Yu Anning smiled wryly, "I've gotten used to being alone. It's better not to say anything. Could you please pour me a glass of water?"
Ye Qingqing was speechless at the woman's stubbornness. She didn't know how she could be so indifferent to her parents. Moreover, Yu Anning was so seriously ill, yet her parents hadn't even noticed. It was clear that the old couple didn't care about their daughter at all; they only had that scumbag son in their hearts and minds.
The little pig poured a glass of warm water. Yu Anning drank half of it and felt a little better. She wanted to say goodbye and go home, but Ye Qingqing stopped her. "You look like you could be blown away by the wind. I'm worried about you. I might as well go all the way and take you home."
"Really, no need. I'm much better now, I'm fine." Yu Anning refused repeatedly. She wasn't used to accepting other people's kindness. She always did what she could herself, and tried to do what she couldn't. Only when she really couldn't solve the problem would she ask for help.
She is not afraid of others' malice, because she has become accustomed to it and has long since developed an impenetrable armor. The more malice there is, the stronger she will become. However, she is afraid of accepting others' kindness, as it makes her uneasy and restless.
She was afraid that she wasn't good enough, that she would let down others' kindness, and that she would disappoint those who were good to her.
Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes and said reproachfully, "I'm a doctor, you have to listen to me, and I'm not doing this for free, I'm getting paid."
Yu Anning smiled awkwardly, feeling a warmth in her heart. She knew Ye Qingqing had said that on purpose to make her feel better, so she didn't refuse again, but she remembered this favor in her heart.
Little Pig helped Yu Anning walk out. Just as Ye Qingqing was about to start the car, she saw Qi Wenyuan rushing over. Seeing Yu Anning's pale face, Qi Wenyuan quickened his pace, supported the weak Yu Anning, and said reproachfully, "I told you to come with me, but you wouldn't listen. Your temper is just like when you were a child, getting more and more stubborn."
"What are you doing here? I already said I can manage on my own, why did you have to come?" Yu Anning suddenly lost her temper, shaking off Qi Wenyuan's hand. The struggle left her breathless and even weaker.
Qi Wenyuan wasn't angry. He gently coaxed, "Can you scold me after you're better? Now let's go home and be good."
Ye Qingqing stepped in to smooth things over, "Since Mr. Qi is here, I won't see you off. Anning is in your care."
Qi Wenyuan smiled gently, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Anning."
Yu Anning wanted to refuse, but she had no strength and could only let Qi Wenyuan do as he pleased.
Qi Wenyuan was very thoughtful. He first helped Yu Anning into the car and made sure she was seated, then fastened her seatbelt and placed a cushion under her lower back. He also moved the seat back a bit. Only after doing all this did Qi Wenyuan start the car. Ye Qingqing looked at his left ring finger, which was empty. His slender, fair hand looked more like that of a pianist.
This is getting more and more interesting, but she's not in the mood to meddle. Let nature take its course.
The days that followed remained uneventful. Spring quietly arrived, and the sycamore trees along the street sprouted tender green buds. The bright spring sunshine lifted everyone's spirits. After joining the classmates' group, Ye Qingqing, Song Hongye, and Qian Manduo had more contact with each other and would go shopping together whenever they had free time.
Over the weekend, they invited Lü Ziqun to go shopping, hoping to change her spending habits. They couldn't stand how she dressed like an old lady at such a young age.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Zhao Di in the women's clothing department. She was accompanying an elegant old lady shopping for clothes, carrying several paper bags, and seemed to be waiting for someone.
"What a coincidence, Qingqing, you're shopping too!" Zhao Di greeted her with a smile, and introduced the old lady, saying she was just a friend's mother.
"My friend went to the restroom, the one I mentioned to you last time," Zhao Di said shyly.
