As the game was his sole form of contact with Xu Wennuan, whenever he missed her more than usual, he would open the game habitually and look at her profile picture while telling himself that they were not completely out of touch. This thought would make him feel slightly better.
She had been sleeping soundly for the past six months. Except for the recent night when she had sent him a message to thank him, she had only been replying to him early in the morning, so when he saw that she had sent him a message in the middle of the night again, he became anxious. He quickly opened the chat window and, through the smoke from his cigarette, he saw the words "my stomach hurts..."
She'd sent the message only two minutes ago, so Lu Bancheng immediately replied to her without hesitation, "Have you taken your medicine?"
A minute passed, and there was no response, so he sent her another message. "Did you call the doctor?"
