Chapter 141: Yiling's Friends (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
How was Jian Yiling so fortunate?
Jian Yunnao's eyes fell on Jian Yiling's body.
This was the first time since the incident that he had looked at her carefully for a long period of time...
At this moment, his emotions were in a mess. He didn't understand how he felt.
2
Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Yuncheng stared at Jian Yiling in a similar way. It appeared as though they had something to say, however, they didn't know what to say.
It was comforting to know that their daughter/sister had friends to come and visit her whilst she was sick.
However, her friends were quite 'special'. They were also closely related to the matter that the family cared about the most recently. As a result, none of them could feel relaxed in this situation.
Grandma Jian also had the same feelings. Although she appeared to look calm, she was also surprised and relieved at the same time.
It seemed as though the problem that she had been worried about all this time had been solved. Furthermore, it appeared as though she had made the right decision to let her darling play more games.
2
However, Jian Yumin's attention was entirely on the person who had answered the question. And that was Cheng Yi.

He wondered whether or not Cheng Yi was actually a gentleman. He wasn't ready to be deceived by appearances.
2
During his time in the entertainment industry, he had seen people who appeared civil and well-mannered on the outside. However, when he had gotten to know them more, they were worse than animals.
Although there were only a few people that were like this, it was still proof that these people existed.
Hong Baizhang was confused and also quite surprised: "For real? You mean Dr. F.S who has been in the limelight at your institution recently?"
Hong Baizhang had heard of this person before. Dr. F.S had published many groundbreaking research reports and academic articles recently.
Professor Xu never typically posted things on his newsfeed. However, he had posted several screenshots of passages in the reports. Accompanied by those screenshots, Professor Xu had also expressed his own thoughts and opinions on the research. It was as though he regretted not meeting Dr. F.S earlier.
Hong Baizhang wanted to laugh at such an action. However, at the same time, he still was incredibly impressed and envious of Professor Xu.
"Yeah, that's right." Cheng Yi said. Whenever he spoke, he always had a shallow yet warm smile on his face.
After they received confirmation, the expression on everyone's faces became even more complicated. The feelings and thoughts that were running through their hearts and minds could not be summarized by a single word.
Jian Yunnao felt that his heart was being roasted on top of a barbecue.
Jian Yiling knew the mysterious surgeon.

Then, what would she do?
For a moment, Jian Yunnao wanted to ask Jian Yiling. He wanted to know what she would do...
However, he suddenly remembered their stiff and awkward relationship.
During this period of time, they had so many conflicts and arguments...
All of a sudden, Jian Yunnao felt a trace of bitterness in his throat. He could only swallow back the words that had just reached his lips.
1
If he were to ask Jian Yiling, he might receive a response that was the opposite of what he wanted.
It was even possible that his words might annoy Jian Yiling.
And that would be the last thing that he wanted to happen right now.
The anxiety and bitterness were written on Jian Yunnao's face. However, not only did the Jian family see his expression, Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen also saw it.
The only person who didn't understand what was happening was Hong Baizhang. His mind was still full of thoughts regarding Dr. F.S.
"Did you meet Dr. F.S whilst playing a game?" Hong Baizhang asked.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Pretty much." Cheng Yi responded. He made a habitual motion of pushing up his glasses.
Hong Baizhang continued to fire away questions: "What game is it? I want to play as well!"
2
Hong Baizhang was already in his fifties. However, all of a sudden, he wanted to download the game that they had all been playing.
"Dr. Cheng, why don't you invite me to play that game later?"
Maybe he'd end up becoming friends with these big shots as well.

Luo Xiuen immediately interrupted Hong Baizhang with a look of disgust on her face, "You? Play a game? First of all, why don't you get out of this room? There are too many people here. The air isn't even going to be fresh. Are you even planning to let the patient rest?"
There were eight or nine people who stood in the hospital room. All of them had been chattering incessantly. How can someone rest in an environment like this?
Luo Xiuen began to drive people out of the room. The first person to be driven out was Hong Baizhang.
Grandma Jian also spoke out, "I agree. We can talk about these matters later. For now, my darling needs rest."
Then Grandma Jian turned around to speak to Jian Yunnao who had been standing at the entrance of the room: "Please remember that she is your sister. Even if you break a bone, it's connected to your muscle. Sometimes, you need to think positively. You shouldn't waste time and go on a wild goose chase. What's the point in that? You're only giving bad people the opportunity to lie to you."
3
Although Grandma Jian didn't clearly mention what she was talking about, everyone who knew what had happened could understand the implication of her words.
Jian Yunnao had already thought badly of Jian Yiling once. It shouldn't happen the second time.
Grandma Jian hoped that Jian Yunnao would learn to trust his sister again. She wanted him to let go of those bad thoughts that were in his heart.
Jian Shuxing bent over and said softly to Jian Yiling, "Yiling, your brother and I will go home first. We will come back to see you again in the evening. We've contacted your school to tell them that you are sick. Don't worry about it."
"Mhmm." Jian Yiling replied softly.

