"Big brother... is it because of Second Sister..." Jiang Huai stammered.
Pei Muzhi's lips curled up into a meaningful smile. "Be bolder."
Jiang Huai: "..." He really didn't dare.
"...Does Big Brother like Second Sister?" Jiang Huai asked after taking a deep breath.
"Good eye." Pei Muzhi said with a pleased expression.
Jiang Huai: "..." Brother, you actually dare to admit it?!
“But aren’t we siblings…” Jiang Huai asked dryly.
"Are we siblings?" Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow and asked.
Jiang Huai: "..."
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough not to realize that his older brother was referring to blood relations when he said "close siblings".
“But what about Mom and Dad…” Jiang Huai didn’t know what to say, his mind was a mess, and he subconsciously thought of refuting Pei Muzhi.
My gut feeling was that this was wrong.
For the time being, he couldn't accept that his older brother and second sister had become a couple.
"When have they ever interfered in our affairs?" Pei Muzhi said calmly.
Jiang Huai: "..." That makes so much sense, I can't refute it at all.
Seeing Jiang Huai speechless, Pei Muzhi patted him on the shoulder.
"Stay away from your second sister from now on." It was half a reminder and half a warning.
Jiang Huai: "..."
“My second sister and I are siblings,” Jiang Huai retorted instinctively.
Pei Muzhi scoffed, "Are they siblings?"
Jiang Huai: "..." That hurts.
Bro, you're a real dog.
"Big brother, don't you think you're being too domineering and going too far?" Jiang Huai was furious, and driven by his emotions, he became much bolder.
"What? Trying to steal someone from your brother?" Pei Muzhi replied, sneering, seemingly unrelated to the question.
Under Pei Muzhi's icy gaze, Jiang Huai subconsciously took two steps back, widening the distance between himself and Pei Muzhi, looking as if he was afraid that Pei Muzhi might do something to him.
Seeing this, Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow in satisfaction.
"...I wouldn't dare."
Under Pei Muzhi's gaze, Jiang Huai stammered.
"good."
Pei Muzhi smiled, a rare smile he gave Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai not only didn't feel honored, but was even a little scared and trembling.
In the hospital ward.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Qin Wan made a phone call to Sheng Qing.
"Qin Wan?"
On the other end of the phone, Sheng Qing's voice sounded slightly weak, but her anger and resentment were clearly evident and undisguised.
"You woke up so quickly? Looks like the cuts weren't severe enough," Qin Wan said with a light laugh.
"You bitch!" Sheng Qing was so angry that she gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.
"...I heard you were stabbed in the back?" Sheng Qing forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan laughed, "Are you so afraid of me recording you?"
Sheng Qing's breath hitched, and she felt a throbbing pain in the wound on her wrist.
"Qin Wan, we don't get along, but I, Sheng Qing, am a law-abiding citizen. Your injury has nothing to do with me."
At this point, Sheng Qing paused, "It's because your parents are worried about you and keep up with your news. They knew as soon as you were injured and hospitalized."
"Your parents have been thinking of visiting you..." Sheng Qing said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's smile deepened.
"You want to make me feel disappointed?"
"sad?"
"Do you feel unloved by your parents?"
"See, I'm not afraid of you recording me."
Qin Wan's series of words angered Sheng Qing so much that he almost smashed his phone on the spot.
"You bitch!!!"
Sheng Qing couldn't hold back any longer and said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, no need to repeat myself, I know you're a jerk."
"Beep beep beep..."
As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, the call was abruptly cut off by Sheng Qing.
After glancing at the call ended message on her phone screen, Qin Wan deleted the call log and tucked her phone back under her pillow.
Less than two minutes after he finished doing all this, Pei Muzhi pushed the door open and came back.
Seeing Qin Wan with her eyes open, a look of surprise and apology flashed across his eyes.
"Sorry, I just went to the restroom."
Qin Wan stared at him longingly, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Pei Muzhi quickly stepped forward and offered her his hand.
Qin Wan didn't hesitate at all and grasped it immediately.
"I...I had a nightmare..."
"What did you dream about?" Pei Muzhi casually brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, the intimate gesture coming naturally.
"I dreamt of..." Qin Wan seemed lost in some kind of memory, a faint look of pain in her eyes.
"I dreamt that my older brother didn't want me... and San'er anymore."
Fortunately, Jiang Huai wasn't there, otherwise he probably would have vomited blood on the spot.
Qin Wan's words were clearly superfluous; they were incidental, and he was used as a shield.
Unlike Qin Wan, who was secretive and dared not express her feelings, Pei Muzhi was much more blatant.
He affectionately tapped Qin Wan's nose. "You."
"I can give up anything, but I will never give up you."
As soon as Pei Muzhi said this, the large ward fell into an eerie silence.
Their eyes met...
The tenderness and doting in his eyes were obvious and undisguised.
The surprise, disbelief, and slight unease in her eyes were also clearly visible.
"Big brother...?" Qin Wan called out tentatively.
"Um?"
Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow at her, but his fingertips began to wander, sliding down her nose...
It was as if it had just brushed lightly across her lips without her noticing, without lingering for even a second.
In that instant, the panic in Qin Wan's eyes was glaringly obvious, and Pei Muzhi captured it perfectly.
Pei Muzhi's eyebrows curved slightly, and a hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes.
Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 95.
It seems this little girl is also someone who is not entirely free from worldly desires.
He wasn't the only one.
Thinking of this, Pei Muzhi's face showed a satisfied expression.
If she's also willing, things will be much easier.
In this way, he can avoid a lot of detours and just go straight for the ball.
Thinking of this, Pei Muzhi suddenly bent down and moved closer to Qin Wan...
Qin Wan subconsciously held her breath, her pupils contracted slightly, and her whole body tensed and stiffened, not daring to move.
"Big, big brother..." she murmured unconsciously.
"Hmm?" Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow.
"What...what are you going to do?" Qin Wan asked anxiously.
"I was worried you'd get tired from lying down for too long, so I'm helping you adjust."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Muzhi gently lifted her hand, adjusted the height of the pillow for her, and tested its softness and comfort.
Throughout the entire process, Qin Wan remained stiff and dared not move an inch.
While Qin Wan was in a state of utter confusion, a faint smile flashed across Pei Muzhi's eyes.
Silly girl.
Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 1, current favorability is 96.
After adjusting his posture, Pei Muzhi sat down by the hospital bed, letting Qin Wan hold his hand tightly.
"Would you like to sleep a little longer?" he asked gently.
Qin Wan gently shook her head, "Can't sleep?"
"Hmm?" Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow. "Did you get enough sleep?"
"...No." Qin Wan gently shook her head.
Under Pei Muzhi's curious gaze, she gently bit her lower lip, her eyes fixed on him, unwilling to look away for even a moment...
