My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 88: Did You Come by Yourself, or Should I Help You?

Jiang Yuan showed a very tiny gesture, "Just a teeny-tiny little wound, it’s already healed. Really, if you don’t believe me, ask Yanyan."

Xu Jinyan swallowed and said, "That’s right, even the school doctor said it would heal quickly."

I wondered why they both seemed odd the moment I walked in.

But when did their relationship get this close?

They even conspired to keep it from me.

Xu Jiayan’s gaze swept over the two of them and finally settled on Jiang Yuan’s knee. "Let me have a look."

"No need, it’s really fine!" The girl’s eyes flickered, instinctively hiding her injured knee behind her. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Even if it’s nothing, it still looks serious!

Xu Jiayan: "Are you going to do it yourself, or shall I help you?"

Jiang Yuan: ...

"Yuanyuan will do it herself."

Jiang Yuan obediently rolled up her pant leg to reveal her fair, tender calf, and the bruised knee.

Xu Jiayan’s eyes fell on her injured knee, the youth’s brow slightly furrowed, the lines of his mouth tightening even further.

Jiang Yuan looked up, her delicate eyelashes trembled lightly as she spoke weakly, "Brother Yan, it’s really okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore, see, no need for medicine."

"Be more careful next time." After staring at her injured knee for a moment, Xu Jiayan carefully pulled the rolled-up pant leg down.

His gaze then shifted to Xu Jinyan beside him, and he stood up and said, "You, come with me."

Xu Jinyan’s heart skipped a beat, and Jiang Yuan quickly lifted her head to look at him.

She frantically blinked at him, signaling not to slip up and speak out.

Xu Jinyan was touched.

He had misunderstood the pesky girl earlier, but she turned out to be quite loyal.

Xu Jiayan pretended not to see the interaction between them and walked straight into the study on the first floor.

"Tell me, why did Yuanyuan get hurt?"

"I’m sorry, brother, Yuanyuan got hurt while helping me." Xu Jinyan hung his head low, opting for a full confession.

His brother was too sharp; Young Master Xu knew he couldn’t hide it from him.

Sooner or later he’d uncover the truth, better to come clean himself.

Sure enough.

Xu Jiayan wasn’t surprised.

From their reactions earlier, Xu Jiayan had guessed that Jiang Yuan’s injury wasn’t a simple accident.

Otherwise, with that girl’s personality, she wouldn’t hide her wounds but would show them to him right away, acting spoiled, playing the victim, and then making a bunch of demands along the way.

Xu Jinyan told the whole story about Little Fatty getting robbed, him getting the money back, and Jiang Yuan getting pushed down and hurt while helping him.

After listening, Xu Jiayan looked at him sternly, "Do you understand the concept of ’acting within one’s capabilities’? This time, it’s only resulted in Yuanyuan getting hurt. What about next time? What if there are more people, stronger than before? Will you still try to show off your prowess like today? Helping a friend is fine, but you need to know when to act and when to step back. Be responsible for yourself and for those around you."

"I’m sorry brother, I realize my mistake now!" Xu Jinyan knew his brother was right, after all, it was because of him Jiang Xiaoyuan got hurt.

Xu Jiayan glanced at him and then left the room.

Following that, Xu Jinyan remained anxious until Lin Wan and Xu Annian returned.

Fortunately, his brother didn’t tell Lin Xiaowan about the incident, and his mother also didn’t notice Jiang Xiaoyuan’s injury.

Xu Jinyan finally felt a weight off his chest.

That evening, before sleeping, the two bumped into each other at the door. Xu Jiayan called him, "I’ve enrolled you in a martial arts training class. From now on, train every weekend. Since you want to help others, you need to make yourself stronger first."

A gleam of joy couldn’t help but show on Xu Jinyan’s face, "Brother, you’re not mad at me?" It turns out his brother cared so much about him, afraid he would lose a fight, he even sent him for training.

Xu Jiayan glanced at him coolly, "Train well, protect Yuanyuan, and don’t let her get hurt because of you again."

Xu Jinyan: ...
