Fu Tingyu suddenly tightened his grip on his phone. He didn’t know much about what happened to the girl at school. If his brother hadn’t told him about it, he might not know that the girl was being criticized at school.
“Brother, you’ve been together with sister-in-law for almost three years, right? Why have you kept your relationship a secret?” Fu Tingyan asked again.
Although he had never admitted that Qin Shu was his sister-in-law, he was curious as to why she had kept it a secret?
There was one more thing he didn’t mention. Back in high school, Qin Shu was the target of his classmate’s ridicule too.
Fu Tingyu’s eyes darkened.
It was Qin Shu’s idea of keeping it a secret. As for the reason, he knew it was because she didn’t want others to know about their relationship.
He had his considerations for agreeing to it..
Now that when he knew about the girl at school, he wanted to make their identities public again.
Fu Tingyan put away his phone, glanced at Qin Shu in the classroom, and turned to leave.
After class.
Qin Shu held her textbook in one hand and her phone in the other and dialled Han Xiao’s phone.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
“Han Xiao, how are you now?”
“I’m fine. How about you?”
Han Xiao sat in his wheelchair and looked at the flowers in the backyard. It was obvious that he had not moved for four to five hours.
He was in the south, and the climate was much warmer than the capital. There was no winter here, and there was no snow.
He moved and took out his phone when he saw Qin Shu calling.
He didn’t change his phone number because he didn’t want Qin Shu to think too much about it.
“I’m fine now.”
Qin Shu let out a sigh of relief when she heard this. She walked out of the school building and saw a vast expanse of white on the campus. She said, “It snowed for two days in the capital. The snow is very thick.”
The weather in JiangChen and the capital was roughly the same.
Han Xiao looked at the spring scenery in the garden and thought of how she had told her about her home on the mountain. It was like spring all year round. There was no winter, much less snow.
She said, “Then I’ll come to your place in winter to avoid the cold. I can enjoy the flowers and eat delicious food too.”
If it was in the past, he would invite her here.
But now…
“I’ve never had snow here before,” he said.
“I heard that there are some places in the south that don’t have winter. Your home should be there. Although you can’t see snow, it’s warm in winter.”
Han Xiao said, “Well, you can even wear a single piece of clothing.”
Initially, Qin Shu wanted to ask about him and the Little Munchkinshe opened her mouth but did not say anything. When she knew that he was fine, she felt much more at ease.
After hanging up the phone, she went to the student union.
Han Xiao held his phone tightly in his lap and looked at the flowers in the backyard. They were in full bloom.
Behind him, someone walked over. She was tall and slender, dressed in luxury brands, and had a dignified bearing.
She was his engagement partner that the old man had mentioned, Rong Yan.
Rong Yan stood behind Han Xiao and watched as he sat in a wheelchair for the past few days, staring blankly at the garden full of flowers.
“I’ll push you out for a walk.”
“No need.” Han Xiao’s voice was cold and distant.
However, Rong Yan said, “The day of our engagement will be ten days later. I believe that your leg will be cured…”
Han Xiao interrupted her, “Don’t you know that my leg will never be cured? Are you going to marry a man who will be crippled for life?”
Rong Yan’s face turned pale, “But grandfather said that it will be cured.”
Han Xiao said, “You are a martial arts practitioner too. You should understand how serious the injury to your meridians will be.”
Han Xiao’s answer was concise and to the point. His purpose was to let Rong Yan know that his leg would not be cured.
Rong Yan was stunned for a long while before she could digest the meaning behind Han Xiao’s words. She was in love with Han Xiao, but when she thought about how he would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
She was timid.
But after all, she liked him, it made her hesitant.
After hesitating for a while, Rong Yan turned around and left.
From the beginning to the end, Han Xiao did not turn around to look at Rong Yan. His expression was indifferent and cold because he had accepted the fact that his leg was crippled.
Even if Rong Yan did not mind that he was crippled, he would not be engaged to her.
Regardless of whether it was for him or her, it was the best choice.
When Hua Wuyan came over, he met Rong Yan on the way and knew that the old man had set the wedding date on his own accord.
When he came to the back garden, he saw Han Xiao sitting in a wheelchair in a daze.
He found that Han Xiao would sit in the pavilion every day since he was back, looking at the garden full of flowers in a daze.
He walked to Han Xiao’s side, “Brother Han, I found a famous doctor and had asked him to take a look at your leg. He will be able to cure it.”
It had been a while since he came back, and he had seen no less than twenty famous doctors, but the results were all useless.
Han Xiao said, “Don’t waste your time.”
Hua Wuyan did not give up and tried to persuade him, “Brother Han, maybe this will cure your leg?”
He was afraid that Han Xiao would give up and continue to be depressed.
Han Xiao slowly turned the wheelchair and looked at Hua Wuyan, “Didn’t Gu Yan say that unless there is an orchid grass to cure it?”
Hua Wuyan was silent for a moment because there was no orchid grass. If there was, there would be hope.
He suddenly thought of the engagement party.
The old man almost had a heart attack when brother Han came back like this. The only thing that made the old man happy was that brother Han was finally back at home.
“Brother Han, your engagement banquet will be held in ten days.”
Han Xiao said, “Cancel it.”
Hua Wuyan said,”… But, the old man has always been looking forward to you getting married and holding a great-grandson.”
Han Xiao’s gaze once again looked towards the back garden and did not say anything else.
Han Xiao was silent. Hua Wuyan knew that he felt guilty towards the old man.
The old man was 70 years old today. His body was still rather healthy a few years ago, but from these two years onwards, his body was getting weaker and weaker.
This was also the reason why he was in a hurry to let Han Xiao get married and have children so that the old man could see his great-grandson when he was alive.
It was just that brother Han’s personality, since he had decided on Little Munchkin , he would not change.
After a long silence, Hua Wuyan suddenly asked, “Brother Han, do you plan to be like this? Have you ever thought that one day the Little Munchkin will remember what happened on the mountain?”
Han Xiao was stunned, “Then, let her never remember.”
Hua Wuyan let out an inaudible sigh. He was feeling unwilling on Han Xiao’s behalf.
Student Union.
Qin Shu walked into the student union. Qiao Ran was waiting in the president’s office.
When he saw Qin Shu walk in, his gaze moved away from the computer screen and looked at Qin Shu. “You’re here. It’s almost winter vacation. The school has decided that there will be an outstanding certificate of Honor Tomorrow. You should prepare the manuscript for your speech on stage.”
Speech on stage?
Qin Shu asked, “Why didn’t I hear about it before?”
Qiao ran said, “It was decided by the school. I just found out about it.”
Qin Shu had no choice but to prepare when she heard that. She couldn’t go up to the podium empty-handed.
“Then I’ll go back and prepare.”
“Okay.” Qiao Ran smiled and nodded. When he thought about the exchange student matter, he said, “I’ll go for the student exchange next year. Three other students will follow me. The position of student council president will be decided by votes. I’ve nominated you.”
