"What did she say?"
"Nothing much, just sat with me to soak up some sun."
Ai Qian paused, then asked, "You and her, you've known each other for quite a while, haven't you?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but reminisce.
It seemed like the last New Year's Eve party after graduation was when he first got entangled with that lady.
Wait.
Why use the word "entangled"?
"...Suppose so."
Ai Qian smiled, then somewhat inexplicably, yet meaningfully said, "Li Shuru must be pretty headache-ridden now."
Jiang Chen didn't continue the conversation.
"I'm fine, you really don't need to waste your time coming here. Plus, I don't want Li Shuru to misunderstand."
Ai Qian joked, "If someone is returning my evil with good, I can't just..."
"Alright, I'll leave."
Jiang Chen stood up briskly, "Rest well."
Ai Qian nodded.
Without any sentimental attachment, just like any ordinary farewell, Jiang Chen turned around, left the hospital room, and closed the door behind him.
