The intermittent silence was slightly awkward, so Qin Zhi'ai broke it by asking, "Why are you in the hospital?"
Qin Zhi'ai hadn't noticed that Gu Yusheng didn't look well until she asked the question.
As he paused, she slightly frowned and was working up the courage to ask him if was sick, but he finally offered an answer before she could ask that question. "I'm visiting a friend," he stated.
His response made her questions about his wellness counterintuitive, so she responded, "I see."
Knowing that she was going to be an exchange student overseas, he steered the conversation to her mention of customs. "Did you get all your paperwork ready for customs?"
"Close. I'm waiting for the visa. I'm expecting it by next Monday," Qin Zhi'ai replied.
"Okay," Gu Yusheng paused a bit and asked, "When are you leaving exactly?"
"On the 29th," Qin Zhi'ai answered.
Today was twentieth. She only got less than ten days left.
