"What's up with Jin Chen, looking like a frostbitten eggplant? No energy first thing in the morning—is this how a young man should be?"
Jin Chen lay on the sofa like a dead fish.
Mother Jin came downstairs and caught sight of such a salted fish, and immediately began to scold him.
Jin Chen mumbled incoherently.
"What did you say?"
"My brother bullied me!!" Jin Chen sat up, his face full of anger, "He..."
"Enough from you," Mother Jin cut him off directly, "Don't go against your brother, and don't provoke him."
"!!!"
Jin Chen was stunned.
Do you have any idea who is provoking whom, Mom?
I'm the one who's being provoked, okay?
My brother is just fine!
He isn't as fragile as you all make him out to be!
"Mom, I'm telling you..."
"What's there to say? Hurry up and get changed, and then take breakfast to your brother. He's living alone, and I can't help but worry, oh..."
"But he..."
Mother Jin waved her hand, indicating for him to stop dawdling and to go quickly.
