Sibling's Quarrel

Xia Zhihuai gently held Wanwan in his arms and lowered his head as they got into the car. He looked at Wanwan, who tightly grasped his shoulder, and placed her on his lap.

In a soft voice, he asked, “Wanwan, tell me what exactly happened?”

Wanwan shook her head, her thick, curly eyelashes hanging down.

Because she suddenly remembered the instructions given to her by Siming.

She couldn’t reveal the plot or let her brother know that she was undergoing a tribulation.

It would disturb his own journey.

After a few seconds of silence, Wanwan raised her gaze and looked into Xia Zhihuai’s worried eyes. She puffed up her cheeks.

“I missed you.”

Xu Wei, sitting in the front row, turned his head to look at Xia Zhihuai and Wanwan.

“By the way, did something happen on the set?”

“We were just about to go over when we heard the sound of an ambulance.”

“The situation on the set seemed chaotic, so I didn’t take her there.”

Zhang Chichi, sitting in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt and said to Xu Wei, “Mr. Xu, you don’t know, but Xiao Ting’s stunt double fell from the roof.”

“The wire suddenly snapped, and she fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. It was really terrifying.”

Xu Wei’s face slightly changed, his brows furrowing deeply. “Chen Wan? How is she doing? It couldn’t be a fatal accident, right?”

Xia Zhihuai held Wanwan tightly, his face turning slightly pale.

“She was still alive when the ambulance arrived.”

“But judging from the scene, her injuries are severe. It’s hard to say how she is doing right now.”

Xu Wei sighed, his mind filled with worries. “From the inception to the filming of ‘Moonlight City’, this production has truly been a journey of storms and hardships. It has never truly been peaceful.”

“And also, isn’t the luck of this production team a bit too unfortunate?”

“Brother’s luck is also quite bad,” Wanwan suddenly spoke up.

She reached her little hand towards Xia Zhihuai’s head, her small face tensed up, warning, “You can’t lean on brother’s back!”

Xia Zhihuai’s body stiffened, and he looked down at Wanwan.

“Wanwan, who are you talking to?”

“What do you mean I can’t lean on your back?”

Wanwan looked at Xia Zhihuai intently and answered truthfully, “It’s a ghost.”

She was actually a bit puzzled. After all, her brother was a divine sovereign.

Could it be that after his reincarnation as a human, he lost the ability to detect evil spirits?

…

Wanwan tilted her head and asked, “Brother, can’t you see a ghost?”

“It has always been following you.”

Xia Zhihuai and Xu Wei exchanged glances.

Both of them had varying degrees of panic in their eyes. Xia Zhihuai instinctively turned his head to look behind his shoulder, but nothing was there.

“Wanwan, are you playing a trick on me?”

His tone was filled with uncertainty.

Wanwan shook her head. “No, it really is a ghost.”

“It’s dark and thin, covered in ill fortune. Everyone is used to calling it the unlucky ghost.”

Xia Zhihuai’s body became even more rigid, and the hairs on his back stood on end. He looked at Xu Wei, touched his own shoulder, and asked, “Do you believe it?”

Xu Wei pondered for a moment. “It’s hard to say. Although I don’t believe, I do have reverence for these things.”

“I’ve heard from the elderly before that some children have a light destiny and a pure heart, allowing them to see things that adults can’t.”

Wanwan shook her head. “Wanwan’s destiny is not simple.”

“My master also said that Wanwan has deep blessings and an unending fortune.”

“Wanwan is a little peach fairy, naturally able to restrain evil spirits and see them from birth.”

“Brother, don’t be afraid. With Wanwan here, it won’t dare to harm you.”

At most, it will just make my brother a bit unlucky.

…

Wanwan’s words instead plunged Xu Wei into contemplation.

He turned to Xia Zhihuai and said, “Speaking of which, something happened this morning when I took Wanwan out.”

Wanwan immediately raised her hand and replied with a smile, “I know, Brother Xu Wei is talking about what happened to Brother Jia'nian.”

“Yes,” Xu Wei looked at Xia Zhihuai, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

“Wanwan told Zhong Jia'nian this morning not to go out today, to avoid passing a bridge, or else he would meet a tragic death.”

Xia Zhihuai lowered his gaze, looking at Wanwan, and adjusted her posture.

He spoke sternly, educating her, “Wanwan, do you know that what you said to the neighbor this morning was very impolite?”

Wanwan looked at Xia Zhihuai’s changing expression and shrunk her neck.

“But I didn’t say anything wrong. Is it wrong to tell the truth?”

This time, Xia Zhihuai’s tone was very severe, “Wanwan, I don’t know where you learned such unorthodox things.”

“But you’re still young, you should go to school and receive an education.”

“Religion can be a belief, but in our daily lives, we should emphasize science and materialism, and not promote feudal superstitions.”

Wanwan listened, feeling confused and almost as if she were in a fog.

“What are science and materialism?”

Xia Zhihuai, a poor student, replied, “…You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Xia Zhihuai looked at the sulking Wanwan for a while, but she didn’t respond.

He leaned down to her little face and saw her pouting with teardrops hanging from her long eyelashes, and his heart suddenly panicked.

Crying?

She was crying just after that?

He didn’t say anything harsh, did he?

Why was she crying?

Tear drops, like little beans, fell onto the back of his hand, and Xia Zhihuai immediately became flustered.

He reached out to Xu Wei, urging him, “Give me some tissue, quickly!”

Xu Wei looked at Wanwan, who had her back turned to him, and glanced at her before handing the tissue to Xia Zhihuai.

“She’s still a child, you were too serious, it must have scared her!”

Xia Zhihuai used the tissue to wipe away Wanwan’s tears.

Wanwan turned her head away, climbed down from his lap, and sat alone in the corner, wiping her tears with her sleeve.

She wouldn’t apologize!

Her brother was wrong.

She didn’t do anything wrong, so why should she apologize?

Wanwan had red-rimmed eyes, feeling a little aggrieved.

Azure Dragon brother wasn’t as doting on her as before.

Clearly, he had said before that Wanwan was the cutest and the best child in the world!

She didn’t want to help her brother deal with the unlucky ghosts anymore. Let him be unlucky.

As he continued to be unlucky… he would realize that Wanwan wasn’t lying.

…

Wanwan rubbed her eyes and refused to look at Xia Zhihuai, who was at a loss beside her.

Xia Zhihuai had been single for twenty years and had never regretted anything as much as he did now.

Why did he have to say such harsh words?

Wanwan had just come out of the Qi family, the den of wolves, she must have learned those things from the people in the Qi family!

Children don’t have such clear views of right and wrong and values. It’s all taught by adults.

Teaching children should be done step by step, he was too impatient.

Wanwan usually listened well, and he even went to pick her up from the set, but ended up making her cry like this.

He was guilty.

How could he make Wanwan forgive him?

Xia Zhihuai reached out to touch Wanwan, but she avoided him.

It’s over! She was really angry.
