Chapter 37: Suspension of study. It’s tantamount to breaking up.
Qin Yi coaxed her to rest: "I just need you to reply. Have a good rest, dear."
Yu Han lay on the hospital bed, enduring a headache as she read the news.
She felt that even after they finally got in touch, it seemed that he didn't feel much better.
After being out of contact for more than ten days, I finally learned that she had such a serious accident.
She didn't know what he was thinking or how he was getting through the past ten days. If she had lost contact with him during this period, she would have collapsed.
"I'm sorry." Yu Han couldn't help but repeat, "I'm sorry."
A few minutes seemed so long that it seemed like a century. The sunset in the north became much dimmer, and an inexplicably cold wind swept across the balcony.
Qin Yi sat on the sofa, holding up his phone to listen to the voice message. He didn't know how to describe the feeling of hearing her say sorry.
I just feel that it would be better if she really wanted to break up. At least when we knew the truth, we both let it go.
"Don't say that, I don't need it."
It took a few more minutes, but he finally coaxed the little princess to put down her phone and rest. He also agreed that she could look for him when she was free. He hadn't been to school recently, so he was free.
Finally, Qin Yi immediately went downstairs to find Dong Lanyi.
"Buy a plane ticket, sister, tomorrow morning."
"Ah, has it been decided so quickly?" Dong Lanyi was in the kitchen with her grandmother making snacks. When she heard the voice, she looked towards the young man at the stairs.
Seeing that she had nothing on her hands, Qin Yi walked over and said, "I'll take care of it."
Dong Lanyi: “…”
She handed him a piece of glutinous rice cake.
He took it while looking at his phone.
Dong Lanyi was shocked, "You...you, are a little normal now."
When he was upstairs, he looked half dead and soulless, but now he seemed to be alive a little and even accepted snacks, which he usually didn't like to eat.
Grandma was stirring glutinous rice when she interrupted the person who came in and asked, "What's wrong with you? Have you been feeling unwell these past few days? I noticed you were listless all day long."
Qin Yi said it was okay, then showed his phone to Dong Lanyi, "Is it 11 o'clock in the morning?"
"Oh, okay."
Qin Yi went out.
Dong Lanyi smiled faintly, watching the boy leisurely walk out, and reminded him, "Xiaoyi, send a message to Auntie and tell her we'll be there tomorrow morning. And tell them not to pick us up at the airport. We can just go home by ourselves when we arrive during the day."
"OK."
He is now answering questions and his voice is normal.
Dong Lanyi found it magical.
Grandma asked her, "What's wrong with Xiaoyi? Are you really not sick?"
Dong Lanyi turned around: "Oh, no, grandma." She smiled helplessly, "He just lost something before and couldn't find it. Maybe he just found it."
"This kid just lost something."
"Well, he likes it and can't bear to leave." She changed the subject and said to the old man, "Then I will go there tomorrow, grandma. The earliest I will be back will be in May during the summer vacation. You and grandpa should take good care of yourselves."
The old woman immediately raised her head, wiped her hands clean of glutinous rice flour, and stroked the little girl's face. "I'm so worried about you running so far. Our little Yi needs to be alone and safe. We won't go to dangerous places. If you don't have money, tell your uncle and aunt, and tell grandma, and she'll transfer some money to you."
"Uh-huh."
"We're not like we were before. We have money to spend now. We must not be like your sister who had to work part-time while studying and got injured while filming and still can't heal."
"I know, Grandma."
…
The haze continues in Singapore.
But since Yu Han contacted Qin Yi, she has been in much better spirits. Before, when she couldn't contact him, she was always worried that he would be anxious because he couldn't find her.
Once my mood improved, I recovered quickly. Except for the injury on my head, a broken hand, and some injuries to my knee, all other parts of my body were fine, and I no longer had the recurring fever.
She told Qin Yi that she was so exhausted that she might not be able to get into university. He said without hesitation that if she couldn't get in, then she couldn't get in, and that a top student could support his girlfriend.
This sentence made her shy and she didn't dare to speak for a long time.
