Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Each Serving Their Own Master

Zhen Yan also noticed his sister’s hand, and his expression immediately darkened.

"Is there medicine at home?"

"I’ll look for it!" Upon hearing Han Mingyue’s inquiry, Zhen Yan immediately got up to search.

Zhen Yu silently swallowed the words "No need" and pulled back her left hand to block with her right hand.

She looked up at the beautiful girl and said, "Bai Xue, it’s already dark, you and Fu Yu should head home first!"

"You must apply medicine, okay~" Bai Xue reminded her, then took her cousin by the arm and they left.

Fu Yu didn’t really want to leave, but Bai Xue dragged him all the way out of the Zhen family’s front door.

"Sister~ stop pulling me!" Fu Yu let go of Bai Xue’s hand, standing at the Fu Family’s front door, anxiously scratching his head.

"Don’t you see that Zhen Yan is angry?" Bai Xue said, hands on her hips.

Fu Yu, dissatisfied, said, "What does his anger have to do with me! I didn’t make him angry!"

Bai Xue scolded her cousin impatiently, "Do you have no sense at all? The host is in a bad mood, and you still want to hang around their place? Waiting for dinner?"

"I," Fu Yu couldn’t explain why he just didn’t want to leave first, but since they had left, he had to let it go.

Thus, with a displeased twist of his body, he left behind a phrase, "I’m going home to eat!"

He didn’t care about Bai Xue’s reaction and just went straight into the Fu family’s yard.

Bai Xue looked doubtfully at her cousin’s retreating figure, thought briefly, and then put the matter out of her mind.

Whatever~ the kid is probably just being troublesome!

-

At the Zhen family home, after Bai Xue and Fu Yu left, Zhen Yan returned empty-handed.

"Didn’t find it."

Han Mingyue immediately got up, grabbed Zhen Yu’s right hand, and wanted to leave.

"Come to my house for treatment."

Zhen Yu hesitated and finally said, "No need."

Han Mingyue stopped and turned, frowning at her, "Hurry up! Aunt Cheng will be home soon."

Zhen Yu quickly acquiesced, swiftly saying, "Let go~ I’ll wear a hat!"

Han Mingyue let go as told, took a hat, and helped Zhen Yu put it on, then continued to pull her towards the door.

Han Jiayang hurried to follow, and Zhen Yan had no choice but to lock the door behind them.

-

Along the way, Zhen Yan and Han Jiayang were on edge, listening to these two childish ghosts argue made Zhen Yu’s ears hurt.

It had no technical content; it was just a competition of who could shout louder.

"Han Mingyue! Let go of my sister!"

"Zhen Yan, why are you yelling! Don’t bully my brother!"

"I’m not bullying him! It’s him who’s bullying Xiao Yu!"

"My brother would never bully Xiao Yu!"

"If he wasn’t bullying Xiao Yu, how did she get hurt?!"

Zhen Yu didn’t want to shout back at those two big loudspeakers, simply choosing not to explain.

Han Mingyue also just silently pulled Zhen Yu along.

-

Until Zhen Yan explicitly questioned, "Han Mingyue! Did you cause my sister’s injury?"

Zhen Yu was about to say it wasn’t, but Han Jiayang quickly responded, "It’s not my brother’s fault! It was Zhen Yu who pounced on him, and I was pulling at his clothes from behind which made him fall down."

"He fell down, so how did Xiao Yu get injured? Don’t you know to protect Xiao Yu a bit?"

The first question was to Han Jiayang, the latter clearly directed at Han Mingyue.

"Sorry, I..." Han Mingyue turned his head to quietly apologize to Zhen Yu.

"You don’t need to apologize." Zhen Yu interrupted him and loudly said to her brother, "It’s not his fault."

"How is it not his fault?! If it wasn’t his fault then how could he tell that it’s your left hand that’s injured through the gloves!"

"Brother! It was my own fall." Zhen Yu didn’t want a lengthy explanation, and merely gave him a perfunctory response.

