Nie Xi showed no signs of disdain as she ate heartily, even mimicking Yun Zhi Yue by serving her some dishes. The two of them chatted animatedly, recounting the various passersby Yun Zhi Yue encountered while sweeping the floor, laughing as if they were the only two people in the hospital room.
Nie Zhui watched Yun Zhi Yue intently, but he remained silent, showing no intention of speaking up. Nie Langyuan could no longer hold back; as brothers, they would not be so easily ignored, even by the highest leaders of the country. He stepped forward and pointed at Nie Zhui, asking, "Do you know who he is?"
Yun Zhi Yue replied nonchalantly, "Even if I were just a street sweeper, I wouldn't be unaware of the name Zhi Yao Yan Tuan. Mr. Nie Langyuan doesn’t need to introduce his brother."
"We come from different social classes; there's no need for us to know each other. You take care of your family, and I'll take care of my meal. Once I finish eating, I'll leave without disturbing you."
Nie Langyuan chuckled, "Oh? You even know my name well; you've done your homework." He seemed to ignore the underlying tone in her words.
Yun Zhi Yue shrugged casually, "What can I say? My younger brother worries about me running into bad people and made me look through a lot of information. I may not remember much else, but I do remember your faces."
Suddenly, Nie Xi threw down her chopsticks and erupted in anger for no apparent reason. She picked up her half-finished bowl of rice and hurled it at Nie Langyuan, losing control as she shouted, "Get lost! Get out! Even when talking to you, my sister won't look at me!"
Nie Langyuan dodged quickly but still ended up splattered with oil from the rice bowl, his shirt now stained and his expression darkening immediately. "Should I send you to a mental hospital?" he asked.
Nie Xi was oblivious to the threatening undertones in his words and dumped the rest of her food onto the floor. Her slender body in a blue-and-white hospital gown was engulfed by extreme emotions that seemed to have no outlet.
Though her movements were wild, Yun Zhi Yue saw a lost young beast within her—one that wouldn’t even lick its wounds because its world had been twisted from the very beginning.
Casting a dark glance at the silent man who coldly observed Nie Xi's outburst, Yun Zhi Yue sneered inwardly; he was quite skilled at playing games, having targeted her own kin! The scent of mandrake that filled the room confirmed Nie Zhui's identity; this time around, he had unexpectedly seized her target ahead of schedule.
"Ha! No wonder you're Yue Qi," she thought of the man who had taught her how to manipulate emotions. Even after several worlds of failures, he still managed to turn the tables in ways she never anticipated.
Would she let him witness Nie Xi's life extinguishing before his eyes? Absolutely not! She reached out and pulled the emotionally unstable girl into her embrace. Initially struggling against her grip with all her might, Nie Xi gradually calmed down—like a drowning person clutching desperately to a last straw.
Yun Zhi Yue felt her body lighten as she was lifted onto the hospital bed. The bright light faded away, and a white blanket covered them from head to toe, creating a small, dark space that belonged only to them.
On the single hospital bed, Nie Xi's half-body pressed against her, pinning her arms to her sides while his face nestled against her neck.
From outside the blanket, this posture appeared entirely inappropriate.
Nie Langyuan's shadowy expression shifted slowly into something strange.
"Hey, Yun Zhi Yue, if you can't speak, just struggle a bit to signal me. I'll get you out of this," he thought.
Amidst the rising blanket, a calm female voice emerged: "No need for your concern, Nie Xian Sheng. Your clothes need changing. When you leave, please make sure to close the door tightly. Thank you."
Nie Langyuan stared in disbelief at Brother He, pointing at the hospital bed with trembling fingers. He couldn't believe his eyes—were young people really this uninhibited nowadays? It wasn't just the hospital room; there were two elders present as well.
