"I'm not teasing you anymore, but you can't let go of someone you like, lest someone else beats you to it."

When his colleague shared his experience with him, Shen Xingmian hesitated for a moment. He quickly followed suit, thinking about the discussion and jokes of the people behind him on the bus earlier that day, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

And then there's Gu Ying, who actually said he wanted Qin Yi to be his brother-in-law, which is really infuriating.

On the other side, the four of them had almost finished eating, so it was time to call it a day.

Nan Zhi asked the driver to take Qin Yi and Wu Ke home. It was already past seven o'clock, and Shen Xingmian should still be working at this time.

He reached out and patted Gu Ying's head. "Ying, do you want to go pick up Shen Xingmian?"

A glint flashed in Gu Ying's eyes, and she nodded, "That's a good idea. Let's give Brother Xingmian a surprise."

Nanzhi thought it was feasible, so the car arrived at the Yipin Pavilion parking lot.

Shen Xingmian usually gets off work at nine o'clock, and he is currently busy in the store.

Feeling bored, Nan Zhi asked Gu Ying to push her around outside for a while.

Gu Ying was obedient and pushed Nan Zhi along the road. The weather was a bit cold at this time, so Gu Ying took out a spare blanket from the car and covered Nan Zhi with it, which warmed Nan Zhi's heart and made her feel amused.

"Aying, you'll be fourteen by Chinese New Year, right?"

Gu Ying nodded, "Yes, I'll be fourteen soon."

Nan Zhi laughed: "That's right, Sister Xi Xi is almost seventeen years old too."

So far, she hasn't experienced any physical discomfort, but her illness is congenital, causing organ failure. She doesn't know how many years she can live. She hopes to spend these years with Gu Ying and Shen Xingmian. Perhaps they will return to the book soon, which would be best, and then she wouldn't be afraid.
