Chapter 21 The Cat That Stole Food
"Let's go grab a couple of drinks."
"No time, it's so late, I should rest."
"It's late. I'll go get two bottles. Tell me about you and the person you like. Tell me how far things have progressed."
The man ignored him; he was going to sleep anyway.
When Lin Yi'an returned, Mo Ziyuan was already lying in bed.
"Hey, don't go to sleep yet! We haven't finished talking yet. If we don't finish, how am I supposed to gossip with Jing Sheng tomorrow!"
Lin Yi'an kept talking to Mo Ziyuan, who responded casually.
Have you ever had sex?
Upon hearing this, the man suddenly thought of that night and felt a surge of heat.
"without."
Seeing that he had finally paid attention to him, Lin Yi'an suddenly became much more talkative.
"Why not yet? You can't do it. Tell me what difficulties you've encountered."
"She doesn't have that idea, but I'm pursuing her."
Lin Yi'an was really curious; he was curious about what kind of person his brother would like.
"Ziyuan, Ziyuan, I really didn't expect you to be able to pursue someone. How did you do it? Did you use your abstinent appearance to deceive them?"
"So what if I'm a fraud? It's still mine."
The man unconsciously twirled the ring, the cold metallic gleam reflecting the undercurrents in his eyes.
"No way, you're serious? What does she look like? Bring her here so we can meet her."
"No rush, there's still plenty of time. Let's talk about it later."
"Is it because their family doesn't agree?"
"I don't know what their family members are thinking."
"I wouldn't agree either, you heartless person. But I'm your good brother, so I'll give you an idea: when you're lying to him, why don't you lie to his family too?"
Mo Ziyuan looked at him.
What if his family finds out what I really am?
"True face? What kind of true face? Does it mean you're rich, powerful, and good-looking, or does it mean they know you're a big bad guy, a black-hearted bastard?"
"Yes, they are."
"No way, how did they know?"
“I didn’t hide it from them, so they found out.”
"Then you're finished. Who would marry their own daughter to you?"
Mo Ziyuan smiled but didn't say anything more.
………………the next day
Galaxy Nightclub
The crystal chandelier gilded Shi Jingsheng's smile, and the man seemed quite happy, drinking one glass after another.
Mo Ziyuan: "Jing Sheng, I remember you have a cousin who just got married, right?"
Shi Jingsheng thought about it in his mind.
"Yes, I do have a cousin who just got married. I think he's a university professor."
"So, is he going to take his honeymoon?"
"Of course, why are you so concerned about this?"
"Let him rest for a while longer, and I'll take his place as his teacher!"
Lin Yi'an quickly grasped the key words: university teacher, Mo Ziyuan to take over.
He stopped joking and cuddling with his female companion and suddenly sat up straight.
"You're going to be a teacher? Seriously? Are you crazy?"
"Go chase after a woman."
"What, which school does the girl you like go to, so you want to become a teacher for love?"
"right."
Shi Jingsheng was surprised.
"Which school and department do you want to go to?"
"Austin International College, Department of Finance"
Lin Yi'an looked at him. He was in the same school as his sister, and even the department was the one Lin Yi'an had planned for his sister to attend.
Shi Jingsheng looked at Lin Yi'an, wondering if Yi'an would think of something, or if he would realize that Mo Ziyuan was thinking about his sister.
But he was obviously overthinking it. Lin Yi'an and the other two had been through thick and thin together. He might have had some doubts, but he would only think it was a coincidence.
As expected.
"No way, Ziyuan, I was also planning to let my sister go to the finance department. I was worried that she wouldn't adapt well at school and would be bullied. Now that you're at school, I'm not worried anymore. You must take good care of her. When you get married, I'll definitely give you a lot of things."
"Okay, don't worry. I've already told you, your sister is my sister, and I will definitely take good care of her."
Shi Jingsheng felt that Mo Ziyuan was cunning, and even at this moment, he still did not forget to reassure Lin Yi'an.
"I'm going to the restroom, you guys keep drinking."
After Lin Yi'an left, Shi Jingsheng no longer tried to hide his true feelings.
"You've taken a fancy to Yiluo?"
Mo Ziyuan's silence was taken as tacit agreement.
“That’s Yi’an’s sister. If Yi’an knew, he would go crazy. You know that Lin Yi’an treats his sister like a treasure.”
"I will treat her like a treasure."
Shi Jingsheng pondered for a long time before asking.
"Are you serious?"
"I've always been serious."
"Yi'an will not agree."
Why didn't he agree?
"What do you think? Look at that darling little sister, she's beautiful, innocent, cute, and cuddly. And look at you, a white-skinned sesame-filled glutinous rice ball. Why don't you choose another one?"
"Change it to something else."
"You could like someone else, but do you really think Lin Yi'an would marry his precious little sister to you? If you liked someone else, you could at least use your looks to fool them, but Lin Yi'an is different. He's known all along that you're a heartless idiot."
Indeed, that's what Lin Yi'an said to him last night, but he didn't care; whatever he set his sights on would be his.
"Do you still want that experimental base?"
"Yes, you got it?"
