I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Chapter 208: Warming up the relationship

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled softly on every corner of the Duke's Mansion like a golden veil, casting a warm color on this ancient and solemn mansion. After dinner, Chen Jue pushed Chen Jia in a wheelchair and walked slowly on the path in the mansion, starting their pleasant stroll.

Chen Jia was wearing a lavender dress, the hem of which spread over the wheelchair like blooming petals. Her complexion was much better than before, with a faint blush, like the sunset glow in the sky. She tilted her head slightly, with a peaceful smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of satisfaction. From time to time, she looked at the familiar scenery around her, with a gleam in her eyes, as if every leaf and every flower carried beautiful memories.

Chen Jue walked lightly and steadily, his eyes always on his sister, full of tenderness and concern. He was wearing a moon-white robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, making him look tall and straight. He pushed the wheelchair steadily with both hands, and leaned down from time to time to ask his sister softly if she was comfortable.

They walked along the winding path, which was lined with various flowers and plants. The colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, exuding bursts of fragrance, as if welcoming their arrival. The pink peony was delicate and gorgeous, with layers of petals like a girl's skirt; the golden daisies were small and exquisite, clustered together, like bright stars; and the elegant jasmine exuded a faint fragrance that was refreshing.

Chen Jia stretched out her hand and gently touched the flowers beside her, her eyes full of love, "Xiao Jue, look at these flowers, they are so beautiful. It seems that they are all trying hard to show their beauty." Her voice was soft, like the evening breeze, with a hint of comfort.

Chen Jue smiled and nodded, "Yes, sister. They are just like you, still beautiful even after going through wind and rain." There was a hint of affection in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a warm smile.

Chen Jia turned her head to look at Chen Jue, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, "Xiao Jue, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. However, these flowers really make me feel particularly happy." She patted Chen Jue's hand gently, her eyes full of smiles.

Passing by the flowers, there is a lush bamboo forest. The green bamboo leaves rustle in the wind, as if playing a soft music. The light of the setting sun shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting patches of golden light, like a dreamlike fairyland.

Chen Jue pushed the wheelchair slowly into the bamboo forest, "Sister, listen to the sound of the bamboo leaves, isn't it pleasant? It's very quiet here, it makes people feel calm." He narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility in the bamboo forest.

Chen Jia took a deep breath, feeling the quiet atmosphere, "Well, it's really comfortable here. Xiaojue, do you still remember when we were kids playing in the bamboo forest? We were so naughty back then, catching crickets here and competing to see who could find the biggest one." Her eyes were full of nostalgia, and an innocent smile appeared on her face.

Chen Jue also laughed, "Of course I remember, sister. You were always better than me back then, and the crickets you found were big and strong. I wasn't convinced, so I insisted on looking for more, and ended up getting covered in mud." As he spoke, he recalled the fun things from his childhood, with a happy smile on his face.

Coming out of the bamboo forest, not far away is a small and exquisite pavilion. The pillars of the pavilion are covered with vines, and the green leaves and purple flowers are intertwined, adding a bit of vitality to the pavilion. The top of the pavilion is built with glazed tiles, which sparkles with colorful light under the setting sun, like a dazzling pearl.

Chen Jue pushed the wheelchair to the pavilion, parked it beside the pavilion, and helped Chen Jia walk into the pavilion. The two sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion. Chen Jia took a deep breath, and Chen Jue asked with concern: "Sister, are you tired? Let's rest here for a while."

Chen Jia smiled and shook her head, "I'm not tired, Xiaojue. It's just that I feel really comfortable along the way. I haven't appreciated the scenery of the Duke's Mansion like this for a long time." She looked into the distance, her eyes full of emotion.

Chen Jue picked up a kettle and two cups from the stone table next to him, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to his sister, "Sister, drink some tea to moisten your throat." His movements were gentle and natural.

Chen Jia took the tea and took a sip, "Hmm, this tea is really fragrant. Xiaojue, you are always so thoughtful." She looked at Chen Jue with a smile, her eyes full of approval.

Chen Jue scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sister, this is what I should do. As long as you can be happy, I will be satisfied." A blush appeared on his face and his eyes were full of sincerity.

