Chapter 201: Qin Shixuan Meets Master Sheng
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Zhai Yunsheng, Yu Xi, and Jian Yiling arrived at a fancy restaurant that was owned by the Yu family.
Before their arrival, Yu Xi had already asked the restaurant manager in advance to reserve a deluxe room for them.
Although there were only three of them, they were still planning to have a whole table of food.
Coincidentally, Qin Shixuan was also planning to eat at this restaurant. After he learned that Zhai Yunsheng was also here, Qin Shixuan came to pay his respects to Zhai Yunsheng. He headed over to the private deluxe room that was booked by Yu Xi.
Although the relationship between the Qin family and the Zhai family was not considered good or bad, they were both the most prestigious families in the capital. Both families had a solid foundation.
Since they were eating at the same restaurant, Qin Shixuan couldn't have pretended to not see Zhai Yunsheng.
As Qin Shuan was only a member of the Qin family, his social standing was far lower than Zhai Yunsheng.
As a result, it only made sense for him to go and greet Zhai Yunsheng.
When Qin Shixuan entered the private room, there was only Zhai Yunsheng and Yu Xi in the compartment.
Jian Yiling had left for the kitchen. Once again, she was planning to grill mushrooms for Zhai Yunsheng. As the restaurant was owned by the Yu family, Yu Xi requested the chefs to help Jian Yiling prepare the food.

"Master Sheng, what a pleasant surprise. I never thought I'd see you at this place," Qin Shixuan started. Although he was older than Zhai Yunsheng, the way he spoke to him was still respectful and courteous.
Qin Shixuan was clear about the difference in their social status.
"Hello, Mr. Qin. What did you come to Hengyuan City for? Did you organize a chemistry competition to recruit talent? Isn't that age group a little too young?" Zhai Yunsheng asked. Although he was speaking in a relaxed manner, the look in his eyes towards Qin Shixuan was extraordinarily sharp.
Although Zhai Yunsheng looked like a person who doesn't really do anything with his life, in reality, there was nothing that escaped his eyes.
He knew everything that he needed to know.
"I'm the head of the Yao Li Chemistry and Advanced Materials Research Institution. It's my job to find talented individuals to join our organization," Qin Shixuan replied.
"Then, have you found any talented individuals?"
"I actually have. There's a young girl who looks timid and weak. However, her knowledge and understanding of chemistry have surpassed her peers by a wide margin. After I had a face-to-face conversation with her, I experienced an even greater shock."
Whilst Qin Shixuan was speaking, Jian Yiling had entered the room. She was carrying a plate of food into the private room.
When Qin Shixuan turned around, he saw the person that he was just talking about.
What was this situation?

There was a surprised expression on Qin Shixuan's face.
Why was the chemistry genius that he was talking about in the same compartment as Zhai Yunsheng?
Zhai Yunsheng was known to be difficult to deal with. Furthermore, there were very few people that Zhai Yunsheng found to be agreeable.
And finally, Zhai Yunsheng didn't like interacting with women. No matter how hard the Zhai family tried, he refused to have a girlfriend. He even refused to make normal female friends.
And for Jian Yiling to be close to Zhai Yunsheng... This was such a strange situation. Did the sun rise from the west today?
"Jian Yiling, I never thought that I'd see you here," Qin Shixuan said. He quickly recovered from his shock and greeted Jian Yiling with a smile.
Despite her young age, Qin Shixuan never showed any disrespect to Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling nodded politely to Qin Shixuan before she walked straight up to Zhai Yunsheng. Then, she placed down the plate of steaming food in front of him.
There were all sorts of tidbits on the plate. Each type of food only had a small quantity, however, there were many different types.
Although there were a lot of mushrooms, there were also plenty of other tidbits.

The smell of the food wafted around the room. Just looking at the food made one's mouth water.
"Eat the food slowly," Jian Yiling warned.
"Okay," Zhai Yunsheng replied. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Upon seeing the scene in front of him, Qin Shixuan was quite amazed. At the same time, he was also quite astonished.
Although the scene in front of him would be typically considered normal, if those people in the capital saw this, their jaws would drop in shock.
Master Sheng was notoriously difficult to deal with. However, he acted so easy going right now. Especially in front of a little girl.
Previously, Qin Shixuan's greatest interest in Jian Yiling was her knowledge of chemistry.
However, after this moment, his greatest interest and confusion was Jian Yiling's strange relationship with Zhia Yunsheng.
The most ill-tempered Young Master in the capital and the genius girl from Hengyuan City? This was quite an intriguing combination.
Yu Xi's mouth watered as he looked at the food in front of Master Sheng. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"God Ling, why don't you give me a plate as well?"
"Go and eat your own food."
Before Jian Yiling could say anything, Zhai Yunsheng had responded to Yu Xi. He gave Yu Xi a cold glare. The glare scared Yu Xi's saliva all the way back to his stomach.

