With the years piled on her, it was hard to tell just how and where she was similar to Yan Qingsi. However, when she saw her, Yan Qingsi’s nose began to burn.

 Grandma Xia’s skinny wrist was practically skin and bones. The shape of the needle of the IV drip that was pierced into her vein could even be made out.

 Xia Anlan bent over. “Mom, it’s Anlan,” he said into Grandma Xia’s ear, “I have good news for you. It’s probably something you’ve been wanting to hear the most for decades.

 “Mom, Little Ai did not die at that time. She even gave you a granddaughter. Look… This child looks exactly like you when you were younger. Weren’t you unable to let go of Little Ai? Then wake up and take a look at Qingsi. It’s like seeing Little Ai. This child is just as pretty as Little Ai.”

 Xia Anlan raised his head. “Qingsi… Come over,” he told Yan Qingsi, “talk to your grandmother. Let her hear your voice.”

 Yan Qingsi stood nervously before the sickbed and gulped. “Grand–grandmother… I–am Yan Qingsi,” she stuttered. “I’m…your granddaughter. I’m here to see you today.”

 Yan Qingsi did not know what to say. She was not comfortable talking with elderlies—particularly now that she was meeting her for the first time. She especially did not know what to say.

 “Mom, you better get well soon. You’ll definitely like Qingsi when you see her. She’s a good kid. All the love that we couldn’t give Little Ai, we’ll compensate by giving it to Qingsi. As a grandmother, you can’t just go before taking one look at your granddaughter, right?” Xia Anlan extended an arm and tugged on Yan Qingsi’s hand, letting her take hold of the old lady.

 Grandma Xia’s hand was a little cold. Yan Qingsi was stunned for a while. “Grandmother…” she said, clutching onto her hand. “You…better wake up soon.”

 Grandma Xia has yet to pass through the critical period. The doctor had warned that they could not visit her for too long, every day.

 When their visitation time was up, the two exited the ward and stripped off the dressing gowns they wore.

 “Our only hope right now is you,” Xia Anlan said, “come and talk a bit to your grandmother every day, please?”

 Yan Qingsi nodded her head. “Okay. I’ll do whatever I can.”

 That was her mother’s mother. Of course, she would do whatever she could. What were a few extra sentences so long as the old lady would regain consciousness.

 “I thought of something. When she was young, your grandmother would read idiom stories to your mother every day. Maybe you could start reading them to your grandmother starting from tomorrow.”

 Yan Qingsi bobbed her head. “Sure.”

 Xia Anlan patted Yan Qingsi’s head. “Good girl.”

 Mrs. You noticed that when Xia Anlan was with Yan Qingsi, his smile was warm and gentle, and his eyes were full of affection. She had never seen him like that before.

 She hesitated for a bit, then with worry in her throat, she spoke, “Brother Lan, how’s Auntie? Is her condition stable?”

 Xia Anlan let his arm drop. “She’s okay,” he said lightly, “sorry for troubling you.”

 “It’s my duty. I should be coming more often to take care of her now that Auntie is weak. It’s all because of You Xi—that disobedient child! He created so much trouble that I’ve no way to split myself between problems. But I’ll be here for this period of time and take care of Uncle and Auntie. Brother Lan, you’re always so busy that I can’t help you much. I can only do the best I can. However…with that said, you’re so fast, Brother Lan. You found Qingsi so quickly. If I had paid more attention to the entertainment industry perhaps, I would have found Qingsi sooner and brought her to see Auntie.”

 “We were far too late,” Xia Anlan said.

 Their family was one of the most eminent families in the entire country, and in his palm, he practically held the entire nation as well as power that everybody was envious of the most.