The two of them rested in the pavilion for a while, and then continued on their way. Walking along the path, they came to a sparkling lake. The lake was clear and reflected the gorgeous sunset in the sky and the surrounding scenery. There were a few ducks swimming leisurely on the lake, sometimes dipping their heads into the water to look for food, and sometimes flapping their wings on the water, splashing small water flowers. Willows were weeping by the lake, and their slender willow branches were hanging down on the lake, like girls in green dressing in front of the mirror.

When Chen Jia saw Xiaohu, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, "Xiaojue, look at those ducks, they are so cute. They are free, so enviable." There was a hint of joy in her voice, and she leaned forward slightly, wanting to see more clearly.

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, when you have fully recovered, we can come here to go boating. It must be a unique experience to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Duke's Mansion on the lake." His eyes were full of anticipation as he imagined the scene of boating with his sister.

Chen Jia turned to look at Chen Jue, her eyes sparkling, "Really? That's great, Xiaojue. I'm really looking forward to it." Her face was filled with an excited smile, as if she had already seen herself laughing on the boat.

Pushing the wheelchair along the lake, Chen Jue was particularly happy to see his sister in such high spirits. He began to tell his sister some interesting stories about the lake, "Sister, do you know? Someone once caught a very big fish in this lake. It is said to be this long." As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to indicate the length of the fish with an exaggerated expression.

Chen Jia opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Really? That must be a very magical fish. Has it been released?" she asked curiously.

Chen Jue nodded, "Of course, everyone thought it was an elf in the lake, so they released it. Since then, the lake seems to be more lively." He answered with a smile, a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.

After passing the lake, they came to an open meadow. The meadow was covered with green grass, like a huge green carpet. There were some colorful flowers dotted on the meadow. When the breeze blew, the flowers nodded gently, as if greeting them. In the distance, there were a few children playing and laughing on the meadow. They were running and chasing each other, and their laughter echoed in the air.

Chen Jia looked at the children playing on the grass with a hint of envy in her eyes, "Xiao Jue, look how happy they are. They are so carefree. I really hope they can always be so happy." Her expression softened and her eyes were full of kindness.

Chen Jue followed his sister's gaze and said, "Yes, sister. They are just like us when we were kids, with no worries, only happiness. I hope this happiness can always be with them." The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Chen Jue pushed the wheelchair to the edge of the grass and stopped. He took out a small blanket from the back of the wheelchair, spread it on the grass, and then helped Chen Jia sit on the blanket. "Sister, let's sit here for a while and feel the softness of the grass." His voice was soft and considerate.

Chen Jia sat on the blanket and reached out to stroke the grass beside her. "Xiao Jue, you really know how to enjoy life. It's really comfortable here. It feels like all the fatigue has disappeared." She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and a relaxed look appeared on her face.

Chen Jue sat beside his sister, looking at her happy face, feeling relieved. He pulled up a blade of grass and played with it in his hands, "Sister, when you are fully recovered, we can come here for picnics often. Bring our favorite food and enjoy a good time here." His eyes were full of longing, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene.

Chen Jia opened her eyes, smiled and nodded, "Okay, Xiaojue. Then we can prepare some cakes, fruits, and your favorite barbecue. It must be great to eat here while enjoying the scenery." Her eyes were shining with anticipation, and she was full of hope for the future.

The sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed purple and red. Chen Jue looked at the sky and said to Chen Jia, "Sister, it's getting late, we should go back." He helped Chen Jia up, put her back in the wheelchair, and then pushed the wheelchair back along the way they came.

Along the way, the two of them didn't speak, just quietly enjoying the tranquility of the evening. Chen Jue looked at his sister from time to time, and seeing the satisfied smile on his sister's face, he also felt extremely happy. Their figures were stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it was a warm picture scroll, recording their beautiful daily life.

After returning to their residence, Chen Jue carefully helped Chen Jia back to the room and helped her sit on the bed. "Sister, you must be tired after walking for so long today. Have a good rest." His tone was full of concern.

Chen Jia smiled and shook her head, "Xiao Jue, I'm very happy today and not tired at all. Thank you for walking with me." She held Chen Jue's hand, her eyes full of gratitude.

Chen Jue smiled, "Sister, you're welcome. As long as you're happy, I can walk with you every day. Have a good rest, I'll prepare some warm water for you, you can wash up later." After that, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving Chen Jia alone immersed in this beautiful memory. She lay on the bed, looking at the sky gradually darkening outside the window, with a smile on her lips, her heart full of love for her brother and expectations for future life.
