Since Li Chu started working, he has only ever had one student, Ding Qiunan, who came to study. In the end, Ding Qiunan became his wife.

He was genuinely interested in Lin Sanshou's suggestion.

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'll discuss it with Qiu Nan when I get back today."

After taking a bite of food, Li Chu remembered to ask, "By the way, Uncle-Master, what are you planning to do with Qiu Nan now that she's gone?"

“Continue running her Chinese medicine pharmacy; she’s familiar with that area.”

"Uncle-Master, I will definitely get back to you by tomorrow at the latest."

"Hmm," Lin Sanshou nodded, "Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."

After finishing their meal, Li Chu saw Lin Sanshou onto the bus, while he wandered around aimlessly by himself.

He didn't want to go back to the hospital so early; the oppressive atmosphere there was making him feel terrible.

Wait, what did he see?

Li Chu lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, seriously doubting whether he had seen things correctly.

Looking across the street again, it was indeed Wu Xiaoliu and Jiang Li.

Wu Xiaoliu was pulling the cart in front, while Jiang Li was pushing it from the side. The cart was loaded with honeycomb briquettes, and the two of them were chatting and laughing.

Li Chu blinked; something was up!

If a stranger saw them looking like this, they would definitely think they were a couple.

Look, Jiang Li even took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat from Wu Xiaoliu's forehead.

Hey, these two are pretty secretive about it.

When they ate together on Labor Day, the two of them acted quite normally.

They were faking it. Those two were definitely faking it back then, and they fooled everyone.

A malicious smile crept across Li Chu's lips.

He walked across the street and stood behind the two people who were wiping their sweat.

Clearing his throat, Li Chu took a few quick steps and said loudly, "Which unit are you from? Show me your identification."

His shout startled the two people who were immersed in an ambiguous atmosphere.

Jiang Li quickly pulled her hand back and turned to look at her.

When she realized who it was, Jiang Li blushed and lowered her head, not knowing where to put her hands.

Wu Xiaoliu, on the other hand, acted much more normally. Upon seeing Li Chu, he greeted him happily.

"Xiao Chu, what are you doing here?"

"Sixth Brother, shouldn't I be asking you that? As far as I remember, your grain station isn't close to here."

"Hehe," Wu Xiaoliu chuckled sheepishly, raising his hand to scratch his hair: "I'll take advantage of this lunch break to help Xiao... to Jiang Li with something."

Perhaps feeling that Lian Xiaoli was being too intimate, Wu Xiaoli quickly changed his mind halfway through his sentence.

Li Chu glanced at Jiang Li, who kept her head down, with amusement.

The fact that Wu Xiaoliu could be called that so naturally shows that this wasn't the first time he'd done it; the secrecy was excellent.

"Jiang Li, is there gold on the ground? You don't even greet your old friend."

Hearing Li Chu call her, Jiang Li raised her head shyly. Just as she was about to say something, Wu Xiaoliu grabbed her hand.

"Xiao Chu, I won't hide it from you anymore, Xiao Li and I are already together."

Jiang Li was so embarrassed that she hurriedly shook off his hand and glared at him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Alright, Jiang Li, neither of you are married, so what's there to be embarrassed about? But isn't it a bit unfair of you to keep this from us all this time?"

"No...we...we..." Jiang Li stammered, unable to speak coherently for a long time.

"Alright, stop explaining. Explaining is just covering up. It's not like it's anything shameful. But you need to think carefully about how to talk to Qiu Nan. She's been so worried about you."

Li Chu's words caused Jiang Li's expression to change noticeably.

"Xiao Chu, you..." Wu Xiaoliu said helplessly.

"Haha, let's talk as we walk, so you don't get late for work."

"Li Chu, could you... could you talk to Qiu Nan for me? I didn't mean to hide it, it's just... I just don't know how to say it." Jiang Li was a little anxious. Ding Qiu Nan had always been very good to her, and after Li Chu said this, she felt a little sorry for her friend.

"Xiao Li, don't pay attention to him, he's just joking," Wu Xiaoliu said, turning his head slightly as he pulled the cart.

Jiang Li walked on the other side of the cart and turned to look at Li Chu.

"Stop looking at Jiang Li. There's no better time than today. Let's do it this afternoon. You two bring your children to my house and we'll have a meal together. You can talk to Qiu Nan about your own affairs."

"Ah, you...you still want me...to say it myself?" Jiang Li started to stutter again when she got nervous.

"So what? Qiu Nan considers you her best friend. How can you bear to keep this from her?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I just... I just feel a little embarrassed."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? She's probably overjoyed for you. It's settled then. Sixth Brother, did you hear that?"

"Yes, yes, we'll definitely go there after get off work this afternoon," Wu Xiaoliu replied with a smile.

After walking for a few minutes, Li Chu reached the intersection that led to the courtyard house and stopped.

"Alright, I won't go. You two remember to come over this afternoon."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely not forget about the free meals."

Li Chu's smile vanished, and he looked at Wu Xiaoliu with a serious expression.

"Sixth Brother, Jiang Li is my childhood friend. She has no other relatives here. Qiu Nan and I are her family."

"I can't stop her from being with you, but if I find out you're mistreating her, then we brothers will have a serious talk."

Wu Xiaoliu pressed down on the handle of the cart with his leg, straightened up, and pounded his chest with his right hand, making a loud thud: "You can rest assured about that."

Jiang Li, her eyes slightly red, thanked Li Chu.

"Go on, hurry up." He waved and turned to leave.

Watching Li Chu walk further and further away, Wu Xiaoliu pulled the cart again: "Xiaoli, now you don't have to worry about how to tell him and his wife."

"You still dare to say that? You're so embarrassing!" Jiang Li stomped her foot. Seeing that Wu Xiaoliu had already pulled the cart forward, she hurriedly went up to help push it.

"What's there to be ashamed of?"

"You think everyone is like you, with skin as thick as a city wall?"

"Hehe, if I didn't have a thick skin, how could I possibly marry you?"

"Wu Xiaoliu, what nonsense are you spouting on the main street? If you keep talking like this, I'm not talking to you anymore." Jiang Li was even more embarrassed by what he said, and hurriedly looked around, afraid that others would hear.

"Okay, okay, from now on we won't talk about it outside, we'll only talk about it inside, is that alright?"

"Hmph, how come I never noticed before? You're such a scoundrel."

Knowing that his beloved was easily embarrassed, Wu Xiaoliu stopped teasing her, otherwise it would be troublesome if she really got angry. He just chuckled.
