Chapter 53 Attending the Welcome Party
Shi Jingsheng tried hard to suppress his laughter as he listened to what he said. It was so interesting, so very interesting. But Ziyuan was really bold. Didn't he think about what would happen after offending Yi'an?
"So how did you finally win Ilo over?"
"Hmph! I'm sure I have my own methods. What do you think is going on between him and that girl? We haven't seen her for so many days."
Shi Jingsheng felt that he shouldn't answer the question, and even less should he hear it.
"Let's not meddle in his affairs. Anyway, he never tells us, and we always have to find out on our own."
"You're right, but I've been abroad for so long, and you're with him every day. Haven't you noticed anything?"
"What could I possibly discover? If I had discovered anything, wouldn't I have told you already?"
Every time this topic was discussed, Lin Yi'an felt that Shi Jingsheng was acting strangely, as if he was guilty.
"I have a feeling that you two are hiding something from me."
"What could possibly happen between the two of us? Don't think so badly of us, okay? We're brothers."
Perhaps because of that statement, Lin Yi'an really didn't think about it.
When Lin Yi'an returned, it was raining heavily outside. He hurriedly ran back to the living room through the rain and bumped into Mo Ziyuan, who had just finished work and was coming downstairs to get a drink of water.
"You've finished your meeting? You've worked so hard, staying up so late every day. You're really good at staying up."
Mo Ziyuan remained calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.
"You're back quite early. I just finished a meeting."
Seeing how hard he was working, Lin Yi'an kindly told him, "Get some rest. You can work anytime."
"good."
……………
As the morning light streamed into the room through the gauze curtains, Lin Yiluo frowned, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
"What's wrong?"
The girl looked up, a hint of unease in the corner of her eyes.
"Brother Ziyuan, today is the last day of physical training, but I haven't gone for more than a few days. Is that a bad thing?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ziyuan raised his hand and gently patted the top of her head, his fingertips applying a tender touch.
"How could it be bad? Although we, Yiluo, don't go there often, we didn't do it on purpose, so Yiluo shouldn't overthink it."
"All right!"
After breakfast, Mo Ziyuan went straight to Lin Yi'an's room.
In the morning light, the boy, wrapped in a blanket, curled up in a ball, muttering into his pillow, "What do you want to do so early in the morning!"
"Get up and keep Yiluo company." The blanket was suddenly pulled back, and a chill rushed into the bed.
"What's wrong with Yiluo?" Hearing his sister's name, Lin Yi'an instantly woke up and propped himself up.
"Stay in her room and play with her. I have something to take care of." Mo Ziyuan's tone was as natural as if he were making arrangements for his own child.
"What do you mean 'I'll watch it for you for a bit'?" Lin Yi'an pulled his coat over his shoulders, glaring at her with a bristling expression. "Remember, Yi Luo is my sister!"
"And then?" Mo Ziyuan raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"you…"
"Alright, let her play in the room for a while. I have some things to take care of, so don't let her come out."
Lin Yi'an didn't ask too many questions, because he was wondering if it was the girl he had been longing for who had come to see him. If so, he really shouldn't disturb her.
"Okay, I'll get up and go find my baby Elo right now."
……………
Lin Yi'an had indeed misunderstood—standing in Mo Ziyuan's study at that moment were several upright physical training instructors.
Instructor Zhu held the report document in his hand, the metal badge on his uniform gleaming coldly under the light.
"Greetings, young master." Everyone bowed in unison.
After finishing the routine reports, Mo Ziyuan tapped the table with his fingertips.
"This year's list of outstanding students?"
Instructor Zhu opened the folder.
"The top three are Lu Ye, Cheng Yuan, and... Wen Shuyu."
"Wen Shuyu?"
Mo Ziyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his gaze suddenly darkened.
Instructor Zhu immediately noticed something amiss and quickly explained, "Although Young Master Wen joined the training program late, he scored almost full marks in combat, shooting, and physical fitness tests, and his training attitude is exemplary."
"Replace him."
Mo Ziyuan's voice was cold as he traced the names on the list with his long, slender fingers. "Change it to someone else."
"But..." The young instructor was about to speak when Instructor Zhu quickly grabbed his shoulder.
