But Li Yan couldn't go against Gu Tingyan's wishes, so she could only obediently stay at home.
then.
Whenever she had time, Li Yan would message Duan Yujing, exchanging greetings and sharing their lives.
That brief message, like warm sunshine, illuminated Li Yan's boring days.
Perhaps it's because Duan Yujing is so much like the man Li Yan longs for, that she can't help but send messages in a girlish tone.
"Yujing, what are you doing? I'm about to suffocate."
"Just hang in there a little longer. Once you're better, I'll take you out to play." Duan Yujing carefully replied to every message from Li Yan.
Looking at Duan Yujing's reply, Li Yan smiled and felt a warm current welling up in her heart.
However, for several days now, Gu Tingyan has not allowed Li Yan to go out.
He was worried that Li Yan's body had not fully recovered and feared that she would be hurt again.
"Mom, just wait a little longer. Once you're fully recovered, I'll take you wherever you want to go," Gu Tingyan said with concern and worry.
Li Yan could only nod reluctantly.
After Gu Tingyan left, Li Yan lay on the sofa, feeling like she was about to suffocate.
Finally, while Gu Tingyan was busy with work, Li Yan quietly slipped out.
Outside, sunlight streams down like a golden veil, and a gentle breeze, like tender fingers, caresses the face, carrying a refreshing scent—a gift from nature.
Li Yan took a deep breath, the fresh air flowing into her nostrils like sweet spring water, and exclaimed, "The air outside is so much fresher."
She strolled around with light steps.
As she walked, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Li Yan's line of sight—Gu Suiwan.
She was working at a bubble tea shop when a man maliciously harassed her.
Gu Suiwan's face was slightly pale, and with tears of grievance in her eyes, she reluctantly bowed and apologized.
Li Yan's heart tightened suddenly, and she strode forward without hesitation.
"What are you doing? What kind of skill is it to bully a little girl?"
She shielded Gu Suiwan behind her, her voice clear and powerful, carrying an undeniable aura.
Those who were making things difficult for Gu Suiwan were slightly taken aback when they saw Li Yan, and then showed a disdainful expression.
"Who are you? Mind your own business," the man said nonchalantly.
Li Yan slightly raised her chin: "Who I am is not important, what's important is that you can't bully her, otherwise..."
She deliberately left it blank, giving the man a threatening look.
Li Yan exudes an air of nobility, and men can sense that they cannot afford to offend her.
So he slunk away like a dog with its tail between its legs.
Li Yan turned around, looked at Gu Suiwan gently, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Her voice was gentle and kind, like a wind chime swaying softly in a breeze.
Gu Suiwan looked up at Li Yan, her eyes glistening with tears: "Sister, I'm fine. Thank you for today."
Li Yan gently patted Gu Suiwan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Suiwan, family is very important. Unless there's a life-or-death conflict, don't make things too ugly. Otherwise, you'll regret it when you lose them."
A hint of melancholy flickered in her eyes, like autumn leaves falling, carrying a touch of sadness.
Gu Suiwan's heart stirred slightly upon hearing Li Yan's words.
She slowly lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "I will study hard, try to get good grades, and go back with my report card to slap my two older brothers in the face."
Li Yan smiled slightly, a look of relief in her eyes.
