Chapter 253: Chapter 251 I am a Family Member of the Patient

A single call of "little sister" hung in Ning Xixi’s ears like a curse, never ceasing.

Little sister...

Little sister...

He actually... called her little sister!

Ning Xixi struggled to take a breath, her cherry-colored lips slightly parted, unable to utter a single word.

How could this be...

Her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, heavy and rough. It took a long time before Ning Xixi trembled and asked, "Gong Xiu... what do you mean..."

Gong Xiu was dressed in a black trench coat, looking tall and straight, his face as if crafted by a skilled craftsman, with glittering phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and angular features that were handsome and striking.

But upon closer inspection, one could see the intense pain that was hidden beneath his smile.

"Little sister, uncle called me, said you were here. Are you feeling unwell?" Gong Xiu smiled faintly, his charm deadly yet irresistible.

He had been at the hospital all day, accompanying his elders, and hadn’t gone to school, so he didn’t know about the incident where Ning Xixi was hit by a ball.

"Don’t call me little sister! I am not your little sister!"

Ning Xixi clenched her fists.

Even if she was dull, she could hear the subtext in Gong Xiu’s words.

They weren’t related by blood, yet he called her little sister;

Gong Xiu’s mother, it’s said, divorced when he was six;

Dad said, "Your brother will come to take care of you..."

All the pieces were coming together, there was only one possibility: Gong Xiu’s mother was going to remarry her father!

Ironic... far too ironic!

The God of her dreams who she had once liked and pursued was about to become her brother!

Did Gong Xiu know about this long ago?

"When did my dad... and your mom get together?" She asked the raw question.

Gong Xiu replied lightly, "For two or three years, I guess."

Boom—

It was as if a boulder had crushed her heart, causing such pain that her mind seemed to falter.

"Did you know about this all along?"

"...Yes."

No wonder...

No wonder when she first pursued him, he said, "You and I can’t be together."

No wonder he had hinted several times for her to be his sister, but she hadn’t grasped the meaning.

It turns out they were really going to be siblings.

No blood relation, but legally siblings!

The doctor sensed the tension between the two and hesitated as he glanced back and forth, asking, "Is this your brother?"

"Yes."

"No!"

Two people gave utterly different answers.

The doctor’s head was spinning; it seemed he had stumbled upon some scrumptious high-society secret...

Tsk tsk tsk, what a drama indeed.

Creak, the door of the consultation room was pushed open, Ji Yebai entered with a stack of documents, his handsome brows deeply furrowed. Seeing Gong Xiu, he asked with an unexpected tone, "What are you doing here?"

Gong Xiu countered, "Why can’t I be here?"

The tension was thick between the two, as if the next second could lead to a hospital demolition.

The doctor’s heart trembled, and he mustered the courage to say, "Ahem, there are some points to note regarding the patient’s condition that need to be written down..."

Gong Xiu bowed gracefully, "Just tell me, I am the patient’s family member and I will take good care of her."

Ji Yebai’s face darkened, "What did you say? Family member? Are you worthy?"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I am indeed Ning Xixi’s brother in name, in law, and in actuality. I look forward to your guidance—" Gong Xiu raised his chin provocatively at Ji Yebai.

Ji Yebai sneered, "The one who should be disappointed is you. The only, and the only person that can be, Ning Xixi’s family is me!"
