Long Fengxi hung up the phone and went for chemotherapy. She was ready to battle cancer; she wanted to live well, to fight hard to stay alive.
As for Shen Congmo, she was powerless to keep him.
If she had to rely on her illness to make him stay, she wouldn’t do that.
It’s better to let go of sand slipping through one’s fingers.

The day Long Yubei returned, Gu Lili was in the middle of her nap.
He treaded lightly into the bedroom, trying not to make a sound.
After placing his bag and suit jacket on the sofa, he quietly approached the bed.
Gu Lili was lying there, possibly dreaming of sothing, a glistening trail of drool at the corner of her mouth.
He found it amusing and lay beside her, propping his head up to watch her sleep.
Don’t think he’s bored. Many people can spend two hours watching online celebrities eat and play gas.
At this mont, watching Gu Lili sleep was quite interesting to him.
Moreover, he placed a cara on the bedside table and started recording her.
An hour later, Gu Lili woke up.
"When did you get back?" She rubbed the drool from her mouth and her eyes as she sat up, looking just like a child.
"An hour ago. You were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you."
"Honey, you haven’t been ho for so many days. Do you even rember where ho is?"
"It’s just over ten days, not that many." He pointed to the pillow, "Look at what you’ve done."
She glanced nonchalantly, "In a bit, I’ll have the maid change and wash all the bed sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases."
"Before that, let’s make good use of them again."
Gu Lili was pressed back onto the bed, kicking her legs about, "I need to take a bath."
"It’s too late for that..."
Long Yubei pounced on her. During those ten or so days when he was away, he was alright during the day because he was busy with no ti to spare thinking about her, but co night, he felt incredibly empty.
"Lili, I missed you so much. Did you miss ?"
It was rare to hear Long Yubei say such words; Gu Lili reached up to wrap her arms around his neck, "What do you think? Of course I missed you, honey, I’m hungry."
"I’ll feed you."
"I ant I’m hungry in my stomach..."
"Wait for it."
"Ah ah ah ah, Long Yubei you jerk, you’re not letting eat!"
"..."
The passionate embrace lasted for more than an hour, leaving Gu Lili utterly exhausted.
It was Long Yubei who carried her to take a bath and went downstairs to bring her food and drinks.
Wrapped in a towel and sitting up in bed, she ate and said, "I had a dream about a huge table full of delicious food that got drooling. It turns out I was just really hungry because I skipped lunch."
He leaned and lay on her back, whispering, "Gu Lili, you’re really sothing."
"What did I do?"
"I’ve never felt this way about you before." He continued, sliding off from her back and resting his hand beside his head, his gaze deep and captivating, "What spell have you cast on ?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha." She laughed heartily, "That’s a good thing. It ans you’re sowhere on the road to loving , and I’m at the other end, waiting to greet you. By the way, did you know about Shen Congmo’s plans for a blind date?"
"I saw that. I don’t know what’s gotten into him."
"I heard from grandma that Feng Xi went abroad, ca back shortly, and then left again, saying she’s going to settle there in the future. Don’t you think these two are strange?"
"Feng Xi is no longer the person she used to be. Whatever she does now, she has her own considerations. Everyone has the right to choose their way of life, right?" His hand gently caressed her hair, "Life is often in our own hands."
