77 Asking about the past
"Tell me everything you know, without leaving out a single word."
Jiang Suiyun breathed a sigh of relief. Her call came at the right time, but when she subconsciously touched her pocket - it was empty.
She was stunned for a moment: "My phone..."
He Linchuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned over to pull out the ringing phone from the gap in the sofa. He handed it to her naturally, saying in a calm tone, "I guess it just fell out accidentally."
Jiang Suiyun took the phone and saw the name "Teacher Wen" popping up on the screen. Her heart sank.
She subconsciously glanced at He Linchuan. He had already opened his lunch box and didn't seem to care.
Jiang Suiyun paused and said, "I'm going to take a call." She pressed the answer button and walked out.
Ever since He Linchuan said that last time, she had thought a lot over the past two days and asked the doctor. The doctor's answer was that it would be difficult to carry out subsequent rehabilitation treatment if the patient's psychological problems were not resolved.
This is almost an unsolvable answer.
Jiang Suiyun had actually already prepared for the worst...
Reject the opportunity to pursue further studies.
Maybe she really wasn't meant to be with S University. Every time an opportunity presented itself to her, another unexpected event would come early.
She sighed deeply.
A feeling of powerlessness came over me.
Jiang Suiyun knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in DY Studio, she had to further her studies. She understood Teacher Wen's good intentions for her... She felt a little depressed and uncomfortable, and resentment and regret surged up all at once. However, looking at He Linchuan's injuries and current situation, she couldn't get over the hurdle of leaving.
The life-saving grace and sense of responsibility, like invisible shackles, nailed her here firmly.
Jiang Suiyun walked out of the ward, took a deep breath, and even prepared some words to politely refuse.
There was a "hissing" sound of electricity coming from the receiver, and after a few seconds, the call was connected.
"Teacher Wen, I'm sorry, I..." Jiang Suiyun was speechless and didn't know how to start. Teacher Wen had been busy helping her so much during this period of time and really wanted to cultivate her, but she had let her down time and time again.
She was suddenly very scared, afraid to hear Teacher Wen's disappointed voice.
However, just as she began to speak, she was interrupted by Teacher Wen's excited and urgent voice: "Xiao Jiang, there is good news. S University has recently issued a new rule."
"You can apply to complete some core courses in your first year online. It's a bit tedious to submit a lot of documents, but once your application is successful, you only need to fly in for in-person participation during key milestones and project implementation. I've sent you the documents so you can take a look."
"I think you can definitely apply. This way you can travel back and forth between the two countries, taking care of your domestic affairs without affecting your studies."
"Well? What do you think?"
Teacher Wen sounded very happy.
Jiang Suiyun had always been unlucky, but he never expected to have such a lucky day. He froze for a moment. It was really...
A sudden turn of events!
The huge surprise was like a tide that instantly destroyed the high building of disappointment in her heart!
Her eyes suddenly lit up, her fingers trembled slightly with excitement, and her voice was a little excited: "...Really? Teacher, that's great!" The "buzzing" sound in the phone receiver became louder and disappeared as she became excited, and then was covered by her excited voice.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
If some of the courses can be taught online, she will indeed be able to go back and forth between the two. It will be tiring, but she can balance both. Jiang Suiyun feels that this is the best solution she can think of at the moment.
She excitedly opened the document and confirmed the details. All the depression and heaviness she had felt before were swept away, and she felt like she was lit up.
The application materials are not difficult.
She will submit the stuff later.
Back in the ward, Jiang Suiyun's fingertips holding the phone were still slightly hot from excitement.
Looking at He Linchuan, who was wearing headphones and typing on the keyboard while lying on the hospital bed, the heart in his chest, which was filled with good news, suddenly seemed to be gently pulled by something.
The joy was somewhat diluted.
Um……
She also has to find a way to talk to He Linchuan about this?
Saying, "I'm still reluctant to give up this opportunity to study abroad, but I'll come back to see you often"? It sounds like she can't wait to leave.
Jiang Suiyun was afraid of irritating him. After all, although He Linchuan looked the same during this period, she could sense that He Linchuan was often not as he appeared. Although he was occasionally strong, his strength concealed a vulnerability and insecurity. This contrast made Jiang Suiyun feel uncomfortable. If it weren't for saving her, He Linchuan wouldn't be like this now.
After all, she owed him.
She pondered for a long time, trying to choose a tactful word.
"He Linchuan..." She spoke softly, with a hint of excitement in her voice, but she tried hard to make it sound more calm.
He Linchuan heard the voice and raised his eyes from the computer screen, but his eyes were dark and unclear.
He tilted his head slightly, raised his hand, and his slender fingers gracefully took off the wireless headphones he had been wearing, his movements natural and smooth.
"He Linchuan, just now..."
He Linchuan's eyes were dark, and he didn't give her a chance to speak: "Today is Tuesday, and it's already afternoon."
There are rehabilitation classes every Tuesday afternoon, but this is the first time He Linchuan has been so active. Jiang Suiyun was a little surprised, but he was interrupted before he could finish his words, and the emotions that had been brewing just now were neither up nor down for a while.
