1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 506 The sisters' matter is settled, a letter is sent to the southern border (Seeking double monthly votes)
"Doctor, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Don't worry, comrade, there's no need to be nervous. He just suffered from hypothermia and low blood sugar, which caused him to faint."

"Rest for a while, then wait for the glucose solution to be administered."

"Excuse me, thank you."

"Unkind."

The doctor gently shook his head, and his soft black ponytail swayed gently behind his head.

As the dark clouds outside the window parted, casting a cold light, she curiously observed the young man in front of her, whose expression seemed to convey both deep relief and lingering fear.

I really don't know who this young man is.
Even the vice president of the hospital came over to personally examine the two sisters.

It must be some kind of second generation, right?

What is his relationship with these two sisters?
When they brought them in, their eyes were red and they were yelling for the doctor; it was really scary.

She carried her older sister on her back and held her petite and frail younger sister in her arms.

My hair, clothes, and my whole body were soaked through by the rain.

His clothes were covered in yellowish mud and scarlet blood.

And that unbelievably beautiful face, filled with anxiety and heartache, along with guilt and self-reproach.

Are they siblings, or what?
Thinking of this, the female doctor glanced discreetly at the two slender, beautiful sisters lying quietly on the bed, one big and one small.

A chill ran through me, and I quickly stopped thinking about it.

"Comrade, I won't disturb the patient's rest. If you need anything, just call me. I'm in the duty room."

The female doctor coughed lightly, turned around and left.

"Well, please."

Cheng Kaiyan had no idea what strange things the female doctor in front of her was thinking, and she saw her off in a somewhat chaotic mood.

"Crack!"

A cool breeze blew through the door as it closed.

The ward fell silent again.

It was as if a switch had been flipped in Cheng Kaiyan's heart, and her calm and composed emotions began to fluctuate slowly.

He silently walked between the two hospital beds, sat on a stool, and looked at the two girls sleeping peacefully on the beds with a complicated expression.

The stains and bloodstains on their bodies had been cleaned and treated by the nurse.

He was wearing a clean hospital gown, with an IV drip in his hand.

Her sweet and lovely face was a little pale, her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a gauze on her forehead.

Even when unconscious, she was unusually quiet and obedient, as delicate as a tender flower bud swaying in the wind and rain.

It makes one feel sorry for and pity them.

Therefore, he came to Chaoyang Welfare Home on his own initiative today.

First, notify them to join the Hope Project and conduct an investigation and understanding of the welfare home's operation in advance.

Secondly, it was for the sake of the two sisters, Xiao Li and Xiao He.

After the visit, he asked Dean Jiang Yun for the address of the family that had adopted the two sisters, and they decided to go and visit the sisters together.

Let's see how she's doing in her new family.

Who would have thought that this would happen?

Fortunately, it was raining today, but Cheng Kaiyan still came and arrived in time.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Xiaohe... I'm sorry."

Cheng Kaiyan looked down at the petite girl beside her, reached out and held her cool, soft little hand, and gently called her name.

They have known each other for two years, though they have only met a few times, maybe three or four times in those two years.

But every time Cheng Kaiyan sees them, she can see a reflection of her former self in them.

The two sisters supported each other and depended on each other for survival, like wild grass growing in the field, living weakly yet tenaciously in this corner of the world.

With their parents gone, there is no one left in this world who will truly care for them like family.

Even if Cheng Kaiyan felt great pity for the two sisters, this was still the case.

All he could do was provide them with decent material conditions and a little bit of emotional support and care.

But they were never truly family.

Ultimately, there are areas where things are not done well or are insufficient.

Just like this time.

After March, Cheng Kaiyan was indeed preoccupied with too many things and neglected the two sisters, including their living expenses...

Awards, trips to Japan, filming movies, the snowfall, engagement, finishing and revising the manuscript of "Atonement," dissertations, charitable donations...

He felt deeply guilty about this.

But does it work?
For orphans like the two sisters, the lack of any care or hope is enough to deprive them of an important support in life and drive them to extremes.

They could have endured the darkness, but having seen the light, they could no longer endure it.

Just like children in orphanages, who are not allowed to be held, once they come into contact with a warm and comforting embrace, they can no longer bear the loneliness and lack of love.

