Seeing that his pants were about to be pulled down by his stepmother, Qin Chuan's rationality still prevailed.

The stepmother had suffered the destruction of her flower shop today and was surely in a bad mood.

Now he wanted her to help him vent.

Was he still human?

Qin Chuan quickly tightened his belt and then got up to go to the bathroom: "Aunt Mei, I'll wash my face first, please wait for me a moment."

After speaking, he fled the stepmother's room as if he were escaping a disaster.

Seeing this scene, the stepmother's gaze visibly dimmed slightly.

"Alas... I'm older now, can't compare to those young girls."

The stepmother lowered her head and glanced at her own figure, feeling a vague sense of anxiety.

After a while, Qin Chuan returned.

He was noticeably calmer now.

Then, he went back to the bed to continue massaging his stepmother.

He could obviously feel that the stepmother's emotions weren't as intense as the previous evenings.

"It seems the massage is working."

Qin Chuan thought, without pondering too much.

After finishing the massage for his stepmother, he returned to his room to get some clothes for a bath and rest.

But he didn't realize that after he left, his stepmother remained in a state of depression.

Silent as the night.

The next morning, everything seemed back to normal.

Yet, for some reason, Qin Chuan felt a layer of estrangement between himself and his stepmother.

Though the stepmother was still very enthusiastic and caring towards him.

But in her eyes, it seemed like something was missing.

Qin Chuan thought she had noticed something, and he felt a slight unease.

With this anxious feeling, Qin Chuan arrived at the school.

"Brother Chuan…"

Getting off the bus, he saw Su Qian's figure at the bus stop.

"What are you doing here? Are you heading out?" Qin Chuan asked subconsciously.

"Seeing you're okay, it really makes me relieved."

Su Qian sniffled, ran into Qin Chuan's arms, and hugged him tightly.

"You… you were waiting for me?"

Qin Chuan was a bit stunned.

Su Qian didn't speak, just silently nodded, and then began to sob.

"I was so scared. Uncle Feng even confiscated my phone last night, I couldn't contact you…" Su Qian cried with pitiful tears.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but pat her back gently to comfort her.

Then, he briefly talked about what happened last night.

Of course, he didn't mention the part about Shi Qing.

"You still need to be careful, those Red Dragon Association people are capable of anything."

Su Qian expressed her concern and did not forget to say, "I'll keep an eye on Xixi for you, no one will hurt her with me around."

"Thank you."

Qin Chuan smiled, and then let Su Qian hold his arm as they walked into the campus together.

After yesterday's events, he was no longer as resistant to Su Qian.

In fact, he vaguely felt Su Qian was somewhat pitiful.

He wondered what had happened to her.

From last night's conversation between Feng Xiyang and Xiang Jinghui, she seemed to have some connection with the Silver Fox Commerce Association.

Qin Chuan wanted to ask, but Su Qian interrupted: "Brother Chuan, you don't need to worry about me, I'm doing well."

A vibrant smile hid a kind of stubbornness.

It seemed to be her last stand.

Qin Chuan didn't pry further, after all, everyone has their secrets.

Afterward, Qin Chuan went to class.

The morning had two long classes, each lasting one and a half hours, with a ten-minute break in between. Once the classes were over, it was already noon.

Qin Chuan went alone to the dining hall.

On the way, he encountered the cool and reserved girl from the Martial Arts Club, Gu Yu.

Qin Chuan politely nodded at her.

Gu Yu looked hurried, and when she saw Qin Chuan, she suddenly hesitated.

Then she seemed to remember something and quickly left without even greeting Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan smacked his lips, feeling like he was met with a cold response.

However, he was too lazy to dwell on it. Eating was the biggest priority.

Meanwhile, Gu Yu rushed to the school gate and got into a black business car.

"How's grandfather's situation?"

