Hearing Huo Qiran's words, Jing Li turned her head in shock and saw Su Zhen standing not far away.
Su Zhen was looking at them with her hands behind her back. Seeing that they finally found her, she walked forward little by little, stared at Huo Qiran's damaged knee, and then said: "Tsk, it looks like it really hurts!"
Huo Qiran almost laughed at her, "This is your condolences to me, right?"
"Do you still need my condolences?" Su Su stretched out her hand and put it on Jing Li's shoulder, "With such a beauty serving you, I don't think you can even find fault with you!"
Hearing this, Jing Li couldn't help but feel a little warm in her ears, and then said: "How can I serve him? At most, I can just apply a lotion on him. Susu, did you drive here? Isn't it convenient to take him to the hospital for a check-up?"
"
When Su Zhen heard this, she suddenly came closer to Huo Qiran, stared at him and said, "Do you need me to send it to you?"
"Would you like to give it away?" Huo Qiran glanced at her, "I think I can barely drive."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jing Li say: "You can't drive! What if something happens? Just ask Su Su to take you there..."
Su Zhen then turned to look at Jing Li, "Then you go with us?"
"My...things are still unpacked in the library." Jing Li said, "If nothing happens, just send me a message."
After saying that, she turned around and stared at Huo Qiran's knees, muttering to herself: "It should be okay..."
So Jing Li watched Huo Qiran get into Su Zhen's car, waved goodbye to them, and then turned around and walked towards the library.
Su Zhen looked at Jing Li's disappearing figure in the rearview mirror, then turned to glance at Huo Qiran again.
Huo Qiran then asked her: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back today? When I asked you before, you said the time was undecided."
"I originally wanted to give you a surprise," Su Zhen said, "I didn't expect it, but you gave me a surprise instead."
Huo Qiran looked at his knees, "What do you mean?"
"I'm talking about Jing Li." Su Zhen said while driving the car, "How far have you developed?"
"Here we go again." Huo Qiran held his forehead and smiled helplessly, "You're really done, aren't you?"
"You still don't admit it?" Su Zhen said, "I just saw you two. How good you two are. If you drop your knee, she will feel so distressed that she will burst into tears."
"What do you want me to admit to something that I don't have?" Huo Qiran sighed, "I will always be chasing after the wind and shadows."
"Really?" Su Zhen said, "This semester, you have been facing each other day and night, inseparable..."
Huo Qiran said: "I think you are stupid in studying abroad. Come back and relearn Chinese."
"That means you can still accompany me to Switzerland for skiing?" Su Zhen looked at him, "You can't go back on what you promised!"
Huo Qiran turned to look at her, "If I regret it, will you eat me?"
"Are you really going to regret it?" Su Zhen was furious.
"I lied to you." Huo Qiran said, "I promised you Miss Su, do you dare not to agree?"
Su Zhen paused for a moment, then said again: "Then... do you want to invite Jing Li to join us?"
Hearing this, Huo Qiran paused suddenly, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be convenient for her to go abroad. After all, she still has to take care of her mother and niece."
After hearing this, Su Zhen responded softly and said nothing more.
However, what no one expected was that just this winter, Jingli lost her mother forever.
At that time, Huo Qiran was packing his luggage for Switzerland, and Su Zhen called him and told him: "Jing Li's mother seems to have passed away."
Huo Qiran's mind buzzed, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Su Zhen said: "Didn't our family have a dinner together today? My cousin-in-law, Jing Li's ex-sister-in-law, just answered a phone call. What I accidentally overheard was that Jing Li's mother passed away... She didn't
Tell you? There seems to be funerals today..."
Huo Qiran's heart suddenly twisted.
If it is true, then her mother must have passed away a few days ago, but they have been in contact as usual these days, and occasionally chatted for a few words, but she seemed to be normal and never mentioned a word.
After hanging up Su Zhen's phone, Huo Qiran sat quietly for a long time and finally tried to dial Jing Li's number.
It didn't take long for her to answer the phone. Her tone was still very relaxed, but her voice was slightly hoarse: "Huo Qiran, why are you looking for me?"
Huo Qiran opened his mouth and was silent for a moment, then said: "I want to invite you and Xi Xi to dinner. I haven't seen her for a long time. Where are you?"
"We are planting trees in the park." Jing Li said, "There is a tree planting activity in the park here. I will bring her over to participate."
"Which park?" Huo Qiran said, "I will also participate."
Jing Li hesitated for a moment and finally reported the name of the park.
Huo Qiran got up, put on her coat and went out.
In fact, Jing Li never mentioned her mother to him. Although he knew about it, he just pretended that he didn't know and never asked her anything.
He could have continued to pretend that he knew nothing, but at this moment, he really couldn't do it.
Soon Huo Qiran came to the park she was talking about. When he arrived, the tree planting activity was probably over. Jing Li was sitting on a bench under a big tree, looking at the small flowers squatting on the ground in front of her.
The sweetness of the grass.
Both of them were dressed plainly, only in black and white. When Huo Qiran came closer and took a clear look at Jing Li sitting there, he felt as if his eyes were stabbed by something——
