Yui explained with a smile, but Qiannai's attitude was very decisive.
"Why not say half marathon? The doctor said this morning that it would be best to stay in the hospital for observation for two days if possible. Why didn't you say that?"
Yuihama Rena said irritably.
Does this girl really not know that she almost died yesterday?
Is it reasonable to be discharged today?
"Well, the doctor said it was just a hypothetical!"
Since it's a hypothetical situation, then it's unnecessary.
Because there is no such thing as a "what if" in this world.
Just as Yui was about to defend herself, the sudden appearance of two figures at the door made her burst into laughter.
"Kiyoshi, Mahiru-chan, you're here!" the girl greeted enthusiastically.
Suddenly, I felt that these two people in front of me were my saviors! Even though they hadn't done anything yet.
"Yui, we're here! Have you had breakfast?" Mahiru asked with a gentle smile, then turned to Chizuru.
"Good morning, Auntie. We've come to see Yui."
"Good morning, Auntie. This is some fruit we brought."
At that moment, Su Qing also held up a basket of fresh fruit and said.
Qiannai glanced casually at the fruit basket.
It's winter now, and most fruits are grown in greenhouses.
In addition, fruit is already expensive in Tokyo, and although I don't know the exact price, it must be quite pricey.
"We're very happy that you came to visit Yui. There's no need to buy these things..."
"I'll leave what I should do here."
Su Qing simply smiled, placed the fruit basket on the bedside table, looked around, and asked.
"Isn't your uncle here?"
"My dad has some business at his company, and he said this morning that he needs to go back and explain things first."
Yui answered, and seeing that Su Qing finally turned her gaze towards her, she snorted, "Speaking of which, you haven't greeted me since you came in! Mahiru-chan greeted me!"
After saying that, she immediately looked at Mahiru with pleading eyes.
[Right, right, isn't that right?]
"Hmm...it is indeed a bit impolite not to greet people properly~"
Mahiru deliberately tilted her head back, feigning doubt in her tone.
"You didn't greet me like you used to, so I'm not quite used to it."
Su Qing glanced at Mahiru, then at Yui, smiled, and explained.
"Huh? How did I greet you before?" Yui was taken aback and started racking her brains.
After a 0.1-second delay, she tentatively asked, "Oh~ hello!?"
"Hmm, hello, Yui."
Su Qing, trying to be as warm and gentle as the girl who always treated him, awkwardly offered the same greeting.
The boy smiled faintly. For a moment, time stood still, the light shifted, and everything seemed as if it were the first time they had met.
"Pfft, what is that, you childish little Qing?" Yui burst out laughing.
The other person had previously said that this way of greeting was a bit strange, but now they seem to have gotten used to it?
No, I'm laughing so hard I'm almost crying.
Yui turned her face away, rubbed the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then turned back to Mahiru to add a sentence.
"Hey hello~ Mahiru-chan."
"Huh? Um... Hey, hello~ Yui-chan?"
Mahiru hesitated, not because she was worried about the somewhat embarrassing situation, but because she was afraid she hadn't said it well.
After all, this was the first time she had greeted someone this way, so she felt a little awkward.
However, there were no outsiders here, so after adjusting his mindset, he quickly imitated the tone of the two people and spoke.
"Haha~ It feels so weird that there are three of us like this, Mom, don't you think?"
"Huh? No way. I think you guys are doing great."
Qiannai's face showed a relaxed expression, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.
She stared at Su Qing for a while, then stepped forward and said to her:
"I'm a little embarrassed to interrupt your current atmosphere, but... would it be convenient for us to talk alone now?"
"Hey... Mom, you?" Yui hesitated before speaking, her expression becoming tense, and she instinctively tried to get out of bed.
Why is he suddenly asking to chat with Xiaoqing alone? Is he going to blame her for what happened yesterday?
After all, her mother now knows that she was injured because of the other party.
But this is not Xiaoqing's fault at all.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything weird."
Qiannai rolled her eyes at Yui, annoyed.
She just wanted to talk to Su Qing, why was she so agitated?
She's not even married yet, and she's already siding with outsiders.
It really is……
They've grown up.
"Okay. I also have something I want to say to Auntie."
