“He ate it. Why wouldn’t he eat it? That’s the eels that I’ve paid a fortune for. How could he not eat it? Do you think that I’m going to trust your words? I just came from my son’s bedroom and he’s totally fine from head to toe. Nothing happened after he ate it. You’re just talking nonsense last night and trying to defame my eels. I’m glad that I didn’t believe you.”“He really ate it?” Sarah laughed. The corners of her lips curved up. She was smiling sweetly like a little angel.“What can you do even if I’ve eaten it? You can control James' life and death, but you can’t control our family, right?” One of Xavier’s hands was bent at his waist. He wished that he could rush up to Sarah and kick her many times.Julia was really at a major disadvantage when Sarah was around last night.Sarah pretended as if she had not heard it and looked down at her watch. She pinched her fingers and estimated the time. “Mmph… It’s almost time.”“What’s almost time? Did you spend the whole night last

Sarah softly explained, “He already had a skin condition, but it wasn’t serious. It’s been incubating and it was exacerbated after eating the eels, but it won’t kill him. He’ll be fine. I’m sleepy and I’m going to bed now.”Sarah yawned while explaining, turned around, and left.“Sarah, don’t go. Please treat Xavier.” Julia rushed forward to stop Sarah from leaving.“Get out of my way,” Sarah faintly demanded.“What about Xavier?” Julia bit her lip. She had to compromise for the sake of her son. Xavier was still scratching the red dots on his body. He must be feeling very itchy.“I’ll tell you if you get out of the way.”“Fine… Fine…” Julia had to back away. Her pair of eyes fell on Sarah as if she would run away in the next second and leave Xavier alone.“There should be some cooked barley congee in the kitchen by now. You can take two bowls and mix them with white sugar. He should be alright by then.” Sarah remembered that there was barley congee for breakfast last Sunday at t

Sarah furrowed her eyebrows and glanced at him fiercely. “Xavier Marshall, it’s just two minor prescriptions only. You don’t need to give yourself to me. I’m still a high school student, I don’t date.”“Hahaha!” Roxane burst out laughing, “Sixth brother, are you an old cow trying to eat young grass [1]?”“What do you know? Sarah’s already over 18. She’s an adult. She and I are a perfect match made in heaven. You should give us your blessing.” Xavier was dissatisfied with Roxane’s sarcasm.“Sarah, it’s the first time I’ve ever given flowers to a woman, so just take it, eh?”“What if I don’t take it?”“I’ll die of sadness,” Xavier replied as he got down on one knee, taking the pose usually done during proposals as his way of asking for a relationship. “Sarah, be my girlfriend. You’re my love, you’re my angel, you’re my little star.”Sarah almost threw up. She said, “If I take your flowers, will you leave and not bother me while I'm eating my breakfast?” She had not had enough food,

As Sarah’s eyes followed the length of the shadow, James’s upright stature, that made it look like they were at a shrine, appeared right in front of her. When she reached out, she could touch his body, just like when they slept at a distance while sharing the same bed last night.However, when Sarah saw that his pair of eyes were opened, she panicked. “I… I don’t know you. Please don’t look at me like that.”This was the normal psychological reaction that Sarah had been playing in her mind.This man was as handsome as a painting when he was asleep. It would be harmless to enjoy more of his handsomeness. It was harmless in his handsomeness.However, at that moment, he was right in front of her. It did not matter whether he was slightly thin, but there was only an adjective left to describe him which was ‘walking hormones’ [1]. He was very manly.He was so manly to the extent that it made her heart beat faster when he was merely looking into her eyes.At that moment, she finally un

The little steamed dumpling that had been bitten fell onto the plate. The soup within the dumpling splashed everywhere and very unceremoniously onto James’ face.Sarah hurriedly took a piece of wet wipe and cleaned James’ face; which was so handsome, it could overwhelm the whole nation.Well, at least she felt that his face could be described as such then.If she did not wipe it, it would be vandalism—it would destroy James’ charming face.The soup from the little steamed dumpling was slowly being cleaned up with a wet wipe.Sarah was touching James’ face just like last time as if there was nothing wrong with this at all.However, when she finished wiping it off and her fingertip accidentally touched the man’s lips, she suddenly realized that he was awake and remembered the dream she had last night.“I’m… I’m sorry.” She was used to it, so she wiped this person’s face without even asking.Luckily, James was a living person with arms and legs.However, James acted like he had n
