By the time Lin Yue took them away, it was already 11 am.

Yun Jin was about to continue her lecture but was stopped by Lin Yuan.

“It’s already so late. I’ll cook first to reward you for your hard work. We’ll continue with the lesson after lunch.”

Yun Jin thought for a while and agreed. “I’ll help you out.”

Lin Yuan did not refuse.

Soon, the two of them cooked a sumptuous and delicious lunch.

Yun Jin was very satisfied with Lin Yuan’s culinary skills.

Lin Yuan listened to the compliment and said embarrassedly, “It’s nothing. It’s mainly because when I was abroad, I couldn’t find any food that suited my appetite, so I had to cook it myself.”

Seeing that Yun Jin was eating happily, his mood, which had been ruined by Lin Yue, gradually improved.

Then, he heard Yun Jin curiously ask, “What is AIDS?”

Lin Yuan explained, “It’s a disease imported from abroad. People who get it have a significantly reduced ability to resist infection. This disease is spread through intercourse, from a mother to her newborn baby, and blood. I don’t know if traditional Chinese medicine can save it, but Western medicine really doesn’t have any good treatment plan at the moment.”

“Liu Ren contracted this disease because he had been fooling around and leading a promiscuous sex life. You must not help him treat his illness. It would be bad if he develops any wicked ideas about you.”

Yun Jin nodded. “I know. I won’t save him. The Liu family is already on my blacklist.”

Lin Yuan was relieved. At the same time, he was troubled that his sister had made these two girls her close friends. ‘Should I arrange for her to go abroad?’

‘However, there are more temptations abroad. What if she hangs out with the wrong company again and is led further astray?’

After dinner, Lin Yuan washed the dishes.

Yun Jin taught him for a while. When she found that his condition was obviously not as good as it was in the morning, she asked him for the reason.

Lin Yuan told her the dilemma in his heart.

He could not find a way to make his sister break off ties with these two friends.

Yun Jin said to him without hesitation, “As long as your sister is a reasonable person, she will find out the truth about the two of them sooner or later.”

“With your current state, you won’t be able to continue this class. Why Don’t You Adjust yourself tonight and I’ll teach you seriously tomorrow?”

Lin Yuan was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he knew that Yun Jin was right. His current state was indeed delaying Yun Jin’s time.

“Okay.”

Lin Yuan agreed. He looked at the sky outside and said to Yun Jin, “Zheng Han will probably come to pick you up in a few hours.”.

“You haven’t been in the capital for long and have already started school. There are a lot of places that you haven’t been to.”

“Liulichang Street is nearby. There are a lot of old books and artifacts being peddled there. Although there are also a lot of things for the New Year holidays, there are also genuine items. I wonder if you are interested in walking around there.”

Of course, Yun Jin was interested. Her grandfather had taught her how to identify antiques, so she agreed. The two of them walked to Liulichang.

Because it was a Saturday, it was very lively inside. There were stalls on both sides of the street. There were all kinds of things peddled at the stalls. Some were selling coins and artifacts, and some were mixed with other kinds of things.

Lin Yuan asked, “Senior, do you want to go to the shop or just look at the stalls?”

“There are many genuine items in the stores but the prices are also expensive. Most of the items in the stall are counterfeit, but there might be some genuine items that you can pick up.”

Yun Jin thought for a moment and decided to go to the stall.

She and Lin Yuan strolled around casually. They had seen some genuine items along the way, but she had never seen anything that interested her.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should go back and buy the real items that she saw, the sound of porcelain breaking caught her and Lin Yuan’s attention.

A middle-aged man broke a porcelain bowl at a stall in the future.

The stall owner immediately stood up and said loudly, “What are you doing? Do you know what you broke? Since you broke it, you have to buy it. If you don’t buy it, don’t think about leaving!”

The stall owner was aggressive when he spoke. Just as he was proud that he could make a windfall today, he realized that the man who broke the bowl was not in the right state. His face was red and his hands were twitching. He looked angry but also seemed to be sick. He suddenly lost his confidence.

“Hey, what do you mean by this? You broke my things and you still want to lose your temper? Let everyone judge. Are you the one who is wronged, or am I the one who is aggrieved?!”

The stall owner quickly raised his hand and called for everyone to gather around him.

He was a little afraid that the man in front of him would suddenly go crazy and smash all the things on his stall. It would not be good if he just pretended to be sick.

If that happened, he would not only lose money, but he would also be in big trouble today.

Lin Yuan and Yun Jin had already approached him, but they were not there to join in the fun. They had observed that the man was really sick.

However, there were even more people joining in the fun. A large group of people had already arrived and surrounded the stall. Among them was the friend of the man who threw the bowl.

“I’m sorry, we will pay for this. His feet are hurting a little today. Maybe he wasn’t careful when he got up just now. He didn’t mean to cause trouble.”

Just as his friend was speaking, the man’s face began to turn green. His lips were purplish and he was having difficulty breathing. Looking at him, it was especially scary. He was stammering and unable to speak.

The people around him could tell that he was sick.

“Don’t be in a hurry to pay for the compensation. Call an ambulance.”

“Is there a doctor around? Quickly come and save him. This person looks like he’s going to die!”
