Chapter 1542: Chapter 1543: Sis, Don’t Take It Seriously
Under the meticulous care of your parents, Li Qiyi’s heart condition gradually improved, and at the age of fourteen, she underwent a ten-hour heart surgery performed personally by two national treasure-level old military doctors, which finally cured the issue.
"Child bride" was a playful remark from your mother in the past. After all, at that time, your mother wasn’t yet pregnant and didn’t know whether her child would be a boy or a girl.
Because she was too young, Li Qiyi didn’t have any memories of that period, and coincidentally, her blood type was the same as your mother’s, both being type B. In addition, the attentive care she received from your parents made her believe over the years that she was your mother’s biological child.
Li Qiyi witnessed your birth; when she was five, she was in the delivery room with your father, cheering for your mother, watching as your head slowly emerged from her body.
After the umbilical cord was cut and at the moment the nurse made you cry, you opened your eyes, and the first person you saw was Li Qiyi. Upon seeing her, you stopped crying and smiled foolishly at this adorable elder sister before you.
The brother and sister had a great relationship from a young age, bathing and sleeping together, intimately inseparable.
Some people once joked that the bond between brother and sister was an unbreakable tie. Both of them gladly accepted this, considering it a beautiful compliment.
The deeper the feelings, the higher the probability of qualitative change.
In the memories of reincarnation, you don’t know when your feelings for your sister changed, nor do you want to recall it too much. You are very clear; now and in the future, all you can do is maintain a distance like now, quietly watch her, and do your utmost to protect her from any harm; this is the only thing you can do.
It is unclear how much time passed, perhaps as long as a century, but as the dim room gradually brightened, with the first ray of morning sunlight entering the room, Li Qiyi muttered, "Little Yun."
"Sister, I’m here."
You hurriedly leaned forward, only to find that Li Qiyi was merely sleep talking and couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Just as you sat back down, you noticed that in the bright morning light, Li Qiyi had opened her translucent eyes.
"Little Yun." Without getting out of bed, Li Qiyi’s voice sounded extremely languid, and this languidness was interwoven with just a slight hint of sweetness, making one feel as if their spirit would become more comfortable listening to it.
"Sister, you’re awake." Though Li Qiyi’s complexion still seemed a bit pale, at least some color had returned.
You placed your hand on Li Qiyi’s smooth forehead, and after feeling it for a while, let out a light sigh of relief: "The fever should have subsided, but to be safe, we should still go to the nearby community health center for a check-up."
Li Qiyi just looked at you without responding to your words and instead asked, "Did you stay up all night?"
"Oh, me? It’s nothing, it’s quite normal." You smile, "All-nighters, I often do things like that."
"This will wear your body out!" A hint of reproach appeared on Li Qiyi’s beautiful face.
"It’s fine. I can just go back home and take a nap later. You get up first, and I’ll make you breakfast."
Without giving Li Qiyi a chance to speak, you stood up and left the room.
Watching your back, a warm smile filled with happiness crossed Li Qiyi’s face.
When Li Qiyi came out of the living room after freshening up, the dining table in the dining room already had a steaming bowl of multigrain porridge and some side dishes.
"Sister, come and eat. You’ve had a fever all night, and you need to replenish some vitality and the lost fluids."
Li Qiyi smiled and walked over to you, patting your shoulder and said with a smile, "I didn’t expect you to know quite a bit, kid."
Saying this, Li Qiyi sat down, gently used her delicate nose to take a whiff, and praised, "Smells so good."
"You can’t fill up just by smelling, eat it while it’s hot, and then I’ll take you to see the doctor."
At the mention of the doctor, just after taking a small sip of porridge with the porcelain spoon, Li Qiyi quickly turned her head and said, "I said only allow medicine, no shots."
"Okay, okay, you’re the elder sister, I’ll listen to you."
Knowing your sister’s fear of injections, you really had no way, not even mom could do anything about it.
"Hmm, it’s good." Li Qiyi said as she sipped the multigrain porridge and smiled at you.
"Why are you smiling?" You were puzzled by the laughter.
Li Qiyi didn’t explain further, gently shaking her captivating head said, "I like it, I’m happy."
"Of all these years, if there’s anything you’ve learned, it’s how to be a bit wild like mom."
"Oh—you dare to criticize mom, hmm, I’ll call and tell on you later."
Hearing this, you quickly cupped your hands to Li Qiyi: "I was just joking, hehe, sister, don’t take it seriously."
Li Qiyi happily looked at you, a sense of happiness showing on her face.
"Sister."
"Hmm?"
"You’re beautiful."
"Flattering without reason, either treacherous or thieving! Tell me, do you have something you want to ask me?"
"No, no, I just wanted to compliment you." You paused for a moment, then your face immediately lit up with a smile as bright as the sunlight outside, "Sister, have you been doing well these past years?"
Li Qiyi nodded slightly, "Pretty good. Although I’m the CEO’s personal secretary, I also have my own assistant, so there’s a lot I don’t have to worry about."
"Yeah, that’s good. I’ve also told mom before, if you’re not happy with your job, don’t force yourself."
Li Qiyi laughed upon hearing this, "If I don’t work, I won’t have anything to eat! If you don’t let me work, are you going to support me?"
You didn’t say anything, reaching into your pocket, taking out a small cardholder, and placing it in front of Li Qiyi, watching her silently.
"What’s this?" Li Qiyi looked at you with slight surprise.
"Take a look."
You didn’t answer immediately, instead allowing Li Qiyi to open the small cardholder.
Slightly curious, she opened the small cardholder, and inside was a nearly transparent crystal card. The crystal card was slightly smaller than a regular bank card, appearing more exquisite.
The so-called crystal card isn’t the specially made plastic commonly seen domestically; it’s a true Crystal Card!
Li Qiyi was also knowledgeable, taking the crystal card from its slot. The card felt slightly cool to the touch but not cold. Its craftsmanship seemed simple, thin as paper, the front and back surfaces both extremely smooth, with only an oddly shaped plant engraved at the upper left corner of the card, resembling both a flower and a grass, joined seamlessly.
Beneath the little plant were three English letters—UBS.
