“Now that Ningxue is married, I can finally relax. It’s only Ninglu and you that I can’t rest easy about,” Mr. Shen said seriously to Mrs. Shen.

"Don't overthink it, get some rest," Mrs. Shen said, looking at Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen, seeing Mrs. Shen's expression, didn't say anything more. Instead, he said to Mrs. Shen, "Go check on Ninglu, see if anything's wrong with her." Mrs. Shen immediately nodded in agreement and went to see Shen Ninglu.

"Let me help you." Mrs. Shen went over and helped Shen Ninglu make the bed. Then she helped Shen Ninglu wash her face.

"You go to sleep first, Mom is going back to her room," said Mrs. Shen after helping Shen Ninglu get ready. She then hurried back to her own room. Upon returning, Mrs. Shen immediately helped Mr. Shen to bed, and then tidied herself up before lying down as well.

So tonight is over.

The next morning, after waking up, Mrs. Shen made breakfast as usual. Breakfast was ready quickly, and Mrs. Shen went back to her room to call Mr. Shen to come and eat. She called several times, but received no answer from Mr. Shen.

Suddenly, Mrs. Shen realized something was wrong and rushed to Mr. Shen's side, only to find that he had stopped breathing. Mrs. Shen collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shen's mother's loud crying woke up Shen Ninglu, who was fast asleep in the room. So Shen Ninglu ran in. When Shen Ninglu came in, she saw her mother sitting on the floor crying, and then saw her father lying motionless on the bed. She covered her head and screamed.

At this moment, Shen's mother thought Shen Ninglu was about to go crazy again, but she was too weak to care about Shen Ninglu anymore, so she ignored her. Shen Ninglu slowly stopped screaming and then walked back to her mother's side.

"Mom," Shen Ninglu called softly.

"Ninglu, you... you're all better." Upon hearing this, Shen's mother exclaimed in surprise. "Yes. I'm all better," Shen Ninglu replied softly, then looked at Shen's father's body.

“Ninglu, your father…” Shen’s mother said, her voice trembling.

"Mom, be strong. Dad would never want to see us like this," Shen Ninglu said, hugging her mother.

"Your dad chatted with me yesterday, and I even urged him to get some rest. He must have had a lot to say to me. I didn't even give him a chance to finish," Mrs. Shen said in a rambling tone.

"Mom, it's not your fault," Shen Ninglu said comfortingly. After saying that, Shen Ninglu immediately added, "Mom, don't cry anymore, call your sister." At this moment, Shen's mother took out her phone and dialed Li Lili's number.

At this moment, Li Lili was already up preparing breakfast for Chen Ling. "Hello, Mom, what's wrong? Why are you calling me so early?" Li Lili asked Shen's mother, puzzled. At this moment, Li Lili was still wondering what urgent matter Shen's mother might have.

"Ningxue, your father..." Shen's mother trembled and couldn't finish her sentence.

"Mom, what happened to Dad?" Li Lili asked excitedly.

"Your father... he's gone." After saying this, Mrs. Shen burst into tears again. She then hung up the phone. Li Lili, who was holding a plate to serve food, dropped the plate upon hearing the devastating news.

"Mom, Mom, Mom! You..." Li Lili cried out, holding her phone.

At that moment, Chen Ling heard Li Lili's voice, so he quickly got up from the bed and ran to Li Lili. He asked anxiously, "Ningxue, what happened?" Chen Ling looked at the broken plate on the ground and at Li Lili's distraught appearance, and asked in a very anxious tone.

"Quick, take me home!" Li Lili said to Chen Ling, snapping out of her daze.

Chapter 311 A Life of Tumultuous Changes

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling immediately understood what had happened. He quickly turned off the engine and rushed over with Li Lili. Chen Ling drove very fast. "Ningxue, if you're sad, just cry it out," Chen Ling said, his heart aching for Li Lili.

"I'm fine," Li Lili said, forcing a smile. Chen Ling, however, didn't say anything more. He simply focused on driving, not speaking to Li Lili. Soon, Chen Ling and Li Lili arrived at Li Lili's house. Upon arriving, Li Lili immediately ran to Shen's father's room. When Chen Ling and Li Lili entered the room, Shen's mother and Shen Ninglu were still sitting on the floor.

