“Sigh—” Ning Hao sighed. “Do you know what your grandfather’s family does? They’re a wealthy family. Even when they die, they still have to find someone to calculate where it would be appropriate to bury them.”

So, after seeing it so many times, you get used to it. However, this uncle's situation has nothing to do with faith; it's purely for Zhou Tian's sake. Look at how the little girl does this year after year—how can her parents feel good about it?"

Zhou Tianyu lit a cigarette and handed one to Ning Hao. The two brothers smoked and talked about the matter.

"Brother, to be honest, I'd rather believe it exists. If that's true, then my mom and grandma are watching me grow up somewhere."

Zhou Tianyu patted his cousin on the shoulder and said, "Don't think so much. Those hardships are over. From now on, you'll have a happy and peaceful life. You're not all alone. You still have us."

Are your grandparents living alone now? Is there no one to take care of them?

Speaking of this, Ning Hao sighed deeply, "Who can we rely on? My uncle and his wife are shrewd. They only care about the old man and woman's money and things, and they don't care about anything else."

My aunt is a bit silly; she clings to such a ridiculous idea, thinking it's for the children's good. As a result, I don't think their children are any better.

They are all incredibly selfish. I can't even count on my aunt, let alone my grandparents.

My father, needless to say, I don't know how the Ning family's ancestral graves were buried, and how come none of the children in the family are any of them easy to deal with.

I've thought it all out. Once I graduate and am old enough to bring my family, I'll bring my grandparents with me. They raised me when I was little, and I'll take care of them in their old age.

Zhou Tianyu felt that his cousin had really had a tough time, and compared to Ning Hao, he and his siblings were much happier.

But then he thought of Jiang Qiao: "You're all over the country, what about Jiang Qiao? Aren't you afraid that as time goes on, the gap between you two will widen?"

Actually, he had an even deeper worry: his cousin, anyone with eyes could see, was wholeheartedly in love with Jiang Qiao.

But in his opinion, that girl was still young and immature. Moreover, she had been living in a small county town and had not seen much of the world. Even if she had some knowledge, she was still vulnerable to being coveted by men as she grew up. If she had men around her, would she be able to resist the temptation?

Ning Hao exhaled a smoke ring. "Brother, you don't understand Jiang Qiao. Some feelings are about wanting to be together every day, but it's different for us. Even though we're far apart, that person's image will always be in my heart—"

Zhou Tianyu was amused by Ning Hao's words: "You kid, you're playing with words with me now. Let me tell you, I'm giving you a heads-up. We soldiers are destined not to be like normal people, so you have to be prepared."

As they were talking, Zhou Baorui and his wife came out with their daughter. However, to Zhou Tianyu's astonishment, his little sister was completely covered by Zhou Baorui's coat, and his face was not visible at all.

Zhou Baorui carried his daughter out like that.

"This, this—"

"Forget about this and that, let's hurry back—"

"Dad, how about I carry it?"

Zhou Baorui nodded, but without letting his daughter's feet touch the ground, the two of them handed Zhou Tian over in mid-air.

"Go back quickly—"

Ning Hao quickly supported her from behind. After they took the bus home, Zhou Tian never showed up again.

Several people sat in the living room, and Zhou Tianyu eagerly inquired about his younger sister's treatment.

"Whether it's good or bad, we'll see the results tomorrow. Just wait and see. Whether it's true or not, one more night won't matter. I know you don't believe me. To be honest, I'm actually half-believing and half-doubting myself. But what they say is true."

So, the one who's really impressive is Jiang Qiao. That little girl has a sharp eye; she noticed something was wrong right away.

"Alright, everyone hurry up and wash up and go back to your rooms to sleep. Ning Hao, you'll share a room with your older brother."

Zhou Baorui clearly didn't want to say much; the other party had already instructed him not to talk too much, so he could only wait for the result.

However, Jinglan was quite interested in the person who treated her daughter's illness.

"Old Zhou, how come this person is so capable? He can tell what's going on just by looking at the child. He's practically a fortune teller!"

Zhou Baorui sighed and gave a bitter smile. "What kind of half-immortal is he? He's skilled in magic. There are some things we can't see, but he can. I helped him before. Otherwise, if you just show up at his door, he won't even see you."

Okay, stop thinking so much. The child is better, that's what matters most. Go wash up and go to bed, I'm tired too—"

This day was like a battle. He rushed back to reunite with his nephew, and then immediately went to pick up the child to see a doctor. All that running around was thanks to his good health; otherwise, he probably would have been exhausted. Time waits for no one.

Zhou Tianyu was worried. This was his only sister, and she wasn't someone to practice on. The girl hadn't said a word the whole way. Was she asleep or something? He didn't want his parents to be fooled while they were anxious to get treatment for her. She was their only daughter, and he couldn't afford for anything to happen to her.

Ning Hao gave a wry smile, then shook his head. "Hey, brother, you seem so reserved and composed. Why are you so impatient now? Calm down, we'll know what's going on tomorrow morning."

Go to sleep now, I have to go back tomorrow too. You might as well think about when you're going to come see me.

Zhou Tianyu ruffled Ning Hao's short hair. "What are you looking at? Let's write a letter. I'm busy too. I don't usually have holidays. It's so far away. You can come visit me when you have time."

Ning Hao closed his eyes and said, "Go to sleep, go to sleep—"

The next day, the two brothers went out for exercise early in the morning. When they came back, they saw Zhou Tian standing prettily in the yard, and her complexion was much better than before.

"Good morning, brother, cousin!"

Zhou Tianyu looked his younger sister up and down in surprise. "How are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

This was the first time Xiao Mei had ever gotten up so early, which surprised Zhou Tianyu. Normally, she wouldn't get up until it was time for school, so why was the sun rising in the west today?

Zhou Tian smiled sweetly, "Brother, I feel great, my whole body is relaxed, and I don't feel that dizzy feeling I had before at all."

Ning Hao walked over and said, "Cousin, congratulations! You've finally recovered. With proper care, you'll be just like a normal person again."

Zhou Baorui came out of the study. "Look, isn't my daughter much better? You brat, you didn't believe me then, but now you do, right?"

Zhou Tianyu chuckled twice, a rare occurrence. "Dad, I'm just saying that seeing is believing. My sister is better, that's wonderful. But this person is really amazing. In just one night, this person's spirits have recovered so well."

But little sister, you need to exercise. With your physique, you'll collapse at the slightest breeze; that won't do."

Jinglan brought over the food and said, "Your sister is being supervised by us, so there's no need to rush. Let her get used to it first. They said she can start exercising in a while. After all, her body is still weak, so it only looks good on the surface."

You two go wash up, let's eat—"
