Kyoto Xiehe Hospital, Ward D-1.

"Qiao Yu, the chicken soup is here! I made you a bowl; drink it while it's hot."

Fang Yuan pushed open the ward door, carrying a thermos.

As soon as she opened the lid, steam billowed out, and the aroma of chicken soup filled the air.

There seemed to be a hint of a young woman's fragrance mixed in as well.

"Here, the soup!"

Fang Yuan brushed back a stray lock of hair and ladled a large bowl of chicken soup for Qiao Yu.

"Thanks."

Qiao Yu didn't stand on ceremony and drank the soup in one gulp.

The savory fragrance lingered on his palate.

During his hospital stay, Fang Yuan had come to see him every day.

Sometimes with fruit, sometimes with her own homemade soup.

"Is it good?" Fang Yuan looked at Qiao Yu expectantly.

"It's delicious, just like the chicken soup Agent Pangolin makes." Qiao Yu nodded.

"Phew! That's good!"

Fang Yuan was delighted by the compliment. Even her fair cheeks flushed slightly, revealing a touch of playfulness and loveliness.

She felt that the three hours she had spent working on it were well worth it.

"Are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt?"

Fang Yuan looked at Qiao Yu with concern.

"Much better. The doctor said I can probably be discharged soon."

Qiao Yu replied with a smile.

"That's good!"

Looking at Qiao Yu's smile, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"Oh, right!"

Fang Yuan seemed to remember something.

"A woman came to see you the past few days, but she didn't come in because she saw you were resting."

"A woman? What's her name?" Qiao Yu asked.

"She said her name is Qin Qianxue!"

Qin Qianxue?

Qiao Yu suddenly remembered that he had contacted Qin Qianxue when Luto led people to deal with the Killing God Guild.

Because he had guessed that Luto might be related to Qin Xuan.

But where did he go after contacting Qin Qianxue? Why couldn't he remember?

Was it really like Yang Xiangdi said, that he had used his head to catch a bottle?

Qiao Yu felt a throbbing pain in his head again, and his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"Qiao Yu? Are you okay, Qiao Yu?" Seeing Qiao Yu frown, Fang Yuan's heart clenched.

"I'm fine. I want to see Qin Qianxue."

Qiao Yu said, yanking the IV needle out of his arm, ready to get out of bed.

"Hey! Qiao Yu, no! The doctor said your body hasn't fully recovered!"

Fang Yuan shouted after him, but she couldn't dissuade Qiao Yu at all.

Helpless, she could only follow Qiao Yu out of the hospital.

Qiao Yu quickly contacted Qin Qianxue and met her at a coffee shop. Behind Qin Qianxue was a dejected-looking man, none other than Qin Xuan.

"Qiao Yu, long time no see!"

Qin Qianxue smiled at Qiao Yu like a ripe peach.

Fang Yuan, standing behind Qiao Yu, instantly felt a strong sense of threat.

"Sister Qianxue, long time no see." Qiao Yu also greeted her with a smile.

This was the first time he had seen Qin Qianxue since they parted ways in the Soul Cleansing Lake dungeon.

"By the way, I investigated the matter you asked me to look into last time. It was indeed Qin Xuan who was behind the Scarlet Flame Guild's troubles. I'm sorry for the trouble it caused you."

"Qin Xuan, apologize to classmate Qiao Yu!" Qin Qianxue said sternly to Qin Xuan.

"I'm... I'm so... sor..." Qin Xuan's face was dark as he mumbled for a long time, but he couldn't bring himself to say the word "sorry." He felt extremely wronged.

"It's okay, it's the thought that counts! Don't force it."

Qiao Yu said magnanimously, then took out the token engraved with the character "Qin" from his pocket and returned it to Qin Qianxue.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. In that instant, he suddenly felt that Qiao Yu was actually a pretty good guy.

He wondered if he had really been too petty and targeted Qiao Yu too much.

Qin Qianxue looked helpless. She reached out and ruffled Qin Xuan's hair, saying to Qiao Yu, "Xuan'er isn't a bad kid, but he can be a bit mischievous sometimes. Don't take it to heart. It's my fault as his aunt for not educating him well."

Qiao Yu also reached out and patted Qin Xuan's head.

"It's okay. I call you 'sister,' so that makes me Qin Xuan's elder. Why would I hold anything against a younger member of the family? I'll keep an eye on him at school for you in the future!"

Qin Xuan: "……?"

"That's good!"

Qin Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was going to introduce you two, but I didn't expect you already knew each other."

"Yes, yes."

Qiao Yu patted Qin Xuan on the shoulder, looking very serious.

"Xuan'er, I've thought it over. From today on, we'll each go by our own generation. I'll call you Xuan'er, and you'll call me Uncle!"

Qin Qianxue: "……"

Qin Xuan: "?"

Qin Xuan suddenly lowered his head, looking around for something.

Qiao Yu curiously leaned forward.

"What are you looking for, Xuan'er? Uncle will help you find it?"

The next second, Qin Xuan directly picked up an iron chair from the coffee shop and charged towards Qiao Yu with a ferocious expression.

He couldn't take it anymore!

Qiao Yu was terrified. He ran while trying to persuade him.

"Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan, calm down! This isn't the Otherworld; getting hit by a chair like that in the real world can kill someone!"

But Qin Xuan didn't care. He rushed over like a madman, intent on hitting Qiao Yu with the chair.

Qin Qianxue stepped forward, opening her arms to block Qiao Yu and shouting at Qin Xuan, "Qin Xuan, you're not allowed to treat your Uncle Qiao like that!"

Boom!

Qin Xuan felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

The aunt who had always doted on him and never shown any interest in other men was now scolding him for another man?

Qin Xuan felt his worldview collapsing!

"Qiao Yu! It's all your fault! Qiao Yu!!!"

Qin Xuan let out a hysterical roar, glaring at Qiao Yu fiercely.

He had already been holding back a stomach full of anger since Qin Qianxue dragged him here to apologize to Qiao Yu, and now he finally couldn't take it anymore.

"I, Qin Xuan, swear to never coexist with you under the same sky!!!"

Qin Xuan's roar was deafening, and the other customers in the coffee shop all turned to look.

"Qin Xuan! How can you be like this? You were so well-behaved when you were little. How did you become like this now?"

Qin Qianxue's face was full of heartache. She couldn't understand how the well-behaved nephew in her memory had become like this.

In Qin Xuan's disbelief, Qiao Yu seized the opportunity to put his arm around Qin Qianxue's shoulders, comforting her.

"It's okay. The kid just can't accept it for the moment. Give him some time to adjust..."

"Don't touch my aunt!"

Qin Xuan, his face twisted with rage, raised the iron chair and charged over again.

"Qiao Yu, you should go first. I need to have a good talk with this kid, Qin Xuan! Let's get together again when we have time."

Qin Qianxue pushed Qiao Yu, sending him and Fang Yuan out of the coffee shop.

Seeing that the situation was resolved, Qiao Yu didn't want to stay any longer. He waved goodbye to Qin Qianxue and Qin Xuan.

"Alright, Sister Qianxue, I'll be going then. Have a good talk with the kid. Don't hit him, okay!"