Li Lili looked at her father lying on the bed, feeling extremely sad. She forced back her tears and walked to his room, repeatedly calling out, "Dad." Then her mother started crying again. Li Lili could no longer hold back her tears.

Li Lili was seen crying loudly beside Shen's father's bed. At that moment, Chen Ling's tears also flowed. He then left Shen's father's room, went to the living room, and took out his phone to call his father. As soon as the call connected, Chen Ling immediately said, "Dad, Mom and I need to come over here again. Something happened at Ningxue's family."

Upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Mr. Shen immediately understood what she meant, and quickly said, "Okay, okay. Your mother and I will be right there." Then he hung up the phone.

After finishing his phone call, Chen Ling returned to Mr. Shen's room. He saw Li Lili talking to Mr. Shen continuously. Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Chen arrived, and Chen Ling opened the door, leading them to Mr. Shen's room.

Afterwards, Chen Ling took charge of the family affairs and sent Mr. Shen to be cremated. After all the funeral arrangements were completed, Chen Ling said, "Let's go, Mom, let's go home." "No need, I'll go back with Ninglu," Mrs. Shen said weakly.

"Mom, you should stay here. I've already bought Ningxue's house, so you and Ninglu can stay here," Chen Ling advised.

“Mom, please stay. I can take care of you,” Li Lili said to Shen’s mother. Shen’s mother looked at Shen Ninglu again and nodded. Just then, Chen’s father said, “Come on, let’s go back and eat something. People need food to survive; you’ll get hungry if you skip a meal. Taking care of your health is the most important thing.” As he spoke, Chen’s father prepared to leave.

So Chen Ling and the others returned to Li Lili's house. Once inside, Li Lili said, "Mom, you all rest for a bit, I'll go cook." However, upon hearing Li Lili's words, Shen's mother suppressed her emotions and said, "I'll come over too." Chen's mother also wanted to help, but Chen's father stopped her, saying, "Let them find something to do; that will be better."

So Chen's mother stopped and sat down. Then she heard Chen Ling ask Shen Ninglu, "Ninglu, you've fully recovered, haven't you?" Shen Ninglu just nodded blankly at Chen Ling.

"Your sister and I will take you for a full check-up tomorrow," Chen Ling continued. However, Shen Ninglu, who was standing nearby, simply said, "Thank you."

Shen Ninglu was also deeply saddened. She never expected to see such a thing upon regaining consciousness. She hadn't recovered from the shock all day. Chen Ling, seeing Shen Ninglu's expression, knew she must be feeling terrible, so he didn't say anything more and simply sat quietly in the living room.

Li Lili quickly finished preparing the meal. Then, Shen's mother came over and called for dinner. Upon hearing this, Chen's mother rushed to the kitchen to help.

"This cooking is really good, it smells so good!" Mrs. Chen said, deliberately trying to start a conversation. Immediately after Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Chen Ling's voice was heard, praising Mrs. Shen and Li Lili's cooking as well. However, Li Lili and Mrs. Shen didn't show any expression. So, the atmosphere during the meal was quite awkward.

They finished their meal quickly. Li Lili then hurried over to wash the dishes, while the rest of the group returned to the living room. However, sitting in the living room all the time wasn't a good idea.

Then they heard Mr. Chen say, "Chen Ling, if there's nothing else here, your mother and I will head back first. We live far away, and it's getting late. We should go home."

Upon hearing his father's words, Chen Ling quickly replied, "Okay."

Afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Chen said goodbye to Mrs. Shen. Then, Chen Ling and Li Lili saw Mr. and Mrs. Chen to the door and went back inside.

"It's getting late, you should go back first," said Mrs. Shen as she looked at Chen Ling and Li Lili as they entered.

"Mom, I'm not going back today," Li Lili said calmly.

"No need, Ninglu is here too. We're fine here. You and Chen Ling just got married, so go back first," Shen's mother said again.

So Li Lili looked up at Chen Ling beside her, and then said, "Alright then." Then she heard Chen Ling's instructions.

Chen Ling then said, "Mom, if anything happens, just call us." Mrs. Shen nodded. Afterwards, Chen Ling and Li Lili prepared to go home.

After Chen Ling and Li Lili came out, Chen Ling grabbed Li Lili's hand and gently said to her, "You still have me." After saying that, Chen Ling pulled Li Lili along and strode forward. However, at that moment, Li Lili looked up at Chen Ling. Although she didn't say anything, she thought to herself: Thank goodness he's here.

