The vendor had been in this business for a long time.

Although he just did some small business, he had keen eyes.

When he saw Zhang Tiantian and Xiao Rong coming over, he greeted them smilingly, "Do you want to buy some fireworks for the new year, love birds?"

Zhang Tiantian flushed when she heard the vendor's words.

Xiao Rong raised his hands and tried to gesture.

However, he suddenly recalled something and put down his hands. He then reached out to hold Zhang Tiantian's hand.

Zhang Tiantian stopped when Xiao Rong suddenly held her hand.

She turned around and looked at him surprisedly.

Although they had been in Gui Town and lived under the same roof for quite some time, their relationship didn't develop quickly.

They were still friends as they used to be.

Xiao Rong looked at the stall to signal her to buy.

Zhang Tiantian thought about it for a while with her face red, and then she realized that Xiao Rong didn't want to use sign language anymore.

He had been laughed at by others because of that after he arrived at the village.

He felt so ashamed of not being able to speak. Now, many people laughed at his disability and Zhang Tiantian's stupidity.

Gradually, he refused to use sign language in front of other people.

When he was with Zhang Tiantian and nobody paid attention to them, he used some simple sign language to communicate with her.

Zhang Tiantian knew him.

So, she turned around to bargain with the vendor smilingly, "How much is this one?"

"Two Yuan for one and Ten Yuan for six."

When the vendor heard Zhang Tiantian's question, he answered it straightforward.

The vendor started to introduce his products passionately when he noticed that Xiao Rong was holding Zhang Tiantian's hand in silence, "Are you a newly-wed couple? You both look so young. How about this one? It's called Elixir of Love. This one is very safe and long-lasting. You can enjoy it for a good minute."

Xiao Rong looked at Zhang Tiantian.

He didn't respond to the vendor's words. It meant that Zhang Tiantian could make the decision herself.

Zhang Tiantian flushed whenever she was stared at by Xiao Rong.

Now her hand was held by Xiao Rong.

Her face went extremely red.

She bought the fireworks without bargaining with the vendor.

After buying some food from the market, they decided to go back with their hands full.

The villagers all went to the market by electric bicycle.

After they arrived at Gui Town, they had been living on the mountain. They were short of material resources, especially transportation.

They only owned a bike.

And it was a very old one.

Xiao Rong couldn't ride a bike. Zhang Tiantian tried to teach him how to ride a bike on their way there, but Xiao Rong didn't learn it and hurt his legs.

Zhang Tiantian gave it up and offered him a ride on their way back.

Xiao Rong sat on the back seat and held Zhang Tiantian's waist.

Zhang Tiantian's heart was racing.

When they were going downhill, she couldn't think straight because Xiao Rong was holding her waist tightly.

She didn't watch the road, so she ran over a rock.

The bike was shaking.

Zhang Tiantian couldn't hold the handlebar and lost her balance.

They rushed into the grass with Zhang Tiantian's scream.

They fell on their backs.

Xiao Rong stood up quickly and helped Zhang Tiantian up after he fell down.

Zhang Tiantian hurt her butt. When she stood up, she felt so embarrassed.

She apologized to Xiao Rong, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."

Xiao Rong gestured, "I'm fine. Did you hurt yourself?"

Zhang Tiantian felt so touched when Xiao Rong showed his concern.

Zhang Tiantian was about to say that she was fine.

Unexpectedly, before she answered it, a mockery sounded, "The young people today are shameless. What are you doing in the grass under the bright sunlight?"

Zhang Tiantian could tell that it was her uncle's voice.

She glared at her uncle and refuted, "You're too old to see things clearly now, uncle."

On hearing Zhang Tiantian's words, her uncle sneered at Xiao Rong, "I can't believe that you treat this mute as treasure! I can't imagine what life you're living with him!"

After saying so, Zhang Tiantian's uncle glanced at them scornfully and left with his son.

Zhang Tiantian felt so disgusted when she bumped into her uncle.

She bit her lip and looked at Xiao Rong, "We can't live on the mountain forever. We'll find a construction team and start to build a new house!"

Xiao Rong gestured when he saw her firm face, "It doesn't have to be a new house. I can live anywhere."

