From Sidekick to Bigshot

Upon hearing Jian Yuncheng’s voice, Jian Yiling turned around and told him the regrettable truth:

“There are no extra ingredients.”

The ingredients that were used to make the sushi had to be as fresh as possible. Especially the sweet shrimp and the salmon.

When Jian Yiling had bought the good quality ingredients, she had planned out how much to buy. She wanted to ensure that there was no wastage. Thus, she didn’t buy anything extra.

If she had the ingredients, she was willing to make sushi for Jian Yuncheng.

However, this was not the case. She wasn’t a magician. She couldn’t pluck ingredients out of the thin air. As a result, she could only give a straightforward answer to Jian Yun Cheng.

As he was unable to get food, Jian Yuncheng could only stand there and watch the members of the institution eat their food.

Jian Yiling returned to the kitchen and made a few rice balls from the leftover rice. She wrapped a thin piece of seaweed around the rice balls.

Then, she handed it to Jian Yuncheng.

This was different from the food that the others had gotten. The sushi that the members of the institution had gotten was both beautiful and delicious.

However, Jian Yuncheng had only gotten plain rice wrapped in seaweed.

Despite this, Jian Yuncheng willingly took the rice balls. He immediately began eating.

In fact, strangely, his expression even looked quite content.

After the meal, everyone still had some time to rest. Thus, Jian Yiling and everyone else started to play a game.

When they played mafia, Jian Yiling’s identity kept getting discovered first. As a result, she frequently got murdered first.

However, this wasn’t because everyone liked to bully her. Instead, it was merely because it was easy to read her expressions.

After a few games, the rest of them felt bad.

And thus, everyone else changed to a different game. This time, it was solving puzzles. And instead…

They got completely wrecked by Jian Yiling.

Every single time, Jian Yiling was the first person to find a clue and solve the riddle.

Hmmm… Was it too late to play mafia again?

Jian Yunnao returned to school.

He wore a special blue and white cast around his injured hand.

This cast was custom made for him by the research institution. It was designed to protect him and help him with his rehabilitation simultaneously.

Jian Yunnao’s return had attracted the attention of the students at the school.

[Oh my goodness, Jian Yunnao returned to school! Is his hand better?]

[This is awesome! Our piano prince has finally returned!]

[Wait, but isn’t he unable to play the piano now?]

[I’ve heard that an internationally renowned surgeon performed an operation on Jian Yunnao’s hand.]

[Is that true? That’s fantastic news! I want to know more about this miracle doctor! I want to meet them!]

[Waaaa. This is such exciting news! I wonder what Jian Yunnao thinks about the rumors that were circulating about. Back then, everyone said that Yiling pushed him down the stairs. Who do you think is behind all this? Do you think the Jian family can figure this out?]

[I’m just going to leave a comment here. If there’s any news, please reply to my comment. I want to follow-up on this post.]

Whilst the forum was in a passionate discussion, Jian Yunnao appeared in his classroom.

In the past two months, Jian Yunnao had lost a lot of weight. As a result, his appearance had become quite emaciated.

However, he had finally returned. He was finally back at school.

Upon seeing Jian Yunnao again, Mo Shiyuns’s feelings were incredibly complicated.

It had been a long time since she had seen Jian Yunnao.

Whenever she sent him messages, the replies that she got were quite cold.

Mo Shiyun was not a person who liked to stick her warm face against someone’s cold bottom.

And thus, when she sensed the coldness in Jian Yunnao’s replies, she stopped trying to reach out to him.

However, as of now, she still didn’t know what had gone wrong between them.

And thus, she didn’t know how to interact with Jian Yunnao now that he had returned back to school. Who was she to him?
