As Wen Ruo noticed that Jian Yiling was determined, she asked: “Do you really want him to leave his room?”

Jian Yiling: “Of course! If he stays like that, he will be bored out of his mind!”

Wen Ruo: “Hmm, usual methods are useless. Everyone has tried them already. Why don’t you try to spur him on with negative remarks?”

Jian Yiling: “Spur him on with negative remarks?”

Wen Ruo: “Yeah, you can deliberately say something to anger him. Perhaps it would help.”

Jian Yiling: “Will it work?”

Wen Ruo: “I’m not sure. However, no one else has tried this method. We’ve given him words of encouragement however, it’s no use.”

Jian Yiling: “Then why didn’t you guys try to spur him on with negative remarks?”

.

Wen Ruo: “It will depend on the person. If we do it, he will know that we’re intentionally trying to get him out of his room.”

“Okay.”

Nine-year-old Jian Yiling believed in Wen Ruo’s words.

Then, Wen Ruo added: “If you can get Brother Wen Yan to leave his room, it’s definitely an amazing achievement. It will help him a lot in his future recovery.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

And thus, Jian Yiling ran back to her room and took out a notebook. She started to make notes on it.

[You dummy! Isn’t it just an injury? Why can’t you play with us?]

Jian Yiling wrote line after line. However, she crossed many of those sentences out.

They just didn’t seem right.

It didn’t seem negative enough.

She had to be more aggressive!

[Why can’t you play? Look at us, we can all play!]

Hmm, this seemed better.

Nine-year-old Jian Yiling scratched her head and racked her brains for more ideas.

In the end, she wrote a whole page of comments.

After she looked at her page, Jian Yiling paused for a moment. What if Brother Wen Yan ignored her in the future?

This thought made a frown appear on her small face.

However, when she remembered the look on Brother Wen Yan’s face, Jian Yiling decided to execute this plan.

First of all, she had to make sure that Brother Wen Yan left his room!

Then, she could apologize to him after that!

Yep, that was a good plan!

Around midnight, the light in Wen Yan’s room was still on.

As he had just arrived in Beijing, the change of environment made him very uncomfortable.

In addition, he met Jian Yiling today. Therefore, his mood was somewhat affected.

It was as though those harsh words were echoing in his ears.

“Wen Yan, you don’t even leave your room!”

“Wen Yan, you’re useless!”

“Wen Yan, if you have what it takes, come out and hit me!”

Then, Wen Yan lowered his head to look at his legs.

Due to his condition, the muscles on his legs had shrunken by a lot.

Even though someone came to massage his legs every day, the muscle atrophy could not be completely suppressed.

How ugly.

In fact, Jian Yiling’s words back then were true. He was indeed useless.

At this moment, someone knocked on his door.

“Who is it?”

“Brother Wen Yan, it’s me.”

It was Wen Ruo’s voice.

“Come in.”

Wen Ruo was one of the few people who could still communicate with Wen Yan.

Wen Ruo entered the room with a midnight snack.

“I saw that the light in your room was still on. Therefore, I brought some snacks over. You should have something to eat before you sleep.”

“Are you feeling better?” Wen Yan asked.

“I don’t want Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen to be upset for me,” Wen Ruo replied.

“That’s good,” Wen Yan said. Typically, Wen Yan did not speak much. This was considered a talkative moment.

Wen Ruo hesitated for a moment before she asked: “Brother Wen Yan, I understand your pain now. Although I’m not physically injured, there’s no longer a place for me in the outside world. Even Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen said I did something wrong. Will you also look down on me?”
