Shen Yan followed Chen Yu back to her room before returning to his own.

He clipped the flashlight to the bookshelf, shone it on his desk, and began to do his summer homework.

Chen Yu went back to her room to find her phone. When she turned it on, she found that her father and mother had both called her and sent several messages. They were saying that there would be a power outage at home for two days, asking if Chen Yu would be okay with it, and asking if she wanted to go to her uncle Chen Le's farm.

Her eyes lit up. Her uncle, Chen Le, was a very fun person. Whenever Chen Yu had a holiday, she would clamor to go and play with him. Shen Yan would always come along. Chen Le would take them horseback riding and feeding all kinds of small animals.

Dead memories begin to attack.

The summer before last.

As soon as Chen Yu arrived at Chen Le's farm, she ran off to play with his sheepdog, Xiao Yuan, leaving Shen Yan behind to fetch his luggage.

Chen Le sighed as he watched Chen Yu run away. "Xiao Shen, Uncle will carry it for you. You can go play too."

Shen Yan held onto his suitcase tightly, insisting on taking it in himself. Shen Yan's room was next to Chen Yu's. Chen Yu had caused a scene once before, and it was only after Chen Kang lost his temper that the matter was resolved.

He sat by the doorway with a book in his hand, where the light was better.

The sounds of Chen Yu and Xiao Yuan playing came upstairs, which annoyed Shen Yan. He really hated Chen Yu's voice, and he couldn't explain why, but he just found it very grating and a kind of noise. However, Chen Yu downstairs was obviously doing it on purpose. She knew that Shen Yan would go upstairs to read, so she deliberately shouted so loudly, since Shen Yan didn't have money to buy earplugs anyway.

evening.

Tired from playing, Chen Yu sat on the sofa drinking water, while Chen Le cooked in the kitchen. He still liked it when Shen Yan and Chen Yu came to play, as it provided free labor. He said he was showing them around, but in reality, he just wanted the two child laborers to work.

"Here you are! Chen Yu! Shen Yan! Come and eat!"

Upstairs, Shen Yan rubbed his sore eyes, turned off his desk lamp, and went downstairs. Chen Yu immediately ran to the dining table, randomly picked a seat, and Shen Yan quickly followed. He decisively chose the seat furthest away from Chen Yu, because if he sat closer, Chen Yu would scold him again.

"Uncle, this turkey is so delicious!"

"Eat more if you like it, Shen Yan, you eat more too." Chen Le watched the two eat with a smile, thinking, "Eat as much as you can so you'll have the energy to help me with chores tomorrow."

After finishing her meal, Chen Yu sat by the door looking at the moon. Suddenly, she thought of something fun. While Chen Le went upstairs to take a shower, she took a stack of grass and went to find Chen Yan. "Hey, come with me to feed the horses?"

Shen Yan looked at Chen Yu with a headache, wondering why he was feeding the horses in the middle of the night. "Let's go tomorrow, it's too late now."
