Chapter 618: Chapter 620: Long Division Leads to Union (1)
Of course, in the end, Lu Weixi didn’t let him have his way, slapping him across the face and scratching his cheek several times. She left him in the living room and retreated to her bedroom.
Qin Zhiyou ended up spending the night sleeping on the sofa in the living room, not rising until the next morning.
Nothing had happened between them, but Qin Zhigu had decided to “believe what he saw,” refusing to call and verify, even ignoring her calls. He was completely convinced that she had betrayed him.
The so-called news he heard from his roommates simply mentioned Qin Zhiyou driving to her school to find her. Unable to locate her, he then drove to her home.
Indeed, Qin Zhiyou had driven to her house, but his main purpose was to address Lu’s mother’s illness!
…
At this point in the story, Lu Weixi from the opposite side paused for a moment.
Her cup of coffee was finished, and glancing down at the empty cup, she frowned slightly, then pushed the cup to the side.
However, Qin Zhigu summoned the waiter: “Another cup of coffee. Do you have any liquor here?”
The waiter shook his head: “I’m sorry, we only serve coffee here. There’s no liquor.”
In reality, he doesn’t need any liquor, because these words are already painful and infuriating enough for him.
Qin Zhiyou was right, when he should’ve fought for her, he didn’t. But when he finally wanted to fight, he had already lost the qualification.
He didn’t even have the right to demand, “Why didn’t you come to me?”
From the first semester of her senior year to the Lantern Festival, Lu Weixi often called him, wanting to meet, or even come to his school to find him. But it was him, out of anger, jealousy, and bitterness from being “betrayed”, who did not want to meet her, inadvertently severing the opportunity to explain or help her.
Even if he did not answer her calls before, it wouldn’t have mattered, but on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Kong Jie answered Lu Weixi’s call and told him about it. What did he do then?
Qin Zhigu calmly hung up the phone–
At that time, he thought he needed some time to calm down. Then, when the new semester begins, he planned to have a straightforward conversation with Lu Weixi. He intended to tell her everything he saw and listen to her explanations.
But he did not expect that before that day came, he would see such a scene on the night of the Lantern Festival.
No need to talk about what happened next, the next day, heartbroken and furious, he went back to the Qin family. Cai Yiren’s unrequited confession led her to cry, cause a commotion, and attempt suicide. She used her suicide attempt to gain his sympathy. Coincidentally, the hospital treating Cai Yiren was the same where Lu’s mother was receiving cancer treatment.
Thus, under the pretext of visiting Cai Yiren, he observed from a distance, and indeed saw Qin Zhiyou visiting Lu every day.
At that time, his distrust of Lu Weixi had reached its apex. Blinded by anger, he didn’t stop and think about why Lu Weixi would frequently visit the hospital. He never asked.
Anyway, he watched as Qin Zhiyou eagerly visited her every day. Although Lu Weixi might not have been particularly welcoming, at that time, she was only a 22-year-old senior student, jobless and homeless, with no one to rely on. Alone in the hospital with her mother, even disliking Qin Zhiyou and being strong herself, having someone by her side would’ve brought some comfort.
Moreover, since the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, she never tried to contact Qin Zhigu again. Due to caring for her mother, she didn’t even attend school and practically stayed at the hospital every day. On the other hand, Cai Yiren was getting closer and closer to him…
