"Girl, you've been resting for a month now, and it's time for you to wake up. If you don't come around soon, our whole family won't be able to bear it. Without your care, this old grandfather of yours has aged a decade. You'd better wake up quickly, or else you'll have to spend time treating me again."
"Girl, your dad, your uncle, your aunt, Qing, even Auntie Zhang—everyone has lost weight this past month. You've been sleeping so peacefully, but once you've had enough rest, it's time to wake up, understand? These old bones of mine can only hold on for a few more days."
"Girl, do you still remember when you were little, back then..."
Shangguan Zhi sat by the bedside, gazing at Shangguan You's slumbering face and murmuring softly.
After a full half-hour, Shangguan Zhi heaved a deep sigh, tucked Shangguan You in again, switched on the dim wall lamp, and then left the room.
