From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Okay, I will start now! If it’s too much, please let me know!”

Jian Yiling crawled behind Wen Yan and began to massage his shoulders.

As she was only a five-year-old girl, her palms were incredibly small. She didn’t have much strength in her hands.

However, Jian Yiling did not know about this. Instead, she put all of her force into her hands and began to massage Brother Wen Yan’s shoulders.

“How is it?” Jian Yiling asked. Her voice was filled with anticipation.

Although Wen Yan did not feel anything, he didn’t want to tire the little girl out. As a result, he deliberately cried out: “You’re using too much force! Gentler please!”

“Okay, I will be more gentle!”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling was a little smug.

Jian Yunmo did not want to expose his cousin’s lie.

Wen Ruo was also in the room. When she saw the scene in front of her, for some reason, there was a sour feeling in her heart.

Brother Wen Yan was always so polite with her. However, he didn’t act the same to Jian Yiling.

“Yiling, you haven’t even massaged my shoulders,” Jian Yunmo commented with jealousy.

This time, it was a stronger flavor of jealousy.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling quickly comforted her brother: “Don’t be sad! I will give you a massage later!”

Waaa, her brother also wanted a massage. She was going to be so tired.

Jian Yunmo teased: “Well if you massage Brother Wen Yan ten times, you must massage me ten times as well! No less than that!”

“Waaa, okay then.”

In reality, her hands were already getting tired.

However, if her brother wanted a massage, she could only give him a massage.

When Wen Ruo heard this, she took the initiative to speak: “Brother Yunmo, I can massage your shoulders for you as well.”

Jian Yunmo smiled before he said: “It’s alright. I will wait for Yiling.”

After all, Jian Yunmo didn’t actually want a shoulder massage. He was just messing around.

After being rejected by Jian Yunmo, Wen Ruo felt a bit sad.

Why did everyone else like Jian Yiling? Why did no one like her?

After a while, Jian Yiling’s hands were too tired.

However, because of her pride, she refused to stop.

She said that she would take care of Brother Wen Yan! She couldn’t get tired this easily!

As Wen Yan sensed that the little girl did not have much strength left, he smiled before he said: “Yiling, my shoulders aren’t stiff anymore. However, I want to eat fruit.”

“Okay! I will go and get you some fruit!”

Jian Yiling jumped up and down on the bed.

“Brother Yunmo, let’s go and get some fruit for Brother Wen Yan!”

Then, Jian Yiling settled down on the edge of her bed as she wiggled her feet.

Jian Yunmo put on Jian Yiling’s pink sandals before he asked:

“Alright. Do you want to walk on your own or do you want me to carry you?”

“You don’t need to carry me! I’m grown up now! I can walk by myself!”

As soon as her sandals were on, Jian Yiling jumped off the bed. Then, she left the room with Jian Yunmo.

###

Jian Yiling woke from her dream.

This time, the dream was a little long.

Why did this memory suddenly come back to her?

What was it trying to tell her?

Jian Yiling sat on her bed for quite some while as she reflected on the content of this dream.

Then, her phone beeped. The notification interrupted Jian Yiling’s thoughts.

It was a message from Elder Yun.

[I’ve handled the matter. It will be announced tomorrow at the International Federation of Medicine.]

Once Jian Yiling read this message, she replied: [Sorry for inconveniencing you.]

Elder Yun immediately replied: [It’s not an inconvenience.]

A few other people sent messages to Jian Yiling as well. They were all messages of concern.

However, Jian Yiling did not know how to reply to these messages. Despite this, she knew that she should still reply to them. Therefore, she went to knock on Zhai Yunsheng’s door as she wanted him to reply to the messages for her.
