"Upstairs." Chen Xuyao pointed in the direction of Jiang Yao's room and said, "She said she went up to feed the baby, but she's been up for a while now."
Lu Xingzhi took off his soaked jacket and wiped his hair with a dry towel as he headed upstairs.
"Wife?" Lu Xingzhi shouted at the door and turned the doorknob to open the door. As soon as he walked in, he saw Jiang Yao changing the baby's diaper. She must have heard his voice because she stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him.
Lu Xingzhi strode over and bent down to peck Jiang Yao on the lips. "Rest on the side. I'll do it."
"Your hands are too cold. Don't touch the baby." Jiang Yao was not happy about it. She pushed Lu Xingzhi, who was about to carry the baby, to the side. "Go downstairs and eat something first. I'll take the baby downstairs to keep you company once I'm done changing the baby's diaper."
"I'm not hungry." Lu Xingzhi hugged Jiang Yao from behind. "Were you scared this afternoon?"
It would have been better if Lu Xingzhi hadn't asked. As soon as he did, the image of Jiang Lei being planted in the snow surfaced in Jiang Yao's mind.
She was afraid that Lu Xingzhi would be worried, so she didn't answer. She just bit her lip and continued to change the baby's diaper as if nothing had happened.
Before Jiang Yao could answer, Lu Xingzhi turned Jiang Yao's body around. When he saw Jiang Yao biting her lip with red eyes, he felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart.
"Where's Brother Tingrui?" Lu Xingzhi reached out and carefully held Jiang Yao's face. "Is Brother Tingrui hurt?"
All the emotions in Jiang Yao's heart suddenly poured out as if a wall was missing.
"When I arrived, he was planted in the snow like a big radish by Mr. Dai and the rest. His face was beaten to a pulp. When I saw him, he even wanted to tell me his last words. He said that he didn't think he would live for much longer." Jiang Yao broke down crying. "His frostbite was very serious. He almost died. I almost couldn't save him."
Jiang Yao threw herself into Lu Xingzhi's arms and sobbed softly. "Even when he was about to die, he still told me not to blame myself. He blamed me for taking the risk for him. I'm not his biological sister, but I'm a burden to him. I got him arrested, beaten, and almost lost his life. Even if he blamed me, called me a jinx, or blamed me, at least I would feel better. The better he treats me, the more I feel sorry for him."
Jiang Yao didn't even know how to tell her parents about this. Jiang Lei was on a business trip abroad, but he almost died because of her.
"What do you mean by biological? In his eyes, you're his biological sister. Sometimes, blood relations aren't that important. In his eyes, you're his biological sister who he watched grow up. " Lu Xingzhi could understand Jiang Lei's feelings. Jiang Lei didn't feel estranged from Jiang Yao just because she was adopted by Father Jiang and Mother Jiang. In his heart, Jiang Lei only doted on his younger sister a little more because of Jiang Yao's bitter background.
If he had fallen into that trap, he wouldn't have wanted Jiang Yao to take the risk to save him.
"The better Second Brother treats me, the more guilty I feel." It was this guilt that made Jiang Yao want to kill that group of people at that moment.
Lu Xingzhi hugged Jiang Yao and patted her back silently. She just needed him to accompany her now. She needed him to hold her.
