Before the Lunar New Year was even over, news came from the hospital that the old man was dying.

He was very old, so passing away at this time is, in a sense, a happy occasion.

After all, when people get old, dignity becomes insignificant in the face of survival. They lose their consciousness and are no different from walking corpses.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Tian quickly went to the hospital with Lu Xiangnan to make arrangements for the elderly man's funeral.

He had no children and only Jiang Tian as a relative, so his funeral was very simple.

Lu Xiangnan was worried about Jiang Tian and stayed by her side the whole time.

Jiang Tian remained calm throughout, and she was no different from usual until the funeral ended.

Lu Xiangnan knew very well that it was just a facade of calm.

Until one day, while she was packing her things, she saw the costume she had worn as a child and suddenly burst into tears.

Lu Xiangnan could do nothing else but hold her and tell her over and over again, "I will stay with you, I will always stay with you..."

Time can heal many wounds, and life will always return to normal.

One day, when Lu Xiangnan woke up, Jiang Tian stared at his back and asked him, "When are you leaving?"

Lu Xiangnan stopped putting on his clothes.

There are only a few days left until the two-month mark.

But he didn't want to leave.

Lu Xiangnan turned his head, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Jiang Tian, ​​and his tone unconsciously revealed a pleading tone: "Can I not leave?"

Jiang Tian's expression was actually very gentle, but she cruelly shook her head.

"Xiao Nan, we agreed before that we would date for two months, and then you would go back."

Lu Xiangnan felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, and he silently began to explain his plan.

“During this time, I noticed that there are very few internet cafes around here, so I can open one. My mother left me a piece of jade, and she told me that if we ever run into financial difficulties, I can sell it. I can use this money as seed money to open an internet cafe first, and then gradually expand into other areas. We can become rich very quickly.”

In fact, Lu Xiangnan didn't want to sell that piece of jade; he knew it was the last bit of warmth his mother left him.

A woman who has been forced into a relationship can offer him even the slightest bit of warmth, and that's enough for him to cherish for a lifetime.

But he came to a realization: to live is to move forward.

His mother had cut off all contact with him, and even if they walked down the street, they would be strangers. So why should he cling to that fragile family bond that could be blown away by the wind?

He wanted to lead Jiang Tian to a new life, a life full of happiness.

Jiang Tian leaned against his back and sighed, "Don't say anymore, I don't want to hear any of this."

Lu Xiangnan's heart sank immediately.

His eyes were slightly red: "So what do you want?"

Jiang Tian stroked his eyes: "We agreed on two months."

Lu Xiangnan didn't want to hear those three words. He took her hand and said, "If you don't want me to stay here, then come with me, okay?"

He couldn't help but say what he most wanted to say.

There is really no future for him here, and he hasn't finished his studies.

Going back would be in his best interest.

His father is no longer a major threat, and his path back home will be smooth.

Moreover, the old man Jiang Tian cared about had passed away, leaving her all alone.

If she's willing to go with him, that would be the best outcome.

However, he was still met with Jiang Tian's denial.

"I will not go back with you."
