Chapter 1262 - 1261: Trust My Brother
After calling twice but still not seeing Chen Siyan come down, Wei Xueqing frowned, took off her jacket, and walked upstairs.Stopping at the door, Wei Xueqing took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door!
"Yanyan! Open the door!"
Wei Xueqing leaned against the door for a while, but there was no response from inside.
She frowned again, hastily knocking on the door and shouting, "Yanyan! Open the door! I know you’re in there! Hurry, open up!"
Unfortunately, there was no response.
After knocking for a while and seeing that Chen Siyan still didn’t open the door for her, a trace of anger flashed between Wei Xueqing’s eyebrows, and she turned to the storage room.
In the storage room, there were spare keys for the bedroom door.
With the key in hand, Wei Xueqing opened Chen Siyan’s bedroom door.
As the door opened, Wei Xueqing immediately smelled something like mold; the room was pitch black, with the curtains closed. She stretched out to turn on the light and saw someone on the bed pulling a quilt over their head.
Seeing the messy state of the room, Wei Xueqing couldn’t help but sigh.
Wei Xueqing picked up the clothes on the floor and threw them into the dirty laundry basket, then walked to the bedside and pulled the quilt away.
Chen Siyan irritably pulled the pillow over her head, unwilling to see Wei Xueqing.
"Yanyan! Can you pull yourself together?" Wei Xueqing sighed.
Chen Siyan’s voice came from under the pillow, "Without my brother, what’s the point of me living?"
Wei Xueqing frowned and said coldly, "Are you so sure your brother is dead?"
"No! My brother would never die! Don’t curse my brother!" Upon hearing this, Chen Siyan immediately sat up from the bed, glaring angrily at Wei Xueqing.
"Then pull yourself together! Wait for him to come back!" Wei Xueqing said.
Hearing this, Chen Siyan was somewhat annoyed and helplessly said, "The director doesn’t need me to leave here at all... I don’t even know what my brother looks like now!"
"That’s no excuse for giving up on yourself! Think about it, how many difficulties has your brother faced when he came back, how many times has he been in danger, and hasn’t he persevered through it all? You should have faith in him! Besides, I believe the director has his reasons for doing this; it’s for your own good! After all, you know that Ancheng is completely closed off now, so there must be other problems. Going there would only cause more trouble." Wei Xueqing advised.
Chen Siyan bowed her head in silence, seemingly a bit ashamed.
"Moreover," Wei Xueqing said, "we’ve already contacted Ancheng, and the lockdown will be lifted tomorrow. I’m planning to go over once it’s lifted."
"Really?" Chen Siyan raised her head suddenly, looking at Wei Xueqing excitedly.
Wei Xueqing stood up and glanced at Chen Siyan, "That’s right! However, I don’t think you’re in the condition to go to Ancheng now!"
"No, I can do it!" Chen Siyan jumped up from the bed, moving her arms and legs, "Look at me, I’m perfectly fine! I can go anywhere!"
However, after just a couple of steps, Chen Siyan screamed in pain, fell to the ground, and clutched her ankle.
"What’s wrong?" Wei Xueqing asked with concern.
Chen Siyan’s face twisted in pain, and she gritted her teeth to say with difficulty, "It’s nothing... just... a cramp!"
Because of the long period of inactivity, jumping up suddenly inevitably caused a cramp.
Hearing this, Wei Xueqing was speechless, looked at Chen Siyan, and sighed, "Look at you! In your current state, how can you face Yang Chen when you see him?"
After a while, Chen Siyan’s ankle finally recovered.
Chen Siyan immediately grabbed Wei Xueqing’s clothes and shouted, "I’m fine! I’m perfectly fine! Take me with you, Xueqing! You can’t leave me behind!"
"I’ll see how you perform!" Wei Xueqing said calmly and left the room.
Seeing this, Chen Siyan jumped up from the bed, grabbed a few clothes from the wardrobe, and rushed into the bathroom.
...
Downstairs.
Wei Xueqing was preparing to cook.
In the past, Wei Xueqing had never cooked.
However, at this time, Fu Zhou and Ruan Ling weren’t in the mood, and there was no one else at home, nor could they order takeaway every day, as it’s neither safe nor hygienic, so she had to take on the responsibility of cooking.
In this period, by reluctantly following recipes, Wei Xueqing could barely cook the meals properly. After a month of practice, the meals she made were now decent, showing great improvement.
After preparing the ingredients, Wei Xueqing started cooking.
Before long, Chen Siyan came down to the kitchen, eagerly helping Wei Xueqing.
Together, they finished making the meals and served them on the dining table.
They called Ruan Ling and Fu Zhou to come and eat.
The two of them had lost a lot of weight in this month and had little appetite. Nonetheless, since Wei Xueqing had made the food, they had to eat something.
Seeing Chen Siyan coming downstairs, Ruan Ling sighed, "Yanyan, you’ve come down."
Though she knew Chen Siyan hadn’t been in a good state during this time, she had no mind to deal with it, so she felt quite guilty towards Chen Siyan.
Looking at Ruan Ling, Chen Siyan said, "Auntie, I’ve thought about it! I can’t go on like this! If I’m truly worried about my brother, I should pray for him, hoping that he’s fine! Moreover, since my brother came back as a rearguard, he’s faced so many dangers and managed to pull through, so I believe it will be the same this time! I believe in my brother! Just now, my sister Xueqing also told me that Ancheng’s lockdown is canceled. We are going to Ancheng to find my brother! No matter what, I want to be by his side in his time of need instead of isolating myself!"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes, "Are you saying... Ancheng’s lockdown is lifted?"
"Yes, Auntie." Wei Xueqing intervened, "The news has been confirmed, the lockdown will be officially lifted tomorrow. I plan to go and have a look, after all, it’s been a month, there should be some news by now."
Ruan Ling and Fu Zhou exchanged a glance, hope reigniting in their eyes, and said in unison, "Then we’ll go with you!"
Wei Xueqing thought for a moment, then slowly nodded, "Alright!"
...
The night always passes quickly.
The next day.
In the morning.
Jin Chen, in the laboratory.
Night Fire woke up, looked at the surroundings, and struggled to get up.
The nurse noticed and quickly informed the others.
After receiving the notice, everyone rushed to the ward immediately.
"Night Fire!"
"You’re awake!"
"You finally woke up!"
"That’s great!"
"Thank heavens!"
...
Seeing the crowd in the ward looking at him with concern, Night Fire felt a bit nervous and awkwardly smiled, "What are you all doing, looking at me makes me nervous."
The Mastiff chuckled, walked up, and patted Night Fire, playfully scolding, "And you think you’re nervous! You have no idea how tense we’ve been this past month!"
Night Fire chuckled, then his smile faded, and he looked around at everyone seriously, saying, "Thanks! Brothers!"
He knew he’d been parasitized, and now waking up meant that those brothers must have made tremendous sacrifices to save him.
"Hey! Why say such things!"
"It’s what we should do!"
"Don’t mention thanks!"
...
Everyone waved their hands, unwilling to accept Night Fire’s gratitude.
They were like that, always ready to support one of their own in trouble, for brotherhood, willing to go through fire and water, not for a simple thank you, but for a true brother!
True brothers don’t need to use the word ’thanks’.
