Shi Guang had been spending less time at the hospital for the past couple of days. Mo Ziying’s husband had brought her male cousin over—he had gotten himself into G University of the provincial city, and Shi Guang’s school was about to start once more.
Together with her husband, Mo Ziying took care of grandma and had Shi Guang head to school to report first.
“Shi Guang, I heard from grandma and my dad that you’re about to get married? What sort of a person is my future cousin in law?” Her cousin—Su Ze—asked chirpily.
Unable to give him a proper reply, Shi Guang avoided the topic and hummed around it for a little before finding an excuse to leave.
What should she do? Even her uncle knew about it now!
This entire issue was growing larger and larger just like a rolling snowball.
After leaving the hospital, Shi Guang headed over to her sister’s nursing home.
Once school reopened, she would be kept busy with many things. Coupled with the fact that she would need to start preparing for the preliminary heats soon, there was going to be a long period of time from now where she might not be able to come visit her sister anymore.
As she gave her sister a wipe down, she spoke gently by the side, “Should I get married… or not? I had initially thought that once school reopened, I would not have any connections with Lu Yanchen anymore. But grandma… Actually, if it were anyone else, even if it were someone I didn’t, I guess I would most probably get married for grandma’s sake. Anyway, it’s just a fake marriage, after which we’ll just live each of our lives on our own. But, of all people, it had to be Lu Yanchen… Because of that, I’m so much against it even if it’s fake…”
“Sis, I really don’t want to get married. That’s because I know that even though it’s been two years, my love for him has yet to… disappear completely. But, if I don’t get married, grandma will definitely know about it! I don’t think I should be so selfish. Grandma is getting old now, and I’m just afraid…”
She ranted on and on, telling her sister about so many things she had in her heart.
Outside the ward, a faint sound of footsteps drifted through. Shi Guang turned around—a male doctor wearing a white set of robes had entered.
She stood up immediately. “Hello, Doctor Chang!”
Chang Xiaoyang—this was her sister’s new doctor in charge. He was an exceptional doctor who had studied in London. Born with a set of handsome looks, his features bedazzled every single nurse he had come across from head to toe.
For the past few times when Shi Guang had come to visit her sister, she would find nurses huddled into small groups and chit-chatting about him.
“You’re here to visit your sister again,” Chang Xiaoyang’s gaze darted quickly from the patient medical record before landing on Shi Guang. She was dressed in a casual t-shirt and jeans while wearing a pair of white sneakers. Even though she was so plainly dressed, she looked like the refreshing image that spring gave off.
Every single motion and smile of Shi Guang’s was filled with such beauty.
She nodded her head and smiled, “Doctor, has my sister been well?”
“Don’t worry, she has!” Chang Xiaoyang placed the patient medical record down once more. Glancing by the name on the record, he asked casually, “You’re linked by blood with Mo Feifei?”
“We couldn’t be any more linked—we share the same blood from the same father and mother.”
As though he was a little embarrassed, Chang Xiaoyang pushed the spectacles that were hanging on the bridge of his nose.
Shi Guang chuckled out, knowing why he had asked that question, as she explained, “My grandma had two daughters—my mother and my auntie. The two of them wedded together and had gotten pregnant at the same period of time as well. Grandma said that whoever gives birth to a daughter will follow their mother’s surname—Mo. But in the end, both my mum and auntie gave birth to girls! Therefore, my sister is called Mo Feifei and my auntie named her daughter Mo Jin. It was only until me and my other cousin were born that we followed our father’s surnames.”
“Oh, so one of you followed your mother’s surname while the other followed your father’s.” When he heard that, Chang Xiaoyang smiled, “So, that old lady that came to visit your sister the other time… I presume that must be your grandma?”
“Yupps.”
“And that young lady that had come over to visit your sister yesterday, that must be Mo Jin, right?”
“Huh? Mo Jin’s abroad!”
