Hearing this, Li Nian stopped in her tracks.
Lu Ning was unaware and continued walking forward.
"Is it near where we met yesterday? That means our houses are close. You can come by often to visit me, isn't that great, Nian'nian?"
Lu Ning turned around and realized that there was no one beside her. She turned back and saw Li Nian standing not far behind her.
Lu Ning called out to her, "Nian'nian?"
Li Nian stood rooted to the ground and looked at Lu Ning, as if it was difficult to take another step forward.
Lu Ning walked over and looked at her.
"You don't want to go home?"
Li Nian did not say anything and simply looked at her.
Lu Ning pursed her lips slightly. "It's okay. Wait for me outside in the alley, I'll go get your things. Where's your bag and your medicine? I'll get them for you…"
Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, Li Nian immediately interrupted, "No! You can't go!"