"Understood, we'll adjust right away." Instructor Zhu bowed slightly as he stepped out of the door, and as he closed the door behind him, he quickly pulled his still-dazed colleague away.
"Leaving already? The personnel haven't even been decided yet!" The young instructor pulled his hand away.
"You don't understand, of course we replace 'Young Master Wen' with 'Miss'."
"Oh! Wouldn't it be a bit unfair to switch to Miss?"
Another instructor standing nearby quickly spoke up.
"What's unfair about it? Aren't you two family? It doesn't matter who gets the outstanding student award."
…………
After finishing the matter, Mo Ziyuan hurriedly went to Lin Yiluo's room.
The girl sitting obediently on the bed reading her book stood in stark contrast to the man sleeping like a pig next to her.
Mo Ziyuan got angry just looking at him.
"Why is Yi Luo studying here?" Mo Ziyuan suppressed his surging emotions, but his voice involuntarily tightened.
“My brother said he couldn’t sleep, so he asked me to read to him so he could sleep well.”
"Oh, I see! Then come to my room, baby Yiluo. I have some bread baked by Aunt Zhang."
"good"
Before the girl could even get out of bed, Mo Ziyuan picked her up, his cool breath enveloping her in his warm body heat.
I'll carry you there.
After carrying the girl to his bed, Mo Ziyuan left the room. Lin Yilu didn't think much of it; he probably went to get her some juice, since juice goes best with toast.
In Lin Yiluo's room, Mo Ziyuan looked at the sprawled figure on the bed.
"stand up!"
He must have been sleeping too soundly to hear Mo Ziyuan calling him to get up.
Mo Ziyuan pulled his blanket back up again.
This time, Lin Yi-an was truly angry.
What are you doing?!
“I asked you to keep an eye on Ilo for me, and this is how you’ve been keeping an eye on him.”
Lin Yi'an ignored him and turned to look to the side—the person was gone! Startled, he sat bolt upright, his pupils shrinking as he stared at the empty bed. "Where's Yi Luo?!"
"You're not allowed to sleep in her bed anymore," Mo Ziyuan said through gritted teeth, a strange sense of irritation churning in his chest.
After calming down, Lin Yi'an asked him very smugly.
"Why? Can't I even use my sister's bed anymore?"
"Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
"We are related."
"That won't work either."
Seeing Mo Ziyuan's serious face, Lin Yi'an reluctantly stood up, but he was not convinced at all.
"I asked you to take care of her, not to take care of me."
"I didn't care about you, you're too dirty. You're not allowed in her bed. Even if she's your biological mother, you're all grown up now, have some self-control!!!"
If a man doesn't want to talk to you anymore, and you can't argue with him, then just ignore him.
Go back to your room.
"knew."
When he pushed open the door again, Mo Ziyuan had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a long box wrapped in red silk in his hand.
Since the girl was holding bread and couldn't free her hands, he naturally held the bottom of the cup to feed her.
Only after she finished swallowing did he shake the object in his hand.
"Brother Ziyuan, what are you holding in your hand?"
"This one! Ilo, guess."
"I don't know." The girl swung her legs, her hair trembling slightly with the movement. She didn't know what the man was holding either.
"This is Ilo's certificate of merit."
"Mine?" Her big eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Although I haven't been to Yiluo Physical Training for very long, I've always worked very hard every time I've been there, so this is what the instructor gave you."
"Brother, please open it for me."
As the red silk slipped down, the three gold-embossed characters "Lin Yiluo" came into view. A sparkle instantly ignited in the girl's eyes.
Wow!
Are you happy?
"I'm so happy, I'm so happy."
It was originally supposed to be given to Yi Luo by the instructor, but how could Mo Ziyuan let go of this opportunity to gain favor?
"How about we have lobster for dinner tonight?"
"good."
Suddenly remembering something, the girl said hesitantly.
"Can we eat it tomorrow?"
"Why"
"Because I want to attend the welcome party tonight."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ziyuan's fingers paused slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. In an instant, he regained his gentle demeanor and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"Sure, Yiluo can go if she wants." It's good for her to go and see; it's normal to be curious on her first time going to university. As long as Wen Shuyu keeps an eye on her, the man reassured himself.
"Thank you, brother."
