"A man brought it, said he was your friend."
Chi Yue thought it was sent by Chu Shuo, and after some downtime, she sent a "thank you" emoji to Chu Shuo.
Chu Shuo might have been busy, as he hadn't replied to her message.
Two days had passed, and while Bai Qing's condition had stabilized, she hadn't regained consciousness yet.
Chi Yue hadn't closed her eyes in two days. The caregiver, seeing her so exhausted, had advised her several times to rest, but she had refused each time.
That afternoon, as usual, Chi Yue was sitting by Bai Qing's bed when the caregiver brought in two food containers.
"Miss Chi, your friend wanted me to remind you to eat no matter how busy you are, and to not wear yourself out."
Only then did Chi Yue remember that Chu Shuo had never replied to her message, which made her wonder.
If it were Chu Shuo, he would have come to see her.
She asked the caregiver, "Did he mention his last name?"