Cheng Kaiyan was well aware of this.

Therefore, seeing that it was raining heavily today, the older sister carried her younger sister and ran out of the house in the rain, eventually collapsing to the ground due to exhaustion.

He already understood that he held a very important place in the hearts of the two sisters, even subconsciously occupying a significant position.

He was one of the pillars that helped them to live and keep going in this world.

"call……"

Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath, gazed at the girl's face, tenderly stroked her pale eyebrows and warm eyes, and murmured in a slightly trembling voice:
"Xiaohe, I'm sorry... It's all my fault. Why didn't I come to see you sooner... Why did I break my promise to take care of you forever..."

Swish--

A slight itch came from my palm, and through the gaps between my fingers, I could see two thick eyelashes, like butterfly wings, fluttering slowly.

"Brother...please don't be sad. Xiaohe doesn't blame you, she really doesn't blame you..."

The little girl's tender and delicate voice rang in my ears.

Her beautiful, almost eerily pink cherry blossom eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

The eyes reflected joy, happiness, and a sense of security and attachment.

Cheng Kaiyan almost felt guilty and looked away, unable to meet her gaze.

Recently, people have been saying that he has a heart as pure as crystal, but in his opinion, no one has a purer heart than this seven or eight-year-old girl.

"Xiao He, you're awake? Are you feeling any better?"

Cheng Kaiyan lowered her voice, afraid that even the slightest sound would disturb this pure and delicate little flower bud.

"It's alright now, Xiaohe's hand is being held by her brother, it's so warm, hee hee..."

The little girl gently shook her head, a joyful and lively smile blooming on her pale face, but the next second, she coughed with a pained expression.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Kaiyan quickly patted the girl's chest to relieve her cough.

"Phew... Brother, isn't Xiaohe useless? She can't do anything and only causes trouble for others..."

The little girl pouted and said in a low voice.

Although she was wallowing in self-pity, Cheng Kaiyan could still detect a hint of a little girl's coquettishness seeking comfort.

Cheng Kaiyan sighed softly to herself, and said with a gentle smile, "Of course not, Xiaohe is very capable. Just now, brother was so sad and upset."

Seeing Xiaohe's smile right now instantly soothes my soul.

"It seems...yes."

The little girl blinked, and after a moment's delay, she realized it.

"So my brother really needs Xiao He. Whenever he sees Xiao He's happy smile, my brother will be happy too."

Cheng Kaiyan ruffled the girl's hair, and strangely, it was only slightly wet.

It must be thanks to my older sister, Little Carp, right?

"That's good!"

The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Alright, let's rest a little longer. Anyway, with your brother here, Xiaohe and her sister don't need to worry about anything anymore. Your brother will take care of everything."

Cheng Kaiyan's eyes were full of smiles. Self-blame and guilt were useless. What she really needed to do now was to shoulder the responsibility.

"Ok!"

Xu He nodded heavily, still completely trusting and reassured Cheng Kaiyan.

In her eyes, her brother and sister were the two people in the world who treated her the best.

"Go to sleep, baby."

"Hehe, am I my brother's darling?"

"Of course!"

"Can I hear a story? I can't seem to fall asleep..."

The little girl looked pitifully at her older brother with her cherry-pink eyes and pleaded.

"How about we talk about Totoro then?"

"Yeah……"

"Once upon a time, in the far south, there was a magical primeval forest, inhabited by animal spirits called Totoro..."

The rain was falling softly outside the window, tapping against the glass and leaving faint rain streaks.

Inside the ward, a soft, warm voice slowly echoed around.

The little girl on the hospital bed was open and honest, while the older girl listened quietly, her eyes fixed on her brother telling the story.

Finally, they both drifted off to sleep.

The sisters' soft lips curved in a contented smile, and their pale faces regained color.

They are very simple, so simple that they can survive with just a little care and attention.

"But this time, it's not just a little bit..."

...Cheng Kaiyan finished telling the story, and it was already eleven o'clock.

When they came to the hospital, Cheng Kaiyan stayed here to take care of the two sisters.

Director Jiang Yun and the teachers from the welfare home went to the home that had adopted the two sisters.

First, we informed the two sisters of the situation.

