Xie Wanying kept saying she cared about Xie Zhiyan, but her actions were not even as caring as those of outsiders.
Seeing that Shu Ying, who had been talking eloquently, suddenly fell silent, Xie Zhiyan looked a little nervous.
He asked cautiously, "If you have any thoughts, you can tell me. As long as I'm here, no one in the army will bully you."
He's done so much, and he's already reached this position, all he wants is to provide more protection for Shuying and the children.
If he can't even protect his own loved ones, then he's a complete failure.
Shu Ying met Xie Zhiyan's gaze, hesitating to speak.
Xie Wanying is, after all, his biological sister. Isn't it a bit impolite to speak ill of her in front of Xie Zhiyan?
Seeing that she seemed to be holding back a lot of pain, Xie Zhiyan gently beckoned to her, and Shu Ying walked over, completely bewildered.
"Don't worry, we are husband and wife, and we will always be one. If anyone bullies you, it's because they are bullying me. Whoever makes you unhappy is making me unhappy."
No matter who that person is or what their relationship is with him, they cannot bypass Shu Ying through him.
Shu Ying's eyebrows curved into a smile. Although she hadn't spent much time with Xie Zhiyan, she understood that he wasn't the kind of person who was biased.
Even if Xie Wanying is his family, it doesn't matter.
Furthermore, the bond between the siblings doesn't seem to be as deep as that between ordinary siblings.
On the contrary, Xie Wanying was constantly trying to find a way to make her presence felt.
"Actually, there's something I've been wondering about for a long time, and I still have that suspicion. I just think it might be a bit presumptuous of you."
Shu Ying rested her chin on one hand, thinking about the many differences between Xie Wanying and Xie Zhiyan.
She was actually quite clumsy; aside from being born into a good family, she was worlds apart from Xie Zhiyan.
People who don't know the situation would never guess that she and Xie Zhiyan are biological siblings.
Xie Zhiyan gently stroked the back of her hand. Shu Ying's delicate skin was smooth and tender. He smiled and met her gaze.
"It's okay, just tell me. Anyway, it's just the two of us here. If your guess is right, I can back you up."
His voice was very pleasant, carrying the languid feeling of someone just waking up, without his usual aloofness. The distance between the two seemed to unconsciously shrink considerably.
The moon was high in the sky, and the shadows of the trees were cast through the moonlight onto the floor of the ward. The emotions flowing in the eyes of the two people were intense.
Shu Ying gently beckoned to Xie Zhiyan with her finger, and he turned his head in that direction.
The two were very close. The girl with bright eyes and white teeth bent down slightly and whispered her plan into Xie Zhiyan's ear.
As Shu Ying drew closer, that subtle fragrance wafted over again, but Xie Zhiyan simply stared intently at her jet-black hair.
Especially since the stray hairs on the side of his face fell onto Xie Zhiyan's neck, Shu Ying moved slightly, and the sparse hairs brushed against his neck, tickling him.
Xie Zhiyan subconsciously reached out a hand, wanting to gently touch Shu Ying's long hair.
But before he could make a move, the person who had been obediently lying beside him had already left.
What came into view was Shu Ying's pair of bright, grape-like eyes looking at him expectantly.
"What do you think of my plan? I've been thinking about it all afternoon. I originally had some time to carry it out, but you just happened to wake up, which means I have another helper. If my guess is right, I'll become a great hero to your family!"
Xie Zhiyan: ...
He had been distracted, only noticing Shu Ying's hair and the distance between them, so much so that he hadn't even had time to listen to what the little girl had said.
Xie Zhiyan's smile was somewhat awkward, and Shu Ying stared at him expectantly for a long time without receiving a response.
Her pretty little face instantly fell: "Do you think what I'm saying sounds like a fantasy? I know you find it hard to believe, but if you think I'm just joking, then forget it."
Shu Ying pouted, and Xie Zhiyan gripped her hand tightly: "No, I believe you. What did you just say?"
Shu Ying: ...?
You're such a grown-up, can't you even listen to people properly anymore?
She had been talking excitedly for so long, but he hadn't listened to a word she said?
However, considering Xie Zhiyan's good attitude, Shu Ying, though somewhat unwilling, did not pursue the matter further.
"You and Xie Wanying have lived under the same roof for so many years, haven't you ever felt something was wrong? The two of you have completely different personalities. Although there are many such cases in the world, it's unfortunate that someone looks like you."
Shu Ying became more and more agitated as she spoke, especially since Xie Wanying seemed to feel guilty no matter how she looked at her today.
“She cried so bitterly by your bedside today, anyone who didn’t know better would have thought you were dead. I made it clear to her that I could take care of you, even better than anyone else, but she still seemed very wary. Think about it, we already have a child together. Anyone with a brain can understand that I wouldn’t hurt you at this time. But Xie Wanying is using this flimsy excuse to keep trying to force me to leave.”
If Ye Zhanying hadn't arrived in time, Xie Wanying would have continued her antics indefinitely.
“Generally speaking, who doesn’t want their family members to have a happy and fulfilling marriage? But while she keeps saying it’s for your own good, she also seems afraid that you’ll wake up. After all, you two are related by blood. You might think what I’m saying is absurd, but my guesses are never wrong. Your sister really doesn’t want you to wake up! She’d rather you stay in a coma forever!”
Xie Zhiyan was worried that if he kept staring at Shu Ying, he would lose focus, so he simply turned his head to look elsewhere.
He understood what Shu Ying was trying to say, but his face remained calm.
"So when I need your cooperation, you'll definitely help me, right?"
Shu Ying's smile had a hint of ingratiation.
If she can't find a chance to verify this, she'll be so upset that she won't be able to sleep all night.
Xie Zhiyan nodded: "Yes, it's not me helping you, it's you helping me."
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Shu Ying immediately beamed with joy. She stayed right in front of Xie Zhiyan's ward, her beautiful eyes sparkling like a fawn's.
"Then I'm relieved. I originally thought you couldn't accept this result. Xie Wanying was forcibly dragged out when she left today. If I'm not mistaken, she will definitely come back again."
