Jiang Zheng regained consciousness the following afternoon.

He had a neck injury that made it a little difficult for him to speak; if he raised his voice too high, it would easily aggravate the wound.

Not long after he woke up, Cen hope rushed to the ward and gave him a check-up.

If you rest well during this period and eat more foods that nourish your blood and qi, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Jiang Zheng lay on the hospital bed, his lips still pale.

"Manman, you didn't tell your parents, did you?"

The very first thing he asked was this.

Cen hope nodded: "He didn't say."

These past two days, Yu Ping has been calling me via video to ask about Jiang Zheng, and she keeps saying he's busy and his work isn't finished yet.

Although Yu Ping was concerned, she knew the special nature of his work, so she only said a few words and asked her to remind her brother to reply with a video or voice message when she was less busy.

"Brother, you should rest more. The scar on your neck will take some time to heal."

We should at least wait until the scabs have healed before making any decisions.

After hearing her advice, Jiang Zheng gave a slight smile and said, "Mm."

He then asked, "Did I scare you?"

Before he lost consciousness, he managed to stay conscious and told his teammates not to send him there. He knew Cen hope worked at this hospital, and he didn't want his family to worry.

Unexpectedly, this hospital was the closest to the scene of the incident, and his teammates, for safety reasons, immediately sent him there, where they happened to run into Cen hope.

Hearing him say that, Cen hope's eyes welled up with tears, and she recalled seeing him unconscious and unresponsive yesterday.

She said angrily, "Brother, I'm not that cowardly."

She studied medicine not only to treat patients, but also to give her family more confidence.

Jiang Zheng laughed, "Manman has grown up."

When she was little, she would hide behind Yu Ping in fear when she first came home with Yu Ping. Yu Ping asked her to call him "brother," but she didn't dare to.

It wasn't until six months later that she called him "brother" for the first time.

When he was a child, he was mischievous and always followed Jiang Guoliang. Many children would make fun of him for being a child without a mother. He heard it so many times that at first he would get angry and fight with them, but later he became numb to it.

Until Cen hope called him "brother".

After Yu Ping and Jiang Guoliang got married, Cen hope, who was three years younger than him, transferred to the same school.

He's in middle school now, while Cen hope is still in elementary school.

At that time, Cen hope didn't know the way home, so she would follow behind him every day after school.

That day, he went to pick up Cen hope from school as usual, but after waiting for half an hour, he still didn't see her. He was so anxious that he almost called the police.

Finally, after all the students in the primary school had left, she slowly walked out of the teachers' office.

When Yu Ping took her to school in the morning, her two braids, which she had deliberately tied, were messily scattered on both sides of her hair, making her look like she had been in a fight.

The teacher, holding her hand, saw him and knew they were from a blended family. She sighed and said to him, "She got into a fight with a classmate, but when we asked her why, she wouldn't say, and she wouldn't call her parents."

"Luckily, the student was in the wrong, so let's just let it go. When you get back, you should still tell your parents and ask them to come to the school tomorrow."

Cen hope was reluctant to call her parents, but the fight was still quite serious.

Especially since she's usually so well-behaved and obedient, her sudden fight is quite puzzling.

Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth, agreed to his teacher's words, and led the people home.

The two of them didn't speak a word the whole way.

Jiang Zheng was both angry and furious. "How old are you? You've already learned to fight? You're a girl, what if you can't win? I'm in the next school, you should call me to beat someone up! After all, I'm your..."

elder brother.

The last word stuck in Jiang Zheng's throat; he couldn't say it.

He knew that Cen hope didn't want to call him brother.

"Never mind, let's go home."

He looked at her messy hair and thought to himself, "It's a pity I don't know how to braid a girl's hair, otherwise I could have given her a nice hairstyle right now."

That way, when Yu's mother sees this when she gets home, she won't worry.

He turned around and walked forward with his back to her.

Normally, Cen hope would come along.

But not today.

After walking for a while, Jiang Zheng realized something was wrong, so he stopped and went back the way he came.

"Brother Jiang Zheng."

The soft, sweet voice of the little girl calling out to him pitifully instantly extinguished Jiang Zheng's anger.

From a very young age, he longed for a younger sister.

Later, when he actually had a younger sister, he didn't know how to get close to her. This was the first time Cen hope called him "brother".

Cen hope lowered her head, gripping her backpack straps with both hands, and cautiously asked him, "Do you think it's disobedient of me to fight with others?"

He didn't say anything.

Cen hope added, her voice muffled, "That's because someone said bad things about you."

He is a boy in the class.

He always saw Jiang Zheng picking her up after school, and the next day he started talking badly about him in class.

She was furious, so she threw a book at him and they started fighting.

Cen hope: "He said you don't have a mother and I don't have a father, that we're two poor little wretches, but that's not true. We both have mothers and fathers, you are my..."

Xiao Cenxi gritted her teeth and repeated it carefully once more.

"You are my brother."

She wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of him.

At that time, Jiang Zheng made up his mind that from now on, they would be real siblings and a family.

The next day, he beat up the elementary school student who had fought with her again.

Although it doesn't sound good if word gets out that a middle school student beats up an elementary school student, so what? It's his fault for bullying his sister.

After the incident escalated, both he and Cen hope were reprimanded when they got home.

When they knelt on the ground together, they looked at each other but were secretly smiling.

Even though they are not related by blood, Cen hope is the younger sister he raised himself.

So much so that later, when he returned from the army, he heard that Cen hope had willingly married Shang Hanzhou in place of Cen Ning in order to raise money for Jiang Guoliang's medical treatment.

He was so angry that he wanted to beat up the Cen family members, but Cen hope stopped him.

She told him that she was truly happy and wanted to marry Shang Hanzhou, and only then did he understand his sister's thoughts.

She likes Shang Hanzhou.

So it wasn't entirely because Cen Jiansheng forced her; it was more of a twist of fate.

When Shang Hanzhou came to Jiangcheng that time, he really couldn't stand anything about him.

Aside from his good looks, he didn't know what his sister liked about him. In any case, he felt that no one in the world was good enough for his sister.

"Brother, you get some rest. I'll bring you dinner."

It's almost time for dinner.

Cen hope's words interrupted his thoughts, and Jiang Zheng nodded in response: "Okay."

He watched Cen hope's departing figure, feeling both gratified and sentimental.

Before we knew it, the youngest sister in the family had grown up to be able to stand on her own two feet. It's just that her husband is someone we really can't like.

The thought that Shang Hanzhou was two years older than him, yet still shamelessly called him "brother" after Cen hope, made Jiang Zheng feel furious.

He's not his brother, why is he being so attentive?
