After breakfast at the hospital on the sixteenth, both Grandma Sun and Sun Jiaming urged Gu'er to leave.
Grandma Sun also knew about Gu'er's trip and was supportive. However, she reminded her several times to be careful. It didn't matter whether the business succeeded or failed; all that mattered was that she returned safely.
Gu'er reluctantly left the hospital room. She pushed the two hundred yuan that Sun Jiaming had pressed into her hand back to him. Grandma Sun needed money now more than ever, so she couldn't possibly take his.
"Be safe. I'll wait for you to come back."
Sun Jiaming's eyes were slightly red. He was heartbroken to see her go, but he couldn't ask her to stay.
Gu'er nodded at him and turned to go. Just as Sun Jiaming took a step to walk with her a little more, Gu'er suddenly spun around and hugged him. It was the first time she had ever initiated a hug with him.
After a moment of shock, Sun Jiaming hugged Gu'er tightly.
