The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

“It’s not the same, okay…” I retorted.

"It's definitely different. Accepting Xin Ning is actually not a big deal."

Xu Lehan's statement seems to make perfect sense, and the former is clearly more controversial than the latter...

“The boss has been thinking, am I right?” Xu Lehan rubbed the spot on her buttocks where I had hit her, and then hugged me again.

Although that's the logic, I still find it a little hard to accept right now...

"Lehan, why are you speaking up for Xinning...?"

Xu Lehan smiled and said with great anticipation, "Because she's my sister~ I'm really looking forward to having fun with her and the three of us, boss. Boss, you're a guy, you know what I mean, hehehe..." Xu Lehan gave me a knowing look and patted my chest, looking like an old buddy.

Xu Lehan, Hua Xinning, or rather Xu Xinning, this pair of sisters... I was led astray by Xu Lehan. I don't know how many strange and wonderful plots she imagined. As a novelist, she has always had a good imagination.

Just as we were about to take the parking lot elevator upstairs, an unfamiliar local number called.

"Hello, is this Hua the counselor? Xin Ning fainted and was taken to the hospital by ambulance!"

I didn't have time to figure out whose voice it was. I immediately turned around and ran back to the car with Xu Lehan. Although Xu Lehan looked confused, she could tell that I was nervous, so she obediently followed me.

Which hospital did you go to?

"The affiliated hospital!"

I tucked my phone under my shoulder and got into the car, saying, "Why did she suddenly faint?"

“After Hua left our dorm today, Xin Ning has been crying silently. We asked her what happened, but she wouldn’t say. Just now, when we took her to lunch, she was in low spirits the whole way, wouldn’t talk to us, and almost fell because she didn’t even look where she was going. When we got to the cafeteria, she didn’t eat a bite and said she didn’t have an appetite. Then, on the way back, she collapsed on the ground. The ambulance has taken her to the hospital, and I’m in the ambulance.”

I already knew it was her roommate, Fidi's, voice. I told her I would be right back at the hospital and then hung up.

"What happened, boss?" Xu Lehan asked anxiously when she saw that I was worried.

"Xin Ning has collapsed and been taken to the hospital. We need to get there right away."

Xu Lehan was also taken aback and became just as anxious as I was.

……

We rushed to the hospital without even having lunch, heading straight to the ward that Fei Di had sent me. We hurried inside and saw Xin Ning lying unconscious on the bed, with Fei Di watching over her.

"Hua, you're here." Fei Di stood up.

What did the doctor say?

"The doctor said that Xin Ning was already weak due to anemia, and then she didn't eat lunch. Most importantly, she was in a low mood. All these factors combined led to her physical exhaustion and coma. However, she has already started an IV drip, and the doctor said she will wake up in a while."

Xin Ning has had anemia since childhood, and I don't know if it's a lingering effect of a congenital disease from her childhood. But now that it seems to be nothing serious, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Fei Di gratefully, "Fei Di, thank you so much. I'm also sorry to have troubled you and disturbed your afternoon nap... You have classes this afternoon, so you should go back to school first. We can take care of Xin Ning."

"It's okay, it's nothing. Xin Ning is my good friend, and I was worried about her too... I'll head back now."

After Fei Di left, I sat down by the hospital bed and looked at Xin Ning's beautiful face, which was slightly pale but still stunning. I felt a pang of heartache. The reason she was so depressed and even collapsed was because of me.

I couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her face. Seeing her unconscious state, I felt a pang of heartache and guilt.

"It's all my fault, Xin Ning... It's all my fault for making you like this..."

At this moment, Xu Lehan also came over and gently patted my back to comfort me, saying, "Boss, don't blame yourself so much. I understand your difficulties..."

After a pause, Xu Lehan continued, "Boss, why don't you consider what I said? Xin Ning really likes you, otherwise things wouldn't have come to this. Before she knew about her past, you rejected her. After she found out, she had hope again, but you rejected her again. She must be devastated... If you don't back down like this, I'm really worried about Xin Ning..."

I fell silent, but I gripped Xin Ning's hand even tighter...

While waiting for Xin Ning to wake up, the nurse removed the IV. About an hour later, Xin Ning moved her hand, and I quickly grabbed it. She then gradually opened her eyes.

"Xin Ning." I called her name nervously.

Xin Ning slowly came to her senses and looked around at her surroundings.

“Xin Ning, you fainted at noon. Fei Di accompanied you to the hospital. She’s gone back to class now,” I explained to her.

"Ah."

Xin Ning reacted coldly, even pulling her hand away from mine and shrinking into the blanket.

"Xin Ning, how are you feeling right now? Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Xin Ning shook her head, then turned away from me with a sorrowful expression.

I know what Xin Ning is grieving over...

I moved to the other side of the bed to face Xin Ning, but what I saw shocked me. She was crying, and her pillow was soaked...

A tearing pain struck again.

"Xin Ning, please don't do this..."

Xin Ning seemed not to hear me, remaining unmoved, staring blankly ahead, tears streaming down her face.

Xu Lehan quickly handed me the tissue box. I took out a tissue and wiped away Xin Ning's tears, but no matter how many times I wiped, new tears would flow out. I had never seen Xin Ning so sad before. She didn't say a word, didn't pay attention to me, and just kept crying.

