Everyone was silent for a moment. Wang Yutong was in a different grade than the others, a sophomore. Her father was the Public Security Bureau Chief of City N. He had uncovered a drug-producing operation, but the ringleader hadn't been apprehended, leading to revenge. They kidnapped Wang Yutong for ransom, having suffered heavy losses from Chief Wang's actions. They devised this scheme to compensate for their losses. Chief Wang pretended to pay the ransom while dispatching police to rescue his daughter. By the time they found her, she was already dead, having been raped. This incident had a significant impact. It was said that his wife later divorced Chief Wang because of the death of their only daughter. But no matter what, a life was lost, and that cannot be reversed.
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Zhang Juan quickly crossed out the message and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't go. I will be separated from you all after I go to college. It's rare that I can be with you for the entire holiday. This is a kind of compensation for me." In fact, Zhang Juan knew clearly that although they seemed to be living well now, his father held an important position. Who knows if he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and if he met a cruel person, if something really happened, she would have no place to cry.
The others didn't dwell on it, just going about their business. Some things require precaution, but there's no need to be paralyzed by the unknown. "Yiyi, why is your waist so bulging today? What's hiding?" Zhang Juan asked, noticing the slight bulge in Yiyi's clothes. "Oh, I added some weights today. This training intensity isn't working for me anymore, so I just had to increase the difficulty," Yiyi said helplessly. "How many kilograms did you add?" Zhang Juan asked again. "20 kilograms." The others were speechless for a moment, feeling the gap between them and Yiyi widening. Yiyi, sensing their concern, explained, "You could actually add weights to your running now, but right now isn't the right time. Your studies are most important. After the exams, none of you will be able to run. I'm going to let you take it easy for now, or I'm afraid you won't have the energy to study." They reflected. They'd just added barbells today, and adding weighted running would be too tiring. They didn't know if they'd be able to study during the day. So they stopped thinking about it.
A few days passed like this. Yiyi practiced at night, worked out in the morning, and rested during the day, her days reversing. When she'd gotten enough sleep, she'd pull out her books to read. After all, she'd promised her father that her grades wouldn't fall behind. Occasionally, Yiyi would check her social media account. The seeds she'd planted had grown into tiny vegetable seedlings, just over an inch tall and lushly green. She'd even watered them twice. Today, at lunchtime, she heard that her eldest brother was coming back. He'd done a good job on his mission, and the team had given him a few days off. From what her mother said, it seemed like she was planning a blind date for her eldest brother. It was no wonder Minghui was worried. Her eldest brother was already 28, and he'd never been in a relationship or had a girlfriend. Everyone in the family was wondering if he didn't like women anymore. Her mother's plan was a good one, but she wasn't sure if her eldest brother would go along with her and go on the blind date. Yiyi didn't think her eldest brother was too old; he was in his prime. Men should establish their careers before starting a family. Otherwise, everything is uncertain. With uncertain jobs and income, no woman would dare to marry him. How can they provide their wives with a stable life? Although such problems don't exist in their family, for most people, these things are still quite realistic.
In fact, Liang Yiyi was still a little bit looking forward to it. He hadn't seen his elder brother since he came into this body.
At five o'clock on Friday afternoon, Liang Yiyi's eldest brother, Liang Wenlong, was already sitting on the sofa in his home. When Liang Yiyi came downstairs, he was chatting animatedly with his grandfather. Seeing Yiyi coming down, a smile graced his resolute face. "Yiyi, come here and let big brother see you." He stood up and pulled Yiyi to sit beside him. "When your second brother came to pick me up this afternoon, he said you'd changed. I didn't believe it, but now that I see you like this, I can't help but believe it!" "Brother, why didn't you ask me to pick you up when you came back?" Yiyi asked angrily. "What did you say? I was going to take you with me to pick up big brother this afternoon, but you were sleeping like a pig and wouldn't wake up even when I called you. Did you go steal chickens last night?" the second brother scolded with a smile. "I studied too late last night, and I'm sleepy today. I didn't know big brother was coming home today, otherwise I would have rushed to the airport to wait for him," Yiyi said. In reality, she had been so engrossed in absorbing the moonlight that night that she'd forgotten the time and had to continue her exercise in the morning, so she was catching up on sleep during the day.
"Yiyi, do you miss your brother after not seeing him for so long?" Liang Wenlong asked with a smile. "Yes, of course I do. I'm wondering when my brother will find me a sister-in-law so that she can play with me when he's not at home." "You little heartless thing, it turns out you don't really miss me. I was wondering why I never received a call from you." Although Liang Wenlong said these words of reproach, the doting in his eyes could not be deceived. "I heard that you were hospitalized a while ago. Why didn't you tell your brother?" Liang Wenlong asked again. "You were on a mission at the time. I didn't want to disturb you. Besides, I couldn't contact you when you were on a mission! And I was fine. Why should I make my brother worry? I didn't mention it to you." Yiyi answered. "If you have any problems in the future, you must tell me, big brother. If you really don't want to make big brother worry, you must find a way to protect yourself and don't let anything happen to you. I heard that you are exercising every morning now, right?" "Yeah, with some friends from the courtyard." Liang Wenlong thought for a moment and said, "How about this, big brother will teach you a few moves starting tomorrow. This time big brother will stay at home for half a month. You should try to learn the moves I teach you in this half month. From now on, you can practice on your own when I'm not at home." Liang Yiyi was immediately excited after hearing what big brother said, "Good big brother, don't worry, I will study hard."
By dinnertime, Liang's father had returned. He was overjoyed to see his eldest son home. The family was now reunited, and he was incredibly proud. His eldest son was thriving in the army, and his second son had a knack for business. His youngest daughter had been his biggest headache, but since she'd been discharged from the hospital, she'd completely transformed. Not only was she excelling academically, but she'd even wowed the veterans with her shots in the army. Now, the only thing left was their marriages. If he could have grandchildren soon, his life would be complete.
The family gathered at the dinner table. Ming Huixin cooked several dishes that her eldest son liked. There was constant laughter at the table. Even Mr. Liang ate an extra bowl of rice because his eldest grandson came back.
