Chapter 78 Jiang Ning Begins to Test

Jiang Ningren was completely stunned. He held his sister in his arms and snacks in his other hand, but his expression was extremely shocked and he didn't react for a long time.

What did she see?
Jiang Ning couldn't believe it, but she saw it clearly with her own eyes. The moment she opened the door, she caught a glimpse of a photo of two people on the computer screen.

It was the kind of photo taken with their faces close together, close and intimate, with both of their expressions filled with unfading smiles.

The most important thing is that she felt that the boy seemed to be... Chen Yuan.

No...absolutely not!
She denied this thought within half a second, but... then, Jiang Ning thought: Is it possible that my eyes can deceive me! ?

Although she didn't look at it carefully, she felt a sense of familiarity. Perhaps only Chen Yuan could give her such a feeling.

So Jiang Ning was stunned.

……

How could her sister have any contact with Chen Yuan? She had never heard Jiang Yao's name since they broke up, not even once.

It was as if the previous online dating experience was completely forgotten and no longer existed.

Jiang Yao never knew Chen Yuan, and lived happily every day. That love affair was just a trivial episode in her life...

She is not a teacher at school and often stays at home. She has no circle of friends to connect with. Unlike me, I occasionally bump into her at school, which is why I can't stop thinking about her.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's mind was confused. She wondered if she was dreaming.
Otherwise, why is everything that happened in the few seconds from the time I got home so incredible?

She had never thought that her sister, who had been close to her since childhood and who shared every little secret with her, would actually hide something from her. This had never happened before. They knew even the most subtle bad habits of each other and knew each other's social circles very well... Jiang Ning felt that she was hallucinating.

Before Jiang Ning could think clearly, her sister's soft voice rang in her ears: "Sister, I just came back too. I went out to play all day today. Look at the new action figures I bought."

As she spoke, Jiang Yao walked to the computer desk in small steps, picked up a palm-sized figurine, and held it up to show off to her sister.

"So cute." Jiang Ning also reacted and smiled with a pale face.

"Of course, I've been waiting in line for so long that my waist aches from exhaustion."

"It seems..." Jiang Ning put aside the discomfort in her heart for the time being, and reluctantly touched her sister's hair, her movements light, "Yaoyao has completely gotten rid of her original autism. Now you don't need to accompany me when I go out. Sister is very happy for you."

"Hehe, because you told me before that people have to face things. I like staying at home, but I always feel like I'm actively avoiding it when I never go out. Now I'm not afraid anymore, and I can't let my sister worry about me all the time."

"You're getting more and more sensible." Jiang Ning took out the hawthorn cake, tore open the package, pulled up a gaming chair and sat down, talking intimately with Jiang Yao, and handed the cake to her, "Eat it."

Her sister smiled happily at her, but the position where she was sitting happened to block the computer.

Although the page had been closed, Jiang Yao was really afraid that the software would suddenly malfunction and the photo would pop up.

That situation is completely sent.

Covering the computer is undoubtedly a sign of guilty conscience.

She ate the hawthorn cake in small bites, and suddenly looked up to find Jiang Ning looking at her...

"Who is going out to play with you today?"

"It's Xiao Wan." Jiang Yao blurted out this sentence very naturally.

She acted extremely relaxed and didn't seem to be lying at all. Jiang Ning watched her expressions the whole time and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her sister was lying.

If that was the case, she would really start to doubt it.

"Last time I asked you to introduce her to me, but you never made any arrangements. Let's have a meal together sometime, and you didn't even thank her for what you did last time."

"Of course - A-choo!"

Jiang Yao sneezed, her body moved violently, and she exerted force with her fingers so hard that the hawthorn cake was deformed.

She squeezed out a few tears from her eyes, frowned and rubbed her nose frantically, "I'll arrange it."

"Yaoyao, why do you sound so nasal? Do you have a cold?"

The wheels of the gaming chair were sliding on the ground, and Jiang Ning came over worriedly.

"Yes, there was a biochemical matrix at the comic convention. I stayed there for the whole morning and got infected when I left the house - A-choo!"

"I'll go get you some medicine. I happened to have some when I went out last time."

"No, I've already eaten."

"Eh?!" Jiang Ning had just stood up, but stopped when she heard this and turned around. "So amazing? Now I don't even need to remind you to take medicine. This is really impressive, Yaoyao."

"No way~" Jiang Yao wrinkled her nose and waved her hands, "No, it was Xiao Wan who saw that I had a cold and took care of me to eat. It was Xiao Wan."

"That's it..."

Jiang Ning looked at her a few more times, then lowered his head in silence, "I'm going to go change my clothes, you can eat the hawthorn cake first."

She walked out of the room, went all the way to the bedroom and closed the door.

Jiang Ning opened the wardrobe with a "squeak", took off her woolen coat, and took out a hanger, but then she stopped - the hanger in her hand fell to the ground with a snap. She looked at it intently, but was in a trance for a while.

