Sang Zhi had ice applied to her ankle for a while and the wounds on her hands and knees had also been treated, easing the pain significantly. As a result, her mood improved considerably.
She had always been taken care of like this since she was little, so apart from feeling that they were a bit too close, she didn’t find anything inappropriate.
Sang Zhi glanced at him and muttered, “I didn’t ask you to do anything, did I?”
It was just applying some medicine and wiping her face.
It wasn’t like she asked him to do anything difficult.
How did it become like serving an ancestor?
In that case, ‘this’ ancestor was really easy to serve.
“I suddenly got a sister and your real brother even ran away.” Duan Jiaxu’s eyelids lifted as he stood up straight. “Kid, do you know how much Brother has helped you?”
Sang Zhi paused and couldn’t help but say, “Well, I can help you too if you need anything.”
As if finding her words amusing, Duan Jiaxu sat down beside her with great interest and smiled, turning his head, “Hmm? What can you help me with?”
“Well……” Sang Zhi only managed to utter one word before stopping, completely unable to think of anything she could help him with. She scratched her head, admitting defeat, and awkwardly changed the topic, “Where did my brother go……?”
Duan Jiaxu lazily replied, “He probably doesn’t want you anymore.”
Sang Zhi snorted. “I’m the one who despises him.”
After saying that, she remembered the earlier incident and started to worry, “Would my brother find it weird that I called him dad in front of the teacher, and he even heard the teacher call you Sang Zhi’s brother.”
“Yeah.” Duan Jiaxu said, “He probably guessed that I pretended to be him to meet your teacher.”
“……”
Sang Zhi’s scalp tingled. “What should we do then?”
“What can we do?” Duan Jiaxu sighed. “Both of us are doomed.”
“……” Hearing him say that, Sang Zhi felt a bit anxious and muttered, “It won’t be that bad. I’ll talk to him later, he won’t tell our parents……”
Duan Jiaxu said, “Weren’t you ignoring him?”
“It’s not that I want to ignore him, it’s just that he always scolds me.” Sang Zhi’s mood dropped as she spoke, “Normally it’s fine, but he still scolds me even when I fall.”
“You think he doesn’t care about you?”
Sang Zhi pursed her lips, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
“Didn’t you say something interesting in front of the teacher just now?” Duan Jiaxu said, “Your brother heard it so doesn’t he need to ask a few more questions? Isn’t that also a form of care?”
Sang Zhi mumbled, “But can’t he ask more gently?”
Duan Jiaxu found it amusing. “You want your brother to be gentle? Isn’t that asking too much?”
“……”
That seemed to make some sense.
Sang Zhi didn’t know what to say. She glanced at Duan Jiaxu again and quickly lowered her head.
