Ou Cong decides he has romantic feelings for Jiang Shuqin and plans to propose to her upon her return. His sister, Xia Chuyi, is skeptical but agrees to help him find Jiang Shuqin. She learns that Jiang Shuqin has gone south to volunteer where Song Zhicheng is also volunteering, and Ou Cong is surprised by this news.

"Yes, volunteer teaching." Xia Chuyi looked at his second brother and said, "So, second brother, you have to think it through. Do you want to go south, and if you go, how will you persuade her to come back?"

Xia Chuyi directly tossed the problem to Ou Cong.

"I..." Ou Cong was stunned.

After a while of searching his thoughts, Ou Cong gritted his teeth and said, "Chuyi, I’ve decided, I’m going south to find her!"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi felt quite relieved and was about to say something when Ou Cong continued, "Going south to volunteer teach is really unlucky!"

"Zhicheng couldn’t be with Jiang Shuqin’s sister because of volunteer teaching, and then he decided to remain unmarried for life!"

"If Shuqin goes to volunteer teach, I’m afraid she’ll be like Zhicheng, unwilling to marry when she comes back!"

That must not happen, he had finally made up his mind to marry Jiang Shuqin!

Hearing Ou Cong’s phone call, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but find it funny and speechless, saying, "Second brother, what are you thinking..."

What’s so unlucky about it?

But Ou Cong no longer listened to his sister, saying, "I’m going to get ready now, to go south to find Shuqin!"

Ou Cong, sometimes not the sharpest tool in the shed, was still decisive in his actions.

As soon as he made up his mind, Ou Cong earnestly packed his bags, bought a ticket, and prepared to head south.

Xia Chuyi didn’t have much to say about this.

Man proposes, God disposes.

Whether it works out or not, at least his second brother has tried his best.

However, what Xia Chuyi never expected happened — just a few days after Ou Cong set off, Jiang Shuqin unexpectedly returned to Beijing.

When she received this news, Xia Chuyi was extremely shocked.

This... Wasn’t Shuqin supposed to be volunteer teaching there?

Could the information his classmates gave him be wrong?

Xia Chuyi directly went to the Jiang Family to find Jiang Shuqin.

"Shuqin, I heard from Zheng Yan and the others that you planned to volunteer teach in the south for a while. Why are you back now?" As soon as they met, Xia Chuyi asked while looking at the noticeably more serene Jiang Shuqin.

She didn’t mention anything about her second brother going to find Jiang Shuqin.

After all, some things are better discussed between her second brother and Jiang Shuqin themselves.

At this time, hearing Xia Chuyi’s question, Jiang Shuqin sighed and said, "That was the plan initially, but there was an accident."

"An accident?" Xia Chuyi furrowed her brows and immediately asked, "Are you okay?"

"It’s not me..." Jiang Shuqin shook her head and said, "It’s Brother Zhicheng..."

"Senior Brother Zhicheng?" Hearing this answer, Xia Chuyi almost exclaimed, "What happened to Senior Brother Zhicheng?"

Jiang Shuqin said, "The place where Brother Zhicheng was volunteer teaching is quite remote. To find a child who dropped out of school, he climbed a sky ladder, and while climbing, he slipped and fell..."

The so-called "sky ladder" refers to those remote places where people live high up on cliffs. To get up there, one needs to pull on a rope and then climb an extremely steep ladder, step by step.

"Chuyi, Brother Zhicheng’s hand... I just found out that his hand was injured." Jiang Shuqin said, "Because his hand was injured, he didn’t have enough strength on the rope and fell."

At this point, Jiang Shuqin’s eyes were a bit red.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was very shocked and said, "His hand? Wasn’t his hand already... Didn’t we find a famous doctor to help him heal it?"

Xia Chuyi was both shocked and puzzled by what Jiang Shuqin was saying.
