Chapter 32 You brainwashed him until he was stupid?!

An Yi could tell that Jin He was still a little resentful, but under An Yi's tyranny, Jin He had no choice but to accept his feeding six times a day. Actually, it wasn't much; at most, each meal would be half a bowl of rice, and sometimes a snack the size of half a palm. The main idea was to eat small meals frequently.

An Yi had to keep a close eye on her, because if he wasn't careful, Jin He might just shove the food down her throat.

But when An Yi called him to dinner today, he was clearly a little smug.

"What are you laughing at?" Jin He sat down directly on the sofa in his lounge. The afternoon snacks were already laid out on the table: a very small pretzel bread and half a glass of milk next to it. Jin He had just eaten a plate of beef for lunch, not much, but it made her feel nauseous.

"What are you laughing at?" Jin He sensed that An Yi was acting strangely.

"The production team will invite guest mentors for the second public performance," An Yi said with a smile. "Guess who they'll invite?"

"It couldn't be those people, could it?" Jin He reached out and broke off a small piece of bread, pushing the rest away. Seeing An Yi still laughing, a bad feeling instantly rose in her heart.

"Could it really be that group of people..." Jin He looked at him and guessed, "Shen Duoyuan?"

"Jiang Xiubai? That shouldn't be the case. He should be filming abroad right now..."

"Could it be the captain?!"

"Oh right, it's Lin Nian. He mentioned coming to participate in the show when he came to see you last time, but he only recently managed to schedule it. He said he wanted to catch up with you properly. You left so suddenly back then, and he didn't even have a chance to have a proper talk with you."

"You didn't tell him I was sick, did you?"

"No, I wouldn't tell him something this important online."

I will tell on you both!

If you don't listen to me, do you think you can ignore Lin Nian?!

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door of the lounge. Jin He looked up and saw Lin Nian standing at the door, smiling at him, as if to confirm An Yi's words.

"You're here, Xiao He."

It is common knowledge that a truly gentle, generous, and understanding person can be a team leader, but it is absolutely impossible for them to control four other hot-blooded young men.

Jin He held a deep and sincere admiration for Lin Nian...

And fear.

Are you having afternoon tea?

“Yes.” An Yi stood up and said clearly, “Because Jin He went for a physical examination yesterday and was diagnosed with heart failure, I’m keeping an eye on his daily diet.”

Lin Nian's smile froze instantly, her eyes widened as she stared at Jin He in disbelief, exclaiming, "Heart...heart failure?!"

Jin He tried to jump up and cover An Yi's mouth, but An Yi pressed her down on the sofa with one hand, making her unable to move.

"Yes, all cardiovascular diseases progress to heart failure as their final stage. He nearly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest three years ago..."

"An Yi!" Jin He gritted her teeth and interrupted him, "Shut up!"

Lin Nian was stunned by the news and sat on the sofa for a long time without reacting. Jin He's eyes were darting around at the two of them, ready to find a chance to run away.

“I know An Yi wouldn’t lie to me about something like this.” Lin Nian walked over and patted An Yi on the shoulder, then pressed Jin He down to sit. “You can leave for a moment, I need to talk to Xiao He.”

The person who can truly handle Jin He has arrived. An Yi looked down at Jin He, whom he had pinned down, his face flushed with anger, but he also felt a pang of pity: "He can't take any stimulation right now, so please be gentle with him."

Lin Nian: "..."

"Then you should try to persuade them yourself."

If he could persuade her himself, would he have needed to call Lin Nian over? An Yi then became obedient, glanced back at Jin He, and walked out the door.

As soon as Lin Nian's gaze fell on Jin He, Jin He retorted like a little hedgehog, "I can't withdraw from the competition."

"I'm not saying you should withdraw from the competition."

The last thing An Yi heard when he left the room was this. He believed in Lin Nian's eloquence. Whenever there was a fight or conflict between people in the team, Lin Nian would mediate. She was a top-notch mediator with a silver tongue. Even someone as stubborn as Jin He couldn't win an argument with her.

About half an hour later, the door was opened and Lin Nian came out and waved to him, but An Yi didn't notice Lin Nian and went straight into the room to check on Jin He's condition.

He was sitting on the sofa with his head down, hugging a cushion. The bread on the coffee table had been eaten, and there was only a little milk left. Even though An Yi sat down next to him, he didn't react at all, which startled An Yi.

"What's wrong? Have you brainwashed him to the point of stupidity?"

Lin Nian: "...Is what you're saying even human language? He's just having some existential questions right now. He'll eat properly and rest on time from now on."

Is it really that effective?

"Look, she's already had afternoon tea snacks and hasn't thrown up yet." Lin Nian didn't seem very happy. "So you'll have to tell me what happened later. How could our Xiao He, at such a young age, have heart failure?"

"Didn't you try to brainwash him and get him back together with me?"

Lin Nian smiled and asked, "Do you think that's possible?"

Of course not.

Lin Nian had always felt that it wasn't right for the two of them to be together.

"Stay away from him now, let him take a nap here, we'll go outside to talk. Yes, let go of his hand!" The captain's authority was absolute, and An Yi had no choice but to obediently let go and follow the captain out the door.

Jin He didn't take a nap, at least not at An Yi's place. He got up without a word and left right under their noses. Lin Nian didn't stop him; he understood Jin He's feelings and didn't want to push him too hard.

Fang Xiaoke was stretching her legs in the practice room when she saw Jin He walk in and asked, "Brother Xiao He, you're back."

"Hmm." Jin He walked over and stretched her legs with Fang Xiaoke, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

"The production team said we'll meet in the rehearsal hall at 6 PM," Fang Xiaoke said mysteriously. "I heard there will be guest mentors! I'm really curious about who they are, Xiao He, aren't you curious too?"

To be honest, Jin He wasn't particularly curious, because just ten minutes ago, he had been lectured by his flight instructor, who went on to talk about everything from his daily routine to his eating habits, from reminiscing about the past to looking at the present. Before Jin He could even react, he had already admitted his mistake through his actions.
