Rui Xing was lazying around in her bedroom, reading a book she got hooked onto. She was addicted to reading books. The book she was currently reading was about how the main character spends her summer at the summer house. 

At this second, her phone rang. It was a call from her best friend, Wen Xi. "Hello Rui Xing! Are you free tomorrow night?" Wen Xi asked her excitedly. "What's the plan for tomorrow night?" "I'm having a party at my house! I'll be inviting anyone I know." "Uh I'm not sure if I'm interested to co..come with...with so ma..many people around" Rui Xing stuttered. "It'll be fine! I want to introduce you to my other friends! I promise it will be fun. Don't be such an introvert!" "Fine..." Then Rui Xing hung up the phone. 

The only reason she would be going to the party tomorrow night was to not disappoint Wen Xi. She's already rejected 3 invites from Wen Xi whenever she held a party. Rui Xing felt bad for not showing up and supporting her best friend, so this time, she will. She started packing for tomorrow's party, then realized she had no idea what to bring. She's never been to a party before. Rui Xing texted Wen Xi, asking what to bring for tomorrow and she replied saying to bring herself. Rui Xing rolled her eyes. That information was not of much help to her. 

In the end, Rui Xing just decided to bring her phone, wallet, and her book, in case she was bored and felt like reading. She then used her phone till around 11.30pm before sleeping. 

—————————-
The next day 
—————————-
Since it was Rui Xing's off day and had nothing to do, she went to the library to check out a few books she's been wanting to read. Happy to have seen the books she wanted, she grabbed the book from the shelf and started reading a bit of the story. 

She was so mesmerized and concentrated into reading the book that she didn't know she sat there for 2 hours. She accidentally finished reading the book, when she was only supposed to read the first bit. I guess I don't have to borrow this book now, Rui Xing thought to herself. She then went on the look-out for the other 2 books she wanted to read. 

As expected, Rui Xing came home with 5 books and not just 2. By the time she came home, it was already 7.30pm. She was to arrive at the party at 7.45pm. Rui Xing went to her closet and started to ponder. What do people wear to parties? Do they just wear normal clothes? The only thing that came to mind was hoodie and jeans so she took that outfit and wore it. 

Rui Xing grabbed her keys and headed to the bus stop, waiting for the bus that took her to Wen Xi's house. In the meanwhile, she started reading her book. As soon as the bus arrived, she boarded the bus. She started to feel nervous, what if someone asks her to do something she doesn't what to do?

She alighted the bus, feeling anxious and scared for what might happen at the party. As Rui Xing reached Wen Xi's house, she awkwardly walked in to look for Wen Xi when someone tapped on her shoulder. It was Wen Xi! "You came!!!" Wen Xi said as she greeted her with a hug. "I want you to meet this person. Rui Xing, meet Shang Ying. Shang Ying, meet Rui Xing." Wen Xi introduced them to each other. 

"Hi," Rui Xing said politely. "Hey, Rui Xing right? Didn't we meet before? We went to the same kindergarten." Shang Ying asked casually. "Wow it's been so many years... How could you still remember me?" Rui Xing asked, puzzled and curious to know his reply. "It was because you were the person who sat at the back of the class and did not utter a word on the first day." Shang Ying smiled. And his dimples at the side of his cheeks could be seen, which was kind of cute, Rui Xing thought to herself. "Oh right" Rui Xing scratched her head. 
"Okay, I'll leave you guys to chat while I entertain the other guests." Wen Xi said to both of them.

A 21 year old girl is in a love triangle. Whose heart would she break? Who will she end up with? How would her loved-ones react?

