Chapter 332: How Can You Eat Rabbits
When Xun Shaorong saw Jiang Xingyi, he said happily, “Xiao Yi, you’re here.”
“Auntie, I’m here to take you home.”
“Aiya, that must be so much trouble for you.” Xun Shaorong said embarrassedly, “You’ve been working so hard recently. I’m really sorry for making you rush here. Why don’t you stay for lunch and I’ll prepare some home-cooked dishes for you?”
Xun Shaorong felt that it was inappropriate after she said that. She patted her head and said embarrassedly, “Aiya, I forgot. With my skills, the dishes I cook will definitely not be as delicious as those in a restaurant. Forget it, forget it. Just pretend that I never said that.”
“How can that be? Auntie’s cooking must be very delicious,” Jiang Xingyi said flatteringly. “Then, I will be staying at Auntie’s house this afternoon, please don’t chase me away.”
“You silly child.” Xun Shao smiled. “Alright, alright. Fortunately, I bought extra ingredients yesterday. I have more than enough to prepare today’s lunch.”
Jiang Yu blinked, looking silly and cute.
She softened her voice and said, “I want to eat braised rabbit.”
Jiang Xingyi also smiled.
He imitated the voice on a children’s show and said coquettishly, “Rabbits are so cute. How can you eat rabbits?”
Jiang Yu asked seriously, “Rabbits are cute. Doesn’t that mean they are meant to be eaten?”
Jiang Xingyi burst into laughter. He nodded and said in agreement, “Little Sister makes sense.”
Little Sister was really too cute right now. She was like a cute little white rabbit.
Xun Shaorong lovingly tapped the tip of Jiang Yu’s little nose. “I knew Yu Yu would like to eat this so I bought it yesterday. I promise I’ll feed you a lot today!”
Jiang Yu clapped her hands happily. “Mother Xun is wise!”
After spending some time with Xun Shaorong and An Yimin, she was finally able to say the words ‘mother’and ‘father’.
Although there was an additional surname before that, so they were now ‘Mother Xun’and ‘Father An’, this was already quite an improvement for Jiang Yu.
When Xun Shaorong and An Yimin had first heard these names, they were a little flattered. Jiang Yu had addressed them seriously. Tears almost fell from their eyes.
It was as if the treasure in their hearts that they had let go had finally returned to their embrace.
At that time, the two of them were still worried that the Jiang family would be unhappy if they heard this, but Jiang Yu had always been very persistent in her decisions.
She said, “You guys raised me in the first place. What’s wrong with calling you two my parents?”
Then, they saw that Jiang Xingyi and Jiang Zeyu didn’t have any objections to this form of address, so they didn’t say anything else with mixed feelings.
On the side, Jiang Jingnian saw how happy they were. He didn’t know why but his heart felt a little… itchy.
It was as if he was an outsider who was isolated by a glass barrier. Behind the glass barrier was a united and loving family. He watched their interactions from the side and was blocked out by their intimacy.
Jiang Yu raised her eyes and noticed Jiang Jingnian.
She asked, “Mother Xun, can we have another pair of chopsticks at home?”
“Of course! Are there any other guests coming?” Xun Shaorong agreed immediately. “Don’t worry, Yu Yu. Just ask for whatever you need. We have enough food, bowls, and chopsticks.”
Jiang Xingyi understood what Jiang Yu was trying to say.
He glanced at Jiang Jingnian.
Jiang Yu had already asked the question.
She looked up at Jiang Jingnian and asked, “Do you want to have a meal together?”
Chapter 333: Big News About Jiang Xingyi. Do You Want It?
Jiang Yu’s reasoning was simple.
Before An Yimin’s surgery, if it wasn’t for Jiang Jingnian’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to become the chief surgeon so easily. She would have to put in more effort.
She might have had to take An Yimin out of this hospital and carry out the surgery somewhere else. It could have been done, but it would have been troublesome.
Therefore, Jiang Jingnian had played a vital part. He had contributed greatly to this matter and Jiang Yu felt that it was necessary to treat him to a meal.
Although they weren’t going to a restaurant but just having a home-cooked meal, this was certainly more sincere, right?
Moreover, Xun Shaorong knew that Jiang Jingnian had helped, so she had always wanted to thank him.
Xun Shaorong’s eyes lit up. “That’s right, Doctor Ya, I know you don’t accept gifts but if you come to our house, I’ll prepare a meal for you. That shouldn’t be against hospital rules, right?”
... Xun Shaorong had always thought that Jiang Jingnian’s surname was Ya. Plus, she couldn’t pronounce foreign names.
Jiang Xingyi patted Jiang Jingnian’s back and advised, “Auntie has already invited you, so you should come.”
Jiang Jingnian was startled.
His gaze swept across the three people’s faces. Even An Yimin got up from the hospital bed and joined the army that invited Jiang Jingnian.
“Doctor, just come. It’s just a meal. It doesn’t cost much. It’s fine.”
Seeing that Jiang Jingnian did not immediately agree, Xun Shaorong hesitated and said, “Are you busy today, Doctor Ya? Do you have an operation in the afternoon, so you can’t leave? Then forget it. We won’t delay Doctor Ya’s work.”
Jiang Jingnian’s throat rolled.
It felt like some mysterious thing deep in his heart had silently cracked a tiny little bit.
His eyes darkened, then he smiled and said, “It just so happens that I have nothing to do in the afternoon. Thank you for your kind invitation. I’ll be coming over then.”
...
The group packed up and left the hospital.
Jiang Jingnian followed behind them with his hands in his pockets.
Jiang Xingyi was wearing a hat, scarf, and mask as he walked beside Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu was wearing a black hoodie. The wind outside the hospital was a little strong, so Jiang Xingyi had casually pulled up the hood over Jiang Yu’s head and had even tidied up the messy hair on her forehead.
