It's late at night in a small town in Chengdu, in a hotel.

Wang Fa watched as his classmates gathered together, toasting and drinking, and everyone who saw him had to call him "President Wang." His heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

Back then, he was often compared to students with excellent grades because he didn't do well in school. Teachers, classmates, family members... kept nagging him.

However, once he entered society, his achievements surpassed those of his high-achieving classmates, redeeming himself from the shame of his youth.

This class reunion was definitely worth it!

Everyone looked at him. Wang Fa straightened his suit jacket, picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said unhurriedly:

"It's been many years since we last met, and everyone has changed a lot. But I really miss my high school days and the days I spent studying with my old classmates. How innocent we were back then. That was a youth that can never be returned to. Today, we meet again, and I recall those days. How wonderful they were."

To prepare his opening remarks, Wang Fa had already prepared a draft in his mind; otherwise, given his level of education, it would have been difficult for him to deliver such a speech.

He paused, looked around, and said with a regretful tone, "It's a pity... not all of my old classmates were here tonight, especially Chu Fang. I ran into him today. Even riding an electric scooter, he was still so radiant and admirable. But he had to go to the hospital for a checkup, so he couldn't come."

A girl asked with a hint of worry, "What illness does Chu Fang have? Why don't we all go and visit him?"

Wang Fa twitched the corner of his mouth, and a sentence floated into his mind:

Good looks are everything!

Chu Fang was handsome and the object of many high school girls' secret crushes. Unexpectedly, these girls are still missing Chu Fang now.

A successful person is standing in front of you right now, but you're worried about someone else.

I'm treating everyone to the class reunion. Since you're getting a free meal, at least consider my feelings.

A bunch of ingrates!

Wang Fa replied, "I think it shouldn't be a big problem. I told him to call me anytime if he encounters any difficulties."

"Mr. Wang is so generous!" a boy exclaimed.

"Wang Fa still remembered our friendship with our old classmates and asked us to toast him."

“... ..."

Upon hearing compliments, especially from old classmates who had once outperformed him academically, Wang Fa wore a faint smile.

Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night!

That's exactly the feeling I wanted.

... ...

Although Chu Fang did not attend the so-called classmate reunion, some familiar old classmates tipped him off and secretly told him what had happened at the hotel.

As expected—it was pretty much what he had predicted.

Even if he didn't go, Wang Fa would still mention him a couple of times. If he had gone, Wang Fa would have taken advantage of him to make the most of his past painful experiences.

Chu Fang simply smiled and let it go.

Like I said before, as long as you don't insult me, I'm happy.

I generally don't argue with idiots.

... ...

As the new day begins, the clouds over Chengdu disperse, revealing a boundless blue sky. The air is crisp and clear, and the sun slowly rises.

Early in the morning, Chu Fang got up, moved a chair, lay down in the yard, and enjoyed the sun.

The sun is quite common in Chengdu, especially in winter, and it feels warm and cozy on your skin.

Life in my hometown is always so boring, so boring that I'm always drowsy.

Suddenly, the iron gate of the courtyard creaked open. Looking in the direction of the sound, two middle-aged people walked in, a man and a woman. Chu Yi's face could be seen on both of them.

That's right, these two are Chu Yi's parents, and also Chu Fang's uncle and aunt, Chu Feng and Qian Liyan.

"Uncle, Aunt." Chu Fang nodded when he saw them.

"Fangfang is sunbathing." His aunt's eyes narrowed when she saw him; she was especially happy.

“...Yes.” Chu Fang was speechless, but could only accept that feminine form of address.

Auntie was a restless person, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to help Chu's mother. Meanwhile, Uncle brought a stool from the room and sat down next to her. Chu's father appeared out of nowhere again and moved the tea set that Chu Fang had bought for him to the middle of the yard, where he started to set it up.

Father Chu poured three cups of tea. The eldest uncle took a sip and said, "Good tea! Sweet, refreshing, and with a lingering aftertaste. What kind of tea is the second brother drinking?"

Chu's father said, "I don't know, this kid brought it back."

The eldest uncle looked at Chu Fang and said, "I want one too."

“My dad has a lot more in his room,” Chu Fang replied.

The three sat in the middle of the courtyard, enjoying the sunlight.

"When will you be home, brother?" Chu Fang asked.

“A few more days,” the uncle replied. “He’s busy at work.”

The eldest brother is Chu Fang's cousin and also Chu Yi's older brother. He works in Rongcheng and is already married.

The uncle looked up at the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Chu Fang, I thank you on behalf of Yi Yi."

"Hey, she's my little sister," Chu Fang said dismissively.

“That’s different,” the uncle said seriously.

Chu Yi's changes were enormous, beyond Chu Feng and Qian Liyan's comprehension.

When they got home and saw Chu Yi, neither of them recognized her as their biological daughter.

Chu Yi used to be a typical tomboy, often causing headaches for her family. But this time when she came home, Chu Yi was like a pampered young lady, undergoing a complete transformation in appearance, temperament, and inner qualities.

Chu Feng learned about his daughter's environment from Chu Yi: a luxury apartment, a top-tier high school, and tutors from renowned teachers...

And all of this is thanks to Chu Fang.

Without Chu Fang, Chu Yi might still be working in the electronics factory, and in the foreseeable future, he would be one of the factory workers tightening screws, or even before he reached adulthood, he would have been lured away by those young punks.

"Same." Chu Fang didn't want to hear these words and sounded very distant. It was only right for him to help Chu Yi. He looked around and asked, "By the way, where is Chu Yi?"

"Going off to play." The uncle opened his mouth, then seemed to want to say something, "I really..."

Chu's father interrupted his eldest uncle, who was about to say something: "Oh, eldest son, have some tea."

The uncle looked at the two of them and said, "Alright."
