"Are there any students coming to learn the zither this afternoon?" Ning Tianyu walked into a zither shop called Ling Yun.

"No, the students are all in the morning." Su Nuo looked up and saw Ning Tianyu slowly approaching her.

"Then can I invite you this afternoon?" Ning Tianyu wanted to invite Su Nuo to his house to compare notes. As long as Ning Tianyu had time, he would invite Su Nuo. This had already become a habit.

"Can we not go to your house today?" Su Nuo didn't really like to go to Ning Tianyu's house alone, but Ning Tianyu couldn't refuse his kindness.

"Why?" Ning Tianyu saw that Su Nuo was in a difficult situation.

"I still have a tutor tonight. It's very far from your home. If I go to your house now, I won't be able to go to the students' house in time." Su Nuo wanted to use the students as an excuse not to go to Ning Tianyu's house.

"Oh, that's right," Ning Tianyu was a little disappointed. Su Nuo had already rejected him so many times.

"How about this, the day after tomorrow is a weekend. How about we call Xiao Yue and Xing Yang to your house to play the zither together?" Su Nuo knew that she had already rejected Ning Tianyu's invitation several times, so she felt a little guilty in her heart.

"Alright, then it's settled." Although Ning Tianyu was a little unhappy, since Su Nuo had already said so, he couldn't refute anything.

Su Nuo watched Ning Tianyu leave, her heart filled with apology.

Su Nuo could actually feel Ning Tianyu's feelings towards her, and since the day he entered the Conservatory of Music, Ning Tianyu had always treated her very well. Su Nuo knew this.

However, Su Nuo originally didn't want to think too much about emotions. After all, her physical condition didn't allow her to think in this way, and she didn't want to let down a person who truly treated her well, let alone make him fall in love with her and watch her die.

As for Ning Tianyu, Su Nuo also felt that she did not like him because he treated her well.

Although Ning Tianyu had always treated him well in the Conservatory of Music, Su Nuo had never felt that kind of emotion towards Ning Tianyu. She only had gratitude and friendship towards Ning Tianyu, and had no feelings for men and women.

This made Su Nuo very embarrassed. She didn't know how to tell Ning Tianyu, tell him how she felt, tell him that she only treated him as a friend, and that her kindness to him was only a friendship between friends.

In the evening, when Su Nuo got off work and waited for the bus to go home, Xiao Yue happened to drive by Su Nuo's side. Xiao Yue noticed that Su Nuo was waiting for the car and reversed it.

"Waiting for the bus to go home?" Xiao Yue poked out the window and said, "I'll take you back."

'"No need, you can be busy first. I'm not in a hurry to go home." Seeing Xiao Yue dressed very formally, Su Nuo felt as if she was going to negotiate. "Looking at you changing your military uniform into a suit today, there should be something wrong, right?"

Xiao Yue admired the woman's observation ability. "Yes, but we've already done it and are preparing to go back. Let's go by the way," he said.

"Alright then." Su Nuo rarely rejected Xiao Yue's words. Even Su Nuo did not know why.

Su Nuo sat in the passenger seat, her head lowered, and her gaze fell on Xiao Yue's hand that was placed on the gear.

In the past few years, Xiao Yue had joined the army, and it could be considered that he had fulfilled his wish. The training of the army made the originally fair looking hands dark and sturdy, but this gave Xiao Yue a bit more of a mature man's flavor.

Su Nuo realized that it was inappropriate for her to stare. She immediately withdrew her gaze and whispered to Xiao Yue, "Thank you for taking me home."

Xiao Yue pursed his lips and smiled, "Looks like you can't change this problem. It's been so many years, but it's still like this. I'm always'sorry ', 'sorry to trouble you', and'thank you '. Do I have to do so many things that you need to thank me for?"

Although Xiao Yue's tone was cold, it contained a bit of teasing. Su Nuo couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, "It's hard to change the nature of a country. I'm already working very hard to change it."

"Well," Xiao Yue nodded slightly, "after saying thank you, say sorry again, right?"

Su Nuo couldn't help but laugh out loud, "How could that be? Stop talking nonsense. Besides, even if you're a friend, you should still say thank you."

"Did you see the three of us say thank you to each other, or are you embarrassed to say something like that?" Xiao Yue glanced at Su Nuo with a smile.

'"Not many," Su Nuo said confidently.

Xiao Yue restrained his smile and said, "There's no need to say this to me in the future. I said this many years ago." "You can express your gratitude or apology with your actions, but needless to say, I don't need it, and I think the best way you can thank me is to recover from your illness and live a good life so that your parents and grandfather can see that you can live without them."

'"Xiao Yue," Su Nuo's eyes turned red because of Xiao Yue's words, and her voice became a little tense. "If it weren't for the few of you helping me, I probably wouldn't have graduated from the Conservatory of Music. I also know that you are the one who helped me the most. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I'll always say thank you, but I'll always remember."

"Don't be so excited. I was just saying it casually. What if you get sick like this?" Xiao Yue did not expect that his words would make Su Nuo so excited.

Su Nuo nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Xiao Yue, if you don't want to hear those words, I won't say it anymore. I will try my best to live according to what you said. No matter how long I can live, I will make myself very happy."

"That's good," Xiao Yue knew that it was him who spoke too much, causing Su Nuo's mood to become so bad for no reason.

Xiao Yue silently sighed and changed the topic, "Have there been many students lately?"

Fortunately, only a few old students didn't add anything new. Su Nuo calmed herself down and unconsciously looked at Xiao Yue's right hand.

Xiao Yue took advantage of the red light and turned his head to look at Su Nuo, who was sitting beside him. "Tianyu told me that he had already asked you out several times, but he couldn't. He said that you always had students," Xiao Yue took advantage of the red light and turned his head to look at Su Nuo, who was sitting beside him.

"He didn't know my time, did he? The time he arranged for me was just when I had a student. I also felt a little embarrassed." Su Nuo didn't know how to answer, "What did Tianyu tell you?"

"Nothing much," Xiao Yue turned around and drove slowly without looking at Su Nuo. "Just now, he called and said that you invited me and Xing Yang to his house the day after tomorrow to practice zither. That's why I asked you."

"Oh, really? If you're busy, I can tell Tianyu to change the time. You're an officer now. You'll definitely be much busier than me." Su Nuo felt a sense of loss every time she heard Xiao Yue's calm tone. However, Su Nuo didn't know what she was losing. She just felt depressed.

'"No need, I have time," Xiao Yue replied indifferently. "And it's been a long time since we've gathered. It's good to take advantage of this opportunity to gather together."