Song Beibei glanced at Gu Yanqing.
She felt that Gu Yanqing had shown mercy.
There were only about twenty books in this box.
It didn't take much time to sort the books on the shelves.
Gu Yanqing used to play games like this with Xiao Xintong when he was in Hong Kong city.
Gu Yanqing took the books from the shelf.
Then he asked Xin Tong to put them back.
To Xin Tong, this was just a game.
It could train the child's memory ability and cultivate the child's interest in books.
Anyway, before Xin Tong put the books back, she had to ask this and that when she got a book.
Thus, Song Beibei went to work in peace.
This was not difficult.
Xin Tong also had to go to kindergarten today.
Therefore, only Fu Chengdong and Xiao Ying were left at home.
In the evening, Song Beibei picked up Xin Tong and came back.
When she returned home, she did not see Fu Chengdong and Ye puying.
Aunt Feng said, "those two children are in the study. "
Song Beibei was a little confused.
Could it be that she hadn't finished arranging the books?
Xin Tong wanted to play with Fu Chengdong and Ye puying.
So she ran into the study.
Song Beibei followed closely behind.
At the door of the study.
Song Beibei saw Fu Chengdong and Ye puying sitting on the carpet.
The books in the box were scattered all over the floor.
None of them had been put on the shelves.
Gu Yanqing's study had bookshelves connected to the ceiling on three sides.
On each side, there were small moving ladders for holding or placing books.
Even children could play with books at will.
Therefore, this was not a difficult thing for Fu Chengdong.
And Seeing Fu Chengdong's dejected look,.
Song Beibei suddenly thought of it.
Fu Chengdong could not read at all.
Song Beibei almost forgot that although Fu Chengdong was already six years old,.
He did not receive any education, and he had no parents since he was young.
The most important thing every day was to fill his and his sister's stomachs.
How could she possibly be able to read and write?
However, Xin Tong was completely different.
Xin Tong was simply a language genius.
When Xin Tong was two years old, she began to learn both Chinese and English.
Because she lived in the language environment of the United States, Xin Tong spoke English as if it were her mother tongue.
Moreover, although Xin Tong had just turned ten, she already knew more than 3,000 Chinese characters.
Song Beibei would sometimes forget that Xin Tong was only a child.
Instead, she took this matter for granted.
Song Beibei was quite annoyed.
Gu Yanqing was really making things difficult for her.
Yesterday, it was physical strength, but today, it was mental strength.
Gu Yanqing must have thought of it long ago.
Since he knew that Fu Chengdong couldn't read, why did he ask this child to do such a thing?
Song Beibei had never seen Fu Chengdong like this before.
He looked dejected and very defeated.
Xin Tong had already run over. "Brother Chengdong, what are you doing? "
Fu Chengdong didn't say anything.
Xin Tong looked at the books on the floor and casually picked up a book. "This is Daddy's financial magazine. It should be placed in the financial district. "
Xin Tong pointed at a location.
Fu Chengdong suddenly raised his head, but his eyes suddenly lit up.
He asked, "where should this book be placed? "
Xin Tong pointed at another location.
Fu Chengdong quickly put the book over.
Xin Tong had already sat down cross-legged.
Fu Chengdong took a book and asked Xin Tong, "where should this book be placed? "
Xin Tong was very happy.
Because this was the first time that brother Chengdong had taken the initiative to talk to her.
She only thought that Fu Chengdong was playing the same game as Gu Yanqing.
Xin Tong said, "this is Xin Tong's Andersen fairy tale. Put It in the literature section. "
With Xin Tong's help, more than half of the books were put in.
And the two of them worked well together.
One identified the books, and the other ran errands to put them in.
Song Beibei suddenly understood Gu Yanqing's intentions.
Presumably, Gu Yanqing had arranged this matter so that Fu Chengdong could ask Xin Tong for help.
Song Beibei looked in that direction again.
Then the corners of her eyes slightly raised.
She waved to Xiao Ying who was sitting at the side, "Xiao Ying, come here. I'll go take a bath for you first. "
Xiao Ying and Song Beibei walked out together.
In the study room.
Xin Tong was still reading the books one by one. "This is the general reference of the records of governance. Put it in the history section. This is the Xinhua dictionary. Put it there. "
