Tang Wei pushed open the door of the ward and glanced at her on the bed. In the end, he turned around and left the ward.
Shang Shiyu stayed in the hospital for several days. Whenever someone appeared at the door, she would stretch her neck to look outside. But she was disappointed every time.
Besides Lan Xiao, the only people who came to see her were her colleagues from the station.
Just as she had guessed, as soon as he returned to the city, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and never appeared again.
The kiss on the plane that day seemed like a dream, but she knew it was all real.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, it was Lan Xiao who came to pick her up.
"I'm alone. I told you to just take a taxi back. You don't have to make a special trip." Shang Shiyu changed out of his hospital gown and came out of the bathroom, muttering to him.
"At least you are discharged from the hospital. Wouldn't it be too sad if you were left alone?" Lan Xiao handed her a bouquet of fresh flowers, "Celebrating your safe discharge."
Shang Shiyu smelled it and it was fragrant. However, she was still in a gloomy mood. She couldn't help but glance at the door again, but finally withdrew her gaze in disappointment.
He won't appear again...
"What's wrong?" Lan Xiao saw that she was in a low mood and tilted his head to look at her inquiringly.
Shang Shiyu snorted in a casual manner, "You also know how miserable it is to leave me alone. I was in Xiayu that day, why did you run away alone?"
"I swear to God, I don't want to leave on my own. I also want to stay with you." Lan Xiao's tone was very sincere, with his hand on his chest.
"If you didn't want to leave, then why did you follow Yun Ling?" Shang Shiyu looked at Lan Xiao, his expression slightly darker, "That day... why didn't Tang Wei go with Yun Ling?"
Lan Xiao could see the expectation in her eyes, and he also knew what kind of answer she was waiting for.
"Why did he stay? Was it for you? You should ask him in person. Like you, it's hard for me to guess what he's thinking. But I can also see that in his heart, you're different."
Shang Shiyu's heart was stirred by Lan Xiao's last words.
But the next moment, everything gradually returned to calm.
"If there is still a difference, maybe..." It was only because she was his ex-girlfriend and they had loved each other. Otherwise, he would not disappear from her world like this again.
He always left so ruthlessly and decisively, and at the moment when she ignited hope, he made her fall into the abyss of despair again.
She no longer dared to hold out hope.
——
Time passes slowly.
The previous variety show had to be temporarily shelved because of Yun Ling's injury. Shang Shiyu continued to work in Youcheng.
Now, she drinks the millet porridge sent by Lan Xiao every morning, eats in the cafeteria on time at noon and in the evening, and her stomach problems have improved a lot.
This day.
Early in the morning, she made an appointment to interview a newly debuted artist. Since he was from Blue Sky Entertainment, she made the appointment directly at Lan Xiao's company.
She went very early and arrived at the basement of Blue Sky Entertainment at 8:30 in the morning.
"Good morning, Miss Shang. I haven't seen you for a long time." As soon as she entered the company, the receptionist of Blue Sky Entertainment greeted her warmly.
"Good morning." Shang Shiyu put the camera on his back and asked her, "Has Miss Cheng Tong arrived at the company yet?"
"not yet!"
"Then I'll wait." Shang Shiyu looked at the time. Newlyweds are always very punctual, and there is still half an hour before their appointment at nine o'clock.
"Oh, right! Miss Shang, this!" Shang Shiyu was just about to find a place to sit for a while when the receptionist bent down and took a thermos from underneath.
This thermos was something she was very familiar with. Every day Lan Xiao would use it to fill up the porridge and bring it to her desk either personally or by having someone else deliver it.
"Lan Xiao has already arrived at the company?" Shang Shiyu asked in surprise, and took the thermos.
"It hasn't arrived yet! But it will be here soon." The other party replied: "I have to pick up a courier, so I'd like to trouble you to give this to Mr. Lan for me later."
Shang Shiyu smiled, "Okay. So you buy this porridge every day? It tastes good."
The other party waved his hand and said, "Ms. Shang, you misunderstood. I didn't buy this. A gentleman brings it to me every day and asks me to pass it on to Mr. Lan."
Shang Shiyu was stunned.
"gentlemen?"
"Yes! It's a gentleman. No matter it's snowing, stormy or raining, he comes every day. Oh, by the way, he hasn't come for a while, and I thought he would never come again. I didn't expect him to come again now."
Shang Shiyu's heartstrings were trembling. She held the thermos tightly and looked at the other person with fixed eyes. "You said you haven't come for a while. Did you say you haven't come for five days in about half a month?"
The other party tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It really was those days."
"So... what does the person who sent this thermos look like?"
"It's not just one person. There are two or three people, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin."
For some reason, Shang Shiyu had an idea and a certain person's figure constantly popping up in her mind. She didn't ask the other person again, but quickly took out her phone and called Lan Xiao.
However, the phone was hung up after only two rings. Then, a familiar voice sounded from behind her, "I'm here."
He came to the company.
Holding the phone, he smiled and waved at her.
Shang Shiyu hugged the thermos tightly and ran towards him. Lan Xiao saw it and understood something vaguely.
"Why are you here so early? You told me yesterday it would be nine o'clock." He took the initiative to speak.
"Who sent this?" Shang Shiyu asked directly. She stared at him intently, her breathing tense, and it was obvious that she was eager for an answer.
Lan Xiao sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide it from her. He glanced at the lounge next to him and said, "Let's go talk next door."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked over there. Shang Shiyu quickly followed with the thermos in his arms.
As soon as they entered and Lan Xiao closed the door, Shang Shiyu asked stubbornly: "Who sent it? Is it for you or for me?"
"Who do you think sent it?" Lan Xiao looked at her seriously.
Shang Shiyu tensed his hands.
The figure had been circling in her mind for thousands of times, ready to appear. However, she did not dare to speak it out loud, fearing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"It's Tang Wei, for sure." Lan Xiao said.
Those two words were so clear and audible that Shang Shiyu was shocked and could hardly believe it.
Lan Xiao continued, "Since you were sent to the hospital for stomach problems that day, he had porridge delivered the next day."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"He doesn't want you to know. If I'm not mistaken, he seems... not to want to give you any hope."
Lan Xiao's words hit the nail on the head. He really didn't want to give himself any hope, but now he has given it!
