Chapter 136 Lullaby
Xu Shu came over gently and removed the pillow behind my back, then ordered me in an unquestionable tone: "Come on, be obedient! Lie down and sleep."
I really wanted to sleep, but I didn't have a cigarette, so I felt uncomfortable. I smiled flatteringly and said, "Okay! I'll sleep, but...but can I...can I have a cigarette before going to bed?"
Xu Shu said with a straight face, "No! You are not allowed to smoke until your injury is healed!"
No... isn't it? How long will it take for my injury to heal? This life... is unbearable! I turned around in pain, ready to complain to my sister. But I found her sitting stupidly on the stool, her mouth wide open, like a wooden man.
I then remembered that Xiaoying was so excited and shocked when she saw her idol that she couldn't think straight. So I said to Xu Shu, "Look at my sister. She was dumbfounded when she saw you. The power of stars is really not to be underestimated! Can you help me wake her up?"
Xu Shu had heard me talk about my sister when we first met, and knew that she was an avid fan of hers. She smiled, walked over, put her arm around Xiaoying’s shoulders affectionately, and said, “Xiaoying, huh? I’ve heard your brother talk about you a long time ago! I finally met you today, and I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful. You don’t look like your brother at all!”
I almost choked to death when I heard this. What does Xu Shu mean?
My sister's eyes immediately filled with tears. She touched Xu Shu's arm with trembling hands and said excitedly, "Is it really... really you? Am I... dreaming?"
Xu Shu lovingly reached out his other hand to stroke my sister's hair, nodded and smiled, "Yes! I am Xiaoxin's sister. Does my sister often come to your house to play? She said that your room is covered with my posters! Your brother also said that you can sing all my songs, is it true? I am so happy!"
My sister finally couldn't hold back her tears and cried, "I...I'm so happy! Can I...can I hug you? I dream of hugging you and talking to you."
Xu Shu opened his arms and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, I can let you hold me every day."
My sister's eyes lit up, and she hugged Xu Shu madly. The happiness on her face was beyond words. Xu Shu smiled and hugged my sister, but her eyes were looking at me. There was a hint of pride in her eyes that was not easy to detect.
I also smiled as I watched the two beauties hugging each other. I knew how much Xu Shu meant to my sister. I was so badly injured but I didn't see my sister shed a tear. But when she saw Xu Shu, she cried like this! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel jealous of Xu Shu!
My sister was so reluctant to let go of Xu Shu that Xu Shu had no choice but to look at me and silently command me with her mouth: "Go to bed!" I also smiled and said with my mouth: "I want to smoke!"
Xu Shu made an expression of being overwhelmed, then patted my sister's back and said softly, "Xiao Ying, let's coax your brother to sleep first, and then I'll have a good talk with you, okay?"
My sister finally came back a little from her excitement and ecstasy. She left Xu Shu's arms a little, looked at her idol in confusion, and asked, "Why? Why are you in my brother's ward? Why did I... never know that you and my brother knew each other?"
Xu Shu touched her head and said with a smile: "I don't know either, go ask your brother!"
Xiao Ying suddenly turned around, grabbed my ear angrily, and said angrily: "Brother! What are you doing? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You obviously know who my favorite person is, but you deliberately hid it from me? I'm so mad! I'm not done with you!"
I had no choice but to yell, "Ouch! It hurts! Let go!"
Xu Shu hurried over and hugged Xiao Ying, saying anxiously: "Let's talk it over , don't do it! Your brother is still injured!"
I have to listen to my idol. My sister finally let go of my ears and said angrily, "I'll settle with you later!" Then she hugged Xu Shu and said with a smile, "Are you heartbroken? Sister-in-law, you should marry me soon! Now I'm so powerful in school. The big star Xu Shu is my sister-in-law. I think those classmates will be jealous, haha!"
Xu Shu's face suddenly flushed, and in a blink of an eye it turned red. She said shyly, "Xiao Yingke... don't talk nonsense, your sister-in-law is someone else!"
I also said seriously: "Xiao Ying! Xu Shu is my friend! Don't talk nonsense without any basis!"
