Shen You lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
As the following day was a rest day, Shen You set off early in the morning to go to the location of Qi Yu that the system had found.
Through the system’s prompt, Shen You arrived at a nursing home not far from the city.
In her previous life, Shen You and Qi Yu met at the park in the middle of the street.
Shen You had not expected that Qi Yu was living in a sanatorium.
When she walked into the sanatorium, she was greeted by a smelly smell.
Shen You covered her mouth and nose in discomfort, trying to get rid of this smell.
During this period, the sanatorium had not been upgraded to a level where everyone could enjoy their lives.
This place was now a place where the elderly and the orphaned lived.
One could imagine the living conditions.
Shen You walked in and wanted to ask a staff member, but she realized that there wasn’t any.
Shen You had no choice but to walk in alone and search room by room.
Many of these elderly were bedridden and looked very pitiful.
Shen You walked past one by one and finally saw Qi Yu in a room near the end.
At this moment, Qi Yu was leaning against the window frame with a book in his hand. He was reading to the old man sharing the same room.
He was wearing the clothes from the sanatorium. His clothes, which had been washed until they became white, looked very refreshing on him.
Shen You quietly listened to Qi Yu reading the book. His voice made people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze.
Shen You was a little infatuated with his voice, and she was also a little dazed when she looked at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu finished reading a chapter and closed the book. He found the girl standing at the door.
He looked at her in surprise with a confused expression on his face.
Shen You suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. She smiled apologetically at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu nodded at Shen You and walked over. “Excuse me, what’s the matter?”
Shen You looked at Qi Yu as if she was confirming something from his face.
Qi Yu was a little embarrassed by her gaze and his face turned slightly red. “May I ask… Do you know me?”
Shen You thought for a moment before saying, “I like your voice when you’re reading.”
Qi Yu’s face turned even redder when Shen You said that. “Then… then you can come over more often when you have time.”
Shen You nodded and immediately said to Qi Yu, “Can you accompany me for a walk?”
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Wait for me for a moment.”
Qi Yu walked back to the bed and kept the books by the table. Then, he walked toward Shen You. “Let’s go!”
Shen You followed Qi Yu to the open space outside the building.
This sanatorium was located in the suburbs. There were some farmhouses and fields around it. The conditions were not good, but the environment was not bad.
Shen You walked a few steps and said to Qi Yu, “When did you move in here?”
Qi Yu thought for a moment and said, “When I was about 14 years old.”
“It has been five years now,” Qi Yu said with a bitter smile on his face.
“Why are you here?” Qi Yu looked at Shen You curiously.
Shen You stood still and looked back at Qi Yu. “I’m looking for a friend.”
“Have you found your friend?” Qi Yu asked curiously.
“Besides me, the rest seemed to be some grandparents here. Maybe your friend doesn’t live here,” Qi Yu said with some awkwardness.
“Maybe,” Shen you said with a half-truth.
“Haven’t you thought about leaving this place?” Shen You looked at Qi Yu and asked.
Qi Yu shook his head and said, “I’m waiting for someone.”
“Waiting for someone?” Shen You raised her eyebrows.
“Yes! She said that she would come and pick me up.” Qi Yu revealed a bitter smile. “So, I’m waiting for her to come and pick me up.”
“If she doesn’t want to pick you up, are you going to wait for her for the rest of your life?” Shen You stared at Qi Yu and asked.
Qi Yu nodded at Shen You. “Yes! I’ll wait forever!”
Shen You looked at Qi Yu and wanted to say something, but she thought about it and gave up.
