One week later, Lin Yixun finally couldn’t resist Lin’s mother’s persuasion and had to agree to go back to work. But she had one condition—her mother couldn’t be discharged from the hospital.
To set her mind at ease, Lin Yixun specifically hired a caretaker. During work hours, the caretaker looked after Lin’s mother, and after work, she would come to the hospital.
Although Lin’s mother’s condition was relatively stable, Lin Yixun understood that this was only temporary. She was burning with anxiety but could do nothing but wait.
That day, Lin Yixun came back from work and saw Lin’s mother chatting and laughing with the patient in the neighboring bed. Her complexion and spirits were much better than a few days ago.
Lin Yixun couldn’t help but be happy, "Mom, what are you and Aunt Wu talking about that’s making you so happy?"
Perhaps it was because of mutual sympathy; in these few days in the ward, her mother and Aunt Wu from the next bed had become familiar.
Aunt Wu saw Lin Yixun and grinned from ear to ear, "Xiao Xun is back? Your mom and I are talking about her future son-in-law."
Future son-in-law?
Lin Yixun was puzzled. She didn’t even have a boyfriend, so where did this future son-in-law come from? She looked at Lin’s mother and saw her smiling eyes and brows.
"Xiao Xing was here just now."
"Xing Yi was here? Where is he?"
"He’s already gone. Said he had classes at night."
Lin Yixun’s gaze fell on the carnations and fruit basket at the bedside and asked, "Did he bring these?"
"Yes." Lin’s mother seemed to be in a very good mood, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
Aunt Wu laughed and said, "That kid is very polite, tall and handsome. Xiao Xun, you must seize the opportunity. It’s hard to find such an excellent guy even with a lantern."
Lin Yixun smiled awkwardly. Indeed, he was so outstanding that she dared not even think about it.
During dinner, Lin’s mother opened a drawer, took out a card, and handed it to Lin Yixun, saying softly, "Xiao Xing forced this card on me when he came by. Find a time to return it to him."
Lin Yixun’s eyes couldn’t hide her astonishment. She had never seen anyone give a bank card directly to a patient on their first meeting.
"I don’t know how much money is in it, but although we’re poor, we can’t accept people’s kindness for no reason. Xiao Xun, we must return this card. Tell Xiao Xing, I appreciate his kindness."
Lin Yixun nodded, took the bank card from Lin’s mother’s hand and felt the weight, as if it were an unbearable burden. She and Xing Yi had only met a few times; they weren’t even close. His gesture left her unable to bear it.
After dinner and a long while later, Lin Yixun guessed Xing Yi was probably off work and dialed his number.
The phone was quickly answered, "Yixun?"
"Senior, it’s me." Lin Yixun bit her lip and said softly, "Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"
"I have two classes in the afternoon, but after that, I’m free."
"Then... I’ll come to T University to find you tomorrow."
"Is something wrong?"
"It’s nothing, I just want to treat you to a meal." Lin Yixun didn’t directly mention her purpose, thinking it would be better to return the card in person.
Coincidentally, Ouyang Hao wasn’t at the apartment the next day and didn’t make things difficult for her. She finished work relatively early and by the time she got to T University, Xing Yi was still in class.
T University seemed to be hosting some event today; every parking spot on campus was occupied. Walking past the library, Lin Yixun saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Her eyes briefly paused, followed by a self-mocking smile. How could that person be here? Was she perhaps being overly cautious?
