I Cannot Afford to Mess with My Sister
Chapter 1
Ever since October, the weather had become colder. Even when there was no wind, one could still feel a trace of coldness. Not to mention, the wind had been howling for the past few days, and the sky was gloomy. It felt as if the sky was about to fall at any moment.
The young miss of Unsullied Heights, Ryōjō Jin, fell ill at this time. Once she fell ill, the core of the house changed, and the person who moved in was a guest from another world.
The name of this guest from another world was very similar to that of the young miss. Her name was Cheng Jin. Before she transmigrated, she was a senior high school student. Every day, she only knew how to study. Her only entertainment was to take out her phone between classes, open Jinjiang Literature City, and read two pages of updates. After reading, she would run wildly on the road where thousands of people and horses crossed the single-plank bridge.
Fortunately, she had lived in Jinjiang before. Otherwise, once she transmigrated, she would be in the dark and would not even know what she was doing.
Fortunately, she had watched the TV series and read the original novel. Coupled with the memories left by the original body, she was able to sort out her current situation.
Her transmigrated body was called Ryōjō Jin, the young miss of Unsullied Heights. The previous master of the house was her father. It was said that he lost to someone in a martial arts competition, and when he came back, he died of depression.
Now, her mother was in charge of the affairs inside and outside the house.
Her mother also had her own name in Jianghu. She was called Bai Honglian, the Double Hook Lotus.
Although her father's death caused the reputation of Unsullied Heights to plummet, with her mother's name, the house's position in Jianghu was still stable.
Other than the mother and daughter, there was also a Young Master in Unsullied Heights. He was the brother of the original body's owner, the famous Lian Chengbi.
Of course, right now, Lian Chengbi was only the Young Master of Unsullied Heights. He had not yet made a name for himself. When people in Jianghu talked about him, they would at most say, "The son of Unsullied Heights' Bai Honglian is a child prodigy. He learns everything very quickly."
But when Cheng Jin, who had just arrived, heard this name, it was as if he was struck by lightning.
There was no other reason. The owner of this name was destined to be at odds with her.
For the existence of "Ryōjō Jin", the name Lian Chengbi pointed to two things that would happen in the future.
First, she would be framed by the young master and thrown into the bed of a passer-by to sully her reputation.
In order to protect the reputation of Unsullied Heights, Lian Chengbi would forcefully betroth her to that person.
Second, she would accidentally reveal the fact that Lian Chengbi was not the biological son of the Lian Chengbi. She would be angrily pushed off the cliff by Lian Chengbi. She would barely survive by eating poisonous grass. After climbing up the cliff with great difficulty, she would only have a year left to live because of the poison.
Not to mention, she would also have a boyfriend and his crooked younger brother who would cause trouble for her.
The life of "Ryōjō Jin" could only be described with three words.
Miserable!
Miserable!
Miserable!
Thinking of this, Cheng Jin decided to change the course of her life. She would stay far away from these characters, including but not limited to the crooked brothers.
As for the main character and the big boss, Lian Chengbi and Young Master Liam, they were the ones she had to guard against.
As long as she did not get involved in the plot, as the young miss of Unsullied Heights, she would definitely be able to live a happy life.
Although that was what she thought, when she really lived in Unsullied Heights, Cheng Jin found that she could not harden her heart. Her relationship with Lian Chengbi was too close. It was impossible for her to stay away from Lian Chengbi.
If she could not stay away from him, she would have to get along with him. Wasn't the relationship between people slowly accumulated through time?
Cheng Jin sighed. Through the window, she looked at the empty space in the courtyard. It had been transformed into a small training ground. Even though the wind was howling, Lian Chengbi was still diligently practicing his swordsmanship.
Looking into the room, in front of the dressing table, there were small pottery figures of different shapes. They were all brought back by Lian Chengbi when he came back from outside. There was also a plate of malt candy on the table. Lian Chengbi had specially gone to the west of the city to buy it for her.
Because she had been throwing a tantrum and did not like to drink medicine these days, Lian Chengbi bought it to coax her and give her a sweet mouth.
Perhaps in the future, Lian Chengbi would really be a great demon who would stop at nothing. But now, when he treated her, Lian Chengbi held a sincere heart.
This made Cheng Jin even more irritated. She wished she could stick her head out and let the cold wind blow so that she could think more calmly.
At this moment, the door creaked open. Lian Xin walked in with a bowl of fermented rice balls.
Once she entered the room, she clearly let out a sigh of relief and complained, "It's really cold today. It feels like it's suddenly winter."
"The old saying 'an autumn rain is followed by a cold' really makes sense." As she said this, she helped Cheng Jin off the bed and even put a coat over Cheng Jin.
"The temperature has dropped these few days. You have to be careful. If I let you catch a cold again, not to mention Madam, even the Young Master would skin me alive!"
As she was speaking, a gust of wind blew by, causing the window to creak. Lianxin was so scared that she let out an "Ouch!" and quickly walked to the window, wanting to close it.
