Shi Shi followed Xun Ke back and helped for a while. She had decided to leave, but when she went downstairs and passed by the front desk, she couldn't suppress the thoughts deep in her heart. She stopped and turned around and walked towards the front desk.
"Hello, I'm looking for patient Liu Shiwu. Is it convenient to visit him now?" Shi Shi asked the nurse at the front desk.
The nurse heard this and looked at her.
"Are you a relative of his?"
"He's a friend of my dad's. I came to see my friend today, and I remembered my dad mentioned Uncle Liu was here, so I wanted to come see him." Shi Shi said this very naturally, because it was true from beginning to end, without a trace of falsehood. "I just can't remember which ward he's in, so I came to ask."
Because she came to visit Xun Ke in the morning and registered Xun Ke before taking him out, the nurse at the front desk still had some impression of her.
"Okay, register again. Ward 807. Remember to keep quiet." The nurse didn't ask any more questions and told her the ward number directly.
Shi Shi successfully found room 807. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
The first thing I saw was a young man sitting on a chair by the window, resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing the noise, the boy opened his eyes and turned to meet Shi Shi's gaze.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The two said in unison.
Shi Shi's gaze fell on the man lying on the hospital bed, but she did not answer first.
"The nurse has to leave for a while, so I'll help watch it for a while." Zeng Mu was the first to answer.
"I'm here to see a friend. He's also hospitalized here." Shi Shi approached and looked at the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed. "Is he unable to leave home with someone because of his illness?"
"He is a vegetable." Zeng Mu replied.
Shi Shi was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"He can eat, drink, sleep and poop. He chews when he's fed and occasionally opens his eyes. He can hear when you call him and will tilt his head in response."
"So, there are always people who refuse to give up and hope that he will wake up."
Zeng Mu's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing.
"How long has he been like this?"
"You could say seven years, or ten years." Zeng Mu tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Because seven years ago he was briefly lucid for a week."
Shi Shi listened in silence. In her previous life, she had heard that Uncle Liu had died. Ma Aili hated her father because of this, even calling him a murderer. But Uncle Du hadn't mentioned any instances of her father being incarcerated, so she suspected that, due to some indirect reason or misunderstanding, Ma Aili believed her father had murdered Uncle Liu.
"Do you come to visit him often?" Shi Shi asked Zeng Mu again. In fact, she had never heard Zeng Mu mention this person in her previous life, so she felt surprised when she opened the door and found Zeng Mu there.
"My mom often comes to see him, and sometimes she brings me along," Zeng Mu said calmly. "He's my uncle, my dad's cousin."
Zeng Mu could see the curiosity in her eyes, and knew that the father she had just met was a friend of Uncle Liu, so he continued.
"Uncle Liu's mother passed away five years ago. Before that, it was said that all the expenses were funded by a friend of my uncle. After that, my father was responsible for all of Uncle Liu's expenses." Zeng Mu said this because he felt that Uncle Feng Shi Shi's father was very similar to the person who funded the family back then.
Now his father is in a clear financial crisis and can no longer afford the expenses here. So if Uncle Feng cares about his friend Uncle Liu, he won't just leave it alone.
This way his parents won't quarrel as soon as they meet, because his mother thinks the expenses are affordable for both of them, while his father thinks that his normal life should not be affected for others.
"I saw his fingers move just now." Shi Shi suddenly said excitedly, pointing at the person on the hospital bed.
Zeng Mu also glanced at his hand when he heard this, but his face showed an expression of being accustomed to it.
"It's actually normal for your fingers to move." That's why some people don't want to give up and think it's worth spending any money.
"Is that so?" Shi Shi heard a lot of things for the first time today.
Although Shi Shi was very curious about everything about Liu Shiwu, she couldn't shamelessly ask Zeng Mu about it, so she didn't stay long and left with an excuse.
After watching Shi Shi leave, Zeng Mu returned to his original expressionless look.
————Dividing line————
How long does it take to go from liking you to loving you?
Qin Yichuan got the answer from his dream - 10 years.
A strange but real dream.
In the dream, Mr. Qin Lang and Ms. Shi Yiqing were not together, so there was no little Qin Yifan in that world.
"Do you like me?" Shi Shi in the dream asked him this before they started dating.
In the dream, he nodded firmly.
Then they started dating.
From that day on, liking someone turned into love. Before, liking someone was because I could only watch from afar, so it was just liking someone.
Only after he finally reached her side could he begin to love her with all his heart.
Then the two got married.
After being married for many years, they do not have a happy married life.
They were rarely together and only maintained a superficial happiness. In front of others, they were a perfect couple. But behind the scenes, they were not as respectful to each other as guests and rarely saw each other.
In the dream, he felt inexplicably helpless.
A dream that he couldn't understand.
So even though he had already woken up, he was still trapped in that plot.
Why can't she be happy even if she marries the one she loves? If she doesn't like him, why would she be willing to marry him?
He looked at the time and found that it was 2:10 in the morning. He was no longer sleepy, so he got up and went downstairs to get some water.
After pouring the water, he turned around while drinking and saw Shi Shi standing not far away in a white nightgown. He choked and coughed several times.
"I didn't come over right away because I was afraid of scaring you. I didn't expect that I would scare you anyway." Shi Shi said apologetically after approaching. She also came down to drink water because she had eaten too much salty food for dinner today.
Qin Yichuan gave up his seat and looked at Shi Shi's back. He thought that Shi Shi still hadn't come out of that dream. The emotions in the dream still infected him. Facing the helplessness of his beloved and the rejection of his approach, he felt an inexplicable urge in his heart.
"I'll go upstairs first." Qin Yichuan said softly, turned and left.
Ten years? He counted in his mind. It has been three years since he first fell in love with her at first sight.
And then, seven years from now, will he be like him in the dream, finding that his day-to-day liking has turned into love that goes deep into his bones?
Love, can he mention love at that time?