No matter how I look at it, something seems wrong.
She sighed inwardly and thought, forget it, she would wait until today's rehabilitation is over and talk about this matter in the evening.
"I'll get some clothes and a towel."
He Linchuan said "hmm" lightly, his eyes following her like a shadow. Where no one could see, his hand holding the earphones at his side unconsciously tightened a little, and his knuckles turned white.
…
He Chifeng followed the route indicated by the nurse and finally found He Xingyun's ward in Building B.
Just as he reached the door and before he pushed it open, he heard his father He Xingjia's slightly anxious voice coming from inside, and a woman's delicate and artificial voice echoing him.
He stopped abruptly, and his brows were instantly filled with undisguised annoyance.
Sure enough, not long after, the ward door opened and He Xingjia walked out with his beloved lover. He Chifeng was half leaning against the side wall, and neither of them saw him.
His eyes were cold.
The extent to which he loathed He Xingjia was no different from Shen Lin's. From childhood to adulthood, the number of times he had seen his father was probably not as many as the number of lovers he had found over the years. I heard that he and Shen Lin were recently getting divorced again. They had this issue every year and there was really nothing new about it.
He looked up.
Xiaoyun's eyes met with the lowered and pleasant woman behind He Xingjia. She didn't expect that there was someone else outside the ward, and she didn't expect that this person was He Chifeng. She became nervous in an instant.
He Chifeng clearly saw a flash of resentment and disgust in the man's eyes that was so fast that it was almost impossible to capture.
Although that emotion flashed by and was quickly replaced by gentleness, He Linchuan believed that he was definitely not wrong.
He sneered, and suddenly remembered the last time he ran into her outside the study of the old house, sneaking out of the study with a panicked look... He had seen many of his father's lovers, but this was the first time he had seen one, which was really interesting.
But he didn't have time to delve into this now, nor was he in the mood to care about his father's trivial matters.
It was not until then that He Xingjia saw He Chifeng. He was surprised. After all, he was his son, so he was still a little embarrassed and unnatural. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He pulled the woman away quickly, as if it would be embarrassing to stay for another second.
When Xiaoyun passed by He Chifeng, she lowered her head even more and quickened her pace, as if she was avoiding some ferocious beast.
He Chifeng didn't bother to pay attention to them and just pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.
On the hospital bed, He Xingyun, who had injured his ribs, was grimacing and trying to get more comfortable. When he heard the door open, he thought it was He Xingjia who had returned. Without even looking up, he complained angrily, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but are you really crazy? You're getting a divorce for a woman like that and you want to get her into the He family? I doubt the old man would agree to that! You still want me to plead for her? What should I say? I..."
He was halfway through complaining when he felt that the atmosphere was not right. He looked up and saw the stern-faced He Chifeng standing at the door. The rest of his words were instantly stuck in his throat and his face turned pale!
"He... He Chifeng?!" He Xingyun was so scared that he almost jumped out of the bed, which affected his ribs. The pain made him gasp and break out in a cold sweat.
He was really afraid of his nephew.
This is a reckless guy. Although his methods are certainly not as cunning as He Linchuan, He Chifeng's ruthlessness is obvious. He will take action without caring about the consequences.
What's more, he is still injured.
Now, whenever he saw any of his brothers, his ribs would ache reflexively! Especially when he saw He Chifeng's muscles that could not be hidden, he felt his ribs ache again!
He Xingyun's voice was weak, and he subconsciously shrank back, "Why...why are you here? What do you want from me?"
He Chifeng ignored his panic, closed the door, and even locked it.
A slight "click" sound made He Xingyun's heart jump suddenly, and cold sweat broke out instantly.
He Chifeng walked to the bedside and looked down at him with a cold gaze. Without any greeting, he got straight to the point:
"What are you afraid of? I came to ask you something old."
"About the video."
"Tell me everything you know, word for word."
His voice was not loud, but it carried a strong sense of oppression. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting He Xingyun's heart.
Hearing He Chifeng's question, He Xingyun's pupils shrank almost imperceptibly.
But then, his face was filled with confusion and bewilderment, even with a touch of innocence that was just right: "Video? What video? ... Chi Feng, what are you asking about? I don't know..."
He tried to laugh it off, but his eyes looked away guiltily, not daring to look He Chifeng in the eye.
He Chifeng looked at his slick appearance and his patience instantly ran out.
"Don't know?" He Chifeng's fingers seemed to be casually placed on He Xingyun's plastered chest, only an inch away from the broken ribs. His fingertips could even feel the other person's violent trembling due to fear.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc, but his eyes were frighteningly cold. "Your injury... looks painful. My brother hit you hard. Tell me... if he hits you again, will it pierce your lungs directly?"
【Author’s words】
Suddenly I remembered that a few days ago my friend said that every time I comment, I always use the formula of "thank you + emoticon package", which is like a human-machine [covering my face and laughing and crying]. It's a bit funny for some reason.