The sound of her voice inflicted pain through Jian Shuxing's heart.
Although his daughter had responded to him in a nice way, he felt that there was a long-distance that had been created between them. He didn't know why this was the case.
2
After a long period of hesitation, Jian Shuxing left the room with his eldest son.
As everyone left Jian Yiling's ward, Jian Yumin turned around and asked the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, when you go back later, could you bring me a change of clothes?"
Until now, he didn't have the opportunity to change his clothes.
To be on the safe side, Jian Yiling would remain hospitalized for tonight.
Jian Yumin had planned to stay with her for the night.
1
For the next two days, he hadn't been given any arrangements by his manager. He knew that he had a rehearsal later at night with his group, however, he wouldn't be able to attend that.
As soon as Jian Yumin spoke, Luo Xiuen suddenly squinted her eyes.
The voice sounded so familiar!
She recognized this voice. There was only one person with such a magnetic voice!

Luo Xiuen turned around to look for the person speaking.
Her eyes met a man who had unkempt hair. He was also wearing pajamas and slippers.
This man...
He was a little sloppy with the way was he dressed.
However...
"You... You... Why do you look like Xie Minyu so much?"
Luo Xiuen's voice was a bit loud. Her eyes stared at Jian Yumin.
Xie Minyu was Jian Yumin's stage name. The reason for using a stage name was because He Yan had been strongly opposed to him entering the entertainment industry. As a result, he decided to use a stage name when he debuted. He wanted to clear his relationship with his family.
Xie had been Grandma Jian's surname before she had gotten married.
Luo Xiuen continued to stare at Jian Yumin. The more she looked at him, the more resemblance she saw.
Even Cheng Yi recognized him. Although he wasn't a fan of the boy band Jupiter, he had seen the merchandise that Luo Xiuen had on her work desk. Under Luo Xiuen's influence, Cheng Yi could also recognize members of the band.

Jian Yumin raised his head and looked at Luo Xiuen. He saw the surprise in her eyes, however, he didn't really care:
"Yeah, that's me. What's the problem?"
He knew that his image was quite sloppy right now. It wasn't what he looked like on posters and videos.
However, did that matter?
At most, it was just losing a fan.
If his fans didn't want to support him anymore, he couldn't do anything about that. In the first place, he didn't know how to sweet-talk or coax them anyways.

"Oh my god! Is this actually Xie Minyu?! It's Jupiter's Xie Minyu!!!"
Luo Xiuen's reaction was filled with excitement. She pulled Cheng Yi backward and put him into a chokehold.
1
"Cheng Yi! Hurry up and look! It's Xie Minyu!!"
"Sister En, you should ask him for an autograph... That's what someone typically does when they see their idol..." Cheng Yi said with a strained voice. It was difficult for him to breathe, let alone speak!
Instead of choking him, asking for an autograph was the usual course of action
"Oh right! I want an autograph! I want a picture together as well!"
Once Luo Xiuen realized what was happening, she reached for her pocket. However, there was no pen and paper in her pocket.
If she couldn't get an autograph, she would get a picture together. Luo Xiuen took her phone out in a hurry.
When Jian Yumin saw that Luo Xiuen wanted to take a picture with him, he dived into Jian Yiling's bed. He pulled the blankets up and buried himself under it.
1
It was okay to lose fans. However, he still had a reputation to keep!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
He was an idol for goodness sakes!
Jian Yiling looked down to see the big ball in front of her.
She reached down to the blanket and made sure that it covered him completely.
3
Cheng Yi stroked his nose before he said, "Sister En, you successfully managed to scare away your idol."
At first, Luo Xiuen was in shock. After a while, she realized that something was strange. She turned around and asked:
"Yiling, do you know Xie Minyu?"
"Yeah," Jian Yiling replied.
At that moment, the voice of Jian Yumin came out from under the blanket:
"I'm her cousin."
Although his voice was quite muffled because of the blanket, it still sounded quite beautiful.
Xie MInyu was Jian Yiling's cousin?