As soon as she got in the car, Gu Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Not good, he started coughing after taking medicine in the morning, and I saw symptoms of coughing blood,"

The driver's expression was grave: "He fainted twice and hadn't awoken when I left."

"Has Grandpa Jiang arrived?" Gu Yu asked anxiously.

The driver nodded: "Grandpa Jiang had just arrived when I left. Before that, a Western doctor came to check and said old Mr. Gu's heart and lung functions have failed, beyond recovery."

Hearing this, a deeply serious look climbed onto Gu Yu's usually calm face.

Half an hour later, the phone stopped the car in front of a traditional Chinese-style yard.

A plaque reading 'Gu's Martial Arts Hall' was hung over the yard's gate.

Gu Yu quickly walked inside.

In a while, she reached the backyard.

The yard was filled with people wearing white martial arts uniforms.

These were all members of Gu's Martial Arts Hall.

At this moment, every face was marked with a solemn expression.

"Young Miss."

Seeing Gu Yu, the crowd's expressions grew even more complex.

"Where's Grandpa Jiang?" Gu Yu immediately asked.

"Grandpa Jiang is inside diagnosing old Mr. Gu." someone replied.

Gu Yu nodded and gently opened the door.

In the room, an old man over seventy was focused intently on inserting silver needles into old Mr. Gu lying on the bed.

Soon, old Mr. Gu's body was covered in silver needles like a hedgehog.

Gu Yu did not dare to disturb him. After the old man finished, she immediately stepped forward and asked: "Grandpa Jiang, my grandpa…"

The elderly Jiang Shutong shook his head: "An old hidden ailment reappeared, I'm afraid…"

"Little… Little Yu…"

At that moment, old Mr. Gu opened his mouth. His voice was weak like a flickering lamp ready to go out at any moment.

"Grandpa…"

Gu Yu hurriedly went over.

"Don't be sad, when people age, this day always comes, cough cough cough…"

Every word old Mr. Gu uttered seemed to drain all his strength.

Gu Yu lowered her head, and tears silently fell from her eyes.

She tried hard to suppress it, fearing that her grandfather would see it and be saddened.

"In the future, live your life well even when you're alone."

Old Mr. Gu raised his arm with difficulty and gently ruffled Gu Yu's hair: "Don't dwell on your parents' past, let it go."

"As for this martial arts hall, keep it if you can, but don't force it. Once grandpa is gone, all those demons and ghosts will appear, so survival is most important."

"Alas… It's a pity, grandpa had hoped to see you marry, to see you… cough cough cough…"

Gu Yu cried like rain: "Grandpa, don't say anymore, rest well, you'll be okay, you'll live a long life."

"Cough cough cough… Remember after I'm gone, cough cough cough…"

Old Mr. Gu's body trembled, coughed a mouthful of bloody foam, which barely gave him breath: "It's a pity grandpa couldn't recruit that Qin lad, otherwise…"

Hearing this, Gu Yu suddenly remembered something.

Then Gu Yu wiped her tears, got up, and said to Jiang Shutong: "Grandpa Jiang, no matter what method you use, you must keep my grandpa alive until I return."

"At a time like this, where are you going? Little Yu, little…"

Gu Yu seemed unable to hear him, resolutely leaving, heading straight to Jiangcheng University.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan had already arrived at Jian Ya's dormitory.

As soon as he entered, Jian Ya couldn't wait to undress, actively welcoming him.

Near her physiological period, her desires were so immense that she wished to cling to Qin Chuan for twenty-four hours.

Qin Chuan felt helpless about this, really concerned about her health.

But Jian Ya evidently didn't want to miss the pleasures before her period: "It's a safe period now, no need to use anything, you'll feel good, and the teacher will too."

Saying this, she started to provocatively tease Qin Chuan.

The two kissed passionately from the doorway to the living room, and then from the living room to the bedroom.

In the end, Jian Ya pushed Qin Chuan onto the bed.

Eager Jian Ya guided herself, then sat directly down.
