Lin Xi's home is a bit far from the University, as they are located in the city center. Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Mumu have been there before and are quite familiar with her family.
Her father is a doctor, and her mother works at the telecommunications bureau, although they are not very clear about her specific role. The family is not considered wealthy in the city, but they live a harmonious life together.
During the summer vacation of their sophomore year, Xia Xiaoyu had visited Lin Xi's home once and stayed for a few days. She even felt a bit envious of Lin Xi because at least her parents were there by her side.
After leaving the University, everyone hurriedly took a taxi straight to Lin Xi's house.
Around three in the afternoon, they arrived at Lin Xi's home. Due to the suddenness of the situation and Lin Xi's mother's inability to accept the reality, Xia Xiaoyu and the others were able to see Lin Xi for the last time.
When they saw Lin Xi's current appearance, everyone was shocked because she looked completely different.
Her face was frighteningly pale, devoid of any color, completely ghostly white. Her once full eyes had sunk deep into their sockets, surrounded by dark circles. Her hair was disheveled, as if she had suffered immense mental torment.
In just a few days, her body had become emaciated, starkly contrasting with the Lin Xi they had seen just days before. She had changed completely.
So thin and frail that she seemed unable to withstand even the slightest pressure?
Xia Xiaoyu and the others were simultaneously stunned. Looking at Lin Xi's current state and recalling that lively and adorable girl from a short while ago made it hard for them to accept!
She lay there lifelessly on the bed. Aside from her extreme thinness and pale face, it was impossible to tell what expression she had when she left this world.
Everyone fell silent, staring at the frail and haggard face. For a moment, it was hard for everyone to accept the reality before them.
Lin Xi's Mother did not cry out loud; perhaps she had already been crying for a long time. She simply gazed quietly at her daughter, not even understanding why someone who seemed perfectly fine had left her so suddenly.
With swollen red eyes from crying, she quietly watched her daughter lying on the bed.
Xia Xiaoyu and a few others didn't know what to say or how to comfort her, as they felt just as heartbroken inside.
"Auntie, please don't be sad. Xiao Xi wouldn't want to see you like this!"
Xia Xiaoyu's eyes were also slightly moist as she thought back to the times she spent with Lin Xi in high school. They used to play around together, and just a few days ago, they had been having fun. It was unimaginable that a life could be so abruptly taken away from them.
This stark contrast made it hard for them to believe.
"…"
Lin Xi's Mother remained silent, but mentioning Lin Xi seemed to bring tears to her eyes again; every parent's heart is heavy with sorrow.
They worked hard outside only to create a harmonious family, and Lin Xi was undoubtedly the spiritual sustenance of the family. Now that she had suddenly passed away, it was easy to imagine how devastated her mother must be.
Xia Xiaoyu and the others maintained their silence, understanding Lin Xi's Mother's feelings at that moment. They rationally chose to remain quiet.
More and more relatives arrived at Lin Xi's home to pay their respects. From their expressions, it was clear they were all filled with sorrow. The entire room was enveloped in grief.
Later, people from the hospital came to take away Lin Xi. They probably needed to conduct tests to determine the cause of her death, as it was quite strange. It was necessary for them to investigate whether Lin Xi had contracted some unknown illness or ingested something harmful.
There were many possibilities, as this was not a normal death, and no one could accept it. A healthy person had passed away in just a few days, which was unusual, so it was essential to clarify the exact reason behind it.
Xia Xiaoyu and the others saw Lin Xi being taken away and naturally understood that there was no need for them to stay here any longer.
