The room was quiet. This was the first time Lin Yilin had spoken with Su Muzhi like this.
She had originally thought that tonight, Su Muzhi would wound her all over with sharp, vicious words, leaving her to curl up under the covers and secretly wipe away her tears alone.
It was hard to imagine that Senior Sister Su, who always wore a smile and liked making fun of others, had this side to her as well.
"Senior, what about him? Does he know?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yilin asked again.
"He knows. I never intended to hide it from him. Just like him, he never hides anything from me."
Su Muzhi lay on the bed with her eyes narrowed, her voice carrying a hint of ease.
"If treatment is given in time, can't it get better?"
"If it could, my parents would have acted much sooner."
"Oh..."
Looking at Su Muzhi's youthful face on the bed, Lin Yilin found it hard to imagine that someone barely over twenty had already begun thinking about death.
When exactly was the "old age" Senior Sister Su spoke of?
Ten years from now? Thirty years from now?
Was this what they meant by beauty dying young?
"Then... what exactly do you mean, Senior Sister?"
"You don't need to worry about me. Just be bold and stay with him."
"But Senior has you in his heart, doesn't he?"
"That's right. You're the fake girlfriend, and I'm the real girlfriend!"
Su Muzhi turned her head, raising her brows as she looked at Lin Yilin.
"Don't joke around at a time like this!"
Lin Yilin was a little angry. She wanted to secretly hit Su Muzhi with a pillow, but she did not have the courage.
"Heh. Leave that sort of thing to him.
