She was taken aback for a moment before walking over.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Gu Yansheng turned around. Seeing that she was safe and sound, his worried heart finally calmed down.
“Weiyi, are you… Okay?”
Zuo Weiyi smiled faintly at his concern.
“I’m fine. But, why are you here so early?”
Gu Yansheng looked at her and pursed his thin lips. “I was a little worried when I saw you two yesterday. And since you don’t have a phone, I came here to wait for you.”
He knew that she would definitely come here every morning.
Zuo Weiyi smiled and turned to walk into Shen Lanzhi’s ward.
She said, “I’ve bought a cell phone. It’s the same number as before.”
Gu Yansheng’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Yes.”
She replied and then walked to the bathroom. She fetched some warm water and came out to wipe Shen Lanzhi regularly.
“So, I need to wipe my mother’s body. Do you…mind leaving for a while?” She turned around and looked at Gu Yansheng.
Gu Yansheng looked at Shen Lanzhi who was lying on the bed. He then nodded at her. “Okay.”
He turned around and left the ward. He did not come back until she finished cleaning Shen Lanzhi.
As soon as he came in, he saw her giving Aunt Shen a massage while saying something to her.
“Mother… I saw the doctor yesterday. The doctor said that the lack of nutrition in my body may cause a miscarriage. But you don’t have to worry too much. The doctor also said that as long as I rest well, the baby and I will be healthy.” Her voice was very gentle as a faint smile appeared on her lips, as if she was chatting as usual with Shen Lanzhi.
Gu Yansheng suddenly asked, “Weiyi, you do this every day. But can Auntie Shen feel and hear it?”
Zuo Weiyi turned to look at him.
She smiled slightly, “I don’t know either. But I hope she can hear it.”
As she looked at him, she suddenly felt something move in her palm. She turned back and looked down at the hand in hers.
Seeing her unusual behaviour, Gu Yansheng asked from the sofa, “What’s wrong?”
She stared at the hand in hers as if she was waiting for something.
However, a minute had passed and there was no movement. She could not help but feel disappointed.
“Nothing,” she replied softly.
But was she imagining things? Why did she feel as if her mother’s hand had moved a little?
Or was it just because she had been massaging it earlier?
Zuo Weiyi looked at Shen Lanzhi’s hand quietly. She was a little confused and fell into deep thought.
“Weiyi, I’m going back to Z Country tomorrow. Do you really not want to come with me?”
Just as she about to get lost in her thoughts, Gu Yansheng suddenly spoke from the sofa.
Zuo Weiyi looked up at him. She looked away again and continued massaging Shen Lanzhi.
“I want to go back.”
Gu Yansheng was delighted. “Then, you’ll come with me?”
She looked up. “I’ll think about it.”
She missed her mother and really wanted to go back to visit her.
“Okay, then I’ll leave once you’ve thought about it.” Her answer made Gu Yansheng very happy.
“No, that’s OK. If you have something important to do, you can go back first. I have grandpa anyway. I can go back by myself.” She knew how Gu Yansheng felt about her, so she wanted to keep some distance between them so that she didn’t confuse friendship and affection.
