Zhen Tian urgently called out to Ye Qingyan: "D and C are having a back-to-school sale today, so stock up on things you like. Clothes and shoes are all sold out in all sizes."
"Okay, I'm not saying anything more, I'm going to go rob it." Ye Qingyan hung up the phone decisively.
"Sweetie, I'm coming in." Ji Yuzhi's voice came from outside Zhen Tian's room.
She sat up abruptly, abandoning her unrestrained posture, and smoothed her hair.
"Come in."
Her round eyes stared at the door until Ji Yuzhi appeared, at which point her eyes crinkled into a smile.
"Zhizhi." It seems that her emotions towards Zhizhi have changed since her identity was transformed.
He sat down next to Zhen Tian and casually patted the top of her head: "Shopping all day again?"
"Yeah, I'm exhausted." Zhen Tian snuggled up to him. "In the end, we decided to buy it when we got there. It's too tiring this way."
"Tired already?" Ji Yuzhi chuckled. "I didn't have time to show you the house in S City. I'll take you there after school starts. Can I leave the decorations and furniture inside to you?"
"Shall I do the decorating?" Zhen Tian's eyes lit up.
"Yes, buy whatever you like."
"Okay, okay, I'm willing."
When Zhen Tian said yes, her tone was even more excited than when he proposed. Ji Yuzhi felt a little stifled for some reason. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.
"Sweet."
"Um?"
"School starts..." he said hesitantly, holding her hand. "I might not be able to take you to school."
"What's wrong? Do you have work again?"
"Um."
"It's okay. My brothers and uncles will go anyway." There was no hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. "I've been with you all summer and I know how busy you are. Anyway, we'll see each other a lot when I go to S City. I won't mind these things."
"Good boy." Ji Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but he was going to meet the person in charge of next year's World Environmental and Economic Conference, which was very important to both their studio and Ji Yuzhi personally.
After spending a few days with Ji Yuzhi, he left H City ahead of everyone else, but his destination was not S City.
Zhen Tian didn't ask too many of her brothers and uncles to come, feeling it would be too grand and inconvenient. However, before leaving, the whole family gathered together again to compete for the spot to see Zhen Tian off.
Lu Kai simply threw money at the problem.
Jin Ze resorted to force to suppress the rebellion.
Lu Yiran and Lu Lin relied on their geographical advantages.
Zhen Hong was training and wouldn't participate in the final battle, and Zhen Yan and Lu Xian couldn't compete with their older and younger brothers. Zhen Yan couldn't go due to work, and Lu Yinuo couldn't go due to her studies. The family harmoniously and amicably agreed on the participants.
The night before she left, Lu Ti slept with her daughter.
Although she and Zhen Lei had always been busy with their careers since childhood, and hadn't taken as much care of Zhen Tian as Ji Yuzhi next door, Lu Ti still couldn't bear the sudden, long separation.
“If you encounter any trouble over there, look for Yuzhi. Your younger brother and third brother are also there. If things get really bad, your parents will rush over. Oh, and your older brother Ze is also working there. Don’t keep anything from me if anything happens.”
“I know, Zhizhi and I go to university right across the street. It’s very safe,” Zhen Tian whispered to her mother, nestled in her arms.
"Oh, Mom will miss you."
"Mom, I'll come back often. It won't take long by plane. If you miss me, you and Dad can come visit me."
"Okay. When you get to school, get along well with your roommates. Don't get into conflicts if you feel wronged. Don't confide in your roommates before you know them well. Your mother is so worried after seeing those news reports about poisoning and stabbing."
Lu Ti rambled on for a long time, probably recounting all the worries she had accumulated over the past month. But there was nothing she could do; it was her child's first time going away to school, and she hadn't slept well for several days because of her anxiety.
But Zhen Tian didn't think that much about it; she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She is now completely familiar with City S.
Therefore, there was no fear of the unfamiliar.
...
The plane landed smoothly at China Eastern Airlines' airport in S City. Zhen Tian was accompanied by Lu Kai, Jin Ze, and Lu Yiran.
Lu Lin didn't come back; he was training with the team. However, he took leave today to pick everyone up at the airport.
Zhen Tian arrived empty-handed, without even a simple backpack or suitcase. She had some clothes in Zhizhi's office, so she planned to buy the rest here.
"Little sister!" Lu Lin is already somewhat famous, so he doesn't dare to show his face in crowded places like the airport for fear of being mobbed. He has to wear a scarf, mask, and hat, and wave and shout to everyone he sees.
He must have been too loud, because people around him all looked over, and their suspicions only intensified when they saw his attire.
"Don't you think this is more eye-catching?" Lu Kai retorted speechlessly.
“It’s better to be noticed than to be recognized,” Lu Lin muttered to himself. “I don’t know how terrifying esports fans can be.”
Just as the group was about to leave, an even louder shout rang out behind them.
"Little sister-in-law!"
Upon hearing this address, Zhen Tian naturally turned around, and the figures of Zheng An, Zhao Zeyuan, and Feng Li came into view.
"What brings you all here?" she asked with a smile.
Zheng An took the lead, squeezing out of the crowd with Zhao Zeyuan and Feng Li.
"It's because the boss asked us to help my sister-in-law with the paperwork." Zheng An patted his chest. "Don't worry, we consulted with your school's students beforehand, and we've memorized the procedures. You can leave everything to us once you enroll."
Feng Li added with a smile, "Yu Zhi was worried you weren't familiar with the school, so he asked us to show you around. These must be the older brothers, right? Yu Zhi mentioned them to us."
Zhen Tian then realized what was happening and introduced them: "This is my third uncle, this is my younger brother, this is my third brother, and this is Brother Ze."
"Hello." Thanks to Feng Li's social skills, Ji Yuzhi's roommate and Zhen Tian's brother and uncle shook hands.
“We met last time.” Zhao Zeyuan had acted as the driver to pick everyone up during Lu Lin’s last competition.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Lin snorted and couldn't help but nitpick: "He's afraid our Tian Tian isn't familiar with things, so he didn't come in person. Ji Yuzhi is really playing cards now."
"Ouch. That hurts, little sister!" Lu Lin looked at his arm, which had been pinched, in disbelief.
Zhen Tian rolled her eyes at him: "I know I just have things to do."
"Your elbow isn't just bent outwards, it's practically attached to the Ji family." Lu Lin was speechless.
“Isn’t this obvious?” Jin Ze looked at his youngest brother and patted him on the shoulder.
“Even your brother A-Ze, who hasn’t been home long, knows perfectly well what you’re asking for.” Lu Kai also stuck a needle into Lu Lin’s chest.
Lu Lin glanced at Lu Yiran, who made a horizontal gesture across his mouth to indicate that he wouldn't say anything more. But wasn't that also implying that Lu Lin deserved it?
Lu Lin was filled with despair.
