I really like your sand sculpture group friends

On the bright side, now that it's late autumn, letting Shishi stay in a warm southern city for a while might not be a bad thing for her health.

Shishi can have fun with her friends, and she will also have more time and energy to help her husband, while also getting a little rest herself.

However, Fu Qianping had no idea whether Mo Xiangwen was really willing to let Shishi stay for a while.

Even though Shishi trusts him so much, and even though he is her student, as a mother, she has to be more cautious and suspicious.

In the end, she simply shook her head and gave a gentle smile again: "It's nothing serious, Shishi, go back and rest."

Faced with her mother who had called her over but hadn't said anything, Bai Shishi was full of questions, but she still obediently nodded, got up, and slowly walked back to her room.

Watching her daughter's bedroom door close gently, Fu Qianping sat alone in the dining room for a long time. The clock on the wall ticked away, as if urging her to make a decision.

Finally, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, took out her phone from her pocket, and found the number in her contacts.

After much hesitation, she pressed the dial button.

The phone was answered after only two rings. Fu Qianping unconsciously straightened her back and spoke in as calm and gentle a voice as possible:

"Hello, is this Mo Xiangwen?"

-----------------

Mo Xiangwen and Yan Nuoya lingered for a short while at the entrance of the residential complex. As they reached the elevator, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was his counselor calling.

"Counselor, what do you want from me at this time?" Mo Xiangwen waved his hand in front of Yan Nuoya's eyes and said with some confusion, "Doesn't she always contact me through you when she needs something? Is your phone dead?"

Yan Nuoya then realized that she hadn't used her phone for quite some time, so she quickly took it out and glanced at it, but she didn't see any unread messages or missed calls.

"No." Yan Nuoya was also a little puzzled, but she still urged, "Your counselor must have something urgent to tell you directly. You should answer the phone quickly."

Mo Xiangwen glanced at the elevator that had just arrived, but didn't go in. He turned around, walked a few steps outside, found a place with better signal, and answered the phone.

Looking at the three big words "Counselor" on the screen, he pressed the call button.

"Good evening, counselor."

"Xiang Wen," Fu Qianping's voice came from the other end of the phone, "are you still at school?" She had just asked when she remembered he no longer lived on campus, so she added, "Uh, I mean, are you still in H City and haven't gone home yet?"

Although he didn't understand why the counselor suddenly asked about his whereabouts, he assumed it was because the counselor was concerned about their safety, so he said, "Thank you for your concern, counselor. I'm already home, and Noah is with me. Please don't worry."

Nuoya? Upon hearing Yan Nuoya's name again, Fu Qianping was taken aback.

No wonder Shishi said she envied Nuoya; it turns out Nuoya also went to visit him.

The thought of Yan Nuoya also helped ease Fu Qianping's worries considerably, and she finally made up her mind to speak: "It's like this, Shishi said she wants to visit you for a while, I don't know if it's convenient for you."

“Sure.” Mo Xiangwen agreed without hesitation: “I’d definitely welcome Shishi to come visit.”

He had barely finished speaking when he asked with some concern, "But... is Shishi's health condition suitable?"

Fu Qianping was surprised that he agreed so readily, and quickly explained, "It's okay, her condition has been quite stable recently, she's just waiting for the right time to have the surgery."

She then briefly explained that there were some things going on at home and she didn't want Shishi to worry, which would affect her health, so she asked him to take care of her for a few days.

Having experienced quite a bit in life, Mo Xiangwen immediately understood the counselor's ambiguous meaning and said, "Then I'll go back to H City to pick her up right away!"

Fu Qianping felt bad, as she had already troubled him to take care of the child, and she was too embarrassed to let him make a special trip. She quickly said, "No, no, I can take her there myself."

“It’s alright, I have plenty of time,” Mo Xiangwen said in a relaxed tone. “Teacher, you go ahead with your work. I’ll be in H City tonight, don’t worry.”

"Shishi is my friend, and I care about her a lot," Mo Xiangwen said sincerely. "Even without this incident, if she wanted to come visit me, I would definitely say yes."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Qianping stood there, feeling a little emotional.

No wonder Shishi trusts him so much; this kid is indeed reliable.

However, Yan Nuoya seems to have a good relationship with him... She shook her head and decided to let them handle the child's matter themselves.

All she wants right now is for Shishi to be healthy and happy; nothing else matters.

Mo Xiangwen stuffed his phone back into his pocket, a little helpless. He had just told his mother to cook a few more dishes, but now he had to stand her up. He'd have to explain to her later.

