Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

However, Su Shi only made a guess to Xiangzi.

Was Xiao Xiang's reason for leaving the band to take care of Xiao Qian Nai?

While seemingly leisurely savoring an apple, Chika's mind was racing with thoughts.

Su Shi's guess seemed to have given Xiangzi a way out.

But upon further reflection, it becomes an obvious trap.

The information Su Shi received from me was that Xiangzi and I had been separated for a long time, not that "Xiangzi had been taking care of me the whole time."

You and Xiangzi didn't have a unified public statement on this matter before.

However, intuitively, Xiangzi didn't care about these things and wouldn't easily fall for such a trick.

Just as another voice in his heart said, Xiangzi chose to remain silent and continued to feed Qianna.

"Sister, have one too."

Chika then used a toothpick to pick up the apple and brought it to Shoko's mouth.

Xiangzi subconsciously leaned back, his usually calm face showing a subtle expression that seemed to reveal his anxiety.

Feeding you in front of Su Shi is already the limit; please stop with the "mutual feeding."

Soon, China moved the apple to Suze.

"Can I have some? Thanks."

Su Shi squatted down, her hands on her knees, so that she could get closer to China, who was sitting at the head of the bed.

Just as Suze was about to take a bite of the apple, China suddenly moved the apple aside, and Suze's cheek involuntarily followed the apple's trajectory.

On the other side was Xiangzi.

And so, almost unintentionally, Su Shi gently bit Xiangzi through the apple.

Xiangzi's pupils widened in surprise, and he immediately took a step back.

"Xiao Qian..."

At that moment, Ai-yin entered the ward.

She saw that moment too.

Chapter 110 My Sister

"Xiao Xiang... I'm sorry."

Su Shi covered her mouth and immediately turned back.

She didn't do it on purpose; it was just that China mischievously moved the apple to Shoko's side, and when Sose was about to bite into it, her face instinctively followed.

However, this did not cause Su Shi to have any complaints about Qian Nai.

Xiangzi didn't think that way. She glared at Qiannai without saying a word, feeling a little regretful for coming to visit her.

Are they going to start seizing every opportunity to reconcile my relationship with Su Shi, just like when they brought me and Deng together?

"Xiao Qian..."

The greeting that abruptly ended at the ward door drew the attention of all three people.

Clearly, Aine had witnessed what the three of them had just done at the door.

Xiangzi, who was the first to recover from his unstable emotions, coughed and spoke, thinking that there would be a lot of meaningless conversations and noise in the room with so many people around.

"You all take good care of China first."

Then she walked towards the door and left.

“Sister…” China reached out to Shoko, wanting to get off the hospital bed.

Su Shi hurried after him, calling out in alarm.

"Wait, Xiao Xiang!"

Xiangzi did not stop walking. Her sharp aura made Aiyin at the door involuntarily move to the side.

This feels so familiar...

Aine was still unaware of the whole situation, but a feeling of regret washed over her.

As a result, Su Shi arrived at the door first.

"Step aside."

Xiangzi said calmly to Su Shi, then glanced back at Qian Nai from time to time.

Sure enough, that worrisome guy was again suppressing his sadness on his face.

"Don't get out of bed! Your IV drip isn't finished yet!"

After being stopped, China obediently sat back on the edge of the bed, but her brows were still furrowed.

This expression made Xiangzi feel as if he were entangled by vines, unable to move another step outside the door.

Ever since I met her, I haven't been able to get rid of her...

The lamp once looked at me with the same longing that China has now, as if she wanted me to stay.

But suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he avoided the lamp's gaze and brushed past it, and the lamp did nothing more.

But even if China refuses the job offer she gave her for 300,000 yen, she will be forced to accept it by being pinned to the ground.

Now, he failed to take good care of her and got entangled in past entanglements.

I'm really afraid that one day, when Akari spends time with Chinatsu, her actions will become more like Chinatsu's...

"Step aside……"

Turning around, Xiangzi recounted the story again, his voice trembling slightly, unable to bear the thought.

She dared not turn around to see what Chinai's face looked like, but she could feel waves of sadness coming from behind her.

So many people care about you, do you really want me to stay...?

I'm not going to abandon you...

However, I don't want to visit you during this time, but I also have to deal with Su Shi, who takes the opportunity to suggest that I return to the band.

You should at least listen to a few words; don't try to smooth things over just because someone's not getting along...

Xiangzi didn't want to dwell on it any longer. Considering that leaving might lead to bad things, he had to come up with a plan:

I'm going to buy some daily necessities for China. You guys chat with China for a bit first; I need to talk to her alone when I get back.

