Mother Yuan did not notice her daughter's actions. She was still holding a cup of water and medicine in her hands. She walked closer and sat down beside her bed. She asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
Yuan Xi pulled the blanket higher. She did not want to see Yuan Hen who was behind her mother. She only revealed a pair of listless eyes. "I'm still not feeling well. I just want to rest quietly by myself."
Mother Yuan put down the cup of water in her hands and touched her forehead. She was slightly relieved when she saw that she did not have a fever. "If you're really not feeling well, let's go to the hospital. Don't let yourself get sick."
"No need. It's just a small cold." Yuan Xi closed her eyes and did not want to say too much.
Mother Yuan sighed when she saw this. She pointed at Yuan Hen who was beside her and said, "Your big brother knows that you're sick. He even put down his work and came to see you."
Yuan Xi sneered. She knew that Yuan Hen was trying to bully her mother, so she only responded with a perfunctory "Mm."
She covered her head with the blanket again.
Yuan Hen's mother looked at Yuan Hen awkwardly. She did not understand why her daughter, who used to stick close to her brother when they were young, suddenly rejected him in recent years.
She coughed. She couldn't say anything in front of Yuan Huan, so she glanced at the quick-acting cold medicine on the bedside table which Yuan Huan had specially brought from the medical college. Then she pulled Yuan Xi's quilt and said, "Take the medicine before you sleep."
Yuan Xi didn't move, so Mother Yuan pushed her again.
There was Yuan Hen in the room. Although his back was facing her, Yuan Xi could still feel his gaze following her like a shadow. It was a little annoying.
After a few seconds, Yuan Xi got up and took the medicine and water from the bedside table. She quickly ate them and lay back on the bed.
Mother Yuan looked at her daughter who fell asleep again. She sat quietly for a while before tucking her in. Then, she got up and walked out with Yuan Hen.
After closing the door, Mother Yuan smiled bitterly and said to Yuan Hen, "Little Xi's personality now … Don't be calculative with her."
"It's fine. Maybe I've done something wrong as her big brother." Yuan Hen was still good-tempered.
Mother Yuan did not know how to speak up for her daughter. In the end, she could only say, "When her stubbornness is over, she will understand how good you are to her as a brother."
Yuan Hen nodded and looked at the time. "Auntie, I'll leave first."
"Aren't you staying for dinner?" Mother Genesis was stunned.
"It's fine. I've been rather busy at the research institute recently," Yuan Huan said calmly.
When Mother Yuan saw this, she didn't try to persuade him to stay.

Huo Yao did not text Yuan Xi again after she hung up the call.
After dinner, Huo Yao planned to leave early when she bumped into Zhuo Yun.
Two days ago, Min Yu had instructed him to investigate the culprit behind the bottle of medicine. He had come to report to Huo Yao as soon as he had some clues. He was not surprised to see Huo Yao there.
"The management of Cloud Realm didn't specify who the owner of the medicine is, but they gave me a name."
Zhuo Yun briefly explained what he had found.
Huo Yao was slightly surprised to hear this. She raised her eyes to look at Min Yu. She did not expect him to investigate it.
Min Yu sensed Huo Yao looking at him. He tilted his head lazily. His face was cold, exquisite, and elegant as he explained. "I'm just curious."
He did it out of curiosity.
"Oh." Huo Yao did not expose his excuse, which sounded like it would not work.
