After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

When Wei Yi and Jiang Wan were kissing in the study room.

Under the same night sky, at 1203 Zhichun East Lane.

Lin Siyan sat on the sofa, her lips pouting so much they could hang clothes on them.

At this moment, Chen Xinyi and Jin Shilin were each lying on opposite ends of the sofa.

Their posture resembled two fish that had been slapped ashore.

The ointment prescribed by the doctor was just applied.

The medical record was placed on the coffee table.

The words "soft tissue contusion" on the cover were particularly glaring under the fluorescent lights.

Lin Siyan picked up the medical record book, glanced at it, and then slammed it back onto the coffee table.

"Just once, just once. And you both ended up in the hospital."

"Not just once."

Kim Se-rin lifted her face from the cushion, raised her right hand and opened it. "It was five times. Once for each of us, then he said it wasn't enough, so we did it again!"

"Sister Shilin, please stop talking." Chen Xinyi waved her hand weakly.

"I'm going to say it!"

Jin Shilin said angrily, "Wasn't this all your fault? And in the end, I was the one who suffered the most! Ouch, my back!"

The overeaten little glutton: "Stop talking, stop talking..."

Listening to their conversation.

Lin Siyan's glare was so sharp it could kill.

"I told you he was a bastard. You wouldn't believe me."

Kim Se-rin's eyes darted around, and she suddenly whispered something to Chen Xin-yi in Korean.

Chen Xinyi listened.

Peach Blossom's eyes lit up, and she replied in Korean.

The two talked back and forth for several rounds, getting more and more excited as they spoke.

Lin Siyan couldn't understand a single word, but she knew it wasn't anything nice. "Can you speak Chinese?"

She somewhat regretted not learning Korean.

I'm also starting to want to learn Chaoshan dialect.

Because of their current small family, Chen Xinyi occasionally discusses things with Jin Shilin in Korean.

She couldn't understand.

Wei Yi often speaks to his older sister in their hometown dialect.

She couldn't understand it either.

Kim Se-rim cleared her throat and switched back to Chinese mode:

"Xinyi, if we had another helper, we might be just right and wouldn't get hurt."

Chen Xinyi understood immediately.

She mentally gave Kim Se-rin a big thumbs up, but verbally she played along perfectly:

"Yeah, yeah, it would be great if there were more people. My back is still sore, and the Heytea team is doing a store visit tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be able to drive."

Lin Siyan could easily understand the unspoken message between her two best friends.

She rolled her eyes, looked down at her financial magazine, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't like him anyway."

Chen Xinyi gently kicked Jin Shilin.

Kim Se-rin's greatest strength, which could also be considered her weakness.

That means saying whatever you want.

She sat up straight, placed a cushion on her lap, looked at Lin Siyan, and spoke directly:

"Siyan, everyone knows what you're planning to do."

She paused, "You filmed that video, trying to make Xinyi hate her brother, but it backfired. You dragged your suitcase out to leave, but Xinyi cried and you stayed. Every night you sat on the sofa, Xinyi leaned on her brother while you looked down and flipped through magazines. When her brother wasn't around, you practically wanted to cling to Xinyi."

Lin Siyan's face changed from off-white to light pink and then to deep red. "I didn't cling to Xinyi!"

"You definitely don't have it." Kim Se-rin nodded seriously, "But the way you look at her, is there any difference between that and she wearing it on her body?"

Lin Siyan was speechless.

Jin Shilin didn't give her a chance to breathe. "But have you ever thought about what the best choice would be if you really wanted to stay with Xinyi forever?"

Lin Siyan was stumped by the question.

She already had a vague answer.

That night, when Chen Xinyi hugged her and cried, the answer was laid bare before her.

Chen Xinyi herself said that her biggest secret is that she enjoys watching her brother with other women.

But it must be her arrangement, her choice.

She said, "Hello, Siyan," and "Good sisters should stay together forever."

How could someone as intelligent as Lin Siyan not understand the subtext of these words?

She just didn't want to admit it; she wanted to drag it out until she couldn't drag it out any longer.

Seeing her cowering like a turtle, Kim Se-rin couldn't bear it anymore.

"Siyan, if you truly love Chen Xinyi, then you should help her."

Lin Siyan, who had been looking down, looked up and retorted, "I've already done everything I can to help her!"

"That's just related to work and studies!"

