Chapter 213: So strange! Take another look.
Saki Jingūji was thunderstruck when she heard this news.
Her first reaction was to feel wronged.
Shouldn’t it be me who joins this family?
Her second reaction was jealousy.
Which wild woman stole my position as the First Lady of the Imperial Decree?
Her third reaction was anger.
No one, whoever it is, can make me wear the green hat!
Yagyū Simozi shouldn’t have believed Jingūji’s loud exclamation; her level of shock was clearly exaggerated.
What wild woman? She’s clearly a poor girl with a tragic background; perhaps she triggered sympathy in her brother.
But it’s also her fault for not having had the chance to explain clearly; she only briefly mentioned the need for more family members at home, which left her feeling depressed and anxious.
"Elbow!"
Jingūji grabbed Yagyū Simozi’s sleeve, a mix of sadness and anger on her face. "I’ll take you to find him and demand an explanation!"
Seeing her best friend’s excited expression, the younger sister felt touched for a moment.
Then she held Jingūji’s shoulder and said with a forced smile, "Sit down."
Why are you so worked up, as if you’re the one who suffered a loss?
Saki Jingūji obediently sat down, her excessive reaction seeming to expose certain ambitious intentions.
Under the scrutiny of her best friend, she nervously tidied her hair.
"I’m a little indignant on your behalf."
"Well, then I really appreciate it." Yagyū Simozi had been guarding against fire, theft, and her best friend for five or six years; she knew Jingūji’s character well. Jingūji wasn’t a cat, but a dog.
Cats and dogs come in pairs, and it’s always the dog that yields to the cat.
Yagyū Simozi was that cat. She propped her chin up and said, "I’m just a younger sister, I have no right to stop my brother’s decisions."
Saki Jingūji grumbled, "But you can’t just agree so easily."
"What else can we do if we’re not casual about it?" Yagyū Simozi said. "Even if I don’t agree, it won’t lead to a good result. My brother will definitely move out."
"Does he have money?"
With my older brother’s ability, can’t he make money?
Yagyū Simozi furrowed her brows. "I’m afraid our older brother won’t need to spend money. Hokusinn Kichyō will rush over at the first opportunity. She will definitely take advantage of the situation and invite my brother to bring that girl to live at Hokusinn’s house. With the financial resources of the Hokusinn family, they can take good care of that girl. In doing so, our older brother will owe a favor to the Hokusinn family… And as the younger sister, with my unruliness and toughness, I’ve made our older brother suffer inside and out. Even if he doesn’t blame me, how will others see me? How will I see myself? Won’t I become a scapegoat?"
Saki Jingūji took a breath, feeling a chill. "That seems to be the case."
"So I can’t show any weaknesses," Yagyū Simozi said. She didn’t want to give others a chance to take advantage, and besides, it was already too late. Sharing our older brother with my sister is better than watching him being taken advantage of by other women like a piece of cake."
She continued, "On a logical level, that’s true, but emotionally… I also sympathize with that young girl. She’s alone and shouldn’t have to suffer like this."
Saki Jingūji blinked. "You think about things a lot, don’t you? Are you planning to visit that young girl at the hospital this afternoon?"
"Yes."
"I want to go too."
"What are you going to do?" Yagyū Simozi neither agreed nor disagreed. "Just joining in for fun?"
"Anything will do, let’s just go see," Saki Jingūji raised her eyebrows and smiled mischievously. "After all, you’re the younger sister. You have no right to interfere with whatever decision your brother makes… Right?"
Veins popped on Yagyū Simozi’s forehead. "I can say those things, but you cannot."
Immediately, Yagyū Simozi pinched Jingūji’s waist and twisted it.
"Ah!"
Many people looked towards the back row of the classroom.
Where did that groundhog-like sound come from?
After class, they didn’t bother having lunch. After all, the cafeteria at Far East University always had mediocre food. Most students preferred to eat out.
Yun Wuxin and Xue Hanlei arrived at the bus stop, waiting for the arrival of the bus. They skillfully swiped their cards and got on the bus. They were already familiar with this route.
Just as they had gotten on the bus, Yagyū Simozi and Saki Jingūji followed suit and boarded as well.
Yun Wuxin had some impression of Yagyū Simozi and Saki Jingūji, but it wasn’t particularly deep.
