Cotton barked repeatedly beside Yu Lian, reminding her that the phone was ringing.

But Yu Lian, engrossed in her studies, had no time to pay attention to the cotton.

Having caused such huge losses to the company in areas she didn't understand, Yu Lian is now like a dried-up well.

When it encounters fresh water, it desperately tries to draw it in.

The person who solves the problem lives right across the hall.

Since Li Yanshen didn't mind her bothering him, she would ask him questions every now and then.

Yu Lian would also write down any problems she encountered or couldn't solve during the process, and then ask Li Yanshen for advice after get off work.

Li Yanshen always answered her questions with great enthusiasm.

In just a few visits, Yu Lian discovered many of Li Yanshen's strengths.

He is not only a highly professional in the field, but also a gifted mentor.

Students like her who grasp concepts quickly often need teachers like Li Yanshen who don't waste words.

In the process of seeking advice from Li Yanshen, Yu Lian often brought him some medicine.

Li Yanshen recovered at an extremely fast speed, which was visible to the naked eye.

"You've been doing well lately? Have you gone to the hospital for a follow-up checkup?"

Towards the end of their discussion, Yu Lian didn't continue the conversation in depth, but instead inquired about his condition.

"Cough cough... It's alright. The doctor said it's under control for now, but I can't do any strenuous exercise and I need to rest."

"It might be the medicine you gave me that's working, thank you. Helping you is helping myself, so you don't need to feel like you're troubling me..."

Yu Lian could sense Li Yanshen's loneliness from his words.

She lost both her parents and nearly lost her own sister, experiencing life and death.

Now that his brain is clear, he has been diagnosed with hemophilia.

Perhaps it was fate playing tricks on us.

His speech revealed him to be a talented young man.

Before he could even realize his ambitions, his life was handed over to the hospital. No one could accept that.

"Li Yanshen... why don't you buy a dog... I'm sorry, look what a terrible idea I came up with."

Yu Lian wanted to comfort Li Yanshen, but after she spoke, she realized what the problem was.

"Oh dear! Don't take it to heart. I'm usually quite smart, but I tend to freeze up when it comes to comforting people."

Li Yanshen smiled faintly and shook his head. His eyes, which were filled with dew, were half-closed as he looked at Yu Lian with a relaxed expression.

"It's alright, I don't mind. Right now, I can only take care of myself. I'll just check on the cotton occasionally."

"Hehe... I'm really sorry, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. Remember to take the medicine and supplements I gave you on time."

"Yes, I will."

Li Yanshen turned around, taking slow, deliberate steps forward.

He could feel the gaze of the person behind him, and it wasn't until the moment before the door closed that he was completely cut off from them.

Go back inside the house.

Li Yanshen poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down before panting heavily.

Then he bent over in pain, and before he could even take out his handkerchief, he spat out blood all over his hand.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

His cough echoed in the empty living room.

Li Yanshen took out a small blue bottle from his right pocket and poured the medicine into his mouth.

He calmly dealt with everything that happened to him.

After taking the medicine from the blue bottle, he struggled to get up and pick up the water from the paper bag.

Under the moonlight, the water shimmered faintly. Only these few bottles of water reflected the dim light shining into the courtyard outside.

This time, he found a comfortable place to sit down.

He threw the blood-stained shirt on the ground.

At this moment, Li Yanshen was sitting on the floor with his shirt off, leaning against the armrest of the sofa.

He slowly raised the glass bottle in his right hand; inside was water with not a single impurity visible.

But Yu Lian kept feeding it into his mouth.

Li Yanshen's keen insight told him that this was no ordinary water.

But it tastes exactly the same as regular mineral water.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was a new product developed and released by Yu Lian's company.

From then on, he stopped thinking about it; prying into other people's secrets is not a good habit.

Before I could recover, I heard a series of light footsteps behind me.

Until a thick stack of documents was thrown on the floor next to him.

The rising wind brushed against his arm, a cool sensation seeping into his body.

Li Yanshen then slowly raised his head and glanced at the person standing behind the sofa.

"The time your boss gave you is almost up. When are you going to give me the results?"

"It's not time yet, what's the rush?"

Li Yanshen's tone suddenly turned cold, carrying an inexplicable hostility.

"Hopefully, you had the same mindset when you got the antidote. It's not too late to come back when you're about to die."

The other party was like a drowning dog, clinging desperately to the last weed on the bank.

They left the other party no room for maneuver whatsoever.

"By the way, don't even think about turning that woman away. I believe Mr. Li wouldn't do something like an ant trying to shake a tree."

After leaving a bottle of medicine, the other person left Li Yanshen's house without hesitation.

The door was not closed, and the night breeze lifted the thin gauze curtains. Just as Li Yanshen was about to become numb, he slowly stood up and walked step by step to the door to close it.

After tidying up everything on the floor, I lay down on the bed as if relieved.

……

When Li Yanshen opened his eyes again, he stared at the pale ceiling, his ears filled with the sounds of medical equipment.

The smell of disinfectant made him realize where he was.

The moment he regained consciousness, Li Yanshen quickly went through his mind to see if he had tidied everything up before he closed his eyes last night.

After confirming that he had not left any trace, he slowly relaxed his body, and pain took over his mind instead of reason.

Li Yan took a few deep breaths, and when he opened his eyes again, Yu Lian and Grandpa Chen were standing by his bedside looking at him.

"You're awake? How come you're an adult kicking off the covers so late at night? You had a fever and were hospitalized. The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days."

Li Yanshen blinked; he didn't even have the strength to move.

"The doctor said I can't eat yet. We'll hear what the doctor has to say once my test results are normal."

Grandpa Chen stood at the foot of the bed, looking at Li Yanshen with concern.

Yu Lian felt relieved for Li Yanshen, at least he wasn't all alone during his most difficult time.

"I have to go now because I have something to do at the company. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Chen."

Grandpa Chen stood up and saw Yu Lian off.

Just as the footsteps were about to disappear, Li Yanshen said anxiously, "If any more problems arise at work, come directly to the hospital to see me."

Yu Lian and Grandpa Chen stopped in their tracks at the same time.

Yu Lian responded to the voice inside, then quickly left.

Grandpa Chen turned around and walked back into the ward. He glanced at Li Yanshen but said nothing. He then bent down and gave him the medicine he would need to take later.

At 10:30 a.m., Yu Lian returned to the company and met the person she least wanted to see.

He Xun's leather shoes were polished to a shine, and Yu Lian noticed the flamboyant man from afar.

Upon seeing Yu Lian, He Xun excitedly walked towards her.

Sensing something was wrong, Yu Lian didn't move, but watched He Xun warily in the distance.

His laughter echoed in the lobby on the first floor, sounding eerie.