After being hospitalized for half a month, Yu Han finally heard some information about being discharged. The doctor said that in about a week, after the wound on her forehead was dressed again and the pain in her arm subsided, she would be able to go home and recuperate.
But now she can go out for a short walk and breathe some fresh air, which will help her recover her spirit. Exercise to increase her immunity can prevent her from having a fever again.
But Yu Han didn't want to go out. She just wanted to stay in the ward. There was no way a car would drive in and hit her without braking for no reason.
When her parents heard her say this, they were heartbroken. They didn't force her to go out and play, but took turns staying with her in the hospital day and night.
…
It was a rare day when she woke up feeling well and energetic. After finishing the infusion, Yu Han took her tablet and went online, fearing that if she delayed any further she would not be able to graduate, let alone take the college entrance examination.
Just after watching for a while, the sound of rustling rain came from outside again.
The originally sunny ward was now covered with a layer of hazy fog, and the flat panel light seemed a little dazzling.
Yu Han lowered the brightness of the display and continued with the class.
The noisy rain made her tablet computer difficult to hear clearly, so she gradually turned the volume up to the maximum.
It's still a bit blurry in the end.
With a head injury, she couldn't wear headphones. After struggling in this difficult environment for half an hour, Yu Han finally gave up studying.
The ward was empty. Dad had gone to the company and Mom had gone to see a doctor. Only a Filipino maid was left to look after her.
Since being admitted to the hospital, Yu Han has rarely been alone.
When Qin Yi heard that she was going to study, he said he was going to play games and asked her to come to him if she had any questions.
But she didn't understand anything now, so she didn't want to disturb him. Big Brother hadn't even finished the game yet.
She didn't mind him playing games. There was no way they could stay in touch 24 hours a day, so he had to play his own games.
And even if you stay up for several days and nights, you will still be the first in the grade.
After sitting alone for a while, Yu Han felt so bored that she decided to get out of bed, carefully walked to the door while holding onto the wall, and opened it.
The Class A ward floor of Singapore General Hospital is a VIP floor and it is very quiet outside.
Yu Han turned around and told the maid Aunt Fei that she wanted to go downstairs to watch the rain.
"Should I take you there?" Auntie was worried.
"No, I can do it myself."
"Then a wheelchair?"
"..." Yu Han subconsciously refused, "No, my knee is not a big problem. I've been able to walk these past two days."
"Okay. Then be careful not to get wet in the rain."
"Uh-huh."
This was the first time Yu Han went downstairs since she was hospitalized for so long.
She walked to the elevator and waited for a while before the door opened.
There's someone inside.
He was dressed in black, wearing a white mask and a black baseball cap.
You can tell he's a young man, very tall, with fair skin.
But he looked at her from the inside out and didn't come out.
Yu Han reminded: "You, aren't you going to come out?" This is the top floor.
The other party seemed to come back to his senses and walked out.
Yu Han brushed past him and went in, but after pressing the door-closing button, the person outside suddenly reached out to block the door, and the door automatically bounced open.
Yu Han raised her eyebrows in confusion.
He looked at the confused her for about three seconds, and then he came in again.
Yu Han slowly lowered her head, her eyes moving quietly, a little worried about encountering bad people... It is rare to see people wearing masks in Singapore.
His look is familiar though.
She remembered that at the beginning of the year, or before the Spring Festival, she was riding a bicycle in East Coast Park and was hit by someone. A boy helped her up. The boy looked like this, wearing a white mask.
Yu Han suddenly tilted her head and stared at the person next to her who was much taller than her.
She was staring at him and he couldn't ignore her. At a certain moment, he turned his head and their eyes met in the spacious and quiet elevator.
The elevator went down and stopped on the tenth floor.
Someone came in, three people, and forced him to step back and no longer stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
Yu Han couldn't help but turn half of her body back and continue staring at him.
The boy raised an eyebrow at her.
Yu Han asked, "Hello, do you understand Chinese?"
"Um."
"Wow," her eyes widened, hope lingering in them, "So, do you know me? I think I've seen you before."
“…” Qin Yi had a smile in his eyes.
Although the visibility in the elevator is not very good, it is still easy to catch a glimpse of the smile hidden under the brim of his hat when looking at him so closely.
