Chapter 4

Hospital A is located on the outskirts of City B. Ye Xiu need approximately one hour to reach Hospital A. The hospital is small, and not as packed as the hospital in the center of City B. As soon as he arrived, he rushed to the reception desk.

The receptionist is a middle-aged woman. She was sitting there enjoying her tea when Ye Xiu knocked rapidly on the desk. Startled, she looked up. Ye Xiu's mouth was set in a grim line. His black eyes stared unmovingly at the receptionist. Seeing that the lady had noticed him, opened his mouth.

"I want to visit someone by the name-"

He has yet to finish his sentence when he felt a pat on his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw a person around his height wearing a cap, mouth mask, and a big eyeglass to boot. He frowned as he looked at the eyes. They look familiar.

Out of habit, he glanced at the person's left ear. He spotted a mole right at the center of the earlobe. He blinked two times and his eyes met with the person's eyes again. The eyes shine brightly as if having fun. Ye Xiu's eyebrow twitched as he stared at this person.

Behind them, the receptionist looked at Ye Xiu and the person confusedly.

"Sir?" she called Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu blinked and turned back to the receptionist. He then smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, there is no need anymore," he said.

After that, he dragged the guy to the waiting area. He turned to look at this guy from head to toe. Convinced that the person in front of him is alright with four limbs intact, he quietly let out a relieved sigh.

A low chuckle was heard.

"You think I was dying?" The person gave an eye smile, deep voice was heard.

Ye Xiu scowled. "Who was it that sent that vague message?"

"I didn't say I was admitted." The person shrugged.

"But you didn't reply to me when I said I'm on my way." Ye Xiu's scowl deepened.

"I was busy." Again, the person shrugged. "My junior was the one being admitted."

Ye Xiu's face back to his usual composed expression. "I thought you said you'll be busy in the next 72 hours. It's not even 24 hours since then."

The person looked around for a moment before beckoned Ye Xiu to follow. "This isn't the appropriate place to talk. Let's find somewhere else." The person whispered as they walked to a more secluded place outside the hospital.

As they walked side by side, Ye Xiu's eyes fell to the top of the person's cap. Memories of the past rushed inside his head. The memories of his childhood where he, Ye Qiu, and this person stand side by side. He couldn't help it but blurt out.

"Are you getting shorter? I can see the top of your head now."

Only to meet a heated glare from the person. Ye Xiu just smiled in mirth.

Both Ye Xiu and the person sat on a bench under a tree. The person took off the cap. From there, long black hair fell to the shoulder.

"How did you realize that was me?" The previously deep voice is now changed to a medium pitch woman's voice. As the person asked, she took off the mask and glasses as well. Soon after, Ye Xiu can see the real appearance of the person.

A young adult woman. Black shoulder-length hair. A pair of black eyes. When she smiled, the dimples on both of her cheeks show up.

And most importantly, the mole on her left earlobe. The only reason why she didn't pierce her left ear.

The woman in front of him right now doesn't differ much with the girl in his memories.

This is one of the people that have been supporting him both in the light and in the shadow. His one and only sister, his other triplet, Ye Xue.
