He wasn't sure if what July said was true, so he wouldn't say it.

Having something to look forward to in life makes me much happier.

Li Shuan figured that Gu Qiuning had already arrived and would definitely eat before going back, so he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought pork and beef, as well as half a pound of cake.

Gu Qiuning loved sweets, and he always remembered that.

Back home, Li Shuan cooked in the kitchen.

He lives in a small detached house with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom.

Gu Qiuning couldn't cook, so she sat on a stool and watched Li Shuan cook earnestly.

A strange bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.

In fact, they can face the future together.

She also knew that Li Shuan had feelings for her, and that his inferiority complex was why he refused to be with her.

After finishing cooking, the two of them ate in silence without saying a word.

After dinner, Li Shuan went to wash the dishes. Gu Qiuning offered to help, but he refused.

Gu Qiuning was in the living room, staring blankly at the water glass. She took out a packet of medicine powder from her pocket, hesitating whether to use it or not.

I told her in my heart that if she missed this opportunity, she might never have another chance.

Without further hesitation, Gu Qiuning poured the powder into a glass of water and then added water to it.

Then he put the paper containing the medicine back into his pocket.

It was the first time she had done something so sordid, and she was both nervous and scared.

But for her own happiness, she risked her entire life.

She took her water glass and went to the kitchen door, just as Li Shuan came out.

"Brother Li, have some water." As she spoke, she tried her best to let Li Shuan see her panic.

Li Shuan watched her pour him water, "Thank you!" He took it and gulped it down.

Then he turned around and went into the kitchen to wash the water glass.

When they came out, Gu Qiuning looked like she had done something wrong. Li Shuan said, "Have some fruit first, and I'll take you home later."

"good."
