She was just about to go upstairs when Shi Le came down the stairs.
She stopped and looked at Shi Le calmly.
Seeing her return, Shi Le stopped in his tracks and looked a little solemn.
“Yuting doesn’t feel good about what happened. Child, you… should be more understanding.”
Zuo Weiyi was a little surprised by his sudden words.
He had never liked her grandpa. And after what had happened, he would definitely have lost the last bit of good impression she had left in his heart. She had not expected him to actually speak to her.
She forced a smile. “I understand.”
Looking at her, Shi Le nodded, then walked past her and went downstairs.
Zuo Weiyi turned around and saw him walking towards the door. In an instant, she was the only one left in the entire house.
For lunch, she simply made a bowl of noodles. In order to balance the nutrition, she added two eggs.
As she sat in front of the dining table and took a bite, she heard the sound of a car engine door from outside.
She paused and put down her bowl and chopsticks. Just as she walked to the dining room door, she saw Shi Yuting walking in.
Their gazes met, and Shi Yuting stopped in his tracks.
However, in less than two seconds, he shifted his gaze and walked straight to the second floor.
He became so unfamiliar.
After a while, he came back downstairs with a document in hand.
Zuo Weiyi watched as he entered, go upstaris, come back down, and went out the door. Besides a short glance at her, he didn’t look at her anymore.
Her heart was in pain.
It was not until the sound of the engine at the door gradually died down that Zuo Weiyi returned to the dining room. When she sat down again, she could no longer taste the food.
…
In the next few days, Zuo Weiyi would go to the hospital to give Shen Lanzhi a simple massage every morning after Nuannuan came back. Then, she would chat with her the whole morning. Eventually, going to the hospital in the morning seemed to have become her habit.
At night, Shi Nuannuan would go on a vigil and would not return to the mansion.
It was another sleepless night. Zuo Weiyi laid in bed and occasionally, could not help but look at the empty seat beside her.
For five consecutive days, other than Shi Yuting returning once that afternoon, no one else came.
She did not know whether he was in the hospital or busy with his matters.
Even so, Zuo Weiyi was unable to convince herself.
Because before this, he would always come back no matter how busy he was.
He probably did not want to see her anymore, right?
Thinking about it, tears fell once again.
The next day.
Because she could not sleep, Zuo Weiyi woke up very early.
Just as she went downstairs, she saw Shi Le dressed in grand clothes, as if he was going to attend some grand banquet.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, Shi Le turned around and saw her walking down the stairs.
After thinking for a while, he said, “Today is Yuting’s inauguration ceremony. Do you want to go with me?”
Zuo Weiyi was taken aback.
She had heard from her grandpa that Shi Yuting had been chosen as the next President, and the inauguration ceremony was set for today, February 13th.
“There’s no need for that. You can go ahead.”
“Alright.” Shi Le nodded and did not force her any further.
As usual, Zuo Weiyi arrived at the hospital at 7:40 in the morning.
What she needed to do every day was to improve Shen Lanzhi’s sensory abilities and the nerves in her brain. Although she might not be aware of what she was doing, Zuo Weiyi did not want to give up.
