Chapter 167: Doesn’t Dislike the Hug

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

It took a while for the noise in the hospital ward to subside. At last, Jian Yumin sent away the other three members of Jupiter.

Jian Yumin was incredibly glad that he hadn’t told them his home address.

Jian Yiling took this opportunity to look at Zhai Yunsheng. He had been sleeping on the sofa.

The sofa was not long enough to accommodate his body. As a result, his legs dangled off the seat. He had used his jacket to cover his head. That was done as an attempt to block out the light.

Although his sleeping posture was quite casual, it had to be said that the pose exuded sexiness. If the person was attractive, whatever they did would appear sexy and seductive.

The first time Jian Yiling had seen him, he had been sleeping in a similar way. He had just been casually lying on a bench in the hospital corridor.

However, what was surprising was that he had fallen asleep in such a noisy and lively environment.

When Yu Xi saw the confusion in Jian Yiling’s eyes, he explained to her in a quiet voice:

“Master Sheng can’t sleep in quiet environments.”

The reason for this was because the silence reminded him of the time his father died.

Back then, the silence had been like a gaping void. He had seen his father’s body on the floor. The floor that had been dyed red with his father’s blood.

Back then, he had been only seven years old. The person that he had called father had been reduced to a cold corpse.

On that day, the surroundings had been so quiet. Quiet to the extent where he felt that he could hear the sound of draining blood.

The rest of the Zhai family didn’t find him until half an hour later.

That period of time was a shadow in Zhai Yunsheng’s heart. It was his secret that was not known to many. That event had also led him to dislike complete silence. He had to play some music in his room when he slept.

As soon as Yu Xi finished speaking, Zhai Yunsheng opened his eyes.

He had been asleep. Not dead. Why was Yu Xi talking as though he thought Master Sheng couldn’t hear him speak?

Not to mention, just then, he had been sleeping quite lightly.

When Yu Xi saw Zhai Yunsheng open his eyes, he immediately got a fright.

He desperately tried to turn his head away and pretended that he didn’t know what was happening.

At that moment, Grandpa and Grandma Jian arrived at the hospital ward.

When Grandma Jian saw Jian Yiling lying on the hospital bed, she began to scold her once again.

And all that Jian Yiling could do was listen to her grandma tell her off.

When Grandma Jian saw the state of her precious granddaughter, she felt as though she couldn’t scold her anymore.

The more she scolded her, the sadder she felt.

Whilst Grandma Jian was scolding Jian Yiling, Grandpa Jian took this opportunity to thank Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng for taking care of Yiling.

After they exchanged pleasantries, Zhai Yunsheng left with Yu Xi. Zhai Yunsheng had been quite polite to Grandpa Jian.

Grandma Jian had also shooed Jian Yumin away.

Jian Yumin was meant to have a concert at Hengyuan City in the next few days. As a result, his schedule was packed with rehearsals and other events.

After everyone left, Grandma Jian took Jian Yiling into her arms. She gently patted Yiling’s back whilst hugging her.

Although Grandma Jian didn’t say anything, Jian Yiling understood what she meant.

Some things didn’t need to be expressed with words.

Whilst she was being hugged by Grandma Jian, Jian Yiling’s body didn’t feel too much resistance. Rather, she felt the warmth of the embrace. It was incredibly comfortable and relaxing.

This feeling was quite foreign to Jian Yiling.

However… She didn’t dislike the feeling.

Grandma Jian’s heart felt incredibly bitter. Although they had been given the surveillance video, it seemed as if Jian Yiling was acting as though nothing had happened.

Yiling hadn’t even mentioned the matter to her…

Because it was her second time to be hospitalized for gastroenteritis, Grandma Jian demanded her to stay in the hospital for a minimum of three days.

Fortunately, Grandma Jian didn’t forbid her from using her phone and computer. As a result, Jian Yiling could work from the hospital room.

Grandma Jian had permitted her granddaughter to play games and watch dramas. However, Jian Yiling had used that time to work.

If Grandma Jian knew what Jian Yiling was doing, she would probably be incredibly angry.
