Wang Chunlin suddenly grabbed Chen Ke's arm, his mouth gaping slightly as if he had dementia, and stared at Chen Ke pleadingly.
Professor Liu and Wang Ailin were somewhat anxious, and Professor Liu took out a small notebook and began to sketch and write. Just as Wang Ailin was about to call out to Chen Ke, he raised his hand to make a "stop" gesture and stopped her.
"Mr. Wang, it seems like you've just come back from a very distant place," Chen Ke said softly.
"I… I was, I…" Wang Chunlin tightly clenched Chen Ke's arm, his words unclear.
Chen Ke sat on the bed nearby and said to Professor Liu, "Please pour a glass of water for Old Wang."
Professor Liu was startled but quickly went out the door, reminding them before he left, "Wait for me to come back before you continue talking."
The sound of Professor Liu's footsteps hurried down the hallway; surprisingly, he could still run so fast at his age.
