Su Jiu was speechless.
She threw caution to the wind and nodded. “That’s right. So do you want to come with me?”
“Of course.” Every time Rong Si came back, he would go to see his mother. Only she showed no sign of waking up, and he wondered when she would.
There was nothing the doctors could do. They could only keep telling him that her recovery was up to fate.
Rong Si’s eyes dimmed at the thought.
Su Jiu noticed this with her sharp eyes and held his hand. “Big Brother, don’t worry. Auntie will definitely wake up! How can she bear to sleep for the rest of her life?”
Rong Si nodded and said in a low voice, “I hope so.”
***
In the afternoon, when Auntie Zhang left to buy groceries, Su Jiu pulled Rong Si out of the house and got into the car to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, they found Song Wanqiu’s ward easily. They obtained the doctor’s permission and went in to visit her.
Su Jiu saw a bouquet of fresh flowers on the bedside table. They must have been sent over this morning. It was obvious that the one to send them was Sheng Tianci. He would come over every day to visit Song Wanqiu.
Uncle Sheng is devoted.
Song Wanqiu was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and her eyes closed. She looked like Sleeping Beauty. However, if she would wake up, they didn’t know…
Su Jiu immediately dismissed the thought. Bah! What am I thinking?
What do I mean, if she would wake up? She would!
Looking at the sleeping Song Wanqiu, Su Jiu reached out to hold her slightly cold hand. She pursed her lips and said, “Auntie, Rong Si and I are here to see you again. Every time we come to see you, you’re sleeping. When will you wake up to see us?
“I told you that Big Brother’s previous project won one of the most prestigious awards. He’s become very popular and has many fans. Auntie, you must be happy about this, right? Wake up and tell him he’s done a good job!”
Su Jiu started to nag at Song Wanqiu. Rong Si turned to look at her, and his heart softened.
Although Su Jiu knew that his mother might not be able to hear her, she never tired of talking or telling her about her recent experiences with him.
“Auntie, Rong Si came back yesterday to celebrate my birthday. I was really, really happy. He even gave me a kitten! I showed it to Auntie Zhang. It’s a little male cat…”
Rong Si was stunned.
A male cat?
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Auntie, that kitten is especially cute. You’ll definitely like it when you wake up!”
Su Jiu was talking excitedly when she suddenly heard Rong Si ask, “That cat is male?”
Su Jiu was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she said, “That’s right. Auntie Zhang has three cats at home. She’s an old poop-picker. She can’t be wrong.”
Rong Si was silent for two seconds, staring hard at her. “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have bought it.”
“Hey! Are you going to be jealous of a cat? Surely not.”
“Hm.” Rong Si’s expression was serious. “Since it’s a male cat, you can’t hug it.”
He hadn’t forgotten how that lecherous cat had rubbed against her chest last night. How could he tolerate that?
Su Jiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Okay, okay. I’ll try not to hug it, okay?”
However, if she couldn’t hug it, then there would be no joy in having a cat!
“You’d better do what you say. Otherwise, I’ll take it away.”
Su Jiu’s lips twitched. What the hell? He’s going to take away the cat?
“No, you gave it to me, so it’s mine now. You can’t take it away!”
“Then you can’t like it too much,” Rong Si reminded her. “Otherwise, I won’t be happy.”
