Ouyang Che has been gone for two days.
During these two days, Wushuang hasn’t had the energy for anything.
Habits can be truly terrifying.
Before, when he wasn’t around, she didn’t feel much about being alone.
But after spending so much ti together recently, when he left, she felt empty inside, as if sothing was missing.
She’s beco prone to daydreaming, looking sowhat absent-minded.
Tao Hua, noticing her mood, plans to host a party at ho.
To cheer her up.
Actually, there are only a few people attending, all familiar faces.
Lin Xinlan was invited by Tao Hua specifically to counsel her.
While barbecuing in the backyard, she chatted with Wushuang.
"Ouyang Che went back?" Lin Xinlan asked casually.
Wushuang nodded, "Mm, he had so matters and returned to the island."
"He’ll be back, right?"
"...Maybe." Wushuang smiled faintly.
That night, she hurt him deeply; perhaps he won’t co back.
It’s just as well; it’s the outco she wanted.
Lin Xinlan noticed her gloomy expression and decided to be direct: "Wushuang, do you also like Ouyang Che?"
Wushuang was stunned, she looked at her and didn’t reply.
Lin Xinlan smiled, "I can tell you like him too. Tao Hua ntioned he really likes you. Since you both like each other, why not be together?"
Wushuang lowered her gaze, obviously troubled.
"Is it because of your illness?" she asked again.
Wushuang shook her head, then nodded, "It’s part of the reason..."
"What’s the other half of the reason?"
"Xinlan, I know you care for , and I know you all an well. But so things, even if discussed, won’t change anything." Wushuang said softly.
Lin Xinlan listened and didn’t press further.
She smiled at her, "Wushuang, you’re very smart. I believe your considerations are sensible. But I still hope you’ll consider carefully, not to hurt both of your hearts."
"Mm, I know, thank you." Wushuang smiled slightly.

When Ouyang Che returned, Wushuang was in the lab conducting research.
She had been researching for quite a while.
Yet, her blood, hair, skin, bone marrow... all of it showed no issues.
Her body was very healthy, even healthier than a normal person’s.
Could such a body really die in five years?
The Xuanyuan Family claid it was a curse; she didn’t believe in curses existing in this world—such mysterious things seed non-existent to her.
But if it weren’t a curse, how could she explain the fact that the Xuanyuan Family mbers never lived past twenty-seven?
Frustrated, Wushuang let go of the research equipnt, feeling a surge of abandonnt.
Forget about researching; if death cos, so be it.
After all, no results ever co from the research!
After sitting in despair for a mont, she tidied up the equipnt and headed out.
Upon opening the door, she saw Ouyang Che standing there.
Suddenly seeing him, Wushuang froze, not knowing if she felt joy or lancholy.
Why co back...
Ouyang Che looked at her deeply and said calmly, "I just got back."
"Oh." Wushuang nodded slightly, "Is everything on the island okay?"
"Everything’s fine."
Both of them tacitly avoided ntioning the event from that night.
Wushuang smiled at him, "You’ve just returned, you must be tired. Go rest."
