章 12: Han Xiang’s Worries
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
She wanted to complete the system mission and turn the situation around. However, Han Xiang felt that with her IQ, even if she were to finish reading this book, she would not be able to complete all the missions. This was because she would not be able to defeat all the intelligent and cunning people that would pop up later in the book.
However, the system said that she could choose to not complete the missions, so she was free for now.
Han Xiang was very satisfied with her current life. She only wanted to cherish the happiness in front of her and did not want her family to be in danger.
However, when she thought of the great crisis that the Han family would face later in the book, she began to worry again.
The fate of the original protagonist, Han Xiang, had been changed. Would the fate of the Han family be changed too?
After school, Han Xiang sat in the Han family's shuttle car. For the first time, she did not take the initiative to chat with Han Yang. Instead, she sat quietly and thought about the problem.
Han Yang looked at her for a while and then asked, "Did you get first place in the monthly exams this time?"
"Yes."
"You got full marks for all of the papers?"
"Yes."
Han Yang could not find the words to say for a moment. He wanted to change the atmosphere and asked in a slower tone, "What's wrong?"
"Ah..." Han Xiang realized that her third brother was concerned about her. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and smiled at Han Yang, saying, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Seeing Han Xiang's forced smile put Han Yang in a bad mood. It was obvious that this fourteen-year-old boy did not know how to comfort girls, so he was sulking.
Therefore, at the Han family's dinner table, the two junior high school students were quiet. Han Qi asked, "What's wrong with the two of you? Why aren't you talking?"
However, no one answered him.
"Han Xiang, are you going to play basketball?" Han Qi asked again, unwilling to give up.
The girl shook her head and then returned to her room. She wanted to find some clues about future changes from the mission list given by the system.
After Han Xiang left, Han Qi nudged Han Yang. "What's wrong? Did you have an argument with her?"
When Han Yang heard this, he became awkward and pursed his lips. "She ignored me first."
When Yang Su came back from the research institute, the atmosphere finally improved. When she heard that Han Xiang got first place in the monthly exams, she was very happy and went upstairs to chat with Han Xiang.
"Sweetheart, can I come in?"
Han Xiang opened the door and welcomed Yang Su in, who was holding two cups of milk. Yang Su kissed the petite girl on the forehead and asked, "Sweetie, what's wrong? Did you come across something troubling you?"
Holding the hot milk and looking at Yang Su's caring gaze, Han Xiang really wanted to pour out all her troubles to her.
"If I already know the ending of my story, would my life still have any meaning?" Han Xiang suddenly blurted.
Yang Su pondered for a moment before she answered seriously, "Of course there would be meaning. For example, even if I was just a supporting character in a novel and my fate was to make sacrifices for the main character, my life would still still meaningful because all the feelings that I personally experienced are still my own."
After being comforted by Yang Su, Han Xiang's hands trembled and she reorganized what she wanted to say. Then, she said hesitantly, "Last night, I dreamed that there would be a great change in our family's future... Not only would our family be separated, but our wealth, house, and status would also be gone..."
"Such a fate would befall us only if we don't do well for ourselves. But as long as we are together and support each other, these external factors can be accounted for. With me around, my darling doesn't have to be afraid." Yang Su said lovingly.
After chatting with Yang Su, Han Xiang's mood calmed down a lot. She drank the milk Yang Su gave her and fell asleep in peace.
It felt so good to have a family to rely on. Although Han Xiang was just a wandering soul from another world, she was willing to sacrifice everything for this warm family.
The next day was the day Grandpa Han and Han Yuan would return home from their time abroad. The news of Grandpa Han's return was not told to the Han family's extended family. Only Han Zheng's family accompanied him. Han Xiang and the other two came back from school at noon and rushed to have lunch with Grandpa Han.
When Grandpa Han's van drove into the courtyard, the whole family went forward to welcome him. They were nervously and expectantly waiting for Grandpa Han to appear.
The first to appear was a young man. There was a long scar on his brow, and his eyes were sharp. After getting out of the car, he immediately stood up straight and reached out to help the old man out of the car.
When Grandpa Han got out of the car, he swept his gaze across the entire scene. With a straight face, he leaned on his cane and slowly walked forward.
The young man carefully supported him, afraid that his grandfather would fall and hit something.
Han Xiang recalled that this young man was the eldest brother of the Han family, Han Yuan. The Han family claimed that he was working as a designer abroad, but in reality, he was working for the government.
He was sent to the army to train at the age of 14 and at the age of 18, he received the rank of Major for his military achievements. In the following years, he hid his identity and was arranged by the government to carry out secret missions abroad. He rarely had time to go home.
