After that, Mu Yuchen ordered Xi Xiaye to go upstairs, shower and rest. He did not forget to get her to take her medication either.

Even so, Xi Xiaye still suffered from a high fever in the middle of the night. Mu Yuchen was sound asleep then. Suddenly, he could feel her tossing in his embrace while breathing heavily. Her temperature was terrifying too, so he quickly took a better look and saw that she was covered in a sheen of cold sweat.

He quickly got her to consume some medication and looked after her the entire night. Finally, when dawn arrived, her fever finally broke.

When they woke up the next morning, Mu Yuchen did not go to work. He got Li Si to send the necessary documents straight to the Maple Residence. He worked at home to keep an eye on her. Unexpectedly, Su Chen called to ask Mu Yuchen out for drinks that night. Mu Yuchen just told him he was at home, and Su Chen drove right over, bringing along some game meat too.

At this moment, in the Maple Residence living room, Mu Yuchen was sitting still and upright before the sofa. His eyes were fixated on his laptop screen as his fingers swiftly tapped against the keyboard while Su Chen was silently sipping his tea on the side.

"I remember that you should be quite busy, Chief Su. How do you have time to come over today?"

Usually, the buddies were all rather busy, so even if they wanted to gather, they would have to wait for weeknights or rare weekends.

"Can't I just come over to see you?" Su Chen shot him a glance, then continued sipping his tea.

Mu Yuchen stared at him cynically for quite a while, then smiled. "Did the Elder issue his rigid command to you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen sighed helplessly. "I've been thinking it over properly over these past few days. Actually, I understand what the older generation is thinking. My sister specially came home last night to nag me."

"Everyone at home's like that, speaking of which, you're much more relaxed than Zimo. There are pros of being in politics, and there are cons of being in business, so you are basically stable now. I'm sure they had the same thoughts of me having a stable career before settling down and starting a family."

Mu Yuchen entered the last row of data and saved it before shutting his laptop down and turning to smile faintly at Su Chen.

"Wow! You would say such things too? Years ago, you were one of those who swore they'd only get married when they were done fooling around!"

Su Chen glared at him sulkily. He set his cup aside frustratedly and then leaned back against the sofa.

"I'm already done messing around. It's you who's not done," He casually poured himself a cup of tea as he chuckled. "Ah Mo and Lingshi will have some good news soon. Earlier, Lingshi even mentioned you."

"Lingshi?"

Su Chen was surprised as he raised his brows while mixed emotions passed through his eyes. "Of course, it's good that she can get over this barrier. Initially, she was quite worried that you wouldn't be able to let go either. They're already gone, so there's no need for any guilt or self-blame. Instead, you should continue to live your life since life is short and will pass by in the blink of an eye. It was as if I just packed my bags to go to school yesterday, and today I woke up 30 years later. So, buddy, life is but an instant."

Mu Yuchen's tone was light as the wind, yet his eyes were extremely still as he silently looked at Su Chen.

"You really do have quite a lot of feelings about this. Since you know that life is short, why have I never seen you spend more time on yourself? Pfft, you and Zimo are the same."