At the entrance of the hospital, a van was already waiting.
Jiang Xingyi opened the door and let Jiang Yu and the others get into the car first. When Jiang Jingnian appeared, he raised his foot and got into the car before Jiang Jingnian.
Xun Shaorong and An Yimin sat together while Jiang Yu sat in the back seat by the window. Jiang Xingyi sat beside Jiang Yu without any hesitation.
Jiang Jingnian hesitated for a moment, deciding between the front passenger seat or the back seat, before quickly choosing the back seat.
He sat next to Jiang Xingyi.
...
In a hidden spot on the street opposite the hospital.
Someone had put away his camera.
He transferred the photos from the camera into his phone and quickly sent out a message.
“Look, I’ve got something good. Big news about Jiang Xingyi. Do you want it?”
...
In the car, Xun Shaorong seemed to have remembered something.
She turned around and asked, “Will Xiao Ywu be coming over later?”
Jiang Yu replied, “Yes.”
“Does Xiao Ywu know where our house is?”
“He has something to do first and will be coming over later. He wanted to come to the hospital but I told him to just go straight to the house. I sent him the address.”
“That’s good.” Xun Shaorong was relieved. “At Xiao Ywu’s age, he needs to nourish his body. I’ll make some fish soup for you guys later.”
Jiang Yu poked her cheek.
That was why it was good to have more people have a meal together.. They could eat more dishes.
Chapter 334: The Drama of Three Brothers
Jiang Jingnian had almost bumped Jiang Xingyi and Jiang Zeyu once or twice at the door of the ward. He hadn’t noticed what they were talking about, nor did he care about the atmosphere in the ward.
It wasn’t until today that he saw with his own eyes that Jiang Xingyi and Jiang Zeyu had such a harmonious relationship with the old An couple.
The two brothers weren’t that friendly or easy to get along with, but now they were so good and obedient?
He felt as if he was looking at the wrong person.
When they arrived at the An family entrance, Jiang Zeyu was already there.
He greeted An Yimin, “Uncle An, I’m sorry for being late. I didn’t have time to pick you up from the hospital.”
An Yimin waved his hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine. With Yu Yu and Xiao Yi here, it was enough.”
Jiang Zeyu’s tone was light. “Little Sis... Eh?”
Jiang Zeyu looked at the last person in the group and his face gradually turned from happy to horrified. “Eh, why are you here?!”
Why was he here?
Could it be that they just happened to bump into each other?
However, looking at Jiang Xingyi’s expression, he didn’t seem surprised at all?
Jiang Zeyu looked at Jiang Xingyi suspiciously. “Did you guys come together?”
“Yes, we met at the hospital. I heard from Little Sister that he’s been back for about half a month now.”
“You heard this from Little Sister?”
Jiang Zeyu pondered over the meaning behind his words and came to a realization. “Does that mean that he’s been by Little Sister’s side for some time now? Is he planning something?
“How can you do this, Jiang Jingnian? You didn’t even say a word when you came back. All you did was stare at Little Sister, you scheming man.”
Jiang Jingnian crossed his arms. “Why should I say anything when I came back? What are you going to do about it? Report me?”
Jiang Zeyu: “Of course not.”
“Then that’s it then.” Jiang Jingnian curled his lips. “Also, don’t be so rude.”
He said word by word, “Call. Me. Second. Brother.”
Jiang Zeyu pursed his lips and snorted.
Only then did Xun Shaorong react. Second Brother?
Doctor Ya was Xiao Yu’s brother?
Xun Shaorong had not been paying attention to the conversation between Jiang Yu and the other two earlier. She had been busy packing her things.
Later, she thought that Jiang Xingyi and Doctor Ya knew each other but she hadn’t expected that Doctor Ya and Jiang Xingyi were brothers.
In that case, Doctor Ya was also a member of the Jiang family and Yu Yu’s brother?
So, Doctor Ya’s surname was actually Jiang?
Xun Shaorong apologized, “Aiya, Doctor Ya, oh no, Doctor Jiang, I kept calling you by the wrong name. Why didn’t you tell me?!”
“It’s okay, either name is fine.”
Jiang Zeyu pursed his lips. “Amazing, you even have two names. Tsk tsk tsk... So, did you come back?”
Jiang Jingnian smiled and deliberately tried to scare him. “I came back... to snatch your sister away from you...”
Jiang Zeyu’s expression changed.
He was indeed a scheming man!
...
After An Yimin and Xun Shaorong entered the residential area, the residents upstairs and downstairs saw them. However, they quickly turned their heads and pretended to not see them.
Xun Shaorong’s expression did not change, as if she was used to it.
On the other hand, An Yimin had just returned and raised his hand happily. Just as he was about to greet them, the other party left in a hurry, as if he was avoiding some Plague God.
Jiang Yu watched the scene. She already had a plan in mind.
Upon returning to the An family home, even though Xun Shaorong had tidied up the house, it could not hide the fact that the house was already quite a number of years old. The walls were a little shabby and there was not much space. Today, just from these few people entering the house, especially the three tall and lanky men, they felt as if they could not stretch themselves.
They needed to move to a new house quickly.
Jiang Yu sat on the sofa, her fingers tapping on her knees. As she thought about something, the seats beside her were empty. Two men quickly sat down next to either side of her.
Jiang Zeyu said, “Little Sister, remember to come for training this week.”
Jiang Xingyi said, “Little Sister, we have to rehearse the song again this week.”
After the two of them finished speaking at the same time, they stared at each other with sparks in their eyes.
Are you trying to snatch away my little sister?
The corners of Jiang Jingnian’s mouth twitched.
From the looks of it, his little sister seemed to be really busy...
With this, did she really still have time to prepare for the college entrance examination?
