The phone was getting hot from the conversation, and if it weren't so late, Xu Nianhua wouldn't have wanted to hang up.
Back in bed, Xu Nianhua hugged the quilt, a sweet smile lingering on her lips.

"Xiaoxi, how about we learn some self-defense?" Xu Nianhua suggested to Su Xi on the way to the hospital.
"Okay." Su Xi nodded without hesitation, then, looking a bit uncertain, she asked Xu Nianhua, "Nianhua, won't it be too tiring? I get out of breath just from running, can I really learn it well?"
"Let's give it a try." Xu Nianhua proposed, "We don't have to learn it too well, just a few moves to handle others, what do you think?"
"That sounds good."
Su Xi nodded repeatedly, just about to bring up Wa Lei, when Xu Nianhua said, "Don't say it's because of you; this was just unforeseeable misfortune. It's Wa Lei who's too much, it has nothing to do with you."