"Okay, okay. I'll eat my banquet," Yu Xi replied. He shifted his attention back to the dishes that were on the desk. The restaurant chef had prepared a table of fish and meat dishes.
There were things that he was destined to have and not have in his life.

He was destined to not be able to try God Ling's grilled mushrooms.
Jian Yiling sat down as well. She started eating the dishes in front of her.
When Qin Shixuan saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh and comment, "Master Sheng, when did you start enjoying mushrooms?"
"Recently," Zhai Yunsheng replied nonchalantly. He slowly savored the food that had been prepared by Jian Yiling.
After watching with interest for a while, Qin Shixuan's attention fell back on Jian Yiling.
He had come to greet Zhai Yunsheng because of their social standings. However, his interest and desire to know more about Jian Yiling came deep from his heart.

"Jian Yiling, what are you planning to study after you graduate from high school?" Qin Shixuan asked.
"Medicine."
"Have you considered chemistry?"
"No."
There was no hesitation in her response.
Qin Shixuan had been thoroughly rejected.
"The future for chemical research is also very promising," Qin Shixuan started. He attempted to persuade Jian Yiling.
Yu Xi had also been listening on the side. He couldn't help but be surprised.
Was Qin Shixuan impressed by Jian Yiling's talents?
Was he trying to persuade her to study chemistry? It seemed like he wanted her to work for his organization after she graduated.
The Yao Li Chemistry and Advanced Materials Research Institution was quite renowned. Furthermore, Qin Shixuan was the head of the organization. Anyone that caught his eye was definitely not ordinary.

Yu Xi came to the conclusion that Jian Yiling was also good at something other than playing games.
"Nope," Jian Yiling replied. She once again rejected Qin Shixuan.
There wasn't the slightest hesitation in her voice.
Qin Shixuan hadn't thought that he would have been rejected so decisively.
Typically, the other party would have tactfully rejected him.
However, Qin Shixuan wasn't upset. Instead, he became even more invested.
Once again, he started speaking. He tried to convince Jian Yiling to study chemistry in the future. However, speaking for quite some time, he was yet again rejected by Jian Yiling. Qin Shixuan decided to stop asking for the time being.
However, he hadn't given up. Jian Yiling was still in her first year of senior high. There was still some time before she finalized her career path.
1
Then, Qin Shixuan invited Zhai Yunsheng, Yu Xi, and Jian Yiling to attend the charity dinner that was going to be hosted this weekend.
"Wow, Mr. Qin had no time to spare on his trip to Hengyuan City. First, you host a chemistry competition, and now you host a charity dinner?" Zhai Yunsheng mocked.

"You speak too highly of me," Qin Shixuan responded with a smile. "The charity dinner is organized by my wife. She's very passionate about doing charitable and benevolent acts. And I, as her husband, of course, will support her. It would be an honor for the three of you to attend my wife's charity dinner. Of course, if you're busy, it's okay if you can't make it."
Zhai Yunsheng didn't respond to Qin Shixuan immediately. Instead, he turned around to look at Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling replied in a quiet voice, "I don't want to go."
Although her voice was quiet, she had yet again, clearly rejected him.
Jian Yiling felt a little bad for rejecting someone's good intentions.
In her opinion, when Qin Shixuan suggested for her to change her career pathing, that was her personal matters and decisions. Of course, she could refuse him without a second thought.
However, he had good intentions behind inviting them to the charity dinner. As a result, she felt bad for saying no.
But Jian Yiling had no time to spare. Other than eating and sleeping, she had been working overtime these days.
"Then, we're not going," Zhai Yunsheng responded. He was incredibly direct with his answer.
Master Sheng didn't feel bad for saying no. If he wanted to decline an offer, he would.

"That's fine, that's fine," Qin Shixuan responded. He saw that Jian Yiling appeared to look a little awkward when she had declined his offer. He didn't want to make things difficult for her. If she had something on, he couldn't force her to come and join in on the fun.
After saying what he wanted to say, Qin Shixuan didn't linger around for any longer. He bid his farewell to Zhai Yunsheng and left their private room.
After Qin Shixuan left, Yu Xi couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, God Ling. I respect and worship you more and more now!"
It was quite a strange feeling. At a surface level, the little girl next door seemed to need their protection. However, as he gradually got to know her, Yu Xi admired her more and more.
It was like this when they were playing Zerg Invasion. And somehow, it was like that again right now.
Jian Yiling didn't respond to Yu Xi's admiration.
Instead, she focused on eating.
She said that she'd eat a lot of meat. So she would definitely have to eat more.
Upon receiving no response, Yu Xi glanced at Zhai Yunsheng. He noticed that Zhai Yunsheng was also concentrating on eating.
Erm...
Yu Xi paused for around five seconds. Then, he resigned himself and poured a cup of healthy and nutritious soy milk for both of them.

