Minami Tsumabuki is the second of three siblings, with an older brother. He and his sister are twins, a boy and a girl. Although they are not identical twins, they have a very good relationship.
Moreover, because his older brother was eight years older than them and was going to take over the family business, his older brother had to undergo rigorous training from a young age, keeping him constantly busy like a spinning top. In Tsumabuki Minami's memory, his older brother was busy studying every day, and when he got a little older, he would go to the company for an internship, so he was rarely seen from morning to night.
Father was also very busy, often working until late at night before returning home. Although Mother was a full-time housewife, she devoted most of her energy to her younger sister because of her sister's poor health. Tsumabuki Minami was somewhat invisible at home and did not receive much care.
This also led Minami Tsumabuki to learn to find joy in books and Go at a very young age, and to be able to play all day by herself.
Moreover, he did not resent his parents for focusing on his younger sister. On the contrary, he felt guilty. He felt that he was too domineering in the womb and took away his sister's nutrients, which is why his sister was born weak and even developed leukemia when she was six years old.
He was able to grow up healthy, but his sister had to take medicine like food since she was a child, and even had to suffer from illness. She couldn't run freely on the lawn like him, go to school, or participate in school group activities such as spring and autumn outings.
My younger sister has never attended school, spends more time in the hospital than at home, and even when she is at home, she spends most of her time in bed...
Tsumabuki Minami felt sorry for his sister and felt even more guilty. He hoped that his sister would get better soon, so after learning from Chika that there was a miracle doctor in China who could cure his sister, he took advantage of the competition to stay in Pingjiang for a few more days in order to find Ye Qingqing.
"Dr. Ye, please save my sister! I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"
Suddenly, Tsumabuki Minami stood up, bowed ninety degrees to Ye Qingqing, and refused to get up while still bent over.
Ye Qingqing was startled and stood up as well, helping him up. "Let's talk this out. Don't be so formal. I don't know the specifics of your sister's situation, so I can't promise anything right now."
She had a good impression of Tsumabuki Minami. She shouldn't exclude him just because he was Chinese. There were many peace-loving people there, and since Master Nie invited him to his home for dinner, his character must be impeccable.
Despite Master Nie's childlike demeanor, Ye Qingqing felt that his eyesight was exceptionally sharp, and he was very accurate in judging people. After all, Si Haoxing was easily killed by the master.
Tsumabuki Minami wanted to bow again, but Master Nie spoke up, "Speaking while sitting down, you're not tired of talking while bending over, but I'm tired just watching you."
"yes."
Tsumabuki Minami sat down respectfully and told Ye Qingqing about his sister's situation.
The younger sister's name is Mai Tsumabu. She and Minami Tsumabu are fraternal twins. She was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of six and has been undergoing treatment ever since. The treatment has been fraught with difficulties for more than ten years. This year, her condition worsened, and the doctor said that there was nothing more that could be done. He told Minami Tsumabu and her family to prepare themselves mentally.
"Mai was only seventeen years old. She tried so hard to live, but she couldn't even fulfill her wish to go on a school trip..."
As Tsumabuki Minami spoke, tears streamed down his face. Although his parents, brothers, and sister didn't blame him, he had been consumed by self-reproach for years. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so domineering, Mai wouldn't have gotten sick. Why wasn't I the one who was sick... I'm the one who should have gotten sick..."
