Two days have passed since Wen Jiu transmigrated, and Wen Jiu has basically successfully passed the period of getting his mental state ready for accepting the fact that he has transmigrated and started a new life.
After he transmigrated to this world, he didn't have to work to get money and live, as long as he cultivated in the right way he will be able to live for thousands of years. Although he can't surf the Internet, read comics, and post bars, it didn't seem to be a harm to him, and now neither his name nor his appearance has changed, so basically everything is good.
He doesn't know if it's his illusion or not, he always felt that his senior brother who has golden fingers, named "the protagonist" seemed to dislike him a bit. Yes, although it's not really considered as disliking him, it still can't be said that he likes him. As for the why he dislikes him, Wen Jiu has got no idea .
Although it's been two days since he transmigrated, he still has no clue of what has happened to him to get his body injured like this. When he asked Li Luo, Li Luo's answer would always be the same sentence"It's okay if you can't remember what happened, if you forget what happened, there is no need for you to deliberately recall it."
Because of her answer, Wen Jiu can only determine one thing, that is, he may have suffered a big injury from this accident. He doesn't know how bad it is, but what is certain is that it has been so bad that the master who loves her disciples and wouldn't hide anything, doesn't want him to recall it.
It's a bit scary to think about it this way, but it doesn't matter since this scary thing didn't happen to him but happened before he transmigrated.
Because the master said his external injury are all healed now, but his internal injury has not healed completely, so even if Wen Jiu feels that he can stand on the ground and walk normally with no problem, he still lies in bed because Li Luo always insists that, except for going to the toilet he doesn't move out of the bed, even eating should be done in the bed.
All three meals of the day are delivered to his room by either his master or senior brother or junior sister. Wen Jiu can feel that his master cares for him since every time she come to deliver him food, she would check on him and see how his injuries are. When his junior sister comes to deliver his meals, she would always ask him questions as if she is afraid that Wen Jiu has something to say but can't say it. Her actions made Wen Jiu unable to understand her.
During the two days he was in bed, his senior brother would deliver him two meals, and every time he enters the pavilion, he would put the food on the table, while waiting for Wen jiu to finish eating he would sit and stare at him the whole time until he finishes his meal. Afterwards, he would maintain his expressionless face and take out the plate. During the whole process, he would not say a word, which made Wen Jiu have the illusion that his senior brother was the owner of his body and because of the accident they switched bodies. Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at him like this, the look he gives him is the one you would give strangers it was just simply incomprehensible.
Just like how he is looking at him now.
When his senior brother bright him his meal for the third time, he put the food on the table and stared at Wen Jiu expressionlessly, and told Wen Jiu to stand up and come over to the table and eat by himself, if he doesn't stand up and come eat, then it would be better for him to forget eating. They both stared at each other for three seconds, and then he silently got up to eat.
Compared to Li Luo, who told him to stay still in the bed every day, she would have fed him with her own two hands if it weren't for Wen Jiu's unwillingness, so comparing his senior brother and his master is like comparing heaven and earth, and the contrast between how they act is better not be said.
Wen Jiu quietly glanced at the protagonist of the novel while gnawing on the steamed bun in his hand. As expected, he (Shan) kept staring at him. Although his face was expressionless, Wen Jiu felt that his senior brother had always disliked him for eating too slow. (T/N: I am getting g hungry just looking at it)
He didn't intend to follow the protagonist in dominating the world, but according to what his master said in the past two days, he and his senior brother have just became her disciple, and they are currently at the lowest stage of foundation building. In this kind of world where one can live for hundreds of thousands of years you have to wait until the story begins to be amble yo do that, since his senior brother's golden finger opportunities will be a lot which leads him to leave their master, and that will be happening in eight hundred years, less to say. Since he has to spend all these years with him in this small courtyard, Wen Jiu didn't want to have a bad relationship with this senior brother of his.
After thinking about it, Wen Jiu decided that he still had to take the initiative of talking to his senior brothers since he wants to have a good relationship with him, so after swallowing the food in his mouth, he took the initiative to speak: "Brother, I..."
Shan Qin interrupted him before he was able to finish speaking . He said: "You can't speak."
If he thinks it clearly, it looks like he wants to block Wen Jiu from saying any other word: "..."
But if he thinks about it in a positive way his senior brother at least spoke to him three words, on top of that for the first time. This can be called an improvement, right?
As for the fact that they met four times and only spoke 0.75 words per meeting, Wen Jiu decided to ignore it.
He stared at Shan Qin for a second, then lowered his head without saying a word and continued eating his steamed bun. He is a qualified person, so he doesn't want to give the protagonist a feeling that he is unqualified. Of course, the main reason is that Wen Jiu is really worried that the protagonist might think he is unqualified and not important, if the protagonist thinks like that then Wen Jiu will never have an opportunity of talking to him in the future. This senior brother is surely very aggressive, because he would not think twice if he wants to kill him in the future, that's in case done thing happens.
Even if he is considered a Passersby living around the protagonist peacefully is really very difficult. He has already tried very hard to maintain a very good impression when talking to the protagonist, so he won't kill him in the future, but he failed. The protagonist has no intention of communicating with him at all, making him only imagine taking to him.
Wen Jiu believed that as long as he doesn't do anything to bother the protagonist, then he will not die even if he doesn't communicate with the protagonist.
In this way, the two people kept silent, Wen Jiu quickly ate the food he brought under the gaze of his senior brother, and then found that... he seemed to be choking a little.