"Wait... No way. Your surname is Xie. Whilst her surname is Jian!" Luo Xiuen's eyes lingered on the big ball under the blanket for a moment before her eyes went back to Jian Yiling.
"That's my stage name!"
Jian Yumin retorted from under the blanket.
It wasn't uncommon for idols to use stage names. In fact, it was more common for them to use stage names and not their real names.
"Oh right, idols often use stage names. Wait, so you're actually our darling's cousin?"
Her brain couldn't process the fact that Xie Minyu was Jian Yiling's cousin.
This fact made Luo Xiuen both surprised and excited. Typically, she would be swift and decisive with her responses. However this time, she reacted quite a few beats later.
"What do you mean your darling? She's our darling!"
Was it appropriate to say that Jian Yiling was their darling in front of her family? Absolutely not!
3
Cheng Yi coughed twice to break the tension in the atmosphere. "Ahem, Sister En, why don't we go out and let Yiling's cousin freshen himself up?"
He was an idol after all. They shouldn't be staring at him when he was in such a state. Ever since the morning, he hadn't yet had the time to wash his face and brush his teeth.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Fans should act like fans.
They shouldn't be sasaeng fans.
2
Luo Xiuen got dragged out of the room by Cheng Yi. Before she left, she chucked another look at Jian Yiling's bedsheets. However, she couldn't see anyone through the blankets.
1
When the door was finally closed, Jian Yumin peeked out from the blankets.
Jian Yumin gave Jian Yiling a soft smile before he climbed out of the bed. He went to the bathroom to freshen himself up.
After Luo Xiuen left the room, she remained in her bubble of excitement. She was so happy that she met her idol!
"Cheng Yi, I saw Xie Minyu! The real person!"
"Sister En, I don't know what virtues Jupiter has done in their past lives. I'm surprised that they have captured the entirety of your feminine heart."
1
Luo Xiuen didn't have much of a feminine heart. Despite that, Jupiter had captured its entirety.
"Cheng Yi, is your skin itching? Are you waiting to get smacked?"
"No, no, no. I'm not. I swear I didn't have that intention. I'm just happy for you!"

Cheng Yi changed his remark instantly.
"Um... Dr. Cheng and Dr. Luo. Are you guys free now?"
Hong Baizhang, who was nearby, had suddenly spoken up. He intervened in their conversation.
Earlier, he hadn't left. Instead, he had been waiting for them in front of the room.

Luo Xiuen turned her head around to look at Hong Baizhang before she said, "Old man Hong, I told you that we're not here to talk about work-related matters today."
"Oh, I understand. However, would it be possible for the two of you to give me an opinion on a few of the medical cases that I have?"
Hong Baizhang appeared as though he was pleading.
If he needed their help, he didn't plan to protect his self-esteem.
Cheng Yi paused for a moment before he replied, "Hm... I guess so. We're waiting for someone anyways. Let's go over and take a look."
Cheng Yi knew that Hong Baizhang had taken the effort to wait for them. Furthermore, if they were to wait in front of the ward, there was nothing for them to do anyway.
Luo Xiuen chucked another yearning look at the ward before she walked off to Hong Baizhang's office.
###
Not long after, Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng came to visit.
At that time, there was only Jian Yumin accompanying Jian Yiling inside the room. Wen Nuan had been called outside by Grandma Jian to have a talk.
As soon as Yu Xi entered the room, he saw Jian Yumin. He was laughing and cracking jokes with Jian Yiling.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
At this time, Jian Yumin had groomed himself. His appearance was stunningly handsome.
Yu Xi stopped in his footsteps.
Wasn't this man a member of some idol group?
Off the top of his head, he couldn't remember the name of the man. However, he had an impression of the man's face.
He remembered reading an article about this man. The Internet had said that he had a stunning appearance, a good voice, and amazing dance skills.
Out of all the popular idols right now, he was quite highly rated.
God Ling, what was this situation?
His memory flashed back to that time that they had gone to find Ji Ming. Back then, God Ling had stared at that boy group for quite some while.
And now, the two of them seemed to be quite familiar. In fact, their behavior extended the scope of ordinary friends.
According to Yu Xi's understanding of Jian Yiling, Jian Yiling didn't like having physical contact with anyone. If anyone got too close to her, she would instinctively back off.
To be able to get into a 20 centimeters radius of Jian Yiling... What was their relationship?

