The way Zhai Yunsheng spoke made it sound like he was making fun of Jian Yiling’s pain and suffering.

Yu Xi thought to himself, was Master Sheng taking revenge for when Jian Yiling didn’t let him eat meat? Was that the reason why he came to visit God Ling today?

“You still can’t eat those foods right now,” Jian Yiling replied.

“You can’t stop me.”

“You still can’t eat those foods,” Jian Yiling replied. Her tone was strong and determined. However, her voice was quite soft which made her sound unintimidating.

Being sick and not listening to the doctor’s advice was no different from looking for death.

If Zhai Yunsheng’s doctor saw what he did on a day to day basis, he may have died from excess anger.

In all honesty, in the original novel, Zhai Yunsheng had also been a headache to deal with. He never took his life seriously.

“You can’t even take care of yourself. Why are you thinking about taking care of me?”

Yu Xi listened by the side. He felt that Zhai Yunsheng’s attitude towards Jian Yiling was a bit different from usual.

“I’m not doing this on purpose. You are though.” Jian Yiling retorted with a low voice.

When Jian Yumin saw the way Zhai Yunsheng was speaking to his sister, he interrupted the conversation:

“Mister, my cousin told you to watch your own diet for your own good. If you don’t want to listen to her advice, then forget it. Just think of it as my sister worrying over nothing.”

Cousin?

Huh?

Yu Xi looked surprised: “Your cousin? Who are you? When did the Jian family have an idol?”

“Who are you again? Why does it sound like you’re familiar with our family?” Jian Yumin replied with another question. He took another look at Yu Xi.

“I’m Yu Xi. I live next door to them. I know almost everyone from the Jian family.”

“You’re Yu Xi?” Jian Yumin asked. His eyes darted around Yu Xi’s body as he scanned the man again.

Then, he carefully compared the image of the person in front of him with the one in his memories.

The man in front of him did seem like that little kid called ‘Yu Xi’.

“Who the hell are you?” Yu Xi asked again.

“Jian Yumin.”

After he confirmed that the person in front of him was Yu Xi, Jian Yumin confessed his identity.

“Oh! You’re the big brother of Jian Yujie!” Yu Xi remembered that name. How could he forget Jian Yujie’s brother?

“Ahhh that makes sense now. I didn’t think God- I mean Yiling… Ahh, it turns out that you are Yumin!”

Everything made sense now. It was normal to be fed porridge by her brother!

After they figured out who the other person was, Yu Xi and Jian Yumin got along much better.

“And who is he?” Jian Yumin asked. He squinted his eyes at Zhai Yunsheng.

This man was different from Yu Xi.

“He’s my friend. He’s staying over at my house right now. He’s a good friend of Yiling. He’s usually on good terms with her.”

Yu Xi didn’t know how to introduce Zhai Yunsheng. He didn’t feel like it was appropriate to say his identity out loud. Furthermore, he knew that Master Sheng disliked people being eagerly attentive to him.

Although Yu Xi explained the situation, Jian Yumin’s vigilance towards Zhai Yunsheng was still not completely gone. However, his attitude was a little better than before.

Yu Xi smiled before saying, “Master Sheng, we’re here to see Yiling today. She’s still sick right now. There’s no need to joke around with her like that.”

Her brother was still watching.

When Yu Xi saw Jian Yumin’s attitude towards Master Sheng, he knew that Yumin was about to treat him like a bad guy.

However, Yu Xi didn’t know why Master Sheng’s attitude towards God Ling was so different from usual.

“Okay,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.

In his heart, Yu Xi chanted: Praise the lords.

Jian Yiling emphasized her previous point again, “Don’t eat foods that are bad for you.”

“Okay.”

Zhai Yunsheng suddenly changed his attitude completely. He stopped fighting with Jian Yiling and agreed with whatever she said.

Immediately afterward, he leaned back against the sofa and his posture became lazy.