This way, they can go downstairs and leave Su Shi temporarily, while also allowing Aine and Su Shi to visit China. After returning, Aine can have a private chat with China as her "older sister," allowing the other two to leave the ward and preventing China from feeling abandoned.

She didn't want to dwell on these troublesome details; instead, she wanted to focus her mind on planning and recruiting others.

That's all we can say for now.

However, before Xiangzi could speak, Su Shixian left through the doorway.

"Xiao Xiang, wait a minute..."

Given the current situation, it would be unwise to block Xiangzi from demanding the band's explanation; a concession is necessary.

But it doesn't necessarily have to be Xiangzi leaving while he stays.

Su Shi took Aine's arm and led her back a step.

Just as Aine was wondering, Su Shi continued with her expedient measure, smiling with a slightly bitter expression.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed your time alone."

Then, Su Shi made the same request to Aine:

"I didn't expect Ai-yin to come to see Chi-na too, but let's reserve the visiting time for them."

After much deliberation, Aine decided to visit China, but they barely exchanged a few words, leaving her feeling somewhat disappointed.

However, since she was not clear about the situation, she quickly nodded in agreement and then waved to China with a smile.

"Listen to your sister and the doctor, okay?"

"Hmm..." China's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she nodded blankly, watching Su Shi and Aine leave.

She didn't insist that all three of them stay with her, but she was a little worried when she saw Xiangzi and Su Shi about to have an emotional outburst.

If we were to discuss another point...

That is because Su Shi and Aine usually take care of her a lot, so it was rare and unexpected for China to see Xiangzi take the initiative to come to the hospital to show her concern.

They wanted Xiangzi to stay by their side for a longer time.

……

At the same time, after China finished her IV drip, the nurse pushed a small cart over.

"Are you her...sister?" The nurse was surprised by the almost identical appearance of the two.

Answering "no" now would only unnecessarily arouse suspicion from outsiders, so Xiangzi had no choice but to give a normal answer.

"……Yes."

Prior to this, Xiangzi had never given a direct answer to this question.

Seeing Chizuru's somewhat smug expression, Shoko unconsciously clenched her fists.

When she saw the nurse roll up the sleeve of China's hospital gown to reveal the IV needle in her forearm, her clenched fist immediately relaxed and fell down.

After changing the IV drip, the nurse whispered some instructions to Xiangzi.

"Family members should try to avoid having too many people visit the patient, as a noisy environment is not conducive to the patient's recovery, especially when things get chaotic..."

The nurse walked toward the door, talking as she went, while Xiangzi walked alongside her, listening attentively.

“This floor has fully enclosed wards. Today, there was a patient who seemed to have a lot of discord with her family. Her family members were always arguing, so she voluntarily moved in there.”

"If a quarrel occurs between visitors in the ward, causing the patient to have an emotional breakdown, we will strongly recommend that the patient stay in a fully enclosed room."

Fully enclosed...

The word made Xiangzi uneasy, but she remained calm and politely thanked her.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your care."

Xiangzi placed his hands in front of his lower abdomen, bowed to the nurse, and watched her leave.

Turning back to look at China, who was curiously peeking out, Xiangzi's smile immediately returned. He then stepped forward, took China's hand, and rolled up his sleeve to look at the IV line.

How many days will you need to stay in the hospital?

"That's impossible to say..."

China immediately changed the subject,

"By the way, I think I just heard a nurse talking about a completely enclosed ward where you can't even bring your phone in. I feel like I'd go crazy in there in less than half an hour..."

"I won't let you stay there," Xiangzi said resolutely.

But she was soon surprised to have said those words.

After all, this sounds like something a family member would say.

Chapter 111 About Our Relationship

Just as Xiangzi began to doubt whether his choice of words was appropriate,

China smiled meaningfully, propped herself up on the headboard with one hand, leaned to the side, and crossed her legs. Her blue and white striped hospital gown made this posture even more subtle.

"Does Xiao Xiang mean that he wants to control me to some extent?"

"What are you doing..."

Xiangzi couldn't stand people who looked similar to him posing like that.

For a moment, she feared that one day Chizuru would style her hair like hers and strike the same pose in front of Sose.

Coming to her senses, China simply continued to stare at Shoko with her seductive eyes, offering no further explanation.

It seems to be implying that Xiangzi should have understood the emotions behind his words as soon as he uttered them.

But Xiangzi truly didn't understand himself, nor did he understand why he had so unintentionally and resolutely said, "I won't let you stay there."

After a moment of patience wore thin, Chika sighed softly.
