"I told you before, my name is Xing Zhaozhao," Xing Zhaozhao said.
Lin Wan shook her head desperately: "Impossible, you've been dead for a long time, completely dead."
“I had no choice. You’re always using my name to harass my family up here. I couldn’t live in peace down here, so I had to come up here to find you.” Xing Zhaozhao whispered in Lin Wan’s ear, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask my Mingcheng. My Mingcheng is such a discerning person. How could he accept me just because we look alike? Of course, it’s because he knows that I am who I am.”
Lin Wan thought about it carefully and realized it was true. She was so frightened that her legs trembled.
"Ghost...ghost..." she screamed, struggling with all her might, and finally broke free from Xing Zhaozhao's grip. She tried to run, but her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Everyone around her, except Gao Mingcheng, looked at her with surprise.
"What did you say to her that scared her like this?" Gao Hongfei asked Xing Zhaozhao, puzzled.
Xing Zhaozhao shrugged and said, "I just told her my name is Xing Zhaozhao. Actually, she didn't say anything else. I don't know why she was so scared."
She looked at the psychiatric hospital caregiver who was still waiting nearby and said, "She even called out 'ghost'; I think she's really not quite right in the head. Take her away quickly."
The caregivers looked at each other, and it seemed to be true, so they quickly took the person away.
Gao Mingcheng roughly guessed what Xing Zhaozhao had said to her, and shook his head with a helpless smile, saying, "Naughty."
Xing Zhaozhao put on an innocent look: "It has nothing to do with me, she's just too timid."
Gao Hongfei looked at Gao Mingcheng, then at Xing Zhaozhao, and felt that they were hiding something from him. But since they didn't say anything, he couldn't press them for details, so he had to suppress his curiosity for the time being.
When Xing Zhaoming heard that Gao Mingcheng had woken up, he came to the hospital to see him again. Besides Chen Wei, their eldest son, Xing Jiashu, also came with him.
Xing Jiashu and Gao Hongfei are the same age. They are not only cousins, but also very good friends.
When Xing Zhaoming arrived at the ward, Xing Zhaozhao was feeding Gao Mingcheng fruit.
"This apple is good, crisp and sweet, have a taste."
"And this banana..."
"This orange is very sweet..."
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng accepted whatever Xing Zhaozhao fed him without hesitation, looking quite pleased with himself, Xing Zhaoming's expression immediately turned very ugly.
When he first came here and saw Xing Zhaozhao, he thought she was just trying to freeload, so he threw her out. Little did he know he was just being presumptuous.
When Gao Mingcheng saw Xing Zhaoming arrive, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "You're here, Zhaoming, please have a seat."
Xing Zhaozhao glanced at Xing Zhaoming, still holding a grudge against him for throwing her out like trash, so she didn't give him a good look, snorted coldly, and started eating the fruit plate by herself.
Seeing this, Xing Zhaoming's expression darkened further, and he said coldly, "I think it's best to forget it. I've come at the wrong time, so I won't bother you any longer." With that, he turned to leave.
“No…” Gao Mingcheng tried to explain.
But before he could finish speaking, Xing Zhaozhao waved to Xing Zhaoming, indicating that he was seeing him off: "Goodbye, no need to see me off."
Gao Mingcheng turned to Xing Zhaozhao helplessly: "Zhaozhao..."
Hearing the familiar name come out of Gao Mingcheng's mouth, but he was calling out someone else's name, as if something that originally belonged to his sister had been stolen from him, Xing Zhaoming couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
He abruptly turned to look at Gao Mingcheng and said coldly, "I misjudged you, Gao Mingcheng. I always thought you were very rational, but I never expected that you would lose your integrity in your old age, being fooled by some random Tom, Dick, or Harry who just appeared out of nowhere. When you call her Zhaozhao, don't you feel guilty thinking about my sister? You have no conscience, Gao Mingcheng."
“No, Zhaoming…” Gao Mingcheng wanted to explain further.
Xing Zhaozhao didn't give him the chance at all. She suddenly stood up and glared at Xing Zhaoming: "Who are you calling a cat or dog? If I'm a cat or dog, then you're an old cat or dog."
Xing Zhaoming's eyes were wide open like saucers as he stared at Xing Zhaozhao, his nose snorting and him breathing heavily.
Xing Zhaozhao was not to be outdone. She stared at him with wide eyes, as if she wanted to settle the score with him.
For a moment, Xing Zhaoming felt as if he had returned to his childhood, recalling the scene of him and his stubborn younger sister fighting like antagonists, and his nose involuntarily tingled with emotion.
Zhao Zhao...
Xing Zhaoming turned to Gao Mingcheng and said, "Tell her to get lost, or we won't be brothers anymore."
Gao Mingcheng shook his head and looked apologetically at Xing Zhaoming: "I'm sorry, Zhaoming..."
Xing Zhaoming turned and left without hesitation, his face grim.
"No, Zhaoming, let me explain, Zhaozhao, she..." Gao Mingcheng wanted to say something, but before he could finish speaking, Xing Zhaozhao hugged his neck and covered his mouth.
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head at him. "Don't say it."
Gao Mingcheng had no choice but to give up.
Chen Wei and Xing Jiashu, who came along, were both dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
Although Chen Wei already knew that the relationship between Xing Zhaozhao and Gao Mingcheng was deeper than they thought, she never expected that Xing Zhaozhao would actually be able to force Xing Zhaoming to part ways with Gao Mingcheng.
"It seems I underestimated you before," she said, looking at Xing Zhaozhao.
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xing Jiashu glanced at his departing parents, then at Xing Zhaozhao and Gao Mingcheng in the ward, looking bewildered. He hurriedly left, saying, "I'll come see you again next time, Uncle," before also leaving in a hurry.
As soon as Xing Zhaoming's family left, Xing Zhaozhao pouted and could no longer hold back. She threw herself into Gao Mingcheng's arms and burst into tears.
Gao Mingcheng sighed helplessly, patted her back reassuringly, and said, "He's your brother, your own brother. What can't you tell him?"
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head vigorously: "We can't tell him."
Gao Mingcheng didn't understand: "Why?"
Xing Zhaozhao refused to say anything more.
Gao Mingcheng had a vague idea of what was going on: "Is it related to your sister-in-law?"
Xing Zhaozhao looked up at him with her red, swollen eyes: "How did you know?"
Gao Mingcheng patted her head and said, "Actually, a long time ago, my older brother complained to me that after Zhaozhao got married, she was no longer as close to him as before, and he asked me if I was meddling too much."
“He’s your older brother, Zhao Zhao. You shouldn’t keep him in the dark about this,” Gao Mingcheng advised.
Xing Zhaozhao hung her head, but still refused to give in.
She dared not, for fear of breaking up her brother's happy family.
