TNIBFT -Chapter 83 Does she deserve it?

What made Ye Tian nervous wasn’t that the grown-up Ye Yunting might fall in love with another woman, but that this would be a one-sided love.

No guessing needed—the story’s outstanding women were all tailor-made for the male lead.

No matter how madly Ye Yunting loved, Jiang Yunxi was a woman he could never have.

“You… you guys…”

Ye Tian’s expression turned awkward.

Could it be that Ye Yunting’s romance plot was about to start now? The main villain and the heroine meet in a snow pit, the heroine’s aura and unique charm captivate Ye Yunting, and as an adult, he spends his life desperately searching for Jiang Yunxi?

Isn’t that the usual trope in most novels?

“I’ll pull you up.”

By now, Ye Yunting was already standing on Ye Tian’s shoulders, climbing out of the snow pit. He lay on the snow and reached out a small hand, nervously looking at Ye Tian.

Uh…

Ye Tian felt a wave of exasperation.

This kid, suddenly so eager today—is he trying to show off in front of his first love?

Thinking this, Ye Tian turned to look at the shivering girl behind him. Her green dress marked her as the fresh and ethereal Jiang Yunxi, with a pale green ribbon in her hair, giving her a fairy-like aura.

Confident and proud—this was the charm of the goddess doctor Jiang Yunxi.

It was definitely her.

Ye Tian said, “Look at my eldest—he just got up, and the first thing he thought of was saving you. Little girl, you can’t just listen to what someone says; you have to see what they do for you.”

In the original story, Jiang Yunxi was just one of Shen Jie’s many women. With a few words and the protagonist aura, he could make countless women live and die for him.

Mad for love.

But in this book, Ye Yunting’s heart belonged solely to Jiang Yunxi from start to finish.

To help Shen Jie, Jiang Yunxi even repeatedly offered herself as a bargaining chip to gain benefits for him. This drove Ye Yunting into a frenzy of jealousy, which ultimately led to him opposing Shen Jie.

What a tragic fate!

Ye Tian’s head ached—his mission was already difficult enough. Not only did he have to change the villains’ twisted personalities, but he also had to make them stronger.

And now he had to teach his son how to fall in love?

Poor kid had been single all his life in his previous incarnation—how was he supposed to handle this?

Ye Tian lifted Jiang Yunxi so that Ye Yunting could pull her up.

Ye Yunting was stunned.

What was Ye Tian doing?

He frowned slightly, staring at Jiang Yunxi’s outstretched hand, utterly frozen.

You little brat.

Ye Tian was furious. Hold her hand! Such a perfect opportunity, and you don’t know how to cherish it. Otherwise, when you grow up, you won’t be able to chase girls! Ye Tian stomped his foot in frustration: “Ah, hurry up and pull her up!”

With Ye Tian’s urging, Ye Yunting finally stretched out his small hand, grabbing Jiang Yunxi’s arm. Once she was safely up, Ye Tian climbed out of the snow pit himself.

Jiang Yunxi’s heart was still racing, and her dress was covered in dirt. She brushed it off while looking at Ye Yunting, who had saved her.

This kid’s features were delicate and handsome—looking at him now, he might even be prettier than she was.

He had that aloof, high-cold demeanor and wasn’t looking at her.

Jiang Yunxi said, “Since you saved me, I’ll forgive you this time.”

“Forgive me? Are you out of your mind?” Ye Yunting snapped back immediately.

Jiang Yunxi’s eyes widened in anger.

Hearing his son say that, Ye Tian, who had just climbed up, nearly fainted on the spot.

If Ye Yunting had met Jiang Yunxi first, if they had crossed paths as children and shared hardships together, and combined with his own relentless efforts, it wouldn’t have been impossible for Ye Yunting to win Jiang Yunxi’s heart.

Maybe, in this lifetime, Jiang Yunxi would be the one acting like the sycophant, not him?

“He doesn’t mean it like that,” Ye Tian quickly smiled at Jiang Yunxi, explaining, “What my eldest means is—you’re not feeling well, right? You were stuck in that snow pit for so long. Do you want to come to our house and have some ginger tea?”

“Come to your house? Looking at the way you’re dressed, your place can’t be that great either, right?”

Jiang Yunxi lifted her chin, her expression proud. Ye Tian frowned—something about this heroine’s characterization seemed off.

The Jiang Yunxi in the book was lively and kind-hearted, but the one in front of him was spoiled and willful.

Could it be that she was too young to know how to disguise herself, so her personality doesn’t quite match the book?

If Ye Yunting were to fall for this version of Jiang Yunxi, Ye Tian shot his eldest a disdainful look, silently giving him the middle finger in his heart.

“Forget I said anything,” Ye Tian said, then turned and walked toward his own home.

Ye Yunting followed him, jogging, without giving Jiang Yunxi a single glance.

“Eldest?”

Ye Tian glanced back at him and smirked, “Girls like this are troublemakers. Even three spankings a day would be mild. If you ever grow up and marry a girl like this, we’re cutting ties.”

Ye Yunting nodded seriously.

He didn’t understand what kind of wife to look for, but since Ye Tian said this type was absolutely unacceptable, then it was.

“Hey! You’re just leaving like that?”

Jiang Yunxi panicked. On this dark, desolate plain, she couldn’t survive alone for even a moment. Seeing Ye Tian and his brother leave, she gritted her teeth and chased after them, shouting, “Wait for me…”

“Wait for me!”

When Ye Tian and Ye Yunting got home, the house was empty. Only the crackling fire in the hearth broke the terrifying silence.

“They probably went out looking for us. I’ll go check,” Ye Tian said.

“I’ll go with you,” Ye Yunting immediately said, trying to follow. Ye Tian turned to Jiang Yunxi, “You two stay inside. If you go out again, you’ll catch a cold. I’ll be right back.”

With that, Ye Tian lifted the curtain and stepped outside.

The wind and snow swept in through the gaps. Jiang Yunxi shivered, wrapping her arms around herself. Watching the curtain flutter in the wind, she muttered, “Your father treats you well… but this house of yours…Is this even livable?”

Ye Yunting didn’t bother replying. Seeing the soup in the copper pot bubbling, he skillfully lifted the lid and tasted it with a spoon.

No salt had been added.

The aroma of the beef made Jiang Yunxi’s hungry stomach growl. She stared at the beef in the pot, swallowed, and said, “It smells so good…Can I try some?”

“No!”

Ye Yunting put down the spoon and immediately covered the pot, casting a disdainful glance at Jiang Yunxi. Ye Tian was right—girls like this deserved three beatings a day, yet she still wanted to eat his sister’s beef.

Is she worthy?

“So stingy! You think I actually want to eat it? As soon as my master arrives, I’ll leave. Do you think I care about coming to your house?” Jiang Yunxi pouted in the corner, but Ye Yunting completely ignored her.

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ye Tian returned with Xiao Jiang and Ye Shuangxue.

Behind them was a middle-aged man wearing a cloak.

The moment the man entered, Jiang Yunxi ran over and sweetly called out, “Master!”

Qiu Feibai smiled and nodded.

Jiang Yunxi clutched his legs, her shoulders trembling with indignation, her voice choking with tears, “Master… Master thought I’d never see you again. I was so scared—I fell into a snow pit…”

“I already know,” Qiu Feibai said calmly.
