Soon after dawn, Shen Qing opened his eyes.

She turned her head to look at the man beside her. He was sleeping quite peacefully, if you ignored the hoof holding her hand.

"Just woke up?" Feeling his palms were empty, Gu Ting opened his eyes.

"Well, go back to sleep." Shen Qing lifted the quilt and got out of bed, then took clothes from the closet to change.

Gu Ting rubbed his eyes, got up from the bed, washed up first, and then went into the kitchen.

When he came back at night, he brought some food with him.

As soon as Shen Qing arrived in the living room, she saw the man busy in the kitchen and unconsciously walked over to take a look.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Ting turned his head and saw the girl leaning against the door frame.

"The boss of Kinmen needs to cook for himself?" Shen Qing's tone was teasing.

"Well, I need to cook for Qingqing." Gu Ting added some seasonings to the pot, and the aroma quickly escaped.

"You go and wait first." Gu Ting found a bowl and prepared to put the noodles in the pot.

"Yeah." Shen Qing sat down obediently at the dining table in the living room.

Not long after, Gu Ting came out with noodles.

"Try it." Gu Ting handed a pair of chopsticks to Shen Qing.

"How is it?" Gu Ting sat down, leaned his arms on the table, and looked at her without blinking.

Shen Qing took a bite, it was neither salty nor bland, with a hint of meaty aroma, "Hmm, delicious."

"Really?" Gu Ting smiled, got up and went to the kitchen to get the hot milk, put it next to Shen Qing's hand, and then went to get his own breakfast.

Shen Qing glanced at him, waited for the man to sit down with the noodles, and said, “I’m going to Fancheng today.”

"Well, let's go together."

"No need." Shen Qing felt that Nie Huan would not want to see Gu Ting.

Gu Ting was stunned for a moment and put down his chopsticks.

"Erniu is still at Lan's house, pick her up."

"I'll go pick her up?" Gu Ting was a little flattered. The relationship between the Lan family and Shen Qing was not ordinary.

"Yeah." Shen Qing looked away when she saw him grinning from ear to ear.

"Okay." Gu Ting lowered his head and took a big mouthful of noodles.

Fancheng Central Hospital.

Nie Yu took the money and was about to go out to buy breakfast when the nurse stopped her.

"Little sister, meals will be provided in the single room, please wait in the room."

"Ah? Oh." Nie Yu glanced at her and silently retreated back to the room.

"What's wrong?" The young girl leaned on the bed, her face pale and looking very weak.

"The nurse said they would bring food over."

Nie Huan narrowed his eyes. Yesterday, he was suddenly transferred from an ordinary four-bed ward to a single room. Would he still be provided with meals now?

There were two rhythmic knocks on the door. The two looked towards the door and saw a young girl in a white nurse's uniform pushing a cart over.

"We didn't order this." Nie Huan looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the cart and was stunned.

The nurse smiled slightly, put breakfast on the table, and then pushed the cart out.

"Sister, is this edible?" Nie Yu glanced at the shrimps on the table and swallowed.

Nie Huan took a glance and said, "Eat it."

It was almost noon. Nie Yu was sitting at the table doing her homework. She noticed someone at the door and tilted her head to look over.

"Sister Chen Qing!" Nie Yu put down his pen and ran over happily.

Nie Huan heard the sound and looked up at the door. Shen Qing was dressed in black and stood quietly at the door with a bag of fruit in his hand.

"You're here." Nie Huan put away the pencil in his hand and put the notebook under the pillow.

"Yeah." Shen Qing bent down slightly and patted Nie Yu's shoulder. Nie Yu happily took the fruit bag from her hand.

Shen Qing hooked his lips and said, "You can't lift it."

"Sister Chen Qing, let's carry it together. I'll help you share the burden." Nie Yu held the bottom of the bag with both hands.

"good."

“Sister Shen Qing, is Erniu here?”

"No." Chen Qing put the fruit on the table. Nie Yu gave her the stool where he used to do his homework, and sat on the bed.

"Sister Chen Qing, she drew a picture." Nie Yu said with a smile.

"Yeah." Shen Qing looked at Nie Huan indifferently.

Nie Huan was stunned for a moment, his eyes drooping slightly.

Nie Yu pulled out a small notebook from under the pillow, "Sister Chen Qing, look."

This notebook was where Nie Yu did her homework. She quickly found Nie Huan's painting on the last page. She could vaguely see a little girl with no facial features, messy hair, and her whole body submerged in gray.
