280 A Fool for Life 1 (2/2)

Song Qingchun also knew there was a ninety percent chance that Qin Yinan wouldn't return after he left. He would probably send one of his friends to come take care of her in his place. However, to her surprise, Qin Yinan returned after fifteen minutes, and he came carrying a few bags in his arms. They were clothes for her to change into.

Song Qingchun was shocked. She asked after recovering from her surprise, ”How's Tang Nuan?”

”I had Zhang Zi take her to the hospital. Don't worry about her, you need to rest. When you're feeling better, I'll take you to the police station to report the case, and then I'll send you home.”

”I had Zhang Zi take her to the hospital. Don't worry about her, you need to rest. When you're feeling better, I'll take you to the police station to report the case, and then I'll send you home.”

Su Zhinian stepped out from a hundred-year-old tree when he heard that sentence.

The thin shirt that he was wearing had started to frost from staying out in the elements for far too long.

His whole body was shivering—even his teeth were chattering from cold—but he didn't rush toward his car. Instead, he walked toward the place Song Qingchun had been lying earlier.

He stared emotionlessly at that spot, and the memories of his kiss with her slowly flooded his mind. He squatted down slowly to caress the slightly frozen dried grass, and his gaze softened with affection.

It was he who had made the call to Qin Yinan. Even though he knew Qin Yinan carried a torch for Tang Nuan, he also understood the place Song Qingchun held in Qin Yinan's heart.

However, he ultimately was not Qin Yinan, so he stayed behind until he heard Qin Yinan promise he would send Song Qingchun home. Only then did Su Zhinian's heart relax.
