Final Chapter
"Yitong, you mentioned last time that Gu Pan can only get leave on Tuesdays, right?" "Yes, the internship is very strict. On Tuesday mornings, he takes a half-day bus ride, arrives at noon, spends an hour or so with his mom in the afternoon, and then takes the bus back. It's quite a hassle, but he says since his mom is sick, it's his duty to come back, check on her, and help out. He can't shirk that responsibility." "Got it. Thank you." Ling Hanlu then opened her class schedule. Her fingers moved back and forth across the chart. "Tues…day…" This particular Tuesday seemed to crawl by like a tortoise. At noon, Ling Hanlu politely declined Xu Shuping's invitation for soup, heading home instead to prepare for the afternoon trip. In front of the full-length mirror, she was torn between a camel long coat and a black fitted down jacket. Picking one up, then putting it down, trying them on and taking them off again. After several frowns, close inspections, and gentle touches, she finally chose the camel coat for its softer, smoother feel, which better matched her mood. In the corner of her shoe cabinet, two pairs of winter ankle boots awaited her decision. One pair had heels, the other was flat. She stepped into the heels to accentuate the height difference. Once ready, Ling Hanlu slung her bag over her shoulder and set off. Worried that taking the bus might take too long, she called a ride-hailing car. She wanted everything to go perfectly. She couldn't set a trap, but with each passing moment of the journey, she silently prayed—this tall bunny must come crash into my tree just like the saying goes: waiting for a rabbit by the tree stump! 2 On one side of the psychiatric hospital's
