Lin Zhixia finally couldn't resist, so she followed Wu Mengqing to a coffee shop near the hospital. Yang Ruo'an originally wanted to accompany her here, but she was no better than before, so she just let her go home first.
Sitting in the coffee shop, the two of them were silent for a while. Lin Zhixia looked at the constant flow of vehicles on the road outside the glass window, secretly sighing sadly that time really flies by. She remembered that the last time Zhang Fan came to the kindergarten gate to look for her was a month ago. , I heard the news about him again, but it turned out that he was already ill, and life was always unpredictable like going against the current.
Wu Mengqing looked at Lin Zhixia who was sitting opposite and staring out the window. Thinking of the past, she began to regret it for a moment. She was still too young at that time and wanted to get Zhang Fan's approval, so she was a little careful.
That summer, the weather in Lancheng was extremely hot and muggy, with high temperatures persisting every day and no rain for a long time.
Lin Zhixia and Zhang Fan were at the same level. Because of their different majors, they got to know each other and gradually got in touch after participating in the same club activities.
Because they were both from T city, Zhang Fan always took the initiative to ask Lin Zhixia to have dinner or go to the library to read together. Gradually, the relationship between the two became familiar, and then the two naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend.
At that time, Wu Mengqing had been pursuing Zhang Fan for a long time. When she learned that Lin Zhixia and Zhang Fan were together, she almost went crazy with jealousy, but still did not give up. In her own words, "As long as it is not a legal relationship, then She still has a chance."
So she chose to retreat in order to advance, and often appeared by Zhang Fan's side as a friend, so she also knew what happened at his home.
That year, Zhang Fan's mother was seriously ill, and the family urgently needed a lot of money to treat his mother's illness. However, his father did not have a formal job at the time and only worked part-time jobs occasionally. It was impossible to afford the expense, so this heavy The burden fell on Zhang Fan.
During that time, he became very busy, leaving early and returning late every day. Lin Zhixia couldn't even see him for half a month. She called worriedly and asked: "Zhang Fan, has something happened?"
"No, it's just that there have been a lot of issues recently. It will be better after a while."
Zhang Fan had too much self-esteem and didn't want Lin Zhixia to know about his family affairs, so he didn't tell the truth and just found an excuse to comfort him.
During that time, Zhang Fan and Lin Zhixia rarely met each other. Even if they did meet, they would leave in a hurry after saying a few words. And because Wu Mengqing introduced him to many jobs that paid quickly, the two of them often appeared together. On campus, rumors began to spread in the school that they had broken up.
When Yang Ruo'an came to ask Lin Zhixia, she was still confused, but she still defended Zhang Fan and said resolutely: "It's impossible."
But when Lin Zhixia saw it with her own eyes a few days later, she realized that she was completely wrong. The person who told her that he was busy every day was now with other girls.
Before she could go to Zhang Fan to question what was going on, Wu Mengqing went to find herself first.
At that time, the two of them were sitting in a coffee shop just like they are now, but at that time Wu Mengqing was domineering, proud and complacent, and did not take Lin Zhixia seriously.
Time flies, and when we meet again, she has smoothed the edges of her body, "I'm sorry, I owe you an apology."
Lin Zhixia turned around, looked at the person apologizing in front of her, and smiled slightly. She now has a new life and doesn't want to be entangled with the past anymore. She picked up her phone and looked at the time and said, "I accept your apology." , I have something to do later, if you have anything to say, please just say it."
Wu Mengqing took a sip of the coffee on the table, adjusted her emotions, and said bitterly: "Actually, Zhang Fan didn't betray you that year. I came to you on my own initiative. During that time, something happened in their family. Well, his mother is seriously ill and needs a lot of money to be hospitalized."
Lin Zhixia suddenly became stunned and unresponsive. After a while, she stammered: "At that time, I didn't know at that time."
Wu Mengqing smiled bitterly, "He takes you too seriously, so he doesn't want to tell you, and he doesn't want you to be troubled and burdened with him."
After speaking, she turned her head and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that fell from her eyes. She calmed down and continued: "He was in need of money at that time, so I took this opportunity to introduce him to work and stayed with him from time to time. There are those rumors in slow school. He originally wanted to explain to you, but I stopped him. I told him that with your personality, he would definitely not believe it. The main thing now is to gather enough aunties. medical expenses.”
Wu Mengqing's tears couldn't stop, like raindrops, one drop after another. Lin Zhixia reached out and picked up the tissue next to her and handed it over, saying, "Wipe it first."
Wu Mengqing took the tissue and said with a sobbing voice: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Zhixia shook her head. She understood Wu Mengqing's mood at this moment. Just like she had been for the past six years, the pain was held in her heart and was difficult to express. She could only bear it deep in her heart and bear it alone.
Wu Mengqing took a few deep breaths and readjusted her mind, "Actually, he had a very hard time during that time, working several jobs every day, but how could his little salary be enough to cover such high medical expenses, so... So I proposed to him that if he broke up with you, he could go abroad with me and I would help him pay for his mother’s medical expenses. At that time, he rejected me harshly. I thought I would never have a chance again, but I never thought about it. A few days later he came back again."
Hearing this, Lin Zhixia probably understood what was going on. She didn't expect that her first relationship would be so bloody. It was even more exciting than a novel. She smiled bitterly and asked, "Is he okay now?"
When Lin Zhixia asked about Zhang Fan, Wu Mengqing's face became obviously excited, "It's very bad. He has been refusing treatment and surgery."
Lin Zhixia looked at Wu Mengqing confused, "Why?"
"because of you."
Lin Zhixia was even more confused after hearing this. The reason why he refused treatment was actually related to her. Wu Mengqi looked at the confused Lin Zhixia and took the initiative to explain, "Not long after he went abroad with me, his mother passed away. Even with his dignity The high medical expenses he received in exchange could not save his mother's life. From then on, he became increasingly depressed, numbing himself with alcohol all day long, and his food was not good. I threatened him with his future, but he still failed. It worked. It wasn't until I mentioned your name in front of him that he slowly changed his mind little by little and persisted, but his stomach was also hurt. Since the last time he saw you, His form is back, and this time it's not going well."
Wu Mengqing stared in the direction of the hospital, staring blankly for a long time, and pleadingly said to Lin Zhixia: "Zhixia, please, can you go to the hospital to see him, otherwise he will really die."
Lin Zhixia stared blankly out of the window. It was impossible to say that she was not touched at all. The feeling that even her breathing was suppressed lingered in her heart again. Looking at Wu Mengqing who was full of expectations in front of her, she finally did not hesitate. He made up his mind and said, "Let me think about it."
