âBut what if it really is appendicitisâ¦?â Lu Weixi knew that immediate treatment at the hospital for appendicitis would be fine, but if delayed, it could be fatal!
âDonât worry, if you feel pain again, call 120 immediately. I want to be with our dear Xixi too.â
Only then did Lu Weixi relax, and began to rush Qin Zhiyou: âYou better go now!â
âOk.â In the middle of their conversation, Qin Zhiyou also received a call from his grandfather.
He would never ignore his grandfatherâs orders, so he said, âCall me anytime. Iâll get there as soon as possible.â
âItâs okay.â Lu Weixi rushed him off. At that time, she didnât think too much about it, but looking back, maybe itâs because of this sentence, when her mother actually got into trouble later, she was indeed unable to find anyone else, so she told Qin Zhiyou about it.
But at that time, she just angrily drove Qin Zhiyou away, waiting until the sound of his car faded, and then turned around and phoned Qin Zhigu.
Still, no answer.
She sighed and sent Qin Zhigu a text message, also sent him a message on WeChat, QQ, Weibo, tried every possible way to hope for his return.
However, his avatar was grayed out, he never replied to her messages.
Even the previous one, and the one before that, were all messages that she sent, but Qin Zhigu never replied.
But soon, Lu Weixi saw a picture of the New Yearâs Eve dinner that Qin Zhiyou posted in his Moments. In the corner of the picture, there was Qin Zhigu.
He was clearly at home!
For a moment, Lu Weixi even wanted to confront her good brother through Qin Zhiyou, asking why he was ignoring her, why he didnât return her calls, and why he wouldnât even send a message.
Lu Weixi even had an impulse: to go to the Qin Family now, meet Qin Zhigu and ask him what it was all about.
She restrained herself again and again, and still stayed at home with her mother, waiting to go the day after tomorrow.
But when she woke up the next day, she asked her mother if she was feeling better. Her mother had calmed down and even laughed, âI told you it wasnât appendicitis, I just had indigestion. Just need some rest.â
Although Lu Weixi was relieved, she still insisted, âMom, could you go to the hospital for a health check-up in a couple of days?â
âAlright, no problem. Iâll go after the New Year. Itâs too miserable to go to the hospital during the New Year.â
âNo, on the eighth day of the New Year, people start work then. Go that day, I can go with you, okay?â
âAlright, alright.â Mother Lu clapped her hands, and only then did Lu Weixi have the mood to check her messages.
Qin Zhigu still hadnât replied.
On the second day of the New Year, Qin Zhiyou sent a message in his Moments, saying,âItâs just me and grandpa left.â
Yang Moguiâs parentsâ home was in Yan City, but Kong Jieâs hometown and Chang Zaigangâs home were not in Yan City. On the second day of the New Year, Qin Zhigu would follow his mother to his grandmotherâs house.
Moreover, once he went to his grandmotherâs house this time, he would stay there for several days.
No messages.
Not answering calls.
Not posting to his Moments, not updating status.
Itâs as if he disappeared from the face of the earth.
Until the eighth day of the New Year.
Under Lu Weixiâs persisting pressure, her mom still went to the hospital. But the results of the check-up were a bit worrying, the doctor even asked her to undergo further testing. He said that there were some abnormalities in her liver function, and, a large shadow could be seen on the right side of her abdomen.
Lu Weixi got a bit worried, so her mother had a second test the same day.
