Tang Yu got off the plane and went back to the villa.
When he got out of the car, a servant came out to carry his luggage. He walked into the villa without saying a word, expressionless, carrying a small cage in his hand.
The housekeeper directed people to send the luggage upstairs.
Sister Li leaned over to look behind Erye again and again, but the car had already driven back to the garage, and no one else got out of the car except Erye and Du Hui.
"Second Master, what's wrong with Miss..."
"Take good care of this little thing." Before he could even utter the words 'didn't come back', his conversation was abruptly interrupted.
Sister Li took the cage he handed over suspiciously, lifted the cloth and saw a white little rabbit curled up in the cage, looking listless.
Sister Li was even more puzzled. The young lady didn't come back, but brought back a pet. The second master was not someone who liked to keep pets.
He said nothing more, but walked upstairs. From his back, each step seemed to be unusually heavy. When he reached the upper floor and passed the second bedroom, he paused. After a moment's hesitation, he finally pushed the door open.
The room was empty.
The air seemed to still have her fragrance, which made him yearn for it, but also made him feel empty inside. All her things were still there, she hadn't taken anything with her, but... she was gone.
Maybe…
Never coming back.
Tang Yu collapsed powerlessly on the soft bed, the scent of the quilt enveloping him. He slowly closed his eyes, his eyelids covering the heavy depression and bitterness in his eye sockets.
Downstairs, Sister Li asked Du Hui, "Where's the young lady? Hasn't she come back yet?"
Du Hui sighed, "I guess he won't come back in the future."
Sister Li was shocked, "Why did it become like this again?"
"Didn't the Second Master want the young lady to give birth to a child for him? But I heard that all the medicines the young lady brought were for contraception. How could the Second Master tolerate such a thing? In the end, the two of them even threw away their wedding rings." Du Hui shook his head and sighed, "The young lady asked Miss Li to take her back to Country J. From now on, there is definitely no hope."
Sister Li felt very uncomfortable when she heard what Du Hui said. She prepared the medicine by herself, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to help.
But, young lady and gentleman, is there really no hope at all

An hour later, Tang Yu changed his clothes, came downstairs and went to the hospital to see Su Fengjin.
In the past few days, Su Fengjin's mood has calmed down a bit, but it is still not very stable. In just a short period of time, his complexion has been much worse than before.
Su Fengjin sat in a wheelchair, pushed by Tang Yu, and walked around the garden.
"When do you plan to go back?" Tang Yu asked his father Tang Yiming.
"The environment here is not suitable for her recuperation. I have already notified the doctor there, and the discharge procedures will be completed in the next few days."
Tang Yu nodded, "I will find time to come and see you guys."
Tang Yiming glanced at his son and asked, "How are you guys doing now? What are your plans for the future?"
He did not mention the word "Xingxing" for fear that Su Fengjin would lose control of her emotions if she heard it again. However, the father and son understood each other tacitly.
When asked about this, Tang Yu held the wheelchair with his hands slightly tighter, and after a long while he said quietly, "There is no future."
At least, not now.
Tang Yiming didn't seem surprised. "It's normal for her to be unable to let go. This kind of thing doesn't happen to you, so you can't empathize with it. So, it's hard to force her to do anything. It's just..."
He sighed, "We in the Tang family still owe her an explanation."
"Dad, let's not talk about her anymore." Tang Yu changed the subject calmly, "I'll take you to dinner."
———
Summer vacation is about to end, and Song Zhixing has been thinking about school. Li Qiming asked her to stay in Country J to study, but she didn't have such an idea.
The school she and Chen Cheng had applied for had already been accepted. Although that school was not in Judea, it was only a few hours' drive away, which was much better than being in Country J.
"Do you still want to go back there?" Li Qiming couldn't agree with her decision. "You and Tang Yu have no hope, why do you want to go back to that country?"
Song Zhixing, who was sitting at the dining table, tightened her chopsticks in her hand. She bit her lip and said after a while, "I have been admitted to that school, so I will study there. Besides, I don't know a word of the J country's language. If I want to study here, I have to start with the language. I am not used to the life here either."
"Are you not used to it or do you not want to get used to it?" Li Qiming looked at her, his eyes seemed to see through her, "Do you want to go back there to study, or do you think it's closer to Tang Yu?"
It was like stabbing the softest part of my heart.
Song Zhixing's breathing became much heavier. He pursed his lips, but couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
Li Qiming snorted, "Did I get it right?"
"… I have already decided that I will not stay in Country J." Song Zhixing took two mouthfuls of rice and said, "Grandpa, I am full. Please eat."
"If you really want to go back there, I won't pay a penny for your studies." Li Qiming stopped her.
Song Zhixing paused for a few seconds, but she was not shaken by his words. She had already prepared herself mentally that in the future, she could not and would not be a parasite like in the past, relying on anyone.
She walked upstairs. Li Qiming had completely lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks.
"Master, Master Chi is here." At this moment, the servant came in to report. Li Qiming looked up and saw Master Chi getting off the motorcycle. He was handsome and sunny. He came quite quickly. It seemed that he really cared about Xingxing.

Song Zhixing was thinking of a solution in the room.
She had no money now, not even the money for the plane ticket to leave Country J. She stood in front of the mirror, looking at the cherry blossom necklace on her neck and stroking it with her fingers.
This was the most valuable thing on her body. If she sold it, she would have no problem paying for her tuition, not to mention a plane ticket.
However, even if I sell myself, I cannot sell it.
This has GPS on it.
These days, would Tang Yu occasionally check on his whereabouts? Does he still care
She smiled bitterly.
He no longer wants me, so her whereabouts have nothing to do with him!
But she was stubborn and felt that this little thing seemed to be sustaining them.
Just as she was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Come in." Song Zhixing came back to his senses and spoke. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he ran into Chi Huan's handsome face.
"Why is it you?" she was surprised.
"I heard you were back. I was afraid you were bored, so I came to see you." Chi Huan was very calm and generous. He glanced at her and said, "You haven't changed much. No, you have changed. You must have been heartbroken, right? You look so sad and pitiful."
