Chapter 1592: Chapter 1592: The Secret Is about to Be Discovered
Friendship between men is different from that between women.
Among close female friends, emotional connections are more delicate and profound; when they haven’t seen each other for a long time, they truly miss one another.
"If you have time, you can bring Tingye back to visit us." Ning Yanan couldn’t help but remind them again.
"Of course."
Qin Youxuan’s mood improved slightly. She reached out and hugged Ning Yanan, and the two sisters sat together chatting for a long time.
When mealtime arrived, Jiang Jinchen finally pulled the reluctant Ning Yanan away.
"They’ve left already, and yet you’re still staring." Dan Hanjie walked up unhappily, cupping her chin and making her look at him. "I promised you, whenever you want to go back, I’ll be there with you."
"I’m fine, I’m just really happy for Yaya. She’s so blissful now."
Back then, no one had faith in their relationship, and yet they ended up reaping all the happiness.
Qin Youxuan lowered her gaze. If her father were still alive, she thought she would feel like the happiest person in the world.
Qin Youxuan twisted the fabric of her clothes with her small hand, refusing to let herself dwell on such thoughts any further.
Turning around, she threw herself into Dan Hanjie’s arms, tightly hugging his strong and firm waist.
...
Rehabilitation was monotonous, dull, and intensely difficult.
Every time Qin Youxuan accompanied Dan Hanjie to the rehabilitation room, watching him train through the pain until he was drenched in sweat, she couldn’t help but feel heartache.
The most painful part was knowing that amidst all his suffering, he still kept secrets buried in his heart.
Every time Dan Hanjie mentioned his leg, Qin Youxuan would tense up, afraid she wouldn’t be able to keep her composure.
Yet every time she felt herself nearing the breaking point, Dan Hanjie would calmly reassure her, saying it was no big deal.
From start to finish, he never doubted that she might be deceiving him.
The calmer Dan Hanjie acted, the more guilt-ridden and distressed Qin Youxuan felt inside.
She was terrified that, once he learned the truth, he might not be able to accept it.
"The progress looks good, you can be discharged earlier than expected. You’ll still need crutches for walking during this period. Once walking no longer hurts, then you can toss them aside." Diwu Zexuan glanced through the medical file, casually closed it, and placed it aside.
"Discharged?"
Qin Youxuan turned to Diwu Zexuan in shock. "Are you saying that he can be discharged now?"
"You’ve really gotten attached to this place, haven’t you? Reluctant to leave?" Dan Hanjie, who was changing clothes, heard her words and reached out to her.
Without hesitation, Qin Youxuan walked over to him and became his crutch.
Still unwilling to let go of the previous question, she looked at Diwu Zexuan again. "He can really be discharged now?"
"Do I look like I’m joking?" Diwu Zexuan’s silvery eyes gleamed faintly with a mysterious light.
"But didn’t you say his leg would... would require a long rehabilitation period to recover? How is it that he can be discharged so quickly now?" Qin Youxuan struggled to form her words, softly voicing her doubts.
"That was in the beginning. Now that I’ve treated him, you should be thanking me, not questioning me." Diwu Zexuan wore an expression of arrogance.
"..."
Qin Youxuan froze for a moment before recovering her composure. "So, what you’re saying is... he doesn’t have to limp?"
"Did I ever say he would definitely end up limping?" Diwu Zexuan raised his brows, leaning against the wall, amusement dancing in his eyes as he looked at Qin Youxuan.
Qin Youxuan felt utterly speechless, and then sudden realization struck her. She looked sharply at Dan Hanjie. "So you knew from the start and were in on him fooling me?"
Dan Hanjie’s nerves tightened instantly. He quickly shot Diwu Zexuan a warning glance, then wrapped his arm around Qin Youxuan’s waist, pulling her firmly into his embrace.
