Chapter 35

Just as Yuan Luoyi was worrying about how to reject Yuan Si's proposal, the door suddenly opened and Fifth Brother Yuan Jun appeared at the entrance.

He was wearing a white lab coat, with gold-rimmed glasses, his hair hanging down by his ears in natural curls.

As the fifth child of the Yuan family, he had just turned 16 this year, still carrying a youthful aura, but like all members of the Yuan family, his gaze was cold and indifferent.

Yuan Luoyi never dared to approach Yuan Jun because he was obsessed with corpses. He would skillfully strip the bones from living creatures, boil them clean to make specimens, and gaze adoringly at them, even wanting to gift them to Yuan Luoyi.

Unfortunately, Yuan Luoyi was too busy being terrified to appreciate the beauty of these specimens.

Yuan Jun's personality was the complete opposite of Yuan Si's. He extremely disliked interacting with living people but was more tolerant towards corpses. He was usually completely immersed in his own world, focusing on studying scientific puzzles.

Therefore, he rarely spoke to Yuan Luoyi, which relieved her greatly.

Seeing Yuan Jun come in, Yuan Si's face darkened: "Little brother, I didn't invite you here."

Yuan Jun ignored him, scanning the contract on the table before striding forward and grabbing Yuan Luoyi's wrist, pulling her to his side.

"Hah, deceiving an 11-year-old girl behind her guardian's back to sign a contract?"

"I'm her brother, I am her guardian."

"You're just one of her guardians, and the worst one at that. You've never taken good care of our sister."

Yuan Si's hand rested on Yuan Luoyi's shoulder as he sneered, "That's still better than teaching her to dissect frogs. She has no interest in electrically stimulating frog legs' nerves, yet you insisted on teaching her, giving her nightmares for several nights."

Yuan Jun forcefully slapped Yuan Si's hand away and hid Yuan Luoyi behind himself. "Scientific experiments and practical activities can develop a child's intelligence. I'm thinking about her future."

Yuan Si said, "I can teach her to be charming, a skill that will truly help her. She'll gain the highest fame and countless wealth!"

Yuan Jun scoffed, "Fame and fortune are mere mirages that require selling one's soul to the devil. This child will grow up to be wise and free!"

Yuan Jun grabbed Yuan Luoyi's wrist. "Let's go, and leave this madman to torment others!"

However, Yuan Si grabbed Yuan Luoyi's other wrist, clearly enraged, emanating a dangerous aura. "Don't test my limits. Today, she stays by my side."

The students hesitated, occasionally glancing over. Because next to Yuan Si, Fifth Brother Yuan Jun emanated an aura of "keep your distance" that instinctively warned the students to stay away from him.

They were right. Of all age groups, Yuan Jun disliked children the most. Their high-pitched voices tormented his nerves, and their childish mindsets made him feel there was a clear distinction between humans and beasts.

However, Yuan Jun could tolerate Yuan Luoyi. As a child, his sister was just as fragile and naive, often tilting her head in confusion, yet Yuan Jun found her endearing.

Even he was surprised by his own double standards, but he did enjoy being an older brother.

In the end, the students gave up on approaching them.

"Let's get his autograph next time. That guy in the white lab coat is pretty handsome, but a little scary."

"Yeah, I envy Yuan Luoyi. Her brothers are all so accomplished."

"No, no, no, you should admire her. The Yuan family's five brothers are no ordinary people, and she can still eat her cold noodles with such composure. That's true impressiveness."

"True!"

Amidst the exclamations of Yuan Luoyi's terrifying nature, the students left in groups.

In fact, Yuan Luoyi was not composed either. She had simply grown accustomed to being frightened, so her expressions were more subdued. Facing her two brothers, she was still quite nervous.

She frowned, contemplating how to escape.

Yuan Si noticed and leaned closer to Yuan Luoyi. "What's wrong? Would you like some fruit juice?"

Before Yuan Luoyi could answer, Yuan Jun let out a cold laugh. "She never likes fruit juice! You're really not suited to take care of her!"

Yuan Jun pulled his chair closer to Yuan Luoyi. "Don't mind him. Just let Fifth Brother know if you need anything."

A hand reached over and abruptly pushed Yuan Jun away as Yuan Si lowered his voice dangerously, "Keep your distance from her, or else, my dear brother, I'll make you relive those unspeakable memories."

Yuan Jun said, "Hah, unspeakable? You've never bested me more than a few times! My dear brother, perhaps you should go to the hospital and have your brain examined!"

With a soft sigh, Yuan Luoyi knew it had started again.

Just as Yuan Luoyi had resigned herself to continue eating her cold noodles, Director Zhang hurried over, clearly coming for Yuan Luoyi.
