Qiao Jiusheng drove Fang Yusheng’s Volkswagen to the hospital alone.

With a fruit basket in her hands, Qiao Jiusheng looked for Qiao Jiuyin’s ward.

When she found the ward and entered it, Qiao Jiuyin was still sleeping.

Qiao Jiuyin had not worn a hospital gown. Instead, she had a red sweater on her. A blanket covered most of her body, revealing her delicate and pretty face. As she had vomited due to her pregnancy, Qiao Jiuyin did not look too good. She looked a little pale, and her lips were dry.

Qiao Jiusheng glanced at Qiao Jiuyin’s red sweater and pursed her lips.

Qiao Jiuyin liked plain colors, and her wardrobe had few bright clothes. Qiao Jiusheng, on the other hand, loved bright and beautiful colors. The red sweater Qiao Jiuyin had worn today was the Dior Autumn Winter sweater that Qiao Jiusheng had bought last year.

Last winter at Christmas, Qiao Jiusheng had even worn this and gone on a date with Fang Mu.

A vicious aura shrouded her heart, and Qiao Jiusheng’s eyes turned gloomy.

Qiao Jiuyin was not in a deep sleep, and she vaguely sensed that someone was watching her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a bright yellow figure standing at the end of the bed. Qiao Jiuyin opened her eyes wide, and her vision finally became clear. She saw the person’s face clearly.

It was her sister-in-law, Qi Yunsheng.

Qiao Jiusheng was dressed in a thin red-and-white-striped sweater. The sweater clung tightly to her body, tightly wrapping her slender waist and proud chest in a sexy way. She had also worn a grayish-blue gauze skirt and a bright yellow autumn windbreaker. Her outfit inexplicably made Qiao Jiuyin feel that she looked familiar, like… Xiao Sheng.

Qiao Jiuyin frowned. Just as she wondered why she associated her sister-in-law with her younger sister, she heard Qiao Jiusheng ask, “You’re awake. Do you want some water?”

Qiao Jiuyin kept her doubts to herself.

It’s impossible. This person’s appearance and voice are different from Xiao Sheng’s. Perhaps, she just happens to have the same taste in clothes as Xiao Sheng.

“Then, I’ll have to trouble you, Elder Sister-In-Law,” Qiao Jiuyin said to Qiao Jiusheng after regaining her senses.

Qiao Jiusheng washed the cup and poured Qiao Jiuyin half a cup of warm water. She then passed the cup to her.

Qiao Jiuyin stretched out her slender right hand and took the warm water. She took a sip, then leaned against the headboard and lay down. She looked up at Qiao Jiusheng and asked, “Sister-in-law, how long have you been here?”

“I just arrived. I saw that you were resting, so I did not wake you up.”

Qiao Jiusheng opened the fruit basket and continued, “Do you like honey pomelo? I bought one for you. Do you want to try it?” Honey pomelo was Qiao Jiusheng’s favorite fruit, but not Qiao Jiuyin’s. Qiao Jiuyin’s favorites were cherries and honey melons.

Qiao Jiuyin glanced at the honey pomelo in Qiao Jiusheng’s hand, and a dark glint flashed across her eyes.

“Nah, give me an orange.”

“Alright.” Qiao Jiusheng smiled, picked a bright orange, and passed it to her.

Qiao Jiuyin peeled the orange herself while Qiao Jiusheng sat by the bed.

After observing the ward, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said, “The ‘Sheng’ in your name is the same as mine.”

Qiao Jiuyin’s hand paused.

She turned her head and looked at the medical record on her bed. After staring at the word “Sheng” for a moment, she sighed in a tone that could not be described as that of shock or surprise. “What a coincidence! So you are also this Sheng.”

“Yes, isn’t it fate?” Qiao Jiusheng said that and flashed a bright smile at Qiao Jiuyin. She then innocently asked, “It’s too formal to call you sister-in-law. I’ll call you Xiao Sheng from now on, okay?”

Qiao Jiuyin looked at the beautiful smile on Qiao Jiusheng’s lips and panicked.

This panic came inexplicably, and Qiao Jiuyin herself could not understand the reason for it.

Suppressing the panic in her heart, she softly replied, “Okay.”

“I heard that you’re pregnant with twins.” Qiao Jiusheng looked at Qiao Jiuyin’s stomach. It was flat, but there were two little lives inside it. She gently smiled and jokingly said, “That’s great. Xiao Sheng, you have a twin sister, right? Does the probability of having twins also pass down?”

Qiao Jiusheng had joked, but Qiao Jiuyin forced a smile.

Who did not know that Qiao Jiusheng’s elder sister, Qiao Jiuyin, was already dead? Did she suddenly mention Qiao Jiuyin on purpose? Qiao Jiuyin subconsciously looked at Qiao Jiusheng, only to see that she had lowered her head to play with her phone again.

Perhaps, it was unintentional.

Qiao Jiuyin suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and replied, “I’ve heard before that giving birth to twins can be inherited. I didn’t believe it before, but it seems like it’s possible.”

After saying that, Qiao Jiuyin softly sighed. Qiao Jiusheng heard the sigh and looked up at her. She heard Qiao Jiuyin’s sorrowful voice. “I pity that my sister’s life was so short…” Qiao Jiuyin then lowered her head and sorrowfully looked at her.

Qiao Jiusheng silently stared at her and felt her hair stand on end.

Why didn’t I realize before that Qiao Jiuyin’s acting skills were so outstanding!

“Don’t talk about these unhappy things. You’re pregnant now. You have to maintain a good mood and treat the baby well.” Qiao Jiusheng suddenly added, “You have to know that your sister is watching you from the sky all the time!”

Qiao Jiuyin’s eyelids twitched before she quickly looked up at the grinning Qiao Jiusheng.

At this moment, she found Qiao Jiusheng’s smile exceptionally sly and strange. It flustered her, but she heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “You must be happy. Only then will your sister’s spirit in heaven rest in peace.”

Qiao Jiuyin was stunned.

She carefully hid the emotions in her eyes before replying, “Elder Sister-In-Law, you’re right.”

“Have a good rest. I’ll be leaving now. I’ll visit you another day.”

“Okay.”

After watching Qiao Jiusheng leave the ward, Qiao Jiuyin held the orange in her hand and lost her appetite.

The nurse opened one of the windows. The autumn wind blew in, making Qiao Jiuyin’s neck shiver.

She quickly got out of bed, walked to the window, and closed it.

Looking up at the gray sky, Qiao Jiuyin recalled what Qiao Jiusheng had said before she left.

Your sister is always watching you from above!

Qiao Jiuyin slammed the window shut.

As she turned around, she could still feel a pair of eyes watching her every move from the horizon.
