The page, which was originally blank, now has several more videos than it did a few days ago.
She clicked on one lazily.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?" Ye Qingyan yelled in the video.
"I'm listening."
The television started playing, and Zhen Tian stretched lazily again before burying her hands in the blanket.
"What's going on? You didn't even blink when you first heard Brother Ji's name. What's wrong, did you two have a fight?"
"I guess so."
"How is it calculated? Which part counts, and which part doesn't?"
"Well, it's nothing special."
Zhen Tian gave a perfunctory response without any real thought.
"Hey, Zhen Tian!"
Ye Qingyan called her name several times, but she didn't bother to respond.
Snuggled under the warm blanket, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Damn it..." Ye Qingyan hung up the phone in anger after finding her asleep.
This sleep lasted until dusk.
As dusk fell, the golden sunlight outside enveloped the entire villa.
The sky was getting dark.
The two mothers changed their shoes and came in. There was no sound in the room except for the image of a man on the television, with two or three short sentences playing repeatedly.
Liu Ye and Lu Ti both felt a lump in their throats.
"What are you doing?" Lu Ti watched as her friends took out their phones and filmed the girl in the room who looked like a baby sleeping. Then they filmed the figure and sound on the TV for a while before letting go.
"Send it to Ji Yuzhi." Liu Ye put down her phone and purse and changed her shoes: "Let him experience what it means to abandon one's wife and children."
"What are you talking about? Xiaoyu has gone to do something important." Lu Ti smiled and patted Liu Ye's arm.
"What nonsense." Liu Ye scoffed, then waved her arm: "Forget it, let's not talk about him, it just makes me angry."
"Keep your voice down and let her fall asleep. Let's go back and rest for a bit." Liu Ye called to Lu Ti, and the sisters went to their room to chat.
Zhen Tian slept until evening.
The two mothers offered her something to eat, but she refused and instead heated up a cup of milk before going upstairs.
Go upstairs, drink it, and then go back to sleep.
"Is Tian Tian sleeping too much every day?" Liu Ye looked upstairs worriedly.
“She’s quite far along in her pregnancy, she might be feeling sleepy.” Lu Ti frowned. “I’ll make her some bone broth tomorrow.”
“I think it’s a good idea. If she weren’t pregnant, I would have made seafood soup for Tian Tian. My friend brought me some fresh seafood.”
"She can't eat seafood, so we'll eat it ourselves."
"Haha, how about we grab some drinks?"
"Can."
As they spent more time together, the two mothers discovered that their temperaments and personalities were becoming increasingly compatible. Sometimes they were so compatible that they felt like one person.
By the time the fathers arrived, there were hardly any men left to do in the house.
They moved about in the corners of this house like invisible people.
Zhen Tian became much quieter. She spent her days doing nothing, and life seemed to have lost its meaning.
The only thing to do was sit in front of the TV, hoping for even the slightest chance of seeing Ji Yuzhi.
The time was pushed back by half a month.
Their journey had reached its final stop: City D, a major epicenter of the pandemic.
When Ye Qingyan was having a video call with Zhen Tian, she saw her best friend suddenly freeze, then sit there and tears streamed down her face.
"What's wrong, baby!"
"Why are you suddenly crying!"
"What is it? Tell me."
Because of the house, none of her sisters could come to her house to keep her company. Her due date was fast approaching, and her mood was very important during this time, so they took turns chatting with Zhen Tian every day.
Especially when Brother Ji is not around, they are all worried about Zhen Tian, so no matter how busy they are, they will make time according to their schedules so that Zhen Tian does not have a chance to overthink.
Ye Qingyan's howling did not move Zhen Tian.
Instead, they called over the two mothers who were busy in the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
The two mothers rushed out, one holding a spatula and the other holding a pot lid.
At this point, Zhen Tian was crying so hard she could barely breathe: "Zhizhi, Zhizhi..."
She pointed at the television, tears streaming down her face.
Liu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes immediately swept over.
On the television screen, several people wearing blue protective suits, masks, and goggles appeared, completely covered up.
Willow Leaf was puzzled.
"Where is Yuzhi?" Liu Ye thought her son's figure had already disappeared from the television screen.
But Zhen Tian pointed to the second person behind the little blue man who spoke first: "Zhizhi went to the ward, and it's full of patients!"
She was so worried, why did she go to a place like a hospital?
She spun around anxiously.
"You saw him appear? Is that really Yu Zhi?" Liu Ye and Lu Ti both crowded in front of the TV to see the figure.
Ye Qingyan, who was on the phone, also heard Zhen Tian's words. She quickly understood what Zhen Tian meant and hurriedly turned on the TV.
She had always thought this job was glamorous, and now it seems it was a high-ranking one.
Ye Qingyan searched the TV screen until her eyes were almost blind, but she still couldn't recognize Ji Yuzhi.
Neither Liu Ye nor Lu Ti inside the house noticed.
"That's him! I recognized him just by his silhouette!" Zhen Tian was so anxious she was jumping up and down. She stood in front of the TV, pointing at the man and speaking incoherently.
"Sweetie, aren't you being too sensitive?" No matter how hard Liu Ye looked, he couldn't recognize that it was his son.
"No, this is him."
Zhen Tian felt helpless, and she stood there waving her hands and stomping her feet.
How can you not see it? It's so obvious.
Zhen Tian couldn't stop crying.
"Okay, okay, it's him. Don't cry." Liu Ye helped her up: "Listen to your mother, go back and sit down first."
"Mom, what should we do? He's inside, surrounded by patients!!!" Zhen Tian was pulled by Liu Ye, but she stopped Liu Ye's arm and refused to walk to the sofa.
"Mommy! Zhizhi!"
“Even if you’re anxious to death, he’s still standing there.” Lu Ti understood her daughter best. She pressed Zhen Tian down onto the sofa and said in a stern tone, “If you keep crying, you’ll make the child cry too.”
With teary eyes, Zhen Tian looked up at her mother for a couple of seconds, then glanced at the television for a couple more seconds.
"Waaah..." She was so angry she had nowhere to vent, so she grabbed a cushion and threw it hard on the sofa.
"Alright, alright, it's all that little bastard Ji Yuzhi's fault, baby, don't cry, don't cry." Liu Ye sat down next to Zhen Tian and hugged her to comfort her, not forgetting to glare at Lu Ti: "You too, why are you getting angry with the child?"
“I’m angry because I’m worried about her. What if her crying affects the baby?” Lu Ti crossed her arms, her face very serious.
"It's nothing, just coax her a bit." Liu Ye patted Zhen Tian's back.
