Even though Li Shuru kept her lips sealed, as roommates who were with her day and night, Xu Siyi and the others still noticed something was off from her behavior.

After their persistent concern, Li Shuru eventually revealed the truth about her father being seriously ill and hospitalized.

Hearing this news, Zheng Jingjing and the others were deeply shocked and immediately expressed their desire to visit, but Li Shuru did not allow them to.

On Tuesday afternoon, Jiang Chen waited at the entrance of the Arts Institute in a Panamera, and in the presence of countless onlookers, he picked up Li Shuru.

“Could Shu Rui really be together with Jiang Chen?”

“Isn’t this progressing a bit too fast?”

“Shu Rui won’t let us go to the hospital, yet she allows Jiang Chen to accompany her, what does this imply?

Jiang Chen might have already met Shu Rui’s parents.”

“That’s normal.

Now that Shu Rui’s dad is this sick, she definitely needs someone she can rely on.”

Taking advantage of Zheng Jingjing and the others sending off the Panamera as it drove away, Xu Siyi quietly sent out a text message.

The Panamera smoothly exited through the school gate.

This time, Jiang Chen was driving.

“I have looked at a few houses online that are quite close to the hospital, and the environment isn’t bad either.

If it’s convenient later, we can take your aunt to have a look, and if she likes it, we can finalize the house.”

“Thank you,”

Li Shuru looked ahead, “Are you ready?”

“Ready for what?”

Jiang Chen did not understand at first.

Li Shuru turned her head, “You haven’t forgotten what I told you, have you?”

Glancing sideways at her for a moment, Jiang Chen caught on and gave a wry smile.

“Don’t worry about that, of course I’m fine.”

“It’s you,”

He countered with a question, “Are you ready?”

“Ready for what?”

“They are your parents, after all; they surely know you very well.

So if you want to deceive them, you are the key,”

Jiang Chen said while driving.

“By the way, how is your uncle doing now?

Any better?”

“He was awake for a while, but he’s mostly been in a comatose state.

The doctor said that if he doesn’t undergo surgery, the periods he’s awake will get shorter and shorter.

Now it’s once every few days, then it will be every few weeks, a month or two, and finally, he might never wake up again.”

Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment.

“Is there any news from the organ donation center?”

“Not so fast,”

Li Shuru said softly, “There are many people waiting for surgery, you have to register and queue up.”

As she spoke, she took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Jiang Chen at a red light.

“There are two million in this card.

Later, please give it to my mom.”

Jiang Chen did not refuse and took it.

“Thank you,”

Li Shuru thanked him again.

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head, “What’s there to thank, it’s not my money.”

Li Shuru didn’t respond, just watched the countdown timer of the traffic light, hesitated for a moment, and still began softly, “Your parents…

when they passed away, what were you feeling?”

For a moment, Jiang Chen’s expression froze, and he stayed silent for a while, until the red light turned green and he released the brake, and then he spoke, “When my mother passed away, I was only in junior high school.

She was a very nagging person, always had something to say about everything.

During the funeral period, I didn’t shed a single tear, and it seemed like there was no sense of sadness in my heart.”

Li Shuru turned her head, giving him a look.

“Do you think I’m a very cold-blooded person?”

Jiang Chen laughed.

“It was only after some time that I realized, when a loved one departs, people usually don’t feel sad in that moment.

What truly brings you grief is the half carton of milk left in the fridge, the devil’s ivy swaying gently in the breeze on the windowsill, the fluffy blanket neatly folded on the bed, and the din of the washing machine late at night.”

Gazing at that lightly smiling profile, Li Shuru fell into a slight trance.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Chen begin to say, “There’s no need for comforting words; it’s all in the past.

I’ve made it through the hardest days.

Look at me now, aren’t I doing quite well?”

Li Shuru fell silent, leaning back in her seat, finally understanding why some women choose men who, at first glance, seem unremarkable.

Some men appear to have nothing, yet they possess a strong spiritual force.

Those who have had an easy life, dressing in fine clothes and riding high horses like exquisitely maintained luxury yachts, have not weathered many storms, so a single jolt might leave them utterly dejected.

But Li Shuru believed that this young man beside her would not be like that.

Even if life trampled him into the mud, he would still sculpt a dandelion out of it.

Just like his demeanor over the past few years at school, no matter how much scorn and ridicule he suffered, he always appeared unaffected, calm and openhearted.

“Choosing to leave you might become Ai Qian’s biggest regret in life.”

Li Shuru said softly.

“Although you asked for my help, you don’t need to flatter me like that, I will be embarrassed.”

Jiang Chen laughed, not showing a trace of embarrassment.

Li Shuru didn’t call him thick-skinned.

“I can understand why you chose to hide your financial situation, but why, when Ai Qian was about to leave you, were you still unwilling to reveal the truth to her?

If you had told her, she might not have left you, and your ending could have been different.”

“Would it have mattered?”

Jiang Chen’s smile slowly faded.

In truth, it wasn’t that he didn’t reveal it; it was that he had been genuinely penniless at the time.

Of course.

Now he could easily reclaim his old love, but he was no longer inclined to do so.

“Have you ever thought that by doing this, you were also being unfair to Ai Qian?”

At these words, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

“Testing love with no money, and testing love with money, there’s really no fundamental difference.

Because the moment you decide to test the durability of a piece of glass, that glass is doomed to shatter.”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the girl next to him.

“If I remember correctly, Ai Qian even cursed at you once.”

Li Shuru remained unfazed, “What I said is the truth.”

Jiang Chen fell silent, pensive.

Although Li Shuru wasn’t aware of the whole truth, everyone indeed has the right to seek the happiness they desire.

So all along, he truly didn’t hate Ai Qian that much; if they had met later in life, the outcome might have been different.

But the order in which people enter our lives is not something we can control.

“Perhaps you’re right, but if feelings have to be calculated in terms of black and white, right and wrong, then there’s no point.”

Jiang Chen’s lips curled slightly as he said softly, “Maybe it’s just fate.”

Li Shuru looked out the window, quieting down.

They arrived at the Central Hospital.

Jiang Chen opened the door and stepped out, heading towards the inpatient department, but Li Shuru called out to him.

“Let’s go buy something first.”

Jiang Chen looked puzzled.

During his last visit, he had offered to buy some visiting gifts, only to be refused by Li Shuru,

“Your status is different this time.”

Seeming to realize what he was thinking, she dropped that remark and turned away.

Jiang Chen suddenly understood and promptly followed.