Jin Shilin placed the cushion aside and leaned forward slightly. "She needs your help in every sense of the word. Not just managing her finances and the coffee shop, but in other areas as well. She needs someone to help her out right now, someone who can share the burden in certain situations you understand. Will you help?"

Lin Siyan bit her lip, unable to utter a single word.

Kim Se-rin was too blunt.

Even Chen Xinyi frowned slightly at the sight.

She took the cushion from Jin Shilin's hand, stood up, walked to Lin Siyan's side and sat down, reaching out to tuck a strand of Lin Siyan's hair that was falling across her cheek behind her ear.

The movements were slow and gentle, like stroking a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Sister Shilin is straightforward, don't take it to heart. No one is forcing you, and there's no deadline. You can get along with this family however you want. If you think managing the finances, preparing reports, and helping me run the coffee shop is enough, then that's enough. If you feel that's not enough and want to go further, my door is always open."

Lin Siyan looked up at her, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible. "Xinyi, I..."

You don't need to answer now. Not answering is also an answer.

Chen Xinyi patted the back of her hand. "Anyway, no matter what you choose, that room in the house will be reserved for you. We agreed on that, and you agreed to it yourself. Now I'm just asking you, are you planning to leave us in the future?"

"I don't."

"Isn't that settled then?" Chen Xinyi stood up, winked at Jin Shilin, and said, "Shilin, you were too harsh just now. You're punished by sleeping on the sofa tonight."

Kim Se-rin immediately protested, "Why?! I was telling the truth! And you were clearly supporting me just now, so you should be punished along with me!"

"I am wounded. Wounded persons have immunity."

"I'm wounded too! I'm even more badly injured than you!!"

Watching the two bicker, Lin Siyan felt the lump in her throat slowly dissipate, turning into a soft sigh. "I'll go get you some hot compresses. The doctor said hot compresses can reduce swelling."

She stood up and walked towards the kitchen, pausing as she passed Kim Se-rin. "Se-rin, unnie."

"Um?"

"Teach me Korean when you have time."

Kim Se-rin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

It was past 10 p.m.

After taking a shower and changing into their pajamas, the three of them sprawled out on the living room sofa in a chaotic manner.

Before Aunt Zheng left, she cooked a pot of Angelica sinensis and black chicken soup.

Each person drank two bowls, and the bowls are still on the coffee table and haven't been cleaned up.

Chen Xinyi had a face mask on, and a laptop was spread out in front of her with three windows open on the screen at the same time:

The renovation budget for Heytea's new store, the launch plan for Tage next week, and a supply chain contract that I haven't finished reading yet.

Jin Shilin was lying on the other side, also applying a face mask and using her phone to process restocking requests from various Tianbingbing stores.

Lin Siyan sat on a single sofa with a financial magazine on her lap and a glass of warm water in her hand.

She unusually refrained from reconciling accounts or preparing reports, and simply watched the other two people quietly.

"Sister Shilin, come and take a look at this," Chen Xinyi said.

Jin Shilin peeled the face mask off and leaned closer to look at Chen Xinyi's computer screen. "Ice-Cold Lemons supplier is raising prices next month?"

"The price has increased by eight percent. The reason given is that Hainan Province experienced many typhoons this year, leading to a reduction in lemon production."

Chen Xinyi turned the screen around to show her, "Call them tomorrow and try to negotiate. Tell them that if the price increases by more than 5%, we'll switch suppliers. Hainan lemons are indeed of good quality, but not good enough to justify an 8% premium."

"Okay, I'll talk to her tomorrow." Jin Shilin made a note of it and was about to sit back down when she caught a glimpse of Chen Xinyi switching to another window.

That's WeChat.

Chen Xinyi was chatting with two or three people at the same time, switching between chat windows very quickly.

Kim Se-rin recognized one of the faces.

She is a very young female gynecologist at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

She got a urinary tract infection from holding her urine last time, and this was the doctor she consulted.

Jin Shilin casually asked, "What did you ask Dr. Zhang? Was it about the ointment?"

"Hmm, just asking." Chen Xinyi minimized the WeChat interface, her tone casual.

Jin Shilin didn't think much of it and continued to look down at the restocking data.

She remembered that the gynecologist at Peking Union Medical College Hospital was quite young, wore frameless glasses, and spoke softly, but her examination techniques were very professional.

She is quite well-known in the Department of Gynecology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and many people specifically queue up for her appointment.

The reason why Kim Se-rin could remember her so clearly.

It's because she's also exceptionally beautiful!