Unfortunately, Zhen Yan didn’t believe it at all.

"Nonsense! Falling would hurt the palm, how come it’s the back of your hand that’s injured?!"

Having been shrewd from a young age.

Zhen Yu: "..."

How is she supposed to explain this?

"She got hurt because she was protecting me." Han Mingyue turned around and apologized to Zhen Yan again, "I’m sorry."

Zhen Yuxin’s mood turned sour instantly, and she secretly glared at her brother.

Zhen Yan: "..."

This is so awkward! His own sister going out of her way to protect someone, how is he supposed to act protective as an older brother?

Pfft~ Protective my foot! Let her fend for herself!

Zhen Yan got angry.

-

It was pitch dark inside the Han Family home, clearly Mrs. Han and Mr. Han hadn’t returned yet.

Han Jiayang unlocked the door, while Han Mingyue turned on the lights and went straight behind the counter to search for medicine.

Northeastern people are used to dampening the fire with wet coal during the day, and at night they come home and air it out, adding some wood and coal to avoid having to start the fire again.

The skill of "airing the stove" is generally known by children when they are young; right after Han Jiayang entered the house, he headed straight to the stove.

After Han Mingyue applied medicine on the back of Zhen Yu’s hand, she reached out to roll up her sleeve.

"What are you doing?!" Zhen Yan, taken aback, hurriedly came over and pulled Han Mingyue aside to ask.

"Her elbow got caught too." Han Mingyue saw Zhen Yu dodging and not willing to have her own elbow checked, so she straightforwardly betrayed her to Zhen Yan.

"Which one?" Zhen Yan became worried upon hearing it, "Quick, roll it up and let me check!"

"It’s really nothing!" Zhen Yu’s veins are fragile, a light bump can cause bruising, knowing well the marks on her arm might startle someone, so it’s better not to show if not necessary.

Han Mingyue watched as Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu played a game of cat and mouse, remaining silent.

Zhen Yan, seeing his sister dodging around, knew she was hiding something.

She’s been terrible at lying since childhood—this act won’t fool anyone.

After gently catching her several times, only to have her dodge away, Zhen Yan couldn’t help but look up at Han Mingyue.

-

A mutual glance, and the two guys agreed, grabbing Zhen Yu from both sides.

Why, why? Isn’t this a bit too forceful?

Zhen Yu, caught between them, looked bewildered, feeling powerless inside.

Just look, her arm hurts even when bent, she really doesn’t want to dodge anymore.

But now that you two have joined forces against me, after checking please don’t start bickering...

Soon Zhen Yu’s sleeve was rolled up, but Zhen Yu didn’t hear any sound, as if those two had seen nothing.

Something isn’t quite right...

Zhen Yu glanced to the left, Han Mingyue with a serious face.

Then to the right, Zhen Yan with a stern expression.

"Should we apply medicine?" Zhen Yu awkwardly tried to find something to say.

"Yes!" They replied in unison, exchanged another look, and Zhen Yan walked away.

Zhen Yu: "..."

Han Mingyue continued with the medication, while Zhen Yu occasionally asked him to be gentle.

However, Zhen Yan had already disappeared after walking out of the hall.

-

After a while.

Han Mingyue was about to put away the medicine bottles, and Zhen Yu was slowly rolling up her sleeve when suddenly a loud argument erupted from the direction of the kitchen.

"Zhen Yan! Are you being reasonable? It’s about Zhen Yu,"

"I don’t care! My sister is hurt! From now on, keep your distance from her!"

"Fine, I will! It’s not like I wanted her attention!"

Han Mingyue dropped what she was doing and ran towards the kitchen, Zhen Yu, having only rolled up one sleeve, hurriedly followed.

"You better stick to your words! And it’s not just you! Han Mingyue too!"

"What did my brother do to you!?"

"Your brother, he,"

"Zhen Yan!!!"

Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue rushed to the kitchen doorway, and realizing that her brother’s words might turn against her, Zhen Yu decisively interrupted him.
