My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 619: Chapter 621: Long Separated must Unite (2)

A few days later, she returned to school. As a senior, she’d pretty much completed all her coursework. As for Qin Zhisu, even though he had no romantic feelings for Cai Yiren, nor had he broken any rules, he visited her daily in the hospital for some reason, be it to see Lu Weixi, or to observe her and Qin Zhiyou, or for some other reason. Cai Yiren’s minor injury would have allowed her to be discharged on the same day if she wasn’t aiming for sympathy. She intentionally prolonged her hospital stay, claiming to wait for her stitches to be removed.

As a senior, as long as she handed in her graduation thesis on time, everything would be all set. Other than the thesis, they were busy job-hunting. Those who didn’t make it to graduate studies, or had applied for it, had to run around at various job fairs.

Of course, this didn’t concern Lu Weixi. She initially intended to go abroad with Qin Zhisu, but after her parents’ divorce battle last semester, she didn’t receive much money. Concerned about leaving her mother alone in China, she chose to apply for grad school. Of course, she discussed this with Qin Zhisu, but at the time, he didn’t make it clear whether he would go abroad or stay.

Even after Cai Yiren was discharged, Qin Zhisu continued to sneak off to the hospital. They both had cell phones and could talk through a wall, yet he did nothing.

The turning point occurred the day before they broke up.

After a month of hospital treatment, especially chemotherapy shortly after admission, Lu’s mother’s cancer had subsided. However, due to the significant side effects of chemotherapy, Lu had to be by her side constantly. Once her mother’s health finally stabilized and she could be temporarily discharged, Lu managed to find time to clarify matters with Qin Zhisu.

She also sensed the danger in their relationship — no communication, no meetings, no calls. They were living in the same city, but it felt like a long-distance relationship.

If he still decided to go abroad, she’d wish him well. Given her mother’s current condition, she could no longer go with him to America. With a disease like cancer, she didn’t know how much longer her mother had — maybe a few months, maybe a year. Her mother only had her now, she couldn’t leave.

This time when she called Qin Zhisu, he finally picked up.

Qin Zhisu’s voice came from the phone, sounding as distant as someone from the previous century, “What’s up?”

“Are you free tomorrow? I have something to tell you.”

I also have something to tell you. Qin Zhisu silently echoed in his heart, assuming that Lu Weixi was finally about to unveil her cards. Were they going to break up?

He nodded and responded, “Sure. Where do you want to meet?”

“I don’t mind, you choose.”

In that moment, the once inseparable couple felt somewhat awkward. After some hesitation, Qin Zhisu said, “I’m not in school. How about the coffee shop near your house? Is ten in the morning okay?”

The moment he mentioned the coffee shop, Lu Weixi understood immediately. Qin Zhisu had often waited for her or dropped her home there. But the issue was, the place he referred as “near your house” was no longer her home.

“Okay.” Nonetheless, Lu Weixi didn’t correct him, agreeing to the arrangement.

The next morning, she arrived ten minutes later than scheduled.