"Help me if you need it."
"This isn't quite right. Lin Yi'an and I are like brothers; trying to bribe me like this is a bit..."
"Then you don't need it."
"No, no, no, I want it! I'll help you, okay? Don't worry, I'll definitely be your right-hand man. If you say east, I'll never go west."
"Okay, then get me some more of your medicine."
"What medicine? So you really gave it to her? Oh my god, be careful not to get caught. If he finds out, Lin Yi'an will go crazy."
"I know, give me something different this time."
"what would you like."
"I want both passion and hallucinations."
Shi Jingsheng looked at him, and finally gritted her teeth.
“Okay, I’ll give it to you, but I have to tell you something, Lin Yiluo, you have to be serious.”
"knew."
After hearing his words, Shi Jingsheng downed the glass of wine on the table in one gulp, seemingly to console himself for apologizing to his brother.
When Lin Yi'an returned from the restroom, Shi Jingsheng quickly walked over, put his arm around his shoulder, and held a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Come on, let's have some more drinks."
What's wrong with you?
"I'm fine. Aren't we brothers? Let's have a drink together. It's on me today."
Lin Yi'an dodged his hand.
"What do I lack compared to you?"
"Isn't this just a token of my appreciation?"
…………
When Mo Ziyuan and Lin Yi'an returned home, they unusually did not see the girl.
Lin Yi-an: Where's the baby?
Butler: "Miss has gone back to her room. It seems that Miss Wang and Miss had some argument."
Mo Ziyuan: "What's going on?"
Butler: "It should be about dinner. Miss doesn't want to eat the nutritious meal, but Miss Wang disagrees."
Mo Ziyuan looked at Lin Yi'an.
"Call Jing Sheng and ask him to come over. I'll go and comfort Yi Luo."
"Why are you comforting her? That's my baby. If anyone should be making a phone call, it should be you."
"But wasn't that nutritionist someone you hired?"
"Okay, you'd better try to comfort my baby."
As soon as Mo Ziyuan went upstairs, he saw Zhixia and Zhiqiu standing outside the door. Zhiqiu immediately started using sign language for Mo Ziyuan. Mo Ziyuan could understand sign language, and the general meaning was that the young lady was angry and was staying in her room, not letting them in or out.
Mo Ziyuan said something to her.
"Next time, if Miss is unhappy again, just let her stay by herself for half an hour. Don't let her stay any longer."
Upon entering, the room was filled with tranquility.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the pile of dolls in the corner, like the soft sound of spring rain falling on new leaves.
Mo Ziyuan walked slowly closer and indeed heard a soft chewing sound, like a little mouse stealing grain.
He reached into the plush toys and "pulled" Lin Yiluo out, who was curled up in a ball. The girl's cheeks were chubby and there were still hawthorn crumbs stuck to the corners of her mouth.
"We caught the little glutton stealing food."
A smile appeared in his eyes.
"I...I didn't steal any food!"
Lin Yilu hurriedly swallowed the hawthorn in her mouth, her fingertips nervously twisting the ribbon of the doll.
"You didn't steal any food?"
Mo Ziyuan flicked her flushed cheek with his finger, "Then our little dumpling will hide here and play hide-and-seek."
Lin Yilu tried to distract the man.
"Brother Ziyuan, this is delicious, do you want to try some?"
The man pinched the girl's small face.
"Weren't you unhappy? Turns out you were sneaking a bite here."
Lin Yilu pouted.
"I didn't steal any food, I'm hungry."
"Then why don't you go eat?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yiluo began to cry.
She suddenly grabbed the man's clothes, her almond-shaped eyes welling up with tears.
"That nutritional meal is cold and tasteless, Brother Ziyuan, can I have yours? Just a little bit!"
She extended her little finger and thumb, making a very small gesture, and the bow on the top of her head trembled slightly with the movement.
Mo Ziyuan agreed immediately.
"Okay, I'll share my food with you. Let's go downstairs to eat now, okay? Your brother Jing Sheng will be here soon."
"good"
…………
Shi Jingsheng was incredulous when he received the call.
"Lin Yi'an, what did you say? You want me to come over now? I just got home."
How could Lin Yi-an not know?
"Oh dear, I just needed your help. Hurry up, I've had dinner prepared. You've had so much to drink, you should eat something."
Before Shi Jingsheng could say anything more, Lin Yi'an quickly spoke up.
"Oh, right, remember to take a shower before you come, my sister can't stand the smell of alcohol."
The man hung up the phone immediately after speaking. On the other end, Shi Jingsheng looked at his phone and thought, "Damn it, if I hadn't just done something to offend him, I definitely wouldn't have gone."
Dishes were being served one after another at the dining table, all in anticipation of Shi Jingsheng's arrival.
Shi Jingsheng arrived quickly. He had already changed his clothes and was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, giving him a clean and handsome look.
He looked at the food on the table, and thought, "Hmm... it's quite a feast."
"Hello, Brother Jingsheng."
Shi Jingsheng also greeted the girl.
"Hello Yiluo, I didn't get to buy you a gift today because I was in a rush. I'll bring you one next time I come."