For now, he wouldn't think about anything else. Taking care of these two was his main objective.
Or else, who would carry him in Zerg Invasion?

After dinner, Jian Yiling returned home.
As Jian Yiling had been incredibly busy recently, Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng could tell that she was tired. They didn't want to take up any more of her time. Dinner was enough.
Although Yu Xi wanted Jian Yiling to carry him in games, he didn't want to make such a request when she appeared to be so tired.
Thus, when Jian Yiling got out of the car, he told her to rest well.
However, around nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Xi called Jian Yiling. He sounded incredibly anxious on the phone:
"God Ling, save me!"
This was the first time Jian Yiling heard Yu Xi's voice in such a panic.
"What's the matter?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yiling immediately put down the work that she had in hand and listened to Yu Xi attentively.
"Just now, Master Sheng cut his arm on the gym equipment. It's a huge cut. Around 7-8 centimeters in fact. However, he refuses to pay attention to his injury. In fact, he's still on the gym equipment! He refuses to rest! Ahhh, I'm going crazy!"
Yu Xi's voice was filled with worry.
If this was a normal person, Yu Xi wouldn't be so worried about a cut like this.
However, the injured person was Zhai Yunsheng. This made matters completely different.
Any injury to Zhai Yunsheng was not a trivial matter.
This was not only because he was the only child of the Zhai family, it was also because his physical condition was different from ordinary people.
Chapter 204: Take Off Your Clothes
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
And now, Zhai Yunsheng had inflicted such a deep cut on his body at the Yu Residence. Yu Xi and his father, Yu Simiao were both aware of the seriousness of the matter.
If Master Zhai and the head of the Tianxing Group heard about this, the Yu family would definitely be held accountable!
Furthermore, Zhai Yunsheng refused to take his injury seriously. He refused to go to the hospital and kept running around and exercising in the gym.
Yu Xi was about to cry. He was incredibly afraid of Zhai Yunsheng fainting at any moment.
However, he couldn't persuade Zhai Yunsheng to stop. Nor could his bodyguards. In his misery, Yu Xi suddenly thought of Jian Yiling.
He didn't know whether or not Jian Yiling could convince Zhai Yunsheng. However, it was worth a shot. He was willing to give medicine to a dead horse1.
Upon hearing Yu Xi's words, Jian Yiling immediately got up.
As she headed towards the Yu Residence, she asked: "How deep is the wound? How much blood was lost? Have you disinfected the wound yet?"
As the Yu Residence was right next door to the Old Jian Residence, it took Jian Yiling approximately five minutes to show up in front of Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng. She had ran all the way there.
The Yu Residence had its own gym. The equipment in there could be comparable to one of a professional gym.

As of now, Zhai Yunsheng and the others were still in the gym.
Jian Yiling's face was red and puffy from running all the way here.
She stood at the doorway of the gym and looked inside. The reckless man who didn't care about his health was still running on the treadmill.
As the interior of the gym had heating, the only thing that Zhai Yunsheng wore whilst exercising was a pair of gym pants. He wasn't wearing any shirt. Sweat was dripping down his upper body.
Typically, Zhai Yunsheng looked pretty skinny in his clothes.
However, without the clothes in the way, Jian Yiling could now see that the muscles in his body were incredibly tight and defined.

He didn't appear to be too skinny. Furthermore, the muscles were not overly exaggerated either.
However, the thing that drew her attention was the bandage that was wrapped around his right arm. Blood was still oozing out and staining the white gauze.
Jian Yiling stood at the door and stared at Zhai Yunsheng.
At that moment, Zhai Yunsheng also turned around his head to look at Jian Yiling.
Their eyes met.

Neither of them said anything. Instead, they stared at each other for around a minute.
Finally, Zhai Yunsheng accepted defeat. He got off the treadmill and picked up the towel next to him. He casually wiped off the sweat on his body.
Then, he put on the shirt that his bodyguard was holding.
After that, he sat down on the sofa. His posture was incredibly lazy.
It didn't appear as though he cared about the wound on his arm at all.
Jian Yiling walked over to the sofa. She knew that Zhai Yunsheng didn't really care about his life.
He was always reckless. He never cared about his health. If it weren't for the Zhai family looking after him, his reckless actions would have gotten him killed long ago.
As she thought about his ending in the original novel, Jian Yiling couldn't help but sigh. A sense of helplessness passed over her body.
She didn't want him to die. However, she also didn't know whether or not she could change his fate.
And that was because, as of now, she didn't even know whether she was able to change her own destiny.
When Zhai Yunsheng saw the expression on Jian Yiling's face, he couldn't help but become a bit irritated, "I've only hurt my arm. I'm not going to die. Why are you frowning like that?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yiling walked up to him. Her face was still dead serious.
She turned her face and said to the bodyguard next to her, "Go and get a damp towel. Make sure that it's warm. Furthermore, bring me a dry towel and a clean sweatshirt as well."
The medical kit was right next to her. There was no need to fetch for another one.
Upon hearing Jian Yiling's instructions, Zhai Yunsheng's bodyguard immediately went ahead and did what he was asked. He didn't even wait for Zhai Yunsheng to say anything.
Jian Yiling kneeled down next to the sofa. She was only 30 centimeters away from Zhai Yunsheng.
"Take off your clothes," Jian Yiling said.

