"What are you doing here again? Honestly, aren't you annoying?" Leng Kang made no attempt to hide his dislike for Leng Yue.
Leng Yue wasn't angry. "Here's a talisman for you. I specially went to the temple to get it."
Leng Kang looked at the yellow talisman in Leng Yue's hand with a face full of disgust, "How can you be so superstitious? I really doubt if you actually went to university. You don't look like someone who has received higher education at all."
"Do you want it? I specifically asked for it." Seeing that Leng Kang wouldn't take it, Leng Yue didn't pull her hand back.
"Keep it yourself, I don't believe in this!" Leng Kang finished a piece of bread, then drank a glass of milk, and got up to leave the table.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Ya sighed again, "I really don't know what's going on between you two siblings? Honey, this is still Yueyue's kind gesture, so just take it!"
Leng Kang refused to reach out and even retorted to Zhao Ya, "What? Who says I have to accept her feelings? Look how you've spoiled her, she's starting to think she's someone important."
Zhao Ya was also unhappy. "Fine, fine, it's none of my business as an outsider. Do whatever you want!"
As Zhao Ya spoke, she got up and went back to her bedroom to change her clothes. "Zihao, hurry up and eat, then change your clothes and go to school."
"Oh, okay." Seeing that his mother was unhappy, Leng Zihao didn't dare to provoke her. He obediently finished his bread and milk, and then went back to get dressed.
"You don't dare? Are you afraid I'll poison you or what?" Seeing that no one else was around, Leng Yue provoked Leng Kang with words that were half-serious and half-joking.
But Leng Kang still ignored Leng Yue, saying, "Say what you will." Then he prepared to get dressed.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Leng Yue directly slapped the demon-suppressing talisman onto Leng Kang.
Leng Kang coughed as Leng Yue patted him, then turned to look at her. "Are you sick? If you're sick, go get treatment. What are you doing in my house? I have to go to work. Please leave."
As Leng Kang spoke, he walked to the door, opened it, and gestured for Leng Yue to come out. Leng Yue took a few steps back, took out all the talismans from her bag, and used them all on Leng Kang in a flurry.
Leng Kang, veins bulging with anger, roared, "Leng Yue, I'm not playing this game with you anymore..."
Suddenly, Leng Kang emitted a dazzling light, and then he fainted.
Zhao Ya and Leng Zihao ran outside upon hearing Leng Kang's roar, only to find him lying on the ground. They stared at Leng Yue in disbelief, and she quickly tried to explain.
"Sister-in-law, it wasn't me, I didn't hit him. Who knew he was so weak and collapsed so easily..." Leng Yue said, looking around. All the talismans she had scattered had disappeared.
Zhao Ya was furious, but Leng Yue was her sister-in-law after all, so she could only lose her temper and yell at Leng Zihao, "Hurry up and call 120! Can't you see your father has fainted!"
Startled by Zhao Ya's shout, Leng Zihao froze on the spot, completely at a loss for what to do. Come to think of it, it made sense; after all, Leng Zihao was only seven years old.
Seeing that there were no talismans on the ground, Leng Yue quickly said to Zhao Ya, "Sister-in-law, why don't we carry my brother inside first?"
Zhao Ya calmed down and, together with Leng Yue, lifted Leng Kang. Despite Leng Kang's relatively slim appearance, it still took the two women quite a bit of effort to lift him.
After settling Leng Kang in, Leng Yue was fine, her face showing no signs of distress. But Zhao Ya was a different story; for quite some time now, the child was panting heavily.
Once Zhao Ya had recovered, she called for an ambulance. The ambulance arrived quickly, and Leng Kang was carried into the hospital on a stretcher and taken to the emergency center.
Zhao Ya anxiously followed the caregiver around, undergoing a series of tests. After examining her, the doctor said everything was normal and there was nothing wrong.
Zhao Ya breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she returned to the ward and sat down next to Leng Kang, she heard Leng Kang snoring.
After examining Leng Kang with a stethoscope and other instruments, the doctor concluded that Leng Kang was simply overworked and could be discharged after waking up. He didn't need IV fluids or medication, as his bodily functions were perfectly fine.
Zhao Ya was both angry and amused upon hearing the doctor's words. She felt like she'd been through a chaotic battle, exhausted and terrified, only to be told that Leng Kang was merely asleep. Now, she truly didn't know what to think!
Leng Yue came along too, taking care of paying the fees and collecting the reports. After all, it was her own fault for causing the problem. Although she meant well, it was ultimately because of Leng Kang that he fainted. And just like that, Leng Yue's bank account was completely emptied. Not only that, but her credit card was also used up to a considerable amount.
When Leng Kang found out he was just asleep, Leng Yue was devastated! Could someone please save her bank cards and credit cards?
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have upset my brother today." Despite feeling upset, Leng Yue still sincerely apologized to Zhao Ya after everything was finished.
Zhao Ya was also extremely tired. "It's okay, it's okay. It's just your brother's fault for having a bad temper."
“Exactly, I also think he’s become quite petty now. He wasn’t like this before.” Leng Yue continued, following Zhao Ya’s words, also in order to understand some things.
"Yeah, your brother used to be so gentle, but he's become very irritable since he started working. Maybe he really doesn't like this job?" Zhao Ya looked at Leng Kang with eyes full of love.
"If you don't like it, you can change it. Why force yourself to act like a completely different person?" Leng Yue said, half tentatively and half sincerely.
Zhao Ya shook her head. "Men are different. They know their own limits. Especially after getting married and having children, they all feel pressure."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "The majority of the child's expenses are covered by Leng's parents, so why is there any pressure? I guess it just means that different people have different pursuits."
"Xiaoya, haha? Why are you all here?" Leng Kang woke up while they were in silence. After waking up, he became much gentler.
"Honey, are you alright? You scared me to death!" Zhao Ya rushed over to Leng Kang as soon as she saw him wake up.
Leng Yue laughed beside her, because Leng Kang had just called her "hahaha".
Leng Kang hugged Zhao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, you've worked so hard. It's all your fault."
"Honey, you haven't called me Xiaoya in so long. Every time you call me Zhaoya, it doesn't feel like you anymore." Zhaoya chided sweetly, "When you call me that, it feels like we're back in the days when we were dating."
"You're such a sweetheart, look at you, you're a mother now." Leng Kang said, but still went along with Zhao Ya, clinging to her affectionately.
Seeing them like this, Leng Yue quietly left to avoid being a third wheel.
"Zero, what exactly is going on? Wasn't it supposed to be a monster?" Leng Yue chatted with Zero while resting with her eyes closed on the way home.
"Perhaps Leng Kang, the soul being, made a mistake?" Ling Cai guessed.
"Did you put away the talisman I just used?" Leng Yue recalled the matter of the talisman from before.
Ling shook her head. "No, I didn't move. I felt like I was absorbed by Leng Kang."
"It can also absorb talismans?" Leng Yue was completely puzzled.
Leng Yue and Ling were drawn to Leng Kang's question, but they didn't notice that the taxi had already left the city and was heading towards increasingly remote areas.
