Liu Nian ate the white porridge with relish, saying as he ate, "Yes, Auntie is doing this for my own good."

Since Liu Nian had said that, Jing Bolin had nothing more to say.

Seeing that Liu Nian had finished his bowl of porridge, Jing Bolin asked him if he wanted another bowl.

Liu Nian agreed, and Jing Bolin went to bring him more porridge.

But when he returned, Jing Bolin only brought back half a bowl of porridge. He said that the cook told him that he shouldn't eat too much after the surgery.

Liu Nian, holding the half-bowl of white porridge, said, "...What he said is all correct."

Meanwhile, Jing Baisen, who had been watching the scene through the surveillance camera in his study, felt as if Liu Nian was saying to him after hearing the words "He's right."

With complaints and resentment.

Wronged?

Jing Baisen smiled, thinking to himself, "Does that kid think he's not right enough?"

They should have exposed him from the beginning, ruined his reputation and future. Instead, they let him live in their home, lie on a soft bed, and drink hot porridge.

Isn't this considered doing him a favor?

For a whole week, Liu Nian ate only one meal a day, in the evening, and it was always plain porridge. He just managed to get through it.

He was finally able to move.

Knowing that Jing Bolin had gone to school again early in the morning, Liu Nian carefully moved his body and was able to reach the water cup without having to exert himself as much as before.

Liu Nian drank three cups of water in a row, making himself feel full from the water.

Then, clutching his wound, he tentatively stood up.

As soon as he stepped outside, he encountered Jing Baisen, who was about to go down the stairs.

Jing Baisen only glanced at him before deciding to go downstairs.

Liu Nian, however, acted as if they were very familiar with each other, and asked without realizing it, "Master Sen, could you come and help me up?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Baisen felt both bewildered and incredibly audacious.

He initially ignored him and just walked away.

But for some reason, he actually became a little interested in Liu Nian and walked towards him.

Before Jing Baisen even reached him, Liu Nian had already smiled and extended his hand towards him.

Jing Baisen was finally about to walk up to him.

At that moment, a glint of light flashed in Liu Nian's eyes.

Jing Baisen naturally noticed the glint in his eyes, and just as Liu Nian was about to fall on him, he immediately took a step back.

But little did anyone know, Liu Nian had no intention of falling on him at all; he was just holding onto the wall and making a feint forward.

Seeing Jing Baisen take a step back as if he wanted to avoid him, Liu Nian looked at Jing Baisen with a triumphant smile.

When he smiled, he even raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of smugness.

Upon realizing he had been tricked, Jing Baisen's face darkened, and he turned and left.

This is the first time someone has dared to play a trick on him.

Jing Baisen didn't care about himself anymore and went downstairs on his own. Liu Nian didn't call him back.

He clutched his wound and walked with great difficulty towards the stairwell.

Jing Baisen was already seated in the living room when Liu Niancai reached the top of the stairs.

Liu Nian descended step by step, and by the time he was halfway down, sweat was already beading on his forehead.

Jing Baisen glanced at him indifferently, but after that glance, he didn't look away immediately. Instead, he just stared at him and frowned.

For Liu Nian, going down the stairs was like losing half his life.

After going down the stairs, he walked towards Jing Baisen.

Even in this day and age, Jing Baisen is still reading a newspaper.

Liu Nian didn't dare to sit down next to him, so she just sat on the carpet next to the coffee table, her sitting posture making her look like she was pregnant.

After sitting down, Liu Nian stared at the coffee table, then looked up and asked Jing Baisen, "Master Sen, may I eat this apple?"

Jing Baisen glanced at him, but ignored him.

Liu Nian secretly reached out and took the apple in his hand. Then, he slowly moved his body, turning his back to Jing Baisen, and took a bite of the apple.

It's been over a week, and for the first time, Liu Nian has tasted something different from plain porridge.

That one bite almost moved him to tears.

Jing Baisen watched as this little bitch, who was secretly munching on an apple with her back to him, acted like she was burying her head in the sand.

"Bitch," Jing Baisen called him.

Liu Nian was stunned for a moment, not knowing that he was calling her, but still holding the apple, she turned her head to look at him with a blank expression.

How could those clear and innocent eyes possibly have anything to do with those two words?

Liu Nian just stared at him like that, and secretly, yet feeling very guilty, swallowed the piece of apple in her mouth.

Looking at him like this, Jing Baisen actually felt that the two words he had just used were rather inappropriate when applied to him.

He stared into Liu Nian's eyes and, before he could even react, asked, "What's your name?"

Liu Nian thought to himself, he still didn't know his own name, but since he had been asked, this must be a good opportunity.

So, Liu Nian, as if he had received a blessing, excitedly told him, "My name is Liu Nian. It's a homonym for 'flowing years,' so it's easy to remember!"

Liu Nian started chattering away: "Master Sen, have you seen that movie? It's by a very famous director..."

"Alright!" Jing Baisen interrupted him directly.

Liu Nian choked on his words, then gave a forced laugh.

To ease the awkwardness, Liu Nian took another apple and handed it to Jing Baisen, saying, "Have an apple, have an apple. This apple is so delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious apple before!"

Jing Baisen didn't even reach out to take it; instead, he simply turned and left.

As soon as he left, Liu Nian hugged the apples to his chest, thinking, "They're all mine!"

Little did he know that Jing Baisen had turned around after leaving and had just witnessed the scene.

Even just one apple can bring such satisfaction.

He doesn't seem like a greedy person at all.

Although Liu Nian went downstairs by himself, it wouldn't be easy for him to go back upstairs.

So he never intended to go up himself.

After finishing the apple, he took a banana and sat there watching TV while eating it.

He was watching an animated film, and he laughed so hard his wound hurt.

Although it's a virtual world, everything feels real, and the cartoons are just as good as those in real life.
