Su Yuan was punched and sent to the hospital.

Gu Qiuning linked arms with Li Shuan, while Li Xiaoxiao looked at the bespectacled older brother with curiosity.

She scratched her head and looked up at her older brother with a very serious expression.

The older sister's expression showed worry and sadness.

The elder sister-in-law's expression was the same as her elder sister's.

She walked over to her sister-in-law, Gu Qiuning, and reached out to restrain her.

"Sweetie, I'll take you home in a bit," Gu Qiuning said, pulling Li Xiaoxiao along.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sleepy. Gu's father and mother told me to go home early because I have to go to school tomorrow." Li Xiaoxiao felt very tired. The corridors in the hospital were cold and deserted.

Gu Qiuning looked at Li Shuan and said, "Let's go, let's take Xiaoxiao back and let them handle it themselves."

Since it's all a misunderstanding, there's no need for them to get involved.

Although Li Shuan was worried about Li Xia, he believed that these were things the two of them should handle themselves.

"You guys go back, I can handle this," Li Xia said, looking up at Li Shuan.

Li Shuan left reluctantly.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Qiuning noticed that Li Shuan's complexion was not good and asked in a low voice, "What did he do to offend Li Xia?"

Li Shuan blinked and slowly said, "No, it's just that Li Xia liked him before, but he rejected her."

"But judging from his expression, he seems to really like Li Xia."

Gu Qiuning could tell that the man liked Li Xia.

Li Shuan remained silent.

He looked down, took Li Xiaoxiao's other hand, and sighed, "I hope so!"

This man has been found after many years; it's unknown whether Li Xia is still mentally sound.

But his older brother probably understood that it was all over.

His sister was going to leave with that man, leaving her hometown behind.

In the hospital, Su Yuan's lip and half of his face were swollen from the punch.

Looking at his disheveled appearance, Li Xia felt both guilty and worried.

More than anything, it seemed she was about to lose control.

Li Xia tried hard to suppress her laughter.

When Su Yuan saw her smile, his heart, which had been killed, was rekindled.

"Is it that funny?" Su Yuan was infected by her laughter and asked Li Xia while laughing himself.

Li Xia nodded apologetically, lowering her head and not daring to look directly at his face.

Even his glasses were smashed.

When the nurse came to apply medicine to reduce the swelling, she saw that even Su Yuan's gums were swollen.

In her mind, she couldn't help but think, "Who's so ruthless? Could it be someone who got beaten up for being a pervert?"

After the medicine was applied, Li Xia took him away from the hospital.

As they passed the guesthouse, Li Xia looked at him and said, "Why don't you stay at the guesthouse?"

"But I don't have proof, so I can't stay here." Su Yuan actually did have proof, but he wanted to give it a try.

Li Xia looked at him with some doubt, and when she saw the injury on his face, she sighed helplessly!

"Okay." Li Xia's room was an old two-bedroom apartment. The factory had given her two quilts last time it was cold.

When Su Yuan brought it home, he immediately noticed that although the furnishings were simple and unpretentious, they were very cozy.

Her study notes and books from the day were still on her desk and sofa.

Li Xia put away the books, placed her bag on the sofa, opened the second bedroom door, and took out a quilt and blanket to spread out on the sofa.

Su Yuan glanced around. The master bedroom was opposite, and he could see Li Xia's pink and girlish room at a glance. Her temperament hadn't changed at all.

Standing at the door, he watched Li Xia bend down with her back to him, tidying up his room, just like before.

Su Yuan slowly walked in and stood behind Li Xia.

Li Xia stood up, and the moment she turned around, she bumped directly into his arms.

"Be careful." Su Yuan reached out and hugged Li Xia's waist.

He noticed a faint, pleasant fragrance emanating from Li Xia.

"You smell so good!" That scent was incredibly alluring to her.

He didn't dare to make any big moves; he was already very content to be able to get this close to her.

Li Xia wasn't offended by Su Yuan's closeness, but she felt uncomfortable being hugged like that and pushed him away.

"You can sleep here." After leaving the room, Li Xia returned to her own room and closed the door.

I slowly breathed a sigh of relief; it turns out I really can be shy.

Even after all these years, she still gets shy when Su Yuan gets close.

It felt like she was back to how she used to ask him questions every time she got out of school.

Su Yuan would also patiently teach her the lessons she didn't understand, teach her English, and teach her other languages.

Over the years, she has been studying hard, but she has never dared to study in front of outsiders for fear of being criticized.

He would close the door and study quietly.

She opened the cabinet and looked at the treasured items inside, which were gifts Su Yuan had given her years ago: a notebook and a fountain pen.

I took out the book and looked at the words written on it, along with the broken fountain pen.

Su Yuan's sudden appearance left her feeling somewhat lost, resentful, and angry.

Actually, she also had a lot to say to him.

She had been unwilling to get married all these years, all for Su Yuan's sake.

Last time, she was forced into a corner, and if it weren't for Brother Lan and Lin Qiyue, she might have really married that gambler.

At that time, Li Xia felt that her life was over and she had lost everything.

When Su Yuan arrived, he stood at the doorway of the room, looking in the direction of Li Xia's room.

He smiled slightly, relieved. At least Li Xia hadn't rejected him, which meant there was still a chance.

This time, Su Yuan will definitely seize the opportunity.

The next day, Li Xia got up and saw Su Yuan cooking in the kitchen.

Because of space constraints, the kitchen was built in the yard and covered with a sheet of metal, so it could be seen from the living room.
