Xiao Rongzhou finally finished his day's training. He wiped the sweat from his face.
Lately, the instructors have gone crazy, they're training them like mad.
Many students cried and wanted to go home, but Xiao Rongzhou didn't utter a sound.
He wanted to win this honor.
He wanted to take the medal back to show his son.
He wanted his son to know that his older brother was also a very capable person.
Xiao Rongzhou touched the photo she kept in her heart pocket.
He will definitely return with glory.
At midnight, the final mud pit training exercise finally ended. Xiao Rongzhou, his face covered in mud, stood up from the mud pit.
He raised his hand and looked at his wristwatch, where his name was prominently displayed at number one on the virtual leaderboard.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
We're one step closer to our goal.
Back in her dorm, Xiao Rongzhou thoroughly cleaned herself, even washing the mud and water out of her ears.
When I came out again, the lights were already off.
However, the roommates still started their routine nighttime meetings.
"Hey, do you guys know about that new ranking of healers?"
A handsome boy with a buzz cut lay on the bed, lazily sticking out half of his leg from the upper bunk, dangling it in mid-air.
"What?!" A chubby boy who looked like he was well-fed looked up excitedly.
"It's that one that got a little crown as soon as it appeared on the leaderboard!"
"Hiss! I know, it's that kid who sings so well!" The chubby boy suddenly became excited.
"Her name is Rong Lening, she has a name!" the dark-skinned, buzz-cut boy retorted unhappily.
This is his idol.
How can you call someone a child!
Even if you have to call her, you should call her "Little Sister"!
"I know, I just didn't remember for a moment, why are you being so fierce!?"
Little Fatty touched his chubby belly with a wronged expression.
Hearing his younger sister's name,
Xiao Rongzhou couldn't help but prick up his ears as well.
“I really like her,” the dark-skinned, buzz-cut boy leaned back. “You wouldn’t believe it, I was there at the time.”
She's like a fairy, so beautiful!
Xiao Rongzhou nodded silently in agreement. Yes, his little sister was a fairy!
"I know she's beautiful, but is everything said online true? Is the purifying power she releases really that strong?"
The chubby boy knew he would be scolded for asking this question, but he asked it anyway out of curiosity.
"Of course it's true! My mental energy level dropped by a full 2000 points back then!"
You know how outrageous this number is, right?
Finding a decent healer would cost more than that.
Moreover, they might not even be able to achieve that.
The chubby boy nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Then I'll definitely try to steal her tickets next time."
The boy with the buzz cut pursed his lips.
Whether we can even get one is another matter.
We don't even know when the next match will be held.
Thinking about this, the boy with the buzz cut couldn't help but feel a little emo.
When will he be able to see the fairy again?
As Xiao Rongzhou listened, she couldn't help but take out the photo of the cub again to look at it.
The people chatting nearby couldn't help but peek over when they saw Xiao Rongzhou's appearance.
"Brother Du, whose photo is that? I've seen you looking at that photo over and over for so many days."
Xiao Rongzhou stretched out her arms, looking at the cub in the photo, her voice incredibly gentle.
"This is a picture of my sister."
Upon hearing this,
The chubby boy in bed number 2 couldn't wait any longer. He jumped up like a monkey and ran to Xiao Rongzhou's side with a lithe gait completely out of proportion to his body.
Unfortunately, Xiao Rongzhou had no intention of showing it to them.
The chubby boy pouted, looking aggrieved.
Du Ge is too stingy. Not everyone treats his sister like a treasure. He won't even let you see her.
But it was just a fleeting glimpse.
He seemed to see that Du Ge's sister had pink hair and a beautiful fish tail.
Why does this look so familiar?
The chubby boy touched his hair.
Xiao Rongzhou gently kicked his shin.
"Alright, go to sleep."
Before the words had even finished,
The next second, light shone in through the small glass window in the doorway.
The light reflected off the instructor's face from below.
A terrifying aura is about to descend.
"What's wrong with room 501? Why aren't you asleep? Do you need to go for a three-lap run to feel better?"
