\u201cStill missing a little.\u201d Yin Yan released their clasped hands and looked at his own palm. \u201cAt least there was an effect.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>

Yu Zhen did not hear him clearly. He inspected his own body, looking for any changes.<\/p>

Looking at his silly actions, Yin Yan couldn\u2019t resist stepping forward and touching his head.<\/p>

Briefly, Yu Zhen froze at his touch then looked up at him.<\/p>

From his outward appearance, it was impossible to identify Yu Zhen as a twenty-two-year-old. He looked like he had just entered adulthood and still had some baby fat.<\/p>

He dressed maturely and rather old-fashioned, but if Yu Zhen was compared to Yin Le, his face would appear younger.\u00a0<\/p>

But, what was abnormal was that Yin Le was seventeen, and Yu Zhen was twenty-two.<\/p>

Yin Yan experienced a rare moment of absent-mindedness, but his appearance remained calm as per usual. He did not have a blank look in his eyes, so no one detected his shift in attention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Yu Zhen noticed his quietness. He probed, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Did I do something wrong?\u201d<\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s hair brushed against his palm, creating a wave of gentle aching in him.<\/p>

As he returned to his senses, Yin Yan visually estimated his height and asked, \u201cHow tall are you?\u201d<\/p>

Struggling to follow his thoughts, Yu Zhen\u2019s mind whirled. He guessed the hand on his head was to measure his height. Unable to resist temptation, Yu Zhen looked straight ahead and discovered his gaze only reached Yin Yan\u2019s chin and lips. Feeling a sense of embarrassment, he stepped backward and replied, \u201c175 cm…I-I can still grow!\u201d<\/p>

Men can still grow into their early twenties. I-I still have a chance!<\/em><\/p>

In truth, he stopped growing when he hit eighteen. His hope of continuing to grow was a distant one, but he still held hope. What if it really happened!?<\/em><\/p>

\u201cIndeed, you will grow taller. You\u2019ll grow to roughly here.\u201d Not only would he continue to grow, but the youthfulness would fade from his face, and he would grow into a mature, dazzling appearance.<\/p>

Yin Yan\u2019s words were certain. His hand was raised to his eyebrows.<\/p>

Yu Zhen, expecting Yin Yan to poke fun at him, was surprised by his seriousness. His eyes lit up. He looked at Yin Yan and estimated his height. Expectantly, he asked, \u201cI\u2019ll really grow this tall? Up to here?\u201d As he spoke, he raised his hand to Yin Yan\u2019s eyebrows.<\/p>

His overwhelming excitement was conveyed through his heart. Unable to resist the nearly overflowing emotions, Yin Yan reached up to hold Yu Zhen\u2019s hand. With patience he replied, \u201cYes. This tall. You\u2019ll grow up until here after your soul has grown strong.\u201d<\/p>

\u201c…Huh???\u201d<\/p>

The lifted corners of his mouth flattened. He tentatively asked, \u201cPeople\u2019s heights are related to their soul?\u201d<\/p>

The question was ridiculous, but Yin Yan replied patiently.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s related. Your height is set by heaven the moment you are born. However, you haven\u2019t achieved your potential because your soul is badly damaged. It\u2019s only able to support your life, and has no strength for anything else.\u201d<\/p>

\u201c…\u201d<\/p>

Turns out there was such a reason.<\/p>

The joy in Yu Zhen\u2019s heart faded as he realized something.<\/p>[If you want to improve your soul…][Refine your soul.\u201d]\u3000<\/em><\/p>[To refine a soul…][Meet ghosts, accumulate merit…]

\u201c…\u201d<\/p>

Yin Yan held his hand and led him back into the restaurant. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I will help you.\u201d\u3000<\/em><\/p>

No. This isn\u2019t an issue of whether you are or aren\u2019t helping me, but the issue of…forget it.<\/em><\/p>

Yu Zhen looked back at the alley. He remembered the old woman as she wandered around looking lost. Pursing his lips, he turned back and said, \u201cThank you. I\u2019ll work hard.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The two men were out for a long time. When they returned, Yu Zhen\u2019s spirits were low, his hair messy, and his clothes covered in dust from falling over. It conveyed the image of a person who had just experienced \u201cdomestic violence.\u201d<\/p>

When Qiu Feiqian saw him, her heart stuttered, and her palms began to sweat.<\/p>

I heard patients with mental issues, eight or nine out of ten will have violent tendencies. Xiao Yan, this\u2026<\/em><\/p>

