"Hmph, if we hadn't come, you would have turned this hospital upside down!" Wang Yue plopped down on Jiang Yang's bed and took out the bread they had bought on the way from the bag.

Jiang Yang was still a little dazed. He picked up the bread, glanced at it, and then looked at Chen Yu by the bedside. "You... why are you here too?"

"What, you're not welcoming me?"

Chen Yu sat down on the other side of the bed, and Jiang Yang's feet were immediately squeezed together.

That's not what I meant...

Jiang Yang didn't know what to say, so he simply picked up the bread and started eating. Listening to Chen Yu and Wang Yue's conversation, he suddenly felt like he was back in school. The three of them were like that too. Jiang Yang listened quietly to their conversation, because he couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he could only listen from the side.

He started laughing as he ate, and Chen Yu and Wang Yue suddenly turned around and looked at him. "What are you laughing at?" Wang Yue asked him with a hint of disgust.

"It's nothing, I just found it funny."

Chen Yu and Wang Yue shook their heads speechlessly, then complained again about Jiang Yang being mentally ill, before continuing their conversation.

The three of them stayed together until the afternoon. Chen Yu checked the time and it was time to go back for lunch. Before leaving, she warned Jiang Yang not to lose his temper with his parents, and Jiang Yang solemnly agreed.

Chen Yu and Wang Yue then left with peace of mind, and Wang Yue pulled the doorknob to close the door.

"Are you...are you coming tomorrow?"

Jiang Yang's voice made Wang Yue stop what she was doing. She looked at Jiang Yang, whose face was slightly red, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Come on, why are you afraid we won't come?" Chen Yu behind her chimed in, and Wang Yue laughed even louder.

His face visibly flushed red. "Go back now!"

Wang Yue closed the door, took Chen Yu's hand, and left the hospital.

"Ugh, school starts again soon," Wang Yue complained helplessly.

"There are still more than ten days left, isn't that enough time for you to play?"

"I feel like I haven't done anything."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement. She needed to think carefully about what had happened in the past few days, as she felt as if she had changed something.

When they reached the fork in the road, Chen Yu and Wang Yue chatted for a few minutes, just like they did back in school, before going their separate ways.

When Chen Yu returned home, she saw Chen Kang sitting on the sofa. The two seemed to be talking about something. Chen Kang's face was full of smiles, and even his stern face had a faint smile on it.

"Yu Yu's back! Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Li Ziyun poked her head out from the kitchen.

Chen Kang glanced at Chen Yu indifferently, a gesture that made Chen Yu feel something was off. Chen Kang wasn't usually like this. She felt a sense of unease, but she didn't bother to guess and simply put some things into the bathroom.

She quickly washed her hands and sat down at the dining table.

Chen Kang helped Shen Yan sit down. He sat opposite Chen Yu with a serious expression. They had only been eating for a short while when Chen Kang began to speak.

"Chen Yu, you are not allowed to play with Jiang Yang and Wang Yue from now on."

"Why?"

"Why? This kind of bad kid will only lead you astray!"

Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless. For a moment, she didn't know how to refute Chen Kang. She had only just managed to put aside her grudges and make up, and now he was telling her not to play with them anymore. It would have been better if he had said that sooner.

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't speak, Chen Kang was a little annoyed. When did this child learn to be silent?

"Did you hear me?"

Chen Kang raised his voice again, but Chen Yu continued eating her rice without responding. In response to her indifference, Chen Kang slammed his hand on the table with a loud thud.

"Chen Yu! I'm talking to you!"

"What are you doing? Why are you talking about these things while we're eating?"

Li Ziyun pulled Chen Kang to sit down and told him to shut up and eat. Chen Yu didn't say a word from beginning to end. After finishing his meal, he ran upstairs and locked the door to his room.

Chen Kang's face was as black as if he had eaten shit. He stood at Chen Yu's door and knocked, "Chen Yu, what happened to you? Open the door right now."

Chen Yan sat on the sofa downstairs, listening to Chen Kang knocking on Chen Yu's door again and again, but Chen Yu wouldn't open it or say a word.

Chen Kang finally lost his patience. He went into the room, took out the key to Chen Yu's room, and aggressively opened her door.

Chen Yu frowned angrily as she looked at the suddenly opened door.

"You're the one who wouldn't open the door!" Chen Kang angrily threw down the key.

Downstairs, Shen Yan sensed something was wrong. He tried hard to sit up, but then he thought, if Chen Yu had been beaten, wouldn't that be just what he wanted? Why was he worried about Chen Yu?

While Shen Yan was still wondering what was going on, a loud slap came from upstairs, followed by Chen Yu's cursing.

There was a thumping sound coming from the stairs. Shen Yan knew without a doubt that it was Chen Yu. She would make a lot of noise when she came down the stairs when she was angry.

Li Ziyun then heard the sound. She looked at Chen Yu, whose face was covered in tears and had faint red handprints on her face. She quickly wiped her hands clean. "Yu Yu, what happened? Did Daddy hit you?"

Chen Yu stubbornly turned her face away. Originally, she didn't intend to pay attention to Chen Kang's words and thought that whatever he said was fine.

Chen Kang chased after him downstairs, "Look at you now! Not only did you bully your own brother, but you were also kidnapped by thugs. Do you even know how pathetic you look?"

Even Li Ziyun couldn't stand Chen Kang's words anymore. "This isn't something a child can decide. Why are you saying such hurtful things?"

"I spoke harshly? If we don't discipline her, even more outrageous things will happen in the future."