"Uh-huh."
Lin Yi'an noticed that the girl ate her dinner with extra relish tonight.
Under the carved chandelier, Lin Yiluo was scooping lobster meat with a silver spoon, her cheeks puffed out like a squirrel hiding nuts.
"How could you be so hungry?"
"The lunch was not good."
Mo Ziyuan used serving chopsticks to pick the crab shells off the girl, glancing at her slightly protruding belly out of the corner of his eye. He wondered if she had eaten too much, since she had just been eating snacks.
Shi Jingsheng watched Lin Yiluo, whose mouth never stopped. She ate all kinds of meat, including braised pork ribs and crayfish, and especially seafood.
"Ilo ate so much."
"Mmm, it's so delicious."
Lin Yi'an looked at her.
"Have I been letting you go hungry every day?"
"No, but the food here is better than ever before."
In the past, Mo Ziyuan and Lin Yi'an were used to eating very simple meals, and the girl was the same, eating simple meals as them.
After dinner, Lin Yi'an went to let the girl take a bath.
"Go take a shower first, I'll have a chat with your two older brothers."
"good."
After the girl left, Shi Jingsheng spoke.
"Ilo should pay more attention to what he eats."
Lin Yi'an: "What happened to Yi Luo?"
"She probably eats very little when she encounters food she doesn't like, but eats a lot when she likes food, which is bad for her stomach."
Lin Yi-an: "Okay, then we'll be careful."
Mo Ziyuan: "When should we examine her?"
Shi Jingsheng: "Don't you have everything in your medical room? The examination is easy, it just depends on what kind of examination is needed."
Mo Ziyuan: "What do you mean?"
"If it's a super detailed check, there would be dozens of items, which is a bit tiring, and I definitely won't be able to finish it tonight."
Mo Ziyuan: "Then let's do it tomorrow."
Lin Yi-an: "I also think it's better to check carefully. Let's do it tomorrow, and you can stay here tonight!"
Lin Yi'an spoke as if he were in his own home.
Shi Jingsheng: "Okay, then let's go for the full package tomorrow. Where should I stay? Find me a place close to your rooms. If that's not possible, I can stay in your room."
"Then I'll stay in Yi'an's room."
Lin Yi'an quickly stood up.
"No way, I'll sleep by myself."
Both of them looked at him.
Shi Jingsheng: "Why can't I sleep with you? Aren't we brothers? We used to sleep together when we were on the island."
Lin Yi-an: "Isn't it because of limited conditions? You can't come tonight, it'll affect my viewing."
Shi Jingsheng: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Yi-an: What do you think?
Shi Jingsheng: "It's okay, we'll watch it together."
At Shi Jingsheng's insistence, he still moved into Lin Yi'an's room.
As soon as he entered, he saw the wine on the table.
"Wow, this wine is pretty good! Why didn't you take it out when we were drinking together? Why did you hide it?"
"I wasn't hiding anything. If I wanted to hide it, you wouldn't be able to see it. Shall we have another drink?"
"Sure!"
Lin Yi'an: "Then I'll go call Ziyuan."
Shi Jingsheng hadn't originally intended to stop it, but he suddenly thought of something and quickly said something.
"Don't call him. Let's just drink our own drinks. He has an early meeting tomorrow."
"They seem to know quite a lot about it."
"Of course."
…………
Moonlight streamed through the carved window lattice, weaving silver-gray patterns onto the Persian carpet in the corridor. Mo Ziyuan loosened the mother-of-pearl cufflinks at his collar, his slippers making almost no sound as they stepped across the floor, but as he passed Lin Yi'an's room, he was caught red-handed by Shi Jingsheng's boisterous laughter, which reeked of alcohol.
The smell of smoke and alcohol wafted out from under the door.
Mo Ziyuan frowned slightly, glancing at Lin Yi'an's flushed neck as he drank with his head tilted back. Without lingering, he walked straight to Yi Luo's room.
The gilded wall lamps cast a hazy glow in the room. Lin Yiluo was curled up in a cloud-like down comforter, her lotus-colored nightgown rolled up to her thighs, with a section of her fair calf lying across the edge of the bed, rising and falling gently with her breath. Mo Ziyuan's Adam's apple bobbed as he reached out to cover her with the blanket, when he heard very light footsteps behind him.
It is knowing summer and autumn.
She recounted every detail: there were three blueberries left in the blueberry muffin, she hugged her teddy bear tightly during her nap, and she described everything from what the girl ate after waking up in the morning, to what she did after eating, how many times she drank water, how many times she went to the toilet, and how long her nap lasted.
"Miss had a conflict with Miss Wang at noon today. Miss didn't want to eat the broccoli in the dish, but Miss Wang told her that she had to eat it because she was a nutritionist and Miss should eat these things."
Zhi Xia was biased towards Lin Yiluo, and every word she said was a subtle way of protecting Yiluo.
Mo Ziyuan listened quietly, then suddenly said something.
"She's not drinking enough water."
Zhi Qiu immediately stepped forward to translate.
Zhi Xia: "I will be more careful."
