The streetlights outside the door were turned on at the same time as the door was opened.

Li Yanshen stood at the door.

"Sister Yu Nian, would those medicines be okay? I accidentally bumped my knee and vomited a lot of blood."

As he spoke, he hurriedly reached out and used his sleeve to wipe the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that he was trembling all over, Yu Lian said directly, "There's no blood, don't worry about me not being able to see it."

"Come in and sit down. Let me look for you, but I'm not sure if there's any left."

Aside from the spiritual spring water, Yu Lian didn't actually have any of those pills on her hands.

The stockpiled goods kept at home for emergencies, along with those from the past few days, had all been given to Li Yanshen.

I told her a couple of days ago that I would go to the research institute again to tell her to leave her a copy.

I've been so busy these past few days that I completely forgot.

"Come in and wait, it might take me a while to find it."

Yu Lian invited him in again, but Li Yanshen didn't budge.

"Okay, then you can do it in the yard, okay? Stay with the cotton for a while. I forgot where I put it, so it will take some time. Don't worry."

After saying that, Yu Lian turned around, and He Lin stood there with his arms crossed at the entrance on the first floor.

It seemed as if she was scrutinizing Li Yanshen behind her.

I know He Lin's character well; he's prone to jealousy.

To avoid making Li Yanshen feel uncomfortable, Yu Lian pushed him back.

"Can't I stand at the door?"

"Sure, but not now. I know what you're thinking; they're just here to get their medicine."

He Lin felt uncomfortable seeing his wife busy with other men, but dared not speak out.

"I'll help you look for it."

Yu Lian looked up at the man beside her, wondering when he had become so magnanimous.

"Okay, but could you please get me a glass of water for Li Yanshen? I'll need to find the medicine for a while."

He Lin didn't say anything, got up and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water.

"Is it the water from that blue thermos?"

"Yes."

"That's fine, go ahead."

Yu Lian didn't know if the spiritual spring water would still work on Li Yanshen, but she hoped it would alleviate the pain as much as possible.

He Lin carried the water glass into the courtyard.

"Mr. He, there's no need for that trouble."

He Lin, looking displeased, didn't give Li Yanshen a friendly look.

"That's troublesome, but let's continue."

Li Yanshen's eyes were neither humble nor arrogant as he took the water glass and sipped it.

"Wasn't Mr. Li's illness said to be life-threatening? How come he's sitting here perfectly fine now?"

Li Yanshen paused in his drinking, slowly raising his head to look at the man towering over him.

"Mr. He, don't you know? It was Sister Yu Nian who brought me medicine when I was in the most danger, which is why I barely survived."

"Then how dare you bother her?"

Li Yanshen pursed his lips and placed the water glass on the bench beside him.

"Mr. He, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I want to live."

"Who knows if you're really sick, or if you're faking it to get close to my lover."

"Mr. He, you've misunderstood."

He Lin didn't want to say anything more. Before leaving, he warned, "Don't let me see you near my lover again. The first time I can give you a simple warning, but the second time don't blame me for being ruthless."

"By the way, you don't need to pretend to be pitiful in front of me, it's too tiring for me."

Just as He Lin turned to go inside, a cold laugh came from behind him.

"Mr. He, you don't need to be so aggressive. When you said those things, did you ever think about yourself? What kind of person am I? Just look in the mirror. After all, I'm sure I really am sick."

Li Yanshen stood up and looked straight at the man, who was about two arm's lengths away.

He Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, emanating a dangerous aura.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, since you've already told me to leave..."

"The medicine has been found!!"

While the two were locked in a stalemate, Yu Lian found the pills and came out from the inner room.

Li Yanshen looked behind He Lin.

"Sister Yu Nian, I'm so sorry to bother you two so late. It's really too presumptuous of me. I'll accept the medicine and won't trouble you again in the future. Thank you."

After taking the medicine from Yu Lian, Li Yanshen limped out.

Yu Lian didn't say anything to stop him, but gave He Lin beside her a deep look.

She locked the door after Li Yanshen returned home.

"He Lin, you..."

Thinking about his attitude towards the children, Yu Lian was filled with disappointment.

"He Lin, you can be so cold-blooded sometimes..."

Yu Lian's disappointed gaze pierced He Lin's heart.

But he still stuck to his opinion.

"I admit it, but you should calm down first. It's not worth it for an outsider to hurt our relationship."

"He Lin, let go. I need to calm down by myself. I don't want to argue with you in front of the children."

Yu Lian made it clear enough that continuing the stalemate would be futile, so He Lin slowly released her hand.

"Alright, stop looking so sad. I didn't mean to argue or give you the silent treatment. Go back to your room and sleep."

The rooms on the first floor were not cleaned, so Yu Lian went to her daughter's room.

He Ningxi, who was still counting stars, was quite surprised by her mother's sudden visit.

"Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"

"Okay, is that alright?"

"Of course, I'd be willing to sleep with my mom every day."

As soon as she lay down, He Ningxi snuggled into her mother's arms.

"Mom, are you in a bad mood?"

"It's not bad, it's just that I have a disagreement with your father. We can talk it out tomorrow during the day."

"Then I'll stand on Mom's side."

Yu Lian gently brushed a stray hair from his daughter's forehead, then sincerely asked, "Manman, do you think Daddy is a good daddy?"

He Ningxi felt that her parents were arguing because of what she and her older brother said.

He didn't dare to speak for a moment.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. Mom was just asking casually."

"Mom, if I could choose, I wouldn't want Dad, who only knows how to work."

Upon hearing the child's negative answer, Yu Lian didn't know how to react.

"I heard from my grandma and older brother that before my second brother, my youngest brother, and I were even born..."

I never expected my child to bring up the time when our whole family was sent to the countryside.

"I want to be with my mom and dad, to be close to them every day, just like my older brother said, to see my dad every day."

The child's wish was simple, not as complicated as An'an described.

It's tough on these kids; they've grown up and are only now making their own requests.

"Go to sleep. Mom promises you, you'll be able to see Dad every day soon."

Yu Lian didn't close her eyes that night.

She watched the children eat breakfast before going back to her room to catch up on sleep.

noon.

The first thing I did after getting up was to go across the street to check on Li Yanshen.

He Lin is, to a certain extent, a persistent and stubborn person.

She was afraid that Li Yanshen would be embarrassed if something like last night happened again.

After thinking it over, I decided to get his contact information myself, contact the research institute, and arrange for him to have it delivered to his door regularly.

I pressed the doorbell, and the door opened quickly from the inside.

It wasn't Li Yanshen who opened the door.

She was the only woman she had ever seen that night.

"You must be Miss Yu, right? Please come in."

Yu Lian was pulled into the courtyard without any warning.

It was different from what she expected, and different from what she knew.

There was no tense atmosphere, and the siblings seemed to have a good relationship.
