Chapter 128 Xiaoming Rainbow
Chapter 128 Xiaoming Rainbow
While the three members of Ode to Joy were having breakfast, Zhang Liangjun received a call from Andy, "Liangjun, I found Xiaoming's address! Can you come with me?"
Zhang Liangjun was puzzled. He had already told Tan Zongming that he wasn't responsible for this matter, so how did they still find out? Without thinking too much about it, he directly asked Andy, "Did Tan Zongming tell you? Did Lao Yan find out?"
“No, it’s Wei Wei. He said that because of what happened to A-Guan-Nan, he specifically asked a friend to investigate the matter in order to apologize. They’ve already found out that she’s in a nursing home.” Andy didn’t seem to realize anything and sounded quite happy.
Zhang Liangjun understood and said to Andy, "Okay, I got it. Wait for me at home, I'll be right back."
After hanging up Andy's call, Zhang Liangjun said to Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, "Something has happened to Andy. Do you want to come with me to see her?"
"Maybe next time!" Guan Juer said somewhat guiltily, and Qiu Yingying shook her head as well.
"Alright then, I'll be going now." With that, Zhang Liangjun picked up his car keys, opened the door, and got out.
Only Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer remained in the room, staring at each other in bewilderment. Qiu Yingying asked Guan Juer with a curious expression, "Why would you do that kind of thing during the day? Why not last night?"
Guan Juer blushed. "You'll know once you try it yourself!" she said, and then went back to her room.
Qiu Yingying wrinkled her nose. "Let's give it a try! What's so difficult about this? Humph!"
With the competition over, their relationship gradually warmed up.

When Zhang Liangjun arrived at the villa, Andy was already waiting in the passenger seat. Zhang Liangjun reluctantly got into the driver's seat, but didn't start the engine.
Andy asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why aren't you driving?"
“Andy, I have to confess something to you.” Zhang Liangjun took a deep breath and continued, “Actually, I’ve known about your brother’s situation for a long time, but I just didn’t tell you! Old Tan also knows, and I told him to make sure I told you at the right time. But I overlooked Wei Wei!”
"Why can't I know? My brother... he really is mentally ill?" Andy started to get nervous again.
“It’s not the typical kind of mental illness. I told you before, some people are born geniuses! Remember the book I showed you? Geniuses are inherently different! Your brother is a genius too!” Zhang Liangjun handed Andy a bottle of water.
Andy quickly calmed herself down. "Liangjun, I think I can do it. Can you tell me everything about my brother?"
Zhang Liangjun nodded. "Of course, here's what happened. At first... then... so your brother has actually been living in the nursing home where my mother works!" Zhang Liangjun gave a general account of Xiaoming's experience, including the hospital's test results.
"Do you really think my brother is a genius?" Andy seemed to believe Zhang Liangjun's words. Perhaps as long as people have some faith, they can comfort themselves. Just like Andy, as long as she believes that she and her brother are not crazy, but just geniuses who have gone astray, Andy can be less extreme.
Zhang Liangjun nodded solemnly, grasped Andy's hand, and placed it on his chest. "You guys are truly geniuses!"
"Come on, I'm alright now. Take me to see my brother! We've been separated for so many years, I feel so sorry for him!"
Daishan Nursing Home.
Zhang Liangjun and Andy opened the car door at the same time. After getting out of the car, Andy didn't run around but waited for Zhang Liangjun's instructions. This was something they had discussed in the car. Xiaoming was quite shy, and even though they were siblings, they hadn't seen each other for many years and didn't feel familiar with each other. Zhang Liangjun repeatedly warned Andy not to make any rash moves so as not to frighten Xiaoming.
"Xiaoming, Xiaoming, come get your snacks!" Zhang Liangjun called out to Xiaoming again.
Xiao Ming, dressed in a dark blue tracksuit, charged forward again with his arms swinging backward, but this time Zhang Liangjun had activated his fitness skills again, making his physical strength more than twice as strong as last time. He grabbed Xiao Ming's shoulder, spun him around twice, and dissipated Xiao Ming's momentum.
Zhang Liangjun warned, "Xiaoming, don't rush over like that next time. Anyone else would have been knocked down! Hey, what happened to your face?" After stopping, he noticed that Xiaoming had a scratch on his face, which had just scabbed over and was covered with ointment.
"It's all because of that running posture! A couple of days ago, I tripped and fell face-first when I came back from the backyard. Look at the mess I made, it's all scraped and bleeding!" Yang Xiuyuan walked over and explained to Zhang Liangjun, "And this is?"
Zhang Liangjun introduced her to Yang Xiuyuan, "Mom, this is Andy, Xiaoming's older sister. I've told you about her!"
The halo of the Virgin Mary descended once more behind Yang Xiuyuan. With a look of pity, Yang Xiuyuan stepped forward, took Andy's hand, and comforted him, saying, "You are Andy, child! You have suffered so much!"
"Auntie, I wasn't too tired, but Xiaoming's matter really troubled you!" Andy wanted to pull her hand away when she answered, but Yang Xiuyuan was Zhang Liangjun's mother, so she had to hold back. Fortunately, Yang Xiuyuan's saintly aura greatly reduced her fear, and Andy didn't have to suffer so much. After a while, she even got used to it.
Xiao Ming had just recovered from his dizziness when he noticed the stranger and quickly hid behind Zhang Liangjun, shouting, "Brother Jun, someone's here!"
Zhang Liangjun put his arm around Xiaoming's shoulder, "This is my sister, the sister I told you about!"
Xiaoming may be slow to develop in other areas, but even so, he can understand his sister's meaning. Zhang Liangjun has mentioned to Xiaoming many times that he has an older sister, which has planted a big seed in Xiaoming's heart.
"elder sister?"
"Yes, Xiaoming's sister, only Xiaoming's sister!" Yang Xiuyuan coaxed Xiaoming as if she were coaxing a child.
Andy looked at her younger brother with envy. Maybe Xiaoming really did have a health problem, but Xiaoming was happier than her! If she could, she would also like to stay in this nursing home like Xiaoming, with her older brother and mother!
Walking up to Xiaoming, Andy reached out to touch his face, but Xiaoming took a step back! Zhang Liangjun helped Xiaoming up, "Xiaoming, can you shake hands with your sister first?"
Zhang Liangjun stood to the side, like a solid mountain supporting him. Xiao Ming's initial trepidation subsided, and his courage grew. He slowly extended his hand and gently placed it on Zhang Liangjun's broad palm.
At the same time, Zhang Liangjun took Andy's fair hand without hesitation and carefully placed their hands together. In that instant, time seemed to stand still.
Xiao Ming seemed to sense a strange power flowing between the three of them. He looked up, his gaze meeting Andy's, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Hehehe!" Although the smile looked a little silly, it seemed exceptionally cute in Andy's eyes.
Andy gazed at the innocent and kind-hearted Xiaoming before her, a wave of emotion washing over her. A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips, and as she laughed, two glistening tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground and scattering into countless tiny droplets, creating a small, shimmering rainbow!
