CH 24

Yu Man turned her head, and the source of the voice was a tall, good-looking girl, young, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

She was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously opened her mouth to ask, “Who are you?”

The other party was obviously a little surprised to see Yu Man, and almost at the same time asked back: “This is…”

Yu Man smiled to hide her embarrassment.

As if she knew Qin Yuan very well, she still questioned her.

The girl looked at the indifferent person on the hospital bed, and said with a smile, “Oh, I’m his older sister.”

Qin Yuan looked at her when he heard the words, “Lu Zhitong, don’t you want to be ashamed, who is your younger brother?” There was contempt in his tone, and his face was also very ugly.

The girl named Lu Zhitong didn’t care, walked over and threw a plastic bag of snacks on his bed, then calmly stretched out her hand, pointed at Qin Yuan, her voice was as clear as a silver bell——

“You.”

Qin Yuan’s eyebrows were drawn into a line, and he sneered silently.

Yu Man was confused, and stood aside a little helplessly, until Lu Zhitong patted her on the shoulder, and said familiarly: “Are you Qin Yuan’s classmate?”

Yu Man thought for a while, then secretly glanced at Qin Yuan, seeing that he didn’t care about anything but looking out the window, so she nodded.

“Yes.” When she said this, she suddenly straightened her back, as if announcing her unique identity, and jumped for joy.

Lu Zhitong dragged out the tone, “Oh—” the ending sound rose slightly, which sounded ambiguous, “It turns out that our family, Qin Yuan, has a female classmate.”

Qin Yuan stared at her coldly, “Crazy.”

Lu Zhitong stared back at him, “Shut up, you’re still going to the hospital twice a month.”

Yu Man watched this strange pair of siblings quarreling, and felt as if she was slowly, slowly approaching Qin Yuan, the more real him.

“I’m leaving the hospital.” The boy glanced at his arm and said.

“Do you know if you’ve been injured for 100 days?” Lu Zhitong hated iron for steel, and slammed the railing at the end of the bed, “The doctor said, you’re still injured in the old place this time, and you’ve already suffered a second fracture. Never mind being discharged from the hospital, don’t you want this arm? Fighting and fighting every day, you can’t be less worrying? Didn’t you see our parents—”

Lu Zhitong was quite calm at first, but the more she talked, she became angrier, wishing she could rush over and pinch Qin Yuan’s ear.

“It’s annoying, can you go out?”

If Qin Yuan could listen to her persuasion, his parents wouldn’t have slammed the door out ten minutes ago in annoyance.

Lu Zhitong said viciously, “Sooner or later you will end like this”, turned around and pulled Yu Man away.

“Stay away from this kid, don’t ruin yourself!” Lu Zhitong said to Yu Man while turning her head to stare at Qin Yuan.

The latter was pulled staggeringly, and was taken out of the ward almost in a daze.

The two got off the elevator and walked all the way to the hospital entrance. Seeing that Lu Zhitong seemed to be in a fit of anger, Yu Man couldn’t say anything, so she could only follow her, and when Lu Zhitong finally stopped and sat down on the bench in the small garden in anger, she asked tentatively, “Are you really siblings?”

Qin Yuan and Lu Zhitong should not be biological.

Yu Man thought so.

Sure enough, Lu Zhitong shrugged and explained: “We are not related by blood. If my brother was so disturbing, I would have beaten him long ago.”

Yu Man burst out laughing, “You’re so funny.”

Lu Zhitong’s first impression of her was very nice, bright and generous, natural and informal, as familiar as her own family.

“By the way, I haven’t asked your name yet.” Lu Zhitong stretched her waist, squinted her eyes to look at the warm sun above her head, and let the halo bloom in the bottom of her eyes, “I only remember how many people Qin Yuan played together with. Male classmates, I have never seen a girl get close to him, how is your relationship?”

“Yu Man,” she replied, then she tilted her head to think, her eyes sparkling, “Actually…” Yu Man wanted to say that Qin Yuan didn’t know her, but hesitated for a moment and didn’t continue.

Lu Zhitong waved his hand, showing a tacit expression, “I understand.” She closed her eyes, leaned back lazily on the chair, and moaned comfortably, “You saw it too, that kid is very stubborn, now Dad Mom is angry and doesn’t want to bother with him, I have to go back to work part-time in two days. So Yu Man, if you have time, help me persuade Qin Yuan?”

Yu Man froze, feeling quite flattered.

“His arm can’t be injured again.” Lu Zhitong slowly opened her eyes, very helpless, “I’m not just being meddlesome, I’m afraid he will be disabled in the future!”

That day, Yu Man chatted with Lu Zhitong for a long time, from Qin Yuan’s childhood fun to the present. Only then did she know that Qin Yuan’s father brought him to Haicheng not long after she left the countryside.

Qin’s father and Lu Zhitong’s mother remarried, and each of them brought up a child, forming a family with a slightly awkward structure today. Lu Zhitong is one and a half years older than Qin Yuan. She is a senior in the city’s key high school with top grades.

In this era, rebellious children always had some secrets in their hearts that they didn’t want to reveal. They were withdrawn, stubborn, and irritable, more or less because of the influence of their parents.

Yu Man was born in a happy family, she will never be able to understand Qin Yuan’s emotions, so she is doomed to be extremely difficult on the road to get close to him.

For the next week, Yu Man went to the hospital full of enthusiasm every day, and then returned home with her head drooping and lifeless. But it doesn’t matter, she is always full of energy, and can bother him, as if she has earned it.

Qin Yuan hated anyone preaching to him, so Yu Man followed his temperament, neither persuading nor nagging, just smiling and buying him food and fruit.

As the saying goes, if you don’t reach out and don’t hit the smiling face, Qin Yuan will be lazy if he yells at her a few times but it doesn’t work.

Yu Man was so happy to run every day, but she also found out during these days that Qin Yuan’s parents were really angry and let go of him, leaving him in the hospital, the deserted ward, if it wasn’t for her chirping, it would be too fucking bleak.

After a few days like this, Qin Yuan finally couldn’t bear it anymore, when Yu Man was sitting beside his bed peeling apples, he sarcastically said——

“Do your parents know that you work as a maid at my place every day?”

Yu Man was humming a little tune at first, and she was in a good mood, but when she heard it suddenly, she felt her face was hot, as if someone had slapped her hard, and she felt ashamed.

These words were too sarcastic, even though Yu Man was wide-eyed, her limbs stiffened for a moment, and the smile she tried to maintain was torn apart.

Qin Yuan stared at her closely, his eyes were sharp, and he was not friendly.

The girl opposite was still holding a fruit knife in her hand, her knuckles were white and her veins were obvious.

In fact, she is very pretty, with willow-leaf eyebrows and peach blossom eyes. When she smiles, she has white teeth and pink lips, and there are shallow pear dimples on her lips.

In short, she is a pleasing girl at a glance.

But for no reason, Qin Yuan disliked her.

Maybe it has something to do with her deliberate trapping.

The boy frowned, but saw her put down the half-peeled apple, and bent her lips into a smile pretending to be relaxed.

“Qin Yuan, do you really not remember me?”

She stared at him so earnestly, as if eager for a long-awaited answer.

Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows.

“Don’t you think this is boring?”
