After changing wards, Ni Sitian stayed with Xu Tingchuan until after 10 p.m. before finally going home with him.

Throughout the night, Ni Sitian was quieter than usual. Although she stopped crying, she was still quite depressed.

Back home, Ni Sitian grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom. Xu Tingchuan sighed softly and went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

He knew that Ni Sitian might not be in the mood to eat right now, so he specially made a more appetizing tomato and egg noodle dish, cooking the noodles until they were soft and easy to digest.

When he brought out a bowl of noodles, Ni Sitian was coming out wrapped in a towel. He waved to her and said, "Come and eat noodles."

Ni Sitian walked over and sat down. Xu Tingchuan handed her chopsticks and said, "Even if you don't have an appetite, you should eat something, considering how hard I worked to cook it."

Not wanting Xu Tingchuan to worry about her, she took the chopsticks, lowered her head, picked up some noodles, and ate listlessly.

"Have some more soup." Xu Tingchuan picked up the spoon from her bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and brought it to her lips.

Ni Sitian obediently opened her mouth and drank the soup. When she looked up, she noticed that there was no noodles in front of Xu Tingchuan, so she asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

"I've already had dinner," Xu Tingchuan told a little lie; actually, they were out of noodles at home.

Moreover, after finishing his meeting today, he didn't have time to have dinner. He rushed over as soon as he heard that Ni Sitian was in the hospital, and hasn't eaten anything since.

“Even if you’ve had dinner, you must be hungry by now. Your stomach can’t go hungry.” Ni Sitian got up and went to the kitchen. She found a bowl and, while picking up chopsticks, noticed that the noodle packaging was empty and in the trash can.

She pursed her lips, her nose tingling slightly, and inwardly scolded this idiot.

After they went outside, she returned to normal, gave him most of the noodles in her bowl, and said, "I can't finish it, so please eat more for me."

"Okay, but you have to promise me you'll finish what's in your bowl right now." Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly at her.

Ni Sitian nodded, then cut the egg in the bowl in half, gave him half, and then started eating her noodles.

Seeing that she was eating with more relish than before, Xu Tingchuan felt a little relieved and also lowered his head to eat his noodles.

After finishing the noodles, Xu Tingchuan asked Ni Sitian to blow-dry her hair, while he cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

After washing the dishes, Xu Tingchuan took his clothes and went to take a shower.

After he finished showering and returned to the bedroom, he saw her sitting on the soft couch by the window, gazing downstairs with an empty look in her eyes.

He walked over, sat down behind her, pulled her into his arms, and followed her gaze downwards. Seeing only a sea of ​​neon lights, he softly asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ni Sitian's gaze remained fixed on the sky, revealing her sadness. She said softly, "I wasn't looking at anything. I was wondering what kind of despair would drive her to jump off the rooftop. Just looking down like this makes my feet go numb."

Xu Tingchuan sighed softly: "Perhaps the greatest sorrow is the death of the heart."

"I never imagined that someone as optimistic and cheerful as her would do this." Ni Sitian thought of her mother. Although her face had become blurred in her memory, the fire was something she could never forget.

Her mother was inherently weak and suffered from long-term mental repression, so she could understand why her mother would do such a thing out of madness. But Ni Tianzhen was clearly a completely different person from her mother, yet she also chose such a violent way.

What kind of despair could drive someone to such madness?

Seeing Ni Sitian become sad, Xu Tingchuan comforted her in a low voice: "Why don't you think of this as Ni Sitian's rebirth? After experiencing life and death, what else can she not think about in the future? Maybe this is the beginning of a new stage in her life."
