Chapter 983: Chapter 987: The Boredom and Loneliness of a Single Dog Chapter 983: Chapter 987: The Boredom and Loneliness of a Single Dog Ye Xingbei clicked his tongue, “You, Yian the Dog, are beyond saving.”

“Why save me?” Yian Jingxue said, “My last name is Yian! I’m meant to be Yian the Dog!”

Ye Xingbei: “… you win.”

“Of course!” Yian Jingxue said smugly, “When it comes to spouting nonsense, I’m second to none, no one dares to claim first!”

Ye Xingbei: “…is it really something to be proud of, being able to spout nonsense?”

“Of course,” Yian Jingxue boasted proudly, “being able to spout nonsense is a talent, okay?”

Ye Xingbei was speechless, “It’s the first time I’ve heard that being able to spout nonsense could be considered a talent.”

“Of course it’s a talent,” Yian Jingxue said, “being able to spout nonsense shows I have clear logic, I’m smart, and have good eloquence. How could it not be a talent?”

“…” Ye Xingbei wore a speechless expression as he looked at her, “You really have gotten better at spouting nonsense!”

“Ah, I’m just teasing you!” Yian Jingxue rose from across the table, trotted over to sit beside him, and wrapped her arms around his arm, resting her head on his shoulder with a content sigh, “I’ve been so looking forward to seeing you, I was dying of boredom without you, it feels so good to see you!”

“Is it necessary?” Ye Xingbei laughed, “Don’t we video chat every few days? Is it that serious?”

“Video chats aren’t the same as meeting in person!” Yian Jingxue, resting on his shoulder, sighed comfortably and said, “Can you lay your head on your shoulder in a video chat? Can you feel each other’s warmth in a video chat? Can you be this close and cuddly in a video chat? You can’t, right?”

She sighed again and shook her head, “You, a woman with a husband, can’t understand the boredom and loneliness of a single dog like me!”

Something occurred to Ye Xingbei, and he tilted his head to look at her, “Are your second and third aunts still trying to set you up with their nephews?”

“Of course,” Yian Jingxue snorted in disdain, “They won’t stop until they die! They’re each afraid the other will get ahead, so they send their nephews to stay at my house every day, it’s so annoying! And with Grandpa’s condition, I don’t dare argue with them. The doctor said Grandpa doesn’t have much time left, and he shouldn’t be agitated. I’m afraid to make too much noise, in case it…”

She couldn’t continue.

Ye Xingbei patted her sympathetically.

So it goes, a teammate who messes up is more fearsome than a godlike opponent.

The knife of a relative cuts deeper than that of an enemy.

You can go all out against an opponent, but with family, you hold back for fear of harming the innocent.

Seeing Ye Xingbei’s sympathetic and worried look, Yian Jingxue shrugged, “It’s okay, I just need to endure a few more months. The doctor said Grandpa only has a few months left. Once Grandpa’s gone, they’ll see!”

Those last few words were gnashed out through clenched teeth, showing just how much she detested those people.

Ye Xingbei hugged her sideways and gently patted her back, feeling deeply sympathetic.

He felt Yian Jingxue had it too tough.

Her parents had passed away early, leaving only Grandpa to cherish her.

Now, even Grandpa was about to leave, leaving her with only a bunch of relatives, ferocious as wolves, eyeing her inheritance.

Is money really that important?

In the face of money, the most precious family bonds become as cheap as if they are worthless.

Yian Xingbei couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t there a single good person in your second uncle’s and third uncle’s families?”

Yian Jingxue thought for a moment, “The cousin from my third uncle’s side seems alright for now, but he’s still young and unstable. Who knows what he’ll be like when he grows up?”
