Lin Qingle's cell phone was confiscated, and her mother locked her in the room.
Lin Qingle was worried because she couldn't see Xu Tingbai, but she comforted herself that Xu Tingbai was in the hospital and there were people taking care of him.
After one night, the next morning.
Tuk Tuk—
There was a knock on the door and Lin Yufen pushed it open.
Lin Qingle had already put on her school uniform and was ready to go out. Lin Yufen stood at the door and pointed her phone screen at her: "What is this?"
Lin Qingle saw his phone and hurried over to take it, but Lin Yufen pulled back: "Don't take it away. Let me ask you, what is this?"
Lin Qingle took a step forward and looked at the screen of his mobile phone. There was a text message on the screen, which was a notification that the best ophthalmologist in the ophthalmology department of Xicheng Fifth Hospital had successfully registered.
Lin Qingle's eyes lit up: "The appointment was successful."
Seeing her unable to conceal her joy, Lin Yufen's face darkened: "Ophthalmology? Did you make an appointment with a doctor for that boy?"
"Mom, this thing is very important, give it to me first—"
"Lin Qingle! You still want to treat his eyes? Don't you know what his family's situation is like now? Why are you taking on this job?"
"I have my own way."
"What can you do? You still have money to take him to see a doctor!"
Lin Qingle: "I have it. Mom, give me your phone!"
Lin Yufen: "What do you have? All the money you have is given by me, what do you have? And you want to see a doctor! You are not allowed to go!"
"This is my own money! I didn't take a penny from my family!"
"Your own money?! Where did you get the money?!"
Seeing that he would not give up until he got the answer, Lin Qingle was eager to get the phone and tell Xu Tingbai, so he had to say: "This money is the 10,000 yuan prize money I won the first prize in the competition. Mom, I didn't take any money from home. This money is very important to Xu Tingbai, can you let me take him to see a doctor first?"
Lin Yufen stared at her in disbelief: "You actually competed for a boy. Do you know that you are going to be a sophomore in high school? How many times have I told you that studying is the most important thing, and the college entrance examination is the most important thing? You actually... You want to fall in love instead of taking the college entrance examination, right!"
"I told you I'm not in a relationship!"
"Then what are you doing for!"
"He is my best friend, I just want to help him!" Lin Qingle went forward to get the phone, "Mom, give it back to me—"
"Help him? Our family is in this situation and you're still thinking of helping others." Lin Yufen was furious, but seeing her always well-behaved daughter completely ignoring her words, she felt helpless, "Qingle, he can't protect himself, and so can we. Do you know how much trouble it will bring you if you go find him and help him now?"
"I know." Lin Qingle looked at her stubbornly, "But I have to go."
"Lin Qingle!"
"Give me-"
Lin Yufen was extremely angry, and while Lin Qingle was still not reacting, she closed the door and locked her inside.
Lin Qingle was stunned for a moment, and knocked on the door vigorously: "Mom! What are you doing! Open the door for me!"
The knocks on the door were very loud, each time, like knocking on one's heart.
Lin Yufen lowered her eyes and looked at the text message, feeling confused.
She was afraid that her daughter's life would deviate from the expected track, that she would go astray, and that she would be criticized by others...
Lin Yufen wiped her tears, not knowing what to do. But when she heard the knock on the door, she could only compromise in her heart. She knew that her daughter would not give up until the matter was resolved: "I will tell him."
The knocking stopped instantly.
Lin Yufen stood outside the door and said, "I'll tell him that he has an appointment with the doctor. I'll ask someone to take him there, and I'll transfer all the money from my bank card to him. But Qingle, you stay in your room and don't go anywhere!"
Lin Qingle: “But—”
"If you want him to see a doctor, just listen to me." Lin Yufen said in a deep voice, "What do you think it would be of any use if you went? He needs a doctor, not you!"
"mom… "
Lin Yufen left, and Lin Qingle heard the sound of the door.
She tried the door handle twice, but it was tightly shut and wouldn't open at all.
Lin Qingle let go of him in frustration, but she was also a little relieved. No matter what, she had to let him know the time they had an appointment with the doctor.
—
Lin Qingle has been waiting at home.
She knew that her mother was really angry this time, otherwise, based on her usual behavior, she would never have delayed her from going to school.
Around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of a door opening was heard outside. Lin Qingle hurriedly got out of bed and leaned against the door to listen.
There were footsteps coming in and Lin Yufen opened the door and came in.
Lin Qingle's eyes fell directly on her face.
Lin Yufen looked at her daughter and said calmly, "Why, are you afraid that I didn't tell him or give him any money?"
Lin Qingle: “…”
Lin Yufen took out her cell phone, dialed a number, and handed it to her: "Here."
Lin Qingle saw Xu Tingbai's number on the screen and immediately took the phone. After a beep, the call went through.
Lin Yufen didn't stop at the door of the room, she intentionally gave it space.
"Hello?"
"Lin Qingle."
When Lin Qingle heard that it was indeed Xu Tingbai's voice, his heart finally settled down, and he asked anxiously: "Are you okay? How is your injury?"
