Surin is expected to have surgery in April.
Su Lin's attending doctor also discussed this part when explaining Su Lin's condition to Su Xiangnan.
In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
After Su Xiangnan returned to the ward, he saw Xue Xue cutting apples for Su Lin.
"Let me do it."
Su Xiangnan's voice made Su Lin and Xue Xue look up at the same time.
Seeing his son, Su Lin showed a gentle smile on his face.
"Auntie and Su Xiangnan will talk first." Xue Xue knew that there was something to be said between mother and son, so she stood up wisely. "I'm going to the convenience store downstairs to buy something."
"Okay." Su Lin patted Xue Xue's hand. "Thank you for visiting me today. Auntie is very happy."
"It's nothing to thank you." Xue Xue smiled, and the two tiger teeth exposed made her look cute and sincere. "If my aunt doesn't bother me, I'll visit you often."
"Okay, okay, okay." After saying okay three times in a row, Su Lin leaned his whole body on the upright hospital bed. "But you are already in the third year of high school, and you still have to prepare for the college entrance examination. It will not be too late to visit me often after the college entrance examination."
"Well, I made an agreement with my aunt like this." Xue Xue said, reaching out and hooking with Su Lin. "I will do my best and work hard with Su Xiangnan."
Suddenly named, Su Xiangnan, who was silently peeling apples for her mother, raised her eyes.
Xue Xue winked at him.
Su Lin, who saw their interaction in her eyes, didn't look a little nervous when she was alone with Xue Xue. At this time, she was like an ordinary, amiable mother, staring at her son, and his son's girlfriend.
Not to mention the ordinary mother and son, the two have been dependent on each other for so many years, and perhaps some mothers will not let go, and hold unspeakable hostility to the object of their son.
Besides, both of them are only high school students who have just come of age and are preparing to enter the next stage of their lives.
But Su Lin was at peace in his heart, besides being grateful, he was still grateful.
The only thing she can't let go of in her life is her son.
A child who is truly innocent, but bears the consequences of his own selfishness.
Over the past year, she has watched Su Xiangnan become increasingly silent, becoming sharp and gloomy, never listening to her advice, insisting on using her precious time to pay for her high medical expenses... Su Lin only felt heartache. Bewildered.
She wanted to end her life several times, so as to relieve herself and her son's pain. However, when she thought that Su Xiangnan had almost abandoned her studies because of her illness, Su Lin felt that this was just a cowardly act by herself, and another selfish act. Decide.
Because she doesn't want to live anymore.
The result of repeated entanglement is nothing but a mental state that is getting weaker day by day.
Although she always held on in front of Su Xiangnan, Su Lin knew better than anyone that she had reached the point where she was running out of fuel.
The only thing she missed and couldn't let go of was her son, and only her son was left.
Fortunately, Su Xiangnan was luckier than her.
Su Lin didn't want to make excuses for her mistakes, but her own experience made her deeply understand how precious it is to meet the right person at the right time.
"I've been selfish so many times in my life, and now, I want to be selfish for the last time."
Before Su Xiangnan came in, Su Lin said this to Xue Xue.
"I handed Su Xiangnan to you."
"It doesn't matter if you don't love him anymore, I just hope you can honestly tell him—"
"I do not love you anymore."
Su Lin has waited all his life for this sentence.
So she humbly held that little hope for more than ten years, but the ending was so tragic.
Su Lin did not want his son to follow his old path.
As a past person, she can see clearly who has the upper hand and who has the lower hand in this relationship.
A person's life is not long or short. Su Lin does not ask for Su Xiangnan's great achievements, but only hopes that he can get what he wants and live a healthy life.
"What did you and my mother talk about?"
After nine o'clock in the evening, Su Xiangnan asked this question on the way to send Xue Xue back to the dormitory.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, Xue's father and Xue's mother will drive to pick up Xue Xue back to his hometown for Chinese New Year.
According to past experience, they will visit relatives in their hometown for about five days, and when they come back, they are almost ready to go to school.
This seems to be the first time the two have been separated for so long since their relationship was confirmed.
However, Xue Xue knew that this was necessary. Su Xiangnan could concentrate on spending the New Year with Su Lin, and also have time alone to think about the future.
And now, they still have some things to work out.
Xue Xue has been waiting for Su Xiangnan to take the initiative to speak.
"We talked a lot," she said, pausing. "Do you have anything to ask?"
At this time, most of the commercial offices have turned off the lights, and the light from a few low-rise buildings cannot penetrate the high walls. follow them.
Half sinks in the night, half blends into light and shadow.
Su Xiangnan looked at Xue Xue, silent.
