"Huibo and Niannian just arrived and haven't had a proper chance to explore yet. Tomorrow's the weekend, I'll take you to the amusement park."

Wow, really?

"Really, our whole family will go tomorrow."

"Great, haha."

Chen Ya-wen was overjoyed and, looking at Chen Hui-bo who was still clueless, asked him with a show of bravado.

Have you ever ridden a roller coaster? Have you ever ridden a pirate ship?

"No... what is that?"

"I knew you wouldn't understand, but it's just a really fun thing."

"Wenwen, how can you talk to your brother like that?" Zhang Xinyue scolded with a smile. "We'll know everything when we go there tomorrow."

Chen Niannian really misses the Beijing Amusement Park. Before her rebirth, she had passed by it once. At that time, there were big "demolition" signs on the wall. She took a picture in front of the closed door with a lot of emotion.

At that moment, her childlike heart was rekindled, and she suddenly wanted to go back and see the joy that she had never truly experienced back then.

"Okay, I'm going to do my homework now. I can play after I finish my homework." Chen Niannian, looking like a good student, turned around and went upstairs to study.

"You two go do your homework too, and then you can have fun tomorrow."

"Dad, I want to watch cartoons."

Chen Ya-wen clung to Chen Bang-rui's arm. Chen Hui-bo also looked at him with expectant eyes.

"Look how hard your sister is working. Go do your homework, or you won't be going tomorrow."

Chen Bangrui remained unmoved, and the brother and sister had no choice but to go upstairs to do their homework.

As Chen Huibo passed by Chen Niannian's room, he angrily kicked her door, only to find that it was not closed, but just ajar.

Chen Huibo used too much force with his foot and couldn't pull it back. As a result, his head hit the ground hard first, and then he fell on all fours in a doggy-style position.

"Hahahaha..." Chen Yawen couldn't help but laugh, and Chen Niannian turned her head and smiled as well.

"Fang Niannian, you're asking for it!" Chen Huibo was so angry that he even mispronounced her name. He jumped up from the ground and pounced on her.

With a loud "smack," Chen Ya-wen's eyes widened.

When Chen Niannian saw Chen Huibo rushing over, she knew something was wrong. It was too late to dodge, and she took a slap right across the face. Her vision blurred and her ears rang.

It took her a while to come to her senses. When she saw Chen Huibo looking at her smugly, Chen Niannian was furious. "If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think I'm easy to bully!"

He turned around, grabbed the desk lamp from the table, rushed over quickly, jumped up, and smashed it hard on Chen Huibo's head.

"Ahhh..." Chen Huibo and Chen Yawen's screams almost ripped the roof off.

Hurried footsteps came from the stairs. Chen Bangrui and Zhang Xinyue were startled by the scream and immediately rushed over.

As soon as I got upstairs, I was stunned by what I saw. Chen Niannian was standing in the doorway, holding a broken lamp stand in her hand. Chen Huibo was lying on the ground, clutching his head and groaning in pain. Chen Yawen was standing far away, staring blankly.

"Chen Niannian, what are you doing!" Chen Bangrui roared and slapped her again. This time, the slap was forceful, and Chen Niannian fell to the ground.

"Hehe..." Chen Niannian laughed angrily, her hand was cut by a shard of glass from a lamp bulb on the ground, and her hand was covered in blood.

Seeing his daughter like this, Chen Bangrui felt a slight pang of regret. However, when he saw Chen Huibo lying on the ground crying in pain, he became furious again.

"How could you be so cruel to your own brother? He's so young, yet so vicious."

"Aren't you going to ask what happened? He hit me first!"

"If he hits you first, does that mean you have to hit back? If it's wrong for him to hit someone, does that mean you should follow suit? He's the younger brother, can't you, as the older sister, let him have his way?"

"If your heart is biased, everything you do will be biased," Chen Niannian thought to herself, a thousand curses running through her mind. She couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with this father who was clearly biased towards his son.

Yes, she shouldn't have had any expectations in the first place. These past few days of peace and quiet—did she develop unrealistic fantasies about this cheapskate father? Wake up! You have to rely on yourself for everything. She absolutely cannot live a pathetic life anymore.

"Huibo, are you alright?" Zhang Xinyue helped Chen Huibo up. "Ouch, you've got a bump on your head."

Seeing everyone staring at him, Chen Huibo immediately said in a weak voice, "My head hurts so much, I feel so bad, am I going to die? Dad, I don't want to die, I haven't been able to take care of you yet."

His acting skills are truly remarkable; he learned them meticulously from his own mother.

Hearing his beloved son speak like that, Chen Bangrui felt a pang of heartache. The slight regret he had felt for hitting his daughter had vanished. He quickly comforted his son with the gentlest of words, "Don't talk nonsense, child. Don't be afraid. Come on, let your mother put some ointment on it for you. You'll feel better in a bit."

"I want a Coke." Chen Huibo never missed an opportunity to bargain.

"Okay, let's drink as many bottles as you want. Wenwen, what are you standing there for? Come on."

Zhang Xinyue comforted Chen Huibo and led him towards the stairs. When they reached the corner of the stairs, Chen Huibo turned around, gave Chen Niannian a victorious smile, and then turned back to Zhang Xinyue, groaning as he helped her down the stairs.

"You're not going anywhere tomorrow. Stay home and reflect on your actions."

After coldly uttering those words, Chen Bangrui immediately went to check on his son's injuries.

Chen Niannian struggled to her feet, feeling dizzy and almost falling again. It took her a while to recover. She then went to the bathroom to clean her wounds, lay down on the bed, and began to think about things from her past life. Soon she fell asleep.

When I came to my senses, it was already the next morning. When I opened the door, the floor had already been cleaned up.

The house was quiet; the whole family must have gone to the amusement park. I slowly walked down the stairs, holding onto the handrail.

"Oh dear, why is my face so swollen?!"

Aunt Liu was cleaning when she looked up and saw Chen Niannian, and she was immediately stunned.

"fine."

"Oh, I'll go get you a hot towel to put on it."

"No need, do you have ice?" Chen Niannian has extensive experience in treating sprains and bruises, applying heat 24 hours before and cold 24 hours after.

Aunt Liu hurriedly went to the refrigerator to get ice cubes. Back then, refrigerators were a rarity. Only families with retired cadres would have one.

"call………"

"Good boy, bear with it, it won't hurt in a bit. Sigh, that was too harsh."

"Aunt Liu, do you have any alcohol? My hand is injured too."

Chen Niannian reached out her hand, and Aunt Liu exclaimed again, "Poor child!"

After Aunt Liu finished bandaging her wound while wiping away her tears, Chen Niannian gave her a big hug and said with a smile, "Aunt Liu, you are so good to me."

"There's porridge in the kitchen. Have some to tide you over. Aunt Liu will cook you something delicious for lunch to help you recover."
