The car steadily stopped at the entrance of the hospital where Xu Jiamu was. Qiao Anhao glanced at the bustling hospital entrance, then turned to look at Lu Jinnian. "Thank you for driving me here."
Lu Jinnian stared unwaveringly at the hospital outside the car window, his jaw tight. After a long while, he let out an "Mmh".
Qiao Anhao paused for a while, then said to Lu Jinnian, "Then I'll go down first, Aunt Xu is still waiting for me inside."
"Alright..." Lu Jinnian dragged out his words, feeling a wave of sourness in his throat. He almost stepped on the accelerator again.
Qiao Anhao pulled on the car door, realizing that it was locked from the inside. She turned her head to remind Lu Jinnian.
Lu Jinnian let out an "Mmh", then raised his hand in a panic. When he unlocked the door, he actually lit up the car's headlights. He hurriedly changed it.
Qiao Anhao heard the "Kacha" sound from the car. She pushed the door open again and got out. When she closed the door, she thought for a moment, then turned to Lu Jinnian and said, "Goodbye."
Lu Jinnian nodded. Just as Qiao Anhao was about to slam the door shut, he said, "Qiao Qiao..."
Qiao Anhao froze, as though someone had pressed her pressure points. She and Lu Jinnian had known each other for so many years, and he had always called her Qiao Anhao, classmate Qiao, Miss Qiao... But he had never called her by her pet name like Qiao Anxia and Xu Jiamu did.
Qiao Anhao's fingers gripped the car door tightly. On the surface, she looked calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
Lu Jinnian seemed to have realized that in a moment of desperation, he had actually called her by her pet name countless times. His expression froze for a moment, then he continued to say calmly, "After visiting Jiamu, remember to see a doctor. Stomach problems can be serious."
"I will." Qiao Anhao couldn't explain why, but at that moment, she felt a little sad. She forced a bright smile at Lu Jinnian, then said "Goodbye". Seeing Lu Jinnian nod, her lips moved as though to say "Goodbye", but because her voice was too soft, she didn't hear it. Then she closed the car door, turned, and walked into the hospital.
Lu Jinnian sat in the car, staring at her back view. Even after she disappeared from his sight, he continued to stare at her.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that all these years, he seemed to have been staring at her back repeatedly.
When they were in junior high, he would secretly hide on the way home, watching her and Qiao Anxia or Xu Jiamu as they chatted and played.
When he was in high school, there were many times when he would stand at the entrance of the school building and stare at her back amidst the crowd of people.
When they were in university, every time she went to Hangzhou and left, he would secretly send her off. However, she didn't know that he was standing outside the airport, outside the train station, watching her back view as she went through the security check.
Even now, it was still the same …
Actually, there were many times, as long as she turned around, she would be able to see him. It was just that many times, many times, she didn't even look back.
Xu Jiamu stayed in the best ward in the hospital. The Xu family had spent a lot of manpower and money to build an entire floor, so no one would enter or leave.
The nurse at the door recognized Qiao Anhao and seemed to be waiting for her. When she saw her come out of the elevator, she immediately led her into the ward.
