Kapitel 23: So Energetic this Early In the Morning?

Redakteur: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Thinking of this, Shen Hanxing wished she could beat him up a few more times!

However, she also knew that when dealing with such a rebellious child, she can't just treat him kindly. She revealed a faint smile and said gently, "In the future, if there is anything else that you want to play, I can go with you. I can also take you to experience more exciting activities...The activities that you are engaged in now are so boring."

After saying that, she waved at Auntie Chen. "Have the kitchen make some ginger soup. Second Young Master was caught in the rain today, the soup can help him get rid of the cold. Also, we have some ointments that can reduce swelling, right? Apply some on Second Young Master."

"Yes, ma'am."

Auntie Chen quickly ran over and asked politely, "Madam, you were also caught in the rain. Should I bring you some ginger soup to your room as well?"

"Sure, sorry to trouble you."

Shen Hanxing nodded. Auntie Chen quickly said that it was no trouble at all. Then, she satisfactorily went to the kitchen to make the soup.

Ji Zhou listened to the conversation between the two of them. He slightly clenched his palm and felt a burning pain from the beating. He never suffered such treatment before. However, this woman in front of him was ordering people left and right after beating him. So she was giving him a piece of candy after beating him? Did she think that he was so easily fooled?

Even though that's what he thought, his emotions were surging in his heart. When he heard her caring words and methodic orders, he felt as if his palm didn't hurt as much anymore.

Then, he asked, "Are you done with your lesson? Can I go upstairs now?"

Shen Hanxing nodded. "There's no rush. We have plenty of time in the future. Go upstairs, take a hot bath, and change into a dry set of clothes. Don't catch a cold."

After saying that, she walked upstairs first.

Ji Zhou looked at her slender and graceful back and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

The next morning, Ji Yang yawned as he went downstairs. When he saw Ji Zhou sitting at the dining table, he instantly woke up. "You're back?"

Didn't he stay out every night and indulge in activities that could kill him? Ji Yang felt that he wouldn't be surprised if he received news that Ji Zhou died during one of his life-or-death escapades.

Ji Zhou looked at his younger brother, who did not seem very smart, and frowned. "What does that have to do with you?"

"You!"

Ji Yang's expression changed, and he grabbed Ji Zhou's collar fiercely. "This is also my house. What do you think it has to do with me?"

"So energetic this early in the morning?"

Following the sound of a wheelchair, Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan appeared at the stairwell. Behind them was Ji Ning, who lowered her head and was quiet.

Ji Yang quickly adjusted his expression and released Ji Zhou's collar. His hand then landed on Ji Zhou's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I saw that second brother's collar was messy, so I reached out to help him tidy it up."

Ji Zhou impatiently slapped his hand away and sneered. His attitude was bad.

Shen Hanxing tilted her head to look at him, and Ji Zhou subconsciously added, "My collar is not messy. It's a style." With that, he pushed Ji Yan away. "If you don't understand my style, then stop messing around. Go sit down."

The two brothers looked at each other with fake smiles painted on their faces, maintaining peace on the surface.

Ji Ning sat next to Shen Hanxing. She picked up a soup dumpling with her chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of Shen Hanxing. She said softly, "Sister-in-law, time to eat."

Ji Zhou and Ji Yang's gazes swept over at the same time.

Ji Ning tightened her grip on her chopsticks. Although she was nervous, she still mustered up the courage to look at them. So what if she treated her sister-in-law well! She wanted to be kind to her sister-in-law!

Ji Mo took in the storm that was brewing between them and silently drank the milk in his cup. Then, he took out a piece of paper from his backpack. "Sister-in-law..."

There was a hint of embarrassment on his well-behaved and fair face. His black eyes, the same as Ji Yan's, hid emotions that he quickly quelled. He asked obediently and shyly, "There is a parent-teacher conference next month. Can you come, sister-in-law?"

He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were dark and gloomy, making him seem older than he was. He lowered his eyes to hide the probing and scrutinizing look in the depths of his eyes.

"Parent-teacher conference?"

Ji Yan's hand that was holding chopsticks trembled slightly, then he took the paper from Ji Mo. "Why didn't you tell me about this first?"

The two brothers glared at each other, silently communicating and battling each other.

Ji Mo was the first to lower his gaze. "Big brother is usually very busy and doesn't have time to care about these small things. And now...your health is not very good, and I didn't want to create more trouble for you."

"Xiao Mo [Ji Mo's nickname] is right, you need to take good care of your health right now." As if Shen Hanxing didn't notice the tension between the two brothers, she took the paper from Ji Yan, looked at the scheduled time marked on it, then thought for a moment before saying, "No problem, I'll be there on time."
