After witnessing the "great achievements" of Lu Jiayang and others in the kitchen, Grandma Li still stayed behind and cooked dinner with Xiaobao.

She took the time to go to the bedroom and take a look at Lu Zixiao. Fortunately, the man had fallen asleep in a daze, so she didn't really turn into Li Ma.

Lu Jiaming was instructed by Lin Ze to change the hot water twice. When he finally finished and came out, he saw Lu Ziyi sitting in the yard, holding a book in a daze.

He paused, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked over quietly.

"Second brother," Lu Jiaming called out as he walked over to him, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm?" Lu Ziyi had obviously just come to his senses and straightened his book uncomfortably. "Ahem... I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just reading."

"Oh~" Lu Jiaming raised a smile with an ambiguous meaning, "My second brother is really a genius student. He can even recite it backwards."

Lu Ziyi: “?”

“…………”

Looking closely, I realized that the book was held upside down.

He closed his eyes, closed the book in a state of self-abandonment, threw it on the stone table next to him, and sighed.

"I've never seen you worried even though studying is so tiring, but today you seem completely off." Lu Jiaming paused and asked softly, "Are you thinking about Yang Feng?"

"……Um"

Lu Ziyi subconsciously clasped his hands on his thighs, and his answer was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"That's right," Lu Jiaming lowered his voice. "After Grandma Li said those words, your eyes started to wander."

"Don't think that others can't see your emotions just because you wear glasses. Second brother, you are usually very emotionally stable, but some of your emotions are clearly visible on your face."

Lu Ziyi smiled and said, "Isn't it the same for you? Whether you are happy or unhappy, angry or not, it's all on your face."

"Yeah, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it," Lu Jiaming shrugged. "Then where should I put my emotions if not on my face? On the wall? I'm not Mona Lisa."

Lu Ziyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Jiaming patted his shoulder and said, "What I mean is, since I can see it, you should stop pretending and tell me what's on your mind. Usually we come to you to cry and vent, so it's time for you to vent your emotions."

"It's not really emotional garbage," Lu Ziyi frowned slightly, "I just don't know what to do."

"Even if it's true, as Grandma Li said, that Yang Feng had other reasons for what he did in the past, but now, after so many years, there's no evidence to prove it, and there's no way to completely clear his name. Can we really still... trust him without any scruples?"

Lu Ziyi shook his head sadly. "I don't think so. The current stalemate is caused by the accumulation of obstacles one after another. If we can't clear them, they will always be there. How can we move forward?"

Lu Jiaming listened to him in silence. After the air was quiet for a few seconds, he spoke softly, "Second brother, I think you are a little too entangled."

"Things back then were a mess. It's not easy to unravel and straighten them out. Maybe it will be difficult for my whole life, but didn't Grandma Li say that people should look forward?"

"Those steps can't be moved for now, so just leave them there. We won't be walking backwards anyway, so we won't trip or fall, so why bother?"

Lu Ziyi turned his head and looked at him in surprise. He had the impression that he was the one who looked down on Yang Feng the most in the family. But now he was actually... speaking for Yang Feng?

The moment they looked at each other, Lu Jiaming knew what he wanted to say, so he lowered his head slightly and sighed: "I'm not speaking for that person. To be honest, I don't care about what Yang Feng does, but you are my brother, and I don't want to see you so entangled."

"I discussed this with Third Brother and Xiaobao a few days ago. Everyone knows that Yang Feng has always wanted to see you, but he has never taken any action. No one knows what he means."

"Hmm," Lu Ziyi said softly, "So what was the result of your discussion?"

"Actually... at the beginning we were all quite against you and Yang Feng having any contact." Lu Jiaming scratched his head, "But this time I've figured it out. Second brother, you can do whatever you want, because we are no longer the children we used to be. If he dares to bully you, I will beat him back."

Lu Ziyi looked at him tenderly with a smile on his lips.

"Let me be frank," Lu Jiaming said with a sigh, "If you two can put aside your differences and become good friends again, then those kids he bullied before, if their injuries weren't serious, we can forgive them if they're a little bit guilty. But Yang Feng must explain clearly what happened when you were injured, otherwise we won't let him go."

"I see." Lu Ziyi raised his hand and touched the top of his head, rubbing it gently, "Thank you, Jiaming."

"Don't touch my head, second brother, I'm not Xiaobao," Lu Jiaming muttered, "Patting my head won't make me grow taller."

Lu Ziyi smiled and touched it a few more times: "It's okay, if it doesn't grow, then it doesn't grow. It's quite high now."

"That won't work. I need to grow to at least 188cm tall." Lu Jiaming chuckled, "I want to marry a beautiful wife who looks like a petite bird in the future."

"How old are you and you're already thinking about these things? You can't be sure about what will happen in the future."

Lu Ziyi patted his back, looked at Xiaobao's busy figure coming in and out, and said, "Let's go and help. It's time for dinner."

Although tonight's meal is not particularly sumptuous, it is still delicious.

Grandma Li smiled with satisfaction and said, "You little boys are so lucky. I, an old lady, admire Xiaobao's cooking skills. It smells so good."

"That was all thanks to Grandma Li's help." Xiao Baosheng placed the first bowl of porridge in front of her. "Grandma Li, please eat it. Bring some back for Grandpa Li so he can have a taste too."
