Song Shijun froze for a few seconds after hearing her words. He suddenly understood everything, and it showed in his face.

Mu Xiaoxiao had gone to America to study largely because her mother had gone there to treat her illness. However, she had still passed away after half a year. From then on, the Mus stayed in America and didn’t really return home anymore.

It was because of this that they hadn’t had much interaction with Mu Xiaoxiao these past four years.

However, Song Shijun quickly became confused again. “But what’s Lu Yichen’s injury got to do with her mom’s passing?”

Han Qiqing sighed again. “Perhaps… It might be what you mentioned earlier, something about the situation not being optimistic. I think she’s heard that phrase countless times when her mom was sick too, so she would be scared to hear such a term.”

However, this was only a guess on her part. She was not only a girl but also Mu Xiaoxiao’s best friend, so she could guess what Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking.

When she had seen how Mu Xiaoxiao had cried earlier, her first instinct led her to think about Mu Xiaoxiao’s mom’s passing.

This made Han Qiqing remember uncontrollably about three-and-a-half years ago, which was when Mu Xiaoxiao had just left for America for half a year before her mom died. She had still been in constant contact with Mu Xiaoxiao then. Mu Xiaoxiao would call her to have heart-to-heart talks, where she would cry as she talked, confiding that she didn’t want her mum to leave her side.

After that, Mu Xiaoxiao’s mom passed away. Perhaps Mu Xiaoxiao was too sad, causing their contact to lessen.

Han Qiqing gazed over at her. Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao crying as her face was buried in Yin Shaojie’s chest made her feel sad. It was as though they had returned to that time when Mu Xiaoxiao had cried to her as she said, “I love my Mama, and I don’t want her to leave me.”

Han Qiqing’s eyes gradually teared up again.

Noticing that she was crying again, he was at a loss of what to do and said, “Aiyoh, why are you crying again? It’s one thing for Xiaoxiao to cry, but why are you crying too?”

He searched his clothes from top to bottom but couldn’t find a tissue.

In the end, he stopped a passer-by and borrowed some tissues, giving it to Han Qiqing.

Han Qiqing took it, and it quickly became soaked.

Song Shijun gave her another piece, and Han Qiqing held it to her eyes again.

“Do you want to give some to Xiaoxiao? You can take it to her,” he suggested. His gaze traveled to them, and he didn’t dare to go over himself.

Han Qiqing had finally stopped crying, but her eyes were still a little wet. She shot a glare at him as she replied, “Are you an idiot? Do you not see Yin Shaojie there? Xiaoxiao’s tears have already been wiped on his shirt, which makes your tissues useless.”

Song Shijun realized this and kept the packet of tissues embarrassedly.

However, before he could do that, Han Qiqing snatched it away and said, “Give me the packet.”

Song Shijun stared into her reddened eyes. He didn’t tease her as usual as he asked, “Do you still need more? If you do, I can go out and buy you some.”

“No, why would I? Do you want me to continue crying?” Han Qiqing replied unagreeably.

Song Shijun was speechless.

He was only trying to be considerate for once. Why was this so hard!

Meanwhile.

After a while, the door to the operating theater opened. Everyone crowded around the doctor as soon as he came out.

Mu Xiaoxiao had just finished sobbing, and her reflexes were a little slow.

Han Qiqing was the first one to dash over. “Doctor, Doctor! How’s the patient?” she inquired anxiously.

“The patient…” The doctor had wanted to put on some airs as he revealed the information but changed his attitude to that of an amicable one when he met Yin Shaojie’s alpha-male gaze. “The patient’s operation went well, but…”
