Chapter 289

When Bryan came out of the examination room, he was beaming with sunshine and heaping praises on Dylan, "Dylan, I'm really impressed with your medical skills. How can those nonsensical things like this scope or that scope be useful? Just one look and you knew I'm fine, yet the tyrant still insisted on making me undergo tests. Was it just a plot to mess with me…" With a helpless smile on his face, Dylan tolerated Bryan’s never-ending chit-chat. He turned to Lucas and said, “Lucas, Bryan is all fine. He took both the gastroscopy and colonoscopy two months ago during a health checkup, there is no need to repeat them this time. His blood sugar levels are normal, so the Diabetes that John was worried about does not exist. He's at his growth stage now, so it is normal that he eats more. You all need not worry too much about it.” Lucas, who already knew the reason behind Bryan's binge eating, naturally wouldn't force him to undergo further examination. After thanking Dylan, he left the hospital. The ordeal finally over, Bryan couldn’t contain his high spirits, humming to himself all the way home. But his good mood did not last long. As the scenery outside became more familiar, his expression fell once again. "Hey, stop the car, stop the car. This isn’t the way home. Where are you taking me and Jane? Are you trying to kidnap us and extort money from the tyrant?" Lucas remained expressionless, too lazy to entertain him. Instead, it was little Jane who looked out the window and doubtedly looked at Bryan with her grape-like sparkling eyes, "Huh? Brother, this is the way to the Kindergarten, don't you remember?" Bryan's inner self shed two lines of heartbroken tears. He remembered, oh, how could he forget? Even if he gets to be seventy or eighty in the future, he would still remember this path. With a gloomy face, he said, "Lucas, could you please not be so ruthless? I am your own brother; do you really have to do this to me? I just came back from the hospital after a physical examination, but you won't even let me rest for a day. You want to send me back to school right away. Don't you feel any guilt at all?" "Heh, so, your physical examination, where they just measured your height and weight, can be an excuse for skipping school?" coldly retorted Lucas. Bryan wore an expression of utter despair. Jane tugged at Lucas, her voice soft and sticky as she said, "Brother Lucas, why don't we let brother Bryan go home and rest today? He can go back to school tomorrow!" As she said this, she winked at Lucas. Blackie had mentioned that he needed to observe the glutton more to understand him better. Lucas immediately understood that there was a reason for her to allow Bryan to take a rest. With a frown, he begrudgingly agreed, "Since Jane pleaded on your behalf, you can go home and take a rest today!" Overwhelmed with excitement, Bryan hugged Jane. If it weren't for the limited space in the car, he would have loved to embrace his sweet sister and fly high into the sky! He gently squeezed Jane's soft little face with his hand, "Jane, you really are my little angel!" Jane's face was pinched so hard by him that it really hurt. She quickly pulled his paw off, "Ouch, ouch, ouch, brother, let go, let go!" Lucas's icy, stern gaze flew right onto Bryan. Swiftly withdrawing his hand, Bryan rubbed his hands in embarrassment like a fly, "Little sister, I'm sorry, big brother was just too excited and accidentally got rough." Jane held his hand, cooing sweetly, "Brother, it's okay. Jane doesn't blame you!" Her black eyes shone like obsidian as she looked at her brother with heartfelt concern. The foodie's influence definitely didn't just stop at his appetite. Without realizing, many of his habits had been changing as well. Previously, whenever big brother squeezed her cheeks, he never had to worry about being too rough, and he wouldn't make awkward gestures like rubbing his hands nervously. After sending Jane off to preschool, Lucas returned home with Bryan. Carrying her little schoolbag, Jane stumbled into the classroom, her mind still preoccupied with thoughts of Bryan. She spent half the day absent-mindedly daydreaming. It wasn't until lunchtime when Jane was unknowingly spooning food into her mouth. "Slap!" Suddenly, Helen slapped Jane's hand holding the spoon, declaring frightfully, "Jane, you can't eat that, it's poisonous!" Jane glanced at the delicious looking mushrooms in her bowl, then looked at Helen with clueless eyes. The teacher also walked over, soothingly saying, "Helen, the cafeteria’s uncles and aunties selected these mushrooms carefully, they aren't poisonous." "Hmph!” Helen crossed her arms over her chest haughtily, snorting with a hint of pride. "Teacher, you might be able to fool the other children, but you can't fool me!” "I once went to X City with my mom, there are lots of mushrooms like this over there. I even learned a nursery rhyme before!" Saying this, she began to sing in a powerful and grand manner: 'Red umbrella, white stem, after eating lie in a coffin, then buried by the mountain. Buried by the mountain, crying out, relatives at home eat meals. Eat meals, there are umbrellas, the whole village lies in coffins, no one buries by the mountain, all dry in the wind. Dry in the wind, sunken under the sun, red umbrellas bloom on our bodies!'" The teacher looked at the absolutely non-toxic and deliciously cooked matsutake mushrooms in the children's bowls, somewhat helpless, how should she explain that these mushrooms were not poisonous? Just as the teacher was worried, the attention of the children had shifted. They all put down their bowls and spoons, and gathered around Helen. "Helen, the nursery rhyme you just sang was really catchy. Can you teach me it, please?" "Teach me too!" ... The children eagerly raised their small hands, clamouring to be taught. The teacher: "..." "Why couldn't these kids be as enthusiastic during Chinese classics class? Quickly, the whole classroom echoed with sounds of "Burying the Mountain, wailing". Even the lyrics of the "Tossing handkerchief" game they used to play after class have been changed to this. After two relentless hours, this nursery rhyme has completely replaced the initial children's song taught by Jane, which involved carrying dynamite to blow up the school. It has become the new generational masterpiece in the kindergarten. When all the kids are having a good time, Ares Kai sat next to Jane. "Jane, what's the matter? Why have you been unhappy all day?" Jane blinked her glittering eyes, "Nothing's wrong, Ares Kai, why didn't you go out and play?" Ares Kai firmly pounded his small chest, "I'm your childhood partner. If you're not playing, I'll be here with you." Jane was helpless. Whatever, she couldn't figure out anything regarding the gluttonous devil while sitting here anyway. She'll decide what to do after a good discussion with Blackie when she gets home from school! She stood up, pulling Ares Kai's little hand and strode confidently towards the exterior, "Ares Kai, let's go, let's go play Bury the Mountain with Helen and the others!"
