Du Guixiang grabbed Li Xiyue and ran to her brother's side, "Brother, what brings you here! We're here, let's go! Which restaurant should we eat at? We want shredded pork with garlic sauce, I've been wanting to eat this dish for so long!"

Du Jingshan reached out and flicked his younger sister's nose, saying, "You little glutton! You're always thinking about eating this and that. With such a big appetite, which man will be able to support you in the future?"

Du Guixiang made a face at her brother, "Why would I get married? Nobody can support me. I'll just stay at my parents' house and not leave! Brother, you'll support me!"

Du Jingshan gave a helpless wry smile, patted Du Guixiang's head and said, "Dream on! You still want to stay at home and have your brother support you for the rest of your life? Get married as soon as you graduate!"

Du Guixiang pouted and said, "Brother, you don't love me anymore! Humph, I'm going home to tell Mom that you're going to marry me off!"

Du Jingshan said, "Mom will definitely praise me for being good at handling things! Mom's biggest worry right now is that you won't get married and will become an old maid at home!"

Du Guixiang panicked, "Who's an old maid? Who's an old maid?!"

She reached out and scratched her brother's neck. Her brother had a weakness: he was most afraid of being scratched on the neck. If he was scratched, his whole body would itch!

When Du Jingshan saw his sister's outstretched hand, he hurriedly ran forward, but Du Guixiang was not about to let go and chased after him.

Li Xiyue looked at Du Guixiang and Du Jingshan with envy. It was a pity that she had never grown up with her mother. Not to mention the love of a brother, she didn't even have anyone who cared about her!

It wasn't until she was reborn and returned to her mother's side that someone truly cared for and loved her!

She followed behind Du Guixiang, truly envying Du Guixiang for being able to live a carefree life in such a family since childhood.

Mi Bao said in the space, "You don't need to envy her, you are a baby who is loved by others now!"

Even if no one in the world loves you, I'll still spoil you rotten and make you my precious little princess!

Li Xiyue's lips curved into an uncontrollable smile. Even though Mi Bao sometimes makes mistakes, Mi Bao's mouth really makes people unable to get angry!

She said, "It's a good thing you're just a strategist. If you were a boy, who knows how many young girls you would have ruined!"

Honey snorted, "Why is it me who's ruining the girls? It's not the girls who're ruining me!"

A handsome guy like me, so dashing and irresistible, should be the kind of guy young girls are eager to seduce!

Li Xiyue secretly rolled her eyes, wondering where her system got its confidence from.

In the late 1970s, the streets were filled with the sounds of bicycle bells and the chatter of aunties and grandmas.

Time moved slowly in this era; the wind was gentle, the sun shone brightly, and the carriages and horses were not in a hurry. Everything was peaceful, like a nostalgic old photograph...

Li Xiyue, Du Jingshan, and Du Guixiang arrived at a Russian-style Western restaurant.

This Western restaurant was originally built after the liberation, but it was closed for a period of time for some reason. Now it has reopened.

Du Guixiang's eyes lit up. She had wanted to eat at this Russian restaurant for a long time, but her mother firmly disagreed, saying it was too expensive!

This place is generally for receiving foreign guests; very few ordinary people in the capital can afford to spend money here.

The lobby was filled with square tables covered with green and white checkered tablecloths, and several tables were already occupied.

Du Guixiang chose a table near the window. "Yue'er, let's sit here! We can see the scenery outside."

Li Xiyue sat down and turned to look at the hurried pedestrians on the street. In her mind, she thought of the great development of the motherland in the late 1980s.

At that time, the clothes people wore on the streets were no longer just black or gray.

Du Jingshan handed the menu to Li Xiyue and said, "Order whatever you like."

Li Xiyue glanced casually at the menu and said, "I don't know how to order, I've never tried any of these before."

Du Guixiang leaned closer to Li Xiyue and said, "Let me order for you! Brother, let's get three servings of braised beef in a pot, Russian-style sour fish, creamed mixed vegetables, borscht, bread, salad, and three servings of ice cream too!"

The waiter standing next to the table skillfully noted down the dishes Du Guixiang ordered.

Du Jingshan's brow furrowed slightly. His younger sister was good in every way, except she was too impulsive. He had originally wanted Li Xiyue to order the food...

Soon the waiter brought out all the dishes and placed plates and cutlery in front of each person.

Just as Li Xiyue was about to reach for the knife and fork, she withdrew her hand the instant her fingertips touched them…

She turned to Du Guixiang and asked, "How do you use this thing? Aren't there chopsticks?"

Du Guixiang said, "You can't use chopsticks here. This is a Western restaurant. If you don't know how to use a knife and fork, I'll teach you!"

Du Jingshan's lips pressed into a thin line. He had clearly seen Li Xiyue reach for a knife and fork just now...

Is it just a coincidence?

After we finished our meal, it was already dark and the sky was full of little stars.

Du Jingshan escorted the two girls back to school. As a teacher, he could go home instead of living at the school.

Li Xiyue said to Du Guixiang, "Guixiang, you go back to the dormitory first. I want to go home and see my mother."

Du Guixiang said, "You want to go home? Then let my brother take you. It's getting dark, it's not safe for a girl like you to walk alone on the street!"

Li Xiyue's head was throbbing with worry. If Du Jingshan followed her, how could she use the spatial passage to find Mu Cangnan?

She quickly said, "No need, I can walk by myself. Let Teacher Du go back to school; she must have a lot of students' homework to grade."

Du Jingshan said, "It's getting dark, and it's not safe for a girl to walk alone on the street. I'll take you home."

I graded quite a few assignments during the day, and there aren't many left.

Li Xiyue cursed in the space, "Can't you be less diligent? You're grading homework during the day?!"

Mi Bao said in the space, "Should I give him a few acupuncture needles and let him sleep on the side of the road, or give him a lightning bolt! Like striking Granny Zhang, just crack!"

Li Xiyue said, "Wait a bit, until Du Guixiang leaves!"

Du Guixiang waved to Li Xiyue and Du Jingshan, and then skipped and hopped towards the school gate.

Li Xiyue and Du Jingshan walked into the fork in the road. They followed this road and made two more turns before arriving at the Li family's house.

Her X-ray vision pierced through the alley walls, observing passersby, searching for an opportunity when no one was around to deal with Du Jingshan.

Du Jingshan said quietly, "What are you thinking about? Thinking about Mu Cangnan?"

Li Xiyue subconsciously hummed in agreement, "Mmm..."

The next moment, she denied it warily, "What Mu Cangnan? I'm not familiar with him."

Du Jingshan said, "Aren't you familiar with him? You went to the school clinic to see Li Yin that night, right?"

Li Yin wasn't lying. You said Li Yin has four lives on your hands..."
