Ai Yujie rode her motorcycle to the hospital. As soon as she parked, she rushed toward Su Liuying's ward. When she reached the door, she peeked through the window and saw Su Liuying lying alone on the hospital bed, staring blankly with her big eyes, her face full of loneliness.
Pressing her lips together, she pushed the door open, pulled up a chair, and sat by the bedside, asking, "Liuying, why are you in the hospital?"
Su Liuying, lost in thought, was startled by Ai Yujie's voice. She came to her senses, looked at Ai Yujie, and forced a smile—but the smile looked more painful than tears. "Yujie, you're here!"
Ai Yujie reached out to hold her hand and asked, "Liuying, what happened? Why are you here all alone in the hospital?"
Unable to ask clearly over the phone, now face-to-face, Ai Yujie's concern was evident.
"Yujie, Yujie…"
Su Liuying sat up, threw herself into Ai Yujie's arms, and began to sob uncontrollably. Her fragility showed completely in this moment.
