After a while.

Is it okay?

"Not good yet, press it again."

Are you faking it?

"I'm not faking it. I swear if I am, may I be struck by lightning... Uh, never mind."

"Hmph!"

Xiao Li and Shu'er were about to leave when Chu Yang, quick as a flash, pulled them back one on each side and pressed them back onto his body.

"Don't go, stay with me a little longer, just a little while, please."

Xiao Li and Shu'er nestled against his chest once more, feeling his firm body and strong, powerful heartbeat.

To be honest, I really hate to leave.

But I really can't bear to share it with the other person.

Hearing the soft words whispered in their ears, they all softened.

Okay, I'll stay a little longer...

"...Shu'er, Xiao Li, please don't leave me. Losing either of you would be like having a piece of my heart torn out, which would be more painful than being killed."

"I know it's awful to be greedy like this. You can hit me, scold me, whatever you want, but please don't leave me, okay? I really, really love you all..."

He choked up before he could finish speaking.

Xiao Li and Shu'er looked up at him and saw that tears were welling up in the corners of his eyes.

They had never seen this man cry.

In the past, Chu Yang always had a warm smile on his face, and was resolute and strong, as if he wouldn't even flinch if the sky were to fall.

He also brings them the best and happiest things, and he always indulges and coaxes them when they throw a tantrum.

Now, when they all wanted to leave, he finally couldn't hold back his tears.

Only then did Xiaoli and Shuer realize how afraid Chu Yang was of losing them and how much he cared about them.

"..." The two remained silent, their eyes red, and looked at each other.

Or should we just accept it...?

"...No!" they both said in unison.

Then they broke free from Chu Yang's embrace and ran out of the room as if fleeing.

Chu Yang was left lying on the bed in a daze for a long while before letting out a long sigh.

"It's still not working; we need to try harder."

"What time is it now?"

I checked the time on my phone; it was already past seven.

Rubbing his still slightly sore arms and chest, Chu Yang got out of bed, stretched, and left the rest room.

Xiaoli and Shuer finished brushing their teeth and came out of the bathroom side by side.

Looking closely at their expressions, it seemed they weren't arguing.

There was even a hint of harmony?

"Are you all washed up? Don't go into the room yet, Sister Xiaoyang will bring breakfast over later," Chu Yang said with a smile.

Xiao Li and Shu'er paused in their steps.

"……good."

"Um."

Both sides responded, which greatly relieved Chu Yang, making him feel that his efforts had not been in vain.

It seems we're one step closer to our goal.

Seeing the two people walk into the office, he hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash up.

Not long after, Lou Chunyue called to say that she was coming to deliver breakfast today.

Outside the building, Lou Chunyue put down her phone and looked at Su Yan, who was also carrying breakfast.

Only Chu Yang and his two companions remained in the building, so it was clear that the beautiful woman had come to deliver food to them.

The two sized each other up, and Lou Chunyue spoke first: "You're Chu Yang's..."

"Photography teacher, my name is Su Yan," Su Yan said with a smile.

Lou Chunyue said "Oh," as if she understood something, and revealed a meaningful smile.

"I am the manager of Chuyang Company, and my name is Lou Chunyue."

Su Yan also realized something and felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.

"I've come to see Chu Yang and get some information. Does Manager Lou know how long the building will remain under lockdown?" she asked.

"Including today, it will take at least another three days. Fortunately, it's not a confirmed case, otherwise we would have been locked up for half a month," Lou Chunyue said.

"That's great." Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The absence of confirmed cases means that Chu Yang is not at risk of being infected.

It's important to know that once infected with SARS, there was a 10% mortality rate!

Even if it is not life-threatening, it is quite troublesome to treat and will leave irreversible damage and sequelae.

She found this out from her uncle, the chief physician.

Lou Chunyue withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and looked towards the main entrance: "Chu Yang is here."

Su Yan quickly looked over, wanting to laugh but stopping herself, and put on a serious expression befitting a teacher.

"Please give these to Chu Yang." She handed the items in her hand to the medical staff.

Lou Chunyue also handed over the items.

The door opened, and Chu Yang greeted, "Sister Chunyue, Teacher Su."

Lou Chunyue nodded: "Are they alright?"

"It's alright, I'm not so angry anymore," Chu Yang said with a smile.

"That's good. I'll wait for your good news." Lou Chunyue blinked and glanced at Su Yan.

Chu Yang seemed to have realized something, but how could he admit his relationship with Su Yan at this time? So he pretended to be a good student.

"Thank you, Teacher Su, for bringing breakfast."

Su Yan brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and smiled, "You're welcome. I'm relieved to see that you're alright."

"Okay, hurry up and go inside, the door's about to close," the medical staff reminded them.

Chu Yang nodded and waved to them, "Then I'm going up."

After the door closed, Su Yan said, "Then I'll be going now, Manager Lou."

"Take care, Teacher Su," Lou Chunyue said with a smile.

After Su Yan left, she took a few steps and suddenly saw a very beautiful girl also come to the front of the building, carrying a bag.

"Hello doctor, is Chu Yang being held in this building?"
