Li Yuanhang drove You Tong back to Hauge's home. On the way, they stopped at a supermarket. You Tong went in and bought glutinous rice and red dates, each of which was carefully selected.
"Okay, I'm going up." You Tong opened the car door and pretended to get out of the car, but Li Yuanhang asked back, "You don't want me to come up and sit down?!"
You Tong was slightly startled. She didn't want to, but making porridge couldn't be done in one go. It would take more than an hour at least. It didn't seem good to ask him to wait downstairs. She bit her lip and whispered.
,"All right."
Li Yuanhang slowly raised the corners of his lips, got out of the car, and followed her upstairs.
The door was opened, and You Tong didn't dare to waste a moment. He quickly entered the kitchen, washed his hands, and then immediately washed the rice, washed and soaked the red dates, then boiled hot water and made a cup of tea for Li Yuanhang.
"Master Li, please sit down." After saying that, You Tong turned around and went back to the kitchen, put on his apron and started cooking porridge seriously.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon. The sun shone in through the window and shone on her body, making her look very warm. Her tail was tied up in a ponytail and then pulled high. Her broken hair covered her ears, and she was so casual and easy-going.
Gentle.
Li Yuanhang looked at the beautiful figure in the kitchen from a distance and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Not wanting her to notice that he was paying too much attention to her, he occasionally withdrew his gaze and looked around the room. His good upbringing allowed him to maintain his grace. Even though he wanted to look at her room, he still held back, only looking at her room.
I walked around the living room twice and found that everything was clean, but it felt a little empty.
A scent of fragrance wafted from the small kitchen. He turned to look and involuntarily came to the kitchen door.
In the kitchen, You Tong had her back to him, holding the pot lid in one hand and a hook spoon in the other, stirring the pot carefully.
That gentle and virtuous look made Li Yuanhang's heart skip a beat.
You Tong turned down the fire, turned his head inadvertently, caught a glimpse of him standing at the door, and was suddenly startled.
She had never been close to the Li family. Although Li Yuanhang was not as mean as Li Jiaqi, she still didn't like contact, especially being alone like this. She pursed her lips and looked away silently.
"Are you ready?!" Li Yuanhang asked, obviously looking for a topic.
"Not yet." You Tong didn't turn around, just replied softly.
"Did you ask for leave today?!" he asked again.
"Um."
"Is the company very busy? Your phone has been ringing this morning." Li Yuanhang pretended to test casually.
You Tong paused slightly with his right hand holding the hook spoon, and said lightly, "Nothing, just a small matter."
Li Yuanhang was thoughtful.
After a while, the porridge was cooked. You Tong took out the thermos cup and put the porridge in it, then took a spoon and put it in the compartment, and finally wrapped it in a bag, "Okay, let's go."
Li Yuanhang stretched out his hand to take the bag, but You Tong dodged his hand, "I'll just take it."
"Okay." He sighed softly.
The two of them went downstairs together, got in the car, and drove to the hospital along the same route.
When the light was red, You Tong looked at his watch. It was already 3:50, and the pathology results would be out in ten minutes. I hope it's good news.
Li Yuanhang was also a little worried, but he still comforted her and said, "Aunt Wan will be fine, don't worry."
"Um."
Suddenly, You Tong's cell phone vibrated again. She put the bag in her hand on her lap, then reached into her pocket and took out her cell phone. She lowered her head and saw that it was Rong Chen.
"Hello, Director." She answered softly.
"Well, it's me, Xiaotong..." Rong Chen called to inquire about her condition, asked a few words of concern, and said that if she was busy with personal matters, she could take two more days off.
You Tong felt grateful. When he finally hung up the phone, he said, "Rong Chen, thank you."
This sentence is spoken in the tone of a friend.
Li Yuanhang was suddenly startled, turned his eyes subconsciously and asked her, "Are you familiar with Rong Chen?!"
"He is my boss."
"That's it?!" Li Yuanhang was worried. Although he didn't know Rong Chen very well, that man's handsome peach blossom eyes were born to attract bees and butterflies, and he was also eloquent. There were rumors in the circle that he wanted to pursue him.
There's nothing a woman can't get.
You Tong was a little angry. This conversation was very familiar. The last time he questioned her about her relationship with Rong Yuchi was like this!
"Master Li, this is my business and has nothing to do with you! It has nothing to do with the Li family either!" You Tong stuffed the phone back into his pants pocket and turned away angrily.
Li Yuanhang wanted to say something again, but he swallowed it hard.
As the car drove back to the hospital, You Tong opened the door and got out of the car without saying a word. Because she moved so quickly, she didn't notice that the phone in her pants pocket slipped out and fell silently on the seat.

