Chapter 45 – Collecting Interest

Making money was one thing, but morning training still had to continue.

Opening the door, she was startled to see Ye Yunji sleepwalking like a zombie.

“Brother, what are you doing?”

Yawning, Ye Yunji said: “I’ll accompany you for your morning run… It’s too dangerous for a girl to get up this early… There’s hardly anyone on the streets yet… Let’s go…”

His eyes were barely open, yet he was still thinking about her.

Ye Yunxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt that having a brother seemed quite nice.

However, after running less than three hundred meters, Ye Yunji couldn’t go on.

He felt like his lungs were about to explode!

“You… you run… this far… every day?”

Ye Yunxi speechlessly glanced behind them—they could still see their house windows from here. So, brother, is this considered far??

“Should I go ahead?”

“No… no way…”

Ye Yunji grabbed her arm: “Come… come with me to the Parade Ground… I… I just need to be able to see you… that’s enough…”

Just two days ago, those gangsters had come looking for trouble. He was the older brother—no matter what, he had to… had to protect… protect his little sister…

Finally reaching the Parade Ground, Ye Yunji collapsed headfirst into the grass, his hand still struggling to reach toward Ye Yunxi.

Brother will protect… protect you… ah…

The great brother had fallen.

Ye Yunji was carried home on Ye Yunxi’s back.

The moment he sat down on the sofa, Ye Yunji could no longer hold back his self-pity.

“I’m not worthy of being a brother, making my little sister carry me home… so embarrassing…”

Ye Yunxi: ……………

Heh, what could she even say??

“It’s fine. If you keep training with me every morning, you’ll be able to carry me by the end of the year.”

“Really?”

Ye Yunji looked up in pleasant surprise.

  ”Mm!”

Who knew if it was actually possible—she’d agree first and worry later!

Ye Yunji became very happy and instantly stopped feeling sorry for himself.

“By the way, I used your name for some minor matters. If anyone asks, please help cover for me!”

“No problem!”

Ye Yunji was fully revived. In his good mood, he couldn’t resist showing off his drawings: “Yunxi, look at this portrait I drew. What do you think?”

“It’s really good!”

“Haha, of course! I do have some talent in this area. So, do you want to learn?”

Ye Yunji had asked casually—there was no way his little sister would actually want to learn drawing from him, since she only cared about looking pretty.

“Sure!”

“Mm, it’s okay, I understand… Huh??? What did you say?”

“I said sure. Come on, brother, teach me how to draw.”

This time, without Ye Yunji having to beg repeatedly, Ye Yunxi actively dragged her brother into the art studio. She spread out the Paper and Pen, then looked up with sparkling dark pupils, clear and transparent like a pure lake.

“Let’s begin!”

“……..”

Little sister, are you possessed???

“Um…”

Ye Yunji scratched his head, then turned to find an egg and placed it in front of his sister: “Start by learning to draw this egg. The most important thing in drawing is capturing the form accurately. Take your time.”

Ye Yunxi nodded, holding the pencil as she began learning bit by bit.

Based on her understanding of Ye Yunji, imitating this brother would be no problem at all. But if she didn’t learn how to draw properly, anyone could expose her with just a simple test in the future.

So, to be safe, she might as well learn drawing too.Checking the time and seeing it was about right, Ye Yunxi shouldered her backpack and headed out. But as soon as she reached the ground floor, she spotted Di Junxie, who had been waiting there for who knows how long.

Ah, the three days are up already? Does he have to be so punctual?
