"What’s going on? The diary owner wasn’t killed by poison bugs, but almost poisoned by that kid he picked up? What does that mean?"
"Could it be revenge? Didn’t you see last night he mentioned spanking that little boy’s bottom? Kids get angry—it’s normal."
"But the diary owner should be fine, right? It’d be such a pity if he actually died. Saving someone only to get bitten back… sigh, this world…"
The audience buzzed with chatter.
"Everyone, please turn to the next page. It’s not what you think. Don’t lose faith in doing good deeds," host Bing Bing said, already flipping to fresh content.
All eyes shifted to the new page.
【I was so moved! This unlucky kid actually cooked breakfast for me at dawn. I felt touched—until I took one sip and froze… Damn, it’s awful! What unholy mix of sewage is this!? Stargazy pie???】
"Pfft! So that’s it. I knew kids don’t hold real grudges."
The crowd relaxed and read on.
【This brat woke crazy early. Forget the cooking—he’s clearly a pampered kid who’s never touched a kitchen. I ended up fixing it myself. But this shameless guy actually tried stealing my food! After chasing him around the yard once, he gave up. Why not enjoy your own slop? Stealing mine? He knows his skills suck. Is this revenge for saving him…?】
"Haha, charming! Picture this: dawn mist over QiHuang Mountain, a cottage, a field, smoke curling up. Two figures—one big, one small—playfully fighting over breakfast. So light, so joyful. Makes you wish for it."
"Mm, harmonious. This warrior’s living the dream with two companions."
"Fun revenge. The diary owner’s lucky, hahaha."
Warm laughter rippled through the crowd.
But on the guest panel, Liu Xiyun subtly pouted.
These two!
She’d vanished completely? Did they think she was dead!?
"Xi—"
"Don’t talk. Just watch," Liu Xiyun cut off Ying Yuanyuan, who’d opened her mouth again, and refocused on the diary.
【This brat stole my breakfast! Watching him eat so happily, smacking his lips contentedly… I couldn’t resist slapping him. Before he reacted, I dashed into the other unlucky kid’s room to check on her.】
"Here it is! Here it is!" Liu Xiyun’s expression sharpened, utterly focused.
Finally, her scene!
She’d thought she was erased!
Ying Yuanyuan stole a glance at Liu Xiyun’s face, hid a smile, and silently joined her watching the public screen.
【Not good. This kid’s injuries are severe—she won’t recover soon. That boy outside never asked about his girlfriend. Since he didn’t ask, I stayed quiet. Wait till she wakes.】
"Girlfriend? What girlfriend!"
"You’re the one dating him!
Liu Xiyun bristled at the line.
She didn’t even know that guy!
【I changed her bandages. Maybe I was too rough—she woke mid-process. Her eyes widened, staring at me like she hadn’t processed anything, letting me work.】
"Eh~ This girl’s improper! Letting a man handle her without protest? If I were her parent, I’d slap her silly. Right, Xiyun?"
Liu Xiyun shot Ying Yuanyuan a cool sideways glance but stayed silent, calmly watching Bing Bing turn the page.
【*Slap!* Suddenly—a huge slap flew at me! Luckily, I dodged fast. Only got grazed…】
"Uh…" Ying Yuanyuan froze mid-sentence.
Liu Xiyun’s gaze pinned her: *What was that you just said?*
Ying Yuanyuan pouted. Seeing Liu Xiyun’s smug look, she blurted, "Hmph! She actually hit him? He saved her! So ungrateful!"
"…" Liu Xiyun’s lips twitched. She said nothing and looked back.
【"Pissed me off! Damn it! I know men and women shouldn’t touch—but you’re the patient, I’m the doctor! Respect medics’ hard work!" I told this unlucky kid.】
【She froze, staring doubtfully at herself on the bed, at her clean clothes. Head down, lost in thought… then nodded at me.】
【I blinked. "Can’t you speak?" She nodded. Great—I picked up a little mute.】
【Lucky me…】
"Pfft—unlucky kid? Little mute? This diary owner’s hilarious. I wanna meet him," Ying Yuanyuan laughed aloud, drawing glances.
Cool-faced Liu Xiyun glanced over flatly. "Don’t know."
【Little mute, unlucky kid—I know their names. Just waiting for her to heal so these young lovers can reunite.】
【Surprisingly fast. Next day, the mute got out of bed alone. Her wounds were 60% healed. My medical skills? Top-notch.】
【But weird—they were super polite when they met. Nothing like a couple. Strange.】
*We don’t even know each other!* Liu Xiyun thought.
She’d assumed he was this guy’s brother. Wrong guess.
Back then, he probably thought she was his sister too…
Speechless. They *had* been polite.
Was this guy twisting things again?
Liu Xiyun watched the screen.
【Sigh. Old saying: "Couples fight at the bed’s head, make up at its foot." These kids ignore each other over tiny things. Breakup vibes.】
"…" Liu Xiyun went utterly blank.
Speechless at the diary writer’s weird logic—and his little-adult act judging them.
He was only thirteen back then! "Young"? "Little"? *You’re the same!* Hmph!