"Boss... say something! Xin Ning is crying like this, how can you still be so stubborn! Doesn't Xin Ning's feelings matter more than anything else to you?!" Xu Lehan said anxiously, as if she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

It was at this moment that I remembered Xu Lehan's advice and saw Xin Ning's broken state. I finally understood that there was nothing wrong with Xin Ning and me being together, because Xin Ning's background was there for all to see. She was Xu Lehan's real sister, and it had nothing to do with me.

I took Xin Ning's hand again, and she looked at me at that moment, her eyes filled with eagerness. She had obviously heard what Xu Lehan said.

Under the gaze of the two sisters, I finally said, "Xin Ning... I accept your confession."

Xin Ning seemed to have heard some earth-shattering news. Her expression froze, then gradually turned to surprise and joy. She slowly propped herself up on the bed, her expression changing from surprise to a smile, but then tears streamed down her face.

"Xin Ning, why are you crying again?"

Xin Ning blinked her tears while crying and laughing, saying, "Xin Ning is just too happy..."

I understand that she was crying tears of joy.

"Xin Ning has been waiting for this moment for so long, I am so happy..." Xin Ning desperately wiped away her tears, but she couldn't control them, which shows how happy she was.

But compared to her happiness, I was relatively calm, or rather, a sense of worry followed. If I accepted Xin Ning's confession and took responsibility for her, it meant I would have to deal with a lot of tricky things, such as my parents' opinions and Tong Tong's opinions. They were the people I was pursuing, and what if they couldn't accept me being with Xin Ning...

"Brother, give me a hug~"

Xin Ning couldn't contain her joy and wanted to hug me, but I wasn't used to her way of addressing me. I mean, she still called me that after I accepted her confession, which felt a bit immoral, even though Xin Ning is now just like my adopted sister.

"Xin Ning, please use a different name for her."

“But if I call him ‘brother,’ can’t that express both kinds of feelings?” Xin Ning said.

"This... I still have a little..."

"Hehe, I understand. Then I'll call you Onii-chan, or Tess~ I like you, Tess~"

I blushed when Xin Ning confessed her feelings so directly to Xu Lehan. Xin Ning isn't exactly reserved at all.

"Wow~ Xin Ning's breasts aren't big, but she's surprisingly bold~"

"..."

"..."

Why is Xin Ning's size so much smaller than Xu Lehan's? Xu Lehan must have had abnormal growth...

After embracing for a while, I gently pushed Xin Ning away, looking at her somewhat embarrassed but having to say, "Xin Ning, there's something I want to make clear to you... I don't know what your attitude is..."

"What is it?" Xin Ning asked, puzzled, but still overjoyed.

"It's just that Lehan and I have confessed our feelings for each other... and I still can't let go of Tongtong and Yezi..."

"Does Onii-chan mean what you said to Kogoro before?"

Just as I was about to nod awkwardly, Xu Lehan, who seemed to have too many mouths around, blurted out, "Yes, is the boss extending a harem invitation to you? Want to join our harem club?"

"Silly boy, don't talk!"

"Okay, okay..."

I looked at Xin Ning nervously, very concerned about her answer.

Xin Ning lowered her head and said, "For the past ten years, my only wish has been to be with Onii-chan. I'm already very content just being with Onii-chan. As for anything more, Xin Ning doesn't crave anything more, so..."

At this point, Xin Ning looked up at me and smiled, "I'm willing."

"Yay, hehe~" Xu Lehan rushed up even more excitedly than I did. Xin Ning collapsed onto the bed, cheering, "Welcome, little sister Xin Ning, to our big family! Now this family has two sisters! From now on, we'll work together to make our eldest sister happy every day!"

I felt inexplicably ashamed, but deep down I was also happy, as if there was really something to look forward to... I really owe Xu Lehan a lot for her help. As I watched her hug Xin Ning and fall onto the bed, wiggling her pert butt like an idiot, my affection for her grew stronger.

"Alright, silly, Xin Ning has just recovered and can't take any more of this..."

“Oh, that makes sense.” Xu Lehan immediately helped Xin Ning up.

After tidying her hair, Xin Ning suddenly looked at Xu Lehan and said, "Thank you, sister..."

Xin Ning called Xu Lehan "sister" willingly because Xu Lehan had just helped her; she called her "sister" naturally because Xu Lehan was indeed her biological sister.

Xu Lehan, on the other hand, was overjoyed and started dancing around. I quickly pulled her back to prevent her from being taken to a mental hospital. If both sisters were admitted to the ward, I wouldn't be able to take care of them all.

"Seriously, I still find it unbelievable that you wouldn't mind other girls sharing your Onii-chan with you..." Xin Ning looked very puzzled.

"Because... I'm like a fish in his lotus pond, waiting for him only for the bright moonlight~"

I grabbed Xu Lehan's neck and pulled her against my chest, saying irritably, "So you're calling me a playboy, huh?"

"I'm innocent, boss! You're not a sea king, you're just a pond owner at best..."

"You monster, shut up!" I covered her mouth.

Xu Lehan coughed for a moment, and I quickly removed my hand from her mouth.

"Cough cough, boss, you're tightening it too much, you're choking..."

"I don't think I choked enough in the parking lot!" Although I had already let go of her while saying this, Xu Lehan was obviously faking it.

"It was really tough back then. The boss was so mean, he kept pushing our heads down and making us sprint..." Xu Lehan said, feeling wronged and resentful.

“You guys…” Xin Ning’s voice rang out at this moment.
