Sijiu ordered several dishes for Xiao Xinghe, and then ordered two large bowls of sweet soup for him.
Xiao Xinghe's eyes widened, "Sister, I can't eat it..."
"It's okay, I have money, it's okay to eat one bowl and then throw it away."
Xiao Xinghe: “…”
It is impossible to fall.
Xiao Xinghe thought that the food could be packed up, but the sweet soup was not easy to carry, so he put in a lot of effort and drank the sweet soup even if he was full.
"Is it delicious?"
"Mmm, sweet, really delicious."
Si Jiu looked at his soft and sweet smiling face and smiled too, "Don't drink it. It will become choking if it's too sweet. It's no big deal." She took the bowl that Xiao Xinghe was holding in her hand.
Xiao Xinghe sighed, "There's still a little left."
"Don't drink anymore, you'll feel uncomfortable later."
"Sister didn't drink a single sip." Xiao Xinghe suddenly said, "Is it because she wants to leave all the good things for me?"
"What are you thinking? Of course not. It's because my sister doesn't like sweet soup."
"How could that be? My sister once said that if you eat something sweet, you won't feel the bitterness anymore, and you won't be afraid of any hardship in life."
Si Jiu paused and cursed inwardly.
"Remember, I don't like sweet things at all. Especially sweet soup. I'd rather die than eat a single bite."
Her expression suddenly became serious, even a little stern.
Xiao Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Then I don't like sweet food either, and I don't want to drink sweet soup either."
Seeing how anxious he was to show his loyalty, Si Jiu chuckled.
"Okay," she said.
After eating and drinking, the two went home covered in starlight.
[Daddy, the plot point is coming, you, be prepared.]
Si Jiu paused.
"What's wrong, sister?"
Sijiu squatted down in front of Xiao Xinghe, "Xing'er, sister will carry you home."
"Sister, I..." Walk away by yourself.
He saw the look in his elder sister's eyes as she turned her head and looked at him. How could he describe that look? It made him feel extremely sad and panicked, as if he would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't agree.
He was frightened by his own imagination and hurriedly fell on his sister's back and was carried by her.
Her back was thin and her arms were very thin, but she held herself very steadily with her hands.
She walked slowly but didn't say anything to herself.
Xiao Xinghe quietly rested his head on her shoulder, with his nose against her shoulder socket. He smelled his own familiar scent and fell asleep unknowingly.
…
Starting from the next day, Sijiu fell ill.
Xiao Xinghe looked at his sister's red face and rushed out to find a doctor without even putting on his shoes.
He ran back and forth in Qingcheng and finally found a doctor.
After examining her, the doctor said that her fever was caused by an occasional cold and prescribed some medicine.
Xiao Xinghe put on his shoes and ran back and forth to get medicine.
On weekdays, his sister went out to work, and he could heat up the meals and dishes at home. He asked the doctor many times how to decoct the medicine. Although he was unfamiliar with the task, it went smoothly.
"Sister, take the medicine. The doctor said you'll be fine after taking it."
Sijiu knew that he couldn't get better, and he especially hated taking Chinese medicine.
But this time she said nothing, and took Xiao Xinghe's hand and drank the whole bowl of medicine in one breath.
After taking the medicine for three days, Sijiu's condition did not improve, but became worse.
She started to vomit everything she drank and ate, and she also coughed. Sometimes once she started coughing, she couldn't stop and would cough until she retched.
Xiao Xinghe went from being at a loss at the beginning, to silently shedding tears, and then to becoming more and more calm.
He consulted many doctors and changed many prescriptions for Sijiu.
He spent all the money that Sijiu left him on medical treatment and medicine like water. In the past, he had to spend a long time to even buy a string of candied haws, but now he can spend money without blinking an eye.
Sijiu tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail.
That’s right, how could it be possible to persuade him?
If I can persuade him, he is no longer Xiao Xinghe.
