17 Human hearts are hard to fathom (3)

Su Mei's eyes were currently closed. Her beautiful face was enough to make men go crazy, but sadly, she was only interested in medical practice. She sat quietly in the ambulance, her expression serene. She felt someone looking at her and knew it was Jiang Yan. Three minutes had passed, but her gaze had not averted.

She opened her eyes and was amazed. The first thing she saw was a pair of innocent and beautiful gem-like eyes. She could feel herself falling for the gaze if she didn't avoid it, which was a human instinct.

"Sister Mei?" A heavenly voice came to her ears. Her heart trembled when she heard the voice, but luckily, her mind was still clear; otherwise, the consequences would be hard to imagine.

She quickly turned her head in the direction of Jiang Chen while her face flushed red.

"W-what is this?" Her body was trembling slightly.

"Sister Mei, are you okay?"

Jiang Yan moved towards where Su Mei was sitting. She was worried about her and just happened to be staring at Su Mei when a sudden idea came to her mind. Ever since they came back to this beautiful city, women would occasionally look at her brother with a kind of gaze that made them seem like they wanted to pounce on him and devour him. First, there was Xia Yue, who suddenly asked to go with her to their hometown under the excuse of personally surveying the surroundings in Q City for their company's expansion plan. Jiang Yan believed her because every company does this. However, after they boarded the bus, Xia Yue didn't do anything or plan to survey the surroundings. She just kept looking at her brother with an affectionate gaze. This distance was broken when Xia Yue took the lead to introduce herself as his girlfriend to the old Yang couple.

"Maybe Sister Yue has always liked my brother since then, and I am just being confused right now?" Jiang Yan thought.

The second time Jiang Yan noticed this unusual phenomenon was when they were walking through the streets. Every woman they passed would turn their heads and look at her brother. Another thing she noticed was that when Zhu Jianghu looked at her brother, it was the same as those women they passed by, but her gaze quickly recovered.

Lastly, she realized something while looking at Su Mei.

Su Mei, who was sitting with closed eyes, would occasionally look at her brother with an affectionate gaze. As a successful doctor, it would be impossible for her not to have admirers, the same goes for Xia Yue, but why do they all seem to be drawn to her brother? She also knows that her brother has the potential to become a celebrity, but he rarely communicates with strangers or even with his friends.

Every woman around her brother has her own characteristics (excluding herself).

"What is it, Yanyan?" Su Mei finally steadied her trembling heart, but it didn't mean she had the courage to look into Jiang Yan's eyes. "Have my preferences changed? Have I become a lily?" As she thought about this, her body trembled again, and she barely managed to calm herself.

"Sister Mei, you're trembling again. Is something bothering you?" Jiang Yan held her hands while looking innocently into her face.

"N-nothing." She quickly averted her gaze.

"Sister Mei, are the words you said earlier in the hospital true?"

Su Mei tried to organize her words, but she was still stuttering. "Y-yes. Your brother might wake up three to four hours from now, but..." Then she stopped.

"Sister Mei, was there something wrong with my brother when he wakes up?" The girl tightly clenched her hands while her eyebrows narrowed.

"It's not what you think, but your brother might go crazy when he sees that his entire right hand is missing, and the changes in your brother's body might have side effects on his mentality."

As she was about to continue and open her mouth, she heard sobbing.

"Why are you crying? Don't think of anything else. It's just a possibility. Your brother needs you when he wakes up, and don't show any abnormality about his quick recovery, okay?" She hugged her while caressing her smooth hair.

"I hope your brother, Jiang Chen, is the same type of person as those people," she said to herself.

"Yes, Sister Mei." The girl wiped her tears while trembling, reassured by Su Mei.

30 minutes had passed quickly and the ambulance came to a stop at a slightly worn-out house. Luckily, they did not encounter anyone on the way, or else the conspicuous ambulance would have aroused curiosity, especially since the driver was a beautiful woman dressed in floral.

Xia Yue quickly left the driver's seat and walked towards the back of the ambulance.

"We are here."

"This is?" Su Mei looked around.

"This is where we live, Sister Mei."

"What a beautiful scenery. Is this the rumored Yellow Mountain District?" Su Mei turned her head and asked Jiang Yan.

"Yes!" the girl smiled.

"Stop talking. We need to transfer your brother and buy some necessities for his recovery," Xia Yue quickly interrupted the two and expressed her concern.

"Yanyan, lead the way. I and Dr. Su will carry your brother."

"But my brother is quite heavy."

"Yes, Yanyan, you just need to lead the way," Su Mei followed suit.

"OK, but when you guys get tired, just let me know, and we can change. We need to go inside the house; the entrance is inside," Jiang Yan quickly walked inside the house towards the master bedroom.

"Where is it Xiao Yan?" Xia Yue looked around the room, but she could not see the entrance.

"Wait, sister, I'll go get the keys," Jiang Yan said and quickly walked towards the bathroom and pressed her two palms against the wall.

Creak! Creak!
