Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Your Goddess Appears Once in the Morning, Afternoon, and Evening, Unexpected, Right? Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Your Goddess Appears Once in the Morning, Afternoon, and Evening, Unexpected, Right? Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
What the heck!
His face darkened as he quickly walked in, and even Jiang Yunchuan was startled by the chaos before him.
His gaze fell on Jiang Nanshu, his expression irritable, “Jiang Nanshu! What trouble have you caused again?”
Whenever there was an incident, the Jiang Family’s first reaction was to assume she was behind it.
Jiang Nanshu snorted inwardly, but still, with tear-filled eyes, she stood up and ran to cling to his arm, “Waaah, Fifth Brother, I’m so scared.”
Seeing her pear-blossom-touched-with-rain, terrified look, even his usually hard heart couldn’t help but soften a bit.
[So I’m used to being scolded without reason, but that Chen Qian and her dad really can’t take a hit, I didn’t get enough of a show.] Jiang Nanshu inwardly snarked.
Jiang Yunchuan got stuck with his comforting words, seeming to realize that passing judgment without understanding the situation was really too rash, his face inadvertently burning with embarrassment.
Looking at her frail appearance and combining that with what’s in her heart, turns out she’s not scared at all and even seems to be enjoying the drama.
His expression changed back and forth, ultimatelly becoming expressionless, “Is that so? I haven’t asked you yet, why did you skip class again, and end up in this kind of terrible place?”
Jiang Nanshu pouted, her eyes and brows revealing a sense of loss, “Because Qianqian asked me to accompany her home, she was afraid her father would abuse her. But I’m too weak, I couldn’t protect her well, I feel so guilty.”
[Haha, you still want to drag me into getting hit, luckily I locked the door, wonder if the ambulance has arrived yet, wait any longer and someone might really die.]
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
His thoughts had barely settled.
When the paramedics from the ambulance arrived, calling out, “Where’s the patient?”
Jiang Nanshu honestly pointed inside, “Over there.”
In the end, Jiang Nanshu’s testimony confirmed that it was a conflict where both parties fought, and that Mr. Chen had a mental illness.
She came out of the police station with teary eyes, looking at Jiang Yunchuan, “Fifth Brother, please don’t tell Brother Qingyan about what happened today, I don’t want him to think I am a bad woman.”
Jiang Yunchuan scoffed coldly, “You have the courage to skip class but not the courage to admit it? And you mixed yourself up in this kind of trouble, if Lu Qingyan finds out, he’d dump you immediately.”
“Wahhh, I’m going to be broken off an engagement, it feels so awful.”
[Ahhh! So what are you waiting for, go tell him already! Tell him! And make him give me the ten million for the breakup fee while he’s at it.]
“…”
So is this girl with a dual personality really his own sister?!
He never knew that Jiang Nanshu had such a rich inner life.
Hesitating for a moment, he asked stiffly, “So… what do you think about Lin Yueyue?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Did he take the wrong medicine? Doesn’t he have any idea how Lin Yueyue truly is? Aren’t the two of them in the same bed? Why the hell is he asking me.]
Her eyes blinked innocently, the cute demeanor pressing down on the brilliance of her brows and eyes, instead adding a bit more purity, “If Fifth Brother wants to be with her, I support you.”
Jiang Yunchuan’s brows knitted enough to squash a fly: “Didn’t you hate her very much? You did everything possible to stop me from being with her before, but now you agree? What does this mean?”
Jiang Nanshu: “?”
[What? Do you expect me to approve your relationship now? Didn’t you get together even when I tried to stop you before? Now that I’m not messing things up, you can’t get used to it? Scumbag! You get a female playgirl and you don’t cherish her; I hope you meet another twenty Lin Yueyues!]
She said softly, “The main reason is that I think you two are a match of talents and beauty, and over time, true colors show. I was moved by your sincere love, I hope you and Yueyue will stay together forever, forever exclusive to each other!”
