Chapter 69: Old Wounds Reopen

  Cen Yanqiu never thought that he would receive a call from Su Lianyu during the winter break. He heard that Su Lianyu was in the hospital, so Cen Yanqiu hastily rushed to the hospital.

  Inside the ward, Su Lianyu was alone. The white curtains were slightly fluttering in the wind outside.

  Su Lianyu lay on the hospital bed, gazing faintly out of the window. The cold wind was blowing in, and the curtains were gently swaying. Spring was just around the corner, but the hospital room still felt unbearably chilly.

  Little Feather

  A hasty yet gentle voice sounded at the door. Su Lianyu didn't need to turn his head to know it was his mom who had arrived. He still slightly turned his head, and saw that his usually gentle mother now had an angry expression. He also somewhat understood in his heart. Hurriedly forcing a smile, "Mom..."

  "Where did you go today?" Su Lianyu's mother, Jiang Lan, was a gentle and beautiful housewife who doted on her precious son. Usually, she spoiled him a bit. Today, when she couldn't find him at the hospital, she was filled with worry. Now that she saw him lying safely in bed, her heart finally calmed down. However, she still couldn't help but scold him.

  Su Lianyu raised her right hand, slightly clenched her fist, gently stroked the tip of her nose, and smiled: "I didn't go anywhere. The hospital is boring. I went out for a walk."

  "Do you want to get up quickly? If you do, don't run around like that when you go out. What if you fall again? You know, I and your father..."

  "Mom..." Su Lianyu let out a quiet sigh. What he couldn't stand the most was when his mom started chattering on and on about how she and dad had done this and that for him, and how he hadn't listened to them. He already listened enough. Apart from usually liking to stay at home playing computer games, he didn't have any bad habits. His grades were also average. As an ordinary boy, he was already doing his best.

  He saw his son's impatient face again, Jiang Lan sighed silently and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She slowly walked into the ward with a boxed lunch in her hand. "Are you hungry? Eat quickly. I'll go ask the doctor how your injury is today."

  "Hmm." Su Lianyu responded softly. Then she picked up the lunch box her mother had brought and began eating to herself.

  Jiang Lan didn't say anything else, seeing her son eating obediently, she also put down her heart, and the gentle expression on her face was restored, then she walked out of the door.

  Su Lianyu saw her mother leave, gently putting down the lunchbox in her hand. She was used to pretending to be a good child in front of her father and mother, always doing things she didn't like just to make them feel at ease. Like now, she didn't want to eat anything, but ate anyway so as not to anger her mother.

  All he saw was his clear eyebrows furrowed, turning away, and looking out the window again. Not early or late, just in time to see a flying bird swooping across the sky. Free. In the distant sky. He finally understood. Originally without wings, both feet are free. He thought of getting up, thinking of relying on these two feet, walking to her front.

  Of course. At this time, Cen Yanqiu had already arrived outside the ward. Looking at Su Lianyu lying on the hospital bed, he slightly furrowed his brow and said: "Gai Zi, how are you feeling today?"

  Unconsciously, a semester of the same class has passed. Cen Yanqiu and his classmates in the animation club are all like Luo Xuanling, calling Su Lianyu "Gai Zi". Specifically, how this title came from, Cen Yanqiu doesn't know.

  "Ball, you're here." Su Lianyu was originally staring out the window, but when he heard Chen Yanqiu's voice, he turned his head back and gave a slight smile.

  This smile really made Qin Yanqiu feel honored and surprised. Su Lianyu, although not as cold as Leng Yiyang, who never smiled, would not smile so warmly at people either. Qin Yanqiu couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Whenever Su Lianyu was like this, there must be some trouble that needed his help.

  "How did you end up in the hospital again?" Xun Yanqiu couldn't help but roll his eyes. He hadn't forgotten the first time he saw Su Qianyu, standing outside the gates of Qi Kai Girls' High School with a crutch. Although after that, Su Qianyu had gone back to school as usual, he had taken a year off due to his leg injury. This was something everyone knew. Xun Yanqiu had thought he had fully recovered already.

  The last dinner party was the stage play written by Su Linyu. Xun Yanqiu and he spent a semester together, and the two people slowly became good friends. Although Su Linyu usually doesn't talk much, he will appear at very critical moments, giving off an overwhelming feeling. After all, Su Linyu looks elegant and speaks with elegance, making him likable.

  Cen Yanqiu knew that Su Lianyu had a girlfriend, who was Sheng Xue, a beautiful and charming girl from Qi Kai Girls' High School. Her every move and smile could captivate people's hearts. She was the dream lover of countless nerds, gentlemen, rich handsome men, short poor losers.

  Su Lianyu, this elegant young man, actually got together with a goddess-like figure like Sheng Xue. Qin Yanqiu was really impressed and admired him deeply.

  When he received Su Lianyu's phone call, Cen Yanqiu was a little puzzled. Why did she go to the hospital again? Wasn't everything fine before?

  At this time, Su Lianyu was right in front of Cen Yanqiu. Cen Yanqiu looked at him and found that there was no change in his expression, and his face was still rosy, giving off a strong feeling of being lovesick.

  "What's wrong with you again?" Cen Yanqiu took out his hands from his pockets and sat down carelessly on the side seat, looking at Su Lianyu with a helpless expression. He really couldn't figure it out - how could such a tall and strong man be so weak and fragile?

  But it's true, just like Leng Yiyang. He suddenly got leukemia without any warning signs and left the campus. Xun Yanqiu still can't contact Leng Yiyang now, nor his family members. Nobody knows how Leng Yiyang is doing now. Many times I really want to know about his situation but feel helpless. Classmates in the club deliberately avoid mentioning Leng Yiyang, including Ouyang Yunqing who still wears a smile on her face every day, looking carefree and heartless. But everyone knows how she feels inside. Although nobody says anything, their eyes still linger.

  Su Lianyu helplessly shrugged her shoulders and said, "Old wounds have relapsed. It's nothing serious. I just might not be able to walk for a holiday period. So don't even think about going out for the entire holiday."

  "I'm really curious, how did you break that leg." Cen Yanqiu slightly tilted his head, furrowed his brow, and waited for Su Lin Yu's response.

  When Chi Yan Qiu asked this, Su Lin Yu's face first sank, and it was unknown how long it took before he slowly raised his eyelids, smiled faintly, more out of helplessness. He looked at Chi Yan Qiu and said, "It's all in the past now, what's the point of bringing it up."

  "Isn't that the reason for the fall? What's so unspeakable? Could it be..." Xun Yanqiu sneered at Su Qianyu, with many scenes flashing through his mind.

  Su Lianyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "What's wrong."
