Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Time is Such a Pity

Su Lu had never met such a talkative driver before. Well, maybe she had, but this one, because of his accent, she sometimes couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Yet the driver was persistent and not at all bothered by it. If he saw that she didn’t understand, he would repeat himself once or even multiple times.

She had no idea what he was after.

But when they got out of the car, Su Lu figured out what he wanted.

Perhaps the driver’s constant chatter had made the atmosphere inside the car less cold and awkward and more pleasing to Bao Jing.

When they got out, Bao Jing took several large bills of foreign currency from his wallet and handed them over, "No need for change."

The driver’s smile nearly reached his ears, and then he handed over a colorful business card, "If you need a car anytime, just contact me! I wish you a happy honeymoon and a joyful trip!"

Bao Jing glanced at the colorful business card, and Su Lu also looked down at it.

Wow, pretty targeted.

Su Lu was puzzled, her eyes full of confusion.

She looked at the colorful business card and couldn’t help but ask, "How did he know..."

Su Lu pointed to the text on the business card, "Where we are from?"

The text on the business card was brightly colored, all in Chinese! The colorful fonts listed well-known local attractions, streets worth visiting, and food spots worth trying.

But all in Chinese.

The two of them had barely communicated at all during the ride, and they hadn’t spoken a word, speaking only in English to the driver, especially since Bao Jing’s English was quite accurate, sounding almost like a native speaker.

But these taxi drivers, they must have some sort of superpower.

And they even got the nationality right, directly handing over a business card printed in Chinese.

"These drivers," Bao Jing twisted the business card in his hand and said, "must have some real skills."

Ahead was the hospital entrance, where they could see a white building with a red cross light on the roof.

Since it was already night, the hospital didn’t seem very crowded.

Of course, it might not have been crowded to begin with, since from the hospital’s environment and decor, it seemed to be a rather upscale, expensive kind.

Soon, a doctor came over. Su Lu stood by, listening to Bao Jing speak quietly to the doctor about his condition.

Although the taxi driver had a strong local accent, the doctor had no local accent at all when he spoke. In fact, his accent was as fluent as Bao Jing’s, and he used several long medical terms.

Su Lu listened with only half an understanding, hardly following, and thought she had stepped into the set of some medical drama.

Su Lu was initially distracted because she didn’t fully understand the medical terms, feeling quite bored.

Until she faintly caught a few words in Bao Jing’s deep voice.

Vomiting, vomiting blood...

At that moment, Su Lu could no longer maintain her previously bored demeanor.

And upon hearing this, the doctor’s expression suddenly became much more serious.

After learning that Bo Jingshen hadn’t eaten all day, Su Lu arranged a barium meal examination for him.

When she was about to go pay, Bo Jingshen looked at Su Lu and curved the corners of his lips, "I’m afraid it might take a while."

"Go ahead with the examination," Su Lu said.

The corners of Bo Jingshen’s mouth twitched, as if he was trying to restrain a joyful smile but couldn’t help it, his lips curved with a pleased arc, "Are you worried about me?"

Su Lu looked up at him, was silent for a few seconds, and then said softly, "Yes."

The corners of Bo Jingshen’s mouth, already twitching with a joyful curvature, widened a bit more.

Su Lu still looked at him, her expression unchanging much, and said, "I’m different from you. If something happens, I’ll speak up, I’ll admit it, instead of hiding it under the pretext of what’s best for someone, lacking even the most basic honesty."

The smile on Bo Jingshen’s lips stiffened, "Xiaolu, I..."

Su Lu nodded, "For my own good, right? I know that, but I don’t need it. I’m not some fragile clematis, too weak to stand on my own. I’ve suffered from dishonesty, from what I thought were well-intentioned lies, well-intentioned hiding..."

Hearing this, Bo Jingshen felt a jolt in his heart as he guessed what she might say next and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Su Lu continued, "...I missed out on five years, wasted five years."

That’s why she now couldn’t accept or tolerate what so-called well-intentioned lies and concealments.

Five years, she was afraid.

She feared another five years, although sturdy as rock and reed, she was still afraid, fearing another five years. How many such five-year periods does one have in a lifetime to miss and to waste?

About Bo Jingshen’s matters, she just couldn’t wrap her head around them at the time. After calming down and thinking it through, she understood what that engagement was about, what that suddenly appearing middle-aged man was about.

But knowing it and accepting it was another matter.

After Su Lu finished speaking, she took the payment bill from his hand, "Let me do it, you wait here."

Su Lu took the payment bill to the cashier.

Bo Jingshen stood still, looking as if he had frozen.

The things Su Lu had said earlier, he understood; in fact, he thought she would understand, or rather, believed that once she knew the full story, she could forgive, just like he had forgiven her when he learned the full story of the past.

Bo Jingshen believed that one day, when she knew everything, she would forgive him because she understood his predicament.

Unexpectedly, she couldn’t.

Initially not reacting was truly due to feeling heartbroken and let down, which made it impossible for him to forgive.

Later when he realized, it was also because he was truly afraid of another mistake, another waste due to dishonesty.

She was scared. Because those lost times were just too precious.

Because I’ve done it, I’ve missed out, I know all too well it was wrong, so I can’t and don’t want to fall into a pit named ’hiding for your own good’ twice.

Thus, she really couldn’t easily forgive.

Bo Jingshen finally snapped out of his stunned state after a moment, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly. He didn’t intend to just stand there waiting, but walked determinedly in the direction Su Lu had gone.

At the cashier’s window, Su Lu was holding a stack of Foreign Currency, intently counting the money with her fingers, one bill at a time. After counting enough, she handed it through the window.

Bo Jingshen couldn’t help but quicken his pace and walked over.
