My sickly little sister is too clingy, I just keep sticking to her.

"???"

In short~

Chen Xia's brain went blank for a moment, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Wang Zi was no longer strange, but... weird, as if she doubted whether she had heard correctly.

"You mean...?"

"It's that special feeling."

“…………”

If it was just a suspicion before, it's now confirmed.

This person must be mentally ill.

What nonsense are you spouting?

Just watch~

Chen Xia remained silent, then said with a look of disgust, "What do you mean, 'what to do'? I'm not a pervert, and... Xiaoxue isn't mentally ill. How could a normal person act like this?"

"But Chen Xue..."

Before he could finish speaking

Chen Xia interrupted him, and it was clear that his expression was rather unpleasant: "You've seen it yourself, Xiaoxue has recovered very well, I admit that! You're a very good doctor, but there are some things you can't say carelessly, you know?"

“…………”

Wang Zi wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

This family...

never mind!

There's no point in me saying anything here; I might as well go find someone else. After all, in some ways, Chen Xia is an outsider too.

To be precise, he should be considered a victim.

So be it.

Wang Zi took a deep breath: "Okay, I understand."

"That Xiaoxue..."

"She's recovering very well, but we still need to be careful. Her spirits have improved a lot, but she's still a bit weak. She should pay attention to her diet and sleep schedule."

"I know... there's more...?"

"besides……"

After thinking for a while, Wang Zi seemed to have thought of something and said, "If possible, you can have Xiaoxue find something to do."

"Should we send her to work?"

"No, no, no~"

Wang Zi shook his head: "It doesn't have to be work. It can be something else, like building Lego, playing games, or drawing. In short, Chen Xue needs to have something to do, which will be good for her recovery."

“…………”

Chen Xia did not refuse.

He had heard his family mention this before; there was once an old man whose lifelong dream was to carve out a road through the mountain in front of him.

After decades of effort, the breakthrough has finally been achieved.

The old man was over seventy years old at that time, but he was in good health and not inferior to many young people. As a result, he passed away peacefully in less than half a year.

According to his family, this was because he had lost his goal and felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Chen Xue now?

It should be somewhat similar to this.

He immediately nodded: "I have no objection to that, but you should consult Xiaoxue's opinion, as she is the one in charge of this medical appointment."

"understood."

Wang Zi nodded, as for the relationship between the two.

never mind!

Go find your parents.

They couldn't reason with the Chen family, so they went to Wang Xiaoman. After a brief conversation, the two of them pushed open the door and went out. There was nothing wrong with this action.

But the moment they opened the door, they heard a cry of pain.

As for who it is?

It was Chen Xue, of course.

Because they were eavesdropping on the door, they didn't have time to avoid the risk of the door opening.

Therefore, he fell.

The moment she saw Wang Zi emerge, she immediately adjusted her posture, bringing her legs together and asking with displeasure, "Where's my brother?"

"later……"

Seeing Chen Xue's state, Wang Zi felt conflicted and her face turned grim. In the end, she didn't choose to offer any advice, but instead took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Xue, come here. I have something to tell you."

"???"

What did you say?

At this moment~

Chen Xue sensed the crisis.

He immediately switched to combat mode, but this state was only for Wang Zi. As for Chen Xia... Chen Xue immediately reverted to her obedient expression after seeing him.

"Brother, you're out? How are you feeling?"

Chen Xia naturally understood what had happened outside, and said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm fine, it's mainly you. Of all things to do, you had to learn to eavesdrop, and now you've fallen down, haven't you?"

Hehehe~

Faced with the accusations, Chen Xue was not angry at all. Instead, after getting up, she affectionately hugged Chen Xia's arm.

See here~

Wang Zi is now completely certain.

Chen Xue was able to recover so quickly because she used an evil cultivation technique.

While heretical practices are evil, they are indeed fast.

It seems good on the surface, but if left unchecked, it will definitely cause uncontrollable panic. What we can do now is to stabilize these two and then let the parents intervene.

A certain evil relationship must be nipped in the bud.

Having made up her mind, she took a deep breath, trying her best to hide her emotions, and her expression became calm. After the two sat down...

She chuckled and said, "Xiaoxue, you're recovering very well. If things continue like this, after two or three more checkups to make sure there are no problems, you'll be able to return to a normal life."

"real?"

Chen Xue's eyes lit up.

Body?

unimportant.

