Chapter 377: Chapter 377: The Hasty Conclusion of the Conversation

"Yes, I will always like her," Su Cheng nodded forcefully, as if he was speaking to his own heart rather than answering Bai Qian’s question, "I remember the good side of Fu Han, and I don’t think she looks bad now."

"Well said!" Bai Wei patted Su Cheng on the shoulder vigorously, speaking with great fervor, "Su Cheng, for those words, I support you. You must try hard. While Fu Han and He Xing are having a conflict, take advantage of the situation to win her over."

At first, Luo Qinghe was nodding along, but as he listened further, he frowned. What was this all about?

He couldn’t make any moves in front of Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian, so he could only lean in close to Bai Wei and kindly remind her, "Xiaowei, taking advantage of someone’s vulnerability is not a nice phrase, maybe you could describe it as ’giving help during snowy times’ instead?"

Bai Wei was nodding when Bai Qian clearly saw this as an excellent opportunity to educate Bai Wei on understanding Chinese, speaking with a slight teacherly air, "It’s Su Cheng who is pursuing Fu Han, so using ’giving help during snowy times’ isn’t quite accurate either. I think it’s better to say that Su Cheng should give it his all."

After this exchange, the conversation with Bai Qian, Bai Wei, and Luo Qinghe completely diverged, turning into Bai Qian and Luo Qinghe giving a cultural lesson to Bai Wei.

Fu Xingbo sighed deeply and patted Su Cheng on the shoulder again. This time he didn’t say anything else, just four words: "Take care of yourself."

...

The rooftop of the Inpatient Department.

This was just an ordinary rooftop. Perhaps because of leaks, irregular patches of black tar were visible everywhere, making the straw-yellow rooftop look even more dilapidated, like a small boat amidst a storm, already riddled with countless holes and yet still on the verge of coming apart at any minute.

The sun was bright on the rooftop, where someone had rigged a simple frame with bamboo poles to dry clothes. The wind was strong, causing the clothes to sway, as if they might be blown away at any moment.

Fu Han and He Xing stood side by side on the rooftop. Under He Xing’s persistent questioning, Fu Han told him everything that had happened the night before.

After listening, He Xing’s face was full of anger, "It must have been Xia Ning who sought revenge for the beating you gave her yesterday morning by sending someone at night!"

That was the most logical explanation, and also the biggest possibility Fu Han had come up with after thinking it over all night long, but unfortunately, this theory was overturned early this morning by Bai Wei.

She brushed her hair from her cheeks behind her ears, her delicate eyebrows furrowing, "Xia Ning’s family was in total chaos last night, and now Xia Cheng is still in the hospital. Don’t tell me you didn’t know."

"The Xia Family? What happened?" He Xing’s sharp brows furrowed, his starry eyes full of confusion.

Fu Han could tell he wasn’t lying, so she relayed the gossip that Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe had brought, clean and clear.

The rooftop’s wind had lessened greatly, but the sunlight had become even more intense.

Fu Han squinted in the harsh sunlight, shielding her eyes with her hand as she scrutinized He Xing.

He Xing’s brow was deeply furrowed, showing neither the anger Fu Han had imagined nor the lack of it. His eyes gazed into the distance.

According to Fu Han’s understanding of him, this was an expression he had only when deep in thought.

Minutes passed before He Xing finally turned to look at Fu Han, "Xiaohan, I need to leave for a bit. Stay with your auntie’s husband and the others, call me if anything happens."

Without waiting for Fu Han’s response, He Xing hurried away, not looking back.

The wind grew stronger, gusting in waves. Fu Han’s eyes welled up with tears, but she forced them back by tilting her head back.

After composing herself, she followed the trail He Xing had taken and left step by step. The wind howled behind her, as if it might blow her away at any moment, her frail body stirring in its wake.

When Fu Han returned to the ward, she found everyone still there, having not left. She managed a faint smile, "Uncle, Auntie, we can go now."

It was just as Luo Qinghe said, Bai Wei’s mouth was indeed the most uncontrollable. She blurted out, "What about He Xing? Didn’t he go out with you? Why hasn’t he come back?"

It was a question that tasted of bitterness. Fu Han didn’t know how to answer and could only say in as calm a voice as possible, "He had something come up suddenly and had to leave for a bit. We don’t need to worry about him."

Bai Wei’s anger flared instantly. She asked Fu Han, "Was it after you talked about the Xia Family issues that he said he had to leave?"

Lying under the gaze of the whole room was too difficult. Fu Han gave a bitter smile, unable to resist joking, "Bai Wei, this is the first time I realized you were so smart!"

"Is this a time to be making jokes?" Bai Wei’s finger nearly poked Fu Han in the forehead as she spoke with frustration, "Yesterday, you avenged yourself, and He Xing defended Xia Ning and scolded you; today, because of Xia Guoxiong and Xia Cheng’s damn troubles, He Xing left you behind again, and you’re really not angry at all?"

"Okay, Xiaowei, hold your tongue," Bai Qian reprimanded, looking at Bai Wei, "Xiaohan is already very upset. You keep talking like this; isn’t it just making her more upset?"

Bai Wei was almost ready to explode with fury. How could she listen to Bai Qian’s words? She retorted fiercely, "Mom, He Xing is your dear nephew, so of course, you side with him. But I stand for what’s right, not for kin. He Xing was quite nice to Fu Han when there were no issues with the Xia Family; but as soon as the Xia Family has a problem, he immediately ditches Fu Han."

Even though Fu Han’s heart ached like it was being stirred with a knife, she had to admit that Bai Wei’s words were, indeed, true. It seemed like He Xing liked her alright, but the Xia Family was his Achilles’ heel, something untouchable.

A quiet voice inside Fu Han whispered, what’s the point? Since she had already decided to go abroad, why bother with who mattered more in He Xing’s heart?

But, while it was fine not to obsess over it, it was essential to remember He Xing’s actions and not repeatedly make the same mistakes of forgetting past pains, something she had done too often before.

As Bai Wei successfully rendered Bai Qian speechless, she swelled with pride, feeling particularly smug. She patted Fu Han on the shoulder, pointing at Su Cheng, "Fu Han, take a good look. Su Cheng, who cares about nothing else for your sake, is someone who truly loves you. Think about it, Su Cheng is a great guy. To use a domestic saying, He Xing is central heating, radiating warmth to everyone; while Su Cheng’s warmth is reserved just for you, that’s even more precious."

Under Fu Han’s gaze, Su Cheng’s face turned bright red, and he looked away, unable to face her.
