Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. “Yes, Yun’er came here to celebrate our birthday some time ago.”
Yu Xiao was silent for a moment.
He didn’t know what to say.
A year ago, he had also seen his eldest cousin interacting with his second cousin. Their relations.h.i.+p was not bad. After all, his eldest cousin had given her shares to his second cousin and took the initiative to let his second cousin take over the Yan Family. And his second cousin did not show any mercy to her uncle and aunt because her uncle and auntie did not treat his eldest cousin well, she immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed the power from her uncle’s hands.
However, he had also heard a lot about his eldest cousin and the Yan Family in the past year.
The news media had reported that Eldest Cousin had cut ties with the Yan Family.
He did not expect his two cousins to have such a good relations.h.i.+p.
However, overall, he was very happy to know that his two cousins were on good terms.
“In this case… Please excuse me.”
The car stopped. Yan Jinyu asked Yu Xiao not to care about his luggage. Someone would take it to his room. She led him into the house.
As soon as they entered the house, Aunt Cheng, who was studying the new dishes, quickly put down the things in her hand and greeted them when she saw them.
“Miss Yu, you’re back?”
She looked at Yu Xiao with a kind expression. “This must be Little Young Master Yu. Welcome to our family.”
The Yu Family was not an ordinary family, but they were not top-notch wealthy either. They were scholarly families for generations, so Yu Xiao was not used to such a situation.
He smiled unnaturally and nodded in response, “h.e.l.lo, sorry to disturb you.”
“Little Young Master Yu, you’re welcome.”
“Miss Yu, have you guys eaten? If not, shall I go to the kitchen to make something?”
“Aunt Cheng, you don’t have to trouble yourself. We’ve eaten outside.”
“Then I’ll go wash some fruits.”
Yan Jinyu nodded and led Yu Xiao to sit in the living room.
Aunt Cheng wasn’t the only one who was busy was.h.i.+ng the fruits. The other servants living in the Mount West Villa also went to help.
After a while, someone brought over a cup of tea and a bottle of yogurt.
Yan Jinyu drank yogurt with a straw and let Yu Xiao do as he pleased.
Yu Xiao was initially very reserved. However, when he saw Yan Jinyu sitting lazily on the sofa and turning on the television, watching cartoons some more, he suddenly became less reserved.
He stole a glance at Yan Jinyu.
His eldest cousin sometimes looked mature and sensible, but sometimes she was very childish.
At the end of the day, his eldest cousin was only 19 years old. She was only three years older than him.
It seemed normal for her to have the temperament of a child.
Yan Jinyu saw that he had picked up his teacup to drink tea, so she handed the remote control to him. “What do you want to watch? Change the channel yourself.”
“No, I don’t usually watch television.”
“What does Eldest Cousin do on the weekend? You don’t have to keep me company here. If you have anything to do, go ahead. I can be alone.”
“What do I do on the weekend?” Yan Jinyu blinked. “There’s nothing special. Either I stay at home and lie down, or I go to the company with Brother Nine.”
“Be it lying at home or going to the company, I would either watch television or play games. Occasionally, I would read some books too.”
“…” Yu Xiao. She was even more slack than him?
What happened to being the top student in the college entrance examination?
Didn’t she have to learn?
These days…
“I heard that Eldest Cousin’s major is Traditional Chinese Medicine. Isn’t this major rather difficult? Do you usually need to memorize a lot of books?”
“I do need to memorize a lot of books, but I can basically remember most of them after reading them once. It’s not really difficult.”
“…” Yu Xiao.
He came from a scholarly family. His parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were all educators. He was also very talented in his studies. He could achieve very good results without much effort.
He thought that he was already very outstanding, but compared to his eldest cousin…
Anyway, he did not have a photographic memory.
Could this be the reason why his eldest cousin could become the top student after dropping out of junior high school and coming back to attend the college entrance examination?
However, he finally had some understanding of his eldest cousin.
Only with understanding could they build a better relations.h.i.+p.
He had come to his eldest cousin’s residence to stay temporarily to build a good relations.h.i.+p with her.
“Does Eldest Cousin like to play games?”
“I don’t really like it either. I’m just using it to kill time when I’m bored.”
Yu Xiao, who was about to say, “I like it too. We can play together,” was speechless.
He was silent for a second before continuing, “Then, what kind of television programmes does Eldest Cousin usually watch?”
“Oh, it’s that kind of Mary Sue drama. It’s especially melodramatic.” As she spoke, she even changed a few channels with the remote control and stopped at a channel that was playing a Mary Sue drama. “There, it’s this kind.”
Yu Xiao did not watch television often. Even if he did watch it occasionally, he would watch those programmes with more depth.
“…” His lips twitched.
They could not continue on this topic of conversation.
He said against his conscience, “Oh, this television drama seems to be quite good.”
Then, Yan Jinyu looked at him with an indescribable expression. “Not bad? Cousin, do you like this kind of television drama? You’re rather brainless. I don’t like it usually. I’m just watching it to kill time.”
“…” Yu Xiao.
“R-really? I rarely watch television.”
“What kind of books does Cousin usually read?”
“My reading style is more complicated. I know how to read a little of everything. I’ll read whatever I get. Anyway, I read quickly. I can basically remember it after reading it.”
“…” Yu Xiao.
However, he didn’t see Yan Jinyu, who was sipping on yogurt, glance at him from the corner of her eye. Her lips curled up slightly.
