Chapter 43 – I Think Your Brain is Not Well
How strange…
Her touch did not feel as despicable anymore.
And his heartbeat inexplicably increased.
"I… I didn't do it on purpose…" Yan Nai's voice faded into a whisper. He didn't dare meet Xiang Yi's gaze as he lowered his brows, the fragments of hair on his forehead blocking his translucent eyes.
Xiang Yi realized that the boy was scared.
Forget it, it was enough to scare him for a bit. The pretty little brother can have the privilege of being forgiven and loved.
"Are you hungry?" she asked.
"Nope."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Nai's stomach grunted in an untimely fashion.
The handsome face with a bit of baby fat immediately turned bright red.
Xiang Yi's lips curled up. "What do you like to eat? After we have picked kumquats, I'll make an additional meal for you."
Yan Nai's eyes were glowing… Such amazing things exist?!
Half an hour later.
A hot steaming bowl of rice noodles was placed in front of Yan Nai.
The rice noodles had been made by Xiang Yi beforehand. They were smooth and white, the texture al dente. Taking into account Yan Nai's preference for spicy and sour foods, she had boiled some fragrant meat sauce to top it off and mixed it with refreshing side dishes of green vegetables, filling up a large bowl.
Yan Nai wolfed down the dish happily.
"It's okay if you can't finish," Xiang Yi said. Her biggest pet peeve as a child was that she couldn't leave leftovers when eating over at other people's homes since the elders liked to fill her bowl with various dishes. The feeling of eating even when you're full was a painful memory.
Putting herself in his shoes, why would she make it so difficult for the child?
Yan Nai raised his head from the bowl that was larger than his face, his mouth glistening with grease, and showed a shy smile.
…Leftovers? Impossible.
He actually wanted another bowl.
Bzzz—
The phone vibrated; it was a voice call from Qin Wanyan.
Yan Nai hesitated for a moment then answered the phone.
"Sister Wanyan."
Qin Wanyan's gentle and concerned voice came from the other end of the receiver. "Ah Nai, I heard that there was an accident with your stream, are you alright? Are you hungry? Want me to call you some takeout and have it delivered?"
There was an overload at a signal tower nearby, and the livestream had to be temporarily paused. The crew had already issued an apology on Weibo.
"Thank you, sister Wanyan, but there's no need." Yan Nai's heart was aflutter; Qin Wanyan's considerate attention toward him had always made him happy."
Qi Wanyan deliberated over his words. "Ah Nai, I saw you only eating tomato and eggs during lunch, but Xiang Yi didn't even try to persuade you… Hey, she did such awful things to you and left a shadow in your heart but can't even care for you in the slightest…"
Yan Nai responded sternly. "Sister Wanyan, sister Xiang Yi has lost her memory, and she can't remember anything from the past year. If that's the case, then let matters in the past pass."
"???" On the opposite end of the receiver, Qin Wan Yan had already prepared a set of lotus words, but Yan Nai's words had stunned her so thoroughly she couldn't utter a sentence.
Sister Xiang Yi?
Didn't he say he hated that woman?
The fact that Yan Nai had once been violated by Xiang Yi was Qin Wanyan's biggest trump card.
From time to time, she would use it to brainwash Yan Nai and make him recall the pain so that he would feel nauseous whenever he thought of it.
This was the first time her trump card had failed!
"Also, sister Wanyan, sister Xiang Yi is not deliberately ignoring you. Her eyesight is bad, and she has pseudo-myopia and a thin cornea, so she can't use electronic devices frequently. She hasn't even used her phone at all lately, so I think she's not doing it on purpose. Okay, I'm going to hang up now, I have to finish my rice noodles."
Qin Wanyan: ???
You really believe in this amnesia and bad eyesight nonsense?
'I think your f*cking brain is not well!!!'
