When she saw Hao Ren and his grandmother in the room, she confirmed that she didn’t walk into the wrong ward. She walked towards Hao Ren slowly, turned to his grandmother on the hospital bed, and asked softly, “Grandma, do you feel better?”
“Haha, I feel a lot better,” Grandmother replied. Turning around, she asked Hao Ren, “This is…”
“Ah, she’s Zhao Yanzi, the little girl who I’ve been tutoring recently. You fainted last night, and her mother took you to the hospital,” Hao Ren replied.
Hearing that Hao Ren called her a little girl, Zhao Yanzi pouted unwillingly.
“So, this is my little savior!” Grandma looked at Zhao Yanzi with appreciation. “Come here and let grandma have a good look at you!” she said.
Zhao Yanzi came closer to the hospital bed when she saw Grandma waving at her.
Grandma narrowed her slightly-cloudy eyes and observed Zhao Yanzi happily. After she saw this little girl with the ponytail being so delicate and cute, it struck her soft spot as an elder. She gently stroked Zhao Yanzi’s head and said, “This little one is so pretty!”
Zhao Yanzi smiled as she heard Grandma’s compliment. Her eyes curved like a bright half-moon, and that made Grandma like her even more.
“Ren, little Zi is my savior. You have to work harder when tutoring her in the future!” Grandma stroke the head of this cute porcelain doll-like girl and said to Hao Ren.
Zhao Yanzi heard her words and looked at Hao Ren with pride as if she obtained the Shangfang Sword 1 . Hao Ren could only nod his head.
“By the way, why are you here?” Hao Ren looked at Zhao Yanzi and asked.
“I only have a half day of school on Fridays. I got off early and wanted to come to take a look,” Zhao Yanzi said.
Even though she spoke calmly, Hao Ren knew she was worried about his grandma and came to see her. He looked at Zhao Yanzi and thought, “Even though this little girl is harsh when she speaks, she is kind-hearted.
“Have you eaten lunch yet?” Hao Ren asked her.
“Going to go home and eat,” she answered.
“I’m going to buy lunch for Grandma. Do you want me to get something for you too?” Hao Ren asked. He knew that Zhao Guang had work today and Zhao Hongyu might be busy welcoming a foreigner. If Zhao Yanzi went back home now, there wouldn’t be anything for her to eat.
Zhao Yanzi thought for a bit and left her backpack on the chair beside the hospital bed. “I’ll go with you,” she said.
Grandma lied on the hospital bed, listened to their conversation quietly, and thought, “This little girl is great.”
However, she could never think that this lovely girl was her granddaughter-in-law.
Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren went downstairs, walked to the restaurant near the hospital, bought three meals, and returned. Perhaps Hao Ren was surprised by Zhao Yanzi’s voluntary visit; he felt like this girl wasn’t as inconsiderate as before.
When they returned, a few nurses were planning to change Hao Ren’s grandma into a different room. It was because Zhao Hongyu used her friend’s connection and talked to the hospital’s superintendent, and that was why the hospital was moving Hao Ren’s Grandma from a general ward to the best private room.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi helped carry some items and followed the nurses and Grandma to a south-facing private room with better air quality.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi carrying a bunch of stuff in her hands, Hao Ren had a more favorable impression of her.
A nurse pulled the curtains to the sides, and the bright sunshine from the garden outside immediately brightened the whole room. This was definitely one of the best places in the hospital.
“Lunchtime, Grandma!” after his grandma settle down, Hao Ren brought her lunch to her.
“You guys eat too. Don’t starve yourselves!” Grandma said while looking at Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi. She felt like this Zi, as Hao Ren’s student, had helped out more than enough today.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi opened their lunch boxes. Zhao Yanzi was craving for the braised pork in Hao Ren’s lunch box, so Hao Ren had to give it to her.
Grandma was slightly confused when she saw them fighting but yet also being very intimate.
After lunch, Hao Ren asked the nurse to change the saline solution and watched Grandma as she fell asleep. Zhao Yanzi was going to go home, but she stayed because she thought this room was wide and comfortable, and she started to do her homework here.
At the table in front of the window, Zhao Yanzi’s body seemed to become more feminine under the sunshine. Through the light, her curvature in the blue school uniform was perfect, and her arms underneath the sleeves seemed translucent and cute.
Hao Ren sat beside her and answered all of her questions patiently. Their bodies formed a pair of shadows, cuddling on the floor of the room.
Time passed by, and Zhao Yanzi finished half of the weekend’s homework with Hao Ren’s assistance. A few of her textbooks were still at Hao Ren’s place, and Hao Ren could only return them to her on Monday.
“Ah they changed the room…,” a gentle voice sounded. Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi turned their heads around and saw Zhao Hongyu appear in business attire at the door.
“Why are you here, Zi?” she was slightly shocked when she saw Zhao Yanzi.
From Zhao Hongyu’s expression, Hao Ren was positive that visiting Grandma was Zhao Yanzi’s own idea.
“Um, I came here to visit Hao Ren’s grandma,” Zhao Yanzi packed up her homework and said.
Zhao Hongyu smiled in gratification. She probably felt as if Zhao Yanzi had suddenly grown up.
Hao Ren saw that there were a bunch of fruits and dietary supplements in her hands, and he walked over quickly and said, “Why did you buy so many things for us, Auntie?”
“It’s nothing,” Zhao Hongyu smiled as she put the fruits and dietary supplements by the cabinets beside the hospital bed
She asked Grandma, “Are you alright?”
Hao Ren’s Grandma wasn’t dull and knew who Zhao Hongyu was from her conversation with Zhao Yanzi. She sat up and said, “Thank you for bringing an elder like me to the hospital yesterday.”
“Don’t mention it. That’s what I should do!” Zhao Hongyu answered frankly.
Grandma continued and said, “The money for the hospital…”
Zhao Hongyu held Grandma’s fingers and didn’t let her continue, “Please don’t worry about it!”
Seeing Zhao Hongyu being so polite about the issue, Grandma felt terrible and repeated, “No, no, no…”
“Auntie! Please don’t treat me like a stranger. We are a family…,” Zhao Hongyu said.
“A family?” Grandma looked at Zhao Hongyu in confusion.
Hao Ren felt like his heart just dropped on the floor.
