“Then let’s go see him when we have time,” Song Lili said to Zhang Qinghua.
Zhong Hu is getting old, and she doesn't want him to run around, so she decides to go by herself.
“Okay, it’s your decision.” Zhang Qinghua looked at Song Lili with deep affection in his eyes.
Song Lili was happy to see Zhong Hu, after all, he was someone she had known and been familiar with for almost ten years.
Not to mention those who are close to you, like family.
Then she thought of the other people she hadn't met yet, and wondered how they were doing.
Shouldn't we find some time to go and see them?
However, Song Lili did not know their address, only that they were in business, and nothing else.
Song Lili felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't she asked for their address back then? If she had, perhaps she could have found them by now.
She was only disappointed for a moment, and then she didn't think about it anymore.
That's just her personality; she won't ask questions unless someone tells her.
If she were to go through it again, she would still choose the same approach; right now, it's just a thought in her mind.
She wondered if she should go to Qian Liulin's place to inquire sometime. Brother Qian should know.
Song Lili had such a plan, but unexpectedly, half a month later, she met several other people. However, at that time, she was no longer in the mood to catch up with them.
That day, Song Lili was looking at some materials given to her by her professor, who said that his foreign friend was coming to visit and asked Song Lili to help entertain him.
What she was looking at was the information on those people, their favorite things, and what they wanted to investigate.
Song Lili has been busy with this matter for the past few days, focusing all her energy on it.
She stopped going to the shop. Zhang Qinghua would keep an eye on things from time to time, while she focused on studying materials at home.
It was at this time that Qian Liulin came over, his face very solemn, and his eyes heavy.
As soon as Song Lili opened the door, she saw Qian Liulin and immediately asked happily, "Brother Qian, what brings you here? Come in quickly."
"Is it urgent today? If not..." Song Lili didn't finish her sentence because she saw Qian Liulin's expression and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
For some reason, she had a gut feeling that something bad had happened, and she began to feel uneasy.
She looked at Qian Liulin cautiously and asked, "Brother Qian, what happened?" Otherwise, why did he have that expression?
“Lili…Grandma Zhao…” Qian Liulin opened his mouth, but after a long struggle, he managed to squeeze out a few words in a dry voice.
"Grandma Zhao? What happened to her?" Song Lili asked anxiously when she heard it was Zhao Qian.
"She...is hospitalized, and I'm afraid she's not doing well," Qian Liulin said with some dejection at the end.
This happened so suddenly that he could hardly believe it, but it was the truth.
It took him a long time to finally accept this fact.
Immediately afterwards, he went to find Song Lili, because he knew that Grandma Zhao liked Lili, so he wanted to let Lili go and see her, perhaps this was the last chance.
He waited outside the ward until the doctor said there was no immediate danger, then he went to find Song Lili.
"She's in the hospital? Which hospital? I'm going to see her." Song Lili hurriedly tried to run outside.
"Lili, don't worry, Grandma Zhao is alright for now, but the doctor said she's old and her health isn't good to begin with." It seems she can't be cured and doesn't have much time left.
What followed was too cruel for him to tell Song Lili.
But Song Lili was so smart and insightful, how could she not know what Qian Liulin had left unsaid?
She sniffed hard, trying to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes and the bitterness in her heart.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Qian, please take me to see Grandma Zhao."
She had long regarded Zhao Qian as her own grandmother, and she was very saddened to hear that Zhao Qian was hospitalized.
"Okay, then pack your things, we'll leave now." Qian Liulin immediately agreed; he had come here to take Song Lili to the hospital.
Song Lili hurriedly changed her clothes, locked the door, and left with Qian Liulin.
Zhao Qian's ward was considered a VIP ward in the hospital, with a good environment and relatively large space.
At this time, there weren't many people inside; they had probably all gone home.
Zhao Xiaoxi stayed behind to take care of Zhao Qian, and she didn't give Song Lili a friendly look.
Song Lili didn't want to argue with her. She came here to see Zhao Qian, so she looked directly at Zhao Qian on the hospital bed.
Compared to the last time we met, Zhao Qian looked much worse, and he seemed listless and sickly.
"Grandma Zhao, how are you feeling?" Song Lili sat down by the bed and looked at Zhao Qian, who was looking at her with her eyes open, her voice very gentle.
"It's alright," Zhao Qian smiled somewhat laboriously, but it was the same smile Song Lili was familiar with.
"Why are you here?" She was happy to see Song Lili.
"I came to see you," Song Lili said jokingly.
"I'm fine. It's just that as people get older, they inevitably have some minor ailments. I'll be fine in a few days," Zhao Qian said with a smile.
But Song Lili could tell that she was actually very tired and was just forcing herself to stay awake.
Song Lili suddenly felt very sad. She had a bad feeling, but she refused to think about that possibility.
Her eyes were a little sore, but she still smiled and said, "Yes, I understand. Grandma will be fine tomorrow after a good night's sleep."
She didn't know if she was trying to comfort Zhao Qian or herself, but the words just slipped out.
"Yes, yes, it'll be better tomorrow." Zhao Qian smiled along, but tears slowly welled up in his bowl.
She seemed to be aware of her current situation.
"Hmph!" But unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Xiaoxi, on the other side of the hospital bed, let out a loud hum.
Song Lili glanced at Zhao Xiaoxi with a cold look before lowering her head again, her voice gentle, "Grandma, you should rest now. I'll come see you tomorrow."
She's been here for a while now, and Zhao Qian has been putting on a brave face, which she can't bear to see.
Therefore, I thought it best to let Zhao Qian rest.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Zhao Qian didn't try to stop her; she was tired too, but she was also very happy.
After Zhao Qian fell asleep, Song Lili and Qian Liulin, who hadn't spoken a word to each other, left the ward.
Then, Song Lili went to the doctor, wanting to know Zhao Qian's specific condition.
The doctor told Song Lili that Zhao Qian had an old age disease, which, to put it simply, meant that he was getting old and his body was becoming weaker.
There's no way to suppress it; we can only let nature take its course.
But Song Lili was very sad because the doctor implied, both openly and subtly, that Zhao Qian's time was up.
She could only wait for her life to slip away, there was nothing she could do but prepare to face whatever came her way.
