Although Qi Lin and her mother still gave Qi Yue no good looks, due to Zhao Tienan's authority, they did not dare to make any more small moves. They could only watch as Qi Yue held onto those one hundred thousand yuan and took her seriously ill father on a trip.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tienan finished the last acupuncture session for Boss Qiu.

"Boss Qiu, the acupuncture was very successful. From now on, you will no longer be tormented by such pains."

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you any further. If there are any other issues, please contact me, although I hope you won't need to contact me again in this lifetime. I wish you eternal health."

Zhao Tienan packed up the silver needles and said, somewhat humorously.

"Doctor Zhao, why say that?"

"Even if my illness is cured, we can still be friends."

"By the way, there's something I want to tell you. Qi Yue has completely resigned from my place, and this afternoon at 4:50, she and her father will take the train north to see the grasslands together."

In the county, Boss Qiu was well-connected, and anything he wanted to find out was easily within his reach.

Apparently, this information was gathered by him for Zhao Tienan.

"Oh, well, thank you, Boss Qiu. Then I'll take my leave now."

Zhao Tienan glanced at his watch and promptly packed up his medical kit, hurriedly running out of the villa.

Time was running short, with only an hour left until departure.

"Driver, to the train station, thank you!"

Zhao Tienan flagged down a taxi as he left and made his way there at breakneck speed.

Finally, before Qi Yue checked her ticket, he grabbed her hand.

"Qi Yue, wait..."

Zhao Tienan mustered all his courage, resolute like when he handed over that love letter back in middle school.

"Zhao Tienan!"

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Qi Yue smiled, as if she had been waiting for Zhao Tienan to catch up all along.

"Well, I want to ask, why didn't you keep your promise back then? Didn't we agree to be together after graduating college?"

Zhao Tienan said in a pretend casual tone, though he had been deeply concerned about this issue all these years, even now, his thoughts were completely in disarray.

"I didn't want to break my promise, but I didn't want to drag you down, and your world seems splendid without me."

Qi Yue left with these words, then turned to leave. Yet it was this very sentence that left Zhao Tienan standing there, unable to let go for a long time.

It turns out, Qi Yue didn't fall in love with someone else, nor did she see the tender years of the past as a joke. It was precisely because she liked him so much that she chose not to interfere.

She lived a hard life and didn't want Zhao Tienan to share in that pain.

Such a kind girl, exactly the same as before, still the unwavering white moonlight in Zhao Tienan's heart.

"Hey, when you come back, let's be together."

Zhao Tienan suddenly yelled out, calling after Qi Yue, who was about to disappear around the corner.

"We'll see, if you still remember me by then!"

Qi Yue turned her head, smiling brilliantly, just like that unforgettable girl from ten years ago.

"Alright, there will always be a place for you here!"

Zhao Tienan waved his hand, seemingly bidding farewell to Qi Yue, but in reality, he was saying goodbye to those youthful years.

He and Qi Yue will surely have a new beginning.
