After watching Shao Silin and Liusu leave, Shen Cheng stood up and stretched. He was about to lead the girls upstairs for dinner when he suddenly found Wen Yuanyuan still sitting on the sofa.
At this time, Wen Yuanyuan's face was flushed. She put her hands together nervously and rubbed her index fingers gently. It seemed that she had something to say to Chen Cheng, but she was too shy to speak.
Shen Cheng was slightly stunned and asked, "Yuanyuan, don't you have to work today?"
"Yeah." Hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "I've asked for leave and will go directly to the hospital to see my mother later."
"Oh..." Shen Cheng nodded and couldn't help but chuckled. He realized that Wen Yuanyuan must have something to say to him, so he said, "Then I'll take you to the hospital."
"Okay... okay!" Wen Yuanyuan's face lit up immediately, but her cheeks turned even redder after she realized what was happening. "Thank you for your help..."
After greeting the girls, Chen Cheng drove Wen Yuanyuan to Mio Central Hospital.
As the accelerator was stepped on, the scenery outside the car window slowly receded. Shen Cheng asked, "Yuanyuan, do you have something to tell me?"
Wen Yuanyuan blushed and nodded, saying, "Because I heard that you, Shen Cheng, are going out again tomorrow, so I thought about it and asked for leave from the boss of the place where I work at night."
"For me?" Shen Cheng was slightly stunned.
"Yeah." Wen Yuanyuan's round face was as red as a bright red apple. She placed her hands nervously on her legs and said, "I... I want you to come to the hospital to see my mother..."
Wen Yuanyuan was afraid that Chen Cheng might misunderstand her, so she quickly said, "I don't mean to act pitiful and ask for help. I just... want to find someone to talk to. I don't have many friends in Mio City, and among my peers, you are the only one I have a good relationship with, Chen Cheng..."
"Well, it's okay. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me directly. There's no need to be so shy." Shen Cheng smiled faintly and replied.
Speaking of which, Chen Cheng originally wanted to go to the hospital to check on Wen Yuanyuan's mother. It happened that he had to return to the Institute of Biological Sciences tomorrow, and he didn't know whether the Institute of Biological Sciences could cure Wen Yuanyuan's mother's condition.
"Yeah!" Hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Thank you, Chen Cheng!"
Soon, Shen Cheng stopped the car at Mio City Central Hospital, turned around and looked at Wen Yuanyuan, opened the door and got out, and the two walked into the hospital side by side.
"Yuanyuan, you come so early today." As soon as she entered the hospital, a nurse on night shift greeted Wen Yuanyuan with a smile, looking very familiar with her.
"Well, I asked for leave from my workplace today, so I came a little early." Wen Yuanyuan nodded and responded with a smile.
After greeting Wen Yuanyuan, the nurse turned to look at Chen Cheng next to Wen Yuanyuan and was stunned for a moment: "Who is this gentleman...?"
"He... he is my friend. He came to accompany me to see my mother..." Wen Yuanyuan hurriedly explained with a blushing face.
However, Wen Yuanyuan's explanation seems to be more like an attempt to cover up the truth...
Hearing this, the nurse couldn't help but glance at the two of them and said, "Oh~ 'friends'~"
While speaking, the nurse emphasized the word "friend", which made Wen Yuanyuan's cheeks turn red all the way to her ears.
After nodding to Shen Cheng, the nurse turned and left.
As the nurse turned to leave, Chen Cheng could vaguely hear her murmur with a sigh: "Even a girl like Yuanyuan who carries a lot of baggage has a boyfriend, and he's so handsome, but I'm over 30 and still single. What's wrong with me..."
“…” The corners of Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched repeatedly.
Turning around, seeing Wen Yuanyuan almost blushing and about to crash, Chen Cheng quickly reached out and patted Wen Yuanyuan on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, don't forget what we are here for, let's go."
"Yeah... Yeah." Wen Yuanyuan nodded, patted her face to make herself a little more awake, and then led Shen Cheng to look for her mother's ward in the hospital.
After climbing several floors and passing through several white corridors, Wen Yuanyuan and Shen Cheng stopped in front of a ward further inside.
Pushing open the door, Wen Yuanyuan walked into the ward, followed closely by Shen Cheng.
The first thing he saw when he entered the ward was a woman lying on a bed in the ward. The woman was wearing a hospital gown, her face was thin and haggard, and there was an IV drip hanging on her skinny right hand.
"Mom... I'm here to see you." Wen Yuanyuan reached out and grabbed the woman's left hand as she walked to the bedside. She said softly, "I brought a friend to see you today. It's the Chen Cheng I often tell you about, the owner of the cat cafe. He's a very good and gentle person..."
Chen Cheng stood silently behind Wen Yuanyuan, watching her mother chatting. He had no way to interrupt in this situation, so he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that the Institute of Biological Sciences would have a way to save Wen Yuanyuan's mother.
Judging from the current situation, he must be in a vegetative state, but I don't know how long he has been in this state...
…
"Okay, I'm leaving now, Mom."
Wen Yuanyuan chatted with her mother for a long time before she let go of her mother's skinny hand. Then she turned her head to look at the silent Chen Cheng behind her and said softly, "Let's go out."
“…” Shen Cheng nodded silently.
The two walked outside the hospital. The cool autumn breeze at night slightly dispelled Shen Cheng's somewhat depressed mood. At this time, Wen Yuanyuan said: "Shen Cheng, you graduated from Mio City University, right?"
Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"We were almost alumni." Wen Yuanyuan put her hands behind her back, looked at the starlight above her head and the neon lights of the city center, and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry... Chen Cheng, I lied to you when I told you that I joined a club in college. I didn't go to college at all... The day before I was admitted to Mio City University and school started, I was at home and suddenly heard the news that my mother had been in a car accident."
