"I think in this case, the person who started the trouble should end it," Wu Yilan said meaningfully after a long silence, stating her opinion. "So we should start with Zhai Qintian."
Song Ge unconsciously bit her lip, looking a bit embarrassed. "But now Zhai Qintian won't listen to anything. How can I persuade him?"
Although more than half a month had passed, she could easily guess that Zhai Qintian must still be angry.
Wu Yilan sighed and tentatively suggested, "Maybe you can try to talk to him. Try your best to have a good talk with him."
In any case, they had to persuade Zhai Qintian. This might be the only way to help Zhai Cheng cheer up again.
"I'll try my best, but I'm not sure if I'll succeed," Song Ge said with a headache, but still bravely took on this task.
Wu Yilan quickly agreed and encouraged her, "Maybe things will turn out better than we thought. I believe Zhai Qintian must have feelings for Zhai Cheng."
After making up her mind, Song Ge talked to Wu Yilan about some other things and then hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
"Remember, don't be too impulsive when you talk to Zhai Qintian," Wu Yilan reminded her at last.
Song Ge promised helplessly, "Don't worry. I'll talk to him nicely." For Zhai Cheng's sake, she couldn't mess things up.
Since she was going to talk to Zhai Qintian, she must make some preparations. But what should she bring?
Wandering around the villa alone, Song Ge felt her head was about to explode.
After thinking for almost an afternoon, Song Ge finally decided to take a gamble, betting that Zhai Qintian still had feelings for Zhai Cheng.
In the dead of night, when everyone was in dreamland, no one noticed that a small figure slipped into the study secretly. After staying there for a while, the figure quietly left.
Early the next morning, Song Ge got up very early and left the villa quietly without letting anyone know.
When she arrived at the hospital with a heavy heart, Zhai Qintian had just finished washing and was having breakfast under the nurse's care.
Seeing Song Ge suddenly appear, Zhai Qintian's face changed slightly. He waved his hand and asked the nurse to take the porridge away.
"Uncle, I just want to say a few words. You can continue eating," Song Ge forced a smile and gave the nurse a look.
The nurse looked at them hesitantly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Zhai Qintian didn't even look at the nurse. He said coldly, "You can leave first. I've finished eating."
Since he said so, the nurse didn't say anything more. She pushed the food cart and left.
Suddenly, only Zhai Qintian and Song Ge were left in the ward.
Neither of them spoke first. They just looked at each other in silence.
It was at this moment that Song Ge finally saw Zhai Qintian's current situation clearly.
In just half a month, he looked as if he had aged more than a decade. He looked extremely old.
Compared with his previous state, there was no longer that sharp look in his eyes. Instead, there was a kind of calmness that came from seeing through life and death.
It seemed that this incident had really hit him hard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked so haggard. In this case, was her bet even bigger?
"Aren't you going to say something? Why are you still silent?" Zhai Qintian asked calmly without even looking at Song Ge.
Song Ge smiled awkwardly and slowly walked to the seat beside the bed. "Can I sit down and talk?"
Zhai Qintian didn't answer yes, but he didn't say no either.
"Actually, I came here today to talk to you about Zhai Cheng," Song Ge said straightforwardly without any hesitation.
A sneer came from Zhai Qintian's nose. He didn't even bother to say a single word to Song Ge.
Song Ge wasn't discouraged. She continued, "In fact, he really respects you as his father. He has always been like this."
She was already prepared to be kicked out, but she didn't expect that after saying so much, Zhai Qintian still didn't throw her out. This was a bit beyond her expectation.
"Have you said enough? If you have, please leave," Zhai Qintian suddenly pulled a long face and said rudely, issuing an order to leave. "I don't want to listen to or discuss what you're talking about. Miss Song can leave now."
Although he knew that Song Ge must have come because of Zhai Cheng, he still couldn't face the matter when he heard the name Zhai Cheng.
Song Ge smiled faintly and looked at him firmly in the eyes. "Please don't rush me away. Can you wait until you've seen what I've brought?"
She smiled mysteriously, making it impossible for Zhai Qintian to say no. He nodded noncommittally, still in a bad mood. "What am I going to see?"
Hearing this, Song Ge took out her bag and took out the things one by one until the bedside table was almost full.
Looking at the things on the bedside table, Zhai Qintian felt that they were a bit familiar, but he wasn't sure where he had seen them.
For a moment, there was a more complicated look in his eyes.
"Uncle, do you feel familiar with these things?" Although it was a question, there was no doubt in Song Ge's tone.
Zhai Qintian kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
"I got these from Zhai Cheng. He showed them to me once before," Song Ge recalled, with a warm smile on her lips. "From the way he talked and the way he protected these things, it's obvious how much he cherished them."
Listening to Song Ge's words, an idea popped up in Zhai Qintian's mind.
"Uncle, you're right. These are all the gifts you gave him. He has always treasured them and would take them out to look at them from time to time," Song Ge unconsciously picked up a toy and played with it, her eyes looking far away.
Zhai Qintian stiffened and a look of uneasiness flashed across his face, but he still coldly retorted, "What do you want to say?"
He deliberately avoided looking at those things, but he couldn't resist his true feelings. His eyes always inadvertently fell on the small toy.
No wonder they looked familiar. It turned out that they were all the gifts he had given Zhai Cheng.
"Actually, I just want to tell you some things that happened when I was with Zhai Cheng," Song Ge said. Seeing a touch of emotion in Zhai Qintian's eyes, she suddenly felt much better. "He's very stubborn. Once he makes up his mind about something, he doesn't listen to others very much."
After making sure that Zhai Qintian wouldn't strongly oppose her, Song Ge slowly told him some small experiences that showed Zhai Cheng's trust and admiration for him.
Zhai Qintian was thinking about his own things from beginning to end and seemed to be indifferent. But Song Ge was sure that he had definitely listened to what she said.
Because she saw a complex and entangled look in his eyes.