"Wait a minute!"
Cheng Jin stopped her actions. Her almond eyes looked out of the window and hesitantly asked the doubts in her heart, "Brother … .Brother, why are you still practicing your swordsmanship today?"
The wind outside was so strong that it was about to blow people over. It looked like it was going to rain, but looking at Lian Chengbi, he didn't have the slightest intention of entering the room.
When she heard Cheng Jin ask about Lian Chengbi, Lian Xin's eyes suddenly burst with a strange light, like little stars flashing. She quickly replied, "I heard that the Young Master went out today and didn't come back until nine in the morning. After he came back, he started practicing his swordsmanship and has been practicing until now."
"As expected of the Young Master of our Unsullied Heights. He's so hardworking. This is something that the other young masters in the martial arts world can't compare to!"
Lian Xin was a chatterbox. When no one paid attention to her, she could talk for a long time. Now that she was talking about Lian Chengbi, she couldn't stop talking. She began to count the honors of Lian Chengbi one by one with her fingers.
"Young Master was famous in the martial arts world when he was six years old. Whoever heard the name of our Unsullied Heights Young Master would praise him as a child prodigy."
"When he was ten years old, Young Master's swordsmanship was great. He was the first among this group of young heroes."
"Now, everyone in the martial arts world praises the 'Six Gentlemen'. The other five people are sincerely convinced that our Young Master is the best."
Lian Xin was very excited, but in Cheng Jin's ears, she was happy and worried.
She was happy because of Lian Chengbi's achievements. As his sister, she also felt honored.
She was worried because of Lian Chengbi's situation.
Just look at Lian Xin's attitude, and you can see the attitude of the people in Unsullied Heights towards Lian Chengbi.
Lian Chengbi hadn't grown up yet. In the future, he would only know how to study, flirt with young girls, and play with cats and dogs with the boys in his class.
But here, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Unsullied Heights. Every day, he woke up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs. It was so hard that he couldn't even rest.
Even if he worked so hard, no one around him would feel sorry for him. Everyone thought that this was his mission, his responsibility.
They would feel proud of him, but they wouldn't feel sorry for him.
Thinking about what Lian Xin had just said, Cheng Jin frowned and asked, "You said that brother came back today at nine in the morning and has been practicing swordsmanship until now?"
Lian Xin nodded, not noticing the strangeness in Cheng Jin's heart.
Nine in the morning, converted to the 24-hour time system of the future, was 9 to 11 in the morning, followed by lunch time.
If he came back at nine in the morning and practiced swordsmanship until now, then he didn't even eat lunch in the middle!
Before transmigrating, Cheng Jin also had a similar experience of going hungry. However, that time, she had wanted to lose a few more kilograms to make herself look better.
In order to comfort herself and tell herself that it wouldn't hurt her body, she especially ate breakfast to save lunch. But the food she ate in the morning didn't help at all. Before the morning class was over, she was already dizzy from hunger.
At that time, she even cheered herself up. She gritted her teeth and really didn't eat lunch. She didn't expect that not long after the afternoon class started, she sat in the classroom and felt that she was in a bad state.
Her whole body felt like it was wrapped in cotton, and she couldn't think. When someone called her, she was half a beat slower before she could react.
In the end, her deskmate noticed her abnormality and stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth to calm her down.
Such a painful experience made her remember it thoroughly. From then on, she would eat three meals on time every day and didn't dare to be a demon anymore.
Thinking back, she was only studying at that time, and it only used her brain power. But what about Lian Chengbi?
He had to practice swordsmanship for four hours on an empty stomach. That was a full four hours!
This was simply child abuse!
En … Child abuse!
"Why is he so silly? Can't he eat first before practicing!" Cheng Jin couldn't explain her current state of mind. She was a little angry, but also a little distressed.
Although the "plot" kept reminding her of what might happen in the future, it was still the future.
She couldn't possibly give up eating for fear of choking.
But if she really wanted to do something, she couldn't change anything with her current status. Even if she wanted to help reduce Lian Chengbi's burden, she couldn't.
No one in Unsullied Heights would agree with her, including Lian Chengbi himself.
There was no other way. Cheng Jin bit her fingernails and thought about how to help Lian Chengbi.
When her gaze fell on the bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls on the table, it was as if her conception and governing vessels were suddenly connected.
"Lian Xin, go to the kitchen and ask if there's anything left for brother for lunch. Ask them to add another bowl of fish head tofu soup for brother. Also, send the grapes from the Western Regions that were just delivered a few days ago to brother as well."
She remembered that after a great physical exertion, he needed to replenish his body with high protein and glucose. Fish head tofu was high in protein, and glucose was the word for grape. Eating grapes was definitely the right thing to do!
"Grapes?"
Lian Xin repeated and said doubtfully, "But Young Master doesn't like to eat sweet things. Eldest Miss, you should keep them for yourself."
"He doesn't like to eat?" How could it be!
She clearly remembered …
