Chapter 558: Are You Sure You Aren't Joking?

"Sigh!"

Her inner turmoil made Chen Shanni heave a deep sigh.

Her gaze was dim, and deep within her eyes lay an indescribable emotion.

"Yezi, do you remember when we visited Grandma Shen last time, and I mentioned I had fallen seriously ill?"

"I remember! Didn't you say there was a problem with your digestive system? Has it still not been cured?" Chen Yezi's expression tightened.

She had completely forgotten that she was a patient herself.

Chen Shanni shook her head and said it wasn't a problem with her digestive system, but that she had been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Chen Yezi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; she had heard of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, one of the five major incurable diseases, and being diagnosed with it was equivalent to a death sentence.

It was only a matter of time.

Facing her sister's worried gaze, Chen Shanni gave a faint smile and indicated that she had already recovered, telling her not to worry. Only then did Chen Yezi let out a sigh of relief.

Next, Chen Shanni briefly described her symptoms. The more Chen Yezi listened, the more panicked she became; these symptoms were exactly the same as her own.

Could it be that I have also contracted Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis? Or a mutated variant?

Sure enough, Chen Shanni's words confirmed her suspicion. Chen Yezi's heart instantly turned to ash, mist condensed in her eyes, and two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

Why?

I am only 19 years old, I haven't even had the chance to experience a beautiful life, why is God so cruel to me?

Chen Shanni reached out to wipe away her tears. She understood this feeling very well; she had been in this state herself when she first learned of her situation, which was why she had laid so much groundwork.

However, it seemed to be of no use.

"Yezi, don't cry. Isn't your sister standing right in front of you, healthy and well? You will be fine."

Oh, right!

Chen Yezi's spirits lifted.

Since her sister could recover her health, it meant she also had a chance.

"Sister, how did you get cured?"

Chen Shanni did not reveal the truth immediately, but instead began to tell a story: "There are many things I don't know how to bring up to you. Actually, before I went to college, I was a very introverted person who kept everything bottled up inside."

Chen Yezi had heard Shen Yan mention this, so she wasn't surprised.

Chen Shanni continued: "When I first started college, I fell for Shen Yan, but at the time he had a girlfriend, and that person was Hao Anqi, who often hung out with me."

"I've heard of her!" Chen Yezi nodded.

"Given my personality, I probably would have buried this in my heart for a lifetime, never letting anyone know. But then, an accident happened: I was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

At the time, my left hand had no strength at all. To keep Mom and Dad from worrying, I didn't tell them. I just wanted to go on a spontaneous trip before my life ended. Perhaps God took pity on me, as it just so happened that Shen Yan and Hao Anqi were having relationship problems at that time.

In the end, we went to Yunnan together."

Recalling those sweet times, the corners of Chen Shanni's mouth rose involuntarily.

Chen Yezi's eyes flickered, guessing that the two of them must have gotten together on that trip.

"During this trip, I had that kind of relationship with Shen Yan."

In Chen Shanni's imagination, her sister should have had an expression of disbelief upon hearing this.

However, the reality was that Chen Yezi was as calm as a lake.

"You knew about our relationship long ago?" Chen Shanni was thoughtful.

Chen Yezi nodded: "The day of the press conference, I saw you sneak into the guest room in the middle of the night and only come out two hours later."

What puzzled Chen Yezi was why her sister was telling her all this.

Chen Shanni's pretty face flushed; she hadn't expected her little actions to be seen by anyone.

Seeing her act so girlish, Chen Yezi found it amusing and teased, "Sister, you're really bold, daring to mess around at home, and you were even the proactive one."

In an instant, Chen Shanni's face turned as red as a monkey's butt, looking delicate and charming.

Out of shame and annoyance, she reached out to tickle Chen Yezi's ticklish spots, shouting "Let you talk, let you talk" while she did so. Chen Yezi, whose legs were weak, was no match for her.

She could only beg for mercy bitterly.

"Ouch! Sister, I was wrong, don't tickle me, hee hee hee, I can't take it anymore."

Only then did Chen Shanni let her go.

After this episode, the tense atmosphere in the car had completely vanished.

"I'm telling you this not to recount the past, but because the reason I recovered my health lies with Shen Yan. His constitution seems different from a normal person's. Every time I sleep with him, I wake up the next day feeling full of spirit and strength. Gradually, my hand regained its strength."

Finally, Chen Shanni pointed out the key point, this past that only she and Shen Yan knew.

"Huh?" Chen Yezi's eyes widened larger than eggs, her small mouth slightly agape.

It was as if she had heard a tall tale.

Doing that could restore health? What nonsense! No, wait! It actually seemed possible.

As if remembering something, Chen Yezi's pupils suddenly constricted.

After all, she had personally experienced that feeling once, and the next day she woke up feeling as if she had been sublimated.

Could it be that Shen Yan really possessed a special constitution? This is unscientific!

"Sister, are you sure you aren't joking?"

"Yezi, you are still young. I can't bear to leave you like this, and I don't want Mom and Dad to be sad and heartbroken. So, if you are willing, I can help you talk to Shen Yan."

After saying this, Chen Shanni leaned her head back against the seat and took a deep breath.

If she could choose, she would rather this matter rot in her stomach forever.

"Sister, even if what you said is true, Shen Yan is the man you love. How could I do that?" Chen Yezi shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"I don't want this either, but there is no other way. If you want to live well, just pretend... just pretend you were bitten by a dog. Only after the storm can you see the rainbow.

Besides, Shen Yan might not necessarily agree to this. He isn't the type of person who can't walk straight the moment he sees a beautiful woman."

Thinking about having to persuade the man she deeply loved to sleep with her own sister, Chen Shanni felt like cursing; what kind of bizarre things could fall on her head.

That is simply absurd!

For a moment, the inside of the car fell into a ghostly silence.

Chen Yezi did not mind sleeping with Shen Yan; in fact, she was quite looking forward to it. It wasn't the first time anyway, and she still couldn't forget that exquisite, peak-level sensation.

But she was afraid her acting would be too clumsy and arouse her sister's suspicion.

After a long while, Chen Yezi said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzzing, "Sister, I want to live a good life."

"I understand, I will arrange this matter." Chen Shanni looked at her with a complex expression.

Immediately after, the two sisters discussed the execution of the plan and unanimously decided to return to Hangzhou.

Such an absurd and bizarre matter certainly could not be let their parents know.

Upon learning of this situation, Chen Jun was completely baffled: "Shanni, Dad really can't understand; it's just medical treatment, what is there that can't be said, and why not let Mom and Dad come along?"

Chen Yezi replied on behalf of her sister: "Dad, Sister has already explained it clearly to me. You and Mom should stop asking; I will cooperate well with the treatment and strive for an early recovery."

"Shanni, is Yezi's illness really not a problem?"

Wei Wenli was still somewhat uneasy.

"Mom, I will return a healthy Yezi to you," Chen Shanni said.

Hearing this, Chen Jun and Wei Wenli exchanged a glance and had no choice but to drop the matter.

The requirement was for the two sisters to report that they were safe in a timely manner.
