Because of what Fan Xiaofan told him today, Fan Yunyan felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.
After listening to Lu Zhixi's words, he recounted his life story from childhood to adulthood, including how he used to be a pushover...
He also felt some regret. He used to think of himself as a good older brother, but he wasn't. When they went to the countryside, it was Xiao Fan who took care of him.
Anyway, Fan Yunyan rambled on and on, not even knowing what he was saying. He just wanted to talk to someone, to talk about the loneliness of his childhood and the happiness he has now.
When he was little, Zhou Xuehua also favored Fan Yunli. It seems that children can't help but want adults to pay attention to them, and he was the same. So he learned to be sensible and tolerant, thinking that by being a good older brother, Zhou Xuehua would treat him, her son, the same way she treated Fan Yunli.
But in the end, it failed...
He felt quite frustrated when he chose to go to the countryside. If he hadn't met Xiao Fan, who knows what might have happened.
"Honey, I've come to understand something now: happiness can never be given to you by others, only by yourself. The people who are truly worth your effort will give you happiness in return, while those who constantly ask you to make sacrifices are often taking away your happiness."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhixi couldn't help but smile despite her drowsiness.
Finally, he said, "Alright, get some rest. You have class tomorrow."
Fan Yunyan hummed in agreement.

Zhoujia Village.
The Zhou family treated Fan Yunli as well as possible because they had ulterior motives. However, Fan Yunli now found everything about her—the house she lived in, the clothes she wore, and the work she had to do—disgusting.
She didn't understand why, out of the blue, her father had suddenly sent them all to the countryside.
Every family is entitled to keep one child...
Overthinking, she couldn't help but write a letter to her father, but he never replied...
When the other members of the Zhou family saw that she had written so many letters to Fan's father, but he hadn't replied to a single one, they couldn't help but murmur among themselves.
The reason the Zhou family knew is because after Fan Yunli finished writing her letters, she was too lazy to go to Shuncheng to deliver them, so she naturally needed the Zhou family's help...
The Zhou family assumed she was delivering letters to Beidu for some good food, so they were happy to help run errands. Over time, they became quite familiar with these letters.
Fan Yunli's expression wasn't good either. What on earth was her father up to...?
Confused and disoriented, she had no idea about the major events that had transpired at home. Her father had no interest in contacting his children, and Fan Xiaofan had only informed her other siblings.
Aunt Zhou couldn't hold back her tears today. Fan Yunli complained that the food in the countryside was bad and insisted on eating an egg every day, which broke Aunt Zhou's heart. However, there was still no reply to the letter sent to Beidu, and she didn't know what had happened.
Eggs were a form of hard currency, a kind of alternative exchange currency in this era...
This is what Fan Yunli eats every day...
"Yunli, you've sent quite a few letters to Beidu, why hasn't your father replied at all? Did you two have a fight before you came out?"
Arguing? How could we possibly argue?
Before they set off, they could hardly see Father Brahma at home, except when he saw them off at the end. Even then, Father Brahma's gaze was complicated, followed by silence...
I have no intention of talking to them.
Fan Yunli also wanted to figure out what her father was thinking...