What she really cared about was Wang Zi. Chen Xue didn't want to see him. If she recovered, he probably wouldn't come again, and then no one would bother them.

Just as Chen Xue was secretly pleased with herself, Wang Zi's voice rang out again: "Yes, but... before that, I have a suggestion."

"What?"

"Your life is a bit too monotonous right now. It would be best if you could have a hobby. It could be playing, eating, or something else. It depends on your interests."

“…………”

Hobby?

To be honest~

When she heard Wang Zi say he had suggestions, she wasn't in a good mood. She kept thinking, "Why isn't this person leaving yet? Why is he starting to nag again? It's really annoying."

But when she heard it was a hobby, she seemed to realize something.

"novel."

"Um?"

"I like reading novels, so could I write novels?"

"Huh~"

Wang Zi was genuinely unaware that Chen Xue had this hobby, but... it wasn't out of the question, so he immediately nodded: "Of course, as long as you have the idea."

"That's great!"

Chen Xue clapped her hands, glanced at her older brother, and immediately said excitedly, "My brother also writes novels, isn't that a ready-made teacher? Perfect..."

"You write novels?"

"what?"

Chen Xia felt a little embarrassed, as this was supposed to be a secret.

result?

Chen Xue just blurted it out like that.

After much deliberation, Chen Xia didn't hide anything: "I do write novels, but they're not very successful. They're just flops. I'd be no match for being a teacher."

"Don't worry about the grades, as long as you can get Xiaoxue interested, that's fine. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry~"

Chen Xia patted his chest and assured him, "This is my only sister. I will definitely take good care of her. As long as I'm here, I won't let her lose a single hair."

“…………”

Upon hearing this, Wang Zi fell silent.

Perhaps in some ways, Chen Xia is a model older brother.

pity……

Chen Xue is not a model younger sister.

"That's all for now. It's about time, I should go."

"So soon? Aren't you going to have lunch?"

"No!"

Wang Zi waved her hand and declined, "I have other places to go later, so I won't stay for dinner. Anyway... see you next week."

"Alright, Dr. Azi, take care."

"Hmm~"

Wang Zi nodded and left the residential area.

I left the apartment building.

at the same time……

She also confirmed Chen Xue's condition, which had indeed improved.

My depression is almost completely cured.

Autism?

Well...more or less.

It went from simple, all-around autism to selective social anxiety disorder, and the choice... naturally became Chen Xia, and even the things around him became potential candidates.

From a medical perspective, this is a very good direction.

At this rate, it will last at most half a year.

Chen Xue will be able to fully recover.

But the problem is... the person she chose has an problematic identity, and the feelings are not entirely pure, to the point that it doesn't even need to be judged.

You can tell just by looking at the few hours they spent together this morning.

Half a year?

No, no.

If things continue like this, within two or three months at most, some irreparable mistakes may occur.

Yes!

Chen Xia is quite rational.

But... the important thing isn't how Chen Xia is, but how Chen Xue is doing, okay?

ε=(´ο｀*))) alas

Wang Zi frowned slightly. What was going on?

She is a doctor.

Having fully grasped the current situation, after much hesitation, I still chose to call Wang Xiaoman.

Once~

The call was not connected.

Two times, three times.

at last……

On the fourth try, the call finally connected, and Wang Xiaoman's voice came through: "Azi? What made you think of calling me?"

Today is Sunday.

"Sunday..."

At first, Wang Xiaoman didn't realize what was happening.

Sunday?

What's wrong with Sunday?

Then she remembered.

It was the day for the weekly check-up, and Wang Zi's call must be about Chen Xue. He immediately asked, "How is Xiaoxue? How's her spirits? Is she feeling any better...?"

The series of questions gave Wang Zi a headache.

Finally… she interrupted, “Don’t worry, Xiaoxue is in great spirits and her health has improved a lot. She’s completely different from before.”

"Really? I knew this trick would work."

Is it useful?

It does work, but the effect is a bit too good.

Thinking about the way the two got along, Wang Zi recalled an online meme: What does it mean when your bride price is attacking your dowry?

Hearing Wang Xiaoman's excited voice, after much hesitation, she finally spoke up: "Xiaoxue is great in every way, it's just... it's just..."

"That is what?"

"At once……"

Really!

At this moment, Wang Zi was truly conflicted, on the one hand, regarding Chen Xue's mental health.

If the treatment is interrupted, she might instantly revert to her former self. You know... according to Chen Xia, Chen Xue had already considered suicide not long ago.

