Over the next two weeks, a psychologist from the medical center visited twice, and while the effects of each session were not significant, they were still noticeable.
At least now my little sister is willing to eat some white rice and vegetables, and sometimes she can even say a word or two.
During this time, the two families from Yudu moved back to Zheng Wan's home from the gymnasium.
Because Chen Siyu's neighborhood had collapsed, but Zheng Wan's house hadn't, they decided to stay there for a while until the other houses were rebuilt, at which point they would leave.
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng were very welcoming, especially Mrs. Zheng, who held Mrs. Chen's hand as if afraid she wouldn't come, saying, "It's good to have more people; these days, you can take care of each other when you have more people."
On the other side in Yangzhou, Cheng Zhi looked at Xiao Zhi and sighed repeatedly.
Xiao Feiran passed by and nudged Cheng Zhi, "Alright, sighing at it won't help. Artificial intelligence can't truly empathize with humans after all. It's not that it's not working for my little sister on purpose. Just let it go."
That's true. Cheng Zhi finally stood up, no longer staring at Xiao Zhi. "It's been two weeks, and my little sister has only said less than 20 words in total, and most of them were 'older sister.' It's really..."
Huang Yiyi, who was eating potato chips by the bed, made a relaxed gesture. "The doctor said it's psychological trauma, so take it slow. It's better to be effective than ineffective."
Cheng Zhi sat down next to her and took a potato chip to eat. "You're on the daytime shift, so you don't know. I'm on the night shift, and almost every day after my little sister falls asleep, I can see Auntie and Siyu silently shedding tears."
It would be unbearable for anyone to see a perfectly healthy child suddenly turn out like this. Huang Yiyi couldn't help but sigh when she heard about the situation.
Xiao Feiran walked over and patted the heads of the two sighing guys. "Stop sighing. Cheng Zhi, you should go to work. Cheer up. And take this bowl of sago pudding to your little sister while you're at it."
Cheng Zhi patted her face, took the bowl, and set off.
Zheng Wan led her to her younger sister and Siyu's room. Her younger sister was playing with toys, and Chen Siyu was keeping her company.
Cheng Zhi tiptoed over and placed the bowl next to the toys. Zhi Yu saw her and obediently called out, "Sister."
"Wow, where did all these toys come from?" Cheng Zhi said, picking up a toy car.
Zheng Wan, leaning against the door frame, raised her hand. "Mine, but not all of them. Anyway, they belong to the five of us sisters. My parents didn't throw them away."
After chatting for a while, the group fed Zhiyu a few mouthfuls of sago pudding, and after she washed up, they coaxed her to sleep.
Once Zhiyu fell asleep, Zheng Wan said softly, "You've all worked hard these past few days. Now that we've moved back, the three of you don't need to come every day anymore. Go back and get some rest."
Chen Siyu, who was standing next to her, nodded and said, "My little sister can eat normally now, so you don't need to worry too much."
Cheng Zhi waved her hand, "It's nothing, we didn't do anything, we're not tired at all."
The three of them talked for a while longer before the two of them stuffed Cheng Zhi into the space. Just as Cheng Zhi was about to open the cabinet door to return to Yangzhou, Zheng Wan suddenly remembered something.
She quickly stopped Cheng Zhi, "By the way, Qi Yanche came this morning. He said that the child can be discharged tomorrow. He's been busy with reconstruction these past few days. If you have time, go and explain the child's situation to the hospital."
"Only you can handle this, since you're the only one who filled out the information. And you have to make things clear to them: send them to an orphanage if necessary, or look for adoptive parents if necessary, understand?" Zheng Wan couldn't rest easy, so she gave her a few more instructions.
Cheng Zhi patted her on the shoulder, "Of course, I'm not a bodhisattva."
Back home, no one was in the room, so Xiao Feiran and the other two were playing cards in the living room.
Cheng Zhi went over and saw that Cheng Ye's face was covered in white smears. When he saw Cheng Zhi, it was like seeing a savior. "Sister! Help! They've teamed up against me. I can't play this game anymore!"
Cheng Zhi, in a very domineering manner, put her arm around Cheng Ye's head and patted it twice, then took the cards from him and said, "Watch your sister turn the tide!"
Half an hour later, Cheng Zhi's face was also covered with white streaks.
Cheng Ye gave his sister a look of utter disdain. "Turning the tide? I feel like you got swept away by the waves too."
Cheng Zhi: "..."
Cheng Zhi coughed awkwardly twice, still trying to defend herself, "This...this location has bad feng shui, it's definitely not my fault!"
Xiao Feiran laughed, "Come on, let's switch seats and see if it's bad feng shui or bad card skills."
As it turns out, this had nothing to do with feng shui; Cheng Zhi was still the one who lost the most.
After playing two more rounds, Huang Yiyi couldn't bear to see the two bickering siblings anymore, so she quickly put the cards away and said, "Let's stop playing cards and play something else."
Upon hearing that they were done playing, Cheng Zhi immediately removed the white stripe from her face and readily agreed, "Let's stop playing and watch a movie!"
Cheng Ye: "..." I have a bad feeling.
While they were discussing, Cheng Ye lay down on the ground, trying to sneakily crawl back to her room.
But soon, Cheng Zhi grabbed his leg, "We agreed to play together, why are you sneaking away?"
Cheng Ye turned her head and looked at them resentfully, "Sisters, I said we'd hang out together, but I didn't say I wanted to watch horror movies with you. I'm busy with my studies, so goodbye."
He tried to run away, but Cheng Zhi wouldn't let go. She even pulled on his pants, trying to drag him back.
With his pants already in someone else's hands, Cheng Ye was afraid they would be pulled off, so he could only let Cheng Zhi drag him back.
