After taking a bath, Shen Muzhi had sorted out some of his thoughts.
He walked to the bedside and saw that Xiang Zhilan was already asleep, breathing very lightly, her face very peaceful.
He stared at her face, scrutinizing it closely. Mu Qing had died too young, and his memory of her was hazy, but he remembered that Su Yan resembled Mu Qing. Now, seeing Xiang Zhilan, he realized she didn't look like Su Yan, but rather that both she and Su Yan resembled Mu Qing.
Ha, he actually fell in love with two sisters.
Xiang Zhilan might not mind that their relationship began because she resembled Su Yan, but if he knew they were sisters, he would probably feel uncomfortable. Even he himself felt quite awkward about it.
What exactly is Xin Zikai's purpose, and why did he tell him all this?
He always felt that something bigger was brewing behind all this...
Should he tell Xiang Zhilan about his background?
An illegitimate daughter of unknown father was abandoned at an orphanage by her mother's husband with her mother's consent.
Such a tragic backstory is perhaps better left unknown, and Xiang Zhilan seems to have never been curious about it.
"Uh..." Xiang Zhilan suddenly let out a slightly painful groan, waking up from her deep sleep and opening her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shen Muzhi asked with concern.
"I have a leg cramp." Xiang Zhilan gasped in pain.
Shen Muzhi immediately walked to the foot of the bed, sat down, and placed her calves on his thighs to massage her.
He has practiced martial arts since childhood and has a good understanding of acupoints, making his massages twice as effective.
After pressing for a few minutes, Xiang Zhilan's calves didn't hurt as much, but she still couldn't help but complain coquettishly: "The doctor said that cramps usually only occur in the last two months of life, but I'm only six months old and my calves are already cramping. What am I going to do in the future?"
"I'll massage it for you. From now on, if you get a cramp, no matter how late it is, wake me up," Shen Muzhi said earnestly.
Xiang Zhilan smiled, her lips pursed. She was actually happy to hear the man say that, but she said, "This is your job, why do you need to tell me?"
"Yes, that's true." Shen Muzhi lowered his head and massaged her other leg as well.
Xiang Zhilan yawned, her eyes becoming sleepy again, and chatted idly: "Zikai has been acting strange these past two days. He seems to know who my parents are, and he even went to check my information registered in the bone marrow registry. What do you think he means by that?"
Shen Muzhi paused, then frowned and asked, "Xin Zikai checked your bone marrow records?"
"Yes, they even checked my blood type. I don't know what they're trying to do." Xiang Zhilan yawned repeatedly, her eyes already closed. She was just chatting with Shen Muzhi and didn't expect him to give her any answers. She fell asleep as she talked.
Shen Mu's eyes darkened; Xin Zikai's words to him were indeed for a specific purpose.
Xiang Zhilan's relative might be suffering from some illness and needs Xiang Zhilan's bone marrow donation, so he first gave him a heads-up by explaining his background, and then came back to ask for the bone marrow donation in a few days, which was perfectly reasonable.
It seems most likely to be the side of Zhi Lan's father.
Xiang Zhilan has a rare blood type and is pregnant. No matter what kind of relative they are, he would never agree to let Xiang Zhilan risk donating blood.
Shen Muzhi narrowed his eyes slightly. Xin Zikai said he liked Zhi Lan, but his actions had already shown a bias.
If someone truly liked Zhi Lan, they wouldn't say these things at a time like this.
