Haha, if he were Jun Yu, he would definitely slap him across the face.

"You call this not being angry?"

Jun Yu fed him another bite, but found that he turned his face away again. He could only reach out and pinch Jun Ran's cheek and laugh, "Can you look at me and talk to me properly?"

"I'm not looking. I told you I'm not angry. What are you doing!"

The sudden closeness, the warm breath on his face, the skin-to-skin contact—all these made Junran's heart race with desire.

Feeling lost and uncomfortable, Junran couldn't help but get angry and slapped Junyu's hand away.

"Xiao Ran..."

Although the force was very light, this action did indeed injure Jun Yu.

He had thought that Junran was slowly accepting him, but he never expected her to be so resistant.

"Big brother, I..."

Seeing Jun Yu's injured appearance, Jun Ran felt a slight pang in her heart and couldn't help but reach out to pull him aside to explain.

"Xiao Ran, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not considering your feelings."

Jun Yu lowered his head, scooped up another spoonful of food for him, and said with a slightly dimmed gaze, "Eat your food properly, your older brother won't bother you anymore."

"Big brother, I didn't mean to..."

Junran wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

"I know you're not feeling well right now, it was my fault for not thinking things through."

Jun Yu's eyes held a hint of sadness, but he tried his best to put on a gentle smile. "Come on, let's eat."

"Big brother was also injured. How is his injury?"

Junran opened her mouth to eat the food, only to find that it tasted bitter and was no longer as delicious as before.

"My injury can be treated with medicine, but yours is a side effect of the Blazing Flame Pill, which is unavoidable."

Despite feeling very upset, Jun Yu felt much better after hearing Jun Ran's caring words.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that he was probably hopelessly addicted to Jun Ran's charms.

But so what? He was happy to do it.

Regardless of whether Junran ultimately accepts him, he will silently protect her by his side.

When he got married, he became the best older brother; when he had children, he became the best uncle.

He can no longer live without Junran in this lifetime.

Being able to see him and do something for him is the greatest happiness.

Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and neither spoke a word throughout the meal.

"Xiao Ran, I'll be going out for a bit later. Remember to call the elders if you need anything."

It wasn't until after lunch that Jun Yu turned around at the door and said, "Now you are their only lifeline. Don't hesitate to ask them for anything. It's their duty."

"Then... be careful."

Upon hearing this, Junran knew that Junyu was truly injured. Otherwise, before this, Junyu had personally handled everything for him, never letting anyone else interfere.

He suddenly felt a sour and melancholy mood, a feeling he didn't know how to describe.

He really has become somewhat unlike himself.

"Um."

Jun Yu nodded slightly, then took his rice bowl and went out.

"Boss, bring the drinks."

Before long, Junyu arrived at a small tavern. The place was small, but the drinks were the cheapest in the area.

Having gone through so much recently, Jun Yu hadn't shown it, but he was really quite frustrated. If he didn't get out and relieve his stress soon, he felt he wouldn't be able to hold it in any longer.

From a prodigy to an orphan who lost both parents, he has now even lost to Jun Ran in terms of cultivation.

Losing to Junran didn't make him jealous; he just felt ashamed and frustrated. Want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?}"? Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to discuss life and find kindred spirits!
