Shen Yunqing's eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed Shen Huaizhi's arm to prevent him from retracting it.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you weren't hurt?"
There was not only worry but also heartache in that look.
Shen Huaizhi smiled, looking completely unconcerned.
"It's just a minor wound, just a grazed by a bullet. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Shen Yunqing's eyes were red.
"It's such a long wound, and it hasn't even scabbed over yet. How could it not hurt?"
Seeing that she was about to cry, Shen Huaizhi frowned with heartache, subconsciously holding her wrist, and his voice softened.
"Brother is really fine, don't worry."
Shen Yunqing didn't listen at all, she immediately stood up in a hurry.
"Qingzhou, where is your medicine box? Can you lend it to me?"
Ji Qingzhou nodded and pointed out the location to her, and Shen Yunqing ran over immediately.
Ji Qingzhou and Xie Yanbei looked at each other silently.
Ji Qingzhou lowered his voice and asked:
"Has Shen Huaizhi ever been so gentle to other people?"
Xie Yanbei shook his head without hesitation.
"Yun Qing is unique."
Ji Qingzhou had never thought much about it before, but now, looking at the way the brother and sister get along, he feels that something is wrong no matter how he looks at it.
Not like brother and sister, more like... lovers.
After the bandage was finally completed, Shen Huaizhi comforted her a few more words, and Shen Yunqing finally felt better.
Continuing with the meal, Xie Yanbei picked up some food for Ji Qingzhou as usual.
He knew that Ji Qingzhou hated peppercorns, and now that she was pregnant, she tried not to eat anything too spicy.
He picked out all the peppercorns, rinsed the spicy vegetables, put them in a small bowl specially used for dishes, and handed it to her.
Even the fish bones were carefully picked out by Xie Yanbei.
Ji Qingzhou didn't even need to stretch her arms to eat, and Xie Yanbei wanted to feed her directly.
After he finished, he didn't forget to ask: "Tell me which one you want to eat, and I'll help you pick it up."
Ji Qingzhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
While eating, he looked up and found that Shen Huaizhi was doing the same as Xie Yanbei, picking out all the fish bones and putting them into Shen Yunqing's bowl.
Seeing the vegetable juice accidentally touch Shen Yunqing's mouth, Shen Huaizhi did not react at all, and wiped it clean for Shen Yunqing very naturally.
Ji Qingzhou saw this and became even more frightened.
If she had only suspected it before, now she was almost certain of it.
The relationship between Yun Qing and Shen Huaizhi is definitely more than just brother and sister.
But she clearly remembered that in her previous life, Shen Huaizhi sacrificed himself at the border, and there didn't seem to be such a development.
Looking at the current situation... Ji Qingzhou was really a little nervous.
As luck would have it, Xie Yanbei seemed to have noticed something and looked over at this moment.
Ji Qingzhou quickly pretended to be calm, picked up the bowl and stood up as if to cover up his mistake.
"I'll get some soup."
After saying that, he immediately turned around, leaving Xie Yanbei with only his back.
Xie Yanbei didn't doubt it too much and continued drinking with Shen Huaizhi.
Shen Yunqing glanced at Shen Huaizhi's slightly tipsy appearance, and while worrying that he had drunk too much, he also picked up the bowl and stood up.
"Brother, drink less first. I'll get you some soup to sober you up."
As she spoke, she took a few quick steps and caught up with Ji Qingzhou.
Ji Qingzhou was originally worrying about what excuse to use to call her out, and now he had seized the opportunity.
As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, Ji Qingzhou immediately pulled Shen Yunqing to the corner and asked in a low voice.
"Yun Qing, I won't beat around the bush with you. Tell me the truth. What's going on between you and Shen Huaizhi?"
Shen Yunqing was stunned for a moment, and the two blushes on his face seemed to become a little darker.
Her eyes flickered twice and she hesitated.
"You know everything about our relationship."
Ji Qingzhou frowned.
"I only knew that you two were brother and sister. What I want to know is your relationship beyond that."
The words were already so clear that Ji Qingzhou almost asked directly, "Do you and your brother like each other?"
Shen Yunqing couldn't hide it from Ji Qingzhou anymore, so he sighed and had to tell her about his life experience.
After hearing this, Ji Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat and he was a little bit unbelievable.
"You are not siblings?"
But Shen's parents did give birth to a baby girl that year. She had heard her parents talk about it before, so it couldn't be wrong.
So where are the Shen family’s children?
As Ji Qingzhou was thinking, his mind wandered and the scene he saw in the ward of Shen's parents that morning suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
That face that was so similar to hers, and the strange feeling in her heart at that time.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Shen Yunqing thought that she had some opinion about him, and lowered his head sadly.
"Qingzhou, do you think I'm weird?"
"Even if they're not siblings, they grew up together, like family. How could they develop such feelings after spending so many years together?"
Shen Yunqing's voice became smaller and smaller, and he felt both self-blaming and conflicted.
"But I don't know what happened. I knew a long time ago that he wasn't my biological brother, and I kept thinking..."
She felt helpless.
"But I have been keeping these thoughts well hidden. Shen Huaizhi probably doesn't know about them yet."
"Whether I'm a biological child or not, I'm still a child of the Shen family. My feelings can never be seen in public."
She took a deep breath and said, "Now that my parents are back, I will hide this feeling from now on..."
"My parents and brother have loved me for so many years. I can't let conflicts and problems arise in this family because of me."
That would only make her feel more guilty and sad.
Ji Qingzhou listened and couldn't help sighing.
Shen Yunqing immediately looked towards Ji Qingzhou cautiously like a frightened deer.
"Qingzhou, please don't alienate me because of this matter, okay?"
