Chapter 170: Chapter 161: Compensation and Salty Egg Sister (4000 Characters!)_2

Under her effort, her feet clearly lifted three centimeters off the ground.

"This is too incredible," Qianye Cang, who had been observing from the sidelines, exclaimed in amazement.

She immediately noticed that Qianye Yuki was using her thigh muscles to lift herself, rather than her waist as usual.

Did this mean... after some more rehabilitation, Sister Ying would be able to walk on her own?

Qianye Cang found it a bit hard to accept, but the reality was right in front of her.

"You... you’re too amazing," Qianye Cang stuttered as she looked back at Beichuan Si.

Who would have thought that the person they had always wanted to help would end up helping them?

"This is just superficial, full recovery will still take time."

Beichuan Si, however, remained unshaken by the surprise shown by the twins, Qianye Cang and Qianye Yuki.

He stood up straight, his tone unchanged, "That will be all for today, give me a paper and pen."

"...Give you a paper and pen?" Qianye Cang blinked.

Beichuan Si looked at Qianye Cang intently, then said, "Write down my contact information and address, I can’t come here every day."

"Ah, right!" Qianye Cang came to her senses, nodded, and immediately went to get the paper and pen.

Beichuan Si shook his head in silence.

How could Yuki be so astute while her sister, Qianye Cang, seemed somewhat naive?

"I really appreciate it, Senior Beichuan," Qianye Yuki said as she bowed to Beichuan Si from the sofa, then she spoke again, "Senior Beichuan, I think we should talk about compensation..."

Qianye Yuki, being a very conscientious young woman who didn’t rely on her looks to trouble others for help, suppressed her excitement and took the initiative to bring up the matter of compensation.

"We indeed should talk about compensation," Beichuan Si nodded in understanding.

Qianye Yuki, currently a highly popular up-and-coming painter both domestically and internationally, sold her paintings well, otherwise, she wouldn’t be having an exhibition at the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art.

Those who held exhibitions there were often referred to as ’masters’ outside, and Yuki had even received many offers of professorships from universities.

Yuki and Qianye Cang were actually quite financially comfortable.

In other words, Yuki was also quite wealthy.

But—

"I hope you can mentor my sister in her painting skills."

Beichuan Si spoke calmly.

Teach a man to fish rather than just give him a fish.

Beichuan Si didn’t want to see Beichuan Huili continue as she was, especially since her interaction with Yuki today showed genuine enthusiasm, certainly not feigned.

Beichuan Huili definitely entertained the idea, so as her older brother, Beichuan Si might as well pave the way for her.

A brother is akin to a father.

Beichuan Si felt that helping his sister succeed was very important.

And conveniently, there was someone before him who could help his sister succeed, and Beichuan Si was not about to let this opportunity pass.

In fact, since the beginning of the treatment, Beichuan Si had this in mind.

Some knowledge is as valuable as money.

Uh—

Yuki, who was initially prepared to offer money, was stunned.

She had not expected the compensation Beichuan Si mentioned to be such.

Yuki discreetly looked at Beichuan Si.

Unexpectedly... Senior Beichuan was also a caring older brother.

This relationship was no different from her own with Cang.

Yuki immediately nodded in agreement:

"As you wish, Senior Beichuan, I will do my best to teach your sister about painting skills, starting from tomorrow. Have her meet me in this reception room, that should be alright, right?"

"Yes, thank you, you can be a bit strict, it’s alright."

Beichuan Si took the paper and pen from Qianye Cang, leaving his contact information while saying, "Miss Ying will come to my place every other day, remember to keep exercising."

"I will," Yuki solemnly kept the note and as Beichuan Si stood up to leave, she quickly said, "Let me walk you out, Senior Beichuan."

"No need, Miss Ying, you should rest your legs."

With these words, Beichuan Si opened the reception room door and left without looking back.

Meanwhile, Qianye Cang watched Beichuan Si’s receding figure in silence, unable to suppress her amazement:

"I always think Senior Beichuan... is so handsome..."

"...Hmm, not only good-looking but also a kind person who cares about family," Qianye Yuki recalled the attitude Brother Temple had earlier, caressing her legs.

His features were refined and his speech measured; even though his demeanor could be indifferent, it wasn’t off-putting.

This Brother Temple was indeed a decent person.

...

"What?! Starting tomorrow, I’ll be learning painting with Master Qianye?" Beichuan Huili widened her eyes as she stood in the tram after hearing Beichuan Si’s words.

She hadn’t expected to receive such treatment.

Beichuan Si nodded, replying, "I’ve arranged it all, just go directly to the reception room tomorrow and look for Miss Ying."

"..." Beichuan Huili.

Beichuan Huili’s gaze towards Beichuan Si grew increasingly odd, and it took her a while to nervously speak:

"Brother Temple, you didn’t put all our family’s savings into this, did you?"

"Hmm?"

Beichuan Si looked at her quizzically, seemingly asking why she would say that.

"...That’s Master Qianye there... it has been rumored online that a wealthy man wanted her to give exclusive drawing lessons to his son, offering a monthly salary of eight million yen for an hour a day."

"Is that so?" Recalling Qianye Yuki’s calm and humble expression, Beichuan Si was also slightly moved.

This girl was truly impressive.

"Yes, and Master Qianye even declined, saying that her painting skills were not yet sufficient to instruct others..." Beichuan Huili grew increasingly anxious, afraid that Beichuan Si was just joking with her.

What if she were turned away by Master Qianye tomorrow?

After all, the amount of money the Beichuan Family had wouldn’t interest the other party...

That’s a typical poor person’s mindset.

Beichuan Si hadn’t told Beichuan Huili that he had already saved over ten million yen.

He continued, shaking his head:

"Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of everything; you just go and find Miss Ying tomorrow, she will guide you in painting."

"...Okay, then, Brother Temple, how long should I probably stay?" Beichuan Huili looked at Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si shook his head, "I don’t know; it depends on how long Miss Ying keeps you."

"...So when should I go?" Beichuan Huili asked again.

Beichuan Si glanced at her obliquely, "I don’t know; going early is never wrong."

Hmm???

Beichuan Huili blinked.

Why did her older brother answer ’I don’t know’ to everything?

How could that reassure her?

A growing sense of foreboding made Beichuan Huili feel increasingly uneasy.

"If you are told to go, just go. Don’t ask too many questions; you’ll understand once you are there. Don’t you like learning from Miss Ying?"

"Not at all! Master Qianye has been my idol ever since she debuted three years ago. Then she went to Europe to participate in art exhibitions; she’s always been my idol—"

Beichuan Huili suddenly perked up.

"Then work hard and study tomorrow, and don’t disappoint my expectations," Beichuan Si interrupted.

"...Oh..." Beichuan Huili, who had been speaking enthusiastically, couldn’t help but shrink back a little.

In front of Beichuan Si, she was always just the annoying little sister, never able to rise above and become the older sibling.

Seeing her like this, Beichuan Si also scratched his head.

Wouldn’t this be sending trouble Qianye Yuki’s way?

But soon, Beichuan Si shook his head again.

No matter how much trouble she was, she was his own sister. He still had to take care of his own. He couldn’t neglect his family.

Moreover, Beichuan Si couldn’t manage Beichuan Huili that much, as he had his own matters to attend to tomorrow night.

The issue with the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory...

Should also be resolved, right?

Beichuan Si couldn’t help but cast his gaze into the distance.
