"Ah, gifts!" He sighed and pulled out a handful of postcards. "I prepared many gifts to give to my grandparents, maternal grandparents, and parents on this day, but they are all gone, and my older brother is gone too."
The little pink dumpling stretched out its long and short arms, babbling "ee-ee-ya-ya".
"Little sister, I heard you. You said happy birthday to your second brother. Thank you, little sister."
Xiao Jiangji picked out the prettiest postcard. "Little sister, this is for you. It's the first gift your second brother has ever given you. Please keep it safe."
Before he knew it, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he fell asleep on the table.
I slept very soundly but restlessly, as if I had a very long nightmare.
He tried to open his eyes but couldn't, as if a ghost was pressing down on him, and he couldn't move his limbs.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Jiangji suddenly woke up with a start, "Sister!!"
He looked around and went back to his room. Where were his younger siblings?
Xiao Jiangji ran out the door; her younger brother was sleeping in his cradle, but her younger sister was nowhere to be found.
Where did my sister go?
Just as he was about to go out to look for someone, his older brother blocked the doorway. "Jiang Ji, you've been sleeping for three days and three nights. The doctor advised you to reduce your physical activity and rest in bed for a week."
"Three days? How can it take so long?" Xiao Jiangji exclaimed. "Big brother, where's my sister?"
The elder brother was silent for a moment, then said, "My sister had a high fever and unfortunately passed away."
"How could this be?!" Xiao Jiangji shouted, "Big brother, you're lying to me!!"
"I need to find my sister! Let me go! I need to find my sister..."
The older brother held him tightly, shouting, "She's dead!"
"Your sister isn't dead, you're the one who's dead!" When Xiao Jiangji got angry, she dared to curse anyone, her IQ soaring rapidly.
"Big brother, you're lying. My sister isn't dead, is she?"
"The high fever was fake, but my sister really did die."
Xiao Jiangji covered her ears, "You're talking nonsense!!"
The eldest brother ordered his men to lock him up, his tone icy cold, “Jiang Ji, remember this: from now on, there will be no younger sister, only a younger brother.”
Xiao Jiangji sat on the ground, crying and cursing, "Big brother, you're a big liar! Waaaaah... My sister is gone... I'll never have a sister again..."
None of the wishes I made when I was five years old came true; in fact, things only got worse.
Jiang Ji was imprisoned for a month. After his release, he searched everywhere for his sister, but she had vanished.
All of my sister's belongings were cleaned up, and the servants in the house seemed to have lost their memory.
"Second Young Master, you're mistaken. Madam gave birth to a boy, not a girl."
"No, Mom gave birth to twins!"
Jiang Ji asked his parents, "Where's my little sister?"
"She's dead! No one is allowed to mention her! One more mention and she'll be locked in solitary confinement!"
Jiang Ji was incredulous and tried hard to recall what his sister looked like, but his memory became blurry.
Why that day?
Why is she the younger sister?
No, my sister isn't dead! She's absolutely not dead!
His parents and older brother told him that his younger sister was dead, but he didn't believe it, and he never would.
His sister must still be alive; he must find her!