Yu Han suddenly became excited.
She turned around and ended up bumping into the person standing next to her.
"Oh..." Her hand was broken and the protective gear was still hanging around her neck.
Qin Yi immediately went to support her, protecting her broken hand and said to the person who was hit: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
"It's okay, it's okay." The other person was also Chinese. He could see that she was seriously injured, so he shook his head and didn't care, and moved aside a little to make room for her.
Yu Han was so busy enduring the numbness in her arms that she didn't notice that his voice was also familiar to her.
After taking a break, she let out a low breath and smiled apologetically at the person she had bumped into. Then, looking at the person protecting her, she couldn't help but mutter, "I shouldn't have come out. It's so uncomfortable."
Qin Yi's heart felt like it was being tightly strangled by a rope, causing a sour and aching pain.
How uncomfortable must she be to say this to someone she is barely acquainted with?
But he didn't dare say much, for fear that she would recognize something and become completely agitated, which would greatly affect her condition.
He hadn't thought that he would actually see her today. He just couldn't accept that he was in Singapore but hadn't come to see her... He really wanted to come and see his Hanhan.
So I went out today.
But if we want to "recognize each other", we have to wait for two days until she gets better. We must not recognize each other in such an unclear and abrupt way in the hospital. She will be angry to death and it will affect her recovery.
The elevator finally stopped on the first floor.
Yu Han was walking at the back, oh, there was someone walking alongside her.
"Are you the one who helped me on the East Coast?" she finally found the opportunity to ask the other party.
He nodded.
Yu Han was suddenly very happy and surprised: "Wow, long time no see. But why do you always wear a mask?"
"Pollen allergy." He said vaguely.
There were too many people on the first floor, and Yu Han still couldn't hear anything wrong with his voice.
Just checking as we walked: "What allergies? You mean allergies? Pollen?"
"Um."
Singapore General Hospital has extensive greenery and is a famous garden-style hospital. It is still summer now, and the vegetation is lush and the flowers are verdant.
So when he said that, Yu Han didn't doubt it at all, and nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense: "There are too many flowers and plants here, so you can wear it."
She walked towards the back garden of the building.
After a few steps, she found that the other person was heading in the same direction as her, also going out, so she asked, "What are you doing here? Are you here to see a doctor or to see someone else?"
"people."
"Oh, so you've finished reading it?"
He shook his head.
"Oh." Yu Han didn't know what to say. She was going to watch the rain, so she pointed outside the building and said, "I want to find a quiet place to watch the rain. Are you in a hurry to see people?"
He said nothing, shook his head, and followed her steps.
Yu Han was quite happy.
After walking along the sheltered corridor for a while, she found a clean and empty bench, sat down, took out her cell phone, took a picture of the rain, and sent it to Qin Yi.
"I couldn't study because of the noise, so I came down to watch the rain. The rain is pretty beautiful." He typed out this long sentence with his left hand and sent it.
The boy sitting on a nearby bench watched her hard work from beginning to end, and thought of what she said a few days ago that she could type with her left hand, but it was a little slow.
The back of her left hand was swollen and bruised due to excessive infusion, and there were residual glue marks on it.
His phone vibrated in his pocket and he took it out to check.
Yu Han tilted her head.
It was so boring that she could only find acquaintances to pass the time, but watching the rain with acquaintances was not a must.
"How old are you? Why do you look about the same age as me, but you don't have to go to class at this time?"
From two meters away, he glanced at her, then said quietly, "Seventeen, studying in China."
"Studying in China? You don't live in Singapore?" She added, "Your voice sounds like a friend of mine."
“…”
She blinked her big eyes and sighed curiously, "Last time I thought you looked like him, with the same eyes, height, and temperament."
“…” It was on the verge of falling off, but there was still a layer left after it fell off.
It was the first time that Qin Yi realized that he had so many layers of disguises in front of her.
After a couple of days, he admitted that he was the one who was seriously injured.
Yu Han didn't know what was going on in the mind of someone who was only two seconds away from her. She said naturally, "But it's obviously not the case. He would definitely say hello if he saw me."
