I remembered! It's that time of the month, and Li Meng must have already left.
Lan Ruo Yi's voice trembled slightly; she could hardly believe that the person who had been reminding them all along was now gone. Her eyes revealed an indescribable sorrow, as if she were struggling to accept this painful reality.
Liu Ru Yan sensed something was off. Earlier, Liu Yuchuan had mentioned that she had left, but it didn't seem to refer to Li Meng's departure. Had she left before the New Year? Liu Ru Yan tried hard to recall more details, but the specifics in her memory became increasingly blurred, leaving her with only a vague sense of the situation. Moreover, every time she attempted to think deeply about it, a headache would ensue.
Liu Ru Yan's complexion suddenly turned pale, prompting Lan Ruo Yi to quickly support her. "Don't think about it anymore."
"Yi Yi, what's happening to me?" Liu Ru Yan felt a growing concern for her own health. She feared that before they reached the day they expected both of them would perish, she might not be able to hold on any longer.
"Xiao Yan, you have to believe me; I think this might actually be a good thing." Although Lan Ruo Yi felt uneasy about the situation herself, she couldn't voice those thoughts. As Liu Ru Yan's friend, she understood that what Liu Ru Yan needed now was confidence and hope, not an added psychological burden.
While she knew Liu Ru Yan wasn't that fragile, Lan Ruo Yi felt weak herself. She couldn't imagine how she would get through life without Liu Ru Yan by her side.
"Alright, the New Year is coming soon. I hope this year will be different; we will have a happy New Year, right?"
Liu Ru Yan's words struck Lan Ruo Yi's heart like a knife, causing immense pain.
"Yes! We will definitely be happy this year." After reassuring Liu Ru Yan, Lan Ruo Yi returned to the previous topic. "After Li Meng's departure, this will be our first New Year together. Once we get through this year, everything will be alright."
"Hmm... but I feel like what my uncle said about her leaving isn't quite the same as our departure," Liu Ru Yan expressed her thoughts.
Lan Ruo Yi's expression grew complicated. "Should we ask then?" As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, and time began to flow again.
Xie Yichang felt a slight soreness in his eyes but merely wanted to close them for a moment of rest; surely that wouldn't lead to any pain.
Liu Yuchuan looked at Lan Ruo Yi's fingers and asked, "Are you showing off that you can snap your fingers?"
Lan Ruo Yi replied, "Uncle, what do you mean by leaving?" Liu Ru Yan quickly turned to Liu Yuchuan for clarification. If they continued down this topic, who knew what unpredictable events might unfold.
Liu Yuchuan smiled at them and said, "Leaving sometimes is for a better return."
Mo Daowan also curiously lifted his head. He noticed that Liu Ru Yan's hand had become warm, no longer carrying the chill that came with the liquid entering her body.
They all fell silent, contemplating the meaning of his words. Leaving is for a better return? What about Li Meng's departure—what was that for?
He looked up and saw Liu Ru Yan's pale lips, recalling that her lip color hadn't seemed so pale earlier. Confused, he gently released her hand and poured a cup of hot water, tenderly bringing it to her lips.
Liu Ru Yan felt the warmth in her hand fade away, followed by a moist object touching her lips. She was slightly startled and looked down to see a cup of perfectly warm water, the edge of the cup held by long, healthy fingers tinged with a faint pink hue.
She couldn't help but admire in her heart: such beautiful hands must belong to someone with a good physique. Despite these thoughts, she maintained her composure and took a gentle sip of water before thanking him.
Meanwhile, Lan Ruo Yi frowned as she observed them but ultimately chose not to say much. After all, there were no unspeakable secrets being revealed at the moment; even if there were, they would likely be matters for after the New Year.
"Li Meng has resigned and gone back to her parents," Liu Yuchuan noted as he saw everyone truly starting to think about it. He quickly decided to stop being cryptic.
"Home?" Liu Ru Yan exclaimed in surprise, which startled Liu Yuchuan.
"Why are you shouting? Just speak normally," he said.
Liu Ru Yan needed a moment to gather her thoughts. She clearly remembered just getting off work; how could it feel like an entire lifetime had passed in less than half a day?
"To be precise, you were unconscious for an hour," Xie Yichang kindly reminded her.
Only then did Liu Ru Yan notice that it was already late outside. "Wait a moment, let me sort this out. Are you saying that you all stayed by my side while I was unconscious?"
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Liu Ru Yan seemed to just realize Xie Yichang's presence. What was he doing here? Was he looking for Liu Yuchuan?
Could it be that during the time she was unconscious, Liu Yuchuan had another argument with Xie Yichang? But that seemed unlikely.
"I'm here to see you." Xie Yichang was unaware of the unfamiliarity between him and Liu Ru Yan.
"Don't say that!" Liu Ru Yan instinctively waved her hand. She could tell that Xie Yichang had come to find her, but they were strangers to each other. She cast a pleading glance at Lan Ruo Yi for help.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yichang still didn't understand what he had said that could be misinterpreted.
"You two don't know each other yet. Saying that can easily lead to misunderstandings," Lan Ruo Yi stepped in to clarify for Liu Ru Yan.
"Exactly!" Liu Ru Yan quickly agreed.