He turned around and saw Yan Nuoya still waiting for him quietly not far away, looking in his direction.

Mo Xiangwen walked over and said a little embarrassedly, "Nuoya, I have to go back to H City to pick up Shishi. Let me take you upstairs first, you've been hungry all day."

Yan Nuoya paused for a moment, then shook her head and smiled gently.

“I’ll go with you,” she joked casually. “Are you going to leave me to meet your parents alone?”

Thinking about it that way, it makes sense.

If Yan Nuoya were left to face his parents alone, they might expose all his dark past when he came back.

Moreover, given Yan Nuoya's personality, he wasn't too comfortable leaving her alone.

As for the backpack, I was too lazy to run upstairs and put it down first.

There weren't many things in my backpack, and I didn't know if I would need to change my clothes.

Mo Xiangwen quickly sorted out the matter, nodded, took out his wallet from his pocket, and handed his ID card to Yan Nuoya.

Then I swapped my backpack with Yan Nuoya's backpack slightly, since Yan Nuoya's bag was a bit heavier because it contained a notebook.

She's been running around all day, and she's about to go on a long trip with him again. It would be good for her to have some peace and quiet.

"Noya, could you book me a high-speed rail ticket? If there's no high-speed rail, I'll transfer to a bus to the provincial capital and take a plane. We'll go to H City together to pick up Shishi. I'll call my mom first to explain the situation."

Yan Nuoya took his ID card and nodded, without objecting to his changing of the backpack, and handed it to him directly.

"Okay, then I'll take a taxi while I'm at it, don't worry."

"I am naturally at ease entrusting it to you."

Chapter 180 Arrival, and a Hair Dryer. (4K5 combined)

Fortunately, tickets from here to H city are much easier to buy than tickets from H city back.

Around 11 p.m., Mo Xiangwen and Yan Nuoya finally set foot on the soil of H City again.

The high-speed rail station was much quieter at night than during the day, and the lights seemed exceptionally bright. Only a few late-night passengers hurriedly walked by with their luggage.

Night had fallen, and the whole city seemed to have fallen asleep.

Mo Xiangwen glanced at the time and hesitated for a moment.

Is it really appropriate to visit at this hour? Shishi should already be asleep, right? Although I don't know how urgent the situation is for the counselor, it doesn't feel right to disturb her so late at night.

After thinking about it, he decided to call his counselor first to discuss it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the call connected, Fu Qianping immediately said, "I've already prepared the guest rooms for you, so please come over."

This reply completely dispelled their original plan to find a nearby hotel and book a double room.

They exchanged a glance and had no choice but to take a taxi to the neighborhood where Bai Shishi lived.

The neighborhood was unusually quiet late at night, with only the streetlights casting a dim yellow glow on the empty roads.

The trees in the green belt swayed gently in the night breeze, making a rustling sound.

A few lights were still on in the windows of several high-rise buildings, but most people seemed to have already fallen asleep.

The entire neighborhood was filled with a tranquil yet weary atmosphere, as if even the air itself was drowsy.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential compound, the two expected to have to explain to the security guard, but before they even saw the guard, they were greeted by Fu Qianping waiting at the entrance.

Perhaps because it was late, Fu Qianping's face showed just as much fatigue as the two of them.

She was wearing a simple coat, her hair casually tied back, and she looked somewhat rushed.

"Good evening, Mo Xiangwen and Yan Nuoya." Fu Qianping gave a tired smile. "I'm so sorry to trouble you to come all this way so late."

Seeing the weariness on their faces, she felt a pang of guilt.

She was indeed very surprised when she received Mo Xiangwen's call.

I initially thought that when he said "I'll arrive tonight," he just meant he was leaving immediately, but I didn't expect him to actually come overnight.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately went to make the bed in the guest room.

She had assumed only Mo Xiangwen would be coming, and wanting to save him money on a hotel stay, she had him come directly to the hotel. She hadn't expected Yan Nuoya to come along, which caught her off guard.

"Good evening, counselor," Mo Xiangwen replied politely, and Yan Nuoya nodded slightly in return.

A resident of the community came to pick them up, so the security guard didn't give them any trouble and let them through after a simple registration.

Mo Xiangwen glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. He asked softly, "Is Shishi asleep?"

"She's asleep," Fu Qianping nodded. "Shishi usually goes to bed early. Although she occasionally stays up late, it's rare."

Mo Xiangwen hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Could I ask what happened?"

