Chapter 62 – Who’s the Culprit? (1/2)

Pulling Wei Yi out of the autopsy room, Ji Yunshu borrowed an umbrella before leaving the yamen.

After opening the umbrella, she handed it over to Wei Yi. “You’re taller, so you hold it.”

“Okay.”

He appeared quite pleased to do so as they walked through the snow.

“Wei Yi, can I ask what do you like to do? Do you like reading, or perhaps writing?” Ji Yunshu asked as they walked together.

After thinking for a bit, he shook his head and replied, “I don’t like any of those.”

“Then, did you like that pile of white bones just now?”

“White bones?” Wei Yi’s expression sank as he hurriedly waved his hand, “No, no, I didn’t like it.”

Due to his hand shaking, the umbrella also shook. Ji Yunshu immediately reached out to grip his hand, her gaze stern. “You’re not allowed to shake your hand. Look, you let the snow fall on my shoulders.” She looked at her shoulders.

However, Wei Yi’s attention was not focused on her shoulders but rather on the pair of hands holding onto his. Her fingers were a clean white colour, long and elegant. The feeling of her hands clenching onto his was very warm and comfortable. For a while, Wei Yi simply went into a daze while looking at her hands.

Noticing this, Ji Yunshu immediately put her hands back into her sleeves and turned. “You brat, where did you get this weird habit of looking at other people’s hands.”

“Big Brother, your hands look very similar to Big Sister’s hands!”

“In what way?”

Wei Yi smiled as he spoke, “When big sister took a knife to scare me, I saw there was a small mole on the back of her hand. It’s exactly the same as the one on Big Brother’s hand.”

‘Uh?’ Ji Yunshu lifted her hand to have a look and saw a mole in her purlicue. It was small to the point that Ji Yunshu had not noticed its existence at all in the five years she had been here.

‘This guy has an eye for detail!’

Placing her hands back into her sleeves, she continued forwards while speaking, “Alright, it’s time to send you back to the Wei mansion.”

“Ah?” Wei Yi was clearly a bit unwilling. “Big Brother, can you bring me to Big Sister? I have something to give her.”

“What is it?”

“I can’t show it to Big Brother, I have to give it to Big Sister myself.”

This piqued Ji Yunshu’s interest. She paused her steps and spoke with a hint of threat in her tone, “If you don’t tell me, I won’t take you to see her ever again.”

Wei Yi became anxious, so he spoke with haste, “Alright, I’ll tell you.” His hands reached towards his waistband where he took out a pouch.

“I wanted to give this to Big Sister.”

Ji Yunshu took the pouch from his hand. Opening it, she found a jade pendant, orange blood in color, that was very translucent.

She was quite confused. “Where did you get this jade pendant from? Why do you… want to give it to your big sister?”

“My father gave me this. He said it would keep me safe, so I want to give it to Big Sister.”

“But your big sister might not even like it!”

“Mother says all girls like expensive things. This jade is very important to me, so I’m sure Big Sister will like it too.”

‘Silly guy. You could actually bear to give away such a precious object! Your big sister is scared by you so many times, why are you being so affectionate when she gives you the cold shoulders?’

Giving the pendant back, she spoke, “Keep this pendant properly. This was given to you by your father so you can’t give it to anyone else, understand?”

He didn’t understand! “It’s nothing to be worried about. Big Brother, bring me to see Big Sister please. If I go alone, Big Sister might not even see me.” Towards the end, his tone turned very upset!

Ji Yunshu stilled for a moment, not knowing what to say.