"It's okay, it's not serious."
Lin Qingle breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you know about the ophthalmologist?"
"Um."
"money… "
"Your mother gave it to me." Xu Tingbai said, "But your mother is right, don't come to see me recently, it's not good for you."
Lin Qingle lowered his eyes to look at the tip of his shoe and whispered, "I've seen the police. They said someone saw me coming out that night. I said I was going to Grandma Jiang's house."
This was what Xu Tingbai told her, just in case.
If no one saw it, then it would be fine. But if someone saw it, he would say that he just went to Grandma Jiang's house, and he would also talk to Grandma Jiang about it.
"I know."
Lin Qingle: "Well... you know the time to see the doctor."
"The Fifth Hospital is at ten o'clock next Monday morning, right?"
"Um."
"Someone will take me there," Xu Tingbai said, "Just stay home and don't contact me anymore."
"But if it can be treated, you have to tell me the time of the surgery! You have to tell me if you don't have enough money." Lin Qingle lowered his voice, "Maybe your eyes will be healed after the surgery, and then you can see me."
Xu Tingbai paused: "Yeah."
Lin Qingle couldn't control his joy when he thought of that scene: "Then it's settled. If the surgery is possible, I will wait for you to have it. When your eyes are healed, you must be the first to see me."
"… "
"Xu Tingbai?"
"I am here."
"It's a deal."
"… good."
—
The next two days were weekends.
Lin Yufen was supposed to go to work this weekend, but she stayed at home. Lin Qingle knew that she was afraid that she would do something disobedient again. In her mother's eyes, she had completely broken the shell of her previous obedient self.
On Monday, Lin Qingle was finally able to leave home and go to school.
"Qingle, are you feeling better?" Yu Tingting asked after entering the classroom.
Lin Qingle was locked up at home and unable to go to school last Friday. When Yu Tingting and Jiang Shuyi called to ask about her, she could only say that she had a cold and a fever.
"Okay, that's it."
"That's good.
Lin Qingle walked towards his seat, and Yu Jiayou from the back row also walked over to the narrow aisle. The two of them faced each other, and Lin Qingle nodded at him and tilted his body to let him pass.
"I heard you had a cold." Yu Jiayou stopped.
Lin Qingle looked at him: "Yeah, but it's okay now."
Yu Jiayou: "Although the weather is hot, you still have to be careful."
"I know." Lin Qingle smiled at him: "Thank you."
"Um… "
Yu Jiayou continued to walk towards the classroom door. Lin Qingle withdrew his gaze and looked at his watch.
Xu Tingbai will go to see the doctor in two and a half hours. By then, we will know whether his eyes can still be cured.
To be honest, she was very nervous and afraid of hearing any bad news.
So she also imagined in her mind, what if the doctor said there was no way... then she would say something to Xu Tingbai so that he wouldn't be so sad.
The morning time passed minute by minute, and when the noon school bell rang, Lin Qingle immediately got up to borrow Jiang Shuyi's cell phone, as her mother had confiscated it.
"I didn't bring it today. Do you want to call?" Jiang Shuyi said.
Lin Qingle glanced at Yu Tingting, who also shook her head: "My mom doesn't let me take my child because my grades are so bad."
"It's okay, I'll go home."
"Use mine." Yu Jiayou came over and handed her the phone.
Lin Qingle glanced at him and didn't care about anything else. "Thank you. I'll return it to you right after I finish playing."
"It's okay, use it as you like."
Lin Qingle nodded and walked out into the corridor with his phone.
Yu Tingting looked at Lin Qingle, then at Yu Jiayou: "Hey, actually you like Qingle, right?"
Yu Jiayou paused and said nothing.
Yu Tingting: "Oh... you agree."
Yu Jiayou: "I'll go back to my seat first."
"Eh..." Yu Tingting didn't mind seeing that he didn't say anything, and looked at Jiang Shuyi with a smile, "I just think that Yu Jiayou really likes Qingle, but Qingle says that he doesn't. Shuyi, what do you think?"
Jiang Shuyi lowered her eyes and put away her books. She felt a little annoyed when she heard this: "Does it matter to me? He can like whoever he likes..."
Lin Qingle used Yu Jiayou's phone to call Xu Tingbai, but it was turned off.
She didn't give up and called several more times, but each time the phone was turned off...
Xu Tingbai should have known that she would definitely call him today, so there was no way he would not bring his cell phone.
Could it be that the power is out
Lin Qingle thought so, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She was nervous for the whole morning and wanted to know an answer urgently. So after the phone couldn't get through, she returned Yu Jiayou and went out to take a taxi.
The destination is his home. After seeing the doctor at this time, he should have returned home.
However, when she went to his house, she didn't find him.
Lin Qingle did not stop and went directly to the hospital where he had been sent by the police. After asking a few questions at the hospital, the nurse said that he had been discharged yesterday.
Finally, she went to the Ophthalmology Department of the Fifth Hospital where she had an appointment and where he was supposed to go today.
What Lin Qingle didn't expect was that she learned from the nurse's station that the number she had registered for was expired.
Xu Tingbai didn't come today.
