Song Yalan followed Song Jingchuan and Cheng Xiaokui out of the ward.
She escorted Cheng Xiao Kui all the way to the stairwell.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Sister Song, please continue to take care of Si Muyang here."
Song Yalan said, "It's no trouble at all, just don't misunderstand me... Don't worry, I know my place. Comrade Si likes you, it has nothing to do with me."
Cheng Xiaokui said softly, "Sister Song, how could I not believe you? I know you are beautiful and kind-hearted. If you wanted to compete with me for Si Muyang, you wouldn't have waited until now."
Song Yalan said, "Thank you for your trust in me. If you have something important to do, go take care of it. Si Muyang can stay at your house once he is discharged from the hospital."
Cheng Xiao Kui waved to Song Ya Lan, and then she and Song Jing Chuan walked down the stairs together.
When Song Yalan returned to the ward, she saw a broken teacup on the floor.
The porcelain teacup was smashed to pieces by Si Muyang.
Song Yalan bent down to pick up the broken porcelain from the ground. She said, "Comrade Si, what are you doing? If you're unhappy about something, you can tell me directly."
Si Muyang said, "Come here."
Song Yalan threw the porcelain shards she had picked up into the trash can, then walked up to Si Muyang and said, "I'm here..."
Before she could finish speaking, Si Muyang suddenly pulled her close to him.
Si Muyang's movements were so fast that Song Yalan was completely unprepared.
She was almost pulled onto Si Muyang by him.
She quickly braced herself against the headboard, creating distance between herself and Si Muyang.
Her heart was pounding wildly; the expression on Si Muyang's face was more ferocious than she had ever seen before.
Si Muyang's cold voice lashed at her face, "Don't think I don't know what tricks your brother is up to."
He just wanted to pursue Cheng Xiao Kui while I was away! What a brilliant move of his—keeping you by my side to keep me trapped, and then he went after Cheng Xiao Kui!
You know perfectly well what your brother is up to! You and your sister are in cahoots! Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?
Song Yalan shook her head in surprise, "No. Although my brother also likes Cheng Xiao Kui, he keeps his feelings within the bounds of propriety. He has no bad intentions. He never thought of plotting against you!"
You were hospitalized because your injuries were too severe. I came to take care of you because Cheng Xiao Kui had family matters to attend to and couldn't come to take care of you!
If you... if you think this is my brother plotting against you, I can leave..."
She braced herself with her arms, trying to steady herself and stand up straight.
But Si Muyang kept holding her arm and wouldn't let go, so she couldn't stand up straight at all.
Si Muyang sneered and said, "You want to leave? Your brother is always buzzing around Cheng Xiaokui like a fly. You think you can slip away from me? Dream on!"
Song Yalan was somewhat at a loss for words after hearing what Si Muyang said.
In her mind, Si Muyang would never say such a thing to her.
She stammered, "Then... then what do you want?"
Si Muyang said, "You stay by my side. You're not allowed to go anywhere without my orders! I want to see what other tricks your brother can pull! Heh!"
Looking at Si Muyang, Song Yalan's mind was filled with what her brother had told her. Could it be that the side effects of the medicine had damaged Si Muyang's brain, causing him to say such irrational things?
Now, she can only slowly explain to Si Muyang and ease his misunderstanding of Song Jingchuan.
Cheng Xiaokui and Song Jingchuan walked out of the military headquarters and got into a car.
Cheng Chunqiu waited patiently in the car for Cheng Xiaokui.
She asked, "How is Comrade Si doing?"
Cheng Xiaokui frowned slightly and said, "He...he's recovering very well and is already practicing walking. Brother Song said he should be able to be discharged in about a week."
Cheng Chun-kui said, "That's great! You don't have to worry about him anymore. Where is he staying after being discharged from the hospital?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Let him stay at my house, I'll take care of him."
She seemed a little absent-minded as she spoke; all she could think about was Si Muyang.
I don't know why, but I talked to Si Muyang a little more today.
She felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Perhaps it's the tone of voice, or perhaps the way it's spoken...
Something just doesn't feel right...
Could it be a side effect of the medication that damaged Si Muyang's brain?
This made Si Muyang forget his brotherhood with Song Jingchuan. It also made him forget just how deep their bond was.
Her fingers pressed lightly against her temples; the sensation was strange…
Cheng Chun Kui looked at Cheng Xiao Kui, who had stopped talking, and she didn't say anything more either.
In her opinion, Cheng Xiao Kui was probably just tired.
Song Jingchuan took Cheng Xiaokui and Cheng Chunkui back home, and he continued to live in Cheng Xiaokui's house.
He had one room, his subordinates had one room, and Cheng Xiao Kui and Cheng Chun Kui slept in the same room.
The next day, Cheng Qiu Kui brought Cheng Dong Kui to Cheng Xiao Kui's house.
Cheng Xiao Kui shared her thoughts with Cheng Qiu Kui.
My younger brother is not young anymore; he should have his own business, earn his own money, and develop his own career.
Cheng Qiuqiu thought her second sister was right. She volunteered to take her younger brother home and help him manage the business. She would leave once her brother was able to manage the family business on his own.
Cheng Dongkui learned very quickly, and he didn't want his sisters to worry about him.
Moreover, he doesn't need to do anything. As long as he memorizes all the ingredients, he can mix them himself, and the rest of the work can be left to the aunties and grandmas.
Within a few days, he was able to handle his family business with ease.
The older women took good care of Cheng Dongkui and tried their best not to cause him any trouble.
Cheng Qiuqiu is very satisfied with her younger brother's growth; he is finally able to support himself.
She told Cheng Xiao Kui the good news so that Cheng Xiao Kui wouldn't worry about her younger brother.
These past few days, Cheng Xiaokui has been very anxious, his mind is in a mess, sometimes thinking about Cheng Chunkui, sometimes about Si Muyang.
She felt something was off, and the way things were going seemed to be getting out of her control.
Song Jingchuan returned to Cheng Xiaokui's house after get off work, and it felt pretty good.
Sometimes he thought, if it were really possible to go back to Cheng Xiao Kui's family for the rest of his life, how happy that would be.
Cheng Xiao Kui's family business has been closed, and she is afraid that someone might suddenly attack Cheng Chun Kui and hurt innocent people.
But she seemed to be overthinking things; the peaceful days were unbelievably peaceful!
Cheng Xiao Kui was sitting in the room, with the meal prepared for her by her aunts and grandmothers on the table.
She saw Song Jingchuan return through the glass window and waved to him.
Song Jingchuan waved to Cheng Xiaokui, and countless snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
Song Jingchuan felt that the scene was too beautiful. Cheng Xiaokui and the soft light in the room were a warm feeling in his heart. He wanted to have this warm feeling for a lifetime.
He strode over and opened the door.
The howling wind outside carried snowflakes as Song Jingchuan and Song Jingchuan entered the room.