Fu Qianping sighed and explained, "Something urgent happened at home, so I wasn't planning to go. But Shishi said she wanted to see you, so I thought I'd call you."

Her tone was full of gratitude towards the two of them, while her colleague also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The two walked and talked, with Yan Nuoya following quietly behind without saying a word.

Soon, the three arrived at Fu Qianping's house.

Having visited before, Mo Xiangwen and Yan Nuoya recognized the address at a glance.

After opening the door, Fu Qianping pointed in the direction of the guest room: "The guest room has been cleaned. Please stay in the guest room, Mo."

She paused, looked at Yan Nuoya, and said somewhat shyly, "If you're going to stay in my room, Yan, then. I feel much more at ease knowing that both of you are here. I'll go to the hospital tonight."

"I am truly grateful for your help, both of you." Fu Qianping bowed deeply to the two of them to express her gratitude: "I'm entrusting Shishi to you now."

The teacher bowed to them, which he could hardly accept. Mo Xiangwen and Yan Nuoya quickly moved aside.

Mo Xiangwen quickly waved his hand: "Teacher, please don't do this. We can't accept it. Shishi is our friend. This is nothing we should do."

Yan Nuoya nodded and quickly added, "Yes, we all really like Shishi."

“I didn’t know you were coming as a couple,” Fu Qianping sighed, adding, “but I anticipated that Mo Xiangwen would have a big appetite, so I prepared quite a lot of food and put it in the refrigerator. If you think it’s not enough, there’s also bread and milk in the refrigerator.”

“We understand.” Mo Xiangwen nodded repeatedly. “Teacher, if you’re busy, you can go ahead.”

Fu Qianping seemed even more anxious than when they had first talked on the phone. After thanking her again, she hurriedly left.

Mo Xiangwen closed the door and went to the living room with Yan Nuoya. Seeing that Bai Shishi's bedroom door was closed, the two of them naturally had no intention of disturbing her rest.

After a long day of travel, they hadn't had a proper meal and were indeed hungry.

Fortunately, I had been here once before and was quite familiar with the place, so I went straight to the refrigerator and took out the food prepared by the counselor.

It has to be said that although Fu Qianping only prepared one meat dish and one vegetable dish, the portions were not small at all, and even so large that Mo Xiangwen felt it was a bit excessive.

Moreover, it looks and smells delicious, making one's mouth water.

It just so happens that there are two of them, and although the food is still a bit small for two people, Yan Nuoya doesn't eat much to begin with.

If he's still hungry, he saw that there was bread and milk when he got the food, so he can just get some more later.

The two, who were starving, quickly heated up some food in the microwave, then sat down side by side at the table to eat.

During the meal, Mo Xiangwen said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to have made you run around with me all day."

Yan Nuoya gently shook her head: "Don't say such things in the future."

Mo Xiangwen smiled and changed the subject: "Then you can sleep in the guest room later, I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

He knew that Yan Nuoya might be reluctant to sleep in the counselor's bedroom, and he felt the same way, experiencing various psychological barriers from embarrassment to discomfort.

If he were really given the choice, even without any consideration for courtesy, and if he were alone, he would definitely choose the sofa.

Yan Nuoya seemed to have expected this. She shook her head without changing her expression: "There's no reason for you to sleep in the living room while I sleep in the guest room. Besides, I might not be used to sleeping in the guest room either. We can just sleep together on the sofa in the living room. There's more than one sofa here."

Mo Xiangwen, who already knew her personality well, nodded. He didn't think sleeping on the sofa was anything to be ashamed of. Since Yan Nuoya didn't want to sleep alone in the guest room, they could rest together in the living room.

After finishing their meal quickly, the two of them washed the dishes.

Mo Xiangwen spoke first: "Go take a shower first. You've been busy all day. Girls need to wash and blow-dry their hair, which takes a lot of time."

Yan Nuoya nodded, took out her clothes from her backpack, and headed towards the bathroom.

Mo Xiangwen looked at the sofa in the living room, then suddenly remembered something and went to check out the guest room.

The guest room is small and the space feels a bit cramped. Due to the limited area, there is only one small bed that is 1.2 meters wide.

However, the bed was indeed made neatly, and there were two blankets, one thick and one thin, prepared next to it.

Mo Xiangwen took the quilt out, spread it on the sofa in the living room, and then turned on the air conditioner.

In this weather, if they don't turn on the air conditioning, the two of them will probably be bothered by mosquitoes all night.
