Chapter 459 You really are my sister
"Yes, yes." Having finally managed to invite the person to our home, how could we possibly let them leave?
“My brother is still resting upstairs. He’s been busy with a project lately and works overtime until very late every day, so he gets up quite late in the morning.”
The group exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing her words. Du Yihuan broke the silence first, saying, "With work being so demanding, you shouldn't have time to go out and mess around."
Zhang Xiaoxiao pouted: "I think so too, which is why I suspect he might be possessed by some evil spirit."
Ye Wanxi gently rubbed the little creature in her arms, who was eager to eat the pastry, and then took a smaller piece, broke it into small crumbs, and fed it to the creature.
"Your brother has been staying at home all this time and hasn't spent a single night out?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and said, "No, my brother has always lived at home except when he was a boarding student."
Ye Wanxi looked up at the second floor of the Zhang family's house. Since they hadn't spent the night outside, yet showed signs of excessive indulgence, the problem most likely lay in this house.
They had only exchanged a few words when they heard footsteps coming from the second floor.
Recalling Zhang Xiaoxiao's words, the group immediately guessed who the newcomer was and instinctively headed towards the source of the sound.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a thin figure appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
But what they saw left them all stunned.
Good heavens, no wonder Zhang Xiaoxiao was so anxious. Zhang Fujia's face was so thin it was almost unrecognizable, and his complexion was as white as a ghost, with those dark circles under his eyes.
Thank goodness it's broad daylight; if I'd run into this at night, I'd probably be scared to death.
Ye Wanxi immediately saw his problem and frowned, saying, "Your vital energy has been depleted, severely damaging your body. If this drags on for a few more days, you'll be half dead, if not dead."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly pleaded, "Miss Ye, please save my brother. No matter the cost, I will agree to any condition as long as you can save my brother. Please save him."
Ye Wanxi was there to solve the problem, and even if she didn't say anything, she wouldn't let it go unchecked. She immediately took out a peace charm and handed it to her: "Take this to your brother."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up slightly. She was present when Ye Wanxi gave Wen Caiyi the peace charm, so she naturally knew that it was a rare and valuable item.
She hurriedly got up and ran to her brother, stuffing the talisman into his hand.
"Girl, what are you doing..." Zhang Fujia stopped speaking before he could finish.
As soon as the talisman was in hand, the chilling cold that had been clinging to my body for so long suddenly dissipated, replaced by a continuous flow of warmth.
Zhang Xiaoxiao stood to the side, staring at him for a while, before tentatively asking, "How does it feel?"
"It's...it's quite comfortable." Only after saying that did he remember to open his hand to see what Zhang Xiaoxiao had shoved into his hand.
"This is... a talisman?"
"Yes, brother, you've really been haunted by something unclean. Luckily, I found a master for you, otherwise, if it had dragged on for a few more days, I might not have a brother anymore!"
Zhang Fujia: "???" Although he had indeed been feeling unwell and in low spirits these past few days, was this some kind of curse that would kill him? Was this really his own sister?
Before he could think further, Ye Wanxi and the others had already surrounded him.
Zhang Fujia was taken aback, his gaze sweeping over the group: "Yihuan, Caiyi, you've come to celebrate Xiaoxiao's promotion to a higher grade. And this is..."
Zhang Fujia stared at Ye Wanxi for a few more moments, then asked in surprise, "Miss Ye...?"
"You know me?"
Not only Ye Wanxi, but Wen Caiyi and the others were also shocked.
"Xiaoxiao, did you mention my sister-in-law to him?"
"No, no, I never mentioned it to him." Zhang Xiaoxiao was also confused. "Brother, how do you know about Miss Ye?"
"Hey, what's the big deal? That brat Wen Jue is always posting super topic check-ins on his WeChat Moments, watching dramas and variety shows, acting like a complete brainless fanboy. Occasionally he'll post some weird stuff that nobody can understand. It's hard for me not to know about him."
"Wen Jue?" Ye Wanxi didn't recognize the name, but the surname...
What is Wen Yuan's relationship with him?
"Wen Yuan is his older sister."
Ye Wanxi turned her head and exchanged a glance with Gao Min, then understood.
However, Ye Wanxi was a little surprised that Gao Min's younger brother was actually a fan of hers.
Although she later reconciled with Wen Yuan, the blame that someone had placed on her was still quite complicated.
Ye Wanxi thought that even if the Wen family didn't make things difficult for her, they shouldn't like her.
It has to be said that some people have a really narrow circle of friends; they can bump into acquaintances just by turning their heads occasionally.
Since Zhang Fujia had seen Ye Wanxi in Wen Jue's WeChat Moments and knew a little about her, it was much easier for Zhang Xiaoxiao to explain.
"You mean, you invited them over today not to celebrate your college admission, but for me?"
"Hey bro, haven't you been looking in the mirror lately? Your complexion is really bad. It's a good thing you leave early and come home late every day and don't see Mom and Dad often, otherwise you would definitely scare them."
"Really?" Zhang Fujia subconsciously touched his face. "I've probably been too busy lately. I'll be fine after a period of rest. There's nothing wrong with my health. I had a physical exam a few months ago, and everything was fine."
Zhang Xiaoxiao became anxious: "No, no, no, brother, listen to me, your complexion is definitely not just because you're tired."
Ye Wanxi didn't want the two siblings to get entangled in such meaningless matters, so she asked directly, "How does it feel to hold the talisman?"
“This…” Zhang Fujia was still clutching the amulet Ye Wanxi had given him. After hesitating for a moment, he said truthfully, “I feel warm all over, which is quite comfortable. I’ve been staying up late a lot lately and I always feel cold and tired. But after Xiaoxiao gave me this just now, I suddenly felt much better.”
"That's it. Your forehead is dark, and the yin energy around you is so strong it's almost blocking your face. This isn't something you can get from staying up all night."
Zhang Fujia was stunned for a moment, his expression changing slightly: "Wh...what do you mean?"
Have you had sexual relations with anyone recently?
To be asked such a private question out of the blue, especially by a woman.
Zhang Fujia quickly crossed his arms and took two steps back, staring at Ye Wanxi warily, like a virtuous man who had been harassed: "No, absolutely not! I don't even have a girlfriend, how could I have had a relationship with anyone?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao muttered under her breath, "Does not having a girlfriend mean you can't have sex with other people? Where did that idea of one-night stands come from?"
"..." Sister, you really are my dear sister!
Zhang Fujia took a deep breath and, for the sake of his image, had to bite the bullet and clarify: "I swear on my integrity, absolutely not, I... I am still a virgin."
Everyone: "..." Oh ho, it seems we've accidentally stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip!
