After hanging up the phone, Lu Si absentmindedly rubbed Mei Shu’s fingers, his face showing a pensive expression.
Mei Shu looked at him, but he didn’t react.
“Let’s eat first, we can discuss whatever it is after the meal,” Mei Shu said, pulling her hand away from his.
Lu Si nodded, his face returning to its usual calmness as he looked at Mei Shu. “Finish the soup; this time I skimmed off the fat on the surface.”
Mei Shu nodded. Recently, Lu Si had been cooking soup for her every day— chicken soup, pork rib soup, mushroom soup…
At first, Mei Shu would finish them all because the soups were good, and, most importantly, they were Lu Si’s gesture of care.
But drinking soup every day— who could endure it?
Although her injury had indeed healed quite well, Mei Shu now felt nauseous just looking at soup.
The two of them finished their meal in silence.
Afterward, Lu Si lifted Mei Shu onto a wheelchair and took her for a stroll in the garden.
He called it “aiding digestion after a meal.”
“Can you really aid digestion sitting in a wheelchair? Why don’t I walk a bit? The doctor said moving around would help the wound heal,” Mei Shu argued.
Lu Si only said, “Rest for another two days.”
“About Su Ling…” Mei Shu hesitated.
After all, Su Ling was his aunt, even though there was no longer any familial bond between them.
“Leave that matter to me. Just focus on resting,” Lu Si said.
Mei Shu nodded, suddenly remembering something. “I had someone look into your parents’ matter. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.”
Lu Si nodded and then sighed as he gently touched the back of her neck.
“You always worry about others. Aren’t you tired?” Lu Si’s genuine concern was evident in his words.
Mei Shu smiled up at him. “It depends on who I’m worrying about. I’m willingly worried about you, but I couldn’t care less about others’ affairs.”
Lu Si didn’t say anything, just looked at her with deep eyes.
The hospital garden had many winding paths, but they chose the smoothest one. After all, Lu Si didn’t allow her to walk on her own, so sitting in a wheelchair and choosing this path was the right decision to minimize bumps.
The evening breeze brushed their faces, and there were many other patients in wheelchairs ahead of them. Occasionally, they would stop, and the person pushing the wheelchair would bend down to whisper to the person sitting in it.
They were so similar to the two of them. Lu Si felt as though he had crossed decades of time and glimpsed their future.
Through ups and downs, they would still be together in the end.
“Shu’er, when this matter is resolved, let’s get married,” Lu Si suddenly said.
Mei Shu was slightly startled, and after a moment, she uttered a soft “okay.” Her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it herself, but Lu Si, beside her, heard it clearly.
His lips curled up, his whole demeanor radiating happiness.
Even though the recent events involved Su Ling, causing both of them to feel uneasy, Lu Si’s words made Mei Shu forget about those worries.
Their minds were filled with thoughts of “marriage” as they walked silently.
When they returned, Lu Si put Mei Shu back in bed, poured her a glass of water, sliced a plate of fruit, and then went to the window with his phone.
Mei Shu watched his back, realizing that he was probably going to investigate Su Ling.
“Grandpa.”
As soon as she called him by that title, Mei Shu probably understood what he wanted to do. She didn’t know how to describe her feelings at that moment.
As she had guessed, Lu Si went straight to the point. “Grandpa, I’m getting married. Could you please pick a date for us?”
When Lu Si’s grandfather heard this, his voice was twice as loud as usual. “Hahaha, you little rascal, you’ve finally come to your senses. Don’t worry, leave it to me, and you take care of Shu’er.”
Lu Si made a soft “urn” sound, but he didn’t hang up immediately, indicating that he still had something to say.
His grandfather knew him well. With a chuckle, he said, “Is there anything else you want from me?”
“I want the evidence you’ve collected over the years,” Lu Si hesitated.
His grandfather fell silent immediately. Although Lu Si didn’t explain in detail, his grandfather understood.
His son and daughter-in-law died in an accident. Everyone said it was an accident, attributing it to their bad luck. But he didn’t believe it. After investigating for so many years, he had still found something.
