These patients came without prior notice. Gu Fangsheng is a very sensible person, so she had already told Hua Wanjiang that they would have dinner together when the old man was feeling better.
Hua Wanjiang said, "Then it's settled. We'll have your sister-in-law and your sister-in-law come over in a while, and we'll all get together."
Gu Fangsheng quickly agreed.
Upon hearing that the two families were going to get together, Gu Yan looked at Ye Yifan provocatively.
Ye Yifan began to have some ideas in his mind at this moment.
Fortunately, just as the two were about to clash again, Gu Fangsheng and Hua Wanjiang started walking out.
Hua Kai quickly called them to follow, and changed the subject by talking about some unimportant things.
Finally, as Gu Fangsheng and Gu Yan left through the hospital ward, Hua Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Wanjiang said to Hua Kai, "You three go out and get something to eat. Just bring me a bite. Your grandfather can't be left alone."
Ye Yifan said to Hua Wanjiang, "Uncle, let Hua Kai and Qingyi stay here and watch over Grandpa. Let's go to the credit union and deposit the money first."
Hua Kai said, "Dad, then you go with Ye Yifan, and just bring back some food for me and my brother."
Hua Wanjiang sighed, "I still have to make the child worry about me."
Hua Kai smiled: "Dad, you've worried about me so much before, haven't you? Go on your way."
Hua Wanjiang went with Ye Yifan to deposit money.
Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi walked towards Hua Zhongzhi's ward.
As they walked, Hua Qingyi asked Hua Kai, "Kai Kai, I feel like something's off about Fan Ge and Gu Yan. Are you two hiding something from me?"
Hua Kai was in a dilemma. How should she put it? After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother, if I said they all think they are my best friends, so we need to rank them, would you believe me?"
Hua Qingyi frowned and said, "Do you think I can believe that? If Gu Yan is that naive, how could Brother Fan be so naive?"
Hua Kai scratched her head: "What a coincidence, it really is true, men are all late bloomers."
Hua Qingyi was silent for a while before saying, "No, I don't think that's the case. If you have anything to say, you have to tell me. Otherwise, if I can't figure it out myself, I might just tell my parents."
"Brother, weren't you on my side? Why did you betray me?"
"I haven't betrayed you. I'm doing this for your own good. If you tell me the truth, I promise I'll keep it a secret."
"Brother, you're cunning. But I'm not sure about this yet, but I promise you, I'll tell you as soon as I have the answer."
"Is it a deal?"
It's a deal.
As agreed, the two entered Hua Zhongzhi's hospital room.
Hua Zhongzhi had been feeling nervous since no one was around for a while. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them return: "You're finally back. I can't move, and I get anxious when I can't see you."
They had indeed overlooked this point before, since they had never encountered such a seriously ill patient before.
Hua Kai sat down on the edge of Hua Zhongzhi's bed: "Grandpa, I just saw Uncle Gu out and we talked for a while. My dad and Ye Yifan went to buy lunch and will be back in a bit."
Hua Zhongzhi said, "I used to think your dad had a bad personality and didn't have many friends. I really didn't expect that his friends were all people of status and rank."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "My dad is a practical person who treats others sincerely, so naturally others will treat him sincerely in return, don't you think?"
Hua Zhongzhi nodded and said, "Yes, your father's personality is just like your grandmother's. Your grandmother was a very serious person, but she was very principled. If she were still here, perhaps our family wouldn't be like this today. But she was unfortunate and left us early."
Hua Kai didn't know much about her paternal grandmother. Because her father lost his mother at a young age, Hua Wanjiang didn't have a deep impression of his own mother either, so the family rarely mentioned her.
She said to Hua Zhongzhi, "Master, when you have time, tell my father about my biological grandmother. I think every child wants to know about their mother."
Hua Zhongzhi nodded: "Yes, I will."
Hua Qingyi peeled an apple for Hua Zhongzhi, then cut it into small pieces and handed it to him: "Master, have some fruit."
Hua Chongzhi said while eating, "You don't know until you compare. Looking at you all now, I think of Qingsheng, Linlin and the others. Sigh, I won't say anymore. People can see who is sincere most at times like this."
Hua Kai said, "Sir, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Patients need to maintain a cheerful mood, which is helpful for their condition."
Hua Chongzhi smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ye Yifan and Hua Wanjiang returned shortly afterward, bringing food.
Because the patient in the bed next to mine was discharged this morning, this is a double room, and now there is only one patient in this ward, so they don't have too many concerns about bringing back food to eat.
Hua Kai observed that in this day and age, hospital wards were quite empty. People rarely went to hospitals, especially in rural areas. At most, they would go to the township hospital to get some medicine. Many elderly people would rather die than get injections or surgery, or even go to the hospital at all. Therefore, hospital beds were not in short supply at all.
After finishing their meal, Hua Kai said she wanted to go to the store and asked Ye Yifan to take her there. Ye Yifan then went back to work on the way.
The two got into the car, and Ye Yifan drove it out of the hospital and parked it near a small square.
He looked at the blooming flowers and said, "I don't like Gu Yan."
Hua Kai was surprised when Ye Yifan said this right away: "He and I are like relatives."
"But you are not related by blood."
"But the two families have a good relationship, and Gu Yan is just a kid, why are you arguing with him?"
"A child? An adult child? An eighteen-year-old man understands love and affection. He has crossed the line with you."
"It's not that serious. He's just trying to annoy you. Come to think of it, he's just that little boy in kindergarten who insisted on being my best friend. There's nothing more to it."
"That's what you think, he might not."
"Really, he's actually more naive than you think."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yifan turned around, placed one hand on the back of the chair where Hua Kai was sitting, and leaned close to Hua Kai's face, saying, "You know him so well?"
Hua Kai wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide: "I don't know him, but you may really have misunderstood."
Before Hua Kai could finish speaking, Ye Yifan's deep voice came from the side of Hua Kai's face and said, "But I will be jealous."
Hua Kai's face felt hot; she wanted to dodge, but couldn't back away.
Ye Yifan gently touched the top of Huakai's head: "You understand my feelings. I told myself I would wait until you got your identity before saying these things, but I'm so afraid that someone else will take you away. I know it's not romantic to say these things at this time and place, but I'm really scared. I can't live without you."
Hua Kai felt Ye Yifan's hand trembling slightly. She had thought that Ye Yifan was a person who planned things, so his confession must have been prepared. But she did not expect it to be so sudden and unexpected.
But she understood that Ye Yifan was someone who lacked a sense of security. She whispered to Ye Yifan, "I said I would always be by your side."
