Chapter 4 04 I have a younger sister
Driving at lightning speed, Uncle Liu managed to finish the journey that took more than half an hour on the map in just twenty minutes.
It was so quiet in VIP Ward No. 1 of the First Hospital that you could hear a pin drop.
I have a family doctor at home, so I usually don't go to the hospital. If I'm sent here for a checkup, it's definitely not a trivial matter.
He Hui came to the door of the ward panting, pushed it open nervously, and walked through the extremely private corridor of the VIP ward.
Lu Yanfeng was lying on the hospital bed, with a needle in her hand and the liquid in the bottle slowly entering her body through the vein on the back of her hand. Her face was calm and peaceful, as if she had fallen into a sweet dream.
"Huihui, you're here." He Jianmu was only wearing a blue shirt with wrinkles on it, and his suit was casually thrown on the sofa beside him.
His face looked relatively calm, and He Hui felt relieved a little, thinking that his mother should be fine.
"Mom, what's wrong with her?" He Hui asked.
"She's been too tired lately and had a miscarriage. She just needs to rest more." There was a hint of joy in the father's voice.
"Ah?" He Hui couldn't believe her ears. "My mom... is pregnant?"
In my previous life, I was the only daughter of the He family until the avalanche happened. But in this life, I actually have a brother or sister?! Maybe fate is playing a joke on me!
"Yes, it's only been two months." He Jianmu continued with the explosive news, "The ice rink is quite cold, so your mother may not be able to accompany you to every class in the future. Uncle Liu will be responsible for the whole process of transportation, and I will come when I am free."
"Oh, okay."
He Hui's head was still dizzy until he left the ward.

Her mother’s unexpected pregnancy taught her that the world was real and different.
Soon, a wonderful idea was born in her mind - since she wanted to break free from the shackles of fate and fulfill her dream of figure skating, and her mother's belly happened to be nurturing a new life, why not let him/her inherit the family business on her behalf?
He Hui did not realize what kind of "dramatic story" his idea would trigger in the future.
At this moment, she is busy thinking about how to clear another major obstacle on her way to pursuing her dreams - her own father.
As the first step of the plan, He Hui planned to show off his skills to his father when he came to watch her class.
A month later, after much persuasion from He Hui, He Jianmu finally got around to taking on the responsibility of picking up and dropping off his daughter to the ice rink every Saturday.
In the car, He Hui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was wearing a beautiful brand name training suit, with her short legs dangling in the air, "I'm going to do a double jump today."
"So amazing?" He Jianmu steered the car and parked it in the parking space. "Our Huihui is really awesome!"
After being a primary school student for more than two months, He Hui's temper has become more childish. She whined, "I said, I want to be an athlete in the future."
"Really?" He Jianmu thought it was just a dream that a child casually said, and didn't take it seriously. "You said before that you wanted to be a doctor."
"But now I just want to be a figure skater!" He Hui curled her lips.
He Jianmu didn't respond, but just said, "We're here, get off."
He Hui sighed in his heart. It seemed that the road to convincing his father would be long and difficult.
Forget it, I'd better conquer him with my strength!!
After a simple warm-up on land, He Hui started to skate on the ice where there were few people.
After a while, everyone in the rink knew this talented girl. Especially the coaches next door, they were all eager to try to poach her.
"He Hui, good morning!" For example, the uncle in front of me with a smile on his face.
"Good morning."
"Huihui, was it your father who brought you here today?" For example, the sister with the sweet smile beside me.
"Yes, and he sent me there every Saturday after that."
Facing Coach Li's death ray, He Hui calmly completed the warm-up.
Others have their coaches arranging the teaching content, but in He Hui's case, it is the students who push the coach to teach. Coach Li is afraid that He Hui's foundation is not deep enough, but He Hui is anxious to prove her talent to her parents.
Unable to resist the talented student that everyone wanted to snatch away, Coach Li had no choice but to follow He Hui's wishes.
"Let me demonstrate a double jump first." Coach Li looked at He Hui, who was nodding with a look of superiority on his face, and noticed He Jianmu, who was watching outside the fence with his arms folded. He finally understood what it meant to be not from the same family and not to enter the same door.
He turned his head helplessly, and while explaining, he completed a clean and neat double toe loop on the ice, commonly known as 2T.
He Hui nodded after watching it, then put his hands on his chest on the ice, took a deep breath, turned his shoulders, and simulated a double jump in his mind.
Seeing that He Hui was still reluctant to try, Coach Li finally felt that he had a chance to show his skills. He smiled and encouraged her, "It's normal to fail the first few times..."
Swoosh——
He Hui calmly jumped on the ice and quickly completed two rotations in the air. After several months of repeated training, the basic jumping skills of the previous life were basically restored, so the double jump was not too difficult.
"Oh..." Coach Li held his forehead with his hand. What use is he going to have? !
In fact, He Hui is not the type of athlete who is eager to complete the jump right after taking off. She will wait until the highest point and quickly complete two rotations while suspended in the air. The landing angle is very clean, and it is a double jump with a very full number of rotations.
In order to consolidate the effect, He Hui performed several consecutive 2Ts on the ice rink.
Coach Li came to terms with it and decided that being a ruthless demonstration machine was fine.
"Then let me demonstrate the double Lutz jump again." Coach Li said, and jumped twice on the ice.
Time for remake.
He Hui glanced at He Jianmu on the sidelines, who was looking at him with a kind smile.
He Hui gave a confident smile, as if to say, don't blink, just watch.
Soon, the ice skates drew a smooth and deep backward arc on the ice. The girl touched the ice with her right foot, jumped clearly with the inner edge of her left foot, and soared into the air.