She had seen Yagyū Simozi at a public lecture before and remembered that this girl spoke The Ming Country language very fluently. When she got into conflicts with people, she would even curse in the dialect of Jinling.
But she had a deep impression of Saki Jingūji, purely because… her figure was too stunning. It was the kind that both girls and boys would find hard to forget. The contradicting adjectives of voluptuous and slender somehow perfectly described her without any contradiction.
It is rare for immortals to have such a physique. Most immortals’ bodies will completely settle around the age of twenty. Some unlucky immortals spend most of their lives trapped in childlike bodies, and can only regain their maturity through special secret techniques of reverting to youth… But just like Digimon, it is temporary.
Fortunately, immortals don’t get married. If they did, encountering these young girl-like loli grannies, the husbands really don’t know how to handle taking them out.
Yun Wuxin’s figure tends to be slim, with no lack of curves, but destined to not have a parabolic curve, only an exponential one.
Xue Hanlei is relatively better off. Although she can’t compare to Jingūji, she doesn’t look as shabby as the others.
Because she padded!
On the bus, the four girls sat in the back row, just a few meters apart.
Yagyū Simozi also recognized Yun Wuxin. The Ming Country’s immortals are very rare in Yingzhou, and she remembered Yun Wuxin’s face… it was strikingly similar to Yun Chuyou, but she knew they were not the same person. She didn’t react much, just kept a cold expression throughout the journey.
"We’ve arrived." Xue Hanlei said.
The four of them stood up together and walked to the exit door of the bus.
After getting off the bus, the four of them walked towards the direction of the hospital, two in the front and two in the back.
"?" Saki Jingūji glanced at them in surprise and wondered if they were also going to the hospital?
"Maybe they’re here for a medical check-up." Xue Hanlei also found it coincidental and whispered to Yun Wuxin.
Then they walked into the hospital gate and simultaneously bypassed the reception counter.
They exchanged glances, eight eyes meeting, "?"
Immediately after, they walked through the central courtyard and entered the same building.
They exchanged glances again, eight eyes meeting, "??"
And then, they waited for the elevator, the atmosphere becoming somewhat tense, even a bit awkward.
Jingūji’s toe was already exerting hidden force, and Xue Hanlei had some unfavorable speculations, but neither of them voiced it, thinking it was unlikely to be so absurd. Although Yingzhou is small, it’s still bigger than Ningbo, right?
Ding~ The elevator arrived. Yagyū Simozi and Yun Wuxin entered the elevator one after the other, simultaneously extending their fingers to press the number five. As a result, their rigid fingers stopped unconsciously, and their gazes collided once again.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent, "?!"
The elevator doors slowly closed, and the height slowly rose. Within the narrow space, a quiet and suppressed breathing sound could be heard.
Saki Jingūji and Xue Hanlei exchanged a glance with each other.
… What’s going on? Is it really just a coincidence?
… What kind of fate brought this pair of rising phoenix and hidden dragon together, on the same bus!
Ding~ The elevator arrived.
Yun Wuxin and Yagyū Simozi walked out of the ward side by side, their footsteps strangely synchronized, each step tapping on the beats of their heartbeats. Their pace became faster and faster, heading straight to room 5044.
They fully understood that this seemed to be more than just a coincidence, so they immediately pushed open the ward and wanted to find the person involved and get some answers.
The first sentence to ask must be, "Who is she?"
But when they pushed open the ward door, what they saw was a rather heartwarming scene.
Bai Wei lay on the bed, breathing evenly, seemingly in a light sleep. Under the blanket, there were a girl’s legs, and Sakurai Shiru pressed her fingers against the contours of the youth’s ears, gently kneading as if giving a massage.
After hearing the movement, she looked towards the newcomers, and then raised her finger to her lips, signaling for silence.
More than the thought of questioning, this scene shook the barriers of the two girls’ hearts more tangibly and made them experience the shocking impact of their rationality collapsing, their wide eyes filled with "Bai Wei, is Li Zaigan a god or a devil!"
Xue Hanlei, as the only outsider, was also seeing this scene for the first time. Although she had watched many TV dramas, she had never seen a scene like this before. It was even more unbelievable than TVB dramas. Isn’t it strange!
…Take another look.