You Tong carried the bag and went straight to the ward. Zhao Wanhua had been awake for a while, and Li Jiaqi was sitting by the bed, talking and laughing with her like a baby.
"Aunt Wan, when you get better, how about we go to Paris?! I want you to accompany me to buy beautiful dresses, shoes, perfume...and..."
Zhao Wanhua lay there, smiling weakly, "Okay."
"Aunt Wan is the best. We are going to eat authentic and delicious foie gras together, and then..."
You Tong's appearance suddenly interrupted Li Jiaqi's words. She turned her head and her smile suddenly dropped.
You Tong ignored her, walked directly to the hospital bed, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, are you feeling better?!"
"Well, much better."
"Has the doctor been here? Have the results come out yet?!"
Li Jiaqi interrupted, "My dad went to get the report and will be back soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the ward was slowly pushed open, and Li Hongtao walked in.
"Dad, how are you?!" Li Jiaqi ran over quickly, and Li Yuanhang also looked anxious.
You Tong stood there, waiting with bated breath, but his heart seemed to be beating out of his chest.
Li Hongtao handed them the report sheet in his hand, "It's benign."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and a huge stone in You Tong's heart finally fell to the ground. Fortunately.
Zhao Wanhua herself breathed a long sigh of relief, and moisture oozed out of her eyes unconsciously.
You Tong gently placed the bag he brought on the bedside table, opened it, turned to Zhao Wanhua and said, "Mom, I cooked your favorite red dates and glutinous rice porridge. Get up and eat some!"
"good."
You Tong helped Zhao Wanhua sit up slowly, and then took a pillow and placed it behind her waist.
"Be careful when it's hot." You Tong warned carefully.
"Hmm." Zhao Wanhua took a sip. The creamy taste was light but sweet.
"How does it taste?!" You Tong asked nervously.
Zhao Wanhua raised her head and looked at her, and replied with a choked voice, "It tastes very good."
"Then mom, eat more, I cooked a lot." You Tong smiled, but the corners of his eyes were a little sour.
Zhao Wanhua nodded vigorously, and suddenly she couldn't help feeling. She was on the thin line between life and death. At this moment, she realized that it was so beautiful to be alive, and she owed so much to You Tong over the years.
You Tong saw tears shining in Zhao Wanhua's eyes, but deliberately pretended not to see it, and just urged, "Mom, eat the porridge quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Zhao Wanhua lowered her head and said "hmm" and continued to eat the porridge, but her eyes kept getting misty.

When the time reached eight o'clock in the evening, the nurse patrolled the room again and told everyone, "If nothing happens, the family members can please come back. The patient needs a good rest."
You Tong was reluctant to leave, but had to get up. It was not her turn to stay vigil here.
"Mom, Uncle Li, I'm going back first." You Tong said goodbye politely.
"Okay, it's getting late, so you should go back and rest early." Li Hongtao looked at Li Yuanhang and Li Jiaqi and gestured, "You two go out to see You Tong off."
Li Yuanhang was naturally willing, but Li Jiaqi was reluctant.
You Tong looked back at Zhao Wanhua and whispered, "Goodbye, mom."
"Goodbye. Be careful on the road!"
"Yeah!" You Tong nodded, feeling warm in his heart.
Turn around and leave.
Li Jiaqi stopped when he reached the elevator door, looked at You Tong arrogantly, and said, "Hey, there are so many people in the hospital, so I won't go down. It's not good to be bumped into by an acquaintance. If someone asks about you and Aunt Wan,
Regarding the relationship, please don’t talk nonsense!”
"I know, Miss Li." You Tong lowered his eyebrows and said, she knows, she has always known.
The elevator came up, and the elevator door slowly opened to both sides. You Tong walked in, followed by Li Yuanhang. Li Jiaqi snorted angrily again, turned around and ran away.
When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, they saw a row of taxis parked on the road opposite. You Tong turned to Li Yuanhang and said, "Master Li, there's no need to see you off far. I'm leaving. Goodbye!"
"I'll take you back!" Li Yuanhang ignored her and strode to the parking lot to pick up the car.
You Tong was startled for a moment. She could see that Li Yuanhang was also a little angry.
She bit her lip, glanced at his back, ran away angrily, and got into a taxi without saying a word, "Master, please drive!"
After a while, Li Yuanhang drove back. There was no one at the door. He looked at the taxi that had driven into the night, his eyes far-reaching, and an indescribable feeling of oppression welled up in his chest.
Suddenly, the vibrating sound of a mobile phone sounded in the car. He was startled, and when he heard the sound, he turned around and saw that You Tong's mobile phone had been lost at some time on the car seat. The light on the screen was bright, and there was a dazzling name on the caller ID——
