Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips.

He Yuxiang obediently complied.

Xiaoyu saw that his eyes were wide open and said, "Close your eyes."

He Yuxiang closed his eyes, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Xiao Yu was satisfied and began to tell him a story.

Her voice was soft, like a feather, soothing his anxiety little by little. He Yuxiang hadn't intended to sleep, but he slowly drifted off to sleep in the sense of security his sister provided.

Xiao Yu adjusted the fan speed, covered his stomach with a blanket, and, fearing he might have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night, placed a flashlight and a glass of water by the bed before quietly leaving.

When He Yuxiang woke up, he went to get his watch from the bedside table and saw that it was already eleven o'clock!
He slept at nine o'clock last night and went to bed for a full thirteen hours.

This feeling has been so long since I've felt...

Aside from fainting, he's probably never slept that long in his entire life.
He Yuxiang sat up, his gaze falling on the water glass and flashlight, a warmth instantly enveloping him.

But hatred followed.

If he can continue living in this body, then he will live well; if not, he will commit suicide the moment he realizes he is leaving.

He cannot have it.

Don't even think about getting this body.

He opened the door, the sun was high in the sky, and the hall was bustling with activity. He Yuxiang froze in place and didn't move.

The next second, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into view.

Chen Qing laughed and said, "You brat, you're back in the capital and you're not even going home? Do you want a beating?"

He Yuxiang saw that her eyes were full of smiles and she was gentle, completely different from the ferocious image he remembered. The two looked very similar, so how could there be such a big difference?

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Chen Qing clicked her tongue and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and help your uncle cook!"

He Yuxiang went to work without saying a word.

In the kitchen, He Yuan noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked, "Are you going to take out another loan?"

"No."

Looking at the flickering flames in the stove, He Yuxiang still couldn't understand why God had brought him into this world.

Even though he doesn't have biological parents, he is loved by his aunt and uncle, who are his closest blood relatives. Their care, nurturing of his interests, and emotional support are unparalleled by any other family.

At lunchtime, He Yuxiang watched his family having a lively meal, feeling both warm and detached from the home.

Xiaoyu noticed her brother's awkwardness, so after dinner she suggested taking him for a walk.

Chen Qing also sensed something was wrong: "Then you guys have a good time looking around, and let us know if anything comes up."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Xiaoyu took her brother back to their beloved old home.

On the way, Xiaoyu asked him, "Brother, do you know that although I haven't finished my apprenticeship, I already know a lot of things? If you don't believe me, you can tell me some difficult problems, and I can try to solve them!"

He Yuxiang knew that she was studying traditional Chinese medicine.

His sister is really outstanding!

He felt that no one in the world was better than his sister!

A world champion, a Tsinghua University student, and a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine!

He's a true all-rounder.

As for any special illnesses or discomfort?

That's a lot...

He Yuxiang pondered his symptoms and slowly explained them to her. Xiao Yu pressed for details.

He Yuxiang sensed something was amiss, but he had nothing to hide from his own sister. Since she was interested, he told her.

Xiaoyu put on her best acting skills and frowned, saying, "This is too difficult for me. It's so annoying. I'll have to think about it carefully later."

He Yuxiang said softly, "No rush, it's just hearsay anyway."

Xiao Yu's eyes darted around, and she said in a coquettish tone, "Brother, do you know what happened to our old family?"

"how's it going?"

"It's dirty! Hahaha, so you go clean up while I go buy some food. You have no idea, my uncle keeps an eye on me when he gets home, so I don't dare drink any beverages. Can you help me?" Xiaoyu clasped her hands together, "Please, please."

He Yuxiang didn't want to be separated from her, but he knew she was craving food, so he agreed: "Then come back quickly."

"Roger that!"

Xiao Yu saluted him.

He Yuxiang smiled and ruffled her hair, then took some money out of his pocket and gave it to her: "Go ahead."

Xiaoyu took it, turned and left. The moment she turned, tears fell uncontrollably. She hurriedly drove to the post office to make a phone call.

Some people in line ahead of her saw her crying with restraint and grievance, and gave her their phones.

"Thank you." Xiaoyu sniffled and dialed her master's number. "Waaaaah, Master, waaaaah..."

Doctor Pei had never heard her apprentice cry before. She was a very resilient person; even when the pain was so intense it felt like her bones were about to break, she could still endure it. Seeing her crying so miserably all of a sudden tugged at her heartstrings: "What's wrong? Don't worry, tell me slowly..."

“I…I have a very good childhood friend, but his health is so poor. I don’t know why his health is so bad.” Xiaoyu told him about her brother’s symptoms.

Doctor Pei sensed something was wrong. This child didn't sound like someone who had grown up normally. He was hungry, cold, and injured, even worse off than an orphan. It seemed like he had some toxins in his body, making him unsure whether the child's health was good or bad. "I feel he has a good constitution. Let's see how strong his will to live is. If it's strong enough, he can live for another ten years without any problem. If we continue to let him live, I can't guarantee how long he will live."

"Then why don't you write him a prescription?"

"Row."

Doctor Pei told her the prescription for conditioning her body.

Xiaoyu made a note of it, and after hanging up the phone, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bunch of delicious food. After calming down a bit, she went home. When she got home, she held up her hands to show her brother: "Look, I bought so much delicious food!"

Seeing her lively demeanor, He Yuxiang smiled slightly: "It's quite good."

"Brother, I've never seen you eat these snacks before. Why don't you try some?" Xiaoyu tore open the packaging and fed it to him. "This is peach shortbread. Try it."

He Yuxiang frowned as he ate: "Pretty...delicious?"

These crispy and crunchy snacks are quite oily, definitely expensive.

When he was a child, he would drool when he saw others eating, but today, he didn't feel the same longing he had as a child.

"Try this one too. This is a white flour biscuit. I'll also give you some Arctic Ocean soda."

Xiaoyu asked him to take the white flour biscuits and then went to find chopsticks to pry open the Arctic Ocean.

As He Yuxiang held the white flour biscuits, he suddenly remembered that this body had eaten these when it was a child. The reason it didn't eat them later was simply because this body was picky and didn't like them.

That Xiaoyu...

Does she know she's with him?
Did they know she was with her brother in another world?
Xiaoyu opened a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda and handed it to him: "Brother, I specially picked out this iced soda, what do you think?"

He Yuxiang lowered his eyes and took it. It tasted sweet and sour. "It's very delicious."

"Right! I love to drink too, cheers!"

The glass bottles from the Arctic Ocean clashed together, making a crisp sound.

He Yuxiang chuckled softly, "Cheers." (End of Chapter)
