One day, her best friend rushed over, holding her phone as if something major had happened: Zhen Tian, your man is on a matchmaking website!
Zhen Tian: ???
Another day, after attending ...
The car kept stopping and starting because there were so many parents accompanying their children to the exam. Whether it was a private car or a taxi, they all passed through the same section of road at the same time.
Lu Lin sat in the passenger seat playing games, while Lu Kai's work calls never stopped, handling work while driving. Lu Yiran sat in the back seat working on competition problems. Ji Yuzhi leaned back with his eyes closed, beads of sweat forming on his forehead and nose. The contrast between the two was striking.
"Why haven't we arrived yet?" The sound of failure rang out, and Lu Lin angrily ran his hand through his hair.
"Once we get past this intersection, there won't be any traffic jams." Lu Yiran took a moment to look up at the scenery outside the window.
The sky had darkened, and the lights of the traffic and the shops along the roadside illuminated the city.
"Ugh, school again tomorrow." Lu Lin felt a headache coming on just thinking about it: "My lost vacation... ah!"
"Shut up," Lu Kai said, glancing at Ji Yuzhi, whose eyes were closed in the rearview mirror. "Yuzhi is still resting."
Lu Lin glanced at it as well, then shut his mouth.
But after a while, she felt resentful: "Aren't you my uncle? Why do I feel like you treat Ji Yuzhi much better than you treat me? Was I adopted?"
Lu Kai ignored him.
Lu Yiran spoke up: "Maybe. Look at our family's genes, you're the only academic failure."
Lu Lin wanted to argue, but he was powerless to do so. He could only swallow his anger.
He's supposed to be a big shot who dominates the school, so how come he has so little status at home?
He felt wronged.
They arrived at the restaurant they had booked long ago, and Lu Kai finally took off his Bluetooth headset.
"You guys go in first, I'll go park the car."
“Okay!” Lu Lin had already taken off his school uniform jacket, draped it over his shoulder, and strode off the bus with a flourish.
"Yu Zhi?"
Lu Yiran put away his phone, thinking that Ji Yuzhi would wake up on his own, but he didn't expect that Ji Yuzhi was still with his eyes closed.
"Yuzhi?" He nudged Ji Yuzhi.
"Hmm." The boy's voice was even hoarseer as he struggled to open his eyes.
Lu Yiran touched his forehead: "It's alright, the fever has gone down. Let's get out of the car, we've arrived."
"Only one!"
Zhen Tian's car arrived a little later than Lu Kai's. As soon as she got out, she saw Ji Yuzhi. As soon as the car stopped, she jumped out and ran towards Ji Yuzhi.
"Zhizhi, how are you?"
The boy was no longer dressed in all black; he was now wearing a blue and white striped suit. Although Lu Kai was a bit more muscular, and the suit didn't quite fit Ji Yuzhi, the boy's charisma made it difficult to notice this oversight in his attire.
She hopped and skipped, trying to reach Ji Yuzhi's forehead, but Ji Yuzhi pushed her away.
"Don't get too close to me." Ji Yuzhi turned his head and coughed.
"He's fine, his fever has gone down. Let's go into the restaurant." Lu Yiran rubbed his sister's head.
Did you take your medicine?
Zhen Tian followed Ji Yuzhi eagerly.
"have eaten."
Zhen Tian looked at Lu Yiran again, and only felt relieved after seeing him nod.
"Then why do you still look like that?" Once they arrived at the reserved private room, Zhen Tian rushed to Ji Yuzhi's side and was about to sit down.
"Go sit over there," Ji Yuzhi stopped her.
"Why?" She always sat next to him.
"It will be contagious to you."
"I'm not afraid!"
"Go quickly, and listen to me." Ji Yuzhi coughed twice more.
"Go sit down with your third uncle and fourth brother. Your brothers came back for you, so go and spend more time with them." Lu Yiran coaxed Zhen Tian away.
"Yes, little sister, you haven't paid much attention to your fourth brother today." Zhen Hong pretended to be unhappy: "Your brother is so busy with training, but he still managed to squeeze in time to come back. Come here."
"We video chat all the time, don't we?" Zhen Tian pouted, but still obediently walked over.
After everyone was seated, Zhen's father said, "Congratulations to Tian Tian on successfully overcoming her tribulation. I propose a toast to everyone."
"What are you doing with the tea?" Lu Ti pinched Zhen's father.
Hehehe.
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
Zhen Tian beckoned over a waiter, who was chattering away.
"Sweetie, raise your glass," Lu Ti reminded her.
"Oh, cheers!" She raised her favorite juice, took a small sip, and glanced at Ji Yuzhi.
Ji Yuzhi caught her gaze, and although he still looked listless, he managed to force a smile for her.
"Hello, your food is served."
The waiter knocked on the door and expertly held up the menu: "This is ginger milk curd."
The restaurant and menu were chosen by his second brother, Zhen Yan. He shook his head: "We didn't order anything..."
“I’ve already counted it, mine…” Zhen Tian suddenly stood up and interrupted, “Just put it here.”
She pointed to the turntable: "Add extra ginger juice, right?"
"some."
"Okay, thank you." Zhen Tian turned the spinning wheel towards Ji Yuzhi: "Zhizhi, drink it quickly. You'll feel better after you finish drinking it."
All eyes in the private room were on Ji Yuzhi, some filled with envy, some with jealousy, and others with relief that their child could take care of others.
"Okay." Ji Yuzhi was completely unaffected by the gazes around him, and picked up the small bowl to eat bite by bite.
The gaze only lasts for a fleeting moment.
Lu Lin and Zhen Hong exchanged a jealous glance: "The older brothers aren't valued at all~"
Throughout the entire dinner, Zhen Tian kept putting food into small dishes and then using a lazy Susan to pass them to Ji Yuzhi. Ji Yuzhi accepted everything without hesitation, no matter how much Zhen Tian put on his plate.
The brothers watched with gritted teeth, but they couldn't say anything to a patient.
"Sweetie, do you want to go abroad for a trip?" Lu Kai asked. "After your exams, you can go abroad with your aunt and uncle to relax. Your third uncle will arrange it for you."
"Ah, okay." Zhen Tian glanced at Ji Yuzhi and nodded blankly.
"Okay, then go back and see where you want to go for fun."
Lu Kai works at a financial investment bank abroad and travels between various countries frequently. Planning a safe and enjoyable trip is a piece of cake for him.
"Um."
Zhen nodded.
After the dinner party ended, the uncles and brothers all went home by car. Zhen Tian stood at the door and said to Ji Yuzhi, "Go back and take a shower and then take your medicine."
"good."
"No, no." Zhen Tian was worried: "Send me a video, and I'll personally supervise you while you eat."
"good."
"Come in quickly and take a hot bath."
"Okay." The boy patted her head.
Back home, while Zhen Lei and Lu Ti were discussing where to go, Zhen Tian rushed into her room and quickly took a shower, afraid she'd miss Zhizhi's call if she took too long. She didn't even touch her beloved bathtub.
Not long after, Zhen Tian received a call from the boy across the street.
“Zhizhi, why didn’t you blow-dry your hair! This won’t do.” Zhen Tian scolded him seriously.
"I'll blow it right away." After taking a shower, Ji Yuzhi's voice wasn't so hoarse anymore.
"Uh-huh."
After seeing Ji Yuzhi blow-dry his hair and take his medicine, Zhen Tian urged him to go to bed.
After doing so many things, the little girl fell asleep sweetly with her phone in her hand.
Ji Yuzhi's eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes, staring blankly at the girl on his phone.