—
She didn't understand why he didn't go to the hospital today, he had clearly promised her.
Lin Qingle didn't know how to find him again, and finally, she thought of Lin Yufen.
The time for afternoon class has arrived, but Lin Qingle has no intention of going to class at all. The only thing she wants now is a reason.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Qingle stood outside the factory where Lin Yufen worked.
When Lin Yufen came out and saw her, she was not surprised, but just frowned: "You should be in school now, you know."
Lin Qingle: "You didn't give him any money, did you?"
Lin Yufen was silent for two seconds: "In your eyes, your mother is such a person who doesn't keep her word?"
"But he didn't go to the hospital today! He didn't go to see his eyes!" Lin Qingle had been suppressing himself until now, and he had completely collapsed, "He promised me, but he didn't go."
"You think he won't go back on his promise to you, and if I promise you, I must be lying to you, right?"
"mom!"
"I did give him the money that day! But he withdrew it to my card today. Qingle, Mom didn't stop him from paying, nor did she stop him from going to the hospital. I'm not that crazy! He didn't go, he just decided not to go on his own, understand?"
"Impossible! He has promised me to go for treatment! He won't lie to me!" Lin Qingle looked at Lin Yufen with red eyes, "Mom, why did he return the money? Did you say something else to him that day? Is he unhappy, so he did this?"
"What can I say to him? What can I say to him! He makes you go to him every week and help him like crazy, and he drags you into his quagmire! Even so, I still give him all that money and ask others to take him to see a doctor! Qingle, it's enough for your mother to do this!" Lin Yufen said, "It's not worth it for you to do so many things. What can he give you? He can't do anything. He will only drag you down!"
"Pull me into the quagmire... drag me down?"
"Yes, look, it also led to you being interviewed by the police! Not only was he called a suspect, but you almost—"
"He is helping me." Lin Qingle said softly.
"What?"
"You also know that I almost did it. It was because of him that I didn't almost do it." Lin Qingle looked at Lin Yufen and said, "Mom, don't say he is a suspect. The police said he is not a suspect. Why are you making blind guesses like those gossipers... What's the difference between you and those people who talked about us before?"
"Lin Qingle—"
"And I was at his house that night."
Lin Yufen was stunned: "What did you say?"
"I was at his house, and I was right next to his dad when he fell. He just didn't want people to talk nonsense about me, so for this, he insisted on clearing me... So can you please stop talking about him like that?" Lin Qingle's tears fell straight to the ground. She blinked her eyes, and after a long time she said blankly: "Mom, do you know, when I was in elementary school, Dad had those things, and everyone ignored me and hated me. I didn't know how to tell you, because you cried every day at that time and had no time to take care of me... I was too scared and too inferior at that time, I didn't know what to do. It was Xu Tingbai who still cared about me, and he helped me drive away those who bullied me. He brought me snacks from his house every day, he helped me review, and played with me..."
Lin Qingle wiped away the tears that kept coming out and murmured, "He didn't drag me down... He didn't when I was a child, and he doesn't drag me down now. I was the one who insisted on looking for him, and I was the one who insisted on him paying attention to me and opening the door for me. He is very good. Because I am not good at English, he accompanied me to watch foreign movies that he couldn't even watch, taught me translation, and corrected my English essays... I studied at his house, and he taught me a lot... Mom, do you know that he was the one who supported me when I was a child? I worked hard to study and live... A lot of things are because of him... He is really good, and he has never been the one who dragged me down..."
Lin Qingle's voice became unclear at the end. She choked up and looked at Lin Yufen: "I can't find him. Do you know where he went? Can you tell me?"
Lin Yufen knew that those childhood events had affected her daughter, but she didn't expect the impact to be so profound.
She looked at Lin Qingle who was crying bitterly and wanted to wipe her tears out of heartache.
But before his hands touched her, he stopped her, "Where did he go? Tell me."
"I don't know." Lin Yufen didn't expect the two children to have such a deep bond. She sighed deeply and said, "Qingle, I really don't know. I just heard from Officer Yang Teng from the police station that a relative from abroad came to look for him, and they must have taken him away."
"He didn't—"
Lin Qingle subconsciously wanted to say that he had no relatives! But thinking of overseas, she suddenly remembered that he had mentioned on her birthday that he had an aunt who was very kind to him, but later she had no contact with him because of a falling out with his family.
Lin Qingle: "He, went with them?"
"Qingle, this is the best ending. You are still so young, how can you take care of him? He is also a minor, he needs a guardian. Now someone is taking him away, to another city or abroad, they will definitely take care of him and give him treatment. It's better for him than staying here."
Lin Qingle: "But why did he turn off his phone? Why didn't he tell me?"
Lin Yufen naturally remembered that day in the hospital when the child promised not to disturb his own daughter again after her pleading.
"Since he's leaving, he naturally won't linger here anymore. He knows there's no benefit in being involved with you any longer."
"But he promised me... He said that once his eyes are healed, he would see me first. He promised me..."
"Qingle, be good. You have your life, and he has his. You two are not the same kind of people. You have to live your own life, understand?"
