Su Qianci was in a difficult spot and looked toward Li Sicheng.
Seeing Li Sicheng keep silent, Yu Lili spoke again, “It’s New Year’s day. There must be plenty of waiting for you to do at home. Even if you don’t need to handle them personally, the three children are still waiting for you to take them out to play. How can their parents not be by their side?”
Su Qianci was already wavering in her decision. Now that Yu Lili had put it to her in such a manner, she was even more undecided. She looked at Li Sicheng and turned back to face Yu Lili, and said, “Then… We’ll go first. You don’t even have a coat on you. I’m guessing you didn’t bring any money either, right?” As she spoke, she took her wallet out of her handbag and took a few notes out.
Yu Lili rejected it immediately, but Su Qianci explained, “Take it just in case. You can return it to me tomorrow, or you can transfer the money to me when you recharge your phone. It’s fine. Remember to eat and remember to get something to drink.”
Yu Lili nodded at Su Qianci’s instructions. Then she looked down and saw that she was still wearing Su Qianci’s light green coat. She was about to take it off and return it when Su Qianci stopped her and said, “Just take it first. I’m not cold.”
Su Qianci stood up as she spoke and held Li Sicheng’s hand. “We’ll leave then. If there’s anything, give us a call,” she said.
“Alright.” Yu Lili’s heart was warmed, and she looked at Su Qianci gratefully.
Su Qianci was finally rea.s.sured, and she walked out holding Li Sicheng’s hand.
Once they were outdoors, Li Sicheng held Su Qianci’s hand in his instead and asked, “Are you cold?”
“Not at all.” Su Qianci was wrapped inside Li Sicheng’s coat. She took one look at the thin woolen s.h.i.+rt he was wearing and asked in return, “You’re cold?”
“I’m so cold,” Li Sicheng declared as he opened his arms towards her. “Hurry and warm me up.”
Su Qianci giggled, and pulling the coat close, she ran into his open arms. She looked up at him and asked, “Are you warm now?”
“Yeah, I am.” Li Sicheng tapped her on the tip of her nose and said, “Come on, let’s go home to celebrate the New Year.”
“If anything pops up with Ou Ming, will his mother notify you?”
“She will.”
…
Yu Lili sat and waited inside the resting lounge. Coming in and out were all either young mothers with their children or old people with their other halves.
She waited until it was past nine at night.
Her body was starting to ache, and she stood up to stretch when the phone in her hand suddenly rang.
It was Wen Fenglin’s phone. Without question, this call must have come from Wen Fenglin himself.
Yu Lili picked up the call immediately and said, “Mr. Wen, how is he?”
The unique sound of Wen Fenglin’s voice came through, raspy but not in an unpleasant way. “Come over. Ou Ming’s situation is not very stable. He is looking for you,” he answered.
Yu Lili almost burst into tears upon hearing this.
She dashed out at once with the phone still in her hand and ran towards the room Ou Ming was in.
When she was still some distance away, she heard the booming sound of Ou Ming shouting.
It sounded like he had snapped. At the same time, his voice carried a tone of despair, as if he had just experienced unbearable pain. He roared hysterically, “Go! Get lost!”
“Mom, will you go and take a look? That silly lady must still be waiting for me at the Matchmaker’s Lake near the train station. Tell her not to wait for me anymore. I can’t go to her…”
