Sickness

Many days had gone by. Hai's shelter had taken a successful turn and could operate without Xiaoling's help. But because of her love for the cats, Xiaoling would visit and look after the cats with Hai every day. It also kept her mind off things she wanted to avoid, like Weisheng's strange behavior from the other day. 

They had had breakfast together at the same table multiple times after that day. Weisheng would come to greet her after work, too - just from outside her room. 

Xiaoling felt strange. She knew she should've been angry at him for his behavior. But she wasn't angry at all. She was just puzzled. Afraid he might act on his words, she even let Mengzhen tag along from a distance. 

While looking after the cats, Hai entered the shelter with delivery food. 

"Master!" Hai called her for food, "Weisheng sent us food. So thoughtful of him!" 

Xiaoling looked at Hai in surprise, "Seriously?"
