“…!!”
Dia tidak menyangka bahwa semua usahanya sebelumnya sia-sia.
Jadi di masa depan dia harus menguasai dompet dewi itu, hanya untuk mendapatkan ciuman darinya?
Belum sempat pulih, Nian Xiaomu sudah melambaikan tangan dan berjalan menuju rumah sakit.
Dengan wajah muram, Yu Yuehan turun dari mobil, mendekatinya, dan mereka masuk ke rumah sakit bersama-sama.
Mengikuti informasi yang diberikan, mereka dengan cepat menemukan kamar Xing Li.
Kamar itu putih bersih.
Xing Li terbaring di tempat tidur rumah sakit. Seluruh anggota tubuhnya terikat erat oleh kain khusus, membuatnya tidak bisa bergerak sama sekali.
Perawat yang mengiringi mereka segera menjelaskan.
“Nona Xing sangat gelisah dan terus berusaha melepaskan diri; dia juga tidak mau bekerja sama saat pemeriksaan. Takut dia melukai orang lain maupun dirinya sendiri, dokter terpaksa menyuntikkan obat penenang untuk membatasi gerakannya.”
“Bisa kita masuk dan menemuinya sekarang?” Nian Xiaomu bertanya saat melihat Xing Li terbaring tak berdaya di tempat tidur.
Perawat itu mengangguk ramah dan berkata, “Nona Xing sudah tenang, seharusnya tidak ada masalah. Tapi coba jangan bicara soal yang bisa memicu emosinya. Aku di luar, panggil kalau ada masalah.”
Setelah Nian Xiaomu mengucapkan terima kasih, dia mendorong pintu kamar dan masuk.
Meski mata Xing Li terbuka lebar, tatapannya tertancap pada langit-langit—tak bisa ditebak apakah dia terjaga atau tidur.
Bagian wajahnya yang terbakar tertutup rambut panjang, dan sisi wajah yang terlihat tampak lebih lembut.
Hidupnya pasti benar-benar berbeda kalau dia tidak memilih jalan ekstrem ini…
Nian Xiaomu masih merasa sedikit empati pada Xing Li, mungkin karena mendengar betapa baiknya pasangan Xing memperlakukannya.
Dia tidak akan mengirim Xing Li ke penjara kalau tidak harus menghancurkannya.
“Siapa? Kalian siapa?” Orang yang tadi diam terbaring tiba-tiba melebarkan mata dan menatap ke arah mereka.
Melihat tatapan haus darah itu membuat hati kedinginan.
Yu Yuehan menarik Nian Xiaomu ke belakangnya untuk melindunginya.
Ingat Xing Li tidak bisa bergerak, dia jadi tenang. Sambil melepaskan genggamannya pada tangan Nian Xiaomu, dia mengamati dia berjalan perlahan ke arah Xing Li.
“Kudengar kamu ingin sekali bertemu denganku.”
“…”
Tatapan Xing Li tiba-tiba melunak mendengar suara Nian Xiaomu.
Dengan susah payah, dia duduk di tempat tidur.
Tangannya bergerak-gerak seolah ingin melakukan sesuatu. Tapi sadar kalau dia mengenakan gaun rumah sakit khusus dan tidak bisa bergerak sama sekali.
Dia hanya bisa mengangkat kepala dan menatap Nian Xiaomu. Mengangkat alis, dia tersenyum.
“Xingxing, kamu datang menemui kakak? Kakak rindu banget sama kamu. Mari dekat, biar kakak peluk…”
“…”
“Ini semua salah kakak, aku tidak seharusnya cemburu padamu. Ayah dan Ibu baik padamu punya alasan; karena kamu penyelamat Keluarga Xing, penyelamat…” Xing Li seolah dirasuk; sepertinya dia bicara ke Nian Xiaomu, tapi dari ekspresinya, dia lebih seperti bergumam sendiri.
Nian Xiaomu tercengang.
Saat dia ragu, dia tiba-tiba ingat peringatan Yu Yuehan di mobil tadi.
Dia bilang kalau Xing Li memang gila, mereka harus sering mengunjunginya.
