【Mianmian, sorry… I don’t know the details. That’s all I know. 】
The Qin family kept their mouths tightly sealed.
“Thank you, Narcissus Sister. You’ve already told me a lot,” Mianmian said sweetly. She would figure out the rest herself.
She brought another cup of water and carefully watered the plant.
Upstairs, Qin Yunchuan and Gu Xu watched everything—her entire “conversation” with the narcissus.
“Yunchuan… you might not believe this, but I really think your sister has… a problem.” Gu Xu tapped his head.
Qin Yunchuan’s face darkened.
“My Mianmian is perfectly normal.”
“I—I didn’t mean it like that. I just think… maybe she encountered something unclean on the mountain…”
Qin Yunchuan went downstairs, with Gu Xu following closely behind. He was worried too.
Standing behind Mianmian, Qin Yunchuan watched her carefully tending to the plant, a proud smile appearing on his face.
His sister was so kind-hearted.
How could she possibly be sick?
But…
He clearly remembered this plant was almost dead before. Now, its leaves looked full of life again.
“Mianmian, don’t stand in dangerous places. What if the pot falls and hits you?”
He lifted her down gently.
Holding the cup, Mianmian blinked and said, “Big brother, Narcissus Sister won’t hurt me. She’s very gentle. She likes me.”
Qin Yunchuan’s heart tightened.
What was she saying?
Plants couldn’t talk.
Could Gu Xu be right? Did she really encounter something strange?
He examined her nervously.
“Big brother will find a master to take a look at you.”
“Huh?”
Mianmian froze.
She understood—he thought she was talking nonsense.
“But it’s true! Narcissus Sister really likes me. She told me! I can understand what she says!”
Oh no…
From their expressions, it was clear—they didn’t believe her.
“I really can hear her. You have to believe me!”
“Alright, alright. Whatever Mianmian says is true.”
He smiled gently.
(He clearly didn’t believe her.)
Gu Xu chuckled softly.
“Alright, it’s about time. Mianmian, big brother Gu Xu is heading back. We’ll meet again.”
“Bye-bye, Brother Gu Xu. I’ll miss you!”
Gu Xu’s heart melted.
“I’ll miss you too! Call me when you think of me!”
Mianmian nodded enthusiastically, waving her hands.
But Gu Xu kept saying goodbye without leaving.
Qin Yunchuan’s face darkened.
“Are you leaving or not?”
“I’m going, I’m going!”
After Gu Xu left, Mianmian reluctantly lowered her hand.
Qin Yunchuan crouched down and pinched her cheek.
“You like Gu Xu that much? Don’t you like big brother anymore?”
“Big brother is number one in my heart!”
She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her chest, her expression serious.
Qin Yunchuan laughed.
The butler stepped forward.
“Young Master, tomorrow is the day to visit the Second Young Master.”
“Make the arrangements.”
After the butler left, Qin Yunchuan gently fixed Mianmian’s messy bangs.
From what the narcissus said, her second brother, Qin Yuchuan, was hospitalized.
He had severe depression—so severe that he sometimes acted in extreme ways.
Mianmian wrapped her arms around Qin Yunchuan’s neck.
“Big brother, I want to visit second brother too.”
At the mention of Qin Yuchuan, a trace of worry appeared in Qin Yunchuan’s brows.
“His condition isn’t stable yet. When he improves, I’ll take you to see him.”
Mianmian looked a little disappointed.
But Qin Yunchuan didn’t change his mind.
She couldn’t take any risks.
“Okay… I’ll listen to big brother.”
Her second brother had doctors.
Right now, the most important person was her big brother.
The narcissus said his health was very poor—he even coughed up blood sometimes.
But both Qin Yunchuan and Gu Xu weren’t telling the truth.
Mianmian sighed.
If only she had brought her spiritual pills…
How could she help him now?
She sighed again.
If she wanted to know the truth, she could only get it from Gu Xu.
Everyone in this house kept secrets too well.
After saying goodnight, she went to sleep.
The next day—
Mianmian used her smartwatch to call Gu Xu.
“Hey, little Mianmian missed me?”
“Yes! I missed you, Brother Gu Xu. Where are you?”
“I’m at the clinic. I’ll come find you after I’m done, okay?”
“Okay! Bye-bye!”
After hanging up, Mianmian changed into a warm pair of overalls and put on a cute Mickey Mouse hat.
She spun in front of the mirror.
The clothes here were so pretty—and easy to wear!
She went downstairs and asked the butler to take her to Gu Xu.
After getting Qin Yunchuan’s permission, a driver sent her to the clinic.
Mianmian arrived happily.
Through the glass, she searched for Gu Xu.
She pushed the door open—the bell chimed softly.
“Wow, whose little baby is this? So cute! Who are you looking for?”
A nurse immediately approached, her voice full of warmth.
“Pretty sister, I’m looking for Brother Gu Xu!”
The nurse’s heart melted instantly.
“Doctor Gu, there’s a little cutie looking for you!”
“People come looking for me every day. Which beauty is it this time?”
Gu Xu walked out in a white coat, holding a blood pressure monitor.
Then he froze.
“Mianmian?!”
He blinked—he wasn’t seeing things.
“Brother Gu Xu, come back to reality!”
She tugged his hand.
He handed the monitor to the nurse and crouched down, pinching her cheek again.
Why does he love pinching my cheeks so much?!
“How did you get here?”
“I came to see you!”
She smiled brightly.
A patient called out.
“Go do your work first, Brother Gu Xu. We can talk later!”
Oh?
She sounded like a little adult.
Mianmian sat in the waiting area while nurses piled snacks in front of her—like a small mountain.
【It’s Thursday… those people are coming to trouble Gu Xu again.】
Mianmian paused, sucking on her lollipop.
She looked at a succulent plant on the table.
Who would dare cause trouble for Gu Xu?
He was from a powerful family.
Wasn’t that asking for death?
She didn’t understand.
But the plant’s words stayed in her mind.
She picked it up.
Then—
The doorbell rang again.
A group of strong-looking men walked in.
The leader had red hair and a dragon tattoo on his arm.
“Gu Xu—get out here.”
