Shi Nian originally planned to accompany her grandfather for a short while and then go back.
But her grandfather insisted that she stay and have dinner with him.
If she leaves, he starts to fake cry.
Although she knew her grandfather was faking his crying, Shi Nian couldn't bear to hear his pig-like screams.
She can never bring herself to be cruel to the people she cares about...
In the end, she had no choice but to stay.
Dinner was cooked by Rong Qing herself.
It's delicious.
After the meal, he even prepared a cup of milk tea for her.
This milk tea was the same as the one Rong Qing had prepared for her last time, but the taste was slightly different.
However, Shi Nian didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, even cooking can't guarantee that the taste will be the same every time, so it's normal for milk tea to taste different each time.
She finally left her grandfather's house at eight o'clock.
When she left, Rong Qing personally saw her off at the gate of the manor.
He had originally planned to take her home.
However, because she was going to see Ye Chen, and in order to avoid Rong Qing discovering her relationship with Ye Chen, she refused Rong Qing's kindness.
Shi Nian sat in the car and saw through the rearview mirror that Rong Qing was standing at the entrance of the manor, watching the direction she left.
His gentle eyes seemed to hold emotions she couldn't quite decipher.
I feel like Rong Qing is different today, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
The car turned onto another road, and Rong Qing's figure was completely out of sight in the rearview mirror.
She then withdrew her gaze and calmed her mind.
…
Rong Qing stood at the entrance of the manor, watching the direction in which Shi Nian's car had left.
After the car turned the corner, he did not leave immediately, but continued to stand at the entrance of the manor, looking at the empty road.
He only came back to his senses when a gust of cold wind blew by, making him shiver.
He slowly withdrew his gaze and turned back.
When they returned to the villa, the old man and Han Shuangzhe were preparing to do their evening prayers.
Upon seeing him return, the old man immediately beckoned him over, "Qingqing, come quickly and do your evening lessons together. Mingyue is staying overnight in the lab again and won't be coming back, so the three of us will have to do our evening lessons together!"
Rong Qing smiled slightly and went to do her evening lessons with them as if nothing had happened.
After finishing his evening class, he immediately went back to his room.
The moment the door closed, he finally removed his perfect mask, revealing a tired and pained expression on his face.
He reached up and clutched his heart, letting out a low cough.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
After a while, his complexion improved slightly.
He walked to the bedside and sat down.
Thinking of Shi Nian's face, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"We were too late; we couldn't stop Niannian's illness from flaring up... If Niannian's illness hadn't been triggered, no one would have had to sacrifice themselves..."
"However, the thought of being able to sacrifice myself for Niannian and remain by her side in another way after death, becoming one with her, is actually a little exciting..."
The bitterness on his lips slowly disappeared, replaced by a satisfied smile.
How can I let someone else take away the chance to sacrifice for Niannian?
Therefore, in order to prevent the other nine people from taking this opportunity away, he couldn't let them know that Nian Nian had already lost her virginity...
Niannian has suffered from a hereditary disease since birth, a cursed disease.
Without effective treatment, she will not live past thirty...
All ten of them exist to treat Niannian's illness and prolong her life.
If she chooses to marry them, or marries someone after she recovers from her illness, her life will not be threatened.
It's just a pity...
