Quan Jin mocked himself, important person...
Important people would never look for him.
Probably would never look for him in this lifeti.
Quan Jin calmly drank tea: "It doesn’t matter."
Tu Kuan asked: "Aren’t you going to take a look?"
"If I do look, I might not be able to let go of things over there. Would you still want to check then?" Quan Jin chuckled lightly.
No one could call his phone from the outside, so Tu Kuan was lying to him.
There were no calls.
Tu Kuan imdiately agreed: "Then it’s better if you don’t look. Stay here and receive treatnt properly; your body is too weak to handle more stress. Otherwise, you might not make it. Extending your life is the most important thing for you now."
Tu Kuan wasn’t trying to scare Quan Jin.
And Quan Jin also knew that every word Tu Kuan said was true.
He didn’t have much ti left.
He could count his remaining days on his fingers.
He hadn’t finished his tea. He poured it back into the teapot and stood up: "Terrible taste, play chess with ."
"Alright, let’s go." For once, Quan Jin was so cooperative, Tu Kuan didn’t complain and agreed to play an endlessly boring ga of Gomoku with him.
The Gomoku ga ended quickly, but they blocked each other’s pieces to prolong the ga.
Tu Kuan asked about Quan Jin’s condition today, and Quan Jin answered one by one. When Tu Kuan asked: "Why aren’t you looking in the mirror today?"
Quan Jin placed the white stone: "I looked in the morning, it’s okay."
Tu Kuan: "Couldn’t sleep again last night?"
"Yes," Quan Jin admitted.
"Didn’t sleep at all?"
"Slept for two hours."
Tu Kuan remained silent for a few minutes.
At this mont, Tu Kuan’s phone rang, breaking the silence, and Quan Jin reminded him: "Your work is calling."
Tu Kuan snapped back: "What?"
Quan Jin smirked: "Your phone is ringing."
"Oh... I thought it was your phone." Tu Kuan said as he fumbled with his phone, looking at the caller ID.
Then Quan Jin told the truth: "I’ve set up software on my phone, so no one can reach ."
After speaking, Quan Jin fiddled with the white stone, thinking about how to block Tu Kuan’s moves.
Before Tu Kuan went to answer the call, he chuckled: "Didn’t soone just call you? Honestly, you didn’t think I was lying, did you? Soone did call you."
After saying that, Tu Kuan went aside to take the call.
Quan Jin looked indifferent, montarily contemplating how to block Tu Kuan’s black stones, his hand holding a piece hovering mid-air.
Suddenly—
The piece inexplicably slipped from his hand, disrupting the orderly ga board.
Only one person could get through to him—that was Gu Yuan.
But he hadn’t dared hope that Gu Yuan would ever call him during this ti.
He suddenly stood up and dashed out.
Tu Kuan, who was on the phone, was startled by Quan Jin’s sudden outburst, and shouted toward his retreating back: "Where are you going?"
No response ca.
Fearing sothing had gone wrong, Tu Kuan hurriedly apologized to the person on the other end and rushed after him.
In the courtyard under the atrium, Quan Jin’s phone lay quietly on the jade-engraved table. Tu Kuan had placed it there earlier, and Quan Jin hadn’t glanced at it.
Now, he rushed over and urgently picked up the phone.
There were two missed calls indicated by the red dot on the screen.
Quan Jin was about to check them.
At that mont, the phone suddenly started buzzing in his palm.
A call was coming in.
Quan Jin’s fingertips trembled slightly as he saw the na of the caller on the screen—Gu Yuan...
The wind around him seed to quiet down, and the world beca blank.
—He had just picked up the phone.
—She had just happened to call.