Hm...
When Yu Xi stared at Jian Yiling and Jian Yumin, the two of them directed their attention to him.
After so many years, Yu Xi didn't recognize Jian Yumin. Similarly, Jian Yumin was unable to recognize Yu Xi.
Amongst all of the children of the Jian family, Jian Yumin spent the least time at the Old Jian Residence.
Due to his choice in career, he hadn't been back to Hengyuan City for quite some time. As a result, he hadn't seen Yu Xi for a long time.
After Yu Xi entered the room, Zhai Yunsheng walked in as well. When he saw the situation in the ward, he sneered, "Did I come in at a bad time?"
Yu Xi hurriedly smiled, "I didn't expect to see an idol in God Ling's ward."
After he said that, Yu Xi walked forward and placed a few gifts on the coffee table.
"Yiling, who are these two people?" Jian Yumin asked.
"Friends."
As soon as she spoke, Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng could tell that she was a lot weaker than usual.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Oh, you're Yiling's friends? Are you here to visit her? Please take a seat."
Jian Yumin greeted Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng with a formulaic smile.
"Yiling, how's your health? I heard you have gastroenteritis?" Yu Xi asked. He was quite worried about Jian Yiling's condition.
"Yeah. That's why I can only feed her congee right now." Jian Yumin replied.
Feed her.
Hm... Those two words were quite interesting...
It appeared as though God Ling had quite an intimate relationship with this man.
Zhai Yunsheng took a few steps towards the sofa and sat down.
Jian Yumin took a look at Zhai Yunsheng. He gave off quite an arrogant impression. Furthermore, it appeared as though he wasn't easy to get along with.
Zhai Yunsheng took a look at Jian Yiling who was lying on the hospital bed before he said, "Last time, you didn't allow me to eat this and that. Now, it seems like it's your turn to not eat anything."

The way Zhai Yunsheng spoke made it sound like he was making fun of Jian Yiling's pain and suffering.
Yu Xi thought to himself, was Master Sheng taking revenge for when Jian Yiling didn't let him eat meat? Was that the reason why he came to visit God Ling today?
"You still can't eat those foods right now," Jian Yiling replied.
"You can't stop me."
"You still can't eat those foods," Jian Yiling replied. Her tone was strong and determined. However, her voice was quite soft which made her sound unintimidating.
Being sick and not listening to the doctor's advice was no different from looking for death.
If Zhai Yunsheng's doctor saw what he did on a day to day basis, he may have died from excess anger.
In all honesty, in the original novel, Zhai Yunsheng had also been a headache to deal with. He never took his life seriously.
"You can't even take care of yourself. Why are you thinking about taking care of me?"
Yu Xi listened by the side. He felt that Zhai Yunsheng's attitude towards Jian Yiling was a bit different from usual.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"I'm not doing this on purpose. You are though." Jian Yiling retorted with a low voice.
When Jian Yumin saw the way Zhai Yunsheng was speaking to his sister, he interrupted the conversation:
"Mister, my cousin told you to watch your own diet for your own good. If you don't want to listen to her advice, then forget it. Just think of it as my sister worrying over nothing."
Cousin?
Huh?
Yu Xi looked surprised: "Your cousin? Who are you? When did the Jian family have an idol?"
"Who are you again? Why does it sound like you're familiar with our family?" Jian Yumin replied with another question. He took another look at Yu Xi.
"I'm Yu Xi. I live next door to them. I know almost everyone from the Jian family."
"You're Yu Xi?" Jian Yumin asked. His eyes darted around Yu Xi's body as he scanned the man again.
Then, he carefully compared the image of the person in front of him with the one in his memories.
The man in front of him did seem like that little kid called 'Yu Xi'.

"Who the hell are you?" Yu Xi asked again.
"Jian Yumin."
After he confirmed that the person in front of him was Yu Xi, Jian Yumin confessed his identity.
"Oh! You're the big brother of Jian Yujie!" Yu Xi remembered that name. How could he forget Jian Yujie's brother?
"Ahhh that makes sense now. I didn't think God- I mean Yiling... Ahh, it turns out that you are Yumin!"
Everything made sense now. It was normal to be fed porridge by her brother!
After they figured out who the other person was, Yu Xi and Jian Yumin got along much better.
"And who is he?" Jian Yumin asked. He squinted his eyes at Zhai Yunsheng.
This man was different from Yu Xi.
"He's my friend. He's staying over at my house right now. He's a good friend of Yiling. He's usually on good terms with her."
Yu Xi didn't know how to introduce Zhai Yunsheng. He didn't feel like it was appropriate to say his identity out loud. Furthermore, he knew that Master Sheng disliked people being eagerly attentive to him.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Although Yu Xi explained the situation, Jian Yumin's vigilance towards Zhai Yunsheng was still not completely gone. However, his attitude was a little better than before.
Yu Xi smiled before saying, "Master Sheng, we're here to see Yiling today. She's still sick right now. There's no need to joke around with her like that."
Her brother was still watching.
When Yu Xi saw Jian Yumin's attitude towards Master Sheng, he knew that Yumin was about to treat him like a bad guy.
However, Yu Xi didn't know why Master Sheng's attitude towards God Ling was so different from usual.
"Okay," Zhai Yunsheng replied.
In his heart, Yu Xi chanted: Praise the lords.
2
Jian Yiling emphasized her previous point again, "Don't eat foods that are bad for you."
"Okay."
Zhai Yunsheng suddenly changed his attitude completely. He stopped fighting with Jian Yiling and agreed with whatever she said.
3
Immediately afterward, he leaned back against the sofa and his posture became lazy.