Qin Yi felt guilty, and seeing the little princess's slightly lonely expression, he really wanted to lay everything out now.
However, her forehead was wrapped in thick gauze, her arm was in a cast, she spoke slowly, and her face was pale, which was very different from the pink, tender, and lively little cutie she used to be.
Looks much more haggard.
Suddenly she covered her forehead.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yi asked subconsciously, wondering if it hurt.
In fact, during the two days in Singapore, he had already understood everything, including the cause and effect of the accident, and even tricked her into telling him the details of the hospital and the ward floor without her knowing.
Although he couldn't go to the ward to see her, he still wanted to come.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived and the elevator door opened, she appeared outside as a surprise like a gift.
She was wearing a plain hospital gown with an autumn white windbreaker on the outside. Her long, soft black hair was draped over her frail body. Her forehead, arms, and wrist bones were all injured. At the moment, she was sitting under the wind and rain corridor, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.
But even though he knew every bit of her pain clearly, sitting in front of her, Qin Yi still couldn't act like a mute and watch her covering her head and frowning.
She said, “It hurts a little.”
"Then let's go back."
"It's okay, sit down."
"Why is it so badly injured?"
"I got hit by a car," she began. "That car acted like it was drunk. It was turning right, then going straight. Going straight meant it was colliding with us, even though the light was red. But it didn't stop and just slammed into us. I watched helplessly as it drove over and knocked my car over."
Qin Yi narrowed his eyes for a moment, and there was surprise in his pupils hidden under the brim of his hat. He was surprised that she watched him being hit, and also surprised that the car overturned.
She didn't say on the Internet that she had fallen over, she just said that it was because of the weather and bad luck that the collision was a bit serious.
"So, that's it." His voice was hoarse.
"Yes. But I'm much better now." She smiled, full of energy, not sad at all. "It was quite serious a few days ago. It rained heavily that day and I got soaked in the car. I've had a fever ever since, but when I have a fever..."
Halfway through her speech, Yu Han remembered that someone named Jin had told her not to reveal her weaknesses to others to prevent them from hurting her.
Although she felt that the person in front of her had helped her and would not hurt her, she decided not to say anything. There was no benefit in saying anything. They were just acquaintances, and they would not know each other anymore after a while.
"I, after I had a fever, my recovery was slow. I've only felt better in the past two days." She changed her words.
Qin Yi saw her hesitant expression and guessed the reason for her sudden pause and change of words. He felt relieved and distressed.
"I'm glad you're okay. In that case, don't stay downstairs for too long and don't blow on your fever."
"Yeah. I'll be up in a minute."
After that, everyone fell silent.
In the corner of Yu Han's eye, the boy bent down, his elbows resting on his knees, flipping through his phone in his hand.
It looks like he is checking WeChat.
If we meet by chance a few more times, we will be familiar enough to add each other on WeChat. However, it has been eight months since the last time we met. Based on the frequency and probability of this encounter, we will never be able to add each other on WeChat in this lifetime.
At this time, the cell phone rang. It was my mother calling.
Yu Han said, "I was downstairs. There was no one here. I saw it as soon as I came out."
Three minutes later, a young woman in a beige business suit appeared in the distance.
"Why did you come here by yourself? You're going to catch a cold."
Passing by a chair in front, Xia Yue glanced at a boy who was playing with his mobile phone, then looked at her daughter.
Yu Han narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "It's okay. I wanted to study, but the rain was too noisy, so I came down to watch the rain."
"So, are you ready? Are you leaving?" Ms. Xia asked her gently, "How about going home? We have to eat and then have another IV. Your father will be back soon."
"oh."
Yu Han was helped up by her mother. She turned around and said to the person sitting on the bench next to her, looking down at his phone, "I'm leaving."
Xia Yue glanced at the other person in surprise, then looked at her daughter: "Do you know him?"
Qin Yi looked up and met Ms. Xia's inquiring and curious eyes.
Yu Han explained, "We kind of know each other. I was riding my bike in the park before and got hit by someone. It was this friend who helped me up. We just happened to meet because he came to visit me."
