"I'll take you home."

The two of them had just walked a short distance when Jiang Liu'er suddenly said this. Yang Xiaotong, who was walking side by side, clearly slowed down. When Jiang Liu'er turned her head, the sunlight shone down from behind her, making her face in the shadows.

He took a step forward and saw the tears that came from Yang Xiaodong's eyes. Her watery eyes and tightly biting lips were captivating in the red glow of her cheeks.

Jiang Liu'er reached out her hand to pull Yang Xiaodong into her embrace. Yang Xiaotong made a sound of 'oh' and slowly reached out her hand as well, putting her arm around Jiang Liu'er's waist.

Lowering her head, she frantically breathed in and out on his firm chest. Her nose was filled with a clean smell, and as she stuck to him, she could feel his strong heartbeat, one beat at a time, slowly knocking on her heart, calming her originally tense mood.

After a long while, Jiang Liu'er finally loosened up a bit, "Sorry, I lost my composure just now, don't take it to heart."

Yang Xiaodong raised her head and looked into Jiang Liu'er's unfathomable eyes. She could clearly see the sadness in them. The only thing she could do was accompany them. The only thing she could give was … Only company.

"No problem, I will always be by your side." Yang Xiaodong raised her hand and touched Jiang Liu'er's cheek, sinking a little bit into the deep black. She stood on her tiptoes and lightly pecked her lips.

As the sunset glow fell, it was imprinted on the two's cheeks, causing them to look bashful. They did not say anything unnecessary and walked side by side. They had no purpose and merely walked forward.

Standing beside Jiang Liu'er, Yang Xiaotong could clearly hear his breathing. It was clean and pure. This feeling made her want to stop here.

She had never thought about this. "It's getting late. Quickly go back and see Xuanyuan Mingxue."

The sky darkened after they had walked for a long time. Yang Xiaodong looked at Jiang Liu'er, whose face was filled with worry. Although she couldn't bear to part with him, she knew that Jiang Liu'er was worried about Xuanyuan Mingxue.

"It's fine. I'll accompany you more." Although Jiang Liu'er was worried that Xuanyuan Mingxue would wake up and want to find her, he didn't know what kind of mood he would have to face Xuanyuan Mingxue after he returned.

It would be good to say that he wanted to avoid it, or to say that he didn't want to face it. He only wanted more time to cushion his emotions. He was afraid that if he saw Xuanyuan Mingxue, the scene in his mind at that time would make him feel uncomfortable.

"Jiang Liu'er, I know you feel terrible in your heart, but Xuanyuan Mingxue is more …" Yang Xiaodong bit her lips. She knew that if she were to talk about Xuanyuan Mingxue, Jiang Liu'er wouldn't feel well, but this wasn't the time for him to feel down. Xuanyuan Mingxue needed Jiang Liu more than anyone else.

"I hope you understand that Xuanyuan Mingxue needs your company more than ever before. If you continue to refuse to see him like this, I really think I've misjudged you. In my, Yang Xiaodong's eyes, you, Jiang Liu'er, are not such a cowardly person.

Yang Xiaodong's small outburst shocked Jiang Liu'er. In front of him, Yang Xiaodong was always gentle and gentle. Every word she said was a heavy blow to Jiang Liu'er's heart, making him realize his current condition.

He was a man, but because of a little problem, he no longer seemed like a man. Hiding here like a turtle when others needed him, doing nothing and solving nothing was not what a man should do.

Jiang Liu'er looked at Yang Xiaotong, who was trying her best to hold back her tears, and nodded her head. Indeed, he should not be so depressed, it was just a small storm, how could it defeat him, Jiang Liu'er. What he wanted to do was not done, he had not completed the mission he wanted to complete, now was not the time to be on the road.

"You're right, I've wasted a lot of time. Xiaotong, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I'd still be stuck at the peak of this world and wouldn't know when I would wake up. Xiaotong, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything."

Yang Xiaodong saw that her words had affected Jiang Liu'er and tried to raise the corner of her mouth. Although she wanted to be alone with her lover, the facts before her told her that she couldn't be that selfish. Jiang Liu'er didn't only want to be with her for life, she would help Yang Xiaodong no matter what she wanted to do, including her life.

After Jiang Liu'er sent Yang Xiaodong home, they returned on the same path. When Yang Xiaodong returned home, she kept thinking that this matter must have had something to do with Murong Xuan. In addition to the conflict between Murong Xuan and Jiang Liu'er, she was certain that Murong Xuan had done something to the matter between Jiang Liu'er and Xuanyuan Mingxue.

