“Uncle Zhang is here, and there are others in the hospital. You don’t have to stay here with me.”
“Grandma, I’m not bored.” Qiao Mianmian handed her another piece of fruit. “I’ve been idling at home for the past two days and have nothing to do. I’m quite happy to be here with Grandma.”
Old Madam looked at her even more lovingly.
“Really? Don’t force yourself to stay here.”
“Grandma, I’m not forcing myself at all. I swear. Do you find me annoying and want me to leave?”
“How could that be?” Old Madam grabbed her hand and patted it gently. “I’m just afraid that you young people won’t be used to it. Grandma is so happy that you’re here with me, why would you bother me?”
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door.
The door opened and the old lady greeted him. “It’s Chen Chen. Come to Grandma.”
Qiao Chen carried the fruits and supplements in his hand and placed them on the bedside cabinet.
“Grandma, do you feel better?” Qiao Chen was pulled to sit beside Qiao Mianmian.
“Much better.” Old Madam nodded with a smile. “Seeing you, Grandma has recovered.”
…
The siblings chatted with Old Madam for a while until they saw she was sleepy. Then, they left the ward.
“Chen Chen, how’s your revision going? Do you have confidence in yourself?”
Qiao Chen would be taking his college entrance examination soon.
Although Qiao Mianmian was very assured of him, the college entrance examination was a very important matter in his life, after all. She still had to be concerned.
“Mm, I’m almost done revising.”
“Have you thought about which school you want to apply to?”
“Mm.” Qiao Chen nodded. “I’ve thought about it. Sister, I plan to apply for S University.”
“S University?”
“Mm.”
“Then, are you confident?”
S University was one of the best universities in the country.
It wasn’t easy to get in.
Although Qiao Chen’s grades had always been top-notch, everyone who could enter S University had outstanding grades.
Qiao Chen smiled. He looked so handsome and youthful. “Sister, I’m confident. Getting into S University isn’t difficult for me.”
“That’s good.” Qiao Mianmian patted his shoulder. “Chen Chen, all the best.”
“Mm. Sis, you can do it too.”
Qiao Mianmian looked at the time on her cell phone and asked, “Where are you going now? Home?”
Qiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. A few seconds later, he said, “I-I have a friend in this hospital. I want to see her.”
“You have a friend in this hospital, too. It’s…” Qiao Mianmian was about to ask who it was when she suddenly recalled something and smiled. “That friend of yours, is it Shen Xin? She’s not discharged yet?”
Qiao Chen blushed.
He nodded. “Mm.”
“Then go.” Qiao Mianmian waved at him.
Qiao Chen nodded and left.
…
Shen Xin was lying on the bed, reading a book.
She was alone in the room.
He could hear her flipping the pages occasionally.
