Seeing that both had fallen silent, Xu Qianli said, "Don't just space out—reply to me. If you keep quiet, I'll take it as your agreement. Alright, it's decided then. I will notify you ahead of time when to go back."
Xu Qianli cheerfully settled the matter.
It had been a long time since he had visited his parents, and now with a new girlfriend, he felt he must take her to meet them.
Ding Meixin and Liu Qian still didn't utter a word; they exchanged a glance, their eyes full of shyness and happiness.
And so, with Ding Meixin and Liu Qian's company, Xu Qianli stayed in Jinkou County Hospital for two days, by which time his health had completely recovered.
Over those two days, leaders from various levels—from the neighboring province to cities and counties—came to visit, expressing their gratitude for his swift rescue efforts during the Qinglong Town disaster.
