Halfway there, Gong Yan received a call from home, saying that Madam's rheumatism had flared up.
Rainy weather exacerbates rheumatism, causing pain that can keep one up all night.
After her husband's death, Madam Chen Sulan prayed in the temple almost daily as a form of solace, and as a result, her knees were worn out.
Lin Zhiyi raised her hand and pointed to the intersection ahead, "Big brother, drop me off there. I can take the subway back to school, but I need to borrow your jacket."
"Zhiyi..." Gong Yan felt somewhat apologetic.
"Big brother, I'm in my twenties. I'll be fine. Madam must be in pain right now, you should hurry back to be with her."
"Okay."
He stopped the car and tugged at the jacket she was wearing, reminding her to be careful.
Lin Zhiyi responded with a hum and got out of the car.