Every time Fu Chengdong handed a book to Xin Tong for her to read, she would read it.
From the angle above, she could see the little girl's long eyelashes.
They were like the wings of a butterfly dancing in the grass.
Song Xin Tong's skin was snow-white. When he was very young, he had heard his mother tell a story about Snow White.
He looked at Song Xintong like this and thought, if snow white really existed in this world, she must have looked like this.
And he had also heard sister Mei from Yanliu alley tell another story.
It was Cinderella.
And Fu Chengdong felt that his sister Xiao Ying was a cinderella.
Because she had no parents, she lived in the mud at such a young age.
So he made up his mind.
He had to let Xiao Ying have a good living environment.
He also knew that if Xiao Ying really grew up in a place like Yanliu Alley, then she would have no chance to go to school. When she grew up, she would have to be like sister Mei. There would be different men coming into his house every day and living on the tips of those men.
He could not let Xiao Ying become like that.
Therefore, he had to let Xiao Ying be adopted by this family.
In this way, Xiao Ying could go to school and live in such a castle. She would slowly become a little princess.
The last book was finally placed on the shelf.
Xiao Xintong sat cross-legged and smiled. "Brother Chengdong, you said a lot of things to me today. "
Fu Chengdong looked at Xin Tong and his little eyebrows furrowed.
He really did not like this little girl.
He didn't like her at all, because she only knew how to smile. Every time she smiled, her eyes would curve up like the little crescent moon in the sky.
She was as bright and bright as the moon in the sky.
But the brighter and better the child in front of him was, the more Fu Chengdong could feel his own ugliness and filth.
When he saw Song Xintong, he realized that there was such a happy child in this world.
She actually knew so many things. Her brain seemed to be different from theirs.
And the world she saw seemed to be another world.
Fu Chengdong turned around and was about to leave the study.
Xin Tong pouted.
She got up and chased after him. "Brother Chengdong, why are you ignoring me all of a sudden? "
Xiao Ying had just been taken away by Song Beibei.
Song Beibei helped her take a bath.
After the bath, she went to the dining room to eat.
She was about to call for the two children in the study.
She saw Xin Tong and Fu Chengdong walking in the corridor one after the other.
Fu Chengdong was like a little adult.
Xin Tong bounced up and down behind him, and she was also very noisy.
Fu Chengdong frowned.
Song Beibei shook her head helplessly.
She admired her daughter's clingy skills, as if she had seen herself and Gu Yanqing in the past.
This feeling of history repeating itself was a little strange.
Gu Yanqing came back very soon.
When he came back, he saw that the study room had been tidied up.
During dinner, he even praised Fu Chengdong, "not bad, you've completed today's task. "
Fu Chengdong knew that Song Xintong had actually helped him complete today's task.
But he didn't say anything.
At that time, he didn't say that he couldn't find anyone to help him.
But today, he found the housekeeper and housekeeper at home, but no one was willing to help him.
He didn't expect that at night, he would actually be helped by this little princess.
Actually, he was also very surprised in his heart. This little princess actually knew every book, and a few of them were foreign books.
She actually knew all of them.
But he didn't know a single word.
Fu Chengdong lowered his head and was silent for a while.
Then he said, "there's only one thing left. As long as I do it, don't forget what you promised me. Say It, what do you want me to do tomorrow? "
Actually, when Fu Chengdong said this, he didn't have much confidence anymore.
Today, he really suffered a blow.
In the past, when he was in Yanliu Alley, a group of children, he was the overlord.
In terms of fighting, even ten-year-old children weren't his match.
But today, he realized that this wasn't Yanliu Alley.
Living here required reading and reading.
But he knew nothing about it.
Gu Yanqing seemed to think for a while. He casually took a sip of the soup and said, "tomorrow, you go to kindergarten with Xin Tong. If you can last until tonight, then you'll have completed your mission. "

