After listening to Li Lian recount what happened back then, Wang Xinghe fell into deep thought.
Seeing Wang Xinghe deep in thought, Li Lian patted his hand.
“Xinghe, you are a child with your own opinions. I’m saying this not to make you stop hating us. After all, we haven’t fulfilled our responsibilities as parents.”
"Mom, I don't hate you. He's the one who didn't want us and cheated on us during our marriage! Since he married you, he should fulfill his responsibilities as a husband."
"Yes, that's what I thought back then, but over the years, I've let it go, and it's all in the past."
"Mom, thank you for telling me what really happened back then."
"I'm telling you all this so that you can lessen your hatred. He's already dead. I've seen Wanyue's picture. She was a very sensible and obedient child. If possible, I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities as an older brother."
"Mom, I'll think about it."
"There is no right or wrong in matters of the heart. In the end, it seems that I made a mistake back then. It was originally an accident, but I made a big scene and asked your father to marry me, making it known to everyone. That's when your grandparents severed their father-son relationship with him."
"Severed father-son relationship? No wonder."
"No wonder what?"
"It's nothing, Mom. I'm just a little tired and want to go back to my room to rest."
"Okay, go ahead. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just stay happy."
"I know, Mom, I'm very happy now."
Wang Xinghe didn't mention that incident, nor did he tell Li Lian about how he had begged his grandparents for money for the materials that year.
Back in his room, Wang Xinghe opened Wang Wanyue's WeChat Moments and found it very clean. He knew that it wasn't because she had been blocked, but because Wang Wanyue didn't like posting on Moments, which was similar to him.
However, the background image on her WeChat Moments was a photo of Wang Wanyue: a girl in a neat school uniform sitting at a desk, her hair tied in a ponytail, sunlight shining on her, outlining her silhouette, as if gilding her with a faint halo.
She's beautiful and well-behaved; this is the youth of so many boys.
But who took this picture of her?
Could they be dating?
Just then, Wang Wanyue sent a message to Wang Xinghe.
"Brother Xinghe, are you asleep?"
Wang Xinghe waited two minutes before replying: "Not yet."
"Brother Xinghe, why did you buy such expensive gifts for Grandpa and Grandma? We only found out today when we had guests. Those things you bought would cost ten or twenty thousand yuan a box in the mall."
"It's alright, your grandparents can eat it."
"That's too expensive, Brother Xinghe. You don't need to spend so much next time."
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I can make some pastries, and I think they're pretty good. I can make some and send them to you tomorrow. Could you send me your address?"
"I'm back in Kyoto now, I'm not in Ningjiang anymore."
"Huh? Brother Xinghe, when did you leave? Why did you suddenly go back?"
“I’m not lying to you, I really did go back to Kyoto. A relative of mine is sick, and I couldn’t delay, so I sent her to a hospital in Kyoto for treatment.”
"No, no, Brother Xinghe, you misunderstood. I don't think you lied to me, I just feel confused about why you left so suddenly."
"We'll see each other again in the future."
"Really? Brother Xinghe, will I ever see you again?"
"Okay, but you have to study hard and get into a university in Kyoto."
"Brother Xinghe, I will work hard! I want to get into Kyoto University, the same university as you."
"Okay, by the way, who took that background picture for your WeChat Moments? I just accidentally clicked on it and saw it."
"Ah! It was just a random photo, and I thought it looked pretty good, so I set it as my background image. I'll change it now."
"No need to change it. I didn't say it looked bad. It looks great. Who took the picture of you? Was it a boy or a girl?"
“It was my deskmate, he’s a boy, and he took this picture that day and showed it to me, so I asked him to send it to me.”
"A boy?"
"Brother Xinghe, don't misunderstand. I don't like him. We just have a pretty good relationship. He sometimes asks me questions."
"Yes, you should focus on your studies now and absolutely not have any such thoughts, understand?"
"I understand, Brother Xinghe, I don't have those kinds of thoughts."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to sleep."
"Oh, right, Xinghe-gege, we're starting school tomorrow."
"Okay, then go to bed early tonight."
"Yes, I don't bring my phone to school."
"I know, the middle schools where I live don't allow it."
"So I wanted to tell you that I'm going to sleep now, Xinghe-gege."
"How are you going to get to school tomorrow?"
"I'll just take the bus. My grandparents' house is too far from our high school."
"good."
The next day, when Wang Xinghe arrived at Kyoto Cancer Hospital, Dean Zuo told him that a treatment plan had been developed.
"Madam, Young Master Wang, our treatment team has worked through the night to design a treatment plan. Please come to my office so I can explain it to you."
"Then what are the chances of a cure?" Wang Xinghe asked after Dean Zuo finished speaking.
"Young Master Wang, as you know, Ms. Chen's condition is not optimistic at the moment, and with current medical technology, it is not yet possible to cure her."
"Can't I?"
"Alright, Xinghe, thank you, Dean Zuo."
"You're welcome, madam, but we believe in miracles, and we will do everything in our power."
"Let's go, Xinghe, let's go see Dean Chen."
"good."
In the following days, Wang Xinghe came to the hospital every day until the eve of the start of the school term.
"Dean Chen, my school starts tomorrow, but I'll still come back to see you whenever I have free time."
"Xinghe, if you go back to school, you should study hard, okay? I feel like my health is getting better every day, and maybe I'll really be cured in a while."
"Yes, the doctor said your condition is treatable, so you can rest assured and receive treatment here. We hope you recover soon."
"good."
“Grandma Chen, I’ll come to see you too. I’m pretty free, so I come whenever I have time!” Su Ke’er said, standing next to Wang Xinghe.
"No need, you all have your own things to do, don't bother me. I will focus on getting better here."
"Grandma Chen, I'll get angry if you say that! I'm going to come!"
After leaving the hospital, Wang Xinghe drove Su Ke'er home.
"Little Xinghe, you're about to start school, and I'm a little reluctant to see you go."
"Fourth sister, it's not like we're never going to see each other again. Aren't our schools right next to each other?"
"You know how close we are, you heartless bastard! How many times did you come to see me last semester?"
"Several times, I think."
"Several times! I've been so bored at school, and you never even came to come and play with me!"
