"Li Xiu!" Lao Liu – who was trailing behind Li Xiu – shouted. "What if your condition acts up?"
"It won't. It'll only be for a while." Li Xiu gave his definitive answer to Lao Liu, with all due respect.
"If it's inconvenient, I'll just go back home by myself," Xu Lan replied embarrassedly after noticing Lao Liu's apologetic glances at Li Xiu and a loathing look toward Xu Lan.
Seeing that Xu Lan was about to walk away, Li Xiu immediately held him and said, "No no, it won't. Follow us, Brother Lan."
In the end, Lao Liu had no choice but to compromise and drive both of them home.
Back at Xu Lan's place, Bai Wu did not dare to sleep, so his only recourse was to watch television in the living room. Earlier on, the old-aged landlord found it hard to keep himself up, therefore he went to sleep in the next door room. There was only the sound of the television in the living room by now, in addition to Bai Wu's hushed sobbing.