"Oh..." Xia Yue smiled immediately, and looked at Qin Yi with a warm smile, "It's you. Thank you, classmate. Thank you so much."
"Need not."
Yu Han waved at him: "Then go see the people, and then go back. The weather is so bad. I'm going home."
"Yeah." Qin Yi nodded and said to her, "Get well soon."
Ms. Xia thanked him, waved her hand, and finally helped Yu Han back.
After they entered the building, Qin Yi slowly stood up, followed the direction into the building, and then walked to the gate of the inpatient department.
Someone passed by him holding a bouquet of white lisianthus flowers, the fragrance of which was intoxicating.
Qin Yi turned his head and watched the man enter the elevator with the beautiful flowers.
…
The rainstorm came down like a torrential downpour the moment we returned to the ward.
Yu Han thought: It’s over, that person must still be in the hospital and can’t go back.
She lay down on the hospital bed, sighed, and then took out her phone to look for Qin Yi out of boredom.
After I sent him a photo of the rain, he replied that he was outside at the moment and it was also raining, but it was not as beautiful as the one she took.
Yu Han thought he said it was raining in Lan City, and did not check the weather forecast to confirm. If she had checked, she would have known that the whole of Jiangnan was sunny and cool today.
Or it should be said that since the beginning of autumn, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River has been sunny, which means that it has been raining heavily in his heart.
I was struggling to type "You've finished playing games, you're outside...", but before I could finish, the doorbell rang in the ward.
After a while, the Filipino maid called out, "Madam, come here for a moment."
Ms. Xia Yue, who was sorting clothes for her daughter, went out.
Soon she appeared in front of the bed, holding a bunch of snow-white lisianthus flowers, with a look of surprise on her face, "Hanhan, who sent this to you?"
Yu Han looked up from her phone and said, "I don't know who sent it."
Xia Yue walked over and handed it to her, smiling and said, "It's very beautiful. See if anyone has sent you a message. Is it your classmate or something?"
Yu Han held the flowers and looked at them, then picked up her phone to check WeChat.
At that moment, she saw a message coming into Qin Yi's account that she hadn't read yet.
Qin: "I wish our Hanhan a speedy recovery."
Yu Han forgot to blink, and only after several seconds did she lift her eyelids to look at the flowers in her arms.
Mom has gone out and is preparing her lunch with the Filipino maid.
Yu Han touched the flowers with her unbroken hand, carefully admiring the lisianthus still covered with a few raindrops.
The sounds of wind and rain were loud and noisy in my ears, but they could not withstand the youthful, white and tranquility of the lisianthus, and my whole mood seemed to be soothed.
The corners of Yu Han's mouth curled up.
Her mother, who came in with lunch to eat with her, asked who had sent the flowers.
Yu Han said they were friends.
Ms. Xia Yue was curious: "Friends? Not classmates?"
Yu Han paused and said, "It's from China."
Ms. Xia raised her eyebrows. "Ah? Female friends from China?"
Yu Han said calmly, "Can't a boy do that? There are many boys in our class who like me."
"..." Mom choked for a moment before calming down and asking her pretty face, "Before that, were those gifts given to you by boys or girls?"
"Oh. Girls."
"Really? Why do girls always give you gifts?"
"Not often. I only gave her a gift in return on my birthday. She also sent me some gifts when she was traveling. Another time, she bought me a doll because I told her it wasn't available in Singapore."
So many times, but she always had a reason. Ms. Xia Yue felt strange but had nothing to say.
"Then the person who sent the flowers was really a male friend. What friend?"
Yu Han was silent for a moment, then looked up at her mother and said, "Do you remember the person who took me to the hospital in Florence?"
Mom nodded subconsciously.
Yu Han: "He sent me these flowers."
"Ah?" Ms. Xia was surprised. "Why? Do you know him?"
"Yes, we knew each other. We had contact information at the time, but it was difficult to delete it later."
"Then, how did he know you were injured and hospitalized? Have you been in contact all these years?"
"Well, during the Chinese New Year, I went to Bangkok for a trip and saw a piece of clothing that matched the one he had left at the hospital. I bought it and sent it to him."