[ Introduction ]

Song Beibei had said the most since she was young, "Gu Yanqing, I have a generation gap with you. "


In Song Beibei's eyes, Gu Yanqing was a shameless old man who still knew how to act like a hooligan. He relied on the fact that he was much older than her, and whenever he was unhappy, he would call him an "old man" . Every time they quarreled, he would say three sentences: DIVORCE I have a generation gap with you.

Song Beibei had long known that Gu Yanqing had a woman in his heart, so in Song Beibei's eyes, all of Gu Yanqing's kindness and gentleness were feigned The most ruthless words she had ever said were, "Gu Yanqing, you're just a dog of our song family. "

Gu Yanqing was neither angry nor angry. He said faintly, "aren't young ladies of your age the most popular loyal dog husbands? "

This man He was too shameless!

Twenty-six kinds of dim sum were devoured by a group of doctors before they vigorously returned to the operating theater.
People who worked in another field might find this a little too strange, but none of the doctors present found it surprising. 
The patient was in the recovery room. It would definitely make things troublesome for the doctor and make them feel uneasy if the doctors took their time and delayed the surgery.
To some extent, the reason behind the doctors' large workload was the outbreak of diseases. Moreover, it also depended on the doctor-patient ratio. If there were more doctors, their burden would have been reduced.
Of course, there could never be an ultimate solution to this conflict. Just like now, Professor Feng Zhixiang's personal surgeries were absolutely different from those performed by regular attending physicians or assistant lecturers. Not only was there a difference in the chief surgeon, but there was also a distinct difference among the other posts. 
Unless Beijing University Sixth Hospital had other ideas or had a few screws loose in their heads, Professor Feng Zhixiang must definitely have the best surgery team. The team must have the most experienced and scrub nurse who can deal with pressure the most, the most intelligent circulating nurse who was very familiar with the environment, and an anesthetist who was highly skilled in pharmacology and had an abundant experience as well as enough sleep.
Needless to say, the operating theater, equipment, and materials used by Professor Feng Zhixiang would also be the best. Even when the patients were reluctant to use imported drugs or consumables, the hospital would still use them, but the hospital would charge the patients according to the price of domestic drugs.
Of course, all these were only medical details. Even if they were truly great, the final deciding factor that would determine the effect of the surgery would not depend solely on a few simple details.
Feng Zhixiang also knew this very clearly. The smile on his face faded away after he entered the bathroom, he became serious. The first thing he did was ask Ling Ran, who was next to him, a question. "Have you performed gallbladder cancer before?"
"No." Ling Ran washed his hands carefully. He did not feel as enslaved by a burden as other doctors would when it came to this. Instead, he felt relaxed and comfortable. He wished he could wash his hands longer.
Feng Zhixiang turned to look at Ling Ran. He could not help but have a slight smile appear on his face. He then quickly let it fade away and said, "You have not performed gallbladder cancer surgery before, yet you dare to be my first assistant?"
Ling Ran looked at Feng Zhixiang calmly and said, "I know the anatomy of the abdominal cavity very well. I've done cholecystectomy several times, and I'm good at lymphadenectomy and hepatectomy. I will be very helpful to you."
Feng Zhixiang was speechless. He often used this technique to frighten his students. Unexpectedly, it was not effective on Ling Ran at all.
"Oh, I almost forgot. You have been a chief surgeon several times, haven't you?" Feng Zhixiang sighed and coughed a couple of times, "In this case, if you are the chief surgeon, how would you assign the tasks?"
Ling Ran then pondered about it seriously.
When he was a chief surgeon, he always paid attention to his assistants' capabilities and allocated tasks properly. This was from Ling Ran's many years of experience from team activities.
Although he did not like social activities very much, since he entered kindergarten, Ling Ran had always inevitably participated in various team activities. He would be chosen to practice and perform in his choir and drama teams, to raise the national flag, or be the one to greet people with warm welcomes. 
He would always get various invitations for bigger occasions as well, such as competitions or activities in class, grades, the school, district, city, province, and even activities at a national level.
But after staying in teams for a long time, Ling Ran gradually understood a fact: what was said by members was often not true, especially when they talked about their own abilities. 
The team members who like team activities were most likely to be one who liked to tear each other apart the most. Meanwhile, those who were good at completing tasks independently were often the ones who were best at helping people.
As a serious and responsible student, Ling Ran gradually learned to judge everything by himself, not by the opinions of his team members.
In the same way, when he faced Feng Zhixiang's query, Ling Ran put himself into the shoe of the chief surgeon and thought about his work assignments.
"If I were you, and if I were to assign tasks…" Ling Ran's words were a bit vague, but his thoughts and words soon became clear. He said, "I will read up first."
Feng Zhixiang was stunned for a moment. He then could not help but reveal a smile. "Your idea is a little too direct, but… Hmm, you would want to read up first?"
"Yes, I'll read up first." Not only had Ling Ran never performed gallbladder cancer surgery before, but he also had not deliberately read the relevant materials.
No doctor would actually memorize all medical books, and it would even be impossible to memorize the most basic ones. According to the five-year undergraduate clinical medicine professional textbook catalog, there were fifty-three basic medical books that students need to master. There was no need to challenge others. If a student really had to write down the entire content of Dermatovenerology, he or she would most likely rather suffer through all the diseases listed in the textbook instead. 
Even the doctors who were promoted by developed countries in Europe and America needed to invest a lot of money and time in reading. The preferred solution for unfamiliar diseases was to flip the books!
Unless it was a well-known material, otherwise, no matter how good a person's memory was, it would be better if he just flipped through a book instead. Because, if something went wrong, the patients' lawyers would question the doctor on why he did not read up on the relevant material. 
It was also common for resident doctors or attending doctors in hospitals to flip through books before giving any treatment. When they became Level 1 assistant lecturers, it did not mean they would not need to read up anymore. They still had to, because their scope of treatment would become narrower. Meanwhile, they always read up secretly when they have their own offices.
Ling Ran did not mean to read books secretly.
He would lean against the glass by the washroom before entering the operating theater. He would look at the surgery preparations as he took his time to read a book that was given by a junior doctor. 
Therefore, the doctors in the visitation room could see that in the operating theater below, Feng Zhixiang was doing a careful examination, while the highly anticipated first assistant, Ling Ran, was reading leisurely with a book in his hand.
"You can pay attention to the stages of gallbladder cancer surgery. Once we open up the abdominal cavity, you can compare them. There should be pictures.
"Gallbladder cancer is generally associated with stones. It is currently believed that physical stimulation is still a major factor in it. You can verify it later on the spot.
"Remembering the steps of the surgery would not be a problem for you. However, it also depends on the condition of the abdominal cavity once we open it. We've confirmed that it's spreading in the liver, I don't know about other internal organs…"
Feng Zhixiang gave Ling Ran on-the-spot teaching through the glass window. The atmosphere in the operating theater was like a classroom, which was quite different from the teaching scene understood by doctors.
The vessel-damaging assistant lecturer could not help but sigh, "I read up on the literature three days for a surgery in the past and memorized all the cases. In the end, during the surgery, the chief surgeon only said three phrases to me in total."
"Which three phrases?"
"Start, don't block me, and move." The tone of the vessel-damaging assistant lecturer was heartbreaking.
The 223-pound resident doctor secretly glanced over at the vessel-damaging assistant lecturer's belly before he let out a sigh of sympathy.


