“I appreciate your loyalty,” Gu Chengrui said with a hesitant sigh. “You’re getting older, and traveling wouldn’t be ideal for you. Besides, the residence needs someone to look after it in our absence.”

Niu Fugui’s shoulders slumped in disappointment. “Then I shall await your return,” he replied dejectedly.

Later that night, while tidying up his books in the study, Gu Chengrui was struck by a sudden tightness in his chest. A violent coughing fit ensued, culminating in a bloody expulsion from his mouth.

Staring at the crimson stain on his hand, he froze for a moment before uttering, “I hope I can hold on until we set sail.”

The door creaked open abruptly, revealing Gu Chenglin standing on the other side. Gu Chengrui swiftly concealed the bloodstained hand behind his back.

Gu Chenglin initially paid little mind to what his cousin was hiding. However, upon noticing the blood at the corner of his mouth, he was jolted awake. He rushed forward and grabbed Gu Chengrui’s arm. “Cousin, what did you just try to hide?” he demanded.

“Nothing. Why are you here so late?” Gu Chengrui countered firmly, his voice betraying no hint of his illness.

Gu Chenglin, however, remained unconvinced. Recently, he noticed his cousin’s increasingly gaunt and haggard appearance. He initially attributed it to exhaustion. But now, the evidence pointed towards illness.

Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment before replying, “Tuberculosis. But don’t worry, I’ll be alright.”

“Is this the truth?”

“I might lie to others, but remember, you mustn’t breathe a word of this to anyone.”

“Then I’ll help you organize your books,” Gu Chenglin offered.

“No need,” Gu Chengrui refused gently. “You have your own responsibilities now, and they won’t be light. You need to mature quickly. Focus on your own affairs.”

With that, he gently pushed Gu Chenglin out of the study before he could protest.

Seeing his cousin’s resolve, Gu Chenglin offered no further argument and retreated back to his own room. However, the image of Gu Chengrui coughing up blood haunted him, preventing sleep from claiming him. He felt helpless, unable to do anything to help.

Finally, he got up and headed to the clinic to find Gu Chengxi. Unfortunately, Gu Chengxi couldn’t leave his patients unattended all day, so he returned to the residence.

The next morning, unable to bear the worry any longer, Gu Chenglin rose early and made his way directly to Gu Chengxi’s house.

Gu Chengxi, practicing boxing in the courtyard, saw Gu Chenglin come in. He was stunned for a moment, then retracted his fist. “You’re suffering from insomnia. You came to me early in the morning with a pair of dark circles under your eyes. What’s wrong?”
