"I know," Rick acknowledged that . He did not run away from Huo Mian's criticism .
"Honey, I'm hungry…" In order to make Huo Mian back off and not bring on more pain for Rick, Qin Chu changed the topic .
Huo Mian held onto Qin Chu's hand with love and said, "Let's go home . I'll make you noodles . "
Qin Chu nodded . Then he turned around and looked at Rick . He was able to silently convey to Rick that Xixi was going to be okay and he didn't need to worry .
Rick nodded and got what Qin Chu meant .
On the way back home, Huo Mian continuously criticized Rick for his bleakness towards Xixi .
Qin Chu didn't say anything before Huo Mian finished . "Honey, Rick isn't as bleak as you think . Although he's very stubborn and quiet, he probably has been through a lot . He grew up in such a family that his childhood was probably very stressful and painful . He doesn't know how to love or properly protect those he loves . He was taught how to kill . We are not Rick so we cannot understand it from his perspective…"

"Hmph, so you're helping your friend now?" Huo Mian pouted .
"Okay, okay… Let's not fight about this . Didn't you say you were going to cook noodles for me just now . "
"No! Go and make your own instant noodles," Huo Mian said angrily .
"Okay . Although someone's husband just finished a big operation and is exhausted, someone still doesn't know how to love her husband . She's telling him to eat instant noodles . Instant noodles are junk food and constantly eating junk food will hurt one's stomach . If that happens, then the husband will have to rely on his wife to survive…" Qin Chu complained .
Huo Mian's heart immediately softened and said, "Okay, okay . Stop nagging me . I'll make you noodles . Just wait for me patiently . Also, go and take a shower! You reek of formalin . "
"Isn't this your favorite scent?" Qin Chu joked .
"I like it when I'm at work, not when I'm at home . I want my home to always smell like cooked rice…"
Then, Huo Mian went into the kitchen to make noodles for Qin Chu .

Outside South Side's ICU, Rick watched Xixi through a thin layer of glass .
He knew that Huo Mian and Qin Chu were right . Xixi was still in critical condition and could pass away at any moment .
"Xixi, you have to wake up . I don't want to lose you…"
Rick's heart painfully ached, as if someone had beat it up violently when he remembered what Xixi said before she became unconscious .
Up in Yuding Mountain, Pudding and Little Bean were swimming with their grandparents .
Qin Ning was enjoying herself in the outdoors hot spring all alone .
The hot spring was around 40 degrees Celsius .

Snow drifted from the sky and landed on her long black hair . They melted into ice, making her extremely beautiful .
Suddenly, Qin Ning's phone buzzed – she got a WeChat message .
She immediately grabbed her phone from a nearby rock .
To her disappointment, it was her father in the States .
Her father had been keeping up with technology . He started using WeChat and would send her red pockets and messages from time to time .
"Where's Pudding and Little Bean? I want to see them," Qin Ning's father said through a voice message .
"They're not with me . They're with Uncle in the indoor pool . You can video-call Uncle Qin . . . "
"Okay . Did you see that brat from the Tang family after going back?" Qin Ning's father was angry at Tang Chuan ever since he ran back to China .
From Qin Ning's father's perspective, Tang Chuan didn't love his daughter and didn't want to become the Qin family's live-in son-in-law . That was the reason why he escaped overnight .
To his ignorance, he did not know the real reason why Tang Chuan left .
"Dad, can you stop asking about this?" Qin Ning said with frustration .
Then she put down her phone and mumbled to herself, "Who wants to see that brat from the Tang Family?"
Suddenly, a voice could be heard from behind .
"A good girl doesn't say bad things about other people…"
Qin Ning was very surprised . She turned around and froze .
"How… why are you here?"
