A Billion Stars Can't Amount to You

At eight in the evening, the sound of thunder rang out from the cloudy skies which had prevailed for the entire day. The pitter-patter sound of raindrops was heard as they rained upon the windows.

The rain got heavier. At nine in the evening, the intense sound of rain outside was louder than Cheng Weiwan’s voice as she read Cheng Han the story.

Cheng Han’s fever hadn’t completely disappeared. After dinner, the nurse came in and gave him two pills to take. Soon after he cuddled in Cheng Weiwan’s embrace, he fell asleep, snoring at the sound of Cheng Weiwan’s gentle voice.

At about half-past nine, Cheng Han was fast asleep.

Cheng Weiwan stopped reading and stared at Cheng Han’s little face for a while as he slept soundly. Then she transferred him into the bed and carefully pulled the covers over him.

An entire day passed and Cheng Han was now asleep. Cheng Weiwan knew she should leave.

She reached out and caressed Cheng Han’s little face, reluctant to leave. She got up, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and just as she was ready to pick up her bag, she felt her phone vibrating in her hands. Thereafter, she heard the sound of her phone ringing. She was afraid it would wake up Cheng Han, so she quickly took the call without even looking at the screen.

Before Cheng Weiwan could speak into the phone, she heard a familiar voice. “Wanwan, are you still at the hospital?”

She was going to ask “Who is it?” when those words instantly stopped at her lips. She lowered her voice and cried “Yinan Ge.” He replied, “Uh huh, yes.”

It was unclear what he said, but she lowered her voice again. “I’m about to head back home... dinner? Haven’t eaten... Aren’t you really busy in the next two days?... It’s okay. You don’t have to come all the way over just to have dinner with me. I can go back home and get Muqing to stay with me...”

The man she called “Yinan Ge” seems to have a pretty good relationship with her... The tapping sounds on Han Zhifan’s keyboard became a little disjointed.

“...What’s more, I still haven’t eaten the nutritional supplements you gave me a few days ago. I’ll be fine with eating those tonight...”

Nutritional supplements... the man on the phone is the person who took her back home. Was he the man who stayed with her outside the hotel building yesterday for most of the day?

Han Zhifan stopped tapping on the keyboard.

“...It’s really okay. Anyway, it’s raining so heavily. It’s pretty troublesome for you to come...”

Before Cheng Weiwan could finish, Han Zhifan suddenly shut his laptop and threw it aside. Then he got up, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her out of the patient room without another word.

After shutting the door, Han Zhifan swung Cheng Weiwan aside, stared at her, and said with a cold voice, “If you have to take a call, get out! Don’t wake up my son sleeping inside!”

With that said, Han Zhifan swept a look at the phone in Cheng Weiwan’s hand which was still in the middle of the call. His facial expression turned dark and he stepped back into the room.

He always got angry randomly like that. Cheng Wiewan thought she would be used to it by now, but she never imagined he could still make her stunned.

She didn’t come to her senses until she heard Yinan Ge cry out “Wanwan” over the phone.

She was just about to reply when the door opened again. Han Zhifan stepped out with a cold look on his face.

Cheng Weiwan was afraid Yinan Ge would catch him saying something horrible, and she quickly changed what she was going to say. “Yinan Ge, I’m a little bit busy over here, so I’ll hang up first.”

Before she could hang up the call, something was chucked into Cheng Weiwan’s arms...
