fang zicheng touched his ear and did not say anything.

he felt that it was embarrassing. he was afraid that his girlfriend would break up with him, so he avoided her. this matter gave people the impression that he was a coward.

qiao jiusheng raised her arm and slapped fang zicheng’s head hard. “my idiot! she’s so worried about you, and she’s been chasing you like she’s going to break up with you?”

fang zicheng thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong. however, he said, ” that could also be a breakup … ”

“what if she’s here to make peace with you?”

fang zicheng was even more speechless.

” besides, if she really wanted to break up with you, do you really think that you can change the outcome by avoiding her? ” qiao jiusheng patted fang zicheng’s heart and said in the tone of a relationship expert, ” if she likes you, she’ll still have you in her heart even if she’s thousands of miles away. ” if she doesn’t love you, she won’t be able to hold you even if you’re so close to her. ”

” tiedan, go and talk to her. if you’re a man, don’t be so timid. ”

qiao jiusheng’s words had completely moved fang zicheng.

that’s right, what can escape solve?

if there was a problem, it would be more useful to talk about it openly than to avoid it.

“you’re right!”

fang zicheng seemed to have been enlightened and instantly figured out all the problems. this was a principle that he had understood since he was young. why was it that the older he got, the dumber he became?

“mom, i’m going to look for her. i won’t be back for dinner tonight.”

“go on.”

his silly son had finally been enlightened.

fang zicheng returned to his room to get his phone and change before leaving the house. he had to go to lu yinxi and apologize to her.

…

lu yinxi took the bus home. when she got off the bus, she felt a sharp pain in her knee when she stepped out of the car. lu yinxi bought some ointment and cotton swabs from the pharmacy outside the community.

she returned home and closed the curtains. only then did she take off her loose-fitting long pants and the warm long johns inside. her pants were not torn, but the skin on her knees was torn, and her kneecaps had turned purple.

lu yinxi opened a cotton swab, dipped it in the medicine, and wiped it on the wound.

the cold medicine seeped into the wound, and there was a piercing pain.

after she was done treating her leg, she used a cotton swab to dab the dust off her forehead and proceeded to disinfect it. lu yinxi limped to the toilet. she stared at the disfigured girl in the mirror and couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically.

“you deserve it.”

who asked you to hurt fang zicheng like that?

lu yinxi washed her hands while avoiding the wound on her palm. when she came to the living room, she realized that there were some things on the dining table. lu yinxi walked over slowly and saw a small bowl on the table with a piece of paper at the bottom.

aunt is back?

lu yinxi picked up the note and glanced at it.

lu yinxi couldn’t read her aunt’s handwriting, but she could recognize the three words that her aunt had written. she lowered her head to read the contents of the note, which read:

lu yinxi, come to the women’s and children’s hospital. i’ll wait for you there. his aunt.

women and children’s hospital?

that’s quite far.

lu yinxi wasn’t sure if her aunt had left this behind. she was worried that the murderer had forged her aunt’s handwriting to lure her to her death. lu yinxi took out her phone and called her aunt.

this time, the call went through.

without waiting for lu yinxi to ask her anything, lu ziai spoke first. ” yinxi, i have something to do at the women and children’s hospital. come to the women and children’s hospital to see me. i need you to accompany me. ”

“must i go?” lu yinxi looked down at the wound on her knee with a worried expression.

every step she took now hurt.

lu ziai nodded. ” yinxi, only you can accompany me. ”

“…alright.”

lu yinxi didn’t reject her.

first of all, her aunt had treated her well all these years. if her aunt needed her help, lu yinxi should do her best. secondly, her aunt’s voice sounded very sad over the phone. lu yinxi was a little worried about her.

she took her phone and left the house.

lu yinxi walked slowly to the entrance of the neighborhood and called for a taxi.

“where are you going, little girl?”

the driver turned around and asked her.

lu yinxi clutched her phone and said, ” go to the women and children hospital. ”

“alright,” he said.

the women and children’s hospital was very far from north city. it would take about two hours by taxi and three transfers by subway. lu yinxi’s leg was injured, so she couldn’t take the subway with those people. she had to take a taxi.

in the car, lu yinxi kept thinking about why lu ziai had asked her to go.

his aunt had said that she wanted him to accompany her to do something.

what was his aunt going to do?

besides, didn’t pregnant women and children usually go to the hospital with their babies?

could it be that my aunt … is pregnant?

lu yinxi thought it was impossible. her aunt didn’t like men. how could she be pregnant? however, if she was not pregnant, why did she have to go for a checkup?

besides, there was no rule that a woman who liked a woman couldn’t sleep with a man.

lu yinxi’s mind was in a daze. she supported her chin with one hand and looked out the window, no longer letting her thoughts run wild.

…

fang zicheng took the bus to find lu yinxi.

he got out of the car and went into the neighborhood. when he arrived at lu yinxi’s house, fang zicheng rang the doorbell. he waited for a while, but no one came to open the door. he frowned and pressed the door again.

this time, no one came to open the door.

could it be that the elk was not home?

however, she was injured and not at home. could she be in the hospital?

fang zicheng didn’t have the phone number of lu yinxi’s old man, so he couldn’t contact her. he had no choice but to activate his hearing ability and search for lu yinxi’s inner voice among the thousands of people.

he searched for more than ten minutes.

women and children.

his aunt.

pregnant.

elk’s aunt is pregnant?

did elk go to the women and children hospital?

fang zicheng immediately turned around and went downstairs. he was planning to go home and wait for lu yinxi to come back. he walked to the entrance of the community, turned left, and walked toward dragon harbor.

“little girl, we’ve arrived!”

the driver reminded lu yinxi to pay up and get off.

“how much is it?”

“150.”

lu yinxi painfully gave him the money. she got out of the car and called lu ziai. this time, lu ziai only picked up the phone after more than ten seconds. “yinxi, have you arrived?” lu ziai felt like there was wind in his ears.

lu yinxi felt strange. where was her aunt?

she hummed in acknowledgment and asked lu ziai, ” auntie, where are you? i’ll come find you.”

lu ziai ignored her question and asked, ” where are you? ”

” we’re at the main entrance of the women and children’s ward, ” lu yinxi said.

“raise your head.”

lu yinxi was confused, but she still looked up.

lu ziai was wearing a camel-colored trench coat and a beret. her long hair hung down in front of her chest, and the wind ruffled her hair. she looked like a sea swallow standing in front of a cliff, about to spread its wings and fly.
