Chapter 36
Late at night, 26-year-old Zhou Ping'an was awakened by the housekeeper.
Ping An answered the phone dazedly: "Hello?"
The next second, she hung up the phone.
The phone rang again soon, and the housekeeper's eyes pleaded. Ping An had no choice but to answer the phone again: "What! I won't go with you!"
Cheng Xiangheng's voice was weak and aggrieved on the phone: "But every time I was sick before, you were always by my side."
Ping An was a little impatient: "You are already grown up, not a child anymore!"
Cheng Xiangheng was silent for a moment: "But I need you to accompany me now. Here... it's dark and cold..."
Ping An was speechless: "If it's dark, turn on the light. If it's cold, add a blanket. It's useless even if you ask me to come over. I'm not a glowing electric blanket!"
There was silence over there for a moment. Just as Ping An was about to hang up, Cheng Xiangheng's low voice rang out: "Sister, do you want to know, if you don't come tonight, where will your brother appear in the sea tomorrow morning?"
Twenty minutes later, Ping An was lying on Cheng Xiangheng's hospital bed.
Cheng Xiangheng had a thick bandage wrapped around his head and was leaning on the sofa. His face was sickly pale, his eyes were full of affection, and he looked at Ping An silently.
Ping An couldn't sleep because he was staring at him. There was internet in the hospital, so he simply picked up his phone and started watching Lu Jiangjiang.
After watching for a while, Cheng Xiangheng kissed him stickyly. Ping An pushed him away expressionlessly and sat up.
"What kind of person will my brother be when he grows up?"
Cheng Xiangheng paused and thought for a moment: "Waste."
Ping An choked. Could it be that Cheng Xiangheng thought that everyone in the world who was dumber than him was a loser?
Cheng Xiangheng smiled flatteringly: "An An, don't compare yourself with him in your heart. An An is the best person in the world."
"I'm talking about his character."
Ping An saw Cheng Xiangheng frowning. His head had been hit twice. Forcing him to think was really a bit unreasonable, but Ping An didn't care.
"Hypocritical and shameless character, vain and frivolous."
This was Cheng Xiangheng's evaluation of her younger brother Zhou Rugu. Ping An couldn't help but pinch him.
Cheng Xiangheng kissed her hand and put her fingers in his mouth, biting them gently: "An An, please don't look for him anymore, okay? He is not worth your time."
Ping An sneered as he pulled his fingers out and wiped them on his shoulder: "Are you really worth it, Cheng Xiangheng?"
Cheng Xiangheng pursed his lips, then stood up and lay beside Ping An. Before she could struggle, he softly promised, "It's worth it, sister. It's worth being with me."
Ping An lowered his eyes, revealing a hint of sadness. "But you only trap me. I'm like a canary next to you, just waiting for you to come to my bed every day. Our relationship is not normal at all."
Cheng Xiangheng hugged Ping'an's waist tightly, his eyes deep, like mist covering the bright moon: "Sister, I love you."
If I love you till I die,
——
Cheng Xiangheng was discharged from the hospital after only a few days. Cheng Xiangheng's company is very large and he himself is very busy, so he went out to work before his injury was fully healed.
Ping'an returned home again. This time, Ping'an could come and go freely in the Cheng family. The new mobile phone was placed on the bedside. Ping'an clicked on it and found that the only friend on the social account was Cheng Xiangheng.
He blocked and deleted the other party, and walked out of the door safely. A few bodyguards followed him not far away. They were in casual clothes and did not attract attention in the crowd.
But Ping An didn't like it very much.
Sitting in the store, Ping An used Cheng Xiangheng's money to buy ten chicken chops of different flavors. Thinking that the bodyguards would not eat the food she bought, she did not buy it for them and enjoyed the ten chicken chops herself.
At this moment, someone sat opposite Ping An.
Subconsciously raising her head, she saw a very handsome face. The young man was about twenty years old, about 1.78 meters tall, with clean skin, handsome and cute features, especially the slightly upturned corners of his eyes. Even when he was not smiling, he looked a little bit smiling. There were already many boys and girls around looking at him, but he looked at Ping An as if he knew nothing.
Ping An blinked and saw the face that looked almost 80% similar to hers, and understood the other person's identity.
Her younger brother, Zhou Rugu.
Zhou Rugu smiled at Ping An and said, "Sister, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you just looking at me and not saying anything?"
Ping An slowly sat up straight, and his first reaction was to look at the bodyguards in the distance. They had also seen this side and were reporting something on the phone.
Ping An asked, "Who asked you to come?"
Zhou Rugu said, "I wanted to come here on my own. You didn't reply to the WeChat message I sent you. I heard from Sister Xiaoqiu that you had lost your memory. I was very worried about you, so I came to see you."
Without Cheng Xiangheng's obstruction, the siblings were able to meet easily.
Ping An: "I did lose my memory."
It was really strange, Ping An thought. The brother she wanted to see the most was sitting in front of her. They were clearly related by blood, but her heart was so calm that there was no ripple at all.
The first time she saw Cheng Xiangheng after losing her memory, she felt a mixture of emotions. It was as if she experienced all the bittersweet emotions all at once in her mind, and that sour feeling was uncontrollable no matter what. But seeing this face that looked so similar to hers, Ping An felt no emotion in her heart.
Seeing Ping An staring at his face without saying anything, Zhou Rugu took the initiative to speak: "It's better if you don't remember. Many things are too painful for you. It's a good thing not to remember."
Ping An said, "We haven't been in touch for a long time. Why didn't you contact me before, but suddenly contacted me now?"
Zhou Rugu gave a wry smile. "Sister, I'm still in school, so we usually keep in touch online. Winter vacation has started in the past two days, so I definitely want to come see you. Mom and Dad are both gone, and now it's just the two of us. Wherever you are, that's home."
These words were so touching that Ping An didn't feel touched at all. She began to wonder if Cheng Xiangheng was too abnormal, which raised her threshold.
Zhou Rugu said, "The New Year is coming soon."
Ping An thought, yes, the New Year is coming soon, and so much time has passed, and it seems like there is no one around her.
"Sister, I miss you so much." Zhou Rugu whispered, "School is out for the holidays, and I don't have much money. Can I live with you this year?"
Ping'an listened to his words and sighed heavily in her heart. Before they met, she thought her brother was her relative and she had to meet him.
Now it seems that this brother is not what she imagined.
Ping'an and Cheng Xiangheng had been together for too long and had met some people. Zhou Rugu didn't come to her to reminisce about the past, nor was he worried about her health. He came to ask her for money.
The chicken chop shop clearly had the heater on, but Ping An felt a chill slowly enveloping her.
So cold and lonely.
Seeing Ping An's lack of interest, Zhou Rugu couldn't help but stammer, "Sister, I want to tell you something. Do you want to leave Cheng Xiangheng?"
