Ever since Sutan had given her word to He Chengfang, she made it a point to visit the hospital whenever she was free from her duties at the film studio. Sometimes she would stay for an hour or two, other times for four or five.
He Chengfang, fearing that her presence might make Sutan feel too embarrassed to speak her heart to Hechengming, would always find an excuse to leave whenever Sutan arrived. There were soldiers guarding the door, and He Chengfang had given them explicit orders: under no circumstances was He Yingzhen to be allowed inside.
On the second day of Sutan's visits, He Yingzhen had come to the hospital as well. Hearing that there were signs of Hechengming waking up, though the exact time remained uncertain, she wanted to be by his side every day. She wanted to be the very first person he saw when he opened his eyes. However, He Chengfang blocked her at every turn. After being turned away twice, He Yingzhen grew tired of being rebuffed. She figured that since the doctor had predicted Hechengming would wake up within a week, she only needed to time her visits for the sixth or seventh day.