Secondly, in their view, the adoptive family is also responsible for this situation, and they believe that an investigation is necessary to find out the cause.

It may sound like a serious matter, but for adopted children, the welfare home's follow-up visits and accountability are very effective and provide strong protection.

"They should be here by now."

Cheng Kaiyan silently kissed Xiao He's peaceful and delicate sleeping face, then got up and looked back.

Five or six people suddenly appeared at the door of the ward and stood there quietly looking at him.

"When will you..."

Before Cheng Kaiyan could finish speaking, she saw Dean Jiang Yun and a group of teachers silencing her and pointing outside the ward.

As Cheng Kaiyan left the ward, she saw a familiar, shrewd-looking middle-aged woman.

I met Zhu Xizhi at the hospital in March.

The man with the slightly dark skin and square face, looking at her with a complicated expression, was clearly her husband.

The two seemed to have a lot to say to each other.

They found a quiet, empty hospital room and planned to have a proper, honest talk.

There were no loud arguments or angry shouts in the ward during that time.

Everything is very quiet.

The conversation lasted only half an hour before it ended.

Cheng Kaiyan learned the details of the matter and briefly explained her own situation.

With many teachers from the welfare home as witnesses, both sides reached a mutual understanding. There was nothing to argue about; everyone's ultimate goal was to ensure that the two children grew up healthy and happy.

"Comrade Cheng Kaiyan, I'm so sorry, we misunderstood you before."

"It's true that I didn't do a good enough job..."

"Now everyone's happy. I've watched Xiaohe and Xiaoliyu grow up. With both of your families taking care of them, it's finally a blessing in disguise..."

……

At noon, both sisters woke up.

After receiving an injection and having a good night's sleep, both girls looked much better and were in better spirits.

After learning the cause and details of the incident, she received not only the support and care of her older brother, but also the care of the welfare home and the love of her adoptive parents.

"Sister, we have a home now, we have three homes!"

The little girl laughed and shouted happily.

Upon hearing her younger sister's voice, tears welled up in the older sister's eyes. Then, amidst the gentle gazes and caring smiles of the crowd, she shyly lowered her head.

At noon, everyone had lunch at the hospital.

In the afternoon, the two sisters, who were fine, were discharged from the hospital.

Cheng Kaiyan took them to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, paid for the custom-made lenses, and had them undergo vision and blood tests.

Finally, I've put an end to my worries and made up for my guilt.

On their way back, the three of them walked along the bustling Wangfujing commercial street.

Cheng Kaiyan held the two sisters' soft little hands in her own and led them to the store, where they bought some clothes and shoes.

Of course, there are also pretty little dresses and pretty sandals.

On their way home, the three of them held hands and walked briskly down the main road.

As I watched the dark clouds gradually dissipate in the sky, I felt only an unbridled sense of openness and a feeling of ease that was no longer hindered.

The future lies at their feet.

……

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in southern Xinjiang, far from the capital.

Deep in the mountains and forests, the cement buildings of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, with the national flag and military flag appearing and disappearing amidst the lush and vibrant green forests.

"This Comrade Cheng Kaiyan is truly remarkable! Did you all read yesterday's People's Daily?"

"What's wrong? Who is it?"

"Didn't you see? It's Cheng Kaiyan, the pianist from our cultural troupe. She even received the title of Battlefield Art Pioneer last year!"

"It's him! What happened to him?"

"On the 28th of last month, Comrade Cheng Kaiyan donated US$250,000 to the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation! Even the daughter of a Hong Kong tycoon is not as wealthy as him!"

"How much?! Two hundred and fifty thousand?! And in US dollars?!"

In the military canteen, a group of comrades dressed in military green sat by the window, huddled around a newspaper, chatting and gossiping.

Not far away, near an orange tree, sat two young women.

Among them was a petite and delicate young woman in her late twenties, wearing a white coat.

That dull, lifeless yet beautiful face, for some unknown reason, displayed a faint smile.

"Sister Qingshui, is Cheng Kaiyan really that rich? Two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars is several million RMB, and he just donated it like that?"

Zhuo Yun stared with her big, bright eyes, her two braids swinging back and forth behind her head, and exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, he has changed a lot since then."

