“Studies are very important to me. After all, I promised my mother and you that I would study my major well, get a good job in the future, and strive to be worthy of you.”
"Now it seems that nothing is more important than saving your life. You agreed to Mr. Gong's request because you wanted to protect me, right?"
She lowered her eyelids, her fingers tracing back and forth over her own name.
He was completely different from his previous timid and hesitant self; it was as if he had grown up overnight.
Most people are like that, right?
Only after losing the last shelter from the wind and rain do we truly understand how sacred the belief of "relying on oneself" is!
The two did not speak again, and the car drove into the Fan family's house.
Liang Shiyue put the letter of appointment in her coat and tucked it under her arm before opening the car door.
