Chapter 181 Willing to Do Anything
The doctor arrived quickly.
"It was a fainting spell caused by excitement. Just get some rest."
Tu Chaoxi, Nan Ke, Lin Yue, and Tu Yao silently watched the old man on the bed.
Tu Yao's hand was still firmly holding her withered wrist.
She had held Madam Jiang's hand many times, but never before had she felt as sad as she did today.
...
Behind them, Xu Bai, Cheng Sangsang, Jiang Ye, and Wen Yu looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one expected that a single photo would reveal so much information.
Xu Bai couldn't help but confirm again: "...Does Madam Jiang mean that Teacher Tu, Nan Ke, Lin Yue, and...my eldest sister are all her grandsons?"
Wen Yu remained silent for a moment, then accurately grasped another point.
"So... the younger sister is actually Teacher Tu's younger sister, is that what you mean...?"
Xu Bai fell silent instantly.
Hearing this, she turned her head and said, "Sangsang, based on what you just said... you already knew?"
Cheng Sangsang nervously scratched her curly hair.
No wonder their sibling relationship is so natural.
Unexpected... yet not unexpected.
But the next second, Wen Yu frowned: "So...did my sister know before?"
These words quietly reached everyone's ears.
The ward fell even quieter for a moment.
Tu Chaoxi, Nan Ke, and Lin Yue couldn't help but look across at each other.
From the moment Tu Chaoxi recognized the photo, Tu Yao never uttered a word, only holding Madam Jiang's hand with her head down.
Tu Chaoxi suddenly realized that she hadn't shown the slightest bit of shock just now.
He walked around the hospital bed, squatted down in front of her, and looked at her head, which was burying itself deeper into her chest. His tone was obscure: "Tu Xiaomao, you... did you already know who you were?"
Tu Yao almost squatted down into a mushroom shape, and muttered, "What do you know... The Grand Madam didn't tell me..."
“You know what I’m talking about, look up.”
Tu Yao slowly and uneasily raised her eyes, met Tu Chaoxi's complicated gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Um……"
"...When did you find out?"
Tu Yao whispered, "...during the recording of the program."
He added, "The first day."
After he finished speaking, everyone inside and outside the ward was stunned.
Nan Ke and Lin Yue exchanged a glance.
Tu Chaoxi's head really went off.
"...How did you know?"
Tu Yao was silent for a while, her words a mixture of truth and falsehood, "Because you didn't seem like you didn't know me, and later... you were very nice to me."
"...Second brother and younger brother are both doing well."
Tu Chaoxi's voice was slightly hoarse: "Then why didn't you tell us?"
"...I dare not."
Tu Yao paused for a moment, then said softly, "I think... I might have done something wrong in the past that made you unhappy, and you're angry with me."
"I……"
She pursed her lips: "Brother, I'm sorry..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tu Chaoxi suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
Tu Yao was taken aback and looked up at him.
Tu Chaoxi's eyes reddened slightly, and she tugged at the corner of her lips.
For some reason, he had a gut feeling that he couldn't let Tu Yao say "I'm sorry."
He took a deep breath. "I should apologize to you, brother. I haven't dared to tell you the truth."
Do you know why?
Tu Yao shook her head.
"Because at that time... I was carrying so many charges against me, I was really ashamed to acknowledge you."
“I’m not as brave as you. You’ve been protecting us ever since you found out we’re your brothers. I’m too timid, that’s why it’s taken so long.”
Before she could react, Nan Ke walked straight over, squatted down in front of her, and gently stroked the corner of her slightly red eyes with his fingertips.
He gazed at her tenderly: "...I'm sorry, actually, your second brother recognized you a long time ago, but as you know, back then your second brother was embroiled in a plagiarism scandal and even set fire to the music room, so I didn't dare to acknowledge you."
"Tu Xiaomao..."
Lin Yue subconsciously prepared to speak, but lying was still a bit difficult for him.
After struggling for a while, he managed to utter only a few words: "...Me too."
Nan Ke glanced at him helplessly.
Tu Chaoxi's tone was more serious than ever before: "So, Tu Xiaomao, remember this, it's not your fault, it's just that we're timid, understand?"
"Now I'll tell you formally."
"You are our sister."
He declared, word by word: "You are the younger sister of Tu Chaoxi, Nan Ke, and Lin Yue."
His voice choked with emotion: "...I'm sorry for making you wait so long, can you forgive us?"
Tu Yao stared blankly at the sky, her head tilted back.
She suddenly remembered the day she and Lin Yue first recognized each other. In the car, Tu Chaoxi asked her for the second time if she wanted to recall those memories.
She said she didn't want to recall bad memories.
After that, she kept waiting.
Her brothers will fabricate a happy, fulfilling memory to cover up the past they don't want to remember.
But she never imagined that today, they would choose to take the blame upon themselves.
At that time, she told her stepfather that when that day came, she would accept it happily, no matter what.
So now, after a moment of stunned silence, Tu Yao forced a smile.
"...Oh, I see."
But after saying that, she couldn't help herself and turned to bury her face in Nan Ke's shoulder.
"...Then can you forgive me too?"
Nan Ke was slightly taken aback, and stroked her head: "Forgive you for what?"
A few seconds later, a muffled sob came from her arms.
"...Forgive me for not being able to remember things from before."
...Forgive me for pretending not to know the suffering you've endured, even though I know it all.
Nan Ke lowered her eyes and murmured softly.
"Fool……"
...I hope you never remember it.
He said, "Of course."
...
A few minutes later, Madam Jiang slowly woke up.
With her vision still blurry, she instinctively looked around.
The next second, she heard Tu Yao lean over her bedside and whisper, "Don't get up, lie down first."
Nan Ke said gently, "The doctor said you have a bit of low blood sugar."
Tu Chaoxi: "I've prepared some glucose; the nurse will come and put it in your IV drip in a bit."
Lin Yue pursed her lips: "Would you... like some water?"
My vision gradually cleared with each sound.
Madam Jiang's eyes reddened, and she suddenly spoke: "Would you... be willing to have an apology performed with me?"
In the last second before she fell into a coma, she had already decided that they were her little grandsons.
But she didn't know if these children would believe it.
"Just consider it... just consider it playing along with my nonsense."
For the second time in her life, Madam Jiang lost her composure and stammered, "Or...would you be willing to tell me about your childhood?"
Before she could finish speaking, Tu Yao took her hand and whispered, "...We're willing."
"Don't worry, we're willing to do whatever you want us to do."
Madam Jiang burst into tears instantly.
"Okay...okay."
The doctor quickly took the sample and informed them that the results would not be available until the evening at the earliest.
Evening, that means there are still eight hours left...
Madam Jiang couldn't help but ask again, "Xiao Mao, last time you only showed me Fengchun and Zhuxing's photo albums, and some... photos of my little grandson. Did you not have time to see them yet?"
"Would you... be willing to watch it with me?"
