Luo Youhan nodded, gazing intently at Dou Shiliu. She reached out and untied her pigtails, then sat down in front of the dressing table.

A hint of regret flashed in his eyes. He really liked the way Mu Yingying looked with her hair in pigtails. After untying his hair, Dou Shiliu looked up and stood up. "Let's go. Thank you for today. Stay for dinner."

"good"

Luo Youhan did not refuse. He and Dou Shiliu went downstairs together. Although Mo Wuwang was staring blankly at the computer on the sofa, his mind was on it, paying attention to the movements of Dou Shiliu and Luo Youhan, watching the two of them chatting and laughing together.

"Ahem," Mo Wuwang coughed dramatically as he put away his computer, knowing the boy was too close to his wife, Mu Yingying.

Mo Wuwang pulled Mu Yingying aside and said, "Mu Yingying, go check if Aunt Zhang has finished cooking. I want to have a chat with your classmate."

Dou Shiliu's eyes flickered slightly. Mo Wuwang smiled at her, and Dou Shiliu looked away, nodded, and turned to go to the kitchen.

Luo Youhan noticed Mo Wuwang looking at him and lowered his eyes, saying, "Hello, Uncle."

Mo Wuwang smiled and said, "You like my Yingying?"

The man's youthful appearance made Luo Youhan feel like he was stealing someone's girlfriend. Luo Youhan suppressed his strange feelings and said calmly, "No, we're just ordinary classmates, but Mu Yingying is very cute."

Mo Wuwang: "..."

Isn't this just a way of trying to woo Yingying?

“I know about the budding romance that happens at your age, but you’re about to enter your senior year of high school. I hope you won’t bother my daughter, Mu Yingying. She needs to focus on her studies.”

Luo Youhan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said indifferently, "Oh."

Mo Wuwang glanced at the kitchen, and when Mu Yingying came over, he didn't say anything more.

Dou Shiliu came out and sensed the somewhat confused atmosphere between them. He looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression and said, "Wash your hands and eat."

After dinner, Luo Youhan said goodbye, while Dou Shiliu went to remove her makeup, take a shower, and then opened the game she hadn't logged into in a long time.

The last time Xie Yaoguan mentioned that it had updated to include a marriage feature, Dou Shiliu, controlling his character, started relentlessly killing monsters.

Dou Shiliu felt that she had a pretty good grasp of the game, but she didn't know if it was because of the host, but she kept dying and dying, and she couldn't even kill the mini-boss. She was so angry that she almost smashed her keyboard.

With the system's mocking laughter ringing in his ears, Dou Shiliu was having an extremely bad headache as he watched his character die again.

"Oh shit!"

Dou Shiliu cursed and was about to shut down his computer when he suddenly received an invitation from nearby to play a game together. Dou Shiliu originally wanted to refuse, but he accidentally clicked "accept".

Dou Shiliu was instantly drawn in and had no choice but to play along. After a few rounds, Dou Shiliu realized that this person was exceptionally skilled and completely at the mercy of her superior.

The frustration in his heart lessened a bit, and he played game after game with that guy named Mo Shangren. Dou Shiliu smoothly made it into the top fifty of the rankings.

The stranger was ranked number one on the leaderboard, so Dou Shiliu had met a master. Dou Shiliu watched the stranger download the game with a smug look on his face, then played a round himself. Of course, he lost, so he simply stopped playing and sent the stranger a friend request.

The other party did not agree, but Dou Shiliu didn't care. He played for a while, then logged off and went to sleep.

The next day, on the way to school, Mo Wuwang didn't have breakfast with him. He was probably busy again. Since the last time he confessed his feelings to him, Mo Wuwang hasn't been staying home much.

Dou Shiliu ate one sandwich and then lost his appetite, so he turned and left.

The driver dropped her off at the school gate as usual. Dou Shiliu yawned as she went into the school. Strangely enough, ever since she returned from the telescope banquet, Xie Yaoguan hadn't contacted her again. Dou Shiliu had tried calling, but no one answered, so she simply forgot about it.

Upon arriving in the classroom, Dou Shiliu glanced at Xie Yaoguan's seat but didn't notice her. It wasn't until after the morning class ended and Xie Yaoguan still hadn't arrived that Dou Shiliu went to ask the homeroom teacher, puzzled.

The homeroom teacher, without looking up, said while tidying up the files, "She was in a car accident and has to drop out of school."

Dou Shiliu's eyes widened in surprise. "When?"

The homeroom teacher shook his head: "It'll be this Sunday."

Dou Shiliu nodded blankly, then turned around and went back to the classroom. After finishing the morning classes, Dou Shiliu picked up his schoolbag and rushed to Xie Yaoguan's hospital.

"When was Xie Yaoguan hit by a car?"

Dou Shiliu pulled his coat tighter and hailed a taxi at random. "Which hospital?"

The system gave Dou Shiliu the address and explained that Xie Yaoguan was hit in the area near Wang Yi's house. Dou Shiliu suddenly remembered that Mo Wuwang had said there had been a car accident ahead, blocking the main road and making it difficult for cars to get in.

Dou Shiliu's eyes were glazed over; it turned out that Xie Yaoguan and Chu Cili had been in a car accident...

Upon arriving at the hospital, Dou Shiliu paid the bill and turned to enter. At the nurses' station, he saw a familiar figure from behind—tall and broad-shouldered.

"Chu Ci Li!"

Dou Shiliu strode over and grabbed Chu Cili's arm. "Where's Xie Yaoguan?"

Chu Ci frowned slightly in pain, and Dou Shiliu then noticed that his arm was bandaged: "Sorry, I got a little excited."

Chu Ci shook his head, took the payment slip from the nurse, and said in a low voice, "Let's go," before turning and leaving with Dou Shiliu following behind.

Pushing open the ward door, Dou Shiliu saw Xie Yaoguan wrapped up like a mummy, her eyes still unusually swollen. She was completely without makeup and had a pale face.

Dou Shiliu felt a pang of disappointment. He walked over, his eyes lowered, and his lips barely moved. "How do you drive?"

Chu Ci remained silent, then said, "I'm sorry."

He didn't expect a truck to come straight at them around the corner. It took him a lot of effort to swerve the truck to the side, but Xie Yaoguan, for some unknown reason, hugged him and shielded him from a lot of damage.

Chu Cili looked at Xie Yaoguan lying on the bed, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

Dou Shiliu touched Xie Yaoguan's arm, which also had many abrasions. This silly girl would probably faint from the pain.

"What did the doctor say?"

Intracranial hemorrhage

Dou Shiliu twitched her fingers slightly and turned her head: "You've had surgery?"

Chu Ci nodded, and Dou Shiliu asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Chu Cili took out a familiar card from his pocket. It was the card that Luo Youhan had given to Xie Yaoguan. Dou Shiliu nodded.

“Okay, I hope you recover well these days, and then take good care of Xie Yaoguan. Also,” Dou Shiliu stared indifferently at Luo Youhan, “I’m telling you, Xie Yaoguan is protecting you, and you have to protect her too.”
