Ji Shuyun was still carrying a lot of bags in his hands. He freed one hand and touched Xia Zhining's forehead, then immediately put it back.
"Is the fever gone?"
Xia Zhining nodded blankly.
Ji Shuyun closed the door, his tone revealing worry: "Why are you so dazed? Are you crazy?"
Xia Zhining's expression froze. Her brother was so rude.
Ji Shuyun was wearing a navy blue training suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his long legs were wrapped in black work pants.
His tall figure seemed particularly cramped in the small rental house.
"Come and eat." He put the hot porridge and snacks on the table, and took out a big bag of snacks.
Xia Zhining had been hungry all day, so she took the chopsticks and started eating.
Ji Shuyun looked at her wolfing down the food, with guilt in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
A month ago, he learned that Xia Zhining was his biological sister, but he did not have the courage to contact Xia Zhining.
Xia Qingqing, who raised him since childhood, despised and hated him for being useless and earning little money.
Apart from sending Xia Qingqing living expenses on time every month, or asking her to use his credit card when she was short of money, they rarely spoke to each other throughout the year.
Xia Zhining... After living in a wealthy family like the Xia family for twenty-two years, Ji Shuyun was really not sure whether this biological sister would reject her poor brother like Xia Qingqing.
It was not until Xia Qingqing let slip when she asked for her household registration that Ji Shuyun learned that Xia Zhining was kicked out of the house.
Xia Zhining looked up in surprise when she heard Ji Shuyun's sudden apology.
Xia Zhining called out "Brother" awkwardly.
"Brother, no need to apologize."
"We just met, so we're not familiar with each other. Besides, you're busy with work."
Seeing that his sister had not yet shown any rejection of him, Ji Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, let's eat."
The two of them didn't speak anymore, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Ji Shuyun looked around, stood up, quickly packed up her messy suitcase, picked up a rag and wiped the furniture until it was spotless.
In just one meal's time, the small rental house was transformed.
Xia Zhining was surprised. It turned out that her brother was so good at managing the household?
She speculated that after his biological parents died early, Ji Shuyun raised Daxia Qingqing alone with scholarships and part-time jobs.
These years of independent living have made him a good family brother.
After Xia Zhining finished eating, Ji Shuyun quickly cleaned up the table with numb hands and feet.
Place a set of equipment next to Xia Zhining's bed.
Xia Zhining blinked in confusion: "Brother, what is this?"
Ji Shuyun said seriously, "This is a motorized baton that the villagers in town use to drive pigs. It's very useful for self-defense, and it's legal."
Xia Zhining burst out laughing. She hadn't expected working in a township to have so many advantages. "Brother, you're worthy of me!"
Ji Shuyun thought Xia Zhining would dislike the things he brought from the countryside, but he didn't expect that she didn't care at all.
This little episode made the atmosphere between the unfamiliar brother and sister much more relaxed.
"Zhi Ning, tell me more about the details of discovering Zhou Zifeng."
Ji Shuyun opened a bottle of milk and placed it in front of Xia Zhining.
Xia Zhining paused. "Last night, I went downstairs to take out the trash and brushed past someone. I felt that he looked very similar to Zhou Zifeng on the wanted poster."
"His aura seemed familiar to me. I remembered three nights ago, when I was closing the screen window, I noticed someone standing downstairs looking at me."
Ji Shuyun stared at Xia Zhining and noticed that Xia Zhining looked to the upper right when she spoke.
This was a micro-expression that indicated a lie, but Ji Shuyun did not expose it.
Zhi Ning looked very insecure. No matter what the reason was for her lying, he would accompany her today.
Unable to claim that she could understand squirrels, Xia Zhining could only make up a story: "I noticed that the two of them walk in the same way!"
"He seems to have been observing me these past few days,"
After saying that, she looked at Ji Shuyun cautiously, afraid that he didn't believe her.
