The people who were fiddling with the report were very smart. They left out one or two pages without any pattern, so Yanqi had to go through them again. By the time she was done, it was already 10 PM.

The lights in the office had gone off, and the noise of the day was gone. It was exceptionally quiet.

Yanqi rubbed her sore neck. She backed up, turned off the computer, and leaned back in her chair. The incandescent lights above her head made her dizzy.

The screen on the table suddenly lit up and shook violently. Yanqi frowned as she answered the call.

"Hello, is this Miss Su? "I'm sorry to bother you so late, but please come to the nursing home when you have time. Your mother has been suffering from a lot of attacks these days. Perhaps you can visit her for a while and she will feel better!"

Yanqi paused for a moment before saying softly, "Alright, I understand. Thank you. Please take care of her a little bit more!"

"Don't worry, we will do our best!"

Yanqi looked at the screen of her phone darkening bit by bit. Her lips curled up into a sorrowful and mocking smile. If she were to go, she would probably get even more sick!

It was almost twelve when he got home. The light was still on in the living room. The TV was not on. The room was quiet.

Yanqi took off her coat and changed her shoes to enter the room. At first glance, she saw that the man had fallen asleep on the table. There was already food prepared on the table, but it had remained untouched. It was already cold.

Taking a blanket and putting it on top of her, Yanqi walked to the balcony. She looked out and saw tens of thousands of lights shining like stars in the dark night, warm and peaceful.

Yanqi sat on the balcony with her arms wrapped around her knees. She was tired and lazy and didn't want to move. She didn't want to think about anything. She just sat there quietly, staring at the lights in the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps gradually drew closer. Yanqi raised her head and saw Xiao Yu standing by her side. Her tall body blocked the light coming from behind her. Under the dim light, a pair of amber eyes looked at her gently.

Yanqi was sitting shoulder to shoulder with him. She tilted her head as she looked at Yanqi. With a frown on her face, she asked worriedly, "What happened? Are you unhappy?"

Yanqi slowly shook her head, her eyes like a painting. She gently leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "No, I'm just a little tired."

His eyes looked forward, not daring to move. After a long time, he lifted his arm and put it around Yanqi's shoulder, his voice warm like the spring wind. "I'll hug you, then you won't be tired!"

Yanqi narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Oh, oh, good boy!"

Saying that, she pouted, "But wait until I get married, then I will not be wanted anymore. At that time, I will still be alone!"

Yo Yo immediately said anxiously, "Yo Yo, I don't want a wife. Yo Yo, I only want a groin!"

"Do you know what a wife is?" Yanqi asked with a smile.

After pondering for a moment, she shook her head in a daze.

Yanqi lowered her head and smiled. She sat up straight and rolled her eyes as she explained, "Wife is the person closest to you in the future. You guys need to live together, take care of each other, and slowly grow old together!"

Yo Yo nodded suddenly. Her handsome face bloomed as she laughed happily. She said affirmatively, "My groin is Yo Yo's wife!"

Yanqi was stunned for a moment before shaking her head with a sneer, "No, although we live together, it's not …" She paused, not knowing how to explain, "Anyway, I'm not. In the future, when I recover, there will be someone I like, that's your wife!"

Thinking about her plans for the future, Yanqi suddenly had the illusion of being a mother. She said half-jokingly, "Just remember to honor me when the time comes!"

She pursed her delicate lips, appearing extremely unhappy. With her head lowered, her magnetic voice said, "No, no, I don't want a wife. I just want to be together with someone!"

Yanqi shook her head helplessly. She raised her hand to stroke his hair and said in an aged voice, "Silly child!"

Suddenly, a firework exploded outside the window, and silver flowers flickered as they crackled.

Yanqi's face changed drastically. She suddenly hugged Yanqi, burying her head in her bosom. She closed her eyes, shivering slightly.