Yin Le, unable to hold back, glanced at Yin Yan and asked Yu Zhen with feigned casualness, \u201cYu Ge, what were you doing with Brother? Why do you have dust everywhere?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAh, sorry. I\u2019m being rude.\u201d<\/p>

Yu Zhen quickly stood up from the table, turned around, and patted at the dirt on his clothing. Embarrassed, he said, \u201cYin Yan took me out for a walk. I accidentally fell.\u201d<\/p>

And here it is. <\/em>Alarm bells rang in Yin Le\u2019s mind.<\/p>

This is how things play out on TV. The partner who is abused covers up the problem for all sorts of reasons, and the most common excuse is falling over!<\/em><\/p>

Everyone here is an adult, and the road outside is flat. How could you fall over so easily! And the way Ge took you outside is very suspicious!<\/em><\/p>

Could it be, Ge was unsatisfied with the way Yu Ge reacted to our parents, so he took him out for a \u201clesson\u201d?<\/em>\u3000\u3000<\/em><\/p>

An analysis of ethics played out in Yin Le\u2019s mind. Qiu Feiqian\u2019s heart was pricked by that sentence. Worried and angered, she could not suppress the resurgence of hatred for Han Ya who caused Yin Yan to be in that state. A feeling of sorrow for Yu Zhen also welled up within her.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cUm, Xiao Yan, about the property notarization, I\u2019ve discussed it with your father. We\u2019ve decided to respect your and Yu Zhen\u2019s wishes, but we feel this wrongs Yu Zhen too much. So, we\u2019ve decided to put a small portion of shares from the subsidiary company you manage under Yu Zhen\u2019s name. This means he will get some dividends every year. What do you think?\u201d<\/p>

With the Yin family\u2019s properties, it was extremely stingy to give the daughter-in-law such a small portion of shares for a subsidiary company. However, due to the unclear circumstances between Yin Yan and Yu Zhen, Qiu Feiqian decided to act \u201cstingy\u201d while she observed the situation.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cYou can make the decision.\u201d<\/p>

Yin Yan did not refuse her gesture of goodwill. As dividends were distributed yearly, they would not receive any money for a period of time. It wasn\u2019t necessary to refute his elders.<\/p>

Yu Zhen swallowed the words of refusal he had intended to say. With a nudge from Yin Yan, he thanked Qui Feiqian.\u00a0<\/p>

Qiu Feiqian shifted to sit more upright. She moved onto the main issue. With implied meaning, she said, \u201cThere\u2019s one more thing. Your father and I feel it is non-negotiable. It\u2019s your premarital check-up. Where you go for the check-up is for you both to decide. But since no one is busy now, why don\u2019t we all go to the hospital tomorrow? We can make use of the timing and have the whole family treat it as a routine check-up. What do you think? \u201d<\/p>

The issue was also mentioned by staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Yu Zhen was not opposed to the suggestion. Easing the mind of Mother and Father Yin was a good thing. He turned to look at Yin Yan.\u00a0<\/p>

Yin Yan saw through the meaning and guilty conscience hidden behind Qiu Feiqian\u2019s words. Stroking the ring on his finger, he nodded.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cOk, Mother can arrange it.\u201d<\/p>

Qiu Feiqian breathed a sigh of relief.<\/p>

He\u2019s willing to go for a check-up; it looks like there\u2019s no domestic violence. There\u2019s still hope for him.<\/em><\/p>

As it was getting late, a waiter was called over, and they ordered dishes. They had a lively dinner.<\/p>

As they ate, Qiu Feiqian gained some understanding of Yu Zhen\u2019s circumstances. When she learned he was the only one left in his family, her sympathy and motherly love overflowed. From time to time, she added food to his plate. The more she spoke with him, the more she liked him.<\/p>

Though Yu Zhen was timid, spoke little, and wasn\u2019t a charming talker, he was steadfast, sincere, and a filial child. His respect and care for his seniors came from the bottom of his heart. Qiu Feiqian, used to seeing sham displays of politeness, thoroughly enjoyed his sincerity.\u00a0<\/p>

Very good.<\/em><\/p>

After finishing their meal, Qiu Feiqian, who had been tormented by Han Ya for many years, was moved and almost overwhelmed with emotion.<\/p>

