458 Know Thy Heart 1 (1/2)
What should I reply with? Good night? Nah… good night sounds like I'm trying to end the conversation…
Song Qingchun lay in bed, biting her nails, thinking about it for a long time. She eventually sent a reply. ”Have you taken your medicine?”
This time Su Zhinian's reply came very fast. ”Not yet.”
”Not yet?” Song Qingchun frowned as she typed. She edited the message she was typing. ”Doctor Xia said, you have to take your medicine timely to have a speedy recovery. Why aren't you listening to your doctor?”
Su Zhinian, who was leaning against the headboard, smiled when he read that long message from Song Qingchun. He couldn't help but feel warm from her concern for him.
”I'll take it now.” As he typed a reply, he got out of his bed to pour himself a glass of water. Using his good memory, he shook out the portion Song Qingchun had mentioned that afternoon and tossed it all into his mouth. As he placed the glass down, Song Qingchun's message came. ”Do you still remember how many to take?”
Su Zhinian, who had already taken the medicine, replied, ”I think so.”
It was yes or no question, what does he mean by ”I think so”? Song Qingchun frowned and formulated a long reply for Su Zhinian. ”Two pills from the white bottle, four of the anti-inflammation pills, take one of the smallest white pills, and for the biggest white pills, three.”
Song Qingchun received a ”Hmm” from Su Zhinian before receiving another message. ”Done.”
Due to some inexplicable reason, she felt really happy knowing he had taken his medicine. Holding the phone in her hand, she wanted to continue the conversation, but she had no idea what to say, so in the end, she merely said, ”Good night.”
Su Zhinian stared at the two words on screen and a softness circulated in his eyes. He typed, ”I love you, good night,” on his phone but edited the ”I love you” out before he sent the message.
When Song Qingchun received the ”good night” from Su Zhinian, she felt weirdly comforted. She stared at the message for a long time before raising her finger to swipe up.
