Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As long as one was a human, there would be ugly things or secrets that they didn’t want others to know.
As for someone like Qing Chuan, he looked at the document bag in front of him and thought of those photos and documents. Even though he was angry and unwilling, he still nodded reluctantly under Murong Qiao’s gaze.
“Be sensible. It’s better for everyone,” Murong Qiao said.
Seeing that Qing Chuan had agreed, she stood up and left her seat, the coldness of her back view showing no mercy.
Murong Qiao couldn’t waste any more time with Qing Chuan here. The preparations for Three Thousand Realms were almost done and filming was about to start. She still had to work on the script.
As for Qing Chuan, after being warned by Murong Qiao, he should behave for the time being.
An Nuo didn’t know about the secret confrontation between Murong Qiao and Qing Chuan. Ever since she told Murong Qiao that she had given up that night, she had been focused on her work.
Her life had been split into two by her, with half of it going to the classes and half of it going to her work. An Nuo was almost so busy that her feet didn’t touch the ground, but because of this, she became more and more stable, allowing people to see her gradually improving.
Everyone got busy, but this did not include Nan Hao, who was still in school.
Ever since he found out the truth of his mother’s death, Nan Hao could not accept it. He accepted his Big Brother’s kindness and moved to Nan Jin’s place to live with the two of them.
“You’re still doing your homework?” Nan Jin pushed open the door and asked.
Nan Hao changed the computer screen without a trace. “Yes.”
He only responded. Seeing this, Nan Jin did not ask further and turned to go to the living room.
Nan Hao looked at Nan Jin’s back and slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
His gaze then turned to the computer screen and he looked at some part-time job advertisements. He pursed his lips and his expression was not clear.
Actually, Nan Jin was a little dissatisfied with his current situation of only going to school. Seeing that his two Big Brothers were usually running around for their lives, Nan Hao also wanted to do what he could.
However, Nan Xuan and Nan Jin did not agree with this matter and only let him study well.
While Nan Hao was in a daze, he heard a voice coming from the door.
“Big Brother?”
It was Nan Xuan.
He returned with two large bags of vegetables and a briefcase in his other hand. His face was unreadable.
Nan Hao hurriedly ran to the door to help and took the things. “Brother, you came back so late today.”
“There was a social engagement event,” Nanxuan said. “Have you eaten?”
“No.” Nan Hao shook his head.
Nan Xuan said nothing. He put his briefcase aside and turned to the kitchen with the bag.
Among the three of them, only Nan Xuan was more familiar with the kitchen. Although the food he made could not be said to be delicious, it was still good enough to fill their stomachs.
Nan Hao looked at his Big Brother, who was becoming more and more silent. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say, so he could only turn around to look at his second brother, Nan Jin. He saw Nan Jin facing his cell phone and looking at Murong Qiao’s photo in deep thought.
Murong Qiao.
These three words seemed to have touched Nan Jin’s memory, making him recall his bad attitude and tone towards her previously.
At that time, he had even said so many fierce words to Murong Qiao confidently. Now, just thinking about it made Nan Hao feel ashamed.
Perhaps he should apologize to Murong Qiao.
Nan Hao, whose thoughts were heavy, subconsciously sat beside Nan Jin. In front of him was a bowl of noodles that Nan Xuan had just served. There was only a little spring onion sprinkled on top, but it couldn’t arouse anyone’s appetite.
“Ding.” It was Nan Xuan’s phone.
Nan Xuan casually took it out and took a look. Just as he was about to return to his room, he stopped halfway and turned to the door.
Nan Xuan was silent for a long time. “Something came up at the company. I have to go back. Call me if there’s anything.”
With that, he hurriedly picked up his briefcase and left without giving Nan Jin and Nan Hao a chance to speak.
He always came and went in a hurry like this, and his entire body was numb. Nan Hao had never been able to understand what his Big Brother was thinking. Even after knowing the truth of his mother’s death, Nan Xuan was the least emotional of the three.
“Ahem—” Nan Jin suddenly coughed.
Nan Hao’s attention was pulled back. He turned to look at Nan Jin and saw that his posture was strange. He was holding her leg as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable.
“Brother?” Nan Hao called out to him.
But Nan Jin didn’t reply. He only held his leg. It was so painful that his cell phone fell to the ground, and he wasn’t in the mood to pick it up. His face turned pale.
“B… Brother…?!”
Right on the heels of that, Nan Jin suddenly fainted, leaving behind a flustered Nan Hao.
It happened so suddenly that Nan Hao didn’t have time to think. He first sent Nan Jin to the hospital and then learned from the nurse that Nan Jin had been sick for a long time.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital made Nan Hao especially uncomfortable, making it difficult for him to breathe. He stood by the bed and communicated with the nurse.
“A long time… How long is it?” Nan Hao’s voice was dry.
The nurse looked at the young man in front of her and finally chose to answer tactfully. “The last time he came to the hospital was a few months ago.”
“This illness is quite painful. It was terrible even at the time when he was hospitalized. Later on, for some reason, he said that he couldn’t stay and continue his treatment.”
The nurse was an old woman and had been working with Murong Qiao’s second brother, Murong Zheng, so she was indirectly familiar with Nan Jin and could talk about him.
Although they still had to respect the patient’s choice, they were still a little worried after knowing that Nan Jin didn’t choose to be hospitalized.
“Alright, I understand… Thank you.” Nan Hao ended the topic.
The nurse still had work to do, so she turned around and left the ward.
Nan Hao sat by the bed and looked at the pale Nan Jin, not knowing what to do.
Did Big Brother know about this? Or did the two of them know and were just hiding it from him?
Nan Hao glanced at his cell phone. Other than the message he had just sent to Nan Xuan, there was still no reply.
At this moment, he had a myriad of thoughts in his heart, but they were so chaotic that he did not know where to organize them.
[Nan Xuan: [Transfer] Pay the medical fees first.]
Nan Xuan transferred a sum of money over, which made Nan Jin feel a little more at ease.
However, Nan Xuan was busy with work all day, so in the end, the responsibility of taking care of Nan Jin fell on Nan Hao.
He would come to the hospital every day after school to pay attention to Nan Jin’s health.
“I saw Little Sister at school today.” Nan Hao peeled an apple.
At the mention of Murong Qiao, Nan Jin’s attention would be focused.
Nan Hao continued, “She’s walking with her roommates. She looks very busy, but her results are still especially outstanding…”
He rambled on about a lot of useless daily things, but even so, Nan Jin’s eyes lit up slightly as if he was energized and even found it interesting.
“It’s good that her results are good. The most important thing is for her to live happily.” Nan Jin smiled.
As long as Murong Qiao lived well and was happy, it was more important than anything else.
Nan Hao did not understand. “Even your illness is not important?”
He asked in return.
During the few days that Nan Jin was hospitalized, no matter how careless Nan Hao was, he realized that Nan Jin actually did not care about his illness. He seemed to be getting by and only barely perked up when Murong Qiao was mentioned.
“Perhaps this is a punishment from the heavens.” However, Nan Jin’s words made Nan Hao even more confused.
Nan Jin looked at his hospital gown with a bitter smile. He even thought to himself that it was good to continue like this. Who knows? Perhaps seeing his miserable state would make his Little Sister feel happy?
Thinking about it this way, it was good to be sick..
