Chapter 4 Sister

  "Let's go to the hospital and take a look!" Jin Xianzhong struggled to get up, stretched out his hand to Mu Ziqiu, indicating that he needed help. Mu Ziqiu didn't take his hand, but instead used both hands to support himself against the wall, slowly getting up, adjusting the "bandages" on his body, and walking slowly out of the alley, picking up the school bag he had thrown down earlier, stumbling and staggering towards home...

  "Hey, you saved me once, I owe you one! You... hope to see you again in the future! Ah, ouch! This kid is really something, from start to finish didn't make a sound, and fought so desperately! Those idiots, their blows were really heavy, but it was worth it!" Jin Xian rubbed his handsome face, gazing at the gradually disappearing figure, muttering to himself, then left the alley in the opposite direction of Mu Zi Qiu. The alley returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened, except for a puddle of blood that still steamed with heat.

  ……

  "I hope my sister has gone to the company!" Mu Zi Qiu dragged his blood-stained body, under the gaze of many passersby, and slowly walked back to the front door of his home. He took out the key, but his trembling hands couldn't insert the key into the keyhole.

  "Crack..."

  "Zi Qiu? You, what's wrong? How did you end up like this?" Mu Zi Qiu hadn't even opened the door yet, but it swung open by itself. Standing inside was a woman who seemed to be on her way out - none other than Mu Zi Qiu's sister! If she were to appear on the streets, she would definitely cause a commotion! Yes, she is indeed Lee Hyori, the leader of Korea's number one girl group!

  "Quick, come in!" Li Xiaoli's face was filled with concern as she helped Mu Ziqiu inside and supported her onto the sofa.

  "So much blood! Does it hurt? Let's clean the wound first! Bear with me, I'll go run some hot water!" Li Hyori helped Muzi Qiu onto the sofa and immediately started bustling around, turning on the heater in the room, running to the bathroom to run hot water...

  Muzi Autumn rarely interacted with people, so such situations hardly ever occurred. Most of the time, he blended in like a passerby and avoided trouble whenever possible. He was extremely low-key and showed no interest in anything, even when others mocked him, as long as they didn't cross his bottom line, he could just walk away calmly. Of course, there were those who looked down on him, but most of them were top students who, although jealous, didn't take it to the point of asking someone to beat him up. So, getting beaten up and returning home covered in blood like today was truly rare! Li Xiaoli knew her younger brother inside out, if not for himself, he would never go fight with others, let alone get beaten so badly!

  "Sister, I'll wash it myself." Mu Zi Qiu was like an iceberg outside, but in this room, facing Li Xiao Li, he became a well-behaved child, melting the iceberg, removing his large black-framed glasses, and even with bloodstains all over his face, his extremely handsome face could still be seen.

  "How can you wash yourself? Doesn't your wound hurt?"

  "But..." Mu Zi had changed into a bathrobe and was only wearing a pair of four-cornered pants, blocking the bathroom door with his body, not letting Lee Hyori come in.

  "You're still shy at this time? I've seen you grow up, now you're just a few years old and you're starting to dislike me! Think back when I brought you home, how old were you then?"

  "Sister, I'm fourteen this year!"

  "Nonsense! His birthday hasn't even passed yet! He's just a 13-year-old kid!" Actually, Lee Hyori didn't know Muzi Qiu's real birthday. She had taken the day they first met as his birthday and estimated his age based on how he looked at that time. They had first met when he was seven years old, and now almost seven years had passed.

  "But..."

  "Get out of here quickly, I'm getting angry!" Li Xiaoli stood outside the bathroom door with her hands on her hips and a stern face! This was her most effective "trump card" against Muzi Qiu!

  "Sister! The wound is mainly on my back..." Muzi Qiu couldn't bear to make his sister angry, every time she shouted "I'm angry", he would unconditionally obey, just because in his heart, no one could replace her position! Today's fight was caused by that fat guy mentioning Lee Hyori and loudly insulting her, which made Muzi Qiu, who revered Lee Hyori as a god, unable to tolerate it!

  Muzi Qiu sat in the bathtub, his back to Xialili, revealing only a back full of bruises and scabs.

  "Zi Qiu, don't fight again next time, sister's heart aches." Li Xiao Li gently used a towel to dab hot water and slowly wiped the bloodstains and wounds on Mu Zi Qiu's back, being very careful and gentle, afraid of causing Mu Zi Qiu more pain.