Comparing Yu Zhen and Han Ya, she thought if her son snagged this daughter-in-law by going insane, it would be fine if he had gone insane! It would be better if he stayed insane! She wouldn\u2019t even worry about it!<\/p>

\u201cStay at the hotel with me. Tomorrow, I\u2019ll take you to a shopping mall. Men also need to dress warm. Don\u2019t learn from Xiao Yan and wear only a jacket in the middle of winter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

At the restaurant\u2019s doorway, Qiu Feiqian tugged on Yu Zhen\u2019s arm. She guided him towards the car as she spoke.<\/p>

Yin Yan caught on quickly and stopped her. Calmly, he said, \u201cMom, Yu Zhen and I will return to the temple.\u201d<\/p>

Qiu Feiqian paused for a moment and glared at him. She reached out to Yu Zhen again and reasoned, \u201cYou\u2019ve already ripped down the door, why do you want to live there! You really don\u2019t understand how to do things!\u201d<\/p>

Yin Yan did not give way. Not only did he pull Yu Zhen back, but he even stepped in front of him. \u201cIt was only the courtyard door. The building\u2019s door is perfectly fine. It\u2019s habitable.\u201d<\/p>

\u201c…\u201d<\/p>

Is this shameful son a fool, or is he pretending to be a fool! He doesn\u2019t understand the door issue is only an excuse? He\u2019ll really frustrate me to death!<\/em>\u3000<\/em><\/p>

She heard from Yin Le about temple\u2019s worn-out state. There wasn\u2019t even a decent bathroom. The weather is so cold. There\u2019s a nice, warm hotel, but he\u2019s dragging his recently married partner to suffer in the cold. Is his brain damaged?!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

\u201cHow about… I send you an-and Father to the hotel first? Then I\u2019ll head to the temple by myself.\u201d Yu Zhen peeked his head out from behind Yin Yan\u2019s shoulder and spoke quietly, but implicitly expressed his own thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>

He didn\u2019t want to go to the hotel. Whether if it was a golden nest or a silver one, it couldn\u2019t compare to his own bird nest. And, he still needed to light joss sticks for his grandfather.<\/p>

The leading man of the day had spoken. Qiu Feiqian couldn\u2019t ruthlessly deny him the way she might deny her own sons. Yin Yan turned to Yu Zhen and asked, \u201cDo you know how to drive?\u201d<\/p>

Yu Zhen dumbly nodded, \u201cI have a driving license, but…\u201d<\/p>

\u201cUncle Weng, pass me the car keys.\u201d<\/p>

Yin Yan took Yu Zhen\u2019s hand then nodded to Qui Feiqian and Yin Hexiang. \u201cMom, Dad, goodnight. It\u2019s dark now. Yu Zhen and I won\u2019t send you back to the hotel. See you tomorrow at the hospital.\u201d<\/p>

As he finished speaking, he took the keys Wneg Xiping brought over. He held Yu Zhen\u2019s hand, pulled him to the driver\u2019s side, and stuffed him into the car. He tossed the keys towards Yu Zhen. Then, he naturally moved to the passenger side and got in the car.<\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>

Having become accustomed to following his orders that day, Yu Zhen obeyed. He started the car and began driving before realizing he should have said goodbye to his seniors. However, the car was already on the road. It wasn\u2019t convenient to turn back. He could only apologize in his heart and brace himself for driving.<\/p>

The black car quickly merged into the traffic. Too quick for the Yin family to respond in time.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cAh! My hare meat!\u201d Yin Le suddenly exclaimed.<\/p>

Qiu Feiqian patted him before turning to glare at Weng Xiping. \u201cWhy did you give him the key so quickly?!\u201d<\/p>

Weng Xiping looked straight ahead and calmly replied, \u201cMadam, according to my observations, Mr. Yu\u2019s family temple only has one bed.\u201d<\/p>

Silence descended. Weng Xiping added, \u201cMadam seemed to like Mr. Yu very much… this is a good opportunity.\u201d<\/p>

The silence continued. Yin Hexiang patted his arm and said, \u201cWell done! Sure enough, it\u2019s Weng Xiping who knows what to do.\u201d<\/p>

Weng Xiping\u2019s smile was reserved.<\/p>

Fu…ck\u2026.<\/p>

Yin Le quietly sighed. He was stunned by his own parents\u2019 and family butler\u2019s vulgarity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The love everyone gives to Yu Zhen is very sweet. The story starts off quite slow, but rest assured, Xiao Yu* will become better and better.<\/p>