“Although it’s used to kill time when I’m bored, playing games is indeed interesting. Cousin, you know how to play games, right? Why don’t we play some games on our phones?”
How could Yu Xiao hide his thoughts from her?
Hearing that, Yu Xiao’s eyes suddenly lit up. “O-Okay!”
He took out his phone and realized that he did not have a single video game app on it.
Oh, he didn’t really play games usually.
He usually read.
“I don’t have any popular games softwares in the country. What does Eldest Cousin usually like to play? I’ll download one. I learn things very quickly. If you teach me two rounds, I should be able to do it.”
Yan Jinyu nodded and told him the name of the game softwares. He downloaded them and installed them.
Aunt Cheng washed the fruits and cut them. When she brought them over, she saw the two of them sitting on the sofa and playing games. Yan Jinyu even guided Yu Xiao from time to time.
Aunt Cheng stopped in her tracks and smiled in relief.
Second Young Master and Miss Yu matured early. It was really heartbreaking to look at them.
Now that she saw Miss Yu playing games so happily with others like children, she was naturally relieved.
It was impossible to see Second Young Master like this in this lifetime. She only hoped that Miss Yu would not work hard at her tender age like Second Young Master.
If possible, she didn’t want Miss Yu to work hard after she graduated from university. Anyway, Second Young Master could afford to support her.
It was good to live a carefree life.
Aunt Cheng didn’t know that she was now an elder who doted on the younger generation without any limit. In another family, she would be an unqualified elder.
Yan Jinyu played a few rounds with Yu Xiao.
Just as Yu Xiao had said, he learned things very quickly. After a few rounds, he had evolved from a noob.
Of course, he was far from reaching Yan Jinyu’s level.
After six rounds, the two of them stopped playing.
Yu Xiao was no longer so reserved in the game’s atmosphere. He was also much closer to Yan Jinyu.
At least, he wasn’t so reserved when facing Yan Jinyu anymore.
“Alright, you’re still a high school student now. You shouldn’t be too addicted to games. Play and relax appropriately.”
Yan Jinyu didn’t notice that this was what she instinctively said.
She was stunned when she reacted.
However, she quickly felt relieved.
Once she decided on something, she actually wouldn’t feel very conflicted, just like when she realized that her feelings for Yin Jiujin were different.
She lay in bed and thought for a few hours before coming to a conclusion. After thinking it through, she stopped feeling conflicted and went straight to Yin Jiujin to express her thoughts.
However, Yu Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard that.
He was the only son in the family. Although he had other cousins, they were all younger than him. He was considered the eldest grandson of the Yu Family. Other than his parents and elders, no one in his generation had ever said such controlling words to him.
This feeling was a little strange.
“Yes.” He put away his phone obediently.
Actually, he was rather disciplined. He was not addicted to games. If he did not want to build a relations.h.i.+p with his eldest cousin, he would not have played games.
“Cousin, I’ve been sitting for so long. I want to walk around. Where’s the room you arranged for me? I’ll go unpack.”
Walking around and unpacking were all excuses.
He thought that he had to be alone quietly to ease the strange feeling of having a big sister.
He should call his mother too.
Although he had called to report that he was safe when he got off the plane, he unintentionally heard from the servant that this place seemed to be called Mount West Villa.
He had to report to his mother.
After Yu Xiao left, Yan Jinyu didn’t sit around either.
She stood up and went to the training ground behind.
She would occasionally go to the training ground to practice when she was at the Mount West Villa. After all, she would be rusty if she didn’t practice her skills for a long time.
Even though she jogged with Yin Jiujin almost every morning.
She was rather familiar with Yin Jiujin’s subordinates. When they saw her go to the training ground, they would follow her through the training programs in one go. There would also be people who would ask her for guidance.
Of course, it was all when Yin Jiujin wasn’t around.
With Yin Jiujin around, they didn’t dare to take the initiative to ask Yan Jinyu for guidance.
Yan Jinyu would sometimes give some suggestions regarding marksmans.h.i.+p and some movement skills.
After training for two hours, Yan Jinyu went upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes. It was about time for Yin Jiujin to get off work.
Yu Xiao did not stay in his room for long. The so-called unpacking was an excuse. He would have to report to school tomorrow, so there was no need to unpack.
He called Yan Ruyu and took a simple shower in the room. He changed into light clothes and read for an hour before returning to the living room of the main building.
When he returned to the living room of the main building, Yan Jinyu was coming down from upstairs.
“Master Nine.”
Someone greeted them outside the main building.
Yin Jiujin had returned.
Yu Xiao, who had just sat down on the sofa, quickly stood up and looked out of the main building.
He was looking at Yin Jiujin, and Yin Jiujin was also looking at him. However, Yin Jiujin only took a glance at him before looking away at Yan Jinyu, who was coming down from upstairs.
“Brother Nine, you’re back?”
There was a smile in his eyes. “Yes.”
He walked over and opened his arms to Yan Jinyu.
Yan Jinyu ran downstairs and pounced into his arms.
This was something the two of them would do every day when Yin Jiujin came back from work and she didn’t follow him to the company.
They would give each other a big hug.
The two of them were used to it, and the subordinates were also used to it. However, Yu Xiao, who saw it for the first time, was stunned on the spot.
He was a little shocked and uncomfortable.
The two of them let go after hugging for a while.
It was because Yu Xiao was around.
Normally, Yin Jiujin would definitely hug and kiss her for a while.
He looked at Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao quickly calmed down and said politely and fawningly, “Master Nine.”
