1211: Wishful Thinking

Wishful Thinking

Xie Qiao thought that was possible, so under the gaze of her siblings, she covered her chest, coughed twice, and then let them help her back into the house.2

She lay on the bed, looking weak.

Chun Er was confused, but she would not expose her.

"Eldest Sister, is there anything else that you'd like to eat? I'll buy it for you..." Xie Pinghuai paused, then added, "Xi'er will give you money." 

Xie Xi nodded. "I've saved a lot of money." 

"Recently... I've been bored. Do you want to play with the grasshoppers?" Xie Qiao said wickedly.

"Eldest Sister, don't make fun of me. I don't like to play with those things anymore." Xie Pinghuai smiled bitterly. "Weren't you in good health before? How did it suddenly become like this?" 

"Before? Maybe it was a long period of time?" Xie Qiao said slowly.

She did not know why such a rumor would suddenly spread, but since they were blood-related siblings, she could not be blamed for tricking them... It was fun...

Of course, she did not know what would happen after the ceremony. It would be better to let them get used to it early so that they would not be sad afterwards.

She would not die. She would just be blind. That would still be a happy thing for them!

Xie Qiao was not afraid of bad luck. She began to say her last words.

"Little brother, I'm worried about you the most. After I leave, you must protect your sister well. You must practice martial arts hard and fulfill my wish to beat eldest brother. Don't be lazy..." 

The corner of Xie Pinghuai's mouth twitched. He did not want to say yes to that.

He knew the gap between him and his eldest brother now. He was afraid that he could not beat him.

"Sure." He had no choice. He wanted his eldest sister to die in peace.

"I, ahem... I still want to be a great scholar, but... my body isn't strong enough... I'll leave it all to you... In our family, without me, only you can read the most books..." 

Xie Pinghuai gulped and wanted to run.

Great scholar?!

Oh god, just kill him already!

Do not take his eldest sister's life, let him die instead. Him, a person who almost took half his life in the entrance exam, she wanted him to be a great scholar? Spending all day in books?

Eldest sister was too ruthless, she was probably possessed by some monster! Such a wish, it was simply wishful thinking!

"He will definitely do it! Eldest Sister, don't worry." Xie Xi stabbed his back.

Xie Qiao nodded in satisfaction. "Of course I believe in you." 

As for Xie Xi, Xie Qiao was not worried for her at all.

She looked silly, but in reality, she was more understanding and sensible than anyone else in the family. In the future, she would only worry about her marriage, but it was not a problem.

The reason being in the Xie family, there were three men, and none of them should be offended.

"In the future, if you suffer any grievances, just tell them. Didn't you learn a few moves yourself? If anyone bullies you, just hit them back. Don't be afraid." 

Xie Qiao's words… It was purely to give Xie Xi more courage and make her more bold.

Women should be gentle? That was nonsense.

If she, Xie Qiao, was born with a good body, she would learn martial arts and become a hero. She was tougher than anyone else.

The pair of siblings cried as they listened to her finish her sentence.

Occasionally, when Xie Qiao was almost out of breath, they thought that was the last sentence she would say before she died. However, in the blink of an eye, she was out of breath and continued to nag.

The two of them were a little confused as they listened.

Their minds were in a mess.

How long did she talk for?

About two hours? Was her mouth not dry? Had she not used up all her breath? How can a dying person be more talkative than them…
