Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Grand General Xie’s residence.

Xie Cheng leaned back and lazily read his book, letting the girl in front of him ramble on.

“Brother, do you not like Ah Fu?” Xie Min sat at the side with an anxious expression. “Do you know that Gu Yunfu came again today?”

“Gu Yunfu has five brothers. Their family loves Ah Fu. If you continue like this, Ah Fu will marry into the Grand Master’s residence. Can you fight for yourself?!” Xie Min thought of Gu Yunfu and her five brothers and felt a sense of danger.

Xie Cheng acted as if he did not hear what she said. He raised his slender hand and flipped a page of the book.

Xie Min was stunned.

She suddenly stood up and exclaimed, “Brother, can you not give up on yourself?”

Xie Cheng took the book and looked at her with his long black eyes. “Give up on me?”

Xie Min took a deep breath and sat on the chair beside Xie Cheng. She said gravely, “Brother, listen to me. Although you have a broken leg and are indeed not worthy of Ah Fu, but—”

Xie Cheng leaned back and almost laughed out of anger when he saw her serious expression.

An obedient and fair face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Was she that good?

He shook his head gently, not wanting to argue with his sister. He lowered his eyes and continued reading.

Xie Min continued, “But you still have your looks! You’re better looking than the people in Master Gu’s residence. As long as you work hard, you still have a chance!”

The couch was by the window, and the mottled sunlight shone through the window and landed on the man, making him look even more handsome.

He flipped through the pages of the book. He still looked a little sickly pale. His lips curled as he repeated, “There’s still a chance?”

Xie Min nodded vehemently. “Yes! There’s still a chance! As long as you fight hard, you still have a chance! Don’t give up on yourself. Otherwise, when Ah Fu marries into the Gu family, you can only secretly cry over spilled milk!”

Xie Cheng lowered his eyes and sneered. “There’s no need. I’ve already broken my leg. How can I compete? It’s better to let her marry into the Grand Master’s residence and let me secretly cry over it.”

Xie Min suddenly stood up and shouted, “Xie Cheng! I’m talking to you nicely!”

Xie Cheng didn’t even look up. His thick eyelashes exuded indifference. “I’m also talking to you nicely.”

Xie Min gritted her teeth and looked at him. “Alright, Xie Cheng, don’t blame me for not reminding you when you cry over losing Jiang Fu!”

Xie Cheng was still looking down as he said casually, “Yes, thank you for the reminder.”

However, there was a high chance that he would not cry because of this.

Xie Min was furious. She stood there and looked at him. She said sarcastically, “So you only injured your leg. I thought you’d injured your eyes as well. How could you’ve got no taste at all?”

Not only was Xie Cheng not angry, but he also nodded nonchalantly. “Indeed, the battlefield is dangerous. It’s possible to hurt your eyes.”

Xie Min was flustered and exasperated. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Eleven run in angrily with a large pile of things in his arms.

They were from Jiang Fu.

She looked at what Eleven was holding. “Did you go to Ah Fu’s place?”

Xie Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him. Then, he lowered his head and said faintly, “You’re back.”

Seeing that Xie Min was also here, Eleven lowered his head slightly and said in a hoarse voice, “Miss.”

“You went to Ah Fu’s place?” Xie Min saw that his eyes were red and he was in a bad mood. She asked, “What’s wrong? Did you snatch anything from them?”