Although Ms. Xia was surprised, she didn't express any disagreement. She nodded slowly, "Is that so? Then what happened?"
"Later, I asked him a while ago which school he was applying to, but we lost touch and haven't been in touch for over ten days. He got in touch again these past two days, and he knew I was in an accident, so today, um, he sent me flowers."
"I see." Ms. Xia breathed a sigh of relief. "That child is still as kind as ever and treats you very well."
Yu Han nodded seriously.
"Hey, you said before that you were going to study in the United States and had made an appointment with friends in China. Could it be him?"
“…”
In the face of Yu Han's stunned expression, Ms. Xia Yue took a deep breath, changed her expression, pointed at her and said, "No, baby, I thought it was a female classmate, but it turned out to be a boy! How can you make an appointment to study with a boy if you are done?"
“…”
Alas, she had long given up hope on this matter. Why didn't Yu Han argue with her mother?
The next day the weather was fine.
There was no reason not to study. Yu Han sat on the sofa by the window holding a tablet, studying while receiving an IV drip.
The progress was simply too slow. Her right hand was fractured, and she couldn't write with her left. She also received numerous IV drips daily, and even without them, her hand still hurt. So even with her left hand, she couldn't finish the questions quickly on the screen.
After a while, her head started to hurt after looking at the screen for so long.
Her father coaxed her and said, "Then let's not watch it anymore and take a few days off."
"But when can this hand be removed? I can't write with my left hand, and I won't be able to write in a few days," she said worriedly.
Yu Wensheng sat on the sofa in front of her and comforted her with a distressed look: "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. This hand needs to be able to move for three months."
"What? Then how am I going to go to school?" She glared and broke down.
Ms. Xia immediately joined in: "Don't worry, don't worry. If it really doesn't work out, we can just take a break and not go back to school. We can go back next year."
Yu Han was overwhelmed and asked her mother in disbelief, "What? I'll go to school for three years, just like in China."
Dad explained, "It's not three years. You can take a year off. We'll go back next year. By then you'll have recovered well enough."
Yu Han frowned, "That won't work. How can I go to college in the same year as my classmates?"
Ms. Xia said calmly, "We will have new classmates next year. Don't worry. Let the current students go first. We will be a year late. It's okay. We will have new friends."
How could that be?? That wasn't just any ordinary classmate or friend, it was Qin Yi.
Yu Han was flustered.
If I take a year off, I'll just have to watch the distance between me and Qin grow even wider. We weren't in the same class to begin with, and now there's a grade difference. How can I handle that?
She said to her parents aggrievedly: "I, no, I have already made an appointment with them, we will study together."
"Besides that boy, who else did you make an appointment with?" Ms. Xia asked.
"He, Chen Man."
"Then where will she apply? You can't get into a school in China either." Mom was very curious. "Is she going to study in the United States too?"
"Yeah. If I go, she'll go."
The parents looked at each other.
Xia Yue told her husband about the bouquet of flowers. At this moment, the couple looked at each other and both knew that she was lying. She must have only dated that boy.
Yu Wensheng turned to his daughter and said gently, "America is too far away. It's not suitable. Hanhan, you are alone and there is no one to take care of you. If you only bring a cooking aunt, she won't be able to help you if something happens. Look, it will take months to recover from such a serious accident here. We are at home, and Mom and Dad are here. If you were in America, with your special body, if you had a high fever and didn't get timely treatment, it would be fatal.
By the time your mother and I get there, it will be too late."
Yu Han muttered softly, "I have classmates."
Ms. Xia immediately said, "Manman is also a girl, just like you, she's only in her teens. She panicked when something happened. Can you take charge at your age? No. And you probably always go out together. What if something happens to you both?"
“…” Yu Han was speechless.
Yu Wensheng patted her head and said, "Think about it yourself. If studying is really too strenuous, then we won't study anymore. You'll waste your energy and your recovery will be even slower. Tell her classmates to find a suitable school, or ask her to date other students instead of you."
Yu Han was stimulated by the last sentence... Find a suitable school to study in, or make a date with other classmates, and don’t follow you anymore.
If these words were said to Qin Yi, it would be tantamount to... asking him to break up and date someone else.
