"She'll be even more worried to see me like this. It's better if I don't go back." (TL Note: I don't get this logic. But it's possible the author meant he would bring back more trouble)

"But you don't know what she thinks, do you? Maybe she doesn't care about all that. This is just an injury, I don't think she'd care even if you lost a leg. She loves you so much…"

"But I don't want to be the kind of man who has to hold onto a cane while carrying the woman he loves."

"You sure are selfish… you shouldn't be making these decisions for my sister. But honestly, I think there's another reason why you're not back in C City yet. You're investigating Huo Siqian's study abroad in Germany, right?"

"Yes," Qin Chu admitted.

"What a coincidence, I'm looking into this matter again and found something interesting. Do you want to share intel?" Lu Yan asked.
