"Tan Jiao, Tan Jiao?" Auntie asked on the other end. I snapped back to reality and said, "Auntie, I won't be in contact with him again, not this lifetime, and I won't ask for his help anymore. Let him live a good life, he'll find a girlfriend who's very suitable for him, and he'll always be... a great detective." I couldn't help but choke back tears.

  Aunt: "......"

  I hung up the phone and found that all three members of the Wu family were silently staring at me. I held back my tears, but my heart was extremely happy. I looked at Wu Yu, he naturally understood me, and his eyes also had a gentle and moving expression.

  "I have another call, I need to answer it right away." I said softly.

  He rubbed my hair and said: "I know, go."

  Standing on the balcony, Wuzhou and Dali are completely different. Here is much more quiet and crowded, like a real city. And Dali, where I live, where I met Wu Xiang again, there seems to be a heat wave in the air all the time, the colors are bright, the mountains look higher than the sky, and the lake is quieter than the sea.

  And now, my good friend, may be still living in ignorance in that city. Living in this year, her beginning, our end.

  At the thought of this, I almost burst into tears, holding back with all my might, and called her.

  "Hey......" Zhuang Yu's voice sounded lazy, "Xiao Juzhu, what's up?"

  It's still her, nothing is out of the ordinary. Not a hint of awareness, in her world, perhaps nothing has happened at all.

  I said: "Zhuang Yu, what are you doing?"

  "What else can I do?" She said in a bad mood, "Final exam, just started the exam week, damn it!"

  I burst out laughing. Tears suddenly started falling uncontrollably, and my breathing got disordered. Zhuang Yu noticed it, fell silent for a moment, then said: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

  I didn't say a word, and cried for about a few minutes. Then Joongu remained silent, she's always like that. Until I calmed down, she smiled softly and said, "Are you okay, Princess?"

  She doesn't know, now I hear she's living a heartless and ruthless life, how sad.

  I took a deep breath and said, "Alright, Zhang Yu, I have something very important to tell you, listen up."

  "Zhuang Yu was silent for a moment before saying: 'What's wrong with you today? Did you eat something bad?'"

  "I said, 'I haven't taken any medicine. This is about a life. A very precious, kind, honest, and good person's life. Listen, don't worry about the final exams, you'll still get the top three scholarships in the department next semester. You, go to the East Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Criminal Police Detachment One, and find a detective named Shen Shiyan. Shen as in Shen Wan, Shi as in time, Yan as in wild goose. 28 years old, 184 cm tall, no matter what he looks like or his personality, he's your type... Go find him, this is the only thing I'm asking of you in my lifetime... never mind, it's just one thing... I don't care what method you use, whether it's warning him or tailing him, tell everyone around him, write notes everywhere in his living and working spaces, fill up your shared notebook with reminders... make sure he doesn't forget no matter what. Let Shen Shiyan not go to Suzhou on July 30th, don't go to Suzhou University, don't come to help me, please!"

  "......"

  He said: "Promise me."

  After a while, Zhuang Yu finally said helplessly: "Damn it... I promise you, if I can't do it, I'll be a single dog for the rest of my life."
