Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Awkward Overtures

Su Lu felt that sometimes, her intuition was quite sharp, so she just needed to see Su Zhe draw a tube of blood, and in an instant, she thought of that aspect.

Then she contacted Dean Li and perceived something amiss from his words.

There had been too many things happening lately, and her own state of mind was not good. As a result, after deducing the situation from Dean Li’s attitude, Su Lu felt a numb calmness.

There was no great joy or sorrow.

"Maybe I’m still in that self-protection mechanism?" Su Lu thought to herself.

Sometimes, it had to be said, people really varied individually, where some could not bear the slight setbacks and chose to flee or even more extreme methods.

Yet there were people who could endure like Su Lu.

Despite enduring hardships, they could still persist steadfastly.

When Su Yi came to see her, Su Lu thought he might know some news, but Su Yi seemed completely unaware.

The young man awkwardly sat beside her, scooping fruit puree for her.

She wasn’t incapable of eating fruits directly, but Su Yi, with a face full of impatience, did a particularly patient task. He washed the fruits from the basket, peeled them, and then meticulously scooped them into a bowl of fine puree.

Then handed it to Su Lu, still grudgingly pretending to be unwilling.

"Thanks." Su Lu took it, and actually, the fruit transformed into puree wasn’t as delicious, losing the original texture of the fruits, but she still took it and began to eat slowly, "Actually, you didn’t need to go through so much trouble, I have gotten a lot better."

"That’s good." Su Yi still spoke awkwardly, and it sounded somewhat impatient, "Always causing trouble, why can’t you be more careful?"

Saying so, Su Yi glanced at her face and awkwardly asked, "Does it hurt?"

Su Lu smiled, "It’s much better now, not too painful."

"Making yourself end up like this..." Su Yi muttered.

Su Lu thought to herself, Su Zhe kept the secret so well, maybe Su Yi didn’t know the real reason she was hospitalized.

But a person’s concern was always easy to perceive, Su Lu could naturally feel Su Yi’s concern.

So, about Su Yi’s impatient demeanor, Su Lu could clearly sense his awkwardness and the careful concern hidden beneath, Su Lu nodded, "I’ll be more careful next time."

"That’s good." Su Yi nodded gravely.

Then he fell silent for a moment, and the hospital room quieted down.

The sudden silence made Su Yi somewhat uncomfortable, so he could only awkwardly find another topic.

Su Yi: "Oh yeah."

"Hmm?" Su Lu thought he was about to bring up a topic about their sibling’s history, her eyes widened slightly, staring intently at Su Yi.

Seeing that made Su Yi somewhat uncomfortable, "Why... why are you looking at me like that."

"No problem. What were you about to say?" Su Lu asked.

Su Yi raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of his nose, "Well... Ying Xi mentioned that he is going to lead a team for training camp next month. He said the company usually sends some accompanying staff to follow up on the training situation and asked if I wanted to join as one of the staff to have some fun. If you don’t agree, then... let’s forget about it."

Actually, Su Yi didn’t particularly want to go; he was just looking for a topic of conversation, so he awkwardly brought this one up.

Su Lu was surprised; she hadn’t realized Su Yi and Ying Xi were so close already.

But it made sense, birds of a feather flock together after all. Both of them seemed to have somewhat quirky and irritable temperaments, so it wasn’t surprising that they got along well.

"Next month, huh." Su Lu thought for a moment, "If you want to go, then go. I’ll have the company arrange it."

Su Lu reached for her cell phone, but Su Yi quickly held her hand, "There’s no rush right now, since it’s a matter for next month, and it’s only the beginning of this month now. You... you should rest and focus on your health first."

Su Lu smiled faintly and nodded, "Okay. Don’t worry."

Su Yi’s neck flushed red, "Who... who’s worried about you! If it weren’t for your trouble in getting better, big brother would always think of scolding me. I... I wouldn’t have come otherwise. You... you really do cause trouble. Big brother still thinks I am not competent enough to be by your side, and that’s why the accident happened."

Hearing the awkward tone in his words, the smile on Su Lu’s lips didn’t fade.

After thinking for a moment, and seeing Su Lu’s frail appearance, Su Yi spoke in a low voice, "Then... after you’re discharged, do you want to join as a staff member and come to the training camp for fun? It might help you relax. I heard from Ying Xi that whether it’s domestic or abroad, training camps are usually located in scenic spots, serving both training and rehabilitative purposes."

It was clear that Su Yi was sincere.

Su Lu thought for a moment and felt it wasn’t a bad suggestion, "I’ll think about it. If my health allows it."

Taking a break isn’t a bad thing, but she still needed Professor Zhou to follow up, so eventually, she would need his professional opinion, if he also thought her going out for a relaxation trip was fine.

Taking a break might indeed be good for her.

"Well, think it over. There’s no hurry right now." Su Yi nodded, seemingly out of topics to discuss and trying to mask his unease, he reached for a fruit from the basket to prepare fruit puree for her.

Su Lu quickly stopped him, "Don’t bother, I can’t eat anymore."

Su Yi, again awkward, said, "Who... who said I was doing this for you? I... I was planning to eat it myself!"

He then took a bite of the fruit.

Looking at Su Yi, Su Lu thought for a moment and then asked, "Xiao Yi, we were adopted, you know that, don’t you?"

Su Yi’s expression paused, and his gaze seemed empty.

After a moment, he lightly nodded, "Although I don’t quite remember, I do know."

In this home, only he and Su Lu were truly blood-related.

Yet, he had never really appreciated this sister related by blood before. Reflecting on it made him feel somewhat guilty, but the pride of a young man did not allow him to humble himself too much in acknowledging his mistakes.

So, this was his way, handling his mistakes with an awkward demeanor, trying to make amends with Su Lu.

Watching him, Su Lu was silent for a moment before she asked softly, "Do you wish to find our birth parents?"

Perhaps the trauma of early experiences and the resulting memory loss had made this issue feel not so urgent or even somewhat numb for Su Lu, but she still wanted to know what Xiao Yi thought about it...
