She didn't want her dream to become reality. She didn't want to regret it when it was too late.
Tong Qiao let go of Shuxin and wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand. Her voice was hoarse from crying. "I want to go to the hospital."
Shuxin knew what Tong Qiao meant. She held her hand tightly and said solemnly, "Have you really made up your mind?"
Tong Qiao was silent for a few seconds before she said firmly, "Yes."
Shuxin gently wiped away Tong Qiao's tears. "Okay, I'll go with you."
Tong Qiao got out of bed and went to wash up. Shuxin called Wei Zichen and asked for a leave of absence.
The two of them cleaned up and left the dorm together.
When they went downstairs, Shuxin's phone rang. It was an unknown number. The caller ID showed that it was from Fan City.
Shuxin hesitated for a moment before answering the call. Yang Ji's voice came over the phone. "My suitcase is here. I'm at the school gate."
"Give me a moment. I'll get it right away."
Shuxin hung up the phone and said to Tong Qiao, "Give me a moment. I'm going to get something." Then she turned and went back inside.
After a while, Shuxin came back with an umbrella. It was the one that Huo Yanqing had given her.
Although it wasn't raining, the dark clouds were rolling in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain heavily.
Tong Qiao thought that Shuxin had brought the umbrella in case she needed it, so she didn't ask.
Shuxin, on the other hand, explained as she walked towards the school gate. "Someone lent me the umbrella. I wanted to ask Yang Ji to help me return it."
Shuxin and Tong Qiao arrived at the school gate. Yang Ji was standing outside the guardhouse, waiting for them.
Tong Qiao took the suitcase and said to Yang Ji, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Yang Ji looked at Shuxin and was about to say something when Shuxin interrupted him.
"Yang Ji, can you do me a favor?"
"Please speak."
Shuxin handed the umbrella to Yang Ji. "This umbrella belongs to Uncle Wu. Can you give it to him for me?"
Yang Ji turned his head and looked across the road. He turned back to Shuxin and said, "The Fifth Lord doesn't like others to touch his things. You should give it to him yourself. He's over there."
"Ah?" Shuxin followed Yang Ji's gaze in surprise. A familiar black Rolls-Royce was parked across the road.
"I told the Fifth Lord about what happened last night. He said he wanted to see you," Yang Ji said.
"Oh … Ah?" Shuxin's beautiful eyes slightly widened, her heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated, and her face unconsciously turned red. "You said that Fifth Uncle … specially came to see me?"
"Yes."
Tong Qiao knew that Shuxin was working on the proposal for the Huo Group. After the final mock exam, she didn't come to school, so she didn't know what happened after that.
However, Tong Qiao could guess something from Shuxin's reaction. She said to Shuxin, "I'll take the suitcase back to the dormitory. You can go and return the umbrella." Then she pulled the suitcase and walked into the school gate.
"Miss Xin, The Fifth Lord is waiting for you in the car," Yang Ji reminded her when he saw her standing still.
Shuxin pursed her lips and tightened her grip on the umbrella. Then she walked over to the car across the road.
Shuxin came to the car and knocked on the window.
The next moment, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing Huo Yanqing's handsome face.
Even though this wasn't the first time they had met, Shuxin's heart still palpitated every time she saw Huo Yanqing's gorgeous face. She lowered her eyes and said, "Uncle Wu, I'm here to return the umbrella."
Beep!
The car door unlocked.
