After returning to the hotel, Rong Bing drifted off to sleep. It was already seven o'clock when she saw the message from Rong Yan.
Shen Xingzhi woke up.
Rong Bing witnessed her sister's outburst yesterday. She was so good to Shen Xingzhi that it made Rong Bing jealous.
Rong Bing wondered, if she hadn't been so reckless back then, would she be the most important person to her sister? Would she have stood up for her when she was being bullied, helped her get revenge, and taught Zhou Luo a lesson?
It's too late now. How can she win back Rong Yan's heart?
She didn't know what kind of work Rong Yan had arranged for her, but she guessed it was related to coffee. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken her to the coffee shop yesterday. She only missed it because she received a call halfway there about Shen Xingzhi's accident.
Rong Bing replied, "Okay, I'll go to the hospital to see her later."
Rong Yan's phone was on silent, so she didn't see the reply.
——
At noon, Fu Jingchen called Fu Jingsheng at his company. Fu Jingsheng sounded groggy, as if he were taking a nap.
"Brother, are you sleeping?" Fu Jingchen asked.
"Hmm, what is it?" Fu Jingsheng asked from under the covers.
"I'll talk to you later." Fu Jingchen didn't have anything important to say to Fu Jingsheng.
"We've already fought, so tell me." Fu Jingsheng stretched.
Fu Jingchen invited Fu Jingsheng to dinner. Fearing that his brother might not want to come out, Fu Jingchen specially chose a restaurant close to his brother's house so that he would have no reason to refuse.
Dinner was a must, and Fu Jingsheng agreed.
In the afternoon, Fu Jingchen went to the hotel and asked Zhou Luo for leave.
He knew that Fu Jingsheng and his group were going to hold a charity lecture series, and he wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Fu Jingsheng by asking them what they needed and offering to provide it for free.
Fu Jingsheng thought it was just a family gathering, so he could save the housekeeper from cooking and just eat something nearby.
Rong Yan was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
She slightly lifted her eyelids. After the alarm clock rang at twelve o'clock, she really couldn't get up, so she dozed off for a while longer.
"What time is it?" the woman asked.
"A little." Fu Jingsheng lifted the blanket and stood up.
"I'll get up too." Rong Yan rubbed her eyes and slowly got out of bed.
I washed my face with cold water and felt a bit better.
She was going to the ward to bring Yu Wenhao back.
In the hospital, Shen Xingzhi ate some liquid food, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon after. Yu Wenhao sat next to her, lying on the hospital bed, and soon started snoring.
He hadn't slept all night and had been busy all morning; he was really tired.
When Rong Yan and the others arrived, they peered through the glass door and saw one person lying down and the other lying face down. Rong Yan made a shushing gesture: "They're asleep. Let's go down and wait."
Fu Yunlei stood on tiptoe to look: "They're all asleep."
Han Yue pulled the children aside: "Keep your voices down, come out with Grandma."
Han Yue led the children to the grass outside the hospital.
Rong Shiyu opened the book she was carrying and started reading.
Just as Fu Yunlei and the others were about to run around on the grass, they remembered what their mother had said: that their grandmother was taking care of them alone, and they were not allowed to run around. They were to stay obediently by their grandmother's side.
So they turned back.
Rong Yan took a floor mat from the car and felt a pang of heartache when she saw the children sitting around their mother.
“Dad and I are here. You guys go play, but don’t leave this meadow,” Rong Yan said.
The children immediately stood up.
"Mom, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll take care of things here." When Rong Yan and the others went on their trip, her mother-in-law received calls from Lao Deng every day. Before she could even meet Lao Deng after they returned, Shen Xingzhi had an accident.
She guessed that her mother-in-law wanted to see Lao Deng, so she took the initiative to bring it up.
"I'm fine." Han Yue thought to herself that she could see him tomorrow or the day after, and that things that weren't urgent could be postponed.
She has to help her daughter-in-law take care of several children.
"Mom, go ahead. I've already put the gift for Uncle Deng in the trunk. I'll go get it for you." Rong Yan put her arm around her mother-in-law's shoulder. "Don't worry, Jing Sheng and I are here."
Han Yue said shyly, "Then I'll go?"
"Yes, we must go." Rong Yan took her mother-in-law's hand and went to the parking lot.
Fu Jingsheng followed closely behind the children, not daring to let any of them out of his sight.
Besides the things Han Yue bought herself, Fu Jingsheng took a case of wine. He had told his wife before leaving that the medicinal wine was for Lao Deng.
Han Yue looked at the gift her son had prepared and didn't know what to say for a moment. Although Fu Jingsheng was not good with words, he never failed to deliver on his promises.
"I..." Han Yue stammered.
"Mom, I know what you're going to say. We understand. We're family. Let's not be sentimental. When the car arrives, I'll help you carry it up. You can call Uncle Deng."
"It's alright. When the car arrives, have the driver help you unload it. You go check on the child, don't worry about me," Han Yue urged Rong Yan to go back.
Fu Jingsheng ran alongside the children, sweating profusely.
Are all children transformed from cows? They have such great stamina.
The man was too exhausted to run any further and bent over, supporting himself on his knees as he gasped for breath.
"Dad, sit down. We won't run around," Rong Shimo said, looking at her panting father.
"Dad, you need to exercise more. You can't even run anymore after just a short while." Fu Yunting stopped next to Fu Jingsheng.
Fu Jingsheng was so exhausted that he couldn't even lift his head. He plopped down on the grass, prioritizing his survival.
Rong Yan saw her husband on the ground from afar, smiled and ran over to him, handing him water: "You must be very tired."
Fu Jingsheng took a few gulps of water: "Four people, four directions. If they run one lap, it's the same as me running several laps. I'm getting old, my old arms and legs can't take this kind of strain."
"Yes, the children recover quickly. They'll be full of energy after a good night's sleep. You rest for a while, I'll stay with them." Rong Yan was worried that the children might get into trouble if they were too far away from her.
Fu Jingsheng got up: "I'll go."
“We can split up. I’ll watch over our son, and you can watch over our daughter.” Rong Yan decided to separate from her husband.
The Rong sisters made good friends in just a few minutes.
Three girls sat in one place, playing by pulling weeds.
Fu Jingsheng stood behind his daughter, looking at the grass for a long time but still couldn't understand what was so interesting about it.
He wanted to ask what they wanted to play, but he was afraid that if he spoke, the children would find playing in the grass boring and run all over the lawn, and he would be exhausted if he followed them.
He hid his hands behind his back and stared blankly.
Rong Shiyu was seen smelling the grass, wringing it, and tying a knot...
Rong Shimo kept muttering to herself.
Another little girl simply took off her shoes and stuffed the broken straw mesh shoes into them.
Fu Jingsheng couldn't resist taking a picture and posting it on his WeChat Moments, adding the caption: "The baffling behavior of human cubs, who understands?"
President Fu posted on social media.
He Wei received a notification, clicked on it, and took the opportunity to post Fu Jingsheng's question online: What is the psychology behind a child cutting grass?
The chosen answer startled him.
According to the description, one answer suggests this is destructive behavior. Perhaps the child experienced something that caused their anger to flare up, leading them to cut and break the lawn to vent their frustration. If this isn't addressed promptly, it could escalate into more serious behavior, such as using a knife…
