Han Qiqing was actually worried that she would be scolded by Yin Shaojie for not taking care of Xiaoxiao properly like last time, but she thought that since Xiaoxiao must be going to look for Yin Shaojie and he was just outside, she didn’t need to accompany her.

Mu Xiaoxiao hurried out of the place, afraid that Lu Yichen had already ended the call, but he hadn’t.

She answered the call, panting a little. “Hello, Lu Yichen, what’s up?”

“Is now a convenient time?” Lu Yichen could probably hear that she was outside and thus asked such a question. His voice sounded soft, and she couldn’t hear how he was feeling.

Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he wouldn’t have called her if he was alright.

She answered, “I’m free right now. Tell me what’s up.”

To facilitate the conversation, she walked towards a spot where there was less traffic, avoiding the noisier zones.

Lu Yichen was silent for a little while before saying, “My mom has already told me about the stuff you know.”

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. “What… stuff are you referring to?”

Was he referring to his background or Auntie Lu’s health condition?

Lu Yichen understood what she meant, however, and replied, “Both things.”

Mu Xiaoxiao apologized hastily. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to purposely inquire about your private matters…”

Lu Yichen interrupted her instead and said, “I know. It was my mom who told you out of her own accord, so it isn’t your fault.”

Lu Yichen was currently at the hospital standing in a dark corner and leaning against the wall. He had been staying strong all morning, but it seemed that he was tired now, revealing his fatigued expression.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m actually quite glad about it.” His handsome face seemed to hold the hint of a smile in the darkness.

“Ah?” Mu Xiaoxiao was confused and surprised.

She had thought that he would accuse her of sticking her nose in business that she didn’t belong in or flare up at her. Never had she imagined such a reaction.

His said in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that we’re friends? So I’ve been really worried about how you would react once you found out about my background.”

After all, she was acquainted with his father, and even if his mom hadn’t told her about it, she would have found out about it one day anyway.

Mu Xiaoxiao replied hurriedly, “I don’t feel anything towards it. To me, you’re still you.”

Lu Yichen’s fatigued expression seemed to be relieved a little because of her words.

There was also a little tenderness showing on his face amidst the darkness.

“Also, you don’t have to worry about my mom’s health. I’ll take care of that myself.”

When he mentioned this, Mu Xiaoxiao only felt her heart become a little heavier again.

This was because she had sought out the doctor to ask for specifics before she left the hospital in the afternoon, and she had found out that Lu Qianlan was having problems with her kidneys. If the problems were serious, she would have to undergo a transplant, which was extremely expensive.

It would be a cost that was too high even for Lu Yichen’s already large scholarship amount to bear.

Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to tell him to let her help, for money wasn’t a problem for her family at all.

However, she suddenly couldn’t speak the words.

Every person had their pride and dignity, and Lu Yichen was no exception. If he said that he could manage and she interfered liberally, it would be a sign of disrespect to him.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and replied, “Okay, I understand. But if… you can’t manage anymore, you must tell me, okay?”

“Okay,” Lu Yichen’s gentle voice replied.

…

On the other side.

After Yin Shaojie exited from the bar, he walked down a road. There was a carpark there with an area that was shaded by trees and had low human traffic.

Under the shade stood a petite figure.
