Chapter 462 Bai Qiujing might be Bai Qiu
At dinner time in the evening, Bai Wanwan took over all of Bai Qiujing's work and inexplicably cast a provocative look at Bai Qiujing.
During the meal, Shen Zhichu felt that the brother and sister were secretly competing with each other. Seeing that Bai Qiujing was about to sit next to her, Bai Wanwan immediately took the seat first, and Bai Qiujing had to sit to Shen Zhichu's left.
Every time Bai Qiujing wanted to pick up some food for Shen Zhichu, Bai Wanwan would simply ask the servants to bring the dish to Shen Zhichu.
During the break in the meal, Shen Zhichu looked up at Bai Qiujing with amusement, only to see him staring at Bai Wanwan with anger in his eyes. If they were not eating now, he might have grabbed her collar.
Bai Wanwan had a cold expression on her face and was devoted to Shen Zhichu, completely ignoring her adopted brother.
After dinner, Bai's mother asked Shen Zhichu to stay overnight, as it was getting late outside.
Shen Zhichu thought about it and agreed.
"So you and Qiu Jing sleep in the same room?"
This question stunned Shen Zhichu.
Bai's mother immediately understood that although the two were living together, they had not yet reached the stage of sleeping together. Bai Qiujing was a greenhorn in some aspects. Although he usually chased people like an enthusiastic puppy, he would hide in the corner when the critical moment came.
Noticing Bai's mother's strange gaze, Bai Qiujing felt a little uncomfortable, his eyes darted around, and his ears turned red.
"What are you looking at me for? You have to get married before you can sleep together."
Marriage is a very sacred thing for Bai Qiujing. He has to be sensible in doing things. Some things can only be done after marriage. He wants to be responsible for Shen Zhichu and give her enough sense of security. It's not that he doesn't want to stay with Shen Zhichu day and night, but he is afraid that he can't control himself.
When he thought of this, Bai Qiujing's eyes became even more vacant.
Bai's mother wanted to laugh, but she tried hard to hold it back. She didn't expect her son to be so rigid and so useless.
"There are many rooms. I can just ask the servants to clean up one room."
Shen Zhichu was about to nod when Bai Wanwan appeared from nowhere and said, "Don't clean up, let Sister Zhichu sleep with me." As she said this, she stared at Shen Zhichu expectantly, waiting for her next answer.
Chen Zhichu thought to himself: Today's gift must have touched Bai Wanwan's heart, which is why her attitude towards her changed so much.
"Is it okay?" It is said that women who act coquettishly have the best life. Bai Wanwan hooked her hands around Shen Zhichu's arm and shook it left and right, using all her strength. She could hardly bear it anymore, and goosebumps appeared as she spoke.
After shaking twice, Bai Qiujing took a step forward and pushed Bai Wanwan away, protecting Shen Zhichu behind him: "Go play somewhere else, Chuchu doesn't like sleeping with others."
Bai Wanwan retorted: "Chu Jie didn't say anything, how do you know she doesn't like sleeping with me? We girls can have a lot to talk about at night." Bai Wanwan looked at Shen Zhichu who was blocked behind Bai Qiujing and shouted, "Chu Jie, sleep with me tonight, I'll tell you about my childhood."
Her brother was tall and strong, and standing there was like a wall. Bai Wanwan couldn't even wink at Shen Zhichu.
She knew clearly that the chance to sleep with her idol was right in front of her. If she missed this time, she wouldn't know when the next time would be. Moreover, given her brother's jealous and possessive nature, he would never give her another chance.
Shen Zhichu was not very interested in Bai Wanwan's childhood, she was interested in Bai Qiujing.
Bai Qiujing didn't have a very good memory and rarely talked to her about the past.
Moreover, she was very concerned about what Bai's father said while playing chess today. There was something hidden in his words, and the more she wanted to ignore it, the more she couldn't. She couldn't find a chance to ask Bai's father again. Now that Bai Wanwan came on her own initiative, maybe she could get something from her.
Shen Zhichu made up his mind, raised his right hand and gently pushed away Bai Qiujing in front of him, "Okay, I will sleep with Wanwan tonight, Aunt Li, you don't have to ask anyone to clean up the room."