One circle, two circles.
After completing two full circles, He Hui landed perfectly, with ice chips flying everywhere. She opened her hands and her body was so stable that it didn't look like she was using those few millimeters of ice skates to make contact.
He Hui subconsciously looked towards the baffle and saw He Jianmu clapping her hands up and down with a faint smile on his face.
"Why not learn the double lutz as well?" Encouraged, He Hui asked Coach Li tentatively, "Learn the Lutz and the Haut-Toe loop as well?"
Coach Li's mouth twitched, but his body resigned itself to the fate and began to slide.
"Miss, whatever you say is what it is." He forced a smile, then glanced at the other coaches who were watching him eagerly, and completed the demonstration of the double hook (2Lz) without hesitation.
He Hui reproduced it perfectly without any pause.
Coach Li demonstrated 2S and 2Lo in succession. He Hui was like a shadow, following Coach Li and copying the movements seamlessly.
Done!
As the two edge jumps landed, He Hui cheered in his heart for completing the double jump version of five jumps in one breath.
She naturally looked towards the baffle, but this time she didn't see her father.
Where are the people? He Hui frowned, and most of her happiness disappeared instantly.
She began to look around, but she couldn't see anyone for a long time. He Hui paused for a moment, and the next time she jumped, she fell on the ice and flipped over.
"What's wrong?" Coach Li asked curiously.
He Hui curled his lips, "It's okay."
Perhaps because she was upset, He Hui stopped looking around and just focused on practicing jumping. She ignored everything else and only saw the ice and the jumping under her feet.
The other five jumps were given away for free, not only was Coach Li stunned, but the coaches nearby were so envious that their eyes turned red.
He Hui skated twice and felt a little tired. For some reason, an idea for a new challenge popped into her mind.
She glided forward, stepped on the inside edge of her left foot and took off, quickly completing two and a half double jumps in the air, and landed smoothly, lightly and gracefully. At this point, all six double jumps were completed.
The coach next to him was completely furious.
"Oh my god... this is 2A?!"
"Oh my god! I didn't see it wrong! It's really Axel Two Weeks!!"
Coach Li's face turned completely pale. Wasn't he even allowed to be a demonstration machine?!
This scene gave his mortal enemy Coach Pei an opportunity to strike back, and he started to mock. "Oh, it's still easier to be a coach of a genius girl. After all, your upper limit is only 2A, right?"
Coach Li, who had never achieved 3A in a competition, rolled his eyes in anger.
Several scenes have already taken place on the sidelines, but He Hui on the field was as calm as if she had just stretched out her arms in the morning. After all, for professional female singles players, 2A is a must-do jump, and there are also many brave players who challenge 3A in the professional arena.
Thinking of this, He Hui jumped three 2A in a row before stopping and holding his knees to catch his breath.
After a while, the clock hand on the wall moved to the hour, and He Jianmu's figure reappeared on the baffle.
He Hui said goodbye to Coach Li, opened the door, put on the blade covers for his ice skates, and then walked onto the hard floor.
"Dad, you didn't even see me do a double jump." He Hui sat on a bench taking off her ice skates, her little mouth pouting so high that you could hang an oil bottle on it.
"Dad saw it, Huihui, you're awesome. I just went to take a work call." He Jianmu held He Hui's coat in his hand, and handed it to her after she packed her skates.
"You haven't even seen me do the double Axel!" He Hui turned her head away, looking like a spoiled young lady who couldn't be appeased.
He Jianmu quickly admitted his mistake, "Dad will definitely turn off all his phones next week to watch you train."
"Hmph, that's more like it."

On a sunny morning in March 2005, with the cry of a baby, He Hui had a younger sister in his second life.
My sister’s name is Lu Xing, and she has the same surname as my mother, Lu Yanfeng.
During the 100-day banquet, Lu Xing's parents prepared a simple one-year-old ceremony for him. The small table was filled with a variety of small items, including pens, paintbrushes, abacus, 100-yuan bills, jewelry, etc.
He Hui thought, if only her sister could grab an abacus or a hundred-dollar bill. In this way, Lu Xing would be the chosen heir! Besides, the hundred-dollar bill is so brightly colored that the child should be able to spot it at a glance, right?
She was still worried and secretly adjusted the position of the items before the ceremony started, placing the hundred-yuan bill in the center where it was easiest to hook.
"Well, now it's foolproof!" She prayed in her heart that the plan would succeed.
At the end of the banquet, Lu Yanfeng came on stage holding Lu Xing, while He Jianmu held the tray full of objects and guided his second daughter to complete the one-year-old ceremony.
Lu Xing blinked his big eyes in confusion, and kept putting his hands into his mouth, unwilling to grab anything for a long time.
He Hui was so anxious that she wanted to put the money into her sister's hands.
Under everyone's curious gaze, Lu Xing finally took her right hand out of her mouth and moved towards the tray. When her hand hovered over the hundred-dollar bill, He Hui felt her throat jump to her throat.
But Lu Xing's hand did not stop when passing by the hundred-dollar bill, but went straight towards the long paintbrush.
Under the attention, Lu Xing grabbed the paintbrush and smiled particularly sweetly.
Lu Yanfeng was very happy, "It seems that our sister is going to be a painter."
He Hui forced a smile and consoled himself in his heart: "It's okay, the one-year-old ceremony is all superstition."
That night, He Hui still came to the baby's room, held his chin in his hand and cast a "spell" on the sleeping baby - "Xingxing, you must grow up well."
He Hui poked his sister's soft cheek with his finger and said, "From now on, you will inherit the family business for me!"
