Xu Xin suddenly looked up and said to everyone, "Thank you for last night. If it hadn’t been for you rushing to the hospital, I probably would have died in the dorm."
Li Xianglu shook her head and said, "Xu Xin, take it easy."
Xu Xin shook his head and said, "It’s okay, it’s my own doing. I don’t bla anyone." Then he turned to Lu Anna and said, "Anna, thank you for arranging for to stay here and keeping it secret. Thank you!"
Lu Anna shook her head and sighed, "What did ng Gang say?"
Xu Xin looked at the window and said with a faint smile, "He said we’ll get our marriage license as soon as I’m discharged."
But Li Xianglu felt that this was not good news. What took them so long? They were the first generation of college students, with the oldest being thirty-seven and the youngest thirteen. Many people in this age group were married, so even with three or four children, and ca to study. Of course, there were quite a few who abandoned their wives and children – it was a common occurrence during that period.
Lu Anna and Iro both looked angry. Seeing this, Xu Xin sighed and said, "We originally planned to get married after graduation, and to have children the following year." It ant that it was the timing of the child’s conception that was the issue, and then they decided to have an abortion, which led to the accident.
Was this ng Gang to be blad? Most of the ti, people tend to bla the man for not knowing how to protect the woman, but shouldn’t the woman also protect herself and her body by loving herself first?
So, it was a case of mutual consent, and no one else said anything.
Lu Anna said, "I asked for leave on your behalf today, just saying you have appendicitis, but it was caught in ti with anti-inflammatory injections to control it. You just need a few days off."
Xu Xin nodded in appreciation.
Li Xianglu went out and called in Xiao Chong and Wang Ke. The five of them had a quick chat, told Xu Xin to take care of herself, asked about the discharge ti, and then greeted ng Gang, who was entering the door, before leaving.
Lu Anna then went to thank Doctor Zhou and then left with everyone else.
Wang Ke was a simpleton who didn’t understand anything, while Xiao Chong had learned quite a bit about the affairs between n and won after the previous incident with a married man. Therefore, she found today’s situation a bit strange, especially recalling the blood from last night, which made her suspicious, but since no one spoke up, she didn’t ask further.
In the afternoon, there was no class, just lectures, and the three people who hadn’t slept didn’t go to rest but directly went to the lectures after eating.
As for Xu Xin, he needed to be hospitalized for a week. His friends visited him a few tis in between, and they found that his relationship with ng Gang seed to have improved a lot.
Especially the way ng Gang was tenderly caring for Xu Xin, attending to his needs ticulously.
Xiao Chong was quite envious, but Li Xianglu felt this was not a good sign. She could only think it was due to ng Gang’s guilt, and this was not a sustainable way for a long-term relationship.
There must be at least so balance within a marriage. Fairness isn’t the demand, but the discrepancies cannot be too large, otherwise soone will feel unbalanced in their heart.
As mid-December ca, so subjects were coming to an end, and every school started preparing for exams, with everyone entering a more intense period of study.
Li Xianglu hadn’t gone ho this week, with one of her subjects having an exam on Saturday afternoon. She called her grandfather and planned to return ho next week.
On Saturday morning, Li Xianglu and Qin Xi had breakfast in the canteen and then returned to the dorm. She planned to review her subject for the afternoon exam. As soon as she sat down, she saw the dorm supervisor knock and enter, saying, "Li Xianglu, the Security Office called, there’s soone looking for you at the school gate."
Li Xianglu was taken aback and asked, "Dorm supervisor, do you know who’s looking for ?"
The dorm supervisor shook her head and said, "I didn’t ask about that, and the security departnt didn’t say either."
Li Xianglu nodded and responded, "Okay, I got it."
She didn’t know who the visitor was, but Li Xianglu had a vague bad feeling about it.
At this ti, whoever was looking for her couldn’t get through the school gates—could it be soone from the Li Family?
Li Xianglu pondered for a mont, thinking about leaving Zhengzhou in November, then going back and heading to the capital?
How did they get here? Travelling from Guanzhong to the capital by train, even a hard-seat ticket would cost at least more than ten yuan. Did Ge Sani really have such confidence that she believed she could force her to submit for the sake of so-called reputation?
Li Xianglu scoffed and shook her head, shouldering her backpack as she made her way to the school gate.
The weather was quite cold, and there were no people at the school gate. Li Xianglu guessed that the person might be inside the gatekeeper’s office.
Before Li Xianglu got close, the door to the gatekeeper’s office swung open, and a woman in black rushed out. Upon seeing Li Xianglu, she exclaid with surprise, "Xiangxiang, your big sister ca to see you!"
Li Xianglu was stunned. At that mont, another person ca out of the gatehouse, wearing a faded black jacket and a headscarf of black cloth, looking over nervously.
Li Xianglu sneered inwardly. The visitors were none other than her eldest sister and Ge Sani. It really was them; they truly were spending a lot!
Li Xianglu turned around and walked back toward the school. Li Jianhong, caught off guard by this turn of events, was montarily stunned, but quickly chased after her, calling out, "Little sister, little sister, what are you doing? Why are you walking away? Mom and I have been waiting for you!"
Li Xianglu whirled around abruptly, causing Li Jianhong to almost bump into her. Jianhong awkwardly moved aside and complained, "What’s the aning of this? Your family cos to see you, and you just walk away like that!"
Li Xianglu replied coldly, "Li Jianhong, have you lost your mory? In the spring of ’75, I was adopted out by your family—for six hundred yuan and three hundred kilos of wheat flour. What, have you forgotten? I still have the adoption papers!"
Li Jianhong, hearing this, imdiately retorted, "So what if you were adopted? Doesn’t it an you weren’t born from Mom? Why are you so heartless? Can’t you see the family is in trouble? Why can’t you be more understanding?"
Li Xianglu felt that this Li Jianhong was shaless, to be able to utter such words. Wasn’t this twisting the truth? Was it really because the family was in trouble that they gave her up for adoption?
Li Xianglu didn’t want to deal with these people and turned her head to walk back to the dormitory. Actually, she had intended to see who it was and then go to a classroom to read, but upon seeing Li Jianhong and Ge Sani, her mood plumted, and she lost the desire to read.
Li Xianglu had just reached the gate when she saw Qin Xi approaching from the east. They saw each other and walked over to talk under the parallel bars.
Qin Xi had initially co to tell Li Xianglu that his examination on Sunday had been rescheduled to Monday, so he was asking if Li Xianglu wanted to go back ho after finishing the exam on Saturday afternoon. He hadn’t expected to hear that Ge Sani and Li Jianhong had co to the school.
Seeing Li Xianglu looking annoyed, he smiled and said, "Don’t worry, at most they will cause a fuss at the security departnt, which will then call you in. You can just call the police directly; it might be good to give them a scare, so they don’t get too bold thinking no one can handle them."
ps: It’s 2 a.m., and I’m just going to post the one for 7 a.m. early, as I don’t see much difference.
I’m off to sleep.
