While waiting for Wang Ran's examination, Sun Lifang received a call from Zhou Yunshi and went to the door to wait for him.
After greeting Mr. Zhong, they went to the coffee shop at the entrance of the hospital.
The port city has very good cultural and recreational facilities.
Even near a hospital, there is a quiet coffee shop like this.
The coffee shop wasn't crowded, and the air conditioning was on, making it very comfortable as soon as you stepped inside.
If they said they were going to wait at the entrance, why did they go into the coffee shop?
The story begins when Zhou Xinya saw a little girl.
I saw a little girl with long hair and bangs wearing a long shawl over her hospital gown as she walked into the coffee shop with her mother.
Zhou Xinya was itching to try it.
She's looking for other children to play with today.
"Tell Dad we're waiting for him at the coffee shop—"
Sun Lifang handed her the phone, saying, "Then you can tell your dad yourself."
Therefore, the final result is as it is now.
As soon as Zhou Xinya came in, she ran off to play with the little girl.
As Zhou Xinya's "mother," Sun Lifang could only order things and come in with her.
Pregnant women can't drink coffee, but the waiter kindly told her, "You can order a mocha with milk, and I'll replace it with whole milk!"
Just kidding, spending the same amount of money on a glass of milk? As a thrifty person, Sun Lifang would never agree to that.
Of course, there was also juice available, but Sun Lifang didn't choose it.
The chubby woman, touching her newly gained fat, looked at another menu item.
After much deliberation, I chose a "tea drink" that the waiter recommended as suitable for pregnant women.
After paying and ordering, Sun Lifang took a deep breath as she looked at the girl's daughter, who was acting like a familiar friend, pulling on someone's arm around her in the distance.
My dear daughter, raising you is really expensive.
"Mommy, Mommy—"
The little girl ran over quietly and introduced her to Sun Lifang in a low voice, "This is my new friend, An Congtong."
Unlike adults, children's friendships are formed very simply. Sun Lifang smiled at the other parent.
The children are all sitting together; it's impossible for the adults to have a separate table.
So, Sun Lifang also sat down at this table.
The little girl named An Congtong is very quiet, pretty, and well-behaved.
When listening to Zhou Xinya speak, she would gently tilt her head, and every move she made was like that of a well-bred young lady.
She's such a pretty young lady; Sun Lifang has no idea how her daughter started chatting with that person.
At that moment, Zhou Xinya pointed to the small garden behind the coffee shop, "Let's go play over there."
She still has a lot to say to her friends.
An Congtong gently shook her head, "No, I—"
She didn't say what exactly it was.
The woman next to her patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Go have some fun."
"Just be careful."
In fact, Sun Lifang could see the longing in the little girl's eyes, but she did not forget the girl's hospital gown.
He's a patient.
Sun Lifang instructed her daughter, "Don't climb high or step on low things, just play on the ground."
There is a small artificial hill and a small fish pond for viewing in the backyard.
Zhou Xinya nodded repeatedly and led her new friend to the backyard.
Saying "run" is not quite accurate.
An Congtong was poised and elegant, her steps were unhurried and steady, and she only walked a few steps quickly while being led by the hand.
"Your hands are so cold."
Zhou Xinya asked, "Why is it so cold? Is it too cold inside?"
As she spoke, she rubbed her friend's hands together.
"My hands are warm, you can hold my hand."
An Congtong smiled and squatted down with her lively new friend to whisper to each other.
Sun Lifang, who was watching from a distance, felt that this scene was beautiful.
Childhood friendships are always the most unforgettable.
Here, her drink arrived.
It's a pot of flower tea, said to have cooling and heat-relieving properties.
Sun Lifang poured two cups and set them aside to cool.
We'll wait for the crazy girl to come back and drink it.
Of course, she didn't forget the woman opposite her either.
Her quiet and elegant demeanor made Sun Lifang sigh: Like mother, like son.
Same as above.
But I can't stay silent, the atmosphere is too awkward.
This is a door that only you can open.
Sun Lifang asked politely, "Your daughter is so beautiful. Where does she go to school?"
Sun Lifang can talk endlessly with people who are even more socially anxious than herself.
The woman said "Oh," took a handkerchief from her bag and wiped away what might not have been sweat before saying, "We don't go to school."
"Cong Tong is sick, we need to get her treated first."
"Oh, oh." Sun Lifang gave a dry, stiff reply, too embarrassed to ask directly, "What illness do you have?"
However, the woman seemed to have opened up, saying calmly, "I'm almost fully recovered after treatment."
"By the way, she has leukemia."
"I underwent a bone marrow transplant and am currently in the observation and recovery period."
Hearing this, Sun Lifang nodded, "It will definitely get better."
"I wish you all the best."
A hint of tenderness appeared in the woman's eyes as she smiled and said, "Thank you."
Just then, Sun Lifang's phone rang.
Quietly answering the phone, she went to the backyard and called her daughter back.
"We're leaving now, Dad's waiting outside."
After downing several cups of tea, Sun Lifang asked her daughter to come over and drink the flower tea that had been cooled.
That solved the problem; nothing was wasted.
Only then did he say goodbye to the other party.
Zhou Xinya was still a little reluctant to leave, so she ran over and asked, "Mom, what's your number?"
She wanted to exchange phone numbers with An Congtong.
We were just passersby on life's journey, and we'll never meet again in these different cities.
But Zhou Xinya didn't understand; she asked for the other person's number.
