She had seen it, and she had understood . That was enough .
Ou Ming pulled himself off the floor . He slowly felt his way to the bedside and sat down .
On the other side of the door, Yu Lili's voice was becoming increasingly louder and sounding increasingly crazed . Her hysteria was obvious . Finally, her pounding on the door softened, and her desperate shouts trailed off until nothing could be heard .
Ou Ming leaned against the bed and bit his bottom lip . He was trying hard not to cry out . The tears that trickled out the corners of his eyes tasted salty on his lips and carried the scent of weakness . It was such an embarrassment .
So be it .

Ou Ming started to feel dizzy . As he leaned against the bed, he drifted off into a deep sleep .
When he awoke, he had absolutely no idea how long he had been sleeping . Since he couldn't see, he wasn't able to tell apart daylight from the night sky .
Ou Ming stood up . He felt a strain emanating from his shoulder . There was complete silence outside . Yu Lili had left .
…
In order to be able to meet Yu Lili anytime his grandmother wanted to, Shen Zhilie brought the old lady to wait at a café near her apartment complex . Seated there, they were able to see everyone who came in and went out .
Kingstown was a metropolis . Generally, during this time of the year, the whole city could almost be called a ghost town .

Old Mrs . Shen rested her head on the table while staring outside, afraid that she would miss a glimpse of Yu Lili's return .
Shen Zhilie sat opposite the old lady playing with a game on his mobile phone . The sound effects could be heard . He was deeply engrossed .
Suddenly, the old lady jumped up and yelled, "Lili! Lili is back!"
Without giving Shen Zhilie any chance to react, she ran out toward Yu Lili .
Shen Zhilie quickly closed his game app and chased after his grandmother . "Grandma, Lili won't be back at this hour . Please just be good and wait for her inside . Perhaps when Lili returns, she'll find you well-behaved and reward you by spending even more time with you . "

His coaxing fell on deaf ears .
The old lady's steps were too quick . Like an overgrown child, she called out happily, "Lili, you're back!"
Yu Lili didn't expect the old lady to reach her so quickly . She pressed the tears in her eyes back and tried to maintain some sense of normalcy . "Old Mrs . Shen, what are you doing here?"
When she heard that, Old Mrs . Shen became unhappy and asked, "Why are you calling me Old Mrs . Shen? Call me Grandma instead, will you? I've been waiting here for you for a long time . Can we go for Thai food now?"
"Didn't you have that for lunch?" Yu Lili asked .
"Nope," Shen Zhilie answered on his grandmother's behalf with a tone of helplessness . "Grandma insisted on waiting for you to go with us, so we just settled our lunch nearby . "
As he spoke, he noticed Yu Lili's obviously swollen eyes that resulted from an afternoon of crying .
It wasn't just Shen Zhilie who didn't call her out on it . Even Old Mrs . Shen, who constantly behaved like a child in front of Yu Lili, acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary . She went up to Yu Lili excitedly, hooked her arm around Yu Lili's and announced, "Let's go together now!"
Old Mrs . Shen was excited . She knew Yu Lili would return, but she wasn't expecting it to be this early . At the same time, she hadn't expected that Yu Lili would come back looking so sad . It made the old lady's heart ache .
As an elderly woman who would had experienced life, one look at Yu Lili allowed the her to guess the reason .
Well, it's about time to pay the Ou family a visit .
