Seeing Yun Liuli pulling out a chair and sitting down at the table, Auntie Li laid out breakfast while telling her, “Mr. Gu said that he had something to attend to and headed out. He’ll rush back before lunch. He told you to wait for him at home, and that he’ll bring you the velvet cake you like!”


  Yun Liuli nodded. Her gaze landed on the mop, and she said to Auntie Li, “Auntie Li, there’s a robotic vacuum cleaner at home. You’re getting older… Don’t be mopping the floor by yourself. It’s tiring!”


  Auntie Li smiled and placed the dishes in front of Yun Liuli, saying, “I have nothing to do anyway. I can’t possibly just sit here and watch that small thing run here and there, not cleaning some spots enough! I might as well do it myself!”


  After laying out breakfast for Yun Liuli, Auntie Li said, “Go ahead and have your breakfast. I’ll finish mopping the floor!”


  Given how big the apartment was, it was impossible for her to finish mopping within a short period of time!

  However, Yun Liuli knew Auntie Li’s temperament, and thus didn’t continue to persuade her.

  Yun Liuli finished her breakfast slowly, then picked up her phone and continued to play Tetris. Midway through the game, she thought of Zhou Yuchen and Guan Nina.

  Guan Nina might have thought that she had already gone overseas!

  Was it about time to pay Zhou Yuchen’s hospital fees?

  Yun Liuli really wanted to help Zhou Yuchen, so she wouldn’t stop midway. After finishing her breakfast, she avoided Auntie Li and gave Guan Nina a call.

  Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Guan Nina sounded listless when she picked up the call. “Hello…”


  “Nina, it’s me!”


  Hearing that it was Yun Liuli, Guan Nina, who was lying on her stomach on her pink princess bed and flipping through a magazine, suddenly sat up. “Liuli! Is that you, Liuli?”


  “En…” Yun Liuli replied softly, then said, “I have something I need your help with. My phone has broken, and I don’t know Zhou Yuchen’s number. I only have your number in my notebook. I paid 20,000 in hospital fees for Zhou Yuchen the other time, but I have no idea how much everything costs and don’t know if the money has been used up. Help me check it out. If it has been used up and hasn’t been topped up, help me add some money. I’ll pay you at a later time!”


  Zhou Yuchen had told Yun Liuli previously that if he were to make a call, there’d be someone to come and pay the money. However, Yun Liuli still didn’t feel assured.

  “So it’s about this! Zhou Yuchen has been discharged…”


  Guan Nina felt aggrieved at the mention of Zhou Yuchen. “I helped him pay the fees, but he left the hospital himself. During this period of time, he has ignored everyone in school as well. I bought him breakfast and put it on his table, but he didn’t even look at it. When he left, the food was left there as it was. Right now, Ye Yingying and Du Yingzi are also persuading me to ignore him! I’m also feeling quite angry, but I also find him pitiful!”


  Girls tended to be very soft-hearted, especially to the person they liked…


  After learning about Zhou Yuchen’s background, Guan Nina felt that he was really pitiful. She wanted to be good to him, but he didn’t care about that. This made Guan Nina feel very defeated.

  “How are his injuries now that he’s been discharged?” Yun Liuli asked.

  “I have no idea. He didn’t go back to the hospital for checkups either… Even if he did, I wouldn’t know. He doesn’t even talk to me!” Guan Nina still cared for Zhou Yuchen despite knowing that Zhou Yuchen liked Yun Liuli. She sniffled and said, “Why don’t you give Zhou Yuchen a call to ask, then tell me about it? I… am also quite worried about him. It’s only because of his injuries!”


  The young lady sounded especially aggrieved as she tugged on her pink bedsheets, her eyes reddened.

  “Alright. Send me his phone number! I don’t have his number on my new phone…”


  Yun Liuli could use WeChat, but she was a seven-year-old girl right now, and she was afraid that she’d leave a record on her phone if she were to download WeChat. Yun Liuli was very cautious about these things and wanted to be safe since this concerned the most important thing in her life.

  Therefore, talking on the phone was the most convenient route. She just had to delete the call records!

  After getting Zhou Yuchen’s number, Yun Liuli called him. However, he probably didn’t pick it up since it was an unknown number.

  Yun Liuli gave it some thought before sending Zhou Yuchen a message…


  ‘It’s Yun Liuli. Pick up the phone!’


  Two seconds after the message was sent, Zhou Yuchen called.

  Picking up the call, Yun Liuli said a soft “hello.” However, there were only breathing sounds from the other end of the phone.

  “I ran into some problems, and my phone was ruined, so I lost your contact information. I heard that you were discharged. Remember to go to your checkups!”


  “When will you be coming back?” Zhou Yuchen suddenly spoke up, his voice sounding a little hoarse.

  “I don’t know, but I hope that you’ll remain well!” Yun Liuli said.

  For now, she had no idea when she’d be able to go back to school. At the very least, she’d have to wait until her wounds were healed.

  However, what if she still hadn’t managed to win over Gu Qingcheng after her injuries healed?

  She would have to continue to play the role of a seven-year-old child. How could a seven-year-old child go to university?

  “En!” Zhou Yuchen answered in a soft voice.

  “Remember to go and practice Muay Thai. Don’t get bullied by others again. Study well!”


  Hearing Yun Liuli’s reminders, Zhou Yuchen continued to give calm replies. However, from the sound of his breathing, he seemed a lot calmer than before.

  “Will you still be coming back?” Zhou Yuchen then asked.

  Yun Liuli let out a soft laugh. “I thought that you didn’t care about anyone!”


  “You’re the only one!” Zhou Yuchen said.

  “I’m in Haicheng, but I won’t be able to go back to school for now. You… when you go to Brother Liu Sheng’s place to learn Muay Thai, don’t tell him that we spoke on the phone. Just pretend that you don’t know anything!”


  No matter what Yun Liuli’s requests were, even if she didn’t give him any explanations, Zhou Yuchen would agree to them without pause. “Alright! I got it!”


  “Treat Guan Nina better. She should be the person who cares about you the most in the world. Don’t make her sad!”


  Yun Liuli said this from the bottom of her heart.

  She was also a girl, and she was also deeply in love with someone. She was even left in Haicheng by the person she loved for close to a year, ignored during that entire period!

  She knew that feeling. It was too upsetting. So much so that she felt that there was no more meaning left in the world.

  “Got it!”


  Zhou Yuchen gave the same reply.

  After Yun Liuli hung up the phone, Auntie Li knocked on the door and said that the family doctor had come over and wanted to give her an IV drip.

  Yun Liuli replied and came out of the bathroom.

  The family doctor gave Yun Liuli an IV drip. Seeing that the young lady had no intention of talking to her, getting the IV drip with one hand while playing games with the other, the family doctor just said that she’d go out to take a walk. She would come back when it was about time to remove the IV drip.

  …


  Gu Qingcheng had been anxiously called over by Lu Jinnan early in the morning. He thought that something was up. He hadn’t expected that it was just for horse-riding at the horse stables!

  There had been a thunderstorm last night, and the stables were filled with muddy water. Why the hell would they be riding horses under such conditions?

  Lu Jinnan rode on a horse, taking a leisurely ride. Fu Huai’an brought out Lightning, a shiny black horse, and was smoothening out its hair.

  Gu Qingcheng had both hands in his pockets as he looked at Lu Jinnan, who wasn’t far away and was riding alongside Tang Zheng, chatting happily…
