"Has Xinghe not had a proper rest in a long time?" Su Zhilan asked.
Liu Qingmeng remained silent, only feeling heartache.
"Yes, Xinghe's sleep quality has been very poor these days. Although he seems to be in much better condition than in the first few days, it's still not good. He only sleeps three or four hours a day, and it's not easy for him to fall asleep now."
"We're late."
"It's alright, Second Sister, we'll take care of you. It's just that Dean Chen passed away so suddenly. Xinghe probably has this hurdle in her heart too, not being able to see Dean Chen one last time."
"Yes, Dean Chen passed away peacefully, quietly bidding farewell to this world."
Hearing Su Zhilan's words, Su Ke'er's tears fell again, and she quickly wiped them away.
"Second sister, Mengmeng, have you eaten yet? Are you still hungry? I'll order some takeout for you."
"I have no appetite, Fourth Sister, I don't want to eat."
"You still need to eat. Mengmeng, you haven't eaten anything since noon. Is there anything to eat at home?"
"Second sister, all we have is instant noodles. You know I don't usually cook."
"Then let's just have instant noodles. Mengmeng and I will make do with that."
"Okay, then you guys take a break. I'm pretty good at cooking instant noodles."
"All you can do is cook instant noodles."
After finishing their instant noodles, Su Ke'er found a room for Su Zhilan to rest in.
As for Liu Qingmeng, she was pushed into Wang Xinghe's room by Su Zhilan and Su Ke'er.
"Sister Zhilan, Fourth Sister, you..." Liu Qingmeng's cheeks flushed.
"Alright, now only you can soothe Xinghe. Hurry up and comfort our young Xinghe's heart."
"Yes, Mengmeng, I'm leaving Xinghe in your care. My second sister and I are going to rest. These past two days have been exhausting. Look at me, I'm even getting wrinkles."
Liu Qingmeng entered Wang Xinghe's room, which was pitch black. Using the light from her phone, she reached Wang Xinghe's bedside and sat down.
He stroked Wang Xinghe's cheek with his hand.
"You've lost weight, Xingxing, you've lost weight."
Seeing that Wang Xinghe did not react, Liu Qingmeng gently lay down next to him and pulled him into her arms.
"Did you have a nightmare, Star?"
At this moment, Wang Xinghe was having a nightmare in which he saw the people around him leaving him one by one.
A fine sheen of sweat appeared on Wang Xinghe's forehead. Seeing this, Liu Qingmeng helped wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Star, I'm here, I've always been here."
Seemingly after hearing Liu Qingmeng's voice, Wang Xinghe calmed down again.
Liu Qingmeng gently patted Wang Xinghe. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Xinghe opened his eyes and realized that he was being held in someone's arms.
"What's going on? Aren't I at home?"
Wang Xinghe opened his eyes and saw Liu Qingmeng beside him.
Liu Qingmeng remained in the same position she had before falling asleep, her hand still resting on Wang Xinghe's back.
Wang Xinghe gently got up and gently placed Liu Qingmeng's arm in a comfortable position.
Where are you going?
"Mengmeng, you're awake."
"Hmm, what time is it now?"
"It's past midnight, you should go to sleep, I need to go back to Ningjiang."
Are you going back to Ningjiang now?
"Yes, I need to bury Dean Chen under that tree before the children get up, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to them. I have already spoken with Aunt Wu and the others and asked them to wait for me."
"Then I'll go with you."
"No need, Mengmeng, I can go back by myself. You must be very tired after just getting back."
“I’m not tired. I missed Dean Chen’s passing. Are you not going to let me go this time? I also want to see Dean Chen off on his final journey.” As Liu Qingmeng spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall at any moment.
"Alright, then get up. We'll leave quietly and tell my older sister and the others in the morning."
"Haven't you told my older sister and the others yet?"
"No, if I tell them, they might go to Ningjiang too. My older sister and the others haven't been able to work these past few days because of me, so I can't trouble them any further. Besides, Dean Chen never liked crowds."
"Okay, let's go then."
Wang Xinghe and Liu Qingmeng set off before 1 a.m.
"Mengmeng, if you get sleepy on the way, you can take a nap in the car."
"I'm not sleepy."
"Are you hungry? How about we buy something to eat on the way?"
"Okay, let's buy something to eat, I think I'm a little hungry."
"Let's go to the convenience store and I'll buy you some snacks."
The convenience store also had oden. Wang Xinghe bought Liu Qingmeng a bag of snacks and then bought her some oden.
"This is hot, eat it first to warm yourself up."
"Okay, Xingxing, if you're sleepy, just tell me, and we can rest for a bit before we go."
"I'm not sleepy, I'm very energetic, I've had enough rest."
"Okay, I was thinking of going back to Ningjiang with you. If you got sleepy on the way, I could talk to you. But you said you weren't sleepy."
"Okay, so what does Meng want to say to me? You can tell me now."
"Then let me tell you about my experience in this competition."
Liu Qing wanted to divert Wang Xinghe's attention, so naturally she couldn't bring up Dean Chen again.
So Liu Qingmeng told Wang Xinghe everything about her trip to Shanghai.
Why didn't you tell me these things back then?
"You still have the nerve to say that! I was just afraid that my second sister would find out, but I didn't expect that she already knew about our relationship. We didn't say anything, and neither did she. I was so afraid of her."
"Yeah, it seems we were both too naive."
"Oh no! Did my older sister find out too? We're doomed! Will she blame us? They all know, but we didn't tell her."
"Then why don't we tell our older sister the truth?"
"Then, then let's not do it, I'm a little scared."
"See? You don't dare to do it anymore. Knowing my eldest sister as I do, she probably doesn't know. She probably doesn't have time to care about these things. My second sister wouldn't tell her either."
"Okay, now all that's left is for my older sister to agree to us being together."
"Yes, and my mom and Uncle Su too."
"Ah! And your mother and Uncle Su, Xingxing, tell me quickly, do you think your mother and Uncle Su care about social status?"
“My mother isn’t from any particular social class, so how could she care? As for Uncle Su, he certainly doesn’t care either. He was able to marry someone like my mother who has no social standing. Your Liu family is only a second-rate family in Kyoto, so what kind of match do you need?”
"Well, I'm worried. After all, you're the only male in the Su family. What if the Su family arranges a marriage for you?"
"No, don't worry, the Su family is too powerful to rely on marriage alliances."
