Bai Xuan asked Jiang Heng, "Can you make some time tomorrow?"

"Is tomorrow your father’s anniversary?"

Bai Xuan’s biological father had made many contributions to Haiyu City; he was a good official, dedicated to the people, honest and upright. Not to mention, Bai Xuan’s father died protecting her.

Be it emotionally or rationally, even out of affection for his wife, he should personally visit the grave of the father-in-law. But...

He had also scheduled to meet with the Medicine Farmer Star tomorrow.

"Where is Father-in-law buried?"

Bai Xuan said, "Dongyang Mausoleum. West Continent City is his hometown. After he died, we specially sent his ashes from Haiyu City back to West Continent City for burial."

"Dongyang Mausoleum?"

What a coincidence?

It happened to be the same mausoleum that the Medicine Farmer Star specified.

Quite convenient.

"Tell Mother-in-law that I’ll accompany her to pay respects to Father-in-law." He could first accompany his mother-in-law to pay respects, then find an excuse to part ways and meet with the Medicine Farmer Star alone.

Seeing Jiang Heng agree, Bai Xuan was overjoyed, but she added, "I’ll go too."

"Your health..."

"It’s not a big deal, as long as I don’t get injured, bleed, or fall ill, it’s not that easy to get infected." But once infected, it would be a severe illness.

Jiang Heng frowned, unwilling to agree.

Bai Xuan coaxed him gently, "Ah Heng, take me with you. I’m worried my health will get worse in the future. I want to go with you to see him."

Jiang Heng always had an accommodating attitude towards Bai Xuan, how could he bear to disappoint her?

"Alright, but after the memorial service, you must come back and not wander outside." Bai Xuan was delicate and precious, the house had to be disinfected daily, and Jiang Heng was afraid she might bump into something and get infected outside.

"Okay."

The next day.

The film crew got up early to go to the island to shoot. Last night, Xu Xingguang had already gone through the scenes with the actors, so she didn’t need to join the crew on the island today.

She got up early and went for a heavy-loaded morning run along the coastal highway for an hour. When she returned to the hotel drenched in sweat, she happened to run into Bai Xi, who was carrying things and preparing to go out, in the elevator lobby.

"Teacher Xu, did you just finish running?" Bai Xi noticed Xu Xingguang single-handedly carrying a heavy backpack and guessed it might be loaded with weight-training equipment. Her view of Xu Xingguang subtly shifted.

Teacher Xu is indeed self-disciplined. She had rehearsed until two in the morning last night and still managed to get up early for a heavy-loaded run today.

A self-disciplined woman, truly formidable.

"Yes." Xu Xingguang wiped the sweat off her forehead with the towel around her neck and asked Bai Xi, "Why are you still at the hotel? Didn’t you go to the island today?"

Bai Xi was holding a car key, she explained, "I have some personal matters to attend to this morning, I’ll head over in the afternoon."

"I see, are you going into the city?" Xu Xingguang said, "I need to make a trip to Dongyang Mausoleum. If you’re not in a rush, could you give me a ride to the city?"

Xu Xingguang shrugged, she said, "I want to buy a bouquet in the city to take along."

Upon learning that Xu Xingguang was also going to Dongyang Mausoleum, Bai Xi was a bit surprised, "Teacher Xu is going to the mausoleum too?"

"Too?" Xu Xingguang said with a chuckle, "Are you planning to go to the mausoleum as well?"

"Yes." Bai Xi told Xu Xingguang, "Today is my father’s anniversary. I want to pay respects to him. Coincidentally, I also want to buy a bouquet in the city, so let’s go together."

"Alright, wait a bit for me. I’ll go take a quick shower and change my clothes, then I’ll come down."

"Okay."

Xu Xingguang was very quick.

She took a quick shower, changed into a tank top and work pants, and draped a sun-protective jacket over her shoulders before going downstairs.

Bai Xi noticed that it only took Xu Xingguang twenty minutes in total, which made her admire her all the more. "Teacher Xu is really efficient."

Bai Xi thought of something funny, her eyes curved as she smiled and whispered, "When our Zhouzhou has to go out, she dawdles for at least an hour and still may not get everything done."

"She’s a female celebrity, with a heavy idol burden." Xu Xingguang laughed, "I’m just a shut-in who writes books. We’re different."

Back when Bai Xi heard about Xu Xingguang bringing a coffin to crash the Jiang family’s wedding, she had always thought of her as a formidable yet quiet character.

But after just a few interactions, she discovered that Xu Xingguang was a chatty and cheerful girl.

Being with Xu Xingguang, Bai Xi never felt awkward or had nothing to say. Xu Xingguang always managed to strike a balance in her interactions and could always find suitable topics to chat about.

"Miss Xu is from Yujiang City, are you going to pay respects to a deceased elder today?" West Continent City and Yujiang City are far apart. That she has a relative buried in the East Mausoleum surprised Bai Xi a little.
