196: Chapter 196 Wait for 196: Chapter 196 Wait for “Miss Su, hello, sorry to disturb you.
It’s like this, after seeing your friend circle, I found out that we are currently in the sa city.”
Aunt Zhao’s ssage almost instantaneously replied after Su Lu had sent her ssage.
Su Lu: “What a coincidence?”
Zhao Ying: “Yes.
My son offered to pay for to travel, and since this place doesn’t require a visa, he asked to travel here.
How long are you planning to stay here, Miss Su?”
Su Lu: “Uh…
I ca here for business, but I’m also using the opportunity to recuperate.
So, I might stay here for a while.
Do you need any help?”
Zhao Ying: “Do you need to take care of you?
You just recovered from a serious illness, and being alone overseas must be inconvenient.”
Su Lu politely declined, but she could understand Zhao Ying’s sentints.
Many parents nowadays are like this; although it’s their children’s filial piety, parents always worry about it being too expensive, too extravagant, and too wasteful.
They can’t fully enjoy themselves and almost wish to earn more money to make up for the expenses of traveling.
Su Lu thought Zhao Ying must feel the sa.
Su Lu: “No need, Aunt Zhao.
Since you’re here to have fun, just enjoy yourself.
I’m already much better, you don’t need to take care of .”
She could tell from Aunt Zhao’s tone that she was slightly disappointed.
“Oh, I was hoping, since it’s rare for us to be in a foreign land yet in the sa place, it’s kind of fate.
I thought we could et.”
Su Lu quickly added, “Of course we can et, there’s no problem with that.
I can treat you to a al or we can visit so sights, but you don’t need to take care of —I’ve recovered a lot, thanks to your care in the hospital.”
Hearing this, Aunt Zhao imdiately perked up, “That’s great.
Let’s find a chance to et then, whenever you’re free.”
Bo Jingshen had finished his examination by the ti Su Lu ended her call.
She and Aunt Zhao had set a ti to et, and she even promised to create a travel plan for Aunt Zhao to save her the trouble of figuring out where to go for fun and affordable experiences to avoid getting ripped off.
So when Bo Jingshen ca out, Su Lu was busy looking up various travel plans and plans on her phone.
“What are you looking at?” Bo Jingshen ca over and saw the travel plans on her screen.
Su Lu, without lifting her head as she was quite engrossed, simply replied, “Looking at travel plans, didn’t expect there to be so many places to visit here.”
Realizing who it was, she suddenly looked up at him, “Are you done?
How did it go?”
“The results will be out in a while,” Bo Jingshen sat down next to her, looking sowhat distressed.
Su Lu put down her phone, “Are you feeling okay?”
Bo Jingshen sighed lightly, “Well, drinking that barium al suspension…
I would’ve rather drunk urine.”
“…,” realizing from his comnt how uncomfortable he must be, she suggested, “How about we go eat sothing tasty later?
I read on the guide that there’s a nice night market near this hospital.”
“Okay,” Bo Jingshen nodded, his gaze on Su Lu’s eyes now lighter and more luminous.
Being stared at with such eyes, Su Lu suddenly rembered that he seed to have been about to say sothing to her before the staff took him off for the examination.
After a while, she had almost forgotten.
But his mory seed to still be connected to the words that were interrupted back then.
Even his expression was exactly as it had been.
He wasn’t going to just let it pass; whatever he intended to say, he would say.
“Su Xiaolu.”
“Hmm?” Su Lu also looked into his eyes, waiting to hear what he would say.
But Bo Jingshen just deeply inhaled, and after exhaling long, he said, “I don’t want to be just bed partners with you.
Being bed partners was your idea, I never wanted that.”
Logically, she might have asked, “Then what do you want to be?”
But Su Lu didn’t play by the rules.
She just quietly responded with a, “Oh.”
Bo Jingshen remained silent for a mont before he said, “Wait for , I have my difficulties.”
He never did say what those difficulties were.
After hearing this, Su Lu still quietly looked at him.
After Bo Jingshen finished speaking, he tightly pursed his lips, looking like a prisoner awaiting judgnt, just waiting for the judge’s hamr to fall and to hear the sentence.
Su Lu watched him quietly for a mont, sighing helplessly in her heart.
Suddenly, she rembered what Su Zhe had said over the phone earlier, maybe she really wasn’t willing to give up until she reached the Yellow River or saw the coffin without shedding a tear.
Even now, at this ti, she still…
Su Lu said, “Okay.”
Bo Jingshen’s eyes suddenly widened, his pupils contracted, and his lips quivered, but he seed unsure of what to say.
He made no sound.
By the ti he finally found his voice, intending to speak…
Su Lu interrupted him, “Let’s go and see if the examination results are out yet.”
Bo Jingshen had no objections and nodded.
As Su Lu turned and walked forward, the slim figure of the man quickly followed from behind.
The next second, her hand was warmly enveloped.
It wasn’t actually that warm; he had just recovered from a serious illness and was weak from gastrointestinal bleeding, so his hands were sowhat cold.
But naturally, n tend to be warr than won, so his hand was still warr than Su Lu’s.
It turned out, even if not warm, as long as they cuddled together, they could keep warm.
Su Lu looked down at her hand enveloped by warmth, her gaze sowhat distracted.
Actually, rather than not shedding a tear until seeing the coffin, Su Lu felt…
perhaps it was because she couldn’t let go.
Or maybe it was because she wanted to understand but didn’t.
What exactly was the reason?
What exactly had caused the man to treat her that way before?
What exactly was the reason he had hurt her?
If it was said that his actions had reasons, if it was said that those injuries were his misguided idea of protection from greater harm…
Then, what exactly was the reason?
What kind of danger was so severe that he saw injuring her as a form of protection?
Su Lu knew nothing, and because she knew nothing, her unwillingness grew.
Why could she only be left in the dark and abandoned?
She wanted to know the reason.
So when he asked Su Lu to wait a mont, she nodded.
As she looked down at her hand wrapped in warmth, the large hand holding hers, despite her gaze, showed no intention of loosening even slightly, instead…
it tightened even more.
When they arrived at the doctor’s office, the results were already out, displayed on the doctor’s computer screen.
The doctor saw them holding hands as they entered, his expression unchanged, but afterwards, the way he addressed Su Lu changed.
The doctor called her, “Mrs.
Bo.”
