那天晚上……我妈突然做急诊手术,脑出血。我姐给我打电话的时候,我已经在去医院找张凯的路上了。我当场就懵了,脑子一片空白,就直接冲去了火车站,手机没电了,充电宝也没带在身上。我一路上都在想张凯,但是到了老家医院,手术室外面全是我姐和我爸,谁都联系不上我。等我第二天赶回学校,听说张凯做完手术了,我心里其实……特别愧疚。我不知道该怎么解释,因为解释听起来就像找借口。所以我什么都没说,就一直躲着这件事,躲了十年。
That night... my mom suddenly had emergency surgery, a cerebral hemorrhage. When my sister called me, I was already on my way to find Zhang Kai. I was stunned on the spot, my mind went blank, and I just rushed to the train station. My phone ran out of battery, and I didn't bring a power bank. I was thinking about Zhang Kai the whole way. But when I got to the hospital in my hometown, outside the operating room were my sister and my dad. No one could reach me. When I got back to school the next day, I heard Zhang Kai had finished surgery. Honestly... I felt extremely guilty. I didn't know how to explain, because any explanation would sound like an excuse. So I said nothing and just avoided the issue, hiding from it for ten years.

I'll talk it over with his younger cousin and help him sort out the money he owes. That's good. When the family's together, things can always be worked out. By the way, keep the number you're using now. Let's just… let's just say we've made another friend.