Ling Ran, a med school senior, begins to see the world like a game UI. He uses it to pave his way towards graduation, a residency, becoming the greatest doctor in the world... And finally getting a Transformer from his newbie packs? Maybe. We don't know yet.

As the night came, Li Lian returned home as usual with a tired appearance after work. When she opened the door, she saw Ye Cheng with MeiMei watching a comic book.
When Li Lian saw this scene, an attractive smile appeared on her beautiful face and asked: "How was your trip today?"

Before Ye Cheng could answer, MeiMei who was reading the book immediately stood up hugging the woolen rabbit toy that was bigger than her and rushed to her mother. 
Li Lian blinked her eyes, MeiMei was really carrying a large stuff toy, she was shocked and asked: "Who send over this thing?"


"Mama." MeiMei looked at Li Lian and pounced into her mom's bosom.

"You have return?" Ye Cheng smiled and say: "Today after I have brought MeiMei to sign up for kindergarten, I bought it conveniently on the way back home."
He was satisfied when he saw Li Lian expressions.

"Bought conveniently…" Li Lian was surprised for a moment but regained her composure and asked: 
"So you signed up MeiMei for kindergarten?"
Although Ye Cheng promised to take MeiMei to sign up for kindergarten today, she was still afraid that he would take the money and do something from his past bad habits.
 
"That's right mama, today papa brought me to the kindergarten. There was a lot of people and there was cars that are faster than the bus we rode, and papa said he would buy a SUPER car and take MeiMei to every place" MeiMei acted cutely in Li Lian's embrace.
"Don't worry mama, MeiMei won't forget about mama, and will make papa take mama with us" MeiMei seemed to realize something and added.

"Really! MeiMei is a good girl that she remembered about mama" Li Lian smiled as she stroked MeiMei's hair then turned to Ye Chen and said:

"Sigh, I know that you made a sum of money but you can't spend it all like this, you should save some in case we needed it in the future"

"You don't need to worry about that. I will work harder and earn more from the game, also today other than signing up for MeiMei kindergarten, after buying a few more items I am left with about 40 thousand Yuans." Ye Cheng said with a confident smile.

After pausing a little Ye Cheng decided to continue:
"I plan to give Zhou Ying 30 thousand Yuans, after all he has helped us a lot and I owe him much more than that"

As he finished talking, Ye Cheng took out a small stack of folded money from his pocket and passed it in Li Lian's hand.

Li Lian was stunned when she felt Ye Cheng passing the money into her hand. Feeling the money in her hand, she was finally sure that Ye Cheng had really changed and this was not a dream.

"Of course you should do that. Sigh, it's hard to find a friend like that those days"
Li Lian knew pretty well that Zhou Ying's family was not that will off but he still gave the money to Ye Cheng when he needed, it's really hard to believe that people like this still exit in this world.

"He is not a friend, he is my brother" a warm smile appeared on Ye Cheng's face as he said that.

"Mama, papa bought all of this for me." MeiMei pointed at a pile of items which consist of shoes, stuffed toy, comic books...

Ye Cheng have really changed.

Li Lian eyes started to mist. Ye Cheng softly said as he brushed away her tears: "I have also bought you a present take a look and see if you like it."

When he finished, Ye Cheng took out a boohoo frill hem midi skirt. At first he wanted to buy a T-shirt, but when the attendant asked about her 3 sizes, he was stumped, hence he decided to buy a midi skirt that looked like it would fit her.

