time.
I didn't expect to cry by myself for almost half an hour.
When she pulled up the call log again, the most recent one was the call she made to Gu Yibei.
No one has called her during this period.
Ji Zhinan finally breathed a sigh of relief, intending to grab a tissue from the side to wipe away her tears before pretending nothing was wrong and going back.
She had just reached out her hand when she suddenly realized something, and her body stiffened.
Slowly turning his head to look out the window, he saw a man in a suit standing outside.
The rain outside hadn't stopped, and the man was holding a black umbrella.
Even with an umbrella, the man's tall frame wasn't completely protected, and the rain soaked his shoulders.
Gu Yibei remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on her, waiting for her.
He had no idea how long he had been standing there.
