Aunt Zhang's surgery didn't end until around seven in the evening.

The person was immediately sent to the VIP ward on the top floor. Zhou Niantang stayed there until after nine o'clock in the evening before going home with Lolo.

"The young lady and Aunt Zhang have a really good relationship." Lolo held her hand while waiting for the elevator. There were not many people around, so she dared to chat with Zhou Niantang.

"Well, Aunt Zhang has been taking care of me since I was very young." To Zhou Niantang, Uncle Sun, Aunt Zhang, and Luo Luo who later took care of her, are all treated as family members.

Luo Luo knew that this was because Zhou Niantang was kind-hearted. Before she came to the Zhou family, she had worked as a maid in other families. No other family would use such good medical resources for a servant like Zhou Niantang did.

The cost of staying in the high-end ward alone is quite a bit of money per day.

The elevator arrived, and the two walked up and soon reached the first floor.

Before leaving the hospital lobby, Luo Luo suddenly remembered something. She looked at Zhou Niantang in embarrassment: "Oh no, I just forgot to put Aunt Zhang's information in the ward."

"It's okay, just take it up, I'll wait for you outside."

The young lady at home was indeed considerate. Lolo told her not to wander around and walked towards the elevator.

Zhou Niantang walked outside the hospital lobby and watched the disease science video on the wall with boredom.

"Brother Ashi, I want to eat." The voice of a boy who was in the voice change period, but his words were childish, sounded behind Zhou Niantang.

She wanted to look back out of curiosity, but when she heard the voice below, she held back and hid behind the pillar next to her.

"You can only eat one."

"You can only eat one." The voice in the puberty period repeated the boy's words.

Zhou Niantang secretly poked her head out a little and saw a boy's profile. It was Pei Shi, whom she hadn't seen for nearly a week.

Even though it was just a side profile at this moment, she could see that his expression was gentle, and when he spoke to the boy who was only a head shorter than him, his tone was the softest she had ever heard.

He seemed to be tearing open the candy wrapper for the boy. After he handed it to the boy, he suddenly looked in Zhou Niantang's direction, scaring her so much that she quickly shrank back behind a pillar.

"Let's go. Go back and take your medicine and sleep well, okay?" Pei Shi raised his hand and stroked the back of the boy's head, coaxing him gently.

"Uh-huh!"

Looking at the boy in front of him who kept glancing around and answered "hmm" to everything he said, Pei Shi's eyes were filled with a bit of worry.

"Let's go." He grabbed the boy's arm with one hand and led him out of the hospital lobby.

The fourteen-year-old boy had begun to grow rapidly in size and became incredibly strong. He was worried that it would become increasingly difficult to take care of him.

Zhou Niantang waited until the two men walked away before coming out from behind the pillar.

She looked at the receding figure and reached out to touch the goose bumps on her other hand.

Although Pei Shi's tone was obviously intended to coax the boy, the boy seemed to be a little different from his peers.

However, Pei Shi's tone still made Zhou Niantang feel surprised and nauseated.

Pei Shi, who had played such pranks on her and never had a good face, actually had such a patient and considerate side. This contrast made Zhou Niantang feel even more deeply the complexity of Pei Shi's personality.

But who is that boy? The system didn't say Pei Shi has a younger brother.

And it shouldn't be a child from an orphanage. If it was a child from there, how could Pei Shi, a minor, have the turn to bring him to see a doctor?

But then she suddenly realized that maybe seeing him in the alley that day, and the fact that he went out early and came back late every day recently, were all because of this boy?

If so, it means this boy is very important to him.

Zhou Niantang always wanted to know more about Pei Shi so as to find a breakthrough to ease the relationship between him and the Zhou family.

"Second Miss, what's wrong?" Lolo came over and saw her staring at the entrance of the hall in a daze, and asked with concern.

"Nothing. Let's go." Zhou Niantang naturally did not tell her that he had just seen Pei Shi here.

After leaving the hospital lobby, Zhou Niantang did not meet Pei Shi until he returned home.

The next day, Zhou Niantang went to the hospital to see Aunt Zhang early in the morning. When he arrived, Aunt Zhang was still receiving an IV drip. Although her complexion still did not look very good, she was no longer in pain after the surgery and the analgesia.

Aunt Zhang was deeply touched when she learned that it was Zhou Niantang who called Zhou Yunqi to arrange it yesterday.

Although he was paid by the Zhou family, he had taken good care of Zhou Niantang for sixteen years and treated her like his own daughter.

Aunt Zhang took care of the child who grew up under her care. Not only did she arrange such good medical conditions for her when she was injured, she also insisted on waiting at the door of the operating room for her to come out. She felt that her love for her was not in vain.

So when she saw Zhou Niantang, she pulled her with tears in her eyes and told her all sorts of things like she didn't need to worry.

Zhou Niantang also held her hand back and told her to recuperate here. The Zhou family would bear all the medical expenses. They also notified Aunt Zhang's children in her hometown, and they would come over soon to take care of her together.

Aunt Zhang saw that she had thought so much for her and said with emotion: "Tangtang has really grown up."

Aunt Zhang seldom called her by her name. As far as she could remember, whenever she was sick as a child, Aunt Zhang would hold her in her arms and say things like, "Tangtang, be good, you'll be fine after taking the medicine" and "Tangtang, don't cry."

Later, when she grew up and no longer needed someone to hold and comfort her when she was sick, Aunt Zhang stopped calling her that.

Now that she is not at home, Aunt Zhang speaks to her with more kindness than usual, like an elder showing love to a younger person.

Zhou Niantang suddenly missed her mother very much, although she had only seen her photos, one of which showed a woman who was already at the end of her strength, but still using all her strength to hold her newborn baby, and looking at her with tenderness in her eyes.

She was thinking that if her mother were still alive, she would also look at her so tenderly and feel that she has grown up.

"Auntie Zhang, I'm going to the bathroom." After she said that, she stood up and went into the bathroom to wash her face.

She stopped herself from thinking any further in her mind, and after calming down, she put on a bright smile again and walked out.

They stayed in the hospital until around three in the afternoon. While Ji Shen was visiting Aunt Zhang, Zhou Niantang took a ride with him and went home.

On the way back, Ji Shen received a call, "Okay, you call Xie Xiaotang, we don't need too many people, um, I'll go over."

Then he asked the driver to stop the car and got out first. "You go back by yourself. I have an appointment to play ball with someone."

Zhou Niantang grabbed his arm and said, "Are you playing basketball or hitting someone?"

Ji Shen: ... Is this a fucking worm in his stomach?

“Play ball!”

"I don't believe it. Why do people say that playing basketball doesn't require more people?"
