Xu Kewei stared at her, opening her mouth yet unsure of what to say. Her health was a questionable subject—how many years her kidney could hold up was itself a concern. She did not wish to burden others with her problems.
"Mom——" Wanqing nudged her gently, "I'm serious!"
"Seriously what? You're just a child; don't meddle with adult matters!"
Wanqing giggled, "You're shy~"
"You're teasing me now? Go to sleep!" Xu Kewei shook her head and quickly left so as not to be dragged further into the conversation.
Gradually, Wanqing hid her smile. She turned off the light, listened to the whir of the fan, and scrolled through her phone to Mu Tianying's number. She hesitated but didn't dial. As her cursor blinked in the message box, she didn't know what to write. She began with "goodnight", erased it, and finally stuffed her phone under her pillow and tried to sleep.
The next day, they went to the flower shop again.
