Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 117 I pity you
"Big brother, you've changed. You weren't like this before. Didn't you used to spoil me the most?"

Qi Yan said expressionlessly, "I was just pitying you, and also pitying myself when I was a child."

Often, only those closest to us know where the knife will stab us most painfully.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan seemed greatly shocked, blinking her eyes in astonishment and speechless.

She always thought that her older brother liked her, otherwise why would he never talk to their parents much when he came back, but talk to her the most?
Was all this just out of pity for her? Qi Yan felt as if a large piece of her heart had been ripped out, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.

"Sisi is the most important person in my world. If you try to do anything to hurt her, I will not let you get away with it."

Seeing Qi Yan's sad expression, Qi Yan felt nothing. In fact, when Qi Yan had just belittled Si Si, she saw a bit of her mother in Qi Yan.

He frowned in disgust. "I'll bring you the train ticket once I get it. Be careful on the road."

Qi Yan came to her senses and shook her head in disbelief.

"Brother, I don't believe it. If you pity me, why do you always bring me back so many study materials? And why are you so concerned about my studies?"

Yes, if he's a pitiful person, you can just buy him something to appease him.

But those reference books were clearly the result of a lot of effort in getting them back.

Qi Yan looked at the clothes she had crumpled, took a step back, and widened the distance between them.

"Qi Yan, face reality. In Mother's heart, neither you nor I can compare to Yan Yan. If you were smart, you should make good use of the Qi family's resources to improve yourself, instead of thinking about how to stay in the Qi family for the rest of your life. You can never replace Yan Yan."

"I have other matters to attend to at the station, so I'll head back now. Take care of yourself."

Qi Yan was at a loss after her secret was exposed. She had traveled more than 1,500 kilometers to get here, and in less than a day, her older brother wanted to send her away.

Qi Yan was in a state of utter confusion; now, the only person who was on her side was gone...

Ji Sisi drove Lin Miao back to the institute. Although they didn't see Little Grey on the grassland today, since they were already there, they dug up some cordyceps on the grassland and brought them back.

Drinking it regularly is also good for your health.

Zhang Shufen used a stick to shoo Bai Xiaoya away.

Bai Xiaoya pouted, looking aggrieved. Her lips were so pouty they looked like they could hang a bucket on them, and her little face was full of resentment.

"Why can Tie Dan go swimming, but I can't!"

"Stop talking nonsense to me, no means no."

Lin Miao and Ji Sisi then noticed that Bai Xiaoya's clothes were soaked through and dripping wet.

It must be because of the hot weather that the kids love to play in the nearby pond to cool off.

"Aunt Sisi, save me!" Bai Xiaoya noticed Ji Sisi and took a few quick steps to hide behind her.

Ji Sisi smiled and gently patted the little girl's head. Her hair was so soft, it felt like touching a doll, and she couldn't bear to put it down.

"Little girl, playing in the water is dangerous. You must be accompanied by an adult. Also, the water in the pool is not clean and you can easily get sick. If you get sick, you will have to get a shot. You can ask Dr. Lin if you don't believe me."

Bai Xiaoya also recognized Lin Miao, but her eyes were timid as she hid tightly behind Ji Sisi.

"Then I won't go anymore."

Bai Xiaoya tugged at Ji Sisi's sleeve, looked up, and asked in a childish voice, "Aunt Sisi, my mom said you're pregnant, is that true?"

The room fell silent; Ji Sisi was stunned by the question.

Her face was utterly bewildered.

"You brat, when did I ever say at home that your Aunt Sisi was pregnant?" Zhang Shufen hurriedly grabbed Bai Xiaoya, explaining anxiously.

"Sisi, I really didn't say that at home. I just heard that Guo Meizi is pregnant, but I didn't mention you."

Ji Sisi shook her head, not taking it to heart.

“Well, you can’t take what a child says seriously.” She continued, following Zhang Shufang’s lead.

If Ji Sisi wasn't mistaken, Zhang Shufang had most likely mentioned Bai Xiaoya when discussing Guo Xiaolan with someone. Bai Xiaoya was still a child and only remembered familiar words; she probably remembered them incorrectly.

Seeing that Ji Sisi didn't think much of it, Zhang Shufang quickly chimed in, "Yes, Guo hasn't washed her clothes for several days. Team Leader Fang has been carrying water to wash them at night, and some people are saying she's pregnant."

Zhang Shufang changed the subject and asked about Lin Miao.

"Dr. Lin, has Guo gone to the clinic for a check-up?"

Lin Miao denied it naturally, "No."

"But I think it's mostly true. Guo has rarely come to the cafeteria for meals these past few days; Team Leader Fang has been taking her home. And also..."

Zhang Shufang pulled the two of them aside and analyzed them one by one, down to how many times Guo Xiaolan had gone out and how many times she had been to the cafeteria that week.

"Sister-in-law Shufen, you're observing too closely..."

Lin Miao was surprised and startled by their insight.

It's a waste of their talents to keep them in the yard; they should all be sent to be reconnaissance soldiers.

"You're all still young, it's normal that you don't understand. When you get to our stage, you'll understand and be able to tell at a glance whether a person is pregnant or not."

Ji Sisi didn't believe it. If it were really that magical, why would she need to count how many times others went out?
After chatting for a while, Ji Sisi couldn't stand Zhang Shufang's occasional scrutinizing gaze. She felt like a piece of pork being picked over at a market, which gave her a strange chill.

He had no choice but to use the excuse of eating to drag Lin Miao straight to the cafeteria.

Just as darkness fell, the door was pounded on loudly, and Lin Miao's anxious voice rang out.

"Sisi".

Ji Sisi went out of the living room to open the door. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lin Miao looked flustered and spoke with a helpless tone, "Qi Yan seems to have disappeared."

"Disappeared without a trace?"

"I don't know. I went back to the clinic for my shift after I finished eating. When I got back to my dormitory after my shift, I didn't see her turn off the lights. I asked Dr. Wu, and he said he hadn't seen her this afternoon."

Ji Sisi remained relatively calm. "Calm down first. Have you told Qi Yan about this?"

“I told him he went to look for me with his men. He told me to wait at the station, but I couldn’t sit still, so I came to find you.”

Lin Miao felt a bitter taste in her mouth, and an overwhelming sense of panic filled her heart. "Sisi, do you think I spoke too harshly and hurt her?"

"Don't worry, come in and sit for a while."

Seeing that Lin Miao was about to cry, Ji Sisi poured her a glass of water. "Drink some water and calm down. Don't be too anxious."

“I had a few words with her last night, and she came to me early this morning and said some strange things. I couldn’t stand it, so I went to find Qi Yan. I thought that since Qi Yan was afraid of her older brother, I thought I would bring Qi Yan out to teach her a lesson.”

"What inexplicable thing did you say that you can't stand?"

Lin Miao was speechless for a moment, then calmed down.

Should she tell Sisi? Will Sisi misunderstand? After all, what Qi Yan said was really outrageous.

"Qi Yan is still stuck on the idea that I like Qi Yan, and she basically means that she wants to match me up with Qi Yan."

But don't worry, I didn't agree, and I seriously refused her. It was precisely because I didn't want to see Qi Yan that I went to the grasslands with you!

Lin Miao looked uncomfortable, as if she were recounting her dark past.

She raised her voice to express her sincerity in the second half of the sentence.

Compared to Lin Miao, Ji Sisi remained calm, knowing that Qi Yan didn't like her.

But she didn't care.

"Don't worry, she'll come back on her own."
