Yu Zhi's hand was dampened by Jiang Yuqiu's tears. Without a tissue, he spoke softly, with a hint of helplessness and affection, "Don't cry."
"I'm here."
You've finally come...
Why did it take you so long to get here...
Jiang Yuqiu thought these words but didn't voice them. He bit his lip, raised his arm to wipe his face, his flushed cheeks and swollen eyes silently revealing the extent of his earlier distress.
Although he didn't want to worry Yu Zhi or be seen as pitiful, he found it impossible to control his emotions in front of him.
Jiang Yuqiu didn't fully understand these feelings; he just knew he didn't want Yu Zhi to see him in such a bad light, but he failed. He simply couldn't manage to hide it.
He anxiously repeated, "But... but I was scammed. They took a lot of money from me. I'm so stupid, I..."
Even though Yu Zhi was burning with the desire to find the scammer and make things right, at that moment, he could only focus on comforting Jiang Yuqiu.
"It's okay, I'll give you the money I have with me," Yu Zhi said, reaching into his pocket.
Jiang Yuqiu quickly tried to refuse, worried about losing more money or being scammed again.
But Yu Zhi pulled out a single coin and, with a serious expression, placed it in Jiang Yuqiu's palm.
Jiang Yuqiu looked puzzled, while Yu Zhi gazed at him with eyes filled with a soft, honeyed warmth. His voice, gentle yet slightly hoarse, carried a comforting tone. "This is a lucky coin. With it, you'll be blessed with safety and smooth sailing, and you won't be scammed again."
Jiang Yuqiu instinctively tightened his grip on the coin, his eyes welling up once more. He looked at Yu Zhi with sincere hope, "Really?"
His eyes were full of longing, reflecting how much he wished for such protection. Or perhaps, how desperately he wanted to be seen as better in Yu Zhi's eyes.
Yu Zhi reached out to smooth Jiang Yuqiu's tousled hair. "Of course, I never lie."
Jiang Yuqiu clutched the coin in his hand with hopeful eyes, clearly wanting to keep it safe.
He finally stopped thinking about crying.
The hospital had quieted down a bit in the afternoon, but there were still many people silently observing on this floor.
Seeing Yu Zhi, clearly a familiar face, come to Jiang Yuqiu's side, many people felt reassured and quietly left.
Yu Zhi gently asked, "It's getting late. Shall we go home?"
They were originally planning to visit the Chinese medicine clinic, but now Jiang Yuqiu might have forgotten about it, making the visit less urgent.
"But..."
Jiang Yuqiu hesitated, "But... weren't we supposed to see a doctor?"
Yu Zhi smiled helplessly, "You're right, we should see the doctor before heading back."
It seemed that Jiang Yuqiu had even forgotten about their earlier visit to see a doctor.
But in a way, it might be better for him not to know the specifics of his condition or that the illness couldn't be cured.
