That night, Yun Li did not sleep well. She secretly wiped away her tears. Had she treated others the same way in the past? But back then, her relationships were normal, and such intimate actions felt natural; yet now, just thinking about it made her heart ache.
Yun Li tossed and turned in bed, and finally came to a realization: it was all in the past, and there was no need to dwell on it. The next day, she didn’t get out of bed until after ten o'clock. When she glanced at her phone, she realized it was quite late—this was the first time she had slept in so long. Fortunately, it was Sunday, so there were no classes.
Beside her was a cup filled with water; Yun Li remembered that she hadn’t brought any water in yesterday. It must have been placed there by him. She sat up and stared blankly for a moment. She had missed her morning exercises but could make them up later in the evening.
Feeling that her stomach was much better, she got up and opened the curtains. Instantly, the room brightened up. She stretched her body, feeling all her muscles loosen. The heaviness in her heart also seemed to lift.
She ruffled her hair to relax a bit more and gazed out at the vast view outside, which improved her mood significantly. Just then, her phone on the bedside table rang. Yun Li picked it up and saw "Dad" flashing on the screen.
She felt a moment of panic but quickly glanced around the room to reassure herself that she was alone. It wasn’t a video call, so she let out a quiet sigh of relief. With a bit of trepidation, she answered the call, and her father’s deep voice came through: "Hao Hao, have you eaten yet?"
Yun Li tried to steady her voice: "Dad, I’ll go eat soon. What’s up?"
"Nothing much; I just wanted to hear your voice," he replied.
Her voice relaxed considerably as she responded with a soft and clear tone: "Dad, where's Mom?"
"Your mom went to work. They’ve been quite busy at the publishing house lately."
Yun Li's mother was an editor at a publishing company and usually had a hectic schedule, while Yun Zheng had more flexible hours since he ran a large institution where many tasks were managed by dedicated staff.
Taking Mom to work had become Dad's main task.
"Dad, are you going to bring Mom lunch later?"
"Yeah! Hao Hao wants to eat the food Dad makes, right?"
Yun Li blinked and smiled, "Yes! I want to eat Mom's cooking too."
"Once the holidays come, we can eat it every day. Alright, Dad won't take up your time any longer. You should go eat now! Don't let yourself get hungry."
Yun Li nodded, "Mm, be careful driving, Dad."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Li felt even better. She set her phone down and finished the water in her cup; it had cooled down but wasn't cold.
A figure passed by outside the door, which was left ajar. This was because Jiang Shiyu had come in earlier to bring her water and had intentionally left the door open in case she needed anything and he didn't hear her.
Jiang Shiyu had finished preparing the meal and was about to go call Yun Li for lunch when he heard her on the phone. Her voice was soft and playful; even without seeing her, he could imagine how happy she was, radiating an aura of happiness.
He set down the medicine in his hand, grabbed his jacket, and stepped outside.
When Yun Li opened the door, the room was spacious and quiet, with a hint of delicious food in the air. Had he cooked?
Yun Li still felt embarrassed about what happened yesterday. Eating face-to-face would be even more awkward.
Her phone pinged with a message from Jiang Shiyu:
"The room has a private bathroom; there are disposable toothbrushes in the cabinet below. I've made lunch; it's on the table—remember to eat. The medicine is also on the table; I have to step out for a bit."
Seeing that he had left, Yun Li felt a surge of joy and let out a sigh of relief.
