"How did you end up needing me to take you in?"
Ye Jiu's CPU burned out, and Huai You actually had the heart to kick him out? Besides, even if Huai You was ruthless, he shouldn't be someone who has nowhere to go! With his abilities, how could he be short of money!
"Huaiyou drove you away?"
Huaijin nodded, looking aggrieved. "Yes, he kicked me out of the house."
"Why?" Ye Jiu couldn't understand. What had happened? She had only been away from him for three months.
"I made a small mistake... I almost bankrupted the Huai family..."
"Huh?" Ye Jiu's brain froze. What kind of mistake could bankrupt the Huai family? "Then... he doesn't need your mental power anymore?"
“I lied to him that I couldn’t use my mental powers anymore.”
Ye Jiu gave him a thumbs up. "A good reason."
Huaijin: "Anyway, Song Baichuan is my man, so he'll say whatever I say."
Ye Jiu: "So he gave up on you?"
Huaijin: "They had a new child."
Okay, I understand. With a new account, there's someone to carry on the tradition, and Huaijin, who's "ruined," has naturally lost his value.
"Then where's your money? Shouldn't you be in a desperate situation?"
Huaijin's voice was muffled as he said, "I invested it. I'm short of cash. I didn't buy a house. I have no fixed assets."
Hesitating... well, even if you don't quite believe it, whatever you say goes.
So you came to the school to find me?
"Yes, sister, could you let me stay for a few days? Just a few days would be fine."
Ye Jiu was confused. "But I also live in a student dormitory. Where am I supposed to put you?"
"It's okay, I don't take up much space. You can let me sleep on the sofa, sister."
"But...you've been to my dorm before, the sofa there is just a small single sofa."
Huaijin: ...I was careless and blurted out nonsense, ptooey.
Ye Jiu laughed out loud, "Let's go, why don't you just come with me to a hotel? We'll make do for a few days, I haven't found a place yet."
Ye Jiu stepped out of his embrace. "Wait a moment, I'm going upstairs to get something."
Huaijin nodded obediently, "Yes, I'll wait for you here, sister."
Ye Jiu paused, her foot about to leave. "By the way, how long have you been standing downstairs waiting? Can your legs take it?"
Huaijin shook her head. "No, that's not true. I just arrived. Sister, please go upstairs."
Watching Ye Jiu enter the dormitory building, Huai Jin lowered his head and gently pressed his calf muscles. In fact, he had been waiting for an hour. He was too afraid that he would be late and not be able to see her.
The legs felt numb, sending signals of its unbearable strain to its brain, but its owner seemed completely oblivious.
A communication popped up on the computer, and Huaijin answered it; it was Yan An.
His expression returned to its cold indifference as he listened to Yan An's report.
"Boss, all your personal assets have been transferred to my account. I guarantee Miss Ye won't be able to find out."
How could Huaijin allow himself to be driven to desperation? He just couldn't think of any other reason to see her. As for the safety of transferring all the money to Yan An's name, he didn't care. It wouldn't take him long to earn that kind of money again. If he really ran away with the money and helped solidify his lie of being driven to desperation, he might even have to thank Yan An?
Yan An didn't care about getting a response, and continued, "Also, the Huai family secured the order from Sino yesterday as planned."
Huaijin nodded, "Let's proceed according to plan."
Huaijin then casually remarked, "Although this Sino company is teetering on the brink of collapse, we helped Huaiyou secure a big order, so he should still thank me. I've done a pretty good job as his son."
Yan An: Indeed, Xiao died.
"There's one more thing, boss. Dr. Song couldn't reach you. He asked me to remind you to rest, as you've been standing for too long today..."
Before Yan An could finish speaking, Huai Jin slammed down the phone. He glanced at the screen and saw a health notification on his personal terminal that he should rest. Huai Jin ignored it and turned off the personal terminal.
Just then, Ye Jiu ran downstairs, her footsteps getting closer and closer. "I'm fast enough, hahaha, I didn't keep you waiting long."
Huaijin smiled and took out a tissue to wipe the light sweat from her forehead. "Yes, soon. I didn't have to wait long."
However, if he's waiting for her, he won't get impatient no matter how long it takes.
"Let's go." Ye Jiu took his hand, which wasn't gripping his cane.
Huai Jin had just taken a step when he felt a piercing pain in his legs. He couldn't help but tremble and threw himself on Ye Jiu's body.
Ye Jiu hugged him tighter, "Does your leg hurt?"
Huai Jin nodded slightly. On one hand, he felt embarrassed, as he clearly wanted to leave a healthy impression on her. On the other hand, he felt that her embrace was warm, and that being cared for and held by her was a very happy thing.
Just as he had imagined, Ye Jiu picked him up in a princess carry once again.
He gripped his cane tightly, put it back into his storage bracelet, and buried his head in Ye Jiu's body, as if he was too ashamed to face anyone.
"What are you trying to prove in front of me?"
Ye Jiu weighed the person in her arms and concluded, "They've lost a lot of weight; they definitely haven't been eating properly."
Huai Jin, who hadn't eaten properly, didn't dare to utter a sound.
After a long pause, he whispered in protest, "It's because my sister's strength has increased again. You're mistaken. It's not that I've lost weight."
Ye Jiu smiled but didn't say anything.
She deals with those metal materials every day, and her strength has indeed increased, but her sense of weight has also become more precise. If Huaijin hadn't lost weight, she would have to change her name.
"Have you eaten? How about I take you to eat first?"
"She's had her nutrient solution."
"Okay, maybe you drank it specifically before coming to see me."
