    Su Lin 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 the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

    After Su Xiangnan returned to the ward, he saw Xue Xue peeling an apple for Su Lin.

    “I’ll 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.

    “Aunt and Su Xiangnan will talk first.” Xue Xue knew that mother and son must have something to say, so she stood up knowingly.”I’m going to the convenience store downstairs to buy something.”

    “Okay.” Su Lin patted Xue Xue’s hand.”Thank you for coming to see me today. Auntie is very happy.”

    “There’s nothing to thank you for.” Xue Xue smiled, showing two tiger teeth that made her look well-behaved and sincere.”If Auntie doesn’t mind me being annoying, I will come to visit you often.”

    “Okay, okay, okay.” After saying “ok” three times in a row, Su Lin leaned his whole body on the upright hospital bed.”But you are already in your senior year of high school now, and you still have to prepare for the college entrance examination. It won’t be too late to visit me more often after the college entrance examination.”

    “Well, that’s what I agreed with my aunt.” Xue Xue said, reaching out to hook up with Su Lin.”I will work hard and work hard with Su Xiangnan.”

    When his name was suddenly called, Su Xiangnan, who was silently peeling apples for his mother, raised his eyes.

    Xue Xue blinked at him.

    Su Lin, who saw their interaction in her eyes, didn’t look a bit nervous when she was alone with Xue Xue just now. At this time, she was like an ordinary, amiable mother, staring at her son and her son’s girlfriend.

    Not to mention ordinary mothers and children, but after so many years of relying on each other, some mothers may not be able to let go and hold unspeakable hostility towards their son’s partner.

    What’s more, both of them are just high school students who have just grown up and are preparing to enter the next stage of their lives.

    But Su Lin felt peaceful inside. In addition to being grateful, he was still grateful.

    The thing she couldn’t let go of the most in her life was her son.

    A truly innocent child who bears the consequences of his own selfishness.

    Over the past year, she watched Su Xiangnan become increasingly silent, sharp and gloomy, never listening to her own advice, insisting on using precious time to find ways to pay for her high medical expenses… Su Lin only felt heartache, and at the same time, she was at a loss.

    She thought about taking her own life several times to relieve herself and her son from the pain. However, thinking that Su Xiangnan had almost abandoned his studies because of his illness, Su Lin felt that this was just another selfish decision made by his cowardly self.

    Because she no longer wants to live.

    The result of repeated entanglements is just 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 else that she had reached the point where her fuel was exhausted.

    The only thing she cared about and couldn’t let go of was her son, and that was all she had 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 rare it is to meet the right person at the right time.

    “I have been selfish so many times in my life, and now I want to be selfish again for the last time.”

    Before Su Xiangnan came in, Su Lin said this to Xue Xue.

    “I leave Su Xiangnan to you.”

    “It doesn’t matter if one day you don’t love him anymore. I just hope that you can tell him honestly─”

    “I don’t love you anymore.”

    Su Lin had been waiting for this sentence all his life.

    So she humbly held on to that meager hope for more than ten years, but the ending she ushered in was such a tragic one.

    Su Lin did not want his son to follow his own path.

    As someone who has experienced it, she can clearly see who has the upper hand and who has the lower hand in this relationship.

    A person’s life is neither long nor short. Su Lin does not expect Su Xiangnan to achieve much, he only hopes that he will get what he wants and be healthy throughout his life.

    “What did you and my mother talk about?”

    At around 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 take Xue Xue back to his hometown for the New Year.

    According to past experience, they will visit relatives in their hometown and stay for about five days. When they return, 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 focus on spending the New Year with Su Lin, and also have some time alone to think about the future.

    But now, they still have some things to solve.

    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 had turned off their lights, and the light from a few low-rise buildings could not penetrate the high walls. The entire road seemed empty, with only two rows of adjacent street lamps casting long shadows to accompany them.

    Half of it sinks in the night, and half of it blends into the light and shadow.

    Su Xiangnan looked at Xue Xue, silent.