  "Hmm... as long as no one says you're with your sisters, I won't."

  "Endure if you can, sister it's nothing!" This younger brother of mine is good in every way, very obedient to me, but he's just a bit too cold! He's cold towards everything except for me and the team members. And he's also extremely biased, unable to tolerate even a tiny bit of bad talk about himself. I remember two years ago, an anti-fan secretly sent him a threatening letter, and after reading it, Mu Ziqiu actually found that anti-fan based on the clues left on the envelope and almost set their house on fire! And at that time, Mu Ziqiu was only 12 years old!

  "Sister, they said today that you guys are going to disband, is it true? You guys won't disband, right?"

  Lee Hyo-ri didn't respond, but continued with her actions in all seriousness. After Muzi Qiu cleaned the wound with hot water, Lee Hyo-ri took out a first aid kit and applied medicine to all the wounds before finally leaving the house calmly. During this time, the two of them didn't exchange another word...

  "Sister! Really, are we going to be separated from Jiwon sister, Zhen'er sister, and Yooli sister? Are we also going to follow SES's footsteps and disband?" Muzi Qiu lay on the bed, staring at the poster on the wall...

  "It's definitely not going to happen!" Looking at the poster with Lee Hyori's smiling face, Muzi Qiu was certain that it would never disband!

  Muzi Qiu can be considered as growing up with it!

  Muzi Autumn wasn't originally called that, but was actually named Li Qiu! This name was also taken by Lee Hyori because Muzi Autumn's personality is too introverted. Lee Hyori wanted to add some flair to his name, so she took the "禾" character from her own name and added fire to make it "Autumn". But it seems like it didn't have any effect...

  Mok-ja's autumn personality was cold and distant, and after being brought home by Lee Hyori, she didn't win over her parents at all, but instead was met with their dislike. In the end, although Lee Hyori's parents allowed her to adopt him, they wouldn't give him the surname "Lee" and wouldn't let him live in the house! With no other choice, Lee Hyori had to take Mok-ja out of the house and rent a place for him to live, renaming him Mok-ja Autumn. At that time, Lee Hyori was just a high school student, and under the circumstances of being cut off from economic support at home, she even gave up her beloved art, using all the time she could spare to work part-time jobs to raise Mok-ja. Mok-ja's reverence for Lee Hyori had been slowly building since she took his hand, and later he saw with his own eyes Lee Hyori's figure running around everywhere to make a living!

  Later, Lee Hyori secretly applied to the Film Academy without telling her family, because she had heard that actors made a lot of money quickly. On that occasion, she still remembered being scolded by her father and returning to the rental house, hugging herself and crying...

  Fortunately, Lee Hyori was discovered by DSP's star scout and became the leader of the current national fairy group. The lives of the two also improved somewhat due to meeting a relatively wealthy member at home. Over the years, he has treated the members as sisters who exist with Lee Hyori. In Muzi Chiu's eyes, this world is: First, Sister Lee Hyori! Second, sister! Third, there is no more!

  ……

  These days, due to his injury, Muzi Qiu didn't go back to school and instead stayed at home to rest. Muzi Qiu's excellent grades weren't because he was a genius or anything, but rather because of the 300% effort he put in every day. His daily self-study sessions were just the basics, and he would often delve into more advanced knowledge, reading books through the night was a common occurrence for him. Fortunately, he had an extraordinary ability to understand things, and he could usually grasp the concepts in his textbooks, even if it took some effort. He firmly believed in the saying "read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will reveal itself". This was how Muzi Qiu managed to get first place in his class for the first time, and from that moment on, he continued to excel, maintaining his position as the top student in the city since elementary school. All of this was just so he could see a smile on Li Xue Li's face when he got first place, because back then, he couldn't think of any other way to make his sister, who meant the world to him, happy...

  Inside the school, Zheng Xiuyan stared at the empty seats for several days in a row, holding her textbook with anger and listening to the teacher's lecture on the podium, which was like listening to heavenly scriptures. Because she had been warned by Han Xiangmei as soon as the semester started, she didn't dare to skip school again using company practice as an excuse, unless she could get a certificate from the company for herself. However, it was clear that the teachers in the company would not issue such a certificate for her, even if it was her favorite singing teacher...

  "No wonder that guy likes to stare at that wall!" Zheng Xiuyan tilted her head, a few strands of hair brushing against her cheek, occasionally blinking her eyes as she gazed at the gray wall...
