Hu Yifan, nearly livid, finally calmed down after Su Qing handed him a glass of ice water.
At this point, Liu Ranran kept her mouth shut, no longer daring to do anything more sinister.
Observing her expression, Hu Yifan ordered her another milk tea.
Su Qing's gaze lingered on Hu Yifan due to his action for several minutes before she began a serious conversation.
"I'm sorry for calling you out so hastily today."
In fact, it was still a bit awkward, especially since Hu Yifan hadn't given his consent.
Su Qing had arranged this meeting through Liu Ranran. Ranran wasn't as thoughtful and casually kept quiet about it, but Su Qing didn't want Hu Yifan to take his anger out on Liu Ranran.
Looking at the two of them at that moment, they always seemed a little different from the others, especially since Hu Yifan had bought Liu Ranran a cup of milk tea, and the atmosphere between them seemed quite friendly.
Su Qing finally felt relieved.
Hu Yifan was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Su Qing to apologize first.
Such good manners were perfectly embodied in Su Qing.
Even the things in the past seemed to have no effect on Su Qing, but Hu Yifan was no longer the boy he used to be. He knew that those things must have left different scars in Su Qing's heart.
At this moment, his heart was even more tormented.
Before, he had even hoped that Jiang Sui wouldn't like Su Qing, thinking that Su Qing...
He froze for a moment, his fingers clenched stiffly around the cup.
"You don't need to apologize to me..."
"I should apologize to you." But Hu Yifan wasn't a fool, so he didn't hesitate to say such a blunt statement.
He wasn't stupid. He knew Su Qing's apology at that moment, so she probably wouldn't have called him out rashly.
Hu Yifan waved his hand.
"I saw you guys a long time ago. If I didn't want to come, I would have turned around and left. You should know that no one can force me."
"I came here of my own accord."
"And I certainly won't blame Liu Ranran, don't worry."
Su Qing hadn't expected Hu Yifan to say that. Clearly, he had guessed her thoughts.
Liu Ranran was sipping milk tea when she heard Hu Yifan call her name.
Blame her. She couldn't help but frown at Hu Yifan.
"What blame..."
"Drink your milk tea! Adults are talking, not children matters!"
He passed the milk tea to Liu Ranran.
The girl, glaring and about to explode, thought of Su Qing beside her.
She fell silent.
Hu Yifan, taking advantage of Su Qing's daze, curled his lips into a relaxed smile.
"I know you have something to ask me. Go ahead. I'll tell you everything I know."
He raised an eyebrow at Su Qing.
Originally, he had a lot he didn't want to say, but seeing Su Qing today, he changed his mind.
Because he could see Su Qing cared.
Even if she didn't care, she couldn't avoid Jiang Sui and call him out.
Su Qing had been stunned for a long time. After hearing Hu Yifan's words, she hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Jiang Sui, have he been kicked out...?"
Su Qing couldn't bring herself to finish the words she'd spoken. It was clearly a confirmed fact, but she still wanted to ask again, to get the definitive answer.
As Hu Yifan nodded, her heart sank.
"Brother Sui, not only have moved out, but that his house was rented."
The young man, always known for his generosity, was renting. Hu Yifan said this because he had once seen a pair of women's slippers in the entrance of a house.
It was obvious who they belonged to.
Since he had already made up his mind to reveal the secret, so had one more answer for Su Qing.
Perhaps renting a house might seem like a small matter to others, but for Jiang Sui, something he could afford in a matter of minutes had become like this.
Su Qing naturally understood what was going on and knew that Hu Yifan wasn't deliberately emphasizing anything.
It was just a statement of fact, and she couldn't help but curl her fingertips.
"From when he came back from the competition?"
Hu Yifan was clearly shocked. Su Qing seemed incredibly clever.
Based on Hu Yifan's expression, Su Qing knew she had guessed correctly.
Su Qing didn't even need to ask about what happened next. She had already completely confirmed the suspicions and assumptions in her heart and mind.
She even knew the reason why Jiang Sui was acting this way.
A moment of silence followed.
Finally, Hu Yifan couldn't help but look at Su Qing.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Su Qing shook her head, then spoke with a tone of absolute certainty.
"No need to ask, is all this because of me?"
Su Qing had always been clever, so naturally she'd thought of everything.
He moved out, started earning money, got busy, and kept telling her to trust him.
Hu Yifan was stunned, then shook his head and argued.
"No, it's not just because of you. His relationship with his family isn't exactly harmonious; it's complicated. This is what Brother Sui has always wanted to do, it's just happening sooner."
What Hu Yifan said was true.
But no matter what, Su Qing was the butterfly in the butterfly effect, and she was convinced of this.
"Do you want to know what Brother Sui is doing right now?"
After a long silence, Hu Yifan took the initiative.
Su Qing's mind was in a turmoil. If everything she could guess was already confirmed, then had Jiang Sui gone to the hospital that day because he was sick...
Hu Yifan was the only one who had witnessed her that time in the hospital.
Su Qing nodded and asked Hu Yifan as she stood up to leave.
"Did you tell him about me in the hospital that day?"
Hu Yifan, who had already stood up, was surprised by Su Qing's question. His expression remained calm, and after a quick brainstorm, he shook his head.
"No, did Brother Sui go to the hospital?"
"When did it happen?"
Surprised, bewildered, and even a little worried.
He quickly decided not to tell the truth because it would bring up Su Qing's past, and there were many other things he could think of. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to say he didn't know.
He even felt that if he didn't say it, then Brother Sui's visit to the hospital would seem to have been for no reason.
Su Qing would undoubtedly be anxious.
As expected, Su Qing blinked for a moment, then paused.
She hadn't expected that encounter at the hospital that day to be such a chance encounter.
Then there was only one reason he'd gone to the hospital: he was injured...
"Bring me go find him."
There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.