My sister laughed in disbelief, "Ha! You're still keeping it a secret? Do you think I'm blind? Brother, I really can't believe it! How could you be with... This is unbelievable! This is unbelievable! Is the world really going to end soon? Is mankind starting to regress? Why would such a horrific thing happen? "
I… I rolled my eyes, I couldn’t catch my breath, I couldn’t help but cough. This cough immediately aggravated my injury, the pain made me break out in cold sweats again.
Xu Shu was so scared that he quickly let go of my sister. He didn't care about the people around him and wanted to avoid suspicion. He supported me and patted my back, asking me anxiously, "How are you? How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to call a doctor ?"
I shook my head, forcing myself to suppress the pain in my throat, and said with a wry smile, "No need! I say, sister, are you here to take care of me or to abuse me? How can you talk like that?"
Xu Shu tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, lie down and rest! You look so uncomfortable, your face has turned pale. Hurry up and rest, otherwise you won't get better so quickly!"
Tang Ying looked at the two of us with a smile and said, "You are so in love, but you still refuse to admit it? I am your biological sister! Sister-in-law! Why is my brother like this? You can't be like her. You are my idol, you can't lie to me!"
I was about to explain myself when Xu Shu laid me down. She knew what I was going to do, so she said, "Okay, I'll explain it to your sister later. Now close your eyes and go to sleep!"
I lay on the bed, but how could I fall asleep? Xiaoying came over with a smile and said teasingly: "Brother! Sister-in-law! Do you need me to step aside for a moment? Haha!"
I angrily said, "I've already told you that she's not your sister-in-law, why are you still yelling? She has to be respectable, don't embarrass yourself!"
Tang Ying stuck out her tongue and said, "So fierce! Fine, fine, I won't bark anymore. It's only a matter of time. I don't mind waiting for two more days."
I am really confused about this little sister!
I was too lazy to pay attention to her, and turned to Xu Shu and said, "Xu Shu, you didn't get enough rest this day and night, did you? It's really hard for you. I'm very proud to have a good friend like you! But your identity is different from ours. If you appear here too often, you will always be discovered by reporters and paparazzi, and it will be bad if it causes a sensation in the city. I think you can stop coming in the future, so you'd better not come, so as to avoid a lot of trouble. My family can take care of me here, you should go back and have a rest!"
Xu Shu's face was flushed and her eyes were rolling. Her expression was three parts shy, three parts embarrassed, but also three parts happy. After hearing what I said, she couldn't help but turn it into a disappointed expression. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Really? Okay! But let's talk about it after you fall asleep. If you also want me to go back and rest early, then close your eyes and go to sleep!"
I said with a bitter face: "But... I can't sleep without a cigarette!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Shu and my sister fell on the hospital beds, one on each side, speechless!
Xu Shu got up with a mixture of anger and amusement, and said, " After all this fuss, you're still obsessed with is smoking? God! I'm convinced by you. But I really can't promise you that if you can't sleep...how about I sing you a lullaby? I guarantee you'll fall asleep right away, okay?"
I said disappointedly, "Lullaby? Come on! I'm not a child anymore!"
My sister said excitedly, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law... well, future sister-in-law, I love listening to you sing the most, please sing a song soon, I really want to hear it!"
Xu Shu smiled, reached out and scratched her nose, and said, "Okay! Let me test you. Didn't you say you can sing all my songs? Then I'll sing a line, and you can follow along."
My sister nodded happily and said "hmm". Xu Shu turned her head and looked at me. Her bright and beautiful eyes seemed to have a lot to say. She stared at me for a while, and then she sang a gentle and tender song: "You! You really make me confused and infatuated. I want to ignore you, but I can't help but secretly look at you. You! You really make me feel soft and tender. I want to reject you, but I can't bear to give up this relationship..."
Xu Shu's singing voice was lingering and sad, and she sang the inner voice of a woman who loves but dares not speak out . She just sang two sentences, and my sister followed her. She was singing the harmony in the song. Although the two of them had never cooperated before, their voices blended together so naturally that it was hard to tell whether they were singing live or listening to a recording.
In the song, I was in a trance and returned to that snowy night. On May Day Road, I carried Xu Shu on my back, listening to her singing, floating along as if walking in the clouds...
I smiled, my mood calmed down, and the pain in my body seemed to disappear with the singing. I closed my eyes, and before I knew it, I fell asleep...
