After lunch, Fu Shinian changed his clothes and went downstairs again. Xu Yansu was standing by the window making a phone call. Seeing him dressed as if he were about to go out, she immediately hung up and walked over, asking with concern,
"Are you going out?"
Fu Shinian gave her a faint glance:
"What? Do you have to inquire about me going out now?"
"That's not what I meant. I just think that with your current state, it isn't very safe for you to go out alone. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"Instead of having the time to accompany me going out, you'd better spend it figuring out how to get me and the old lady back in good health as soon as possible."
After saying that, Fu Shinian left on his own. Xu Yansu watched his retreating figure. Even though she really wanted to know where he was going, she ultimately didn't follow. She liked Fu Shinian, but she also clearly knew that she had no place in his heart.