Just now, Yaoyao clearly lied...

The hesitant state, the wrinkled nose, the awkward micro-expressions... She really knew Jiang Yao too well. Whenever she lied, her hands would unconsciously twirl the corners of her clothes, which was a sign of guilty conscience. Why lie?
Yaoyao, are you going to hide this even from your sister?
Jiang Ning closed her eyes in pain. She wanted to rush into the bedroom and ask, what was going on with that photo? Why did he lie? Was he going out with Xiao Wan or with someone else?

But she couldn't do that if Jiang Yao denied it.

Does she have to force herself to turn on the computer to watch it?

There is no doubt that things would turn into an uncontrollable war from that situation. The sisters would have reconciled with great difficulty, but now they would have to bear grudges again.

Jiang Ning bit her lips tightly. The sharp pain made her sober up and realize that this was not a bizarre dream, but a real reality.

She thought about it randomly for a long time, and the doubts lingered in her mind.

A fact that made Jiang Ning shudder seemed to be right in front of her...her sister was hiding a terrible secret from her!
……

Jiang Ning took countless deep breaths, and was forced to calm down, then began to analyze each item one by one.

She must first know the truth of the matter and not blame her sister wrongly. No matter what method she uses, she can only take the next step after knowing the truth.

Until now.

Even though she had already caught a glimpse of the photo, Jiang Ning still believed in her sister.

One cannot help but sigh at the greatness of sisterhood. When things turned out to be unexpected, she did not get angry at first, but instead assumed that it was an illusion.

I calmed down.

Jiang Ning changed into the loose clothes she usually wore at home, walked out the door pretending to be relaxed, and came to the second bedroom.

"What do you want to eat tonight? Sister will make it for you."

Leaning against the door frame, she tilted her head slightly and asked.

"Tomato stewed beef brisket, is that okay?" Jiang Yao fiddled with the figurine in her hand and raised her cheeks, as if she wanted the beef brisket rice stewed by her sister, her saliva already flowing out.

She finished the last bit of hawthorn cake and said greedily: "I feel like I have a good appetite now. I'm a little hungry. Sister, please go and make it."

"Huh, I knew you would say that. The more snacks people eat, the fuller they get. But the more you eat, the hungrier you get. You've been like this since you were a child."

Jiang Yao scratched her head sheepishly and replied, "Indeed, when I was a kid, I remember you always brought me snacks when you were in high school. At that time, I was always looking forward to what delicious food you would bring me."

"I would miss you at home when I went to school alone. Mom didn't allow us to eat snacks. You were envious when you saw others eating and couldn't walk, so I asked the driver to stop the car after school. There was an old lady at the roadside stall who was used to me buying hawthorn cakes. I would squat there every day after school. There were also potato chips, lollipops, and soda. I was so annoyed at that time. I had to wear thick clothes to hide them tightly, and the bulging potato chip bags had to be deflated first."

“Looking back now, it’s still quite heartwarming.”

"There are bitterness and sweetness, but we can't go back." Jiang Ning used her fingers to tuck the hair in front of her forehead and daydreamed with her sister.

"I don't want to live that kind of life anymore. I'm so free and happy now."

"That's right, we've all grown up. In a few years we'll all be thirty years old. How scary!"

"Don't say it!"

Jiang Yao stepped forward and covered her sister's mouth with her hand. She became nervous, "It's still too early. It's too scary to be thirty years old."

"Well, you didn't even wash your hands after eating," Jiang Ning said disdainfully, "and they got on my face."

As the two sisters talked, the night gradually deepened.

……

After a while, in the kitchen.

Jiang Ning hummed a song, put on an apron, and prepared all the ingredients in an orderly manner. The oil in the pot was already heated and was emitting tiny bubbles.

In such a quiet and warm atmosphere.

No one knows that the elder sister and the younger sister each have their own ulterior motives.

In the second bedroom.

Jiang Yao deleted the photos quickly out of guilt and didn't dare to continue retouching them. She felt quite lucky to have survived a disaster - she felt that her sister didn't notice anything.

And in the kitchen.

Jiang Ning was cutting the beef brisket, thinking carefully.

While eating later, I will test Jiang Yao carefully to see her attitude towards Chen Yuan.

From the moment Jiang Ning began to have doubts in her heart, she felt more and more that something was wrong. Her sister had been so strong in trying to persuade her to confess her feelings, and after she came back, they had a big fight.

If, my sister really has an affair with Chen Yuan behind the scenes.

Jiang Ning lowered her eyes slightly, feeling that everything could be explained.

Although she didn't want to think in this direction, her sister's behavior was indeed strange in every way.

Ever since Jiang Yao suddenly wanted to be independent, it seemed that she was not so clingy to Jiang Ning anymore. It all started after she broke up with Chen Yuan.

Thoughtful...
