Children are children; the surprises they experience are actually things they like.

As soon as the car stopped, the eight children surrounded it.

The Mu family is very lively now, with a large and prosperous population, which makes many elderly people and children in the compound envious.

Mu Leyu ran the fastest, rushing into my arms. I could barely carry this little girl anymore.

Walking at the back were Xu Zehong and Mu Beichen. These two were quite composed, somewhat like Xun Shichou when he was young, with an air of maturity beyond their years.

Mu Leyu: "Uncle, I missed you so much. This is the chocolate I saved for you. My mom doesn't let me eat too much, so this is the chocolate I saved up every day for you."

Like Mu Jingshu, Mu Leyu also loves chocolate.

If this little girl left me some chocolate, it seems I really have a lot of influence.

Xiao Qi was quick too, pulling at my trouser leg. I had to use one hand to protect my pants, otherwise this kid might have pulled them down.

Xiaoqi: "Brother, is flying on an airplane fun?"

"It's fun! Of course it's fun! The white clouds feel like they're right next to you, don't you think?"

Xiaoqi said enviously, "I want to eat it."

Mu Youli said irritably, "Little brat, all you think about is food."

Mu Zhiyu: "I really want to fly on an airplane! It must feel amazing to fly in the sky."

Yi Yi: "I really want to sit too."

The older sister chuckled and patted the children's heads, saying, "If we have time during summer and winter vacations, we can all take a plane and go on trips."

The children exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"

I said irritably, "When has my sister ever lied to you?"

The children were jumping, skipping, and laughing.

University life is quite interesting. The studies are not as intense as in high school, but for someone like me who has plans and goals, there is no free time. I spend most of my free time in the library.

Lately, I don't know why, I keep having nightmares. The images are bloody, and when I have nightmares, I can't sleep all night.

My older sister was very worried and would come to the school every few days to take my pulse.

I've taken a lot of calming medication. My sister doesn't allow me to push myself too hard; she says if I ruin my health, everything else is meaningless.

I was completely exhausted after the midterm exams. My sister and Xun Shichou came to pick me up. After returning to the compound, Xun Shichou gave me my first psychological test.

This guy has been studying for half a year and seems quite serious about it.

My sister told me to follow Xun Shichou's instructions.

Strangely enough, after Xun Shichou's antics, I slept exceptionally well that night, the first time I'd slept so soundly in a long time.

I suspect there must be something wrong with my mental state, otherwise Xun Shichou's psychotherapy wouldn't have been so effective.

When I woke up the next day, I ran into my brother-in-law who was going to do his morning exercise.

"How was it? Did you sleep well last night?" my brother-in-law asked.

"I slept soundly until dawn. I haven't slept this well in a long time."

"Don't put yourself under so much pressure. If you're tired, ask Xiao Chou to help you calm down. That kid is pretty good."

Actually, I don't care. He just got lucky yesterday. I've been working so hard, so I can sleep well now that I'm back in a comfortable environment.

After breakfast, I went back to school. My goal is to follow in my sister and brother-in-law's footsteps, graduate early, apply for a government-funded overseas study program, and then go abroad to learn more advanced technologies so that I can return and dedicate myself to the country's economic development.

Whenever I feel a little slack, I always feel like someone is cheering me on from the shadows. Sometimes I even think I'm a bit obsessed. But after visiting the economic development zone, I feel that my plan is imperative.

The midterm results are out, and they're pretty good; I ranked third in the department.

The moment I received my grades, my head suddenly started to ache. For some reason, I saw two little boys sitting in the yard doing their homework. I knew that yard was the one in my hometown, but who were these boys?

I really wanted to see his face clearly, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see it.

who is he?

How come I don't remember such a person?

Judging from their intimate manner, they must be very close friends.

Could it be Xu Zeyu?

No, I'm certain this person isn't Xu Zeyu.

My head was throbbing, probably because I was trying too hard to see the person's face clearly. Suddenly everything went black, and then I knew nothing more.

When I woke up, I was already in the hospital, and my sister and aunt were looking at me with great concern.

Xun Shichou was also there.

My sister held my hand and comforted me, saying, "It's nothing serious, you've just been overthinking. Don't study so hard in the future. If we can't get a government-funded scholarship for studying abroad, we'll just pay for it ourselves. I have the money."

I laughed. Why is my sister still treating me like a child? Maybe in her eyes I'll always be a child?

Xun Shichou: "Can you tell me about what happened before you fainted?"

"Suddenly I had a terrible headache, and then I saw my old family home in my mind. I saw myself doing homework with a boy about my age. He was explaining the problems I couldn't solve to me. I don't remember who he was. I tried to see his face clearly, but I strained too much and fainted."

The aunt glanced cautiously at her silent older sister.

Xun Shichou also looked at his sister, as if waiting for her decision.

Judging from their expressions, this person must exist. Could it be that I really forgot someone?

Is it really that serious?

I'm quite confident in my memory.

I looked at my sister in disbelief.

My sister looked up at me intently, as if she were making a big decision.

Xun Shichou patted his sister's shoulder and whispered, "Sister, that day will come eventually. His current condition is already a sign that his memory is about to return. We might as well help him and then do some psychological counseling."

I've never seen my sister so hesitant before. It seems I really am sick, and it must be related to that boy.

The older sister sighed and pulled Xun Shichou out of the ward.

I looked at my aunt and asked directly, "Auntie, am I sick?"

The aunt glanced nervously at the ward door and said awkwardly, "Why would you think that?"

"Auntie, I'm not stupid. I was hospitalized once during summer vacation. I only remember that I just twisted my ankle, but after I was discharged, I always felt that everyone was being very careful around me. Auntie, is my illness related to that boy?"

My aunt rubbed her hands together, gave me an awkward smile, and kept glancing at the ward door, as if she didn't know what to do.

"Auntie, just tell me the truth. It's okay, I can handle it."

Aunt: "Third brother, don't rush. Let's talk about it after your sister comes in. I don't know the situation very well either."

I stopped troubling my aunt and looked toward the ward door, hoping my sister could give me an answer.
