After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Gu Tianyou clutched his stomach, which was throbbing from the kick, and was about to get up to bang on the door.

The door next door opened, and a man yelled at him, "It's the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep? It's so annoying!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianyou disregarded the throbbing pain in his stomach, immediately stood up, and strode towards the man.

"Shut up!"

"Heh, you want me to shut up? Don't you even know who I am?"

The man had only shown his head at first, but when he saw that Gu Tianyou was so ungrateful as to come over and hit him, he simply exposed his entire body.

He was wearing a vest, and was tall and muscular, with well-developed muscles all over his body; he was clearly a fitness instructor.

When he saw Gu Tianyou rushing over, he threw a punch.

Five minutes later, looking at Gu Tianyou lying motionless on the ground, he snorted, "If you can't fight, don't be arrogant, kid!"

The man then turned around and went back into his house, slamming the door shut.

After a while, Gu Tianyou struggled to sit up, wiped the blood from his mouth, staggered to Shen Yao's door, and raised his arm to knock on the door again.

Shen Yao put on earplugs and pulled the blanket over her head, pretending not to hear.

I don't know how much time passed, but the knocking gradually stopped.

Shen Yao thought that Gu Tianyou, this stubborn man, should leave.

The next day.

It was a bright, sunny day.

In the distance, sunlight broke through the clouds, and a few golden rays shone on the earth.

Awakened by the blinding sunlight, Shen Yao slowly opened her eyes, still feeling lingering fear as she recalled everything that happened last night.

She quickly washed up, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.

As she reached for the door, a figure rolled into the room without warning.

Gu Tianyou lay on his back at her doorstep, his face pale.

"What tricks are you playing?"

Shen Yao stood still and kicked him with her foot.

Gu Tianyou remained lying on the ground, motionless.

"Stop pretending, get up! I have to go to work!"

Shen Yao looked at the time and realized it was almost 7 a.m., and she became a little anxious.

Seeing that Gu Tianyou remained lying still, Shen Yao had no choice but to call Chen Jie to come and pick him up.

About 10 minutes after hanging up the phone, Chen Jie appeared in front of Shen Yao, breathless.

"So fast?"

Chen Jie, hands on his knees, gasped for breath. "I live quite far away, and when I was driving here, I happened to be in this area when I received your call..."

As he spoke, Chen Jie looked at Gu Tianyou lying on the ground and asked, "Mr. Gu, what's wrong now?"

Shen Yao glanced indifferently at Gu Tianyou on the ground. "I don't know. Anyway, you should carry him away quickly, I need to go to school."

Having only slept for three or four hours last night, Shen Yao couldn't hide her fatigue even with light makeup.

Seeing her like this, Chen Jie didn't dare to disobey and could only squat down and help Gu Tianyou up.

Shen Yao closed the door and hurriedly walked towards the stairs.

She rushed as fast as she could and finally managed to clock in before 8 o'clock.

There was no time for breakfast; she planned to prepare her lessons first.

Her class was during the third and fourth periods in the morning.

Busy times always fly by. When Shen Yao announced the end of class, she checked the time and it was exactly 12 o'clock.

Back in her office, she tossed the textbooks onto her desk and leaned back in her chair to rest, exhausted.

She took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and saw several missed calls from Chen Jie and three WeChat voice messages.

"Young Madam, Mr. Gu has a high fever!"

"He's still on an IV drip."

"No, I misspoke again, Miss Shen. If you have time tonight, please come and see Mr. Gu! He's not doing very well!"
