Song Qingchun had never expected that this was going to be the last time she talked to Tang Nuan and that the latter's reticence before parting was going to be Song Qingchun's last impression of her. This was because less than twelve hours after their separation, Song Qingchun received news of Tang Nuan's death.
At the time, Song Qingchun was so caught up with the news of Su Zhinian's vasectomy that she didn't have the mental capacity to notice Tang Nuan's curious state. She merely urged her after Tang Nuan didn't speak for a long time. "Yes?"
Tang Nuan's gaze on her was quiet yet meaningful, like she needed to communicate many things but couldn't do that via words. It was lost on Song Qingchun that this was a sign of Tang Nuan's deep inner struggles. Specifically, she was debating whether or not to tell Song Qingchun that someone was out for her life.
