Chapter 137 : The Dim Future

That night, He Jin went to the high-speed rail station with his dad. In September, it was already getting cold. He Jin recalled that there were still clothes for change at home, he didn’t return to the apartment which he and Qin Yang were renting. Instead, he only called Qin Yang before leaving.

After Qin Yang signed the contract with the entertainment company, he received several jobs in print advertisement. Those days, he was busy shooting and he had taken a few days off from school. He wasn’t home yet. When knowing that He Jin was returning to Q city, he became nervous instantly, “why do you need to go back? What’s happened?”

“My mom is not doing well, and my dad came to look for me.” He Jin didn’t want Qin Yang to worry, and that’s the only thing he had mentioned. When he called, he was already at the high-speed rail station. His dad was smoking not far away, He Jin spoke as softly as he could, as he didn’t want his dad to overhear his conversation.

Qin Yang didn’t have a good impression to the “mother-in-law”, who threw He Jin’s helmet and left so many scars to He Jin. Subconsciously, he’s also worried about this big BOSS jeopardizing his relationship with He Jin. He couldn’t help but ask, “not doing well? Is she simply lying?”

He Jin was a bit angry, “Qin Yang! This kind of matter cannot be taken as a joke!”

He was already super confused, and Qin Yang even said this…

Hearing He Jin’s tone, Qin Yang realized that he’d said something wrong. He apologized hurriedly, “I’m sorry, I’m just worried of you being hurt again.”

He Jin sighed. Before knowing the actual situation, he wasn’t really in the mood to explain it to Qin Yang.

“When are you coming back?” This is what Qin Yang cared the most. At the moment, he’s so occupied now that he couldn’t leave for a moment. Otherwise, he’d certainly accompany He Jin this time.

“I think it’ll only be a day or two. I’m only going to see how my mom is doing, and after I’m back, I still have classes for about two months, and I have to choose the theme of my thesis, I can’t skip classes for that long. Don’t worry.”

As long as he would return, it’s fine. Qin Yang felt as if his heart was sinking to the bottom. He couldn’t tell exactly what he’s worried about. Perhaps, after “being dumped” nine years ago, he’s always been scared of having the same happen on him again, “so, remember, no matter what, call me first. If Auntie needs to see a doctor or anything, pick the best hospital and the best doctor. Don’t worry about money, you’ve got me.”

This successfully comforted He Jin, and it made him feel warm too. He replied, “okay.” Then, after seeing his father looking at his direction while smoking, he immediately hung up.

After the two met again, they went silent. He Jin’s father was happy to see that He Jin was willing to cooperate, but since that moment, He Jin hadn’t mentioned the boy’s name again, this had made his father angry and he really didn’t get it.

“Did you…just call the boy?” He asked softly.

He Jin replied with “hmm”, since his father knew, it was no longer necessary to hide.

He father breathed out the smoke, then smashed the cigarette. He said with his sad face, “He Jin, I can try to understand you for anything. But for this, my answer is no.”

His father looked as if he’s the right one, and He Jin felt really sad.

Indeed, what happened in the past was shocking and frightening, and his mother’s illness was understandable, but He Jin still hadn’t realized what depression could do to a person, he’d always just thought that it’s merely an emotional issue. He still thought that once he apologized, and once he tried to reconcile and to take care of his mother, then everything would improve.
