When he returned to Liou Rumei's place, Liou Rumei was sitting on the sofa.
"You're back?"
Liou Rumei giggled. She stood up in a silk nightgown, her hair falling down over her shoulders, then walked toward Ren Feng.
"So? How's your little star?"
Ren Feng shook his head. "She's in the hospital. Heart disease."
Liou Rumei froze for a moment. "She fell ill?"
"Yeah. I'm going to save her."
Liou Rumei said nothing more, just helped Ren Feng take off his coat.
"Tomorrow I'm leaving Yanjing."
"You, huh, you're obviously a busy man. No need to tell me about these little things." Liou Rumei giggled. "You haven't eaten yet, right? Eat first."
The two sat at the dining table. It was obvious to Liou Rumei that Ren Feng was weighed down with worries.
"Don't worry. Things will work out. Everyone has the hardest year of their life, the one that makes their world both better and broader."
Ren Feng looked at Liou Rumei and smiled. "Maybe. I'll help her get through that hardest year."