Jiang Yunchuan felt stifled, but Jiang Nanshu’s expression was too sincere, even more annoying than her previous death-seeking behavior.
He continued, “But she’s busy every day, she only spends an hour with me, do you think she loves me?”
Jiang Nanshu, with a stern face, full of disapproval: “Fifth Brother, how can you think like that? Yueyue managing to spare an hour from her busy schedule for you shows her love! From now on, you better not question her sincerity, otherwise, I’ll make you lose Yueyue.”
[Tsk, green as the grasslands and still talking about love. Your goddess, morning, noon, and night, each has a scene; you didn’t expect that, did you!]
“…,”
Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes were filled with complexity.
Had it not been for the accident that allowed him to hear his sister’s voice, he would have never known that the goddess he had been pursuing for so long led such a sordid private life.
“I understand,” he sighed in response, “Let’s go to the hospital to see your classmate first.”
“Oh, okay.”
Jiang Nanshu watched Jiang Yunchuan’s seemingly agreeable face and felt secretly delighted:
[Hehe, I’m really thoughtful. I used to be so immature. Instead of stopping him, it’s better to bring them together. After all, it’s not me who will be cheated of money and contract AIDS. I’ve endured so many cold stares for nothing, my poor heart deserves a hug.]
Jiang Yunchuan froze on the spot.
What… AIDS?!
He’s going to get AIDS?!
[Hmm, he should be ‘logging off’ in almost two years, I guess.]
Jiang Yunchuan didn’t know what Jiang Nanshu meant by ‘logging off,’ but it was probably equivalent to being buried.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, his face was ashen.
Cold sweat streamed down his forehead non-stop.
“Fifth Brother, are you very hot?”
When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Nanshu considerately handed him a tissue, “Wipe it off.”
His hands shook like he had Parkinson’s.
He failed to grasp it after two attempts.
Jiang Nanshu silently took the tissue and wiped his face for him, “There.”
Jiang Yunchuan dazedly watched Jiang Nanshu’s fair profile and felt very conflicted.
Because he realized that his sister’s constant interference was truly for his own good.
But what had he done?
For Lin Yueyue, in the dead of winter, he had locked the thinly-dressed Jiang Nanshu outside the villa for an entire night, while he went to sleep, completely forgetting about her.
Their parents weren’t at home that night, and his brothers didn’t care for her either. She nearly froze to death and ended up in the hospital.
He had been very anxious initially, but when he saw how indifferently his second brother said, “Be more careful next time, don’t kill her,” without sparing a single glance at Jiang Nanshu, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Jiang Nanshu seemed to have no memory of the incident; once she recovered, she forgot that he had nearly let her freeze to death and clung to him again, badmouthing Lin Yueyue a lot.
Back then, he thought, how could someone be so annoying, meddling in others’ affairs instead of minding their own business?
“Nanshu…” Jiang Yunchuan grabbed Jiang Nanshu’s hand, suddenly filled with guilt, “I…”
Startled, Jiang Nanshu recoiled, her eyes full of wariness, “Speak if you have something to say, no need for physical contact.”
“You…”
Jiang Nanshu cut in preemptively, her eyes filled with sorrow, “Fifth Brother said not to touch you, that I carry germs. Last time I touched the corner of your clothes, that shirt ended up in the trash.”
[Evil spirits, stay away! Don’t touch me.]
“…”
Jiang Yunchuan wanted to say something more but refrained.
A detached voice came from behind, “How long do you two plan to be in the way?”
Jiang Nanshu turned around to see a man tall and long-legged, dressed in a white coat, his handsome features exuding a sense of superiority. Thin lips, a straight nose, and a chilling demeanor accompanied by dark eyes, as if steeped in a land of ice and snow.
Slightly long black hair peeked out from his pale forehead faintly, a few strands resting beside his eyelashes, giving the impression of a world-weary beauty, both despairing and disdainful.
Jiang Yunchuan stuttered to address him, “Sec, Second Brother.”
