Therefore, Song Beiyu was the one who appeared by the Weiran River and met Lin Yiyun late at night.

How old is he this year?

Tang Li was completely unprepared; she thought Song Beiyu was quite young and probably still in school.

"At twenty-one, he should have been a junior in college, but he dropped out after only half a year."

"Because of illness?"

Tang Li looked at the news photos on Jiang Mian's phone. They only said that Song Beiyu was hospitalized in Youcheng, but didn't say what illness he had.

Stomach cancer.

Jiang Mian said softly.

"The news was written by my alumnus, but this issue was quickly recalled. Later I learned that Song Bei had stomach cancer. Nantan and Beiyou are the two cities in our country with the highest concentration of medical authorities."

But he flew from Youcheng to Tanzhou all by himself.

"He doesn't seem to be here for treatment," Tang Li analyzed.

Jiang Mian nodded:

"Because he already has late-stage stomach cancer, the doctor has told his family that he only has six months to a year to live."

Only 21 years old and already diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer?

Tang Li simply couldn't believe it.

"I ran into the two brothers at the mall. Song Beiyu looked to be in good condition, not like someone who was sick. Could it be a misdiagnosis or something?"

Although Tang Li disliked Song Beiye very much, she could even describe it as hate.

But Song Beiyu's smile is really cute.

He has the feel of a younger brother next door.

"Madam, his favorite celebrity is Eason Lin."

Jiang Mian scrolled through the pages: "The alumnus followed his Weibo account. His last update was six months ago, and it only had six characters."

Wait for me to come back alive.

On Weibo, he only follows Lin Yiyun.

When Tang Li opened her phone and found him, she was surprised to discover:

"Lin Yiyun and he followed each other on social media."

Jiang Mian, an alumnus, recently followed Song Beiyu, though they hadn't followed each other back then.

"It seems they've already met. But I'm a little curious. Knowing Lin Yiyun as I do, she wouldn't meet a fanatical fan in private."

At least Lin Yiyun never gave him a kind look.

Even though he was the closest person to Huo Chenyu.

Tang Li, however, keenly sensed:

“We were misled by Song Beiye. He may really just be in Tanzhou looking for his younger brother.”

Jiang Mian doesn't understand:

"What does Madam mean?"

“Go and investigate the whole process of Song Beiyu’s pursuit of celebrities, and tell me as soon as you find out.”

If Song Beiyu really wanted to be a fan, given Song Beiye's doting on him, there would have been no need to wait until now, much less let him travel all the way to Tanzhou in his frail health.

Therefore, Tang Li had a premonition that this was not just about idol worship.

It's late at night, the perfect time for a late-night snack.

Huo Chenyu and his brother have not returned yet.

Tang Li checked the time; it was still early.

So he said to Jiang Mian

"I need to go out for a bit, can you take me?"

Why are you going out so late at night?

"Madam, should we wait until the eldest son returns before discussing this?" Jiang Mian asked with some concern, as Madam was still pregnant.

Tang Li had already called Yunxi:

"Sister Xi, please order a table full of barbecue for me. I'll be there in about half an hour. Then please post it on your WeChat Moments to let people know that I'm coming to your place."

Yunxi added Song Beiye on WeChat, making it incredibly easy for her to hook him.

After leaving the house, I crossed two intersections.

Jiang Mian turned right.

They just missed Huo Chenyu, who was turning left.

Ruoxia Winery.

Song Beiye arrived first.

Sure enough, he brought his younger brother, Song Beiyu, with him.

He had just sat down when he saw Tang Li, and immediately stood up again:

"What a coincidence, Miss Tang. It seems that our fate is unstoppable."

Tang Li feigned displeasure:

"You were following me?"

Song Beiye raised his eyebrows:

"It seems I arrived first? Speaking of stalking, Miss Tang is more suspicious."

Yunxi brought out some wine and freshly squeezed juice, smiling as she tried to smooth things over:

"Forget about being followed or not. Everyone who comes here is family. Come, come, since we all know each other, let's all sit down. You all sit first, and I'll go cut a big watermelon. That watermelon is really heavy; it's hard to carry it back."

Song Beiyu immediately stood up and said:

"Sister, let me help you."

Yunxi patted his head:

"What a well-behaved little brother, so delicate and cute. How could I bear to let you do any work? You sit down, I can manage."

Fearing his younger brother would show off, Song Beiye stood up:

"Boss lady, let me cut the watermelon for you."

Yunxi gave Tang Li a look; the two sisters were becoming more and more in sync.

In the small courtyard outside the gate, Tang Li looked at the table full of delicious food and called out:

"Little brother, please help yourself to whatever you like to eat. Don't be shy or reserved. Is this your first time in Tanzhou?"

Seeing Song Beiyu staring at the plate of stinky tofu on the table, Tang Li handed it to him:

"This is a local specialty of Tanzhou. It smells bad, but it tastes delicious. You can try it, little brother."

Song Beiyu picked up a piece with his chopsticks, carefully tasted it, and nodded with delight:

"This tastes better than the food court's, sister-in-law. I've been in Tanzhou for several days and haven't had such authentic stinky tofu. But thankfully, I met the person I've been wanting to see last night."

Tang Li feigned surprise and asked:

"How old are you, and you're already dating?"

Song Beiyu blushed and shook his head repeatedly:

"No, no, sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. I did meet someone I like, but I'm not in a relationship. And the liking isn't the romantic kind."
