He Jinghan looked at Rong Qi, who had her head bowed, and a ripple of emotion washed over him. The wind was blowing outside, but his face still felt unnaturally warm. The two of them stood there in silence as if they were a picturesque scene straight out of an art gallery.
Shall we go for a walk? suggested He Jinghan.
Sure, Rong Qi agreed without hesitation.
They descended from the building and walked toward the wooded area. Rong Qi kept her hands in her pockets, her silence complementing the tranquil atmosphere.
How have you been at the Rong residence? Rong Feiyu hasnt been attending cla.s.ses lately. Has something happened to your family? He Jinghan probed, packing a lot of information into that single sentence.
Rong Qi pondered for a moment. Everythings fine at the Rong residence. Nothings happened. Why? Are you concerned about Rong Feiyu?
Her eyebrows lifted subtly, and a slight smile crept across her lips.
He Jinghan sighed inwardly, knowing full well that wasnt his intent. As they reached the edge of a lake, Rong Qis phone began to ring.
I have to take this, she said, pulling out her phone.
He Jinghan nodded, his gaze tenderly following her.
Upon answering, Rong Qis eyebrows furrowed. Which hospital?
Understood, she said curtly before hanging up.
He Jinghan noticed her uneasy expression and his own brow furrowed. What happened?
Rong Feiyus father had a car accident, she revealed.
What? He Jinghan didnt dwell on Rong Qis choice of words, but a rock seemed to lodge itself in his chest. Dont worry. Doctors are taking care of him, and your medical skills are excellent. Your father will be fine.
Rong Qi remained silent for a moment, accepting He Jinghans comforting words. Deep down, however, she wasnt that concerned. She didnt have much affection for her father, Rong Tians.h.i.+.
Shall I go to the hospital with you?
Its okay. Ill go check on him. Could you notify the instructors that I wont be attending cla.s.ses later?
With that, Rong Qi put her phone back in her pocket and turned to leave, her expression as impa.s.sive as ever.
He Jinghan watched her retreating figure, a swirl of emotions clouding his heart. In his eyes, Rong Qi was tough on the outside but tender within. Despite her cold demeanor when she heard about her fathers accident, he caught a fleeting glimpse of complexity in her eyes.
As soon as she left the campus, Rong Qi had Xu Yi drive her to the city hospital. The car accident from the day before had been severe. The doctors had resuscitated her father once, and hed regained consciousness for a brief period before slipping back into a coma.
Seated in the back of the car, Rong Qi looked out the window. The news was somewhat sudden for her. She thought, Rong Tians.h.i.+ was always so cautious, how could he get into a car accident?
Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She looked at the text from Ye Nanshen. [Lu Chengzhou will do his best. Ill come find you after the meeting.]
Rong Qi replied with a single word[Okay]and put her phone away. When she reached the twelfth floor of the city hospital, where the ICU was located, she saw w.a.n.g Qing, Rong Feiyu, and an old lady with a walking stick sitting in the hallway.
w.a.n.g Qing stood up immediately upon seeing Rong Qi, her tone dripping with sarcasm. Well, if it isnt Miss Rong Qi? What brings you here today?
w.a.n.g Qings face was bandaged and her lips were swollen and cracked. Despite this, she still managed to speak, albeit with a lisp.
Rong Qi frowned. She hadnt kicked w.a.n.g Qing in the face. How did her injuries seem to have spread?
Choosing not to engage in conversation, Rong Qi leaned against the wall. She remained standing, her posture as casual as ever.
w.a.n.g Qing was irked by Rong Qis nonchalant demeanor. She clenched her fists, about to speak, when a voice suddenly erupted from behind her..
