Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Desire (Extra)_1
“Mom, I understand now. I’ll work very hard. Don’t worry, I won’t be like before.” She was too embarrassed to even mention how she was before.
Apart from studying well, everything else wasn’t so good.
She never considered the hardships her parents were facing and only complained about the poor living conditions at home.
“Alright! Let’s not talk about unhappy things.” Zhang Fengmei gently wiped her face with a towel and said with a smile, “Your little brother will be discharged from the hospital today. Zhuanzhuan is in his room! Would you like to see her?”
“Sure!” Nan Fei nodded.
Zhang Fengmei took care of Nan Fei, bathed her, and changed her clothes before going to the room next door. When she entered, Zhuanzhuan was teaching Jiang Yang from a primary school Math textbook.
However, the young boy was absent-minded and didn’t seem to absorb anything his older sister said.
“Jiang Yang.” Zhuanzhuan called out.
Jiang Yang snapped back to reality, his clear eyes appearing puzzled as he looked at her.
“Are you listening at all?”
Jiang Yang shook his head.
“School is about to start. If you don’t buckle down and study, you’ll be held back again.” Until now, her little brother was still in primary school, and had been held back since first grade. Even the teachers had suggested he drop out.
Jiang Yang shook his head and then nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he saw his mother walking in from outside and looked up at her excitedly, “Mom, where is sister Nan Fei?”
“Are you calling sister Nan Fei?” Zhang Fengmei looked at her son in surprise and joyfully ruffled his hair. “That’s great! You’ve learned to call her sister. You’re so clever.”
Zhuanzhuan asked, “Mom, isn’t it normal for my brother to call me ‘sister’?”
“How is that normal? Other than mom and dad, and grandma and grandpa, he never calls out to anyone else. Have you ever heard him call out to you?”
Zhuanzhuan lowered her eyes, a shadow crossing her face.
“Your sister asked you to go over to her. She’s having her drips now, and you should be there with her to look after her.”
Zhuanzhuan stood up and went to the door of the neighbouring ward. She hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door.
“Sis.” Zhuanzhuan pushed the door open, looked at Nan Fei who was lying weak and pale on the bed, and asked with a smile, “How are you doing? Are you feeling better?”
“I’m fine! I feel like I can be discharged today.” Nan Fei beckoned Zhuanzhuan. “Come here, why are you standing there?”
Zhuanzhuan lowered her head and walked over to the bedside. “Sis, you can ask me anything you want!” She had already prepared herself for any questions.
If it were the Nan Fei from before the summer vacation, she would not have asked. But ever since the vacation, Nan Fei had changed. She became more likeable, yet more formidable.
She was able to abruptly sever her affection for Qiao Jingxuan, burn his letter without a second thought, and insist on getting to the bottom of her brother’s near-drowning incident.
Nan Fei hesitated for a while before speaking kindly, “Zhuanzhuan, have you forgotten my instructions? You did forget, right?”
In the past life, after the death of her brother and parents, she placed all her love and affection on Zhuanzhuan. She was not disappointed, as Zhuanzhuan got into the best university, had excellent character, and was the pride of the Jiang family.
When she announced her divorce with Huo Beijiang, she started to notice that her brother’s death was not as simple as it seemed. This realization shattered all her beliefs of the past ten years.
All clues pointed towards the most unlikely person.
Unfortunately, she died before she could get to the bottom of it.
In this life, her brother still fell into the river with Zhuanzhuan.
She couldn’t help but overthink.
