My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!

When Gong Bolin arrived at the ward, the first thing he saw was the three of them sleeping in each other's arms.

Jiang Ting curled up into a small ball, hugging Jiang Guanqing's arm. Jiang Ning went even further, casually draping one hand over Jiang Guanqing's waist and draping her legs over him, her mouth slightly open, fast asleep.

Gong Bolin stood there, a sour feeling welling up inside him.

Why?! Why are these little brats allowed to sleep with the baby?

Considering Jiang Guanqing's psychological issues, Jiang Yan arranged for someone to sleep with Jiang Guanqing every night at home, excluding him and Bai Xin.

Gong Bolin took a deep breath, his back teeth almost grinding to powder from jealousy. What should he do? He wanted to kick those two little brats off the bed.

Believing that it's better to be united than to be alone, Gong Bolin took out his phone and snapped a picture of the three people on the bed.

I wanted to send it directly to Bai Xin, but when I looked down at the screen, Jiang Guanqing looked so adorable.

Without hesitation, Gong Bolin pulled out a cartoon sticker from his photo album and covered Jiang Guanqing's face completely before sending the photo to Bai Xin.

Bai Xin: naive

Gong Bolin: Fine, fine, you're so high and mighty. You can't even get into the baby's room at night.

When Bai Xin saw Gong Bolin's message, his finger hovered over the top of the screen, unable to type a single word for a long time. Finally, he got so angry that he turned off his phone.

Damn it, if it weren't for freeing up the next few days to be by President Jiang's side, would he have stayed at the company day and night these past few days?

Bai Xin took a deep breath and continued working. Considering how hard he was working, it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask the boss for a reward.

Two days passed quickly, and the surgery was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning. Jiang Guanqing had started fasting the night before.

Before dawn, the ward was already quietly packed with people. Jiang Zhuo had been working non-stop to meet the filming schedule for the past two days, and rushed over after finishing last night's night shoot. Jiang Huai had taken leave from the club, and Gong Bolin and Bai Xin also arrived early in the morning.

Jiang Guanqing was woken up by Jiang Yan. Director Liu and a nurse came to perform basic preoperative checks on him.

After the examination, Jiang Guanqing leaned against the headboard, unconsciously rubbing his wrist bones.

He was a little scared, even though he had undergone many surgeries before.

Jiang Guanqing's gaze swept over Jiang Yan and the others, finally settling on Bai Xin. Before his surgery, Bai Xin was the one who waited most often outside the door.

Jiang Guanqing opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. Bai Xin's eyes narrowed, and he took the initiative to hold Jiang Guanqing's somewhat cold hand. "President Jiang, I will always be with you."

Jiang Guanqing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know." She had always known.

Jiang Ting's eyes reddened again as she watched from the side. She rushed over and hugged Jiang Guanqing's waist, burying her face in his chest and nuzzling him. "Big brother, I'll be waiting for you outside too."

Jiang Ning's voice was muffled as she hugged her game console. "Big brother, the chickens we raised together have chicks."

Jiang Guanqing waved to Jiang Ning, and when they came closer, he stroked his younger brother's fluffy head and said with a smile, "Chickens are oviparous animals."

Jiang Ning was taken aback. "But games are born from the womb, right?"

Jiang Ning realized what was happening, her ears turning red. "I'm going to report this game."

Jiang Zhuo leaned against the wall, not pushing forward. His eyes were dark and swollen. "Big brother, a movie I starred in last year is about to be released. I want to go to the cinema with you to watch it."

Jiang Guanqing nodded vigorously, "Okay."

Jiang Huai finally stepped forward and handed over a ticket. "Brother, this is a ticket to the World Championship. I'd like you to cheer me on from the stands."

Jiang Guanqing took the ticket, ran his fingertips over it a couple of times, and carefully put it away. "Of course, Big Brother will go."

Gong Bolin's fingers, hanging by his side, curled slightly. His voice was hoarse. "Baby, the lavender along the Danube will be in full bloom in a while. I want to go see it with you."

Jiang Guanqing remembered the diary Gong Bolin had given him, "Okay."

"Big brother."

After everyone had finished talking to their older brother, Jiang Yan stepped forward and gently straightened the collar of his hospital gown. "Brother, I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

Jiang Guanqing grasped Jiang Yan's trembling hand. "Yes, we will."

Just then, a nurse pushed in a transfer bed, her voice gentle, "Mr. Jiang, are you ready?"

Jiang Guanqing nodded and was helped onto the transfer bed. Jiang Ning suddenly picked up the sunflower on the windowsill and brought it close to Jiang Guanqing. "Big brother, it's waiting for you to water it."

Jiang Yan walked to the side of the transfer bed, took Jiang Guanqing's hand, and said, "Big brother, don't be afraid, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

Jiang Guanqing lay on his back, watching the lights on the ceiling rushing past, and suddenly whispered, "I'm not afraid."

Jiang Yan paused, said nothing, and tightened her grip on Jiang Guanqing's hand.

The corridor was long, and the group followed in silence. When they reached the operating room door, they were stopped outside.

Before Jiang Guanqing was pushed inside, he suddenly turned his head to look outside the door, his gaze sweeping over each person's face from left to right.

The fear and unease, like the receding tide, slowly receded from his heart. Jiang Guanqing suddenly felt that he wasn't so afraid anymore.

The door closed slowly, and the sign above the operating room door flashed once, changing to "Operation in Progress".

Jiang Guanqing lay on his back under the operating light, his eyes closed.

Wait for him to go back.

Something cold touched my arm, followed by a slight stinging pain. My consciousness was like a cocoon being unraveled, being peeled away layer by layer.

Jiang Guanqing seemed to have arrived at a hillside full of dandelions.

"Big brother."

He heard his younger brothers' voices behind him. Jiang Guanqing turned around and saw his five younger brothers standing in a row behind him. Jiang Ning was holding a pot of dwarf sunflowers in his arms, the golden flower heads tilted back, facing him.

"Big brother, it's time to go home." Jiang Yan reached out his hand to him.

Jiang Guanqing wanted to walk over, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot. The hillside began to tilt, and he fell backward, feeling a sense of weightlessness overwhelming his entire body.

Di-

A sharp, mechanical sound exploded in his mind, and a tremendous force slammed into his chest, sending a chill down his spine.

The past scenes were like shattered mirrors, scattering piece by piece. Jiang Guanqing reached out to grab them, but his fingers pierced through the cold void, unable to grasp anything.
