"Shut up!"
Qin Yan suddenly snapped, cutting off Lin Man's words. Lin Man knew when to stop: "Alright, Yanyan, I know you don't like hearing this, so I won't say anymore."
"But after coming back and learning about your life with Yunshen, I'm worried that continuing to live this way will only cause you more harm."
"Yanyan, I can't stay here for too long. I'm afraid when Yunshen's parents arrive, I won't even be able to attend the designer's exchange conference."
Qin Yan stood absent-mindedly in the stairwell for a while, only then realizing that at some point Lin Man had already left.
In the empty emergency exit, only Qin Yan remained.
She smoothed her hair and turned to walk toward the doors of the operating room.
Gu Jinyan saw her return alone, a trace of surprise flashing in his brows.
"Where is she?"
The 'she' he referred to was, of course, Lin Man.
Qin Yan's lips curved slightly, but the upward arc contained little semblance of a smile:
"Gone."
