“Were you very busy last night?”
“Yes. Weiyi…” this was the first time he felt that it was very difficult to face her.
“Yes?”
“Can you promise not to watch television or look up any news on the internet today?”
“Why?”
“Don’t ask me why. I will tell you the reason why after today.”
Zuo Weiyi frowned because she did not understand the meaning behind his words.
However, she did not think too much about it. Anyway, she did not really enjoy spending her time watching television at all.
“Okay then.”
After Zuo Weiyi obediently agreed, Shi Yuting who was standing on the balcony of Shi Mansion smiled satisfactorily.
He sounded very busy. “Remember to eat your breakfast. I am going to be very busy today.”
After that, Shi Yuting was about to hang up the phone.
At this time, Zuo Weiyi anxiously said, “Wait!”
“What is wrong?” Shi Yuting quickly placed the phone back against his ear when he heard her hasty voice on the other end of the line.
“You… will you be coming home tonight?”
“Yes, I will be coming home but I might be a little late. Wait for me at home.”
As soon as she heard his answer, it seemed as though her confused and anxious heart finally settled down a little. After that, she replied softly, “Okay.”
“Weiyi…”
Initially, Zuo Weiyi thought that he would have hung up the phone immediately. However, he suddenly called her name again.
Zuo Weiyi was taken aback. “Yes?”
“Ich liebe dich.”
“What?” Zuo Weiyi did not understand what he was saying.
However, Shi Yuting had already hung up the phone.
Zuo Weiyi’s mind went completely blank as she stared at the empty screen on her cell phone.
What was Shi Yuting trying to say to her?
It did not sound like English either.
Zuo Weiyi sat on the bed as she thought about it for a short while but she could not understand what he was trying to say.
***
Later that morning, Zuo Weiyi lay down on the sofa after eating her breakfast because she felt a little weak.
For the past few days, she had no appetite, and she always felt like sleeping.
As she lay on the sofa, Zuo Weiyi was so bored that she decided to turn on the television instead.
However, as soon as she touched the remote control, she suddenly remembered what Shi Yuting had said to her earlier in the morning.
Even though she did not know his reason, since she had already made him the promise, she would naturally keep her word. Therefore, she quickly put down the remote control.
In order to get rid of her sleepiness, Zuo Weiyi stood up before she walked toward the courtyard as she watered the purple carnations.
As she stared at the dazzling flowers, Zuo Weiyi was suddenly reminded of her mother. She suddenly realized that she had not visited her mother in a long time.
As she thought about it, Zuo Weiyi picked a bunch of purple carnations before she drove to the cemetery.
After arriving at the cemetery, Zuo Weiyi walked toward her mother’s tombstone. She suddenly saw a bunch of chrysanthemums on the ground in front of her mother’s tombstone, and she was a little surprised.
Who would come and visit her mother?
Zuo Weiyi frowned slightly as she stared at the bouquet of flowers on the ground. It had already been more than half a year since her mother passed away and all this time, she had been the only one visiting her mother. So, who could it possibly be?
Xingchen?
No, it did not make sense at all. If it was Xingchen, she would definitely notify her in advance.
Zuo Weiyi gently placed the bunch of purple carnations in front of her mother’s tombstone as she stared at her mother’s picture and updated her mother about her recent life.
After a brief chat with her mother, Zuo Weiyi left the cemetery and when she returned to the seaside villa, it was already 12.15 P.M..
After having her lunch, Zuo Weiyi decided to go upstairs to take a nap because she was feeling very sleepy.
When she woke up, it was already four o’clock in the evening.
