Wishful Thinking

Xie Qiao thought that was possible, so under the gaze of her siblings, she covered her chest, coughed twice, and then let them help her back into the house.

She lay on the bed, looking weak.

Chun Er was confused, but she would not expose her.

"Eldest Sister, is there anything else that you'd like to eat? I'll buy it for you..." Xie Pinghuai paused, then added, "Xi'er will give you money." 

Xie Xi nodded. "I've saved a lot of money." 

"Recently... I've been bored. Do you want to play with the grasshoppers?" Xie Qiao said wickedly.

"Eldest Sister, don't make fun of me. I don't like to play with those things anymore." Xie Pinghuai smiled bitterly. "Weren't you in good health before? How did it suddenly become like this?" 

"Before? Maybe it was a long period of time?" Xie Qiao said slowly.