Chen Ling drove slowly, wanting Li Lili to enjoy the scenery. "Let's go for a drive," Chen Ling said, looking at Li Lili. "Okay," Li Lili replied, turning to look at Chen Ling. Then she turned her head back to look out the window. The evening breeze truly had a soothing effect; Li Lili closed her eyes, letting the wind blow through her, and her mood quickly calmed down.

But no matter how slowly they drove, they were eventually heading home. Before they knew it, they were home. "How about I walk with you for a bit?" Chen Ling said, turning to Li Lili after parking the car.

Chapter 312 A Different Breakfast

Chen Ling and Li Lili strolled hand in hand downstairs in the residential area. They stayed there quietly for a long, long time. Finally, Li Lili said to Chen Ling, "I feel much better now, let's go home."

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling immediately took her back without hesitation. The winter night was truly frigid. He had been worried about Li Lili's health for some time.

After returning home, Chen Ling quickly poured Li Lili a glass of hot water, and then said, "I'll go cook Nu a bowl of noodles."

Just as Chen Ling was about to leave, Li Lili went up and took his hand. Then she gently said to him, "Don't go. I'm fine. I'll be alright with some water."

Seeing this, Chen Ling looked down at Li Lili beside him before sitting down again. Then Li Lili took Chen Ling's hand and began to tell him about her childhood, one little thing after another, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep on Chen Ling's shoulder.

So Chen Ling carried Li Lili back to bed, took off her shoes, and prepared to sleep. The next day, Chen Ling woke up very early, the first time he had ever woken up earlier than Li Lili. After getting up, Chen Ling tiptoed to the kitchen, intending to cook Li Lili a bowl of porridge.

But Chen Ling had no idea how to cook. He smashed several bowls with a loud crash, waking Li Lili, who was sleeping in the room. Hearing the noise, Li Lili rushed to the kitchen in a panic. "What are you doing?" Li Lili looked at Chen Ling's expression and couldn't help but laugh, then began to speak.

"I...I saw you were still sleeping, so I wanted to make you breakfast," Chen Ling said hesitantly, turning to look at Li Lili. Li Lili took a few steps forward until she stood beside Chen Ling.

Then she patted Chen Ling on the shoulder and said, "Alright, go back and get some more sleep. I'll do it." "No need, you can just guide me from the side," Chen Ling said stubbornly. So Li Lili stopped arguing with Chen Ling and listened to him, standing aside to guide him.

Just then, Li Lili was amused by Chen Ling's clumsy attempts. She knew Chen Ling wasn't a good cook; in fact, she knew he had no talent for it. Seeing his somewhat awkward cooking style, she felt even more gratified. She knew this boy was changing for her sake, doing things he wasn't good at. Li Lili watched Chen Ling for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him.

Li Lili nestled against Chen Ling's back. Seeing her so affectionate, clinging figure, Chen Ling's heart melted. He turned to look at her and continued making breakfast as she had instructed. With Li Lili's help, Chen Ling's breakfast-making speed increased, and he finished in no time. Even then, Li Lili remained close to Chen Ling.

"Sweetie, let's eat breakfast first," Chen Ling said gently to Li Lili as he turned around. Li Lili looked up at Chen Ling after hearing this.

Then she said, "Then carry me over." After saying that, Li Lili started snuggling against Chen Ling again. So Chen Ling immediately picked her up and carried her towards the bedroom.

Upon seeing Chen Ling's actions, Li Lili panicked and cried out to him, "I was wrong, I was wrong, please put me down, let's go eat. The food will get cold soon."

"It's too late to admit your mistake now," Chen Ling thought to himself. What did this little girl do wrong? He had no idea. But whether she was wrong or not, it was too late to say anything now. After hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili gave up resisting, thinking to herself that it was all her fault for being too naughty.

Back in the room, Chen Ling gently placed Li Lili on the bed and then said to her, "Let's skip breakfast and have some spiritual nourishment instead." After saying that, Chen Ling kissed Li Lili.

So the two of them started being affectionate early in the morning and stayed so for quite a while.

"Phew," Li Lili let out a long breath.

"Are you still having breakfast?" Chen Ling asked Li Lili mischievously.

"Eat up, I'm hungry." Li Lili pouted at Chen Ling, then got out of bed and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, Chen Ling walked over to the kitchen and asked, "Ningxue, how does it taste?"

