Ye Qian looked at me seriously.
I was stunned. âWhatâs wrong?â
Ye Qian wanted to say something but hesitated.
My heart thumped. âYe Qian, is something wrong with cousin Moâs body? Donât hide it from me. I havenât even had the chance to rejoice when I saw him. Quickly tell me!â
Ye Qian looked up at me. Just as she was about to speak, the bedroom door opened, and cousin Moâs wheelchair drove in.
Ye Qian immediately stood up and walked over. âYouâre awake? Why didnât you sleep more?â
âCousin Mo!â I rushed over and sized him up from head to toe.
Cousin Mo looked up at me with the familiar faint smile on his lips.
I reached out to hold his hand and half-knelt beside his wheelchair. âCousin Mo, whatâs wrong with your legs? Whatâs wrong with your body?â
Instead of asking Ye Qian who was stuttering, I might as well ask cousin Mo directly!
Cousin Mo glanced at Ye Qian casually.
Ye Qian lowered her eyes.
âMy leg was injured in an accident. I can stand up but itâs very tiring. But this is a consequence I accept for mixing in the underworld. Itâs not a big deal. My luck isnât good. Look at Jing Tian and Gu Nian. Theyâre fine. In any case, the Tong Family still has our little uncle, so itâs fine!â Cousin Mo shrugged.
âIs it a bone injury or a nerve injury? My teacher is a very good surgeon. Iâll let him take a look at you! Are there any other parts of your body that are uncomfortable?â I asked with concern.
Cousin Mo frowned. âWhy are you so naggy at such a young age? Who did you learn it from? Uncle didnât teach you well!â
I pouted and glared at him. âHow am I naggy? Iâm just concerned about you! Why are you so difficult to talk to? I have a good doctor to introduce you to. No matter what illness you have, heâll be able to treat you!â
âAm I a guinea pig?â He glared at me.
I glared at him angrily.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched my face. âWhy are you still so silly?â
He smiled. This time, it was a smile that was completely unfurled. It was as dazzling as the sunlight that suddenly shone into the darkness.
âIâm fine. Donât worry. Sitting in a wheelchair wonât affect me. A truly successful man relies on his brain. Only a simple-minded person like little uncle will have to rely on brute force.â There was a hint of a smile in his voice.
He reached out to pull Ye Qian over.
âYou two are old acquaintances, so thereâs no need for me to introduce you. She said that you donât like her. In the future, can you please get along with her for me? Sheâs been by my side and taking care of me for the past few years. Itâs rare to have such a good woman who doesnât mind my conditions. Donât make things difficult for her!â Cousin Mo resumed his snarky tone.
I glared at him and stood up. I raised my chin at Ye Qian. âSince youâre good to my cousin, I wonât bully you. But you have to be good to me too. Otherwise, Iâll sow discord between the two of you and make my cousin ignore you!â
Cousin Mo smacked my hand lightly.
I jumped to the side and complained, âIt hurts! Cousin, now that you have someone you like, you donât care about your blood cousin anymore? Fine! Iâm going to bully her when youâre not looking!â
I rolled my eyes at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian smiled and looked at me with a gentle and doting gaze. That dream of hers had probably become a demon in her heart.
Laughing with my cousin made me feel like a little child again. In my messy memories, cousin Mo and cousin Zhuo were still childish and pure.
I had always longed for their accompaniment to fill the hole in my heart.
