In front of Xiaosi's ward, Xinyi was patiently waiting for Zhiyuan. She wondered why it was taking so long for him to return.
"Did something happen back at home? Maybe an argument between Zhiyuan and Grandpa…"
Her heart raced in trepidation. Worried, she dialed his number. It took a while before he picked it.
"Zhiyuan. Is everything okay? You haven't returned yet, so I was worried."
There was silence on the other end.
Xinyi checked her phone to see if the call was still online. "Zhiyuan?"
"Look back."
Xinyi turned to see him standing before her, carrying two bags in his hands.
"Oh! You are here," she took the bags from him and checked them, "What are these for? Oh, you brought some necessities for Ziz and me," she smiled, "Thank you."
Zhiyuan stared at her, seemingly unable to hear her. The words in her diary rang so loudly in his ears that before them, he felt as if everything else had become silent.