"No, no matter what, we have to ask Murong Xuan tomorrow."

As Yang Xiaotong thought this, she fell asleep without realizing it. The next morning, she woke up early and called Murong Xuan.

"The phone rang several times before it connected." "Xiaotong, why did you suddenly call? Is something the matter?"

Murong Xuan's voice was a bit low, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.

"Where are you? I have something that I want to talk to you about. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

"I'm at the Benevolent Heart Hospital. You can come over. "

"Why are you in the hospital?" Yang Xiaotong thought that there was a problem with Mu Rong Xuan. She suddenly felt nervous in her heart. It wasn't because of any other feelings, it was purely because she knew him.

"My dad is hurt." I'm here to help with some hospital matters. Alright, I won't say anymore. When you get there, call me. I'll pick you up at the door.

After hanging up, Yang Xiaodong went out. It took her more than ten minutes to reach the hospital. She dialed Murong Xuan's number, but just as she was about to dial him again, she heard someone call her name.

Turning around, Murong Xuan walked over with a serious expression on his face. "Let's go." Without waiting for Yang Xiaodong to speak, he pulled her hand and walked towards the elevator.

Yang Xiaodong wanted to refuse, but Murong Xuan was too strong. With his dark face, Yang Xiaodong didn't say anything.

When the two of them stood at the door of the ward, Yang Xiaodong finally opened her mouth. "I did have something to talk to you about today. I wanted to clarify things with you before I left."

She knew that Murong Xuan must have thought he was nervous because he heard that Murong Batian was in the hospital, so he came to the hospital. Just like that, she followed Mu Rong Xuan into the ward. Their relationship was unclear. She didn't want Murong Xuan to misunderstand her, and she didn't want Jiang Liu'er to know what was going on.

Hearing Yang Xiaodong's words, Murong Xuan didn't loosen his grip on her hand. "I know we misunderstood and you've always been angry. But today you called and heard that my dad was sick. Didn't you already forgive me?"

Looking at the excited Murong Xuan, Yang Xiaodong pushed his hand away. Her goal wasn't here at all.

"I think you misunderstood. I came to find you today because …"

Halfway through Yang Xiaotong's words, the door of the ward was suddenly opened. The nurse looked at the two people standing at the door and said, "The patient was given a solution, you can go in now to see the patient."

Murong Xuan pulled Yang Xiaodong into the ward. Yang Xiaodong looked at the pale Murong Batian lying on the bed. She was about to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Murong Xuan started to talk.

"Forget it, it's good that you came today. We don't need to talk about the past anymore. Xiaotong, I feel like we will have some days together. I really want to marry you."

Mu Rong Xuan said as he held onto Yang Xiaodong's hand. His eyes were sincere as if he was proposing marriage to his beloved woman. It was a pity that the female protagonist was too shocked.

"Don't be like this, you and I have nothing to do with each other. I've only come today to ask you about Jiang Liu'er's matters."

Yang Xiaodong's words made Murong Xuan freeze for a moment. Seeing Yang Xiaodong's reaction, Murong Xuan knew that he had no chance of proposing marriage. He didn't say anything else and stood up awkwardly to straighten his clothes.

"What happened to him? Is he dead?"

Yang Xiaodong looked at Murong Batian, who didn't seem to have any signs of life, and lowered her voice, "Jiang Liu'er, something happened to you. I didn't want to think about you, but you had a grudge with Jiang Liu'er, and when I called you, you said that uncle was in the hospital too, so …"

Murong Xuan looked at Yang Xiaodong and felt a surge of anger assaulting his heart. Why did everything have to be related to Jiang Liu'er? It looked like he was going to be in the same position as Jiang Liu'er for the rest of his life.

"So you came to question me?"

Towards Yang Xiaodong, Mu Rong Xuan dared not be angry, as she was the girl he liked and he couldn't bear to be angry at her. But it was obvious that Yang Xiaodong's purpose for coming today had already met his bottom line. No matter how ambitious a man he was, he wouldn't let his woman show her face to protect another man.

"I'm not questioning you. I just want to know if this matter is really related to you. I know you and Jiang Liu'er have a misunderstanding, but we're all classmates. Even if you have a bad idea, there's no need to implicate others, right?"

Giving Jiang Liu'er a lesson was something he wanted to do a long time ago. Yang Xiaodong meant that Jiang Liu'er was in trouble now and this could make Murong Xuan happy, but why would it affect the others? Who was this other person?

Murong Xuan's mind spun as he tried to piece together the pieces of the matter in order to find some valuable clues.
