During these eight years, everyone in the Gu family has changed a lot.

Brother Gu has now become a household name, active in film, television and music. In private, he is also a great writer. Of course, he writes in secret, and no one knows about it except his family.

Second Brother Gu joined the army and was gone for eight years. During these eight years, Shen Yizhi could count the number of times she saw him on two hands, but every month she would write him a letter on behalf of the whole family and send him many homemade foods.

Gu Xueting would write back to her if he had time. His letters were always short. After all, the missions in the army could not be disclosed to the outside world. The rest was just the monotonous life and training, which could be finished in just a few words.

But he would give feedback after receiving the food from her.

According to Shen Yizhi's instructions, after receiving the food, he would take out a portion to share with his teammates. Needless to say, the food made by Shen Yizhi tasted great, and everyone who had eaten it praised it.

Every time, his teammates paid more attention to the letters from home than he did, and looked forward to the package that Shen Yizhi would send along with the letters.

In order to follow in his footsteps, Mei Yang enrolled in journalism, became a military reporter, and often visited his base.

Gu Tianxing became a doctor and led a very regular life, going between home and the hospital. He seldom took the initiative to interact with people and spent his free time tinkering with his computer in his room.

The youngest, Gu Tianqi, is thirteen years old this year and is in the third grade of junior high school, having skipped two grades.

Shen Yizi has just finished the college entrance examination this year and is about to enter university.

The Gu family today is no longer the impoverished Gu family of the past. Now everyone in the family has his or her own life and pursuits, but the relationship between the brothers and sisters is as good as ever.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Yizhi and his former rival Qin Lulu have now become good friends.

All I can say is, things are unpredictable.

After the exam, both of them relaxed a lot.

Shen Yizi slept until ten o'clock the next day. She could have continued sleeping, but was woken up by the ringing of the phone in the living room.

With messy hair, she put on her slippers and walked to the living room. "Who is it?"

She was still in a bad mood after waking up, and her tone was not very good.

"I knew you were still sleeping! Hurry up and get up and go shopping with me. I'm already on my way to your house. If you haven't packed your things by the time I get there, you're dead!"

Qin Lulu said a lot and then hung up the phone.

Shen Yizi scratched his head and said, "Okay, since we're awake, let's go shopping."

After a day of shopping, Shen Yizi felt like her feet were about to fall off, but Qin Lulu still looked very excited. She really admired this woman.

"Qin Lulu, that's enough. We've already bought so many things. How long are you going to shop? I want to go home and lie down on the bed."

Shen Yizhi was sitting on a lounge chair in the mall, feeling completely exhausted.

Qin Lulu was trying a skirt on herself: "I say your fighting ability is too weak. Okay, okay, after I try on this skirt, we'll go, okay?"

Shen Yizhi: ...You said the same thing an hour ago.

Woman, I want to end my friendship with you! After coming out of this store, Shen Yizhi refused to leave no matter what, so Qin Lulu could only regretfully terminate this shopping trip.

The two got into Qin Lulu's car. Qin Lulu leaned on Shen Yizhi's shoulder and said, "I'm going to sleep at your house tonight."

Shen Yizhi glanced at her sideways, "What do you mean you want to sleep at my house? Just to see my eldest brother, right?"

Qin Lulu is a die-hard fan of Gu Tianlin and is extremely obsessed with him. The reason she was able to become friends with Shen Yizhizi in the beginning was largely because he wanted to use her to get close to Gu Tianlin.

However, after getting to know each other, the two of them really became good friends who could talk about anything.

Qin Lulu held her face and shook it for a while, saying coquettishly and domineeringly: "Just tell me whether it's true or not?"

Shen Yizhi was almost dizzy from her shaking, "Sure, sure, sure."

Qin Lulu then let her go, hugged her arm and talked excitedly about Gu Tianlin.

Talk about his looks, the movies he acted in, the songs he sang...

Her eyes were shining and she talked incessantly, like a fangirl among fangirls, obsessed with every aspect of Gu Tianlin.

Shen Yizhi shook his head. This guy is beyond help.

When he got home, Shen Yizhi found that his elder brother had returned and was busy in the kitchen.

That’s right, Gu Tianlin, who is so brilliant outside, is just a househusband who dotes on his younger brothers and sisters at home.

Qin Lulu, who had been calling Shen Yizhizi "Brother Tianlin" all the time before, now turned into a shy little girl. She greeted Gu Tianlin very politely and offered to help in the kitchen.

Shen Yizhi leaned to one side with his arms crossed, watching her performance leisurely.

Tsk tsk, woman, your name is drama queen.

“Ahhh! I’m dying! I’m dying! I actually got to eat the meal that Brother Tianlin personally cooked! Wuuuuu… The meal that Brother Tianlin cooked is so delicious!”

After dinner, Qin Lulu followed Shen Yizhi to her room. As soon as she entered the room, she put her hands on her heart and threw herself on the bed like crazy.

Shen Yizhi kicked her on the buttocks in disgust, "Nympho! My brother's cooking is as delicious as mine? Who said before that my cooking is the best in the world? You are a fickle woman!"

Qin Lulu rushed over and pushed her down, "Tangtangtangtang, tell me, are we best friends?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Since we are best friends, shouldn't you help me solve my lifelong problems?"

Shen Yizhi's mouth twitched, "You want me to help you chase my brother?"

Qin Lulu nodded hurriedly: "Tangtang, you will help me, right?"

Shen Yizhi: "You get up first. Don't you know your own weight? I'm almost suffocating under your weight."

Qin Lulu glared at her and said, "Hate it, I'm very light, okay?"

But he still got off her.

"Let me make it clear first. I can help you pursue my brother, but it also depends on what my brother thinks."

"Yeah, Tangtang, I know you're the best!"

Qin Lulu hugged her waist and rubbed against her in her arms.

The two of them lay together, talking and joking, and they didn't know when they fell asleep.

The next day, when the two were still sleeping soundly, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Tangtang, Tangtang——"

It's Big Brother! The voice sounded very anxious, could something have happened? Shen Yizhi woke up with a start, got up from the bed and opened the door, "What's wrong, Big Brother?"

"We received a call from the Capital Military Region Hospital, saying that Xiao Ting was seriously injured, and it is very likely that... we should go over there." Gu Tianlin's eyes were red, and he said with difficulty, clenching his fists.

Shen Yizi's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Tianlin was quick to support her.
