Chen Siyu rubbed her eyes, composed herself, and returned to the car with everyone.
When Chen Ma, who was in the driver's seat, saw them return, she immediately got out of the car and asked them what had happened. "Is your great-uncle not home? I just saw a strange man on the second floor trying to jump."
Chen Siyu was about to explain, but she couldn't utter a word.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, Cheng Zhi immediately said, "Uncle and the others are indeed not home. Those bad guys inside occupied the house a few days ago and even kicked Uncle and the others out."
Hearing this, Chen Ma was almost at her breaking point. She then asked, "Did they say where Uncle and the others went?"
Cheng Zhi shook her head. "We asked, but they didn't know either."
Chen's mother clutched her chest. Jiufeng Mountain was so vast, where could her uncles and the others have gone? It had been raining and windy for the past few days, had her uncles and the others found a safe place to stay?
She desperately wanted to go find her uncle's family right now, but disaster could strike at any moment, and she couldn't abandon this family.
She took several deep breaths. "Let's go in first."
Compared to Chen Ma, the great-grandmother was much calmer. After hearing that her great-uncle had been kicked out, she wasn't worried at all. Instead, she cursed a couple of times, "Jianchuan just can't get rid of this soft-hearted habit. Now look what happened, he's been kicked out himself! What a mess!"
After watching Chen Siyu's family go inside, the remaining three households began to make their own arrangements.
Lu Yuan stepped forward and said, "We just found a place to stay. It's right upstairs from my house. The whole floor is a guesthouse, and all six rooms are empty."
Cheng Zhi was quite shocked to hear that there were so many rooms, and she asked, "How do you know they are all empty?"
Shen Lingfeng, who was standing next to him, replied, "The front desk of that guesthouse was right next to the elevator. We smashed the counter, got the key, and went in."
The parents of the four girls didn't care where they lived, so they could choose whatever they wanted.
They sat around a table to discuss the matter, but Zheng Wan interrupted them, "I want to stay with Chen Siyu. Let me analyze it for you. First, I have the most family members, so we'll definitely need several rooms over there, which will be inconvenient. This place is more suitable for us. Second, I need to comfort Chen Siyu; I'm worried something might happen to her."
The second reason was also their reason. Although they also wanted to stay and accompany Chen Siyu, considering Zheng Wan's first point, they still agreed to let Zheng Wan stay.
After the division was completed, Zheng Wan and her family followed Chen Siyu inside.
The others got into the car and let Lu Yuan lead the way.
Upon arriving at their destination, everyone looked at the towering building and couldn't help but exclaim, "Is your family really that rich?"
Lu Yuan shook his head. "You're overthinking it. This is a place my mom rented. It was originally intended to be used as a beauty salon, but as soon as the renovation was finished, the world turned out like this."
Looking at the building in front of her, Cheng Zhi suddenly had a very bad feeling. "Lu Yuan, which floor do you live on?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "12th floor."
Everyone else: "...So we'll live on the 13th floor!!!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the non-existent watch on his wrist. "Let's go, uncles, aunts, and friends. The journey home is long, so let's get started early."
The parents and Cheng Ye, who was holding Liu Liu's hand and holding French Fries, all followed Lu Yuan away, leaving only the young women standing still.
Cheng Zhi looked up and said in despair, "I'm already exhausted after climbing eight floors, and now I have to climb five more. I really can't do it!"
Huang Yiyi had already started pinching her philtrum, saying, "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to collapse, please carry me upstairs."
Xiao Feiran, supporting Huang Yiyi, shook his head repeatedly, "If only I had argued with Wanzi earlier, we wouldn't have had to climb."
The three of them remained still, as did the three men beside them.
Cheng Zhi turned and glanced at them. "What, you guys aren't up to it either?"
Shen Lingfeng shook his head painfully, "Sister, it's not that we can't do it, it's just that we've already climbed it once today, and this is the second time. Just counting the floors going up, it's 24 floors! If we add the floors going down, it's 36 floors!"
Okay, that's true.
Cheng Zhi retracted her doubtful remark and applauded them, saying, "You're all great!"
Composing themselves, they finally prepared to climb the stairs.
Huang Yiyi, still wearing her mask of pain, leaned against Xiao Feiran, unwilling to get up. "Can't you really lift me up?"
Xiao Feiran shook off her arm. "If you fall asleep now, you might dream that we carried you up there."
Huang Yiyi persisted, putting her arm around Xiao Feiran's shoulder again, "If I really fall asleep, will you not wake me up, and then kindly carry me upstairs?"
Xiao Feiran put on a fake smile, "Of course, I'm your best roommate, I'll be very considerate... to keep you here to feed the bugs!"
Huang Yiyi: "..." I was almost moved to tears.
The 8th floor was a critical point; Cheng Zhi and the others were already panting heavily when they reached the 8th floor.
Huang Yiyi was panting like an ox that had plowed ten acres of land. "As for the rest of the way, how about I... climb up? Maybe it will be easier if I use my hands and feet."
Cheng Zhi waved her hand dismissively, "We're all family here, do whatever makes you happy. I wouldn't care even if you did a handstand upstairs."
The six of them rested in the stairwell for a while before regaining their energy and climbing the remaining floors in one go.
Lu Yuan and Cheng Ye sat in the stairwell chatting and waiting for them.
"Brother, don't say anything more, just don't study agriculture!" Lu Yuan shook his head as he recounted his heartbreaking story of having his final assignment stolen.
The three girls who had just climbed up: "..."
My conscience, which I haven't felt for a long time, is bothering me again.
Hearing them talking about professional matters, Ye would say a word to each of them as she passed by.
"Don't study biology, doing experiments is too mentally taxing."
"And don't study civil engineering, it's all men!"
...
Everyone avoided their majors, leaving Cheng Ye bewildered. "Wait, if no one else is allowed to study this, then what am I supposed to study?"
Xiao Feiran turned her head and said, "We also hate what we learn in our professions. It's purely subjective. You should choose what you should choose and don't let us influence you."
Chen Yiyi, standing next to him, nodded in agreement, "Just follow your own heart."
