Why are you getting more and more gossipy as you get older?

Shang Yan retorted, grabbed the shirt from Old Zhong's hand, threw it aside, and lay down on the bed.

As Old Zhong applied herbal medicine to Shang Yan's shoulder, he hummed, "I'm not getting more gossipy as I get older, I'm just concerned about you. Your sister is five years younger than you, and she's already gotten married before you. What will it be like when her child is born and you're still single? Aren't you ashamed?"

"I really don't think so!"

When Zhong Lao heard Shang Yan say this, he felt like he had punched cotton. He wasn't angry, and just chuckled: "You don't think so, it's because you're in a situation now."

Seeing that Shang Yan didn't explain, Yu Sheng didn't say anything more and took a seat in the outer hall.

After applying the herbal medicine to Shang Yan and heating it with a medical lamp, Zhong Lao examined Yu Sheng's feet.

"It's alright, I'll apply some herbal medicine and warm it up for you too, I guarantee you'll be a beautiful bride the day after tomorrow." After saying that, Old Zhong pointed to a chair and said, "Move that chair inside."

Yu Sheng guessed that Old Zhong wanted to apply the medicine inside her body, but she still felt uneasy about what had just happened, so she asked, "Can't we apply the medicine outside?"

"Sure, but I thought it would be easier for you two siblings to talk if you lived close by."

"..."

Yu Sheng was speechless, practically screaming "We have nothing to say to each other" on his face.

But Old Zhong didn't notice, and she couldn't say it directly. She stood there, struggling internally for a few seconds, before steeling herself and moving the chair into the inner room.

Under the medical light, Shang Yan lay on the bed looking at his phone. Whether he was engrossed in his reading or simply too lazy to pay attention to her, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Put the chair there, sit down, and put your feet on the bed!"

After Yu Sheng did as instructed, Old Zhong still applied the herbal medicine to her. After he finished, he pulled over another medical lamp, turned it on, and pointed it at her feet. The skin covered by the light was immediately enveloped in a warm, sun-like feeling.

"Although your brother's personal life has improved, I don't think he cares at all. You should persuade him to settle down with Miss Li as soon as possible!"

"..."

Yu Sheng felt that Old Lady Zhong thought too highly of her.

Even if she could ascend to the heavens, she couldn't persuade Shang Yan!

After Dr. Zhong left, Yu Sheng glanced at Shang Yan, who was looking at his phone, and then at the dark herbs plastered on her feet under the medical light. She decided to find a variety show to pass the time, otherwise these forty minutes would be a bit too long!

I only realized I didn't have headphones when I opened the video app!

She dared not speak aloud, for fear of disturbing Shang Yan.

I had no choice but to give up variety shows and start reading novels instead.

Her mind was a mess, and her thoughts were a mess, so she couldn't concentrate at first.

After gritting my teeth and reading a few chapters, I gradually became engrossed in the story, and I relaxed completely.

When she was around chapter 20, she heard Shang Yan say, "I was just joking with you."

Yu Sheng paused for a moment, then looked at Shang Yan.

He didn't look at her; he was still looking at his phone.

So engrossed in reading the novel, Yu Sheng began to wonder if she was hallucinating.

As Yu Sheng was thinking this, Shang Yan turned around and looked at her with a sneer: "You didn't really think I was going to do something to you, did you?"

Upon hearing Shang Yan's words, Yu Sheng realized that she had not been hallucinating.

He was explaining to her what had just happened, saying it was just a joke.

But she didn't find the joke funny at all.

Moreover, it's inappropriate to make such jokes about their identities!

Yu Sheng was quite angry.

The crucial point is that he nonchalantly asked her: "Don't you think I'm really going to do something to you?"

Yu Sheng didn't want to say what was on her mind directly, so she said coldly, "Please don't make jokes like this with me again."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the smile on Shang Yan's face froze.

She knew that saying this would upset him, but even if it did, she had to say it.

That way, he won't make those kinds of inappropriate jokes with her again in the future.

Yu Sheng avoided eye contact with him and looked away at her phone.

The novel was still on the screen, but she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word anymore.

She could feel that Shang Yan was still looking at her. She didn't dare to look up, so she pretended to look and swiped her fingers across the screen.

Just then, Yu Jing called.

The sudden ringing of her cell phone startled her.

She quickly pressed the answer button.

"What time is it? Why aren't you back yet?"

Yu Jing's voice was filled with anger. Just as Yu Sheng was about to speak, Shang Yan's hand, with its distinct knuckles, reached out to her, his meaning clear.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Sheng placed the phone in his hand.

Shang Yan held the phone to his ear and called out, "Aunt Jing!"

Yu Jing, on the other end of the phone, was taken aback when she heard Shang Yan's voice: "Ah Yan? Why do you have Sheng Sheng's phone?"

“I was slightly injured and received treatment at Dr. Zhong’s place. She was there to take care of me.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing asked anxiously, "You're injured? What happened?"

"It's nothing, just a muscle strain from working out."

Upon hearing Shang Yan's words, Yu Sheng lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

Then Yu Jing said, "How could you be so careless? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious. I'll take Sheng Sheng home after I finish my treatment."

Yu Jing said "okay" twice before hanging up the phone.

Before Shang Yan could hand the phone back to Yu Sheng, it rang again. Seeing that it was Gu Ye calling, his cold eyes darkened, and he handed it to Yu Sheng.

When Yu Sheng saw that it was Gu Ye calling, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she hung up immediately.

She noticed out of the corner of her eye that Shang Yan was looking at her, and feeling somewhat embarrassed, she turned her body away a little.

Gu Ye's message came right after: [Not available to answer the phone?]

Yu Sheng: [Hmm.]

Gu Ye: [My brother-in-law told me that Yueyue almost pushed you down the stairs. Are you alright?]
