"How long do you plan to stay?"
In fact, Ling Mo also felt that it was not a good thing for the young master of the Qin family to spend all his time joking around in the university clinic.
But when he told me he was leaving, I felt a sense of emptiness inside.
"This departure may mean never returning to Linjiang."
Qin Beiming lowered his head and murmured softly.
Having been tormented by illness for many years, he had long since disregarded life and death.
But after meeting Ling Mo, he became incredibly afraid of death, hoping only to accompany her for a little longer.
Even just watching her from afar would be enough.
"Third Master, is something bothering you?" Ling Mo noticed that Qin Beiming was acting strangely tonight and asked in a low voice.
"nothing."
Qin Beiming shook his head, then changed the subject and suddenly asked:
"MoMo, what do you think of Dr. Fu YunQue?"
“Warm and kind, that’s good.” Ling Mo answered without hesitation.
"That does sound quite good."
Qin Beiming's eyes were filled with loneliness, and his voice carried an inexplicable sorrow.
He wasn't exactly a selfless person.
But this time, he actually had the idea of giving up his beloved.
Fu Yunque possessed a warmth that he lacked. If he could truly treat Ling Mo with sincerity, even in death, he would silently wish them well.
"Third Master, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Mo gently tugged at Qin Beiming's sleeve, her eyes filled with concern.
"Don't worry, what could possibly happen to me?"
Qin Beiming smiled gently and escorted Ling Mo to the outside of the Ling residence before stopping abruptly. "I can only take you this far."
"goodbye."
Ling Mo waved to him. Although she had a lot to say to him, she couldn't bring herself to say it when she saw that he was not interested.
She has always been slow to warm up to people and doesn't know how to express her thoughts or feelings. Once she senses that something is amiss, the courage she has just mustered will vanish in an instant.
Unbeknownst to her, after she entered the house, Qin Beiming stood alone outside the Ling residence for most of the night.
As dawn broke, he whispered a goodbye.
...
In the days that followed, Qin Beiming seemed to have completely vanished from Ling Mo's life.
He didn't even reply to the message of condolence that Ling Mo sent him.
"Honestly... why do I keep thinking about him..."
She stared blankly at Qin Beiming's photo on her phone screen for several tens of minutes at a time.
"Hey deskmate, why do you keep staring at Xiao Qin's medical assistant's picture?" Li Wanwan nudged the absent-minded Ling Mo with her elbow and asked curiously.
"How could he just disappear like that?"
Ling Mo slumped onto his desk, unable to concentrate on the lesson or do anything else.
Li Wanwan bit the cap of her pen, pondered for a moment, and then began to analyze logically:
"Logically speaking, Xiao Qin, the medical assistant, doesn't seem like the kind of heartless scumbag who would just leave without a word. He likes you so much, he would never just disappear without a trace. In my opinion, he must have encountered some difficult situation and can't get away for the time being."
"What do you mean by 'ruthless'? We're not what you think."
Ling Mo frowned, unable to understand why everyone seemed to assume that she and Qin Beiming were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Although they had a life-or-death friendship, they never crossed the line.
Even those two fleeting kisses were purely accidental.
"Okay. I always felt that you and Xiao Qin, the medical assistant, looked like a good match."
Li Wanwan scratched her head, smiled sheepishly, and then resumed her immersive analysis:
"Actually, I think the reason why Xiao Qin, the medical assistant, suddenly disappeared is most likely because he has an incurable disease. That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas. If someone suddenly changes their personality or disappears, it's probably because they have a serious illness and want their loved one to give up on them so they can start a new life."
"Severe..."
Upon hearing what Li Wanwan said, Ling Mo immediately became alert.
Recalling Qin Beiming's appearance when he fell ill, and his unusual behavior the night before he went missing, her heart clenched tightly in an instant.
In order to thoroughly understand the cause of Qin Beiming's illness, she began to read through a large number of medical books day and night.
Unfortunately, after flipping through medical books for a week, she still couldn't find a single clue.
After returning the medical books she had finished reading to the library, Ling Mo turned around and saw Fu Yun Que, dressed in a light blue suit, running towards her, covered in sweat.
"Dr. Fu?"
"Ling Mo, could you please do me a favor?" Fu Yun Que asked breathlessly, looking very anxious.
Ling Mo blinked and casually asked:
"What kind of help?"
"I had originally planned to go to a nearby orphanage with a female colleague from the hospital to attend the children's birthday party. We even put on a play of the classic Disney fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. Unfortunately, my colleague had something come up and just called to say she can't make it. I wonder if you would be available to make a cameo appearance in the play?"
"inconvenient."
Ling Mo flatly rejected Fu Yun Que's suggestion, but seeing the expectant look in his eyes, he inexplicably relented:
"How about I play a wild animal?"
Fu Yunque pointed to the bright yellow, gorgeous princess dress on the back seat of the car and said somewhat awkwardly:
"This dress is extremely narrow, and only someone as slender as you could fit into it. Even if I wanted to cross-dress, I'm afraid it would be very difficult. Ling Mo, could you please help me? The children would be so happy to see you."