Hearing the instructor's reprimand, the chubby boy grinned ingratiatingly, then nimbly darted back to his bed like a monkey.
Nighttime conversations are fine, but running exercises are unnecessary.
Meanwhile, the little cub being missed is looking up at the uncles and aunts it has never seen before.
The uncles and aunts, whom the children had never met before, gave him a fawning smile.
"Hello, Miss Ningning?"
Cub: Hmm? (⊙-⊙)
It all started a few days ago with Xi Zhi's younger sister, Xi Gui.
Xi Gui takes a day off on the 1st of every month.
Due to the nature of her work, Xi Gui doesn't wander around aimlessly.
She usually chooses to spend a wonderful day at her brother's large apartment.
The same is true today.
"They're here."
As soon as the door opened, the expected figure appeared, casually tossing out shoe covers.
"Put them on."
Xi Gui smiled brightly, "Thank you, brother~"
"Please sit wherever you like."
Xi Gui used both hands to write heart-shaped characters, sending Xi Zhi a big message of love.
However, Xi Gui didn't listen to her brother and sit obediently on the sofa; instead, she ran around everywhere in a flash.
It's been so long since I've been back, and it feels so unfamiliar.
As I walked, I arrived at the music room.
Through the crack in the door, I could see Xi Zhi's piano.
Xi Gui's hands immediately started itching.
Pushing open the door, I awkwardly pressed the black and white piano keys in front of the piano.
It was out of tune, but she had a lot of fun.
Just as Xi Gui was engrossed in playing, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.
At first she didn't pay attention, but suddenly, her eyes widened—this was…
The crystal ornament she gave to her brother?
Xi Gui stopped what she was doing in disbelief.
He immediately picked up the crystal ornament and examined it from all angles.
The craftsmanship, the technique, the size—it's definitely the crystal ornament she gave to her brother, no doubt about it.
But how did it turn out like this?
It was crystal clear, with not a trace of blue.
Could this be the perfect purification they've been pursuing all along?!
Their research team members devoted countless human and material resources.
But no matter what, the Atlas gems in their hands maintained that pale blue hue.
It's like hitting a plateau; no matter how hard you try, you can never reach that final point.
She thought it might be many, many years before she would see such a pure Atlas gem again.
I never expected to have such a huge harvest today.
Xi Gui clutched her heart.
An overwhelming joy overwhelmed her.
As soon as Xi Zhi entered the room, he was met with a fixed gaze.
Xi Zhi: ...
"What are you doing??"
"Brother~" o(￣▽￣)d
Xi Zhi took a step back, his whole body on alert. Whenever this girl acted like this, it was never a good thing.
"Brother, did you make this?" Xi Gui carefully lifted the ornament.
Xi Zhi, suddenly realizing he had forgotten something: ...Oh, this.
"Well, I wanted to tell you this before, but you know what kind of company yours is, so I didn't have time."
"I get it, I get it, bro, you're amazing! So many people in our company couldn't do anything about it, but you're a genius, a genius!!!"
Xi Zhi slowly put down the tray, turned his back,
"...I didn't do it."
"No, it's not!???"
"My student."
Xi Gui wondered if it was just her imagination, but when the words "my student" were mentioned...
She could actually detect a hint of pride and self-satisfaction in her brother's tone.
But never mind, none of that matters.
"Brother, could you perhaps contact your students?"
Our company offers excellent benefits.
As long as she is willing to participate in the research
Whether you want resources or anything else, we can discuss it.
And you know, our boss is amazing! He's rich, talented, reasonable, and handsome!
If she were a girl, I could introduce my boss to her!
A golden bachelor, he really is a golden bachelor!
It's a rare find!
Brother, you're the best, please help me out!
She crossed her arms, still shocked that her sister could be so heartless and cruel.
He shook his head, his voice deep.
He seemed heartbroken by the cruel exploitation he was inflicting on his younger sister.
"Little sister, she's only 3 years old."
Xi Gui, who was prepared to pester him relentlessly: ...Huh??
