Upon hearing this, the Elder Princess immediately nodded. Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

She stood up swiftly, saying, "Good, we must act without delay. I'll lead the soldiers to the rescue right away."

After ending the call, Gu Sang rushed to her computer desk.

She turned on the computer and began searching for information on how to make lifeboats, along with other necessary items for rescue operations - ropes, medicines, methods, and so on.

Gu Sang lost track of how many web pages she had scoured and how many instructional videos she had watched.

But this information was far from sufficient.

The most crucial parts and essence were still missing!

Ancient production techniques were primitive, and how could suitable replacement materials be found in such a short time?

Neither the online resources nor the personal tutorial videos were clear enough. Gu Sang could even tell that they had concealed the most critical aspects of lifeboat construction.

The sound of sirens outside snapped Gu Sang out of her concentration. She turned her head to glance out the window.

It was already morning.

"It seems I'll have to visit a company that specializes in making lifeboats to inquire," Gu Sang thought as she searched for lifeboat companies in her city on the computer.

Just then, Chen Yun called her: "Gu Sang, tomorrow is my birthday. I'd like to invite you."

Tomorrow?

Gu Sang looked at the locations of lifeboat companies displayed on her computer screen. The nearest one was in the neighboring province, and she likely wouldn't make it back in time for tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, Ayun, I have something to do tomorrow and won't be able to attend your birthday party. My apologies."

Ayun smiled and said, "No worries. I'm being discharged this afternoon, so how about I treat you to a meal today?"

"I have to leave the province today to take care of something. I'm afraid I won't make it in time not only for the birthday party but also for the meal."

Seeing how busy Gu Sang seemed, Ayun couldn't help but ask, "There aren't many people coming to my birthday party, so you don't need to feel bad. But you seem to be in quite a hurry. Is something wrong?"

"Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you think of a solution."

"My boyfriend just got into graduate school. He's very smart and knows a lot of people. Maybe he could help you."

Gu Sang initially didn't hold out much hope for Chen Yun's offer.

But then she thought, since it was Chen Yun's birthday and she was being so kind, there was no harm in explaining the situation.

Gu Sang sighed and said, "My friend lives in a remote mountainous area that frequently experiences floods. I need to know how to make lifeboats immediately, so I'm planning to go to a lifeboat company to ask."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yun on the other end of the line seemed a bit confused.

"And stop insinuating things about Lin Lin every time. She's my friend, and I won't let you slander her."

Her boyfriend immediately let out a cold laugh, "Chen Yun, you agreed earlier to save money with me to pay the down payment on a house. I've been living frugally, all for the sake of having a home with you."

"And here you are, not even blinking an eye at spending over a thousand yuan on skincare products."

"What birthday? Aren't you just hinting that your birthday is coming up, wanting me to reimburse you for these thousand-yuan skincare products? Now that you see I'm a graduate student, you're treating me like an ATM, aren't you?"

"How did you become so materialistic?"

"Bang!"

Chen Yun's boyfriend shook his head in disappointment and then angrily opened the door, ready to storm out.

He looked up and saw Gu Sang standing at the doorway.

The anger on his face instantly dissipated.

His expression changed several times before finally settling on a polite and gentle smile. He greeted Gu Sang with a tone of inexplicable warmth, as if he hadn't been the one angry just moments ago.

Her boyfriend smiled and greeted her, "Sang... Gu Sang, are you here to see Ayun too? Go on in, I'm just going out for some fresh air."

Gu Sang: .......

Didn't he used to call her 'Sang Sang' quite sweetly before?

Why did he stop?

Oh!

His girlfriend was here. How interesting!

Only after Chen Yun's boyfriend left did Gu Sang enter the hospital room.

Seeing Gu Sang come in, Chen Yun quickly crumpled the tissue in her palm, not wanting Gu Sang to notice that she had been wiping away tears.

Seven years!

She suffered with him for seven years!

They lived in a basement apartment, ate plain steamed buns, and during the toughest times, couldn't even afford a bowl of noodles.

Even when he was preparing for his graduate school entrance exams, she felt sorry that he had no job or income. She was the one paying the rent all by herself!

And now.

All she got in return was, "Why have you become so materialistic?"

"Are you treating me like an ATM?"

Chen Yun's heart shattered. Holding back her pain, she composed herself and forced a smile at Gu Sang. "Sang, come sit down."
