Lu Sinian's shoulders were wet.
“I can’t bear to leave this world.”
"I already have my mother, my grandmother, Gu Feihan, you guys, and so many wonderful things. I really can't bear to leave..."
Lu Sinian was anxious and heartbroken.
He held Su Xiaoli's trembling shoulders tightly.
"Xiao Li, tell me, what happened this afternoon?"
Why did she suddenly mention...death.
Did she... also know the contents of the signature...
Su Xiaoli just cried and didn't say anything.
yes.
What happened in the afternoon.
After lunch, Su Xiaoli sent the teacher's photo to the department.
The teacher put the photos away properly.
The two took a walk along the tree-lined path of the hospital.
The teacher spoke hesitantly about the night of the dance, and accidentally overheard the conversation between the two young ladies of the Lin family. However, when the teacher went to look for her again, Su Xiaoli had disappeared.
The teacher advised her to be careful.
After finishing her walk with the teacher, Su Xiaoli walked alone on the green path planted with Chinese herbal medicines.
Smelling the faint scent of herbs, she was briefly distracted.
In a moment, she suddenly remembered her teacher who was over sixty years old, his expression back then, and the words he said back then.
——"The girl who sent me the photo died before she reached adulthood."
She died before she reached adulthood.
A loud thunder.
Su Xiaoli couldn't remember how she got home or how she got to the terrace.
She only remembered that her teacher said she would die before she reached adulthood.
In the not too distant future, after having so much goodness in this life, die again.
Can't bear to.
I really can't bear to do that.
Su Xiaoli grabbed the corner of Lu Sinian's clothes tightly, using all her strength, as if grasping the last glimmer of hope.
The world seemed to disappear.
There was only darkness stretching endlessly before my eyes, with no end and no hope.
Lu Sinian's heart fell into the abyss in the darkness, unable to grasp or hold it tightly, and had already been out of control.
He suppressed his panic and hugged the trembling girl tighter and tighter.
Both of them carried an unspeakable heaviness in their hearts.
It seems like they are using depression to fight depression, and despair to comfort despair.
It's always better than being alone.
I don’t know how long it took, but the girl finally calmed down. Maybe she fainted from crying, or maybe she was too tired to sleep. She curled up in Lu Sinian’s arms and didn’t move.
There wasn't even any struggle.
Lu Sinian slowly picked up Su Xiaoli, who had lost all her strength, and returned to his room.
Silently, he put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
From a distance, he lit a stick of agarwood for her.
Quiet, sweet, cool and calm.
The agarwood was bought by Su Xiaoli herself and placed in his room.
His fingers gently brushed away her tear-soaked hair. Her little face was pale, and her cheeks were unnaturally flushed after crying bitterly.
The girl was like a frightened deer that finally fell asleep, hiding behind the mist, shaky and as invisible as smoke.
Lu Sinian pursed his lips tightly.
The remaining tear marks on his chest still stung Lu Sinian.
It felt like something was choking my throat and I couldn't even breathe.
After changing his clothes, he went to the study, opened the drawer, and found the crumpled signature pressed deep in the drawer.
There were no signs of being moved.
He called the bodyguard who had followed Su Xiaoli during the day.
"Tell me in detail what she did today." His tone was cold and his face was tired.
The bodyguard reported everything in detail, and only when he mentioned that Su Xiaoli gave Tan Songsheng photos in the afternoon did Lu Sinian raise his eyelids.
"And then?"
"Then the young lady seemed to be in a bad mood, and she walked back alone."
One person came back...
Lu Sinian's breathing stopped.
"Were you bullied by Dr. Tan?"
This question is actually extremely unreasonable. The young lady of the Lu family is in Lu’s own hospital. Who would dare to do that?
Not to mention that the bodyguards are following us, and we will never allow such a thing to happen.
Lu Sinian was really panicked.
The pain took over my brain and heart.
"It seems not. The two said goodbye with a smile. I only felt bad when I saw the young lady walking back to the research center."
Lu Sinian glanced at the bodyguard solemnly.
When she returned to the room, the incense had burned out. Su Xiaoli curled up into a ball with her head almost buried in her knees.
Lu Sinian had seen her sleeping deeply. She was always relaxed and never looked so insecure.
Now... it's the fear that comes from the depths of my soul.
He lit another stick of incense, lay down on the sofa with his clothes on, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
The next morning, while Su Xiaoli was still sleeping, Lu Sinian asked someone to find Tan Songsheng.
He asked detailed questions.
Tan Songsheng - except for not mentioning the Lin sisters out of consideration for Su Xiaoli's reputation, he also answered other questions in detail.
Finally, Lu Sinian slowly stated his request.
At this moment, the recklessness, directness and ruthlessness of this top wealthy young man were fully revealed.
After hearing what Lu Sinian said, Tan Songsheng's first reaction was resistance.
"Mr. Lu, I have always been a man of integrity."
Not every outstanding graduate from a medical school can work at Lu's Yian.
Tan Songsheng certainly doesn't want to give up easily.
Lu Sinian didn't allow him to continue.
"Perhaps, Doctor Tan, but every time Xiaoli sees you, it's like a different person."
"You have debt, this is a check ten times over."
"I will sponsor you to open a private plastic surgery clinic. Your lawyer will sign the documents and it will take effect. From now on, you don't have to come to Lu's to work."
"From what I've heard, Dr. Tan, you've always been sensible."
Lu Sinian performed like a veteran.
Being indifferent and downplaying things will inevitably simplify things.
Tan Songsheng was simply amused and confused, "The condition is of course to stay away from the young lady of the Lu family?"
"The farther the better. Don't create unnecessary trouble." Lu Sinian had a look of boredom on his face.
The hardships he had experienced since his youth had already worn down Tan Songsheng, who was now well versed in worldly affairs and no longer fought for personal gain.
After taking a deep breath, he picked up the check.
With this money, my sister can leave the eldest son of the Lin family immediately...
He was about to walk away, but suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Sinian.
"Your last name is Lu, and her last name is Su." He had never heard of the rumor, but he seemed to have grasped the key.
Lu Sinian had a blank expression on his face. "You're right. It's just as you thought."
Tan Songsheng sighed.
Turn around and leave.
For a long time afterwards, he did not appear in front of Su Xiaoli again.
But one day, when passing by a bookstore, Tan Songsheng suddenly stopped, went in and carefully selected a book on teaching Mandarin.
Su Xiaoli was unaware of the conversation between the two.
When she opened her eyes, Lu Sinian was already sitting beside the bed, looking at her quietly.
"Lu Sinian." She said.
"Yeah." Lu Sinian responded gently, not feeling surprised that she called his name.
"Su Xiaoli." He called her name very naturally.
No one mentioned last night's abnormality.
A secret shared by both of them.
Huge, dark, and lonely.
"I'll take you for a walk today." Lu Sinian said lightly, as if he was asking for her opinion, but also as if it was arranged this way.
Su Xiaoli did not object.
She went back to her room to take a shower. (End of this chapter)