Orang normal akan berbohong.
Orang gila tidak.
“Kakak? Kamu berhak jadi kakakku? Kamu ingin aku mati dari awal.”
Nian Xiaomu menata pandangannya, menarik kursi dan duduk di sisi tempat tidur. Lalu dia menyilangkan kaki dan bertanya dengan nada dingin, “Kamu bilang aku penyelamat Keluarga Xing. Beritahu aku, bagaimana aku bisa jadi penyelamat Keluarga Xing?”

“…!!”
He hadn’t expected that all of his previous efforts would go down the drain.
So did he have to control the goddess’s wallet in the future, just to get a kiss from her?
Before he could return to his senses, Nian Xiaomu had already waved her hands and walked towards the hospital.
With a long face, Yu Yuehan stepped out of the car, walked over to her, and they headed into the hospital together.
They followed the information, and managed to find Xing Li’s ward in no time.
The ward was stark white in color.
Xing Li was lying on the hospital bed. All her limbs were tied down so tightly by a special type of cloth, that she was unable to move at all.
The nurse who had followed them over explained this to them immediately.
“Ms Xing was very agitated and she kept on struggling; she did not cooperate with us for her checkups either. Afraid that she would hurt others as well as hurt herself, the doctor had no choice but to inject her with a tranquilizer to limit her mobility.”
“Can we go in and see her now?” Nian Xiaomu asked when she saw Xing Li, lying lifelessly on the bed.
The nurse nodded her head in a friendly manner and said, “Ms Xing has already calmed down, there shouldn’t be any problem However, try not to talk about anything that might agitate her. I’ll be outside, just call if there’s a problem.”
After Nian Xiaomu thanked the nurse, she pushed the door to the ward open and walked inside.
Even though Xing Li’s eyes were wide open, she kept her gaze completely fixated on the ceiling—you couldn’t tell if she was awake or sleeping.
The burnt part of her face was covered with her long hair, and there seemed to be an additional hint of gentleness on the side of her face that was revealed.
Her life would have been completely different if she had not walked this extreme path…
Nian Xiaomu still felt some empathy toward Xing Li, perhaps because she heard how well the Xing couple had treated her.
She would not send Xing Li to jail if she didn’t have to destroy her.
“Who? Who are you guys?” The person, who was silently lying on the bed a moment ago, seemed to have heard the footsteps. She suddenly widened her eyes and looked in their direction.
It chilled one’s heart to see her blood-thirsty gaze.
Yu Yuehan pulled Nian Xiaomu behind him to protect her.
When he remembered Xing Li’s restricted mobility it set his mind at ease. As he released his grip on Nian Xiaomu’s hand, he watched as she walked step by step to Xing Li.
“I heard that you have been wanting to see me.”
“…”
Xing Li’s gaze suddenly softened when she heard Nian Xiaomu’s voice.
Struggling, she sat up on her bed.
Her arms fidgeted and it seemed like she wanted to do something. However, she realized that she was wearing a special kind of hospital gown and could not move at all.
She could only lift her head and look at Nian Xiaomu. Raising her eyebrows, she smiled.
“Xingxing, you are here to see me? Elder sister misses you very much. Come over, let me hug you…”
“…”
“It’s all elder sister’s fault, I shouldn’t have been jealous of you. Daddy and Mummy were nice to you for a reason; that was because you are the benefactor of the Xing Family, the benefactor…” Xing Li appeared to have been possessed; it seemed like she was speaking to Nian Xiaomu, but judging from her expression, she appeared to be muttering to herself instead.
Nian Xiaomu was stunned.
Just when she was hesitating, she suddenly thought of Yu Yuehan’s reminder in the car before they came.
He had said that if Xing Li had indeed gone crazy, they should visit her more.
A normal person would lie.
A lunatic wouldn’t.
“Elder sister? Are you even my sister? You wanted me to die right from the start.”
As Nian Xiaomu collected her gaze, she pulled out the chair and sat beside the hospital bed. Then, she crossed her legs and asked in a chilly tone, “You said that I am the benefactor of the Xing Family. Tell me then, how did I become the benefactor of the Xing Family?”