Master Sheng laughed before he looked at Jian Yiling with eyes that were full of interest, "You're the first one to make such a bold request to me."
"The cut on your arm needs to be bandaged again," Jian Yiling added.
Yu Xi quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes. Jian Yiling is correct! Master Sheng, look at your gauze. It's soaked in blood!"
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling for a little while longer before he decided to listen to her. He took off the shirt that he had just put on.
Jian Yiling watched him take off his shirt. She didn't want him to make the wound worse.
When Zhai Yunsheng saw how carefully Jian Yiling was treating him, he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from upturning.
Following this, Jian Yiling removed the bandage on Zhai Yunsheng's arm.
When compared to her palm, Jian Yiling's fingers were actually quite long.

However, her body was considerably smaller than other people's. As a result, compared to an average person, the length of her fingers was still shorter.
Her slim and pale fingers steadily unwrapped the bloody gauze on Zhai Yunsheng's arm.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Her movements were skillful and calm. Her fingers appeared to be light and nimble.
Zhai Yunsheng tilted his head to look at Jian Yiling. Unconsciously, his ears began to turn red.
Then, he tilted his head away to look at something else.
During the first time the wound was treated, Zhai Yunsheng hadn't cooperated. Furthermore, after the wound was treated, Zhai Yunsheng had continued to exercise. He didn't take his health seriously. In turn, the blood seeped out and made a mess.
Jian Yiling took out the disinfectant from the medical kit and briefly treated Zhai Yunsheng's wound.
However, this time, Zhai Yunsheng hadn't put up any resistance. Instead, he let Jian Yiling order him around.
As Yu Xi watched the scene in front of him, he became overcome with emotions.
God knows how much effort they had put in when they tried to treat Master Sheng's wound...
If he had known that Master Sheng would have been so obedient with Jian Yiling treating his wound, he would have called her up ages ago!
After Jian Yiling treated Zhai Yunsheng's wounds, the bodyguard from before had returned. He had brought back the items that Jian Yiling had requested.
Jian Yiling picked up the warm and damp towel to wipe down Zhai Yunsheng's body.

"What are you doing?" Zhai Yunsheng cried out when the towel touched his back. His words stopped Jian Yiling in her actions.
At the same time, he reached out and pulled a blanket over his legs.

"You sweated a lot. You need to wipe off the sweat," Jian Yiling explained in a low voice.
"I'll take a shower in a bit."
"You're not allowed to take a shower today," Jian Yiling replied. Her expression was quite serious.
His wound was around two to three millimeters deep. And he still wanted to take a shower?
As Zhai Yunsheng looked into Jian Yiling's determined eyes, he swallowed the words that he planned to say.
Jian Yiling picked up the towel and continued to wipe down Zhai Yunsheng's upper body.
"Let Yu Xi do it," Zhai Yunsheng ordered.
Yu Xi quickly waved his hand before saying, "Master Sheng, I'm incredibly clumsy. I'm afraid I won't do a good job..."
2
Yu Xi had never wiped down someone else's body before. There was no way that he could do this!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
There was no way that he could do it as well as Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling's hands were much more gentle than his.
As soon as Yu Xi finished speaking, he received a cold stare from Zhai Yunsheng.
Immediately, Yu Xi took back what he had said previously. He hurried forward and said, "God Ling, let me do this. I'll handle this."
Jian Yiling handed the towel to him. She then explained in a serious voice, "Use this towel to wipe down his body. Then, use the dry towel to wipe his body down again."
Jian Yiling got up from the sofa and watched Yu Xi wipe down Zhai Yunsheng.
Yu Xi summoned his courage and forced himself to wipe Zhai Yunsheng's upper torso. "Master Sheng, please endure this. This is the first time I've done this."

Zhai Yunsheng's expression was very impatient. He hated the feeling of being treated like a patient. He hated it ever since he was a child. However, for his entire life, he had never been able to get out of such a situation.