Chen Ling saw Li Lili eating the breakfast he had made and then said, "Hmm, not bad, worthy of praise." After hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili savored the food for a moment before replying.

Upon hearing Li Lili's praise, Chen Ling cheered like a child. Then he continued, "Then you should have more; you've lost weight these past few days." As he spoke, Chen Ling patted Li Lili's head.

"Okay, I understand. You should eat quickly too," Li Lili said slowly, looking up at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling and Li Lili quickly finished breakfast. Then Chen Ling said, "Let me take you home to see the world." Upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili immediately nodded.

"Let's take Ninglu to the hospital for a full check-up today," Chen Ling said to Li Lili again. Upon hearing this, Li Lili patted Chen Ling on the head.

Then he turned to Chen Ling and said, "It's the Lunar New Year, the hospital should be closed, right?"

"No, there will be doctors on duty at the hospital. Just make a phone call and ask Ninglu's attending physician," Chen Ling said casually.

Then Li Lili said, "Okay."

Then Chen Ling called Li Lili's attending physician. The doctor answered the phone and told Chen Ling, "You will be working as usual during the Spring Festival."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling felt relieved. He then hung up the phone and said to Li Lili, "It's all settled, let's go."

Chen Ling, holding Li Lili's hand, prepared to rush to her home. Even after getting into the car, Chen Ling was still talking about Shen Ninglu. "Ninglu only regained consciousness this time because of the shock. I'm worried about her health; what if something bad happens to her again?" Chen Ling explained his panic to Li Lili.

Chapter 313 Back to Normal 1

Chen Ling's kindness towards Li Lili's family extended to her, which made Li Lili very happy. Seeing Chen Ling treat Shen Ninglu like his own younger sister, even more anxious than herself, made Li Lili feel very reassured. It has to be said that Chen Ling gave her a great sense of security.

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili didn't thank him again. She knew that Chen Ling had already done so much for her, and a simple "thank you" couldn't repay that. Li Lili pondered how she could ever repay Chen Ling's kindness.

So Li Lili stared blankly at Chen Ling. Just then, Chen Ling turned to look at Li Lili again and said, "Hey, I'm talking to you, why aren't you responding?"

However, after Chen Ling interrupted her thoughts, Li Lili asked in surprise, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Chen Ling was amused by Li Lili's adorable dazedness, and then muttered to himself, "Never mind, it's nothing."

“I also feel that Ninglu’s condition is not very stable. I’m relieved to be able to go for a full check-up with her today.” Li Lili did not continue Chen Ling’s words, but started talking on her own.

"Yes, we'll be relieved once the test results come back and say she's fine," Chen Ling agreed. Chen Ling and Li Lili shared the same opinion; they were both worried about Shen Ninglu's emotional state. If she wasn't emotionally stable, something unexpected might happen again, and they were quite surprised that she had recovered so inexplicably. It was good news, but they were still a little uneasy.

“Ninglu is better, but I’m worried about Mom’s health. Dad’s passing was a huge blow to her, and I’m afraid something might happen to her. Also, if Ninglu recovers, will she continue going to school?” Li Lili said, rubbing her head.

There are still many issues to consider, and Li Lili, as the older sister, needs to make decisions. Upon hearing Li Lili's question, Chen Ling said to her, "Don't worry too much. If Ninglu recovers, she'll definitely have a plan for the future. As for Mom, she seemed alright yesterday; she's probably already accepted it. Or perhaps she already knew." Chen Ling said earnestly, recalling yesterday's events.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili seemed to have thought of something. She then said, "Let's ask her later."

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past. Don't reopen old wounds for Mom. Besides, this is a good thing," Chen Ling advised Li Lili.

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili didn't say anything more. She then turned to look out the window. At that moment, Chen Ling glanced at Li Lili out of the corner of his eye before focusing on driving. A short while later, Chen Ling and Li Lili arrived at Shen's mother's place.

As Chen Ling and Li Lili entered, they saw Shen's mother holding Shen Ninglu's hand, sitting on the sofa. Neither of them spoke, just sat quietly. Li Lili felt a pang of heartache seeing Shen's mother's blank expression. So she softly asked, "Mom, have you had breakfast yet?" Before Li Lili could finish speaking, Shen Ninglu shook her head.
