Su Mu visited the hospital again two days later, firstly to see Zhou Yaxian, and secondly to ask about the decision Wen Han and Wen Shaoyuan had made regarding her last suggestion.
When Su Mu arrived, Zhou Yaxian was awake but seemed not in good spirits, reclining against the head of the bed, gazing out of the window, lost in thought, with Wen Han sitting by the bed trying his best to get her to eat something. However, Zhou Yaxian seemed not to hear at all, as if she were turning a deaf ear.
Upon hearing a sound, Wen Han turned around, and showed a slight surprise when he saw Su Mu, then stood up from his seat and said:
"Why are you here?"
"I came to see how Auntie is doing. Is she doing okay?"
Wen Han shook his head, put the food on the bedside table, and Su Mu approached to hand the flowers over to Wen Han:
"Go put the flowers in water. Maybe it will cheer Auntie up a bit."
