The entire room was decorated like a funeral parlor; the sheets, furniture, floors, walls… everything you could see was snow-white.
The sight of the pale, thin girl lying on the bed gave Ye Qingqing an indescribable feeling, and her heart sank unconsciously.
No normal person would decorate their room like this. It seems that Mai Tsumabu has been ill for a long time and has some psychological problems.
"Mai, the miracle doctor your brother told you about has arrived," Tsumabuki Minami said gently as she walked to the bedside.
The girl, who had been pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Ye Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine. Tsumabu Mai's body was as thin as a ten-year-old child, but her head was unusually large, just like Sweetie before, except Tsumabu Mai was even more exaggerated.
But the girl's eyes didn't look like those of someone terminally ill at all. They were sharp and cold, and her dark eyes were as deep as the starry sea. Just by looking into those eyes, Ye Qingqing felt that the other person was a wise person who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
But in reality, she was just a sickly girl who never left her house, and was even on the verge of death.
"Hello."
Mai Tsumabuki spoke, surprising Ye Qingqing once again. The girl spoke fluent Chinese, even more fluently than Kimi Tsumabuki, without any stiffness, and her Mandarin was more authentic than that of some Chinese people.
Minami Tsumabuki proudly said, "Mai has a great talent for languages. She taught me Chinese, but I'm just too stupid to speak it well."
Ye Qingqing smiled and praised, "You two siblings are both very talented. You have a talent for Go, and Miss Mai has a talent for languages."
"No, actually Mai's Go talent is greater than mine; I can't even beat her."
Tsumabuki Minami shook his head repeatedly and said something even more shocking. Ye Qingqing frowned slightly. Tsumabuki Minami was a Go genius that only appeared once in a century in China. If Tsumabuki Mai was really more powerful than her brother, then how powerful must this girl be?
A language genius and a Go genius, is his brain even capable of handling it?
Ye Qingqing suddenly thought of a saying: "Early talent is bound to bring misfortune." Many child prodigies in history did not have a good ending, and some even suffered setbacks in their fortune and lifespan. The current Tsumabu Mai is a perfect example of this saying.
"Brother always exaggerates. I'm actually not that amazing. Can I call you Sister Qingqing?"
Mai Tsuma's voice was as sweet as a little girl's. Her eyes were now innocent and gentle, as endearing as a fawn. Ye Qingqing almost forgot her previous deep gaze and subconsciously felt a fondness for the girl.
"Of course, let me take your pulse first."
Ye Qingqing approached the bed and grasped Tsumabu Mai's slender wrist. She could easily hold it with just her thumb and forefinger, which showed how thin the girl's hand was—so thin it was heartbreaking.
"Thanks……"
Mai Tsumabu was in very bad condition; she could only manage a few words before becoming breathless, and a few red spots appeared on her pale face.
In fact, all the children in the Tsumabu family are good-looking. Tsumabu Minami is an extremely handsome young man. Although his older brother is not as handsome as him, he is more dashing and has a dignified appearance, resembling their father more.
Minami Tsumabuki and her younger sister both resemble their mother more, making them more delicate-looking. However, Minami Tsumabuki and Mai don't look very alike and are likely fraternal twins.
Ye Qingqing only tested for a short while before she frowned. Mai's condition was worse than she had expected. All of her organs were beginning to fail. Just as the doctor said, every day that passed was a bonus, and it was time to prepare for her death.
