"I'll leave you here." Jin Miao reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt, opened the car door, and was about to leave when the person in the driver's seat reached out and grabbed him.

"what?"

"Shouldn't I go upstairs to see your brother?"

"What are you looking at?" Jin Miao slapped his hand away. "My brother hasn't been feeling well lately, so I can't talk to him about this kind of thing. Don't worry, I'll tell him when he's feeling better."

"Ah?" Xiao He looked regretful. "I was thinking about how to please your brother. Isn't it said that getting past the brother-in-law is the hardest? What if your brother doesn't like me?"

"What did you do? Why doesn't my brother like you?"

"I...I'm not as good-looking as your brother?"

Jin Miao: "..."

"Stop thinking about all that nonsense. As long as you're a normal person and treat me well, how could my brother not like you?" Jin Miao made him open the trunk and took out the food and Chinese medicine she had brought for her brother. "Just leave it here. Don't come with me. If my brother goes downstairs for a walk and bumps into you, you're doomed."

"Okay." Xiao He's hair drooped down, looking disappointed at not seeing his brother-in-law.

"Okay." Jin Miao cupped Xiao Heyi's face and kissed him. "Don't overthink it. You're my only boyfriend. I'll definitely introduce you to my brother, but not now."

"You weren't just making empty promises to me, were you?"

“How could that be?” Jin Miao said. “You know my brother’s condition is really bad right now. I’m afraid he might get emotional if he finds out. Please listen to me.”

"Yes, ma'am!" Xiao He said cheerfully. "Then go upstairs, I'll wait for you in the car."

"What are you doing by the window?" An Yi leaned closer to look out the window. "Move back a bit, it's cold by the window."

Jin He responded and sat down on her bed, wrapping herself in the blanket.

"Xiao Miao will be here in a bit." An Yi placed the sliced ​​apple next to Jin He. "Have some afternoon tea first."

Jin He seemed not to hear, remaining silent while wrapped in the blanket.

"What’s wrong with you?"

“An Yi…” Jin He asked softly, “Twenty-two years old… shouldn’t you be able to date? Isn’t it a bit too early to date at 22?”

An Yi immediately became alert. After all, twenty-two years old is a very sensitive age. Jin Miao is just that age this year, and when the driver picked her up from school a while ago, he mentioned to him that Jin Miao seemed to be getting very close to a boy.

"Why are you asking this?" An Yi asked tentatively.

“I just feel that Xiao Miao is indeed at the age where she can date.” Jin He’s voice was low. “She does seem like an adult, but I still feel like she’s a little girl.”

"Do you need some medicine?" An Yi bent down to look at him and reached out to feel his pulse on his neck. "Your heartbeat is okay."

“I’m not feeling unwell,” Jin He said.

"Isn't this what you wanted to see? What have you been doing all these years for? Wasn't it just to let Xiao Miao grow up healthily? Now she's an adult, studying for a master's degree, planning for her future, and dating. Those are all her own choices. Don't worry too much."

“Well…” Jin He opened her mouth, “If you have a boyfriend, you should at least bring him over so your brother can meet him.”

"She's probably worried you won't be able to handle it, or that it might upset your heart." An Yi reached out and touched Jin He's face, which had finally gained some weight recently. "If you really care about this, why don't you talk to Xiao Miao about it when she comes up later?"

Jin He thought this was a good idea; it was better to resolve things face-to-face. So when Jin Miao entered the ward carrying large and small bags, she saw her brother sitting on the hospital bed with an oxygen tube attached to his nose, turning his head to look at her.

"Xiao Miao, who was the boy who came downstairs with you just now? I saw you kiss his cheek."

Jin Miao's legs went weak, and she nearly tripped over her own feet.

"Tell me, are you in a relationship?"

Xiao He had just finished playing a game in the car when Jin Miao called him upstairs. He was naturally nervous about suddenly having to meet his brother-in-law, so he quickly bought a fruit basket and two boxes of milk downstairs at the hospital.

When Jin He became famous throughout the country, he was still in junior high school. How could he not know Jin He? So when he learned that Jin Miao was his younger sister, he suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the seedlings are so beautiful.

In his mind, Jin He should be a glamorous and strikingly beautiful superstar. Even if she was in poor health and had faded from the spotlight, she should still be high and mighty. However, he did not expect that as soon as he entered the door, Jin He was sitting on the sofa with an oxygen tube hanging on her face. Her thin body leaned against the sofa like a piece of paper, and her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent. Hearing the noise at the door, she turned her head to look over.

This scene gave Xiao He a tremendous visual impact.

Because Xiao Miao often showed him photos of Jin He from his previous stages. Back then, Jin He was radiant. Although he was still rather thin, his arms and abdomen were covered with a thin layer of muscle when he moved. The young man had a tall and straight posture, looking very powerful, and sometimes beads of sweat would drip down his hair.

It was only then that Xiao He realized, quite directly, how poor the big star's health had become.

"Please sit down." Seeing that Xiao Heyi was still standing there in a daze, Jin He politely pointed to the sofa next to him. An Yi went over and took the gift from Xiao Heyi's hand. Only then did Xiao Heyi realize that there was a real superstar in the room!

However, he didn't dare to react too much, after all, the nervousness of meeting his brother-in-law had overwhelmed everything else.

Xiao He sat down uneasily, his palms sweating profusely. He secretly rubbed his hands on his knees.

"Ah, Jinhe, hello. My name is Xiao Heyi, and I'm Xiao Miao's college classmate."

"Hello," Jin He said, "You and Xiao Miao are now..."

"Ah, she's my boyfriend."

"..."

"Oh, no, I'm her girlfriend. Oh, no, I mean, well, we're boyfriend and girlfriend."

Jin Miao covered her face, utterly humiliated. She was doomed; this guy had completely disgraced her.

My brother probably thinks he's an idiot.

Unexpectedly, Jin He was amused by his reaction and smiled, "Ah, I see. You don't need to be too nervous. Xiao Miao is indeed at the age where she should be dating. I won't make things difficult for you. How many years have you two been together?"

"It's been six or seven years, hasn't it?"

Jin He's smile froze instantly: "How many years?"

"It's been six or seven years." Xiao He chuckled sheepishly. "We've known each other since our senior year of high school. I originally planned to study abroad, but I specifically chose Ocean University for Xiao Miao..."

"Senior year of high school, eighteen years old." Jin He smiled as she looked at this year's student. "Eighteen years old?"

Jin Miao scratched her head, looking quite embarrassed. "Brother..."

"You were with him when you were eighteen?"

"Actually, we weren't really together. I had a crush on him when I was eighteen... but I was studying back then, so it wasn't until I went to university that we started dating..."

"An Yi!" Jin He clutched his heart. "No, get me a nitroglycerin pill right now!"

Jin Miao was shocked: "Hey! Brother!"