Su Qing stood up, exchanged glances with Mahiru, and then followed Qian Nai out of the ward.
"Oh, what is Mom trying to do? Doesn't she ever say anything weird?"
There was no trace of the two people in sight anymore. Yui muttered worriedly, but seeing that Mahiru still looked calm, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Isn't Mahiru-chan curious about what they're talking about?"
"A little, but... Qingjun will handle it. By the way, what kind of fruit would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."
"Don't be so polite, I just finished eating. By the way, it rained last night..."
Just as the two started talking about girls, not far from the door of the ward.
Qiannai and Su Qing found a chair outside and sat down.
Although it's spring break these days, life doesn't care whether it's a holiday or not, so even at nine in the morning, the hospital is still bustling with people.
"You just said you had something you wanted to tell me?"
As soon as she sat down, Qiannai skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Um, I'd like to know if Yui's medical report has come out yet?"
Su Qing didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.
"I came out this morning, and the doctors looked at me with disbelief when they made their rounds."
Logically speaking, after surgery, whether successful or not, the body will experience a series of rejections or adverse reactions, especially after major surgery involving the heart.
But her vital signs were all normal, and she seemed quite energetic.
Although Qiannai didn't understand whether this was good or bad, seeing her daughter still so lively and energetic, she couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and lingering fear.
"Is this what you want to say?"
"I was thinking of taking her to another hospital for a check-up in the next few days."
As you know, sometimes a report from a hospital may not be accurate.
"Of course, I will cover all the costs of the examination..."
Before Su Qing could finish speaking, Qian Nai suddenly interrupted her.
"What kind of people do you imagine us to be?"
“It was just what I should do; after all, she did it for me… I should apologize to you and Uncle. I’m sorry.”
As Su Qing spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Qian Nai, a gesture of respect that was considered appropriate to local customs.
Qiannai stared at the boy's almost perfect ninety-degree bow, speechless for a moment.
“I don’t blame you, and you don’t need to apologize to us. Nobody could have predicted that something like that would happen.”
Qiannai's gaze softened.
"I don't know exactly what happened yesterday, but Yui definitely woke up after you said those things."
You left in such a hurry yesterday that we didn't even have time to thank you.
So we should be thanking you.
But Su Qing just shook her head and said to herself stubbornly, "This is just what I owe her."
"There's nothing to owe or not owe," Qian Nai said seriously, her previous playful demeanor gone.
"She is an adult, she knows how to make choices, and she will bear the consequences of her choices."
This was her choice; it was her free will.
No one owes her anything, and she owes no one anything.
Qian Nai paused for a moment before continuing.
"Perhaps I shouldn't be lecturing you, but I still want to say that you can't take all the responsibility on yourself; that's wrong."
You don't owe Yui anything. Yui didn't do all that to make you feel like you owe her anything.
As Qiannai spoke, her gaze suddenly drifted towards the ward.
"That girl... is that your girlfriend, Mahiru? How long have you been together?"
“A month and a half,” Su Qing replied.
"Really?" Qiannai nodded, saying this inexplicably.
"She's a very well-behaved and nice girl, no wonder Yui wasn't chosen."
You should cherish such a wonderful girl.
"I understand."
"Do you really understand?" Qian Nai leaned forward slightly, her tone suspicious.
"I like her. We are very, very good friends."
Su Qing was silent for a moment, then he raised his eyes with a gentle smile on his face.
He looked directly into Qiannai's dark eyes, which were so clear they seemed to reflect the blue sky.
"Really? That's good. You're so smart, I think you should understand."
Qiannai murmured softly.
She saw through her daughter's thoughts, but she also saw the difficulties in this relationship.
If Su Qing didn't have a girlfriend, this story should have ended long ago.
The girl should be hiding in bed at home, happily smiling at her phone screen, instead of complaining in the hospital room that she's getting rusty.
But as I've said before, there's no such thing as a "what if" in this world.
Qiannai wasn't sure if Yui had heard Su Qing say he liked her yesterday.
Can……
That kind of liking is very likely meaningless.
[I'm sorry, Yui, please don't blame Mom... but going any further won't be good for either of you...]
