The day after Ji Mian agreed to the marriage, Ji Tingyan arranged a mental test for him in the hospital.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the test quickly yielded the result—Ji Mian's mental power was still at level B, with no change.
Ji Tingyan: “Sure enough.”
There was no joy or anger on his face, and he said, "The engagement ceremony will be in three days, get ready."
After saying this, a group of people left the ward.
The detector was taken away, and the faint light on Ji Mian’s fingertips faded away from the angle where no one noticed.
His hands were under the quilt, and the Goddess of Light Butterfly landed between his fingers, its silver antennae drooping slightly.
Ji Mian said softly: "It's okay, wait a little longer."
He was not in a hurry, but someone was.
"elder brother!"
That afternoon, Ji Cheng broke into the ward despite the doctor's obstruction.
"You know what? Dad wants you and the Sawyer family—"
"You're late." Ji Mian picked up the cup, which contained a translucent healing potion. "It's all settled."
Ji Cheng was furious: "Did he force you? How could Dad do this! We are not familiar with the Sawyer family at all. You have never even met Audrey, how can you be together!"
Ji Mian: "What's the big deal? Isn't this how marriages are in our family?"
Ji Cheng choked up, feeling that it was a bit strange for these words to come out of his brother's mouth... But now, most of his attention was distracted by another thing, and it was not enough to support him to think more about this detail.
Ji Mian slowly drank the healing potion. Ji Cheng looked at his quiet and pale profile, wandered around the bed for a few circles, and clenched his fists.
"Brother, let me take you away!"
He made up his mind to say this, but Ji Mian's expression did not change at all after hearing it: "Forget it."
Ji Cheng said anxiously, "Brother! Do you really want to stay here and wait for them to tie you up and take you to get engaged in a few days?"
Ji Mian interrupted calmly: "I am just a B-level ability user, and you are just a support system. Where can the two of us run to?"
Ji Cheng: "But, but... there will always be a way!"
"There is no other way." Ji Mian said, "In fact, the Suoya family is a good choice. They have a certain amount of power and are rich enough."
"I won't suffer any loss if I marry them."
Ji Cheng was stunned: "Brother... do you really think so?"
Ji Mian said calmly: "One must always accept his fate."
Ji Cheng: “…”
The door of the ward opened, and Ji Cheng walked out with a dazed look on his face, still not recovering from the blow he had just suffered.
He held his head and squatted at the door of the ward.
His brother... How could he become like that
Those words were so strange, and coming from his brother's mouth, they were extremely abrupt and weird.
Why did my brother give up and abandon himself like that
…It must be my dad’s fault!
No wonder my brother doesn't want to come back here, Dad, Mom...
Ji Cheng suddenly realized that the two closest relatives he once knew were now so unfamiliar.
The door of the ward was closed and Ji Mian leaned quietly against the head of the bed.
On one side of the room, a hidden camera quietly recorded everything.
—After Ji Tingyan informed him of the marriage, a camera facing the bed was installed in the ward.
