Gu Yuansheng clapped his hands. “Good! Well-said. It’s been decided! Brother Shen, I’ll be going now. Xiao Fang, give me a shout if you need my help. I’ll keep my phone with me.”

“Alright. You should get back to work.”

Fang Tongtong beamed at him.

Gu Yuansheng instantly felt the weight lift off his shoulders and turned to walk off.

Shen Zhilie still found it inappropriate and said, “You’d better go back. A single woman in seclusion with a man isn’t proper.”

“Why are you so full of bullsh*t? Are you even able to move about on your own? Alternatively, I can always call Qianqian over.”

That last statement had been aimed at Shen Zhilie’s Achilles’ heel.

Shen Zhilie pressed his lips together in a thin line and didn’t reply.

From that day onward, Fang Tongtong busied herself running errands.

After Ye Qianqian left for work in the mornings, Fang Tongtong would rush over to the hospital.

Fang Tongtong took care of everything, ranging from calling for food delivery, ensuring that his meals were nutritious, changing his ointment and dressing, to minute chores like pouring water for him.

Whenever Shen Zhilie needed to use the bathroom, he’d call for a buddy to help.

Only when evening came did Fang Tongtong slowly make her way home.

This routine kept up for four days.

The weekend came.

It was a rare occasion that Ye Qianqian didn’t sleep in on a weekend. Instead, she picked up her cellphone and scrolled through Weibo.

None of the content could hold her interest. She closed the page and opened her call log.

Ever since Shen Zhilie had returned to the Capital, they had had a total of 20 calls.

None of the calls had lasted more than 10 minutes.

More importantly, of those 10-minute calls, all of them had been made by Ye Qianqian.

Over the past few days, Shen Zhilie had never called her once.

The more Ye Qianqian thought about it, the more she was convinced that something was amiss.

Ye Qianqian sent him a text message. [Are you awake yet?]

There was no reply.

She checked the time. It was 8:30 a.m.

According to Shen Zhilie’s bio clock, he was usually awake at this hour.

Ye Qianqian decided to give him a call. Just as she dialed his number, she changed her mind before the phone began to ring.

Ye Qianqian disconnected the call and unhappily walked out.

Fang Tongtong emerged from the bathroom.

She had already changed into her going-out clothes and was no longer clad in pajamas.

Ye Qianqian was surprised. “Who are you going out with?”

“Eh... Ha-ha...” Fang Tongtong sounded a little discomfited, “I’m meeting an old schoolmate of mine that I haven’t seen in a long while.”

“Schoolmate? Who?”

“It’s not anyone you know.”

“Not anyone I know?” Ye Qianqian found that prospect odd. “Yeah, right! How would you have a schoolmate that I’m not familiar with?”

“Well... Ha-ha... Yeah. Well, when we were in university, you picked fewer electives than I did. That was when we got to know each other. You’ve never met the person before.”

Ye Qianqian found that strange. “I was going to ask you out for a movie with me. Is this ex-schoolmate of yours a guy or a girl? Please don’t tell me you’re dating!”

“Not at all! Oh my god. Dating really isn’t that simple! Anyway, I’m leaving now.” Ye Qianqian looked utterly defeated by Fang Tongtong’s next words. “You should take the opportunity to repay your sleep debt! You’ve been working overtime for the last few days. You should get a good rest.”

“When will you be back?”

“Probably at night.”

“Oh... You’ve been coming back pretty late at night lately. Have you been spending your time with this ex-schoolmate of yours? You leave early and return late. You won’t let me meet the person, yet you insist that you aren’t dating.” Ye Qianqian narrowed her eyes. “Tell me... What is your ex-schoolmate like?”

“Damn! You’re overthinking it! Scram! Give your man a phone call or something! Muah!” Fang Tongtong put on her shoes and rushed off.

Ye Qianqian sighed. “Even the age-old spinster has finally started to date. It’s the inescapable way of life!”