But if we don't say anything, things will continue to develop this way.

What if something really happens?

Everything is over.

The situation may even be more serious than the former.

life.

Morality.

In the end, Wang Zi chose the latter, after all, she had to be responsible not only for Chen Xue, but also for Chen Xia... She took several deep breaths, forcibly calming herself down.

She composed herself and began slowly, "I have something to tell you. You might not be able to accept it, but you must stay calm..."

"!!!"

In short~

Wang Xiaoman's expression changed.

No?

What does this mean?

He immediately asked anxiously, "What happened? Tell me!"

Say~

Go ahead and say it.

Try to be as tactful as possible.

Wang Zi gritted her teeth, then said seriously, "I went there today, and I noticed... Xiaoxue and Chen Xia looked a little strange..."

"strangeness?"

"It's...it's...how should I put it? It doesn't seem like...it doesn't seem like..."

At this moment~

Wang Zi felt as if something was stuck in her throat, even though she had already thought of the appropriate adjective.

But when it comes to actually saying it...

But she couldn't say it.

Just as she was struggling, conflicted, and unsure how to continue, Wang Xiaoman's voice came through: "You...you figured it out?"

"????"

and many more!

In short~

Wang Zi was stunned.

What does it mean to "you noticed"?

At that moment, a bizarre idea popped into her mind, perhaps hard to accept, but now... it was the only possibility.

In an instant~

Wang Zi's body began to tremble, her voice trembling... She forced herself to speak, "You...you know?"

"I've always known this... this matter is a bit inappropriate, please don't tell anyone."

"!!!"

In an instant~

Wang Zi's head felt like it had exploded.

Could it be...? Could it be...?

The moment I understood, all my previous entanglement, hesitation, and restraint vanished.

They all disappeared.

All that remained was the most basic emotion—anger.

He immediately questioned, "Wang Xiaoman!!! Do you know what you're doing? This is a distortion of morality, a loss of conscience, and irresponsibility towards Chen Xia!"

Wang Xiaoman felt a little guilty: "I... I didn't mean to hide it from him. What if he can't accept it if he finds out that the grandfather who loves him the most isn't his biological grandfather?"

"He... um? Wait... what did you say?"

In an instant~

Wang Zi's mind went blank.

wait wait wait.

Not right.

Not right.

I gathered a lot of information today, and my brain is having a hard time processing it all.

Chen Xia?

He wasn't my biological grandfather.

At that moment, she seemed... as if... to understand something.

"Is the second son, Chen Xingjia, not the old man's biological son?"

"Otherwise what? Didn't you say those things before because you noticed that Chen Xue and Chen Xia didn't look alike? They're not related by blood at all, how could they possibly look alike?"

Is that true?

Correct!

That's it.

Wang Ziqian chuckled, "Well... I knew it! Why don't cousins ​​look alike at all? Now I know why. Let me tell you, when I saw them, I was terrified. You know I studied genetics, and I thought... tsk tsk tsk."

"Don't overthink it. My sister-in-law is a decent person. By the way, how is Xiaoxue doing over there?"

"Good!"

Wang Zi nodded repeatedly: "I must say... Chen Xia is a really good kid. He's not only considerate, but he also always thinks of his sister and takes excellent care of her. I feel at ease leaving her in his care..."

"That's right, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare let Xiaoxue go over, and then..."

"Then……"

Then... the two talked for a while longer.

Soon~

Four or five minutes passed, and during this casual conversation, Wang Zi added some crucial information: only a small number of people knew about this matter.

The two elderly people definitely know, and the eldest son and his wife know.

I don't know about the second, third, and fourth sons.

The problem is coming.

Does Chen Xue know?

Considering Chen Xia's statement, "My sister isn't a pervert," the answer becomes obvious: Chen Xue should know the answer.

At this moment~

All the dark clouds have disappeared.

Good!

If there is a blood relationship, that is immoral, that is taboo, and that is definitely not acceptable.

result?

The two are not related by blood, which solves all the problems.

The most important point is naturally Chen Xue's recovery. Chen Xia is the cornerstone at this time; without him, everything might return to the way it was before.

It could even be more serious.

Previously, I had considered the comparison between morality and life.

Now?

The moral issues are gone.

All you need to think about is life.

Ah!

Good.

Chen Xia is a good kid, so it's not impossible for things to continue like this.

I!

Wang Zi.

I agree to the marriage.