Bai Qiujing was immediately struck by lightning. He looked at Shen Zhichu in shock, his expression slowly collapsing like an abandoned stray dog.
Bai's mother also confirmed with her: "Are you really sleeping with Wanwan tonight?"
Shen Zhichu said “hmm” and nodded in confirmation.
Bai Wanwan jumped up with joy and took Shen Zhichu's hand back: "Then I'll take Sister Chu back to my room."
Bai's mother did not forget to remind him: "Take good care of Zhichu Wanwan."
"I see."
After the two of them left, Bai's mother looked at Bai Qiujing, who was still standing there in a state of "out-of-body experience", and reached out to pat his shoulder to symbolically comfort him: "Look at how proactive your sister is, learn from her."
"Mom." Bai Qiujing called out to Bai's mother as she was about to leave, and asked fearfully, "Will something happen between two women?"
"Nothing will happen. At most, we'll sleep together in each other's arms, and maybe even take a bath together." Before leaving, Bai's mother did not forget to trick her son.
Bai Qiujing: “…” He didn’t dare to continue asking whether this was normal or not.
Chen Zhichu always goes to bed early. She followed Bai Wanwan into the house and took a look around the bedroom. It was very spacious. She thought Bai Wanwan's bedroom would be like a princess's room, but when she walked in, she found it was very simple and the room was very clean.
Bai Wanwan suddenly became nervous after she hooked her arm around Shen Zhichu's and returned to the room. She had never expected that she could lure her idol into the house so easily.
"Sister Chu, wash up first. I'll wait for you. This is the bathroom. Shower gel and shampoo are all there. Oh, you didn't bring pajamas. How about you wear mine?"
Shen Zhichu has not yet adapted to Bai Wanwan's sudden enthusiasm.
"Can."
Bai Wanwan found a nightgown with white lace. Her purpose was self-evident. Shen Zhichu didn't realize her purpose. He just thought... this nightgown was a little leaky, but it didn't matter if she just used it as a nightgown and didn't wear it out.
Chen Zhichu got her hair wet while taking a shower, so she simply washed her hair as well. When she came out of the shower, Bai Wanwan prepared a towel for her to wipe her hair, and also plugged the hair dryer into the bedside.
"Sister Chu, let me blow dry your hair."
"No, I can do it myself. You go in and wash first."
How could Bai Wanwan miss the opportunity to blow dry her idol's hair at close range? "I like to wash it before going to bed. I don't want to go to bed yet. Sister Chu, please sit down. I have plugged in the hair." She pressed the switch directly, and the hot air blew in her face, blowing Shen Zhichu's wet long hair.
Shen Zhichu was forced to sit down and receive the service of blow-drying his hair.
Bai Wanwan's technique was gentle. She inserted her fingers into Shen Zhichu's long hair and tested the temperature: "Remind me if you feel it's too hot."
"Yeah." Now Shen Zhichu was silent, while Bai Wanwan behind him seemed to have opened up her chatterbox.
Shaking the hair dryer in her hand, she praised Shen Zhichu: “Sister Chu, your hair is so beautiful.”
He praises everything he sees. One second he's praising someone's hair, the next second he's praising their skin and figure.
Shen Zhichu has no close friends in her life, and she has very few friends, let alone female friends. One of the female friends of her age who she has a good relationship with is Doctor Su Miao, who once treated her.
But their relationship has never been so close. Chen Zhichu encountered a problem and kept wondering how to deal with Bai Wanwan like this. She suddenly started to wonder if the cold-faced Bai Wanwan was an illusion.
"Wanwan, didn't you say you wanted to tell me about your childhood?"
"Wait..." Bai Wanwan dried her hair and picked up the tablet from beside the pillow. When she opened it, the screensaver was a photo of Shen Zhichu.
When Bai Wanwan saw it, she was so scared that she wanted to hide, but it was too late. Shen Zhichu saw it.
She opened the tablet in front of Shen Zhichu, so it was hard for her not to notice.
Bai Wanwan smiled awkwardly, swiped her finger across, clicked into the photo album and forcibly changed the subject.
