Chapter 224: What a Coincidence, It’s You

After chatting with Dr. Du, Fang Zhou felt a lot more at ease.

His sister’s dialysis was almost done. After waiting a bit, he picked her up and took her home.

On the way, Fang Zhou shared the good news with Fang Wenjing, successfully seeing joy on his sister’s face.

“Really? Brother, you mean I have a chance to live on?”

Fang Wenjing’s voice was much more excited than usual, changed by the sudden good news.

She gripped her seatbelt tightly, turning to look at her brother driving the car, eagerly seeking confirmation.

“Of course, silly girl. What nonsense are you talking about? There will always be a suitable kidney source for you.”

You’re still so young, you should live happily for a long time.

Fang Zhou smiled, glancing at her briefly, seeing a rare, genuine smile.

Actually, she never said much, usually appearing cheerful and lively, but deep down, she was also suffering.

But to avoid adding pressure on him, she never showed it.

In reality, how many people with long-term illnesses can always stay optimistic?

That comment earlier exposed her true thoughts, didn’t it?

Fang Zhou felt a pang of sorrow, thinking how his sister was so considerate, too considerate, to the point where he didn’t have the chance to comfort her.

Instead, she often comforted him: Life and death are fated; don’t worry too much.

“Hehe, you’re the silly one.”

Fang Wenjing pouted and retorted, then turned to look out the window.

When you’re in a good mood, everything seems wonderful.

They passed a park, and Fang Wenjing whispered, “Brother, I don’t want to go home so early. How about we stroll in the park for a bit?”

Fang Zhou didn’t object, only sending a message to Chu Xinran after parking the car.

Yiye Fangzhou: I’m taking my sister to the park. We’ll be back later, so head out a bit later.

Xinxin Xiangrong: Okay, you guys go ahead.

Chu Xinran had originally wanted to stay at Fang Zhou’s place yesterday, but he had refused.

If she stayed, he wouldn’t sleep well, and he needed to take his sister to the hospital the next day, so he had to be well-rested.

Chu Xinran was a bit disappointed but obediently went home, planning to contact him once he returned.

“Let’s go.”

Fang Zhou led his sister into the park.

Parks in the capital are mostly modern, with some retaining classical styles.

The one they were visiting had many classical buildings.

Fang Wenjing especially loved classic things, looking around attentively, unknowingly walking for over twenty minutes without complaining of fatigue.

Fang Zhou worried about her health and suggested they sit for a bit.

When they reached a plaza, they realized there seemed to be some event going on.

Crowds gathered, layers deep, as if something valuable was on display.

Occasional screams and shouts could be heard.

This made Fang Wenjing restless, frequently glancing in that direction.

Fang Zhou chuckled, asking softly, “Curious?”

His sister turned back, nodding vigorously, “Hehe, I want to know what’s happening inside.”

She hadn’t seen such a lively scene in a long time and wanted to join in the fun.

Normally, Fang Zhou wouldn’t allow her to go, fearing the crowd and potential trampling. She was so frail, she’d be easily lost in the sea of people.

But with today’s good news, Fang Zhou was in a great mood and willing to let her join the excitement.

“Come on, let’s check it out from the outside.”

They reached the outer edge but still couldn’t see inside. So Fang Zhou took her to a nearby rock pavilion for a better view.

In the center of the crowd was a row of tables behind a huge billboard reading “Genius Author Zhang Zhiyin’s New Book Signing.”

Fang Zhou realized Zhang Zhiyin was holding a signing event.

She had mentioned releasing a new book before, but he didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Very efficient.

Fang Wenjing also recognized Zhang Zhiyin, excitedly grabbing Fang Zhou’s arm, “Brother, Zhiyin Jie is your friend!”

“I really like her! I’ve bought all her books!”

“I can’t believe I’m so lucky to see her in person today! Ahhh! I want her autograph too!”

This was one of the rare moments when Fang Wenjing was truly excited.

Even earlier, when she heard about the kidney source, she wasn’t this thrilled.

When she encountered something or someone she liked, she turned into a chatterbox.

Fang Zhou smiled helplessly, patting her shoulder to calm her down.

“Getting an autograph is not a problem. I’ll ask her to sign a few for you later.”

But his sister pouted, “But I want it now! I also want to shake her hand, boo hoo.”

That’s her idol!

An author who could write such amazing sentences was standing right before her. It would be a pity not to interact.

And with so many book fans around, everyone was interacting with her, how enviable!

Fang Zhou’s words said otherwise, but he indulged his sister in everything.

He took her back to the event, first buying a physical book.

Then they headed to the crowd, using his height to push through while shielding his sister.

Luckily, there were only two lines of people ahead, most probably had already gotten their books signed but were reluctant to leave, taking photos of the author from the outside.

About half an hour later, Fang Zhou and his sister reached Zhang Zhiyin.

The author took the book he handed over, quickly signing it before looking up with a professional smile.

This time, she was stunned.

“Fang Zhou? What a coincidence!”

Zhang Zhiyin blinked, hardly believing her eyes.

“Hehe! Zhiyin Jie! Hi!”

Fang Wenjing peeked from behind, greeting Zhang Zhiyin. The fair-skinned little girl was very endearing.

“She insisted on seeing you; I couldn’t say no.”

Fang Zhou waved his hand, smiling indulgently.

Zhang Zhiyin hadn’t seen Fang Zhou for days. Suddenly meeting him, she was captivated by his bright smile.

It was like a cool breeze dispersing the oppressive summer heat, refreshing and soothing.

Zhang Zhiyin lowered her head, smiling to control her uncontrollable upward-curving lips, and said loudly, “What a coincidence.”

Suddenly, she felt the book signing event wasn’t in vain.

Wasn’t this an unexpected joy?