Lin Qingshui rested her chin on her hand, a faint sadness flashing in her dull and lifeless eyes.

The gap is widening, and the levels are becoming increasingly different.

Such a gap will only make their interactions smaller and smaller.

We don't know when we'll suddenly lose contact.

It's quite possible that there will be no further news.

But despite the sadness, I am deeply moved by the great achievements this boy, whom I have cared for and raised since he was fourteen or fifteen, has now made.

Lin Qingshui felt more proud and honored than anything else. This was the man she had raised—a man of great stature, both scholarly and martial!

"Tsk tsk, what are you so smug about! You're all cocky! It's a good thing your brother isn't in the military region, otherwise you'd be ruling the world!"

"Sister Fen, her younger brother has probably forgotten about her completely."

Just then, two middle-aged women in white coats carrying trays passed by, stopped, and said sourly.

Lin Qingshui remained expressionless and sullen, as if she hadn't heard anything, and continued eating her meal.

Zhuo Yun glared at them angrily, "You two gossipy women, what nonsense are you spouting!"

These two are elderly people at the hospital, and they are colleagues of Sister Shimizu.

One is the deputy head nurse, and the other is a doctor.

Last month, the two introduced Lin Qingshui to a potential marriage.

The man's personal circumstances were extremely poor; he was unattractive, with a flat nose and a round face, but his family had some power, as he was the son of a leader in the hospital.

Lin Qingshui refused without even thinking about it.

This infuriated the two middle-aged women. Zhuo Yun guessed that they had probably received a large gift from the man's family.

If you're rejected now, of course you won't get it.

"You little brat, you're from the performing arts troupe, aren't you? I'm going to tell your teacher Chen on you in a minute! What kind of upbringing is this! You have no shame!"

"that is!"

The two middle-aged women, speaking in unison, turned their attention to the silent Lin Qingshui.

"Qingshui, tell me, why didn't you take the job that Chunsheng introduced to you last time?"
You're already twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, you're practically an old maid, why aren't you married yet!
With your wooden, lifeless personality, even if you're beautiful, who could stand you? If it weren't for Chunsheng being interested in you, you'd be a lonely widow for life!

"No wonder your brother is so rich and famous, yet he didn't bring you to Beijing to enjoy a life of luxury."

"It seems that an adopted sister is still an adopted sister, not as good as a biological sister. She's forgotten everything in the blink of an eye!"

The two women continued their sarcastic and unforgiving remarks.

"Bang!!"

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out from the cafeteria.

Lin Qingshui suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up. Her usually expressionless face finally showed a hint of anger.

This immediately stunned the two women.

"You brat! No wonder you're from Sichuan, you've got quite a temper!"

What's wrong with saying a few words to you?

But soon, realizing they had been frightened, the two became enraged, their faces flushed red, and they hurled even more vile and sarcastic insults at each other.

Just then, a communications soldier jogged over from the canteen entrance.

He shouted, "Is Comrade Lin Qingshui in the canteen? Is Comrade Lin Qingshui from the General Hospital here?!"

In an instant, thousands of people in the cafeteria all turned to look at them.

"Comrade, I'm here."

Lin Qingshui raised his hand in acknowledgment.

The communications soldier noticed and jogged over, handing him a letter: "Comrade Lin Qingshui, the Organization Department of the Military Region is issuing a formal notification that your organizational affiliation has been officially transferred to the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation in Beijing, in accordance with orders from higher authorities!"

"The organizational affiliation has been transferred to the capital?!"

"Comrade Lin Qingshui is going to be taken to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury? Won't he become a resident of the capital? My goodness! It's so good to have a great writer brother!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly filled with envy and jealousy.

Even the two middle-aged women who were just cursing loudly now looked as ugly as if they had eaten a dead child, and the four dogs' eyes were so shocked they almost popped out.

"Children and Youth Foundation!"

At this moment, Zhuo Yun exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't that the foundation that Cheng Kaiyan donated to? Could it be... that Cheng Kaiyan donated 250,000 US dollars just to transfer Sister Qingshui's organizational affiliation?!"

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spine upon hearing this.

Donating so much money just to get my sister transferred to Beijing?!
This sudden event rendered everyone incapable of thinking.