The teapot and teacup were on the table near his senior brother's side. Wen Jiu didn't have the guts to bother him to pour a cup of tea for him, but he also didn't want to stand up, and get it, Shan Qin held the pot in one hand and lifted the teapot.
Wen Jiu: "...hiccup."
Brother, you have to bear it, although you are so uncomfortable with me! I will just drink my saliva, it doesn't work! You are giving me the illusion that I will die if I tell you to give me the cup !
It may not be an illusion...
He doesn't know what he has done wrong so that his senior brother disliked him from the beginning, Wen Jiu really wanted to go to the corner of the room and cry for a while and then roll up his sleeves and kill his senior brother. Now, If he doesn't take advantage of the weakness of his senior brother and kill him. In the future, his senior brother will become stronger and he will not be able to do it. It is really true that a little finger can crush anyone to death.(Note:that's is a saying)
Just as Wen Jiu kept hiccuping and replenishing his brain, he saw a slightly pale and distinct hand, holding a blue-and-white teacup full of tea, and handed it to him. This was followed by the smooth voice of his senior brother. He said: "Drink some tea, it will make you feel more comfortable."
Wen Jiu dumbly said thank you, then dumbly took the teacup, raised the cup to his mouth and took a big mouthful. Suddenly he felt moved.
It turns out that the action of his senior brother was not to grab tea from him but to help him pour tea? Such a paranoid heartless careful-eyed scum like himself, sitting under the sane roof with his senior brother felt simply guilty.
I'm sorry, brother, I hope you can forgive this kind of ignorance and shallowness that I had of trying to kill you just now.
Wen Jiu stared at Shan Qin with a particularly sincere look, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that the image of him being his senior brother in his heart seemed to rise a little, and the idea of having a good relationship with his senior brother that had been put out was reawakened.
Apart from acting hard to get, there was no shortcoming about him, So Wen Jiuxiang decided to forgive his senior brother for playing hard to get, and thought that they can still have a good relationship in the future.
Just when he was about to say something, he found that he was dazing for along time . That even his senior brother had already packed the table and removed the tableware and walked to the door to go out.
The series of having good relation with his senior brother was over and destroyed just like that.
Wen Jiu: "..."
He slowly raised his hand, wiped away the non-existent blood on his face, and then told himself in his heart that it's okay. 'If you want to get along with his senior brother for a hundred or eighty years, then you have keep the same attitude as the one you have now in the current state', if he remains like this then his senior brother will not find any fault with him since there will be no reason .
Good, good, as long as he maintains this relationship with his senior brother then it's enough for him, and now he will wait for the time where his master decides to travel around the world so he can go with her. It will be even better if he finds a wife to give birth to a baby, they will live on planting fields for life which can also be considered a quite happy life.
In such a situation where no one came over and slapped him to wake him up, Wen Jiu kept his brain numb and his legs numb, and finally rolled back to the bed obediently and continued to lie down to rest.
On the other side, Shan Qin, who had delivered meals to his junior brother, took the bowls and chopsticks directly to the kitchen to clean them after coming out of Wenjiu's room.
It wasn't because he was particularly good to his junior brother, but simply because the teacher had stipulated that one person washes the dishes every day and everyone had to take turn in washing them, and it just happened to be his turn today.
When Shan Qin quickly walked to the kitchen, he found a person standing at the door of the kitchen. The person's long hair with a bright yellow ribbon in the top of the head pulled into a bun, wearing a yellow dress, when she saw Shan Qin coming, she smiled slightly and said, "My disciple looks at your serious face. I'm afraid that your junior brother didn't dare to talk to you."
Shan Qin felt a little embarrassed when Liluo said that, lowering his head slightly and replied: "I have said, I said a few words."
Li Luo stared at him for a few seconds, but didn't reveal his guilty conscience. She just opened his mouth and said: "i have said earlier that brothers and sisters who are under the same master should take care of each other and their relationship should be improved. I know that you are not good at talking and communicating with people, but you shouldn't always be stern, it will be difficult for you to get along with people in the future."
"Yes, Master." Shan Qin responded, and then tried to curl up the corner of his mouth to show a somewhat stiff smile to Liluo. He really did his best. (T/N: I can't stop laughing at this omg I can even imagine it)
"Master knows that you are obedient." Li Luo nodded, "Before the relationship between you and Jiu'er has been lukewarm. In my eyes I couldn't do anything to fix it because of both of your personalities, there has been no way to solve this problem. After waking up this time Jiu'er's personality has changed a lot. If your relationship gets better, then I will ask be a happy as your master. I will still say the same sentence, do your best, but if you really don't want to, then I will not force you."
Shan Qin bowed his head again and answered "Yes", he knew that his master was doing this for his own good. Everyone else thinks that his actions of staying away from strangers is as of his personality is all high and cold. Only his master knew that he had a problem in communicating with people. As for his Junior Brother, he actually wanted to have a good relationship with him, but he never knew how to speak to him, and his Junior Brother never took the initiative to speak to him.
When his Junior Brother suddenly took the initiative to speak to him during the meal today, he was scared and feared that he wouldn't be able to respond to his Junior Brother's sentence, so he quickly blocked him from talking by telling him a sentence of "you can't speak".
Shan Qin was scrubbing the dishes that were in his hands, while thinking about the matter in his heart, it was already noon by then, and he finally came to a sad conclusion--maybe his junior brother has already started hating him, right?
