On the first day of junior high school, Youan stood beside me like a little guardian angel, carrying his schoolbag.
"Sis, our schools aren't far apart. Remember to come find me if you need anything."
"I know, you've said that so many times."
"Hehe, I was just afraid you'd forget."
I looked up at him and pointed to my toes, somewhat unconvinced.
In the end, we still couldn't look each other in the eye.
Without realizing it, he's grown so tall; I used to have to bend down to see him.
However, as his older sister, I still reached out and patted his head.
"Hurry up and go to school, or you'll be late."
"Then I'll come pick you up after school tonight. I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, go quickly."
I waved to him and then walked into the campus.
A change of scenery has improved my mood considerably.
Turning my head, I happened to see Pei Ruxuan's figure.
At that moment, she noticed me, gave me a cold look, and then turned and left.
I smiled nonchalantly.
She poses no threat to me now, and those rumors have long been debunked by Youan.
Moreover, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Even though her father rarely came back, she still didn't dare to bully me openly.
The day's classes ended quickly.
That evening, as soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I saw You'an. He was anxiously looking into the campus.
They ran over as soon as they saw me.
She asked with concern, "Sister, did you run into any trouble today?"
"No, most of them are new students, and they are very friendly."
I didn't lie to him about that; because of my good looks, I made quite a few friends in one day.
"Okay, that's good. What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"I don't know, Aunt Pei seems to have bought a lot of Western food ingredients, she'll probably be making a lot of delicious food tonight."
Youan seemed very happy: "Great! I'm going to have a big meal tonight."
"Hehe, all you do is eat all day long, aren't you afraid of becoming a little fatso?"
He showed off his arm muscles: "How can I have the energy to work out if I don't eat? I'm going to protect you and Mom from now on."
A warm feeling washed over me, and I smiled gently at him.
"Yes, yes, our little Youan has grown into a young man."
We chatted and laughed all the way home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a car parked in the yard.
I asked in surprise, "Dad's here?"
Youan pursed her lips, showing no fondness for the word "father."
"Let him come if he wants, it's the same whether he's here or not anyway."
I quickly covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down, don't let him hear."
"What good will it do to hear it? We don't need him."
I pulled him aside.
He said seriously, "You can't have that kind of thinking. Even if he rarely comes back, don't forget that the life we have now is all thanks to him."
"But......"
"You'an, there are no 'buts'. At least you can't show these kinds of emotions in front of him, understand?"
He wanted to argue further, but in the end he nodded.
Only then did I feel relieved enough to pull him into the living room.
Youan usually listens to me and always keeps his promises.
"Dad, you're back."
Sure enough, Pei Qing was sitting on the sofa chatting with his mother.
But when I saw the people next to him, I was slightly taken aback.
"Wanyin, Youan, you're back."
Pei Qing stood up and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is Master Li, my friend."
Hello, Uncle Li.
"Yes, hello. These two siblings are already so grown up."
After he finished speaking, Master Li kept his eyes fixed on You'an, and his fingers kept moving, as if he was calculating something.
Pei Qing looked at him with some tension in his eyes, as if waiting for some outcome.
A few minutes later.
Master Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile at Pei Qing.
"Mr. Pei, congratulations! The young master is the person you've been looking for."
"Really?" Pei Qing seemed a little excited.
"That's right."
"Okay, okay."
Pei Qing paced back and forth in the living room, his face flushed with excitement.
His mother looked at him in surprise, wondering what the two men meant.
That evening.
Mom called the two of us into the bedroom.
His eyes were red, clearly from crying.
"Mom, what's wrong? Did that man bully you?" Youan asked, clenching his fist.
Mom quickly explained, "No, I'm just... happy for you."
At that moment, I had a bad feeling.
"Mom, what exactly happened? Is it related to Dad?"
She nodded gently: "It is indeed related, that's right, Youan..."
A dozen minutes later, I learned what had happened. I lowered my head slightly, not knowing what to say.
Companies like the Pei family are very strict in choosing their successors.
It depends not only on ability, but also on personal luck.
The Master Li who came in the evening specializes in this kind of work.
This time, he looked at all the boys in the Pei family, and Pei Youan was the luckiest one among them.
Abilities can be cultivated, but what is innate cannot be changed.
This should have been a good thing, but the problem is that Dad wants to take Youan away.
The reason is simple: his learning ability is still lacking and he needs specialized training.