Zhang Tiantian said, "No, we have to build a new house! If not, we have to live a miserable life on the mountain! My uncle will occupy my homestead! I won't let it happen."

Zhang Tiantian said hatefully.

She couldn't help feeling angry whenever she recalled what her uncles did to her old house.

Xiao Rong stopped talking after she said so.

Zhang Tiantian knew this place much better than he did.

He would respect her decision.

Xiao Rong started to pick up their things when Zhang Tiantian held up the bike.

But when he was picking up the firework,

he felt something strange.

He felt something was up.

He frowned and pushed the grass aside.

It was not a good decision.

Xiao Rong was shocked after doing so.

He couldn't help letting out a hoarse voice.

Zhang Tiantian walked to him right away after hearing the voice, "What happened?"

Xiao Rong pointed at the grass where he tried to push aside.

Zhang Tiantian looked in the direction.

After a quick glance, she screamed in fright, "Ah!! There's a corpse!!"

...

After 3 p.m., Gangcheng started to become more festive.

Even though setting off fireworks was forbidden, there was a countdown of the spring festival gala on TV.

And there were also some backstage interviews.

Gu Baisheng was sitting at the lobby of the hospital and watching the preparation of the spring festival gala on the Gangcheng TV.

She sighed gently.

She looked at her phone uncontrollably.

It had been seven hours since Song Shuang stepped into the operating room.

It would take about ten hours if the surgery went well.

It would end at 6 p.m.

It would be only less than an hour left till the spring festival gala.

But during the actual surgery, emergencies probably would occur and cause uncertainty to the finish time.

This was a very large-scale and complex surgery.

The delay could reach about an hour.

It would be after 7 p.m.

After checking the time, she knew that she probably had to stay at the hospital for another 4 hours.

She raised her hand to rub her forehead.

It was a tiring day for her.

Although she didn't conduct any surgery, it was not easy to work in the outpatient area.

And lots of people pointed fingers at her because of what happened this morning.

She knew that she was too impulsive, but she really lost control when she heard Huang Jiaqi's words.

She felt that they slandered Song Shuang.

Gu Baisheng looked down.

Someone sat next to her.

She thought it was a patient waiting for his appointment.

But the next second, he passed a bottle of water to her.

Gu Baisheng saw that bottle of water.

She then looked at him in surprise.

That person was in the doctor's overall of the Gangcheng Hospital with a nameplate on it.

It was Su Yuanyi.

Su Yuanyi saw her staring at him, so he handed the bottle to her more closely, "I buy it for you. Take it."

Gu Baisheng watched the bottle but didn't accept it.

Su Yuanyi smiled when she showed no intention to take it, "What? Are you worried that I may poison you?"

On hearing it, Gu Baisheng shook her head and took the bottle.

But she only held the bottle and didn't plan to drink it.

She said calmly, "Stop talking to me about that thing. I don't believe in you."

It was quite unexpected to Su Yuanyi.

He didn't expect that she would initiate the topic.

He smiled surprisedly, "What is that thing?"

"That thing about whether things in my dreams are real."

Gu Baisheng replied gently.

Su Yuanyi became excited, "Don't you feel curious about it?"

Gu Baisheng frowned, "I'm not. Please stop making me think about it. My head aches!"

"A headache can be a sign of brain damage or hypnotherapy..."

"Neither of them." Before he finished his sentence, she stopped him. Then she turned around and glared at him, "What do you want to do?"

Su Yuanyi couldn't help laughing when she asked the question so seriously, "I just care about you."

"Just care about me?" Gu Baisheng shook her head, "I don't think it's that simple."

If Su Yuanyi only cared about her health, why did he show her to the graveyard in Meng Mountain?

Qu Xiaobo, Song Shuang and Song Yi had warned her

to stay away from Su Yuanyi.

Before their warnings, she already felt that Su Yuanyi was a bit strange.

She suddenly recalled the segments of memories when Su Yuanyi showed his concern to her.

She became more certain that Su Yuanyi was strange.

But why did she recall those segments when he showed his concern?

She couldn't figure it out.

So, she wanted an answer from him.