"Sister Chu will show you some of my old photos. This is my one-month-old photo, when I first learned to walk, a family photo, and me drawing lots..."
Shen Zhichu's attention was diverted as he browsed through the pictures one by one and found something wrong.
These are photos of Bai Wanwan from childhood to adulthood, which are equivalent to a growth record. However, in these photos, Bai Wanwan took photos with many people and there were family photos, but Bai Qiujing was nowhere to be seen.
Shen Zhichu flipped through the pages until his hands were tired, and it was only when he turned to the recent years that he saw Bai Qiujing's photos.
Shen Zhichu pretended to be casual and asked, "Didn't you like taking pictures with your brother when you were a child?"
“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I don’t have the opportunity to shoot it.”
"Your brother doesn't want to?"
Bai Wanwan paused, lowered her eyes as if she was in deep thought. After a while, Bai Wanwan said "hmm" as an acknowledgement.
Shen Zhichu frowned. She had never asked much about Bai Qiujing's past. She only knew that he had received heart treatment abroad in his early years. Could it be that this was why there were no photos of him as a child?
But from Bai Wanwan's tone, it seemed like Bai Qiujing didn't like having his photo taken. But if he didn't like having his photo taken and didn't want to face the camera, how could he have entered the entertainment industry?
At the beginning, Shen Zhichu suspected that Bai Qiujing was Bai Qiu, but Bai Qiujing always swore to her that he had been treated for heart disease abroad and had not suffered any gunshot wounds. In addition, when Bai Qiu fell in front of her, he was indeed shot in the left chest, shoulder, and leg.
But she looked at Bai Qiujing's body and found no signs of injury.
"Did your brother have a heart disease before? He even had surgery."
"Chujie, how did you know? Did my brother tell you?"
"Well, he mentioned it to me, but I'm just a little curious. How come he doesn't have a scar on his chest after having heart surgery?"
"Medical science is so advanced now that cancer can be cured, so removing a few scars is nothing. He was determined to enter the entertainment industry and removed the scars for the sake of his image."
"You mean he's had a scar removed?"
Bai Wanwan didn't understand why Shen Zhichu was so surprised, but she nodded anyway.
Shen Zhichu felt a little weak. She only now realized that the world had changed three years after her death.
Just like Bai Wanwan said, some cancers can be cured, so what’s the big deal about removing a few scars?
Could it be that Bai Qiujing was the same Bai Qiu from back then? He had been shot in the chest but not killed. Lu Tingchuan and Li Jingshen had lied to her from the beginning.
Shen Zhichu covered her mouth with trembling hands, her mind went blank. When people are emotionally excited, they feel like they are in a world of nothingness, as if their soul has left their body. She fell into deep thought, going over the entire possible process over and over again from the beginning.
For example, Bai Qiujing did stay in a foreign hospital because he was shot and suffered nerve damage that left him in a coma. After waking up, he underwent scar removal surgery.
Five years ago, she herself was hypnotized by Li Jingshen and she didn't remember anything. So is it possible that Bai Qiujing was also hypnotized?
The more important problem lies with Li Jingshen and Lu Tingchuan.
Li Jingshen had alienated Bai Qiujing and her, and told Bai Qiujing that she only regarded him as a substitute for Bai Qiu.
Why did Li Jingshen know that the person she had always liked was Bai Qiu, and why did he tell Bai Qiujing about it so confidently?
Bai Wanwan saw Shen Zhichu was distraught and had called her several times without any response. She couldn't help but panic and shook her arm: "Sister Chu, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Zhichu raised his head stiffly, moving his lips to confirm word by word: "Wanwan, is Qiu Jing really your brother?"
"He's my brother. Even though I don't want to admit it, when we go out with our relatives, they all say we look alike. And you see, he looks a lot like my dad too."
"So you two grew up together?"
“This…” Bai Wanwan’s eyes began to dodge.
Shen Zhichu's heart choked, and he asked again: "Do you know a man named Bai Qiu in Fukang Orphanage? Your brother was not treated for a heart disease abroad, but was shot in the chest, right?"
Bai Wanwan opened her lips in astonishment and looked at Shen Zhichu in disbelief: "Sister Chu, you..."
