Seeing Cheng Huaijin's helpless expression, Gu Yingxue felt both worried and amused.
She wiped away her tears, then pressed down on Cheng Huaijin, who was trying to wipe them away for her: "Brother Jin, don't move. It's hot now, and you'll sweat if you move. I can't apply the medicine for you, and the medicine boy isn't here either."
Cheng Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Yingxue's eyes were only red and she wasn't crying anymore: "Okay, I won't move, just don't cry."
Gu Yingxue nodded: "Yes, I won't cry anymore."
Cheng Huaijin lay back on the cushions, looked at Gu Yingxue, and laughed, "I rarely coax girls, and I don't know how to soothe a girl who cries at the drop of a hat. When Xiaoyu was little, if I made a few funny faces next to her, she would laugh. I really don't know how to coax other girls."
This was the first time Cheng Huaijin had mentioned Cheng Huaiyu to Gu Yingxue.
He rarely mentioned Cheng Huaiyu to anyone, not even Gu Xin, and his expression didn't look good when Cheng Huaiyu was mentioned.
But now, he can say it calmly.
Sometimes, once you've come to terms with something, it's not so difficult to talk about it anymore.
Gu Yingxue looked at Cheng Huaijin in surprise. She thought that Xiaoyu would be an insurmountable obstacle for the two of them.
Cheng Huaijin knew why Gu Yingxue was surprised and what she was thinking, but he didn't say it.
He simply told Gu Yingxue the stories of his childhood with Xiaoyu.
“From as far back as I can remember, I knew that my sister was different from other people’s sisters. She couldn’t speak and her reactions were slower. My parents told me that all I had to do in my life was protect my sister, and that my older brother would take care of everything else.”
“Back then, I was studying with Xiaoyu. Because she was slow to react, my husband wouldn’t speak too fast. Our whole family believed that Xiaoyu would be able to speak someday, so we would often talk to her. Actually, apart from not being able to speak, she could understand.”
"Besides studying, I also practice martial arts. Actually, the teacher who taught us martial arts was hired by my parents to teach Xiaoyu. She was a female teacher. But Xiaoyu never seemed to be interested in it. On the contrary, I was more interested, so in the end, I got the benefit."
"And so, we grew up until we were twelve years old. That year, we met Xin Xin and her family. Xiao Yu, who was always slow to react and didn't like to interact with her loved ones, looked at Xin Xin with a very strange gaze, as if Xin Xin was also her family and they had known each other for a long time."
"At that time, my mother and my second aunt got along very well. Our two families had a good relationship. However, my parents and older brother made a mistake later. It was then that I realized that it was wrong to always be taught that I only needed to take care of my younger sister. I should have learned more. If I had learned more, I would have had more influence at home, and that kind of thing wouldn't have happened."
"I am very grateful to my second uncle and brother A-Yuan for rescuing Xiao-Yu and me, giving us a way to live, allowing Xiao-Yu to live a few more years, and allowing me to survive. As for my parents and brothers..."
At this point, Cheng Huaijin paused.
The Cheng family was implicated by Cheng Huaijin's maternal grandfather's side. Of course, they could have lived a few more years, but Gu Shouxin and Lu Zheng joined forces to bring about the premature death of Cheng Huaijin's maternal grandfather's side.
