Chapter 144 Invitation
Chapter 144 Invitation
Perhaps I was too engrossed in my thoughts, because I didn't notice when the car arrived home, and I didn't even pay much attention to when Assistant Luo left.
When I came to my senses, only Song Yafei and I were left in the car.
I grabbed my things and was about to get off the bus when Song Yafei stopped me. "Why do you just abandon people after you've used them?"
I looked back at her, wondering what she meant.
Song Yafei wasn't upset, she just asked me, "Aren't you going to invite me up for a bit?"
So that's what it meant, just sitting for a while?
I couldn't quite believe it.
But she's helped so much this time, so it's only right to let her come up and sit down.
Would you like to come up and sit for a while?
Song Yafei, with a big smile on her face, got out of the car with me and went upstairs.
As soon as I opened the door, Liu Liu jumped onto me eagerly.
I quickly put my things aside, smiled, and hugged the little guy. He was very clingy after not seeing me for a few days, and kept snuggling into my arms.
These days I'm staying in the hospital, and I've asked Song Yafei to take care of my family.
Song Yafei poked the little guy's head with her finger and scolded him, "I've been feeding you for days for nothing."
As if sensing human emotions, Liu Liu jumped into Song Yafei's arms again at her call.
I happened to have some free time, so I took the things into the bedroom.
When I came out, Song Yafei had already taken off her high heels, tossed them aside, and was half-lying on the sofa, holding Liu Liu in her arms.
The sunlight streamed in, falling on her face and seemingly coating it with a golden hue, making her look languid.
For a moment, I felt a little lost, as if this was the life I wanted: comfortable and cozy, simple yet warm.
Not wanting to disturb this moment of warmth, I gradually leaned against the door frame.
When Song Yafei came to her senses, she looked at me and waved, "What are you standing there for? Come and rest for a while."
But her wave brought me back to reality.
It seems that every move Song Yafei makes can easily change my decision and disturb my mind.
But this time, my decision not to leave was abandoned halfway through.
I also reined in my wanton heart, and as noon approached, I prepared to cook some dishes.
I went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and found it crammed full, which must also be Song Yafei's handiwork.
Song Yafei called out to the kitchen, "Zhang Tian, I want to eat your Mapo Tofu and spicy stir-fried crab."
There were indeed these things in the refrigerator. It seems they weren't prepared for me; she prepared them for herself.
I had just taken something out of the refrigerator when Song Yafei rushed in and pushed me out.
I held up my wet hands and looked at her strangely.
Song Yafei explained apologetically, "I forgot you're still a patient. You can go out now, I'll do it for you."
Is what she made edible?
I squeezed into the kitchen from the side again. "It's okay, much better. It's just a meal, it's a very easy thing."
In the end, neither of us could leave the kitchen, and we both cooked each other's favorite dishes.
When we sat down to eat together, we were a little embarrassed looking at the six dishes and one soup on the table.
This is enough for four people!
In the end, we still managed to have a pleasant meal.
When I came out of the kitchen after dinner, Song Yafei had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
Liu Liu obediently squatted beside the sofa, quietly keeping watch.
Today's events seem to be reminding me how warm and cozy this place is, constantly reminding me of my longing to have a home.
I tiptoed closer to her, stood there, and looked down at her for a long while.
Many past scenes flashed through my mind, each one overwhelming me.
Finally, I turned around and went into the bedroom, took a blanket, and gently covered her with it.
Thinking that Lin Qiuran was still alone in the hospital, and having promised to visit Wu Qian, I didn't delay and grabbed my keys before heading out.
Liu Liu walked to my feet, and I lowered my voice, "Liu Liu, stay home and take good care of the house, and come back soon."
Liu Liu obediently retreated to the door, I closed the door, and then went to the hospital.
I went to see the child first, and then I went to see Wu Qian.
Both of them are recovering well, and their condition is much better than before.
Things seem to be moving in a positive direction.
I couldn't help but tell Wu Qian about Lin Qiuran's hospitalization.
She was so happy she almost jumped out of bed, but the pain from the wound on her stomach made her wince, so she lay back down.
Aunt Wu, standing nearby, was heartbroken. "My child, do you even want your stomach wound to heal?"
"It's alright, as long as Qiu Ran is alright, I'm fine with anything."
Seeing how happy they are, I wonder how heartbroken they would be if they knew about Lin Qiuran's injury.
Noticing something amiss in my expression, Wu Qian suddenly asked, "Is he seriously injured?"
I'm finding it hard to say, and I don't know whether I should or shouldn't.
"Brother Tian, just say what's on your mind. There's nothing you can't bear. As long as the person can come back, nothing else matters."
So I told Lin Qiuran the truth about her current situation.
To my surprise, Wu Qian wasn't worried at all; on the contrary, she was quite optimistic.
"It's okay, as long as he's back! Didn't you say that his hand can recover completely with proper rehabilitation? It's alright, I'll stay with him, everything will be alright."
Hearing her say that, I breathed a sigh of relief and was genuinely happy for Lin Qiuran.
He's so lucky to have met a woman like Wu Qian who shares his joys and sorrows!
It was worth it for him to risk his life so recklessly for Wu Qian!
Wu Qian was very anxious to see Lin Qiuran. If it weren't for my and her parents' strong opposition, and our use of her injury as an excuse to stop her, she probably would have gone to find Lin Qiuran immediately.
The reason I stopped her was because the shocking injuries on Lin Qiuran's face and legs were still very noticeable.
Seeing this, Wu Qian would probably feel heartbroken again. Knowing Lin Qiuran as I do, even if he misses her, he wouldn't want her to worry at this time.
I took some photos of the child and Wu Qian, and then sent them to Lin Qiuran.
The child is recovering very well now. With the help of professional doctors and special care, he has finally survived this ordeal.
This can be considered a good deed done by Ms. Dong.
Lin Qiuran saw these photos and quickly called me.
During the phone call, he talked only about Wu Qian and the child. They seemed to be doing well, which put his mind at ease.
He also said how much the child looked like him, with his nose and eyes practically identical to his own.
The happiness in her words was the envy of everyone around her.
I was already home when I received his call.
When they got home, Song Yafei was nowhere to be seen. The blanket that had been covering her was piled up on one side of the sofa.
The faint outline of her lying down remained on the sofa, proving that she had been there, and her fragrance still lingered in the air.
But when I saw the empty room, I felt an indescribable sense of loneliness, as if her frail figure alone filled the room.
