Ning Wan also looked out the window, then smiled and said, "Yes, it will be May in a few days."
Before she knew it, almost a year had passed since she transmigrated into this world from the book.
"Time really flies..." Grandma Chen's voice was hoarse, with a hint of weariness from years of experience: "At my age, I can hardly remember the time anymore."
“It’s alright, I’ll keep track of the time for you from now on.” Ning Wan sat down on the chair by the bed and smiled, “From spring to summer, and from summer to autumn… every year from now on, we will be together.”
In Ning Wan's heart, she already regarded Grandma Chen as a relative and elder to be respected.
Grandma Chen turned around, gently took Ning Wan's hand in her palm, and asked softly, "Are you still arguing with Aman?"
Ning Wan was taken aback at first.
He then shook his head: "No, it's just that everyone's been very busy lately, so..."
Ning Wan had no idea how Grandma Chen knew about her relationship with Shen Fu.
However, although the two of them could not be said to have completely let go of their grudges, Ning Wan was right about one thing.
Everyone is very busy.
Ning Wan was busy taking care of Grandma Chen, spending almost every day at the hospital. Shen Fu, on the other hand, was busy investigating the kidnapping of Ning Yanshu.
The two meet every day, but they probably have very few opportunities to have heart-to-heart talks.
"Wanwan," Grandma Chen suddenly called out to her.
This was also the first time Ning Wan had heard Grandma Chen call her name.
For some reason, she felt that the voice sounded strangely familiar.
"Wanwan," Grandma Chen said, "Don't make things difficult for yourself."
Ning Wan looked confused and didn't react for a moment.
"Life is already hard enough; don't make things difficult for yourself if you can trouble others," Grandma Chen said. "You and Aman are both very, very good people. Life is short, so do what you want to do. Don't wait until you're as old as Grandma to regret and feel sorry for yourself..."
They were talking about Ning Wan, but Grandma Chen's eyes were unfocused as she gazed out the window.
His eyes also revealed an unspeakable loneliness and regret.
She was lost in her memories, her eyes filled with the scars of life's trials and tribulations.
It wasn't until a moment later that Grandma Chen's thoughts returned.
She smiled apologetically at Ning Wan and said, "...I'm sorry, Grandma is getting old and always likes to reminisce about the past. Do you think I'm being a bit long-winded?"
Ning Wan shook her head and said truthfully, "No, I like listening to Grandma chat."
Ning Wan doesn't often interact with the elderly.
The only person the owner had contact with, Li Hongxia, was unreasonable. In the original owner's memories, the grandmother, Old Mrs. Ning, was even more domineering and unreasonable.
Grandma Chen was different from them; she was the gentlest and most kind.
In a way, she even had a strange feeling that she had met Grandma Chen before.
Hearing that Ning Wan showed no impatience, Grandma Chen continued, "It's not easy for two people to come together. Don't let unfounded speculation wear down your feelings for each other. Sometimes, being honest with each other is a good solution."
Sunlight fell on Grandma Chen's face. A gentle smile played on her lips, making her look radiant and full of life: "Grandma knows what Wanwan is afraid of. But instead of remaining trapped in this confusion and worry, why not try to believe?"
Ning Wan murmured repeatedly, "Believe?"
"Hmm..." Grandma Chen nodded slightly: "Try to believe in Aman, and try to believe in yourself."
"If you make a mistake, you can always start over. You're still young, and you have plenty of opportunities to try and fail. But if you miss out, it will be a lifelong regret..."
...
That noon.
Grandma Chen pulled Ning Wan aside and talked on and on.
Ning Wan understood some of the advice, but she still only had a vague understanding of others.
Towards the end, Grandma Chen seemed tired, and her mental state deteriorated. Occasionally, she would mix her own story with Ning Wan's.
Ning Wan didn't correct or refute her, but simply listened quietly until she finished speaking.
Later, Grandma Chen lay down to sleep, while Ning Wan took a book and sat on the sofa in the living room.
She waited until evening before Shen Fu came to let her go back to rest.
When he arrived, he was carrying a food box for Grandma Chen.
It was rice porridge that Shen Fu cooked himself after getting off work.
Outside the room, Shen Fu instructed Ning Wan, "There's still some food warming in the pot in the kitchen, but Xiao Shu refuses to eat it, saying she wants to wait for you to come home. There are also some small cakes I bought in the refrigerator; we can have them as snacks later."
"Okay." Ning Wan nodded, then asked, "What about you? Did you have dinner before you came?"
"I'm not hungry yet, I'll remember to eat later. Don't worry about me, Wanwan." Shen Fu lowered his eyes, looking at the person in front of him, his eyes filled with deep affection and doting.
"Get some rest when you get home tonight. Remember to lock the door when I'm not home. Although the weather is gradually getting warmer, it's still cool at night, so make sure you're covered up well with the blankets."
When it came to recounting the trivial matters of daily life, Shen Fu became particularly long-winded: "Xiao Shu likes to kick off the covers in his sleep at night, so make sure he doesn't catch a cold. Wanwan can come over later tomorrow morning; I'm not in a hurry to leave."
"Okay, I know. You're so long-winded..."
Seeing Ning Wan's disdain, Shen Fu chuckled for a moment: "You already find me annoying?"
"No, I don't..." Ning Wan blushed and answered softly, "I will never find you annoying..."
Hearing Ning Wan's words, Shen Fu felt a sweet warmth in his heart, as if it were soaked in sugar.
"Go back quickly, the driver is still waiting for you downstairs. If you stay any longer, it will get dark soon."
Ning Wan packed her belongings, turning back every three steps, and asked, "...Then I'm leaving?"
"Okay, drive carefully. Remember to call me when you get home."
Shen Fu stood there waving, watching Ning Wan gradually leave.
Only after the figure disappeared into the elevator did Shen Fu slowly put away the smile on his face.
He took out the medical report that had just come out of his pocket.
Seeing the 99.99% accuracy rate of the identification results above, I fell into deep thought...