"A bit tight..." Li Lian compared the midi skirt to her waist and gave her opinion.

"Well…Let's change it tomorrow." Said Ye Cheng a little embarrassed

"NO! I'll keep it"

"Eh?" Ye Cheng made a sound in doubt.

"This is the first present you have given me after we got married." Li Lian kept the midi skirt away carefully.

To celebrate Ye Cheng's improvement and MeiMei's signing up for kindergarten, Li Lian decided to make a big diner tonight.

Originally according to their usual dinner, Li Lian would only make two dishes, a boiled cabbage dish and a lettuce fried pork dish. The fried pork was very less, and was only put in to improve the taste.

But today dishes were excessive compared to their previous ones, as their daughter school fees had been settled, Li Lian could finally breathe a sigh of relief and decided to buy a big fish to improve their diner tonight.

For a lot of people, this type of dinner couldn't be more normal and can't be called luxurious dinner. But to Ye Cheng, this was the most delicious dinner he have ever eaten in years.
Anything he could eat with a family was much better than anything he had eaten in his past lonely life.

"Be careful of the spine."

When Li Lian bought the fish, she requested the fishmonger to cut the fish into bigger pieces, especially the fish belly portion which was the biggest. These portions only have big spines and does not have small spines. Li Lian gave the fish belly to their daughter and even gave Ye Cheng two slices of fish belly. But for herself she picked the fish tail portion.

Fish tail have the most spine, most of it is small spine and fine spine.

Seeing that MeiMei asked curiously: "Mama, why did you eat fish tail every time?"

"Because mama like to eat fish tail." Li Lian answered while smiling faintly.

Hearing that, Ye Cheng sighed inwardly.
'She was really having a hard life supporting this family alone'

Ye Cheng was very sympathetic towards her and even had a strange feeling of pain in his heart.

When he has finished eating, Ye Cheng took the initiative to do the cleaning and picked up the bowls to the kitchen to wash it.

Li Lian was very tired after a day of hard work so she made an appreciative look towards Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng was washing the bowls in the kitchen giving his back to Li Lian who kept looking at his back with dreamy eyes, she couldn't remember the last time the Ye Cheng had cared for her this much.

'Sigh, I don't even remember the last time we touched each other' suddenly Li Lian remembered the last kiss in the kitchen and her face blushed slightly.

"Mama! Are you ok?" MeiMei who was at the side and saw her mother's face turned red asked with concern.

"Haha, nothing baby mama is fine" Li Lian smiled awkwardly and her face turned more red.
As the night deepened, everyone went to bed.

After waiting for their daughter to fall asleep, Li Lian's legs and arms sprawled on top on Ye Cheng.

"Oh, what are you doing Li Lian?" Ye Cheng who had not fallen into deep sleep asked in doubt.

Li Lian pinched Ye Cheng face and smiled: "Oh, why did you change the way you call me to Li Lian instead of wife?"

"No..." Ye Cheng was thinking of something to explain, but as he was being stared at by Li Lian's beautiful eyes, he said blankly: "Wife."

 

"En...hubby, tomorrow I am on leave." Li Lian voice suddenly became very faint: "About that…hubby, the thing that I promised you yesterday, we can do it tonight."

Listening to Li Lian voice which becomes cuter, Ye Cheng suddenly remembered scene of their dinner, and started to feel heart pain for Li Lian.

In the morning, she goes out to do exhausting work, when cooking she would give all of the delicious portions of the dishes to MeiMei, in the night still needed to be tormented by himself, how could she bear it?

Because of their daughter, Ye Cheng didn't not dare to make loud noises, instead pulled Li Lian into his embrace. Borrowing the moonlight, closely examined Li Lian beautiful face, afterwards gently kissed down.

"Wu Wu…" Li Lian who was being hugged by him tightly, was unable to make any sound.

From her soft lips to her swan like fair throat, finally gently pecks her forehead. Li Lian closed her eyes and waited for Ye Cheng next actions, but Ye Cheng lied down on her side and said softly.

"Wait for me to earn more money, then we shall open a tee shop or a hotpot shop, you shall be the lady boss, every day foes down to settle the account. In the free time, you can go with your bosom friends to buy items, do spa…"

As Ye Cheng was talking his voice was becoming quieter, suddenly there was not any sound coming from him. Li Lian's voice returned to normal and said faintly to him: "Idiot, do you know how happy I was when you have changed? I only wish to be with you and MeiMei, to assist you and educate the children, as long as you don't return to your past actions, I'll be more than happy and won't ask you for anything more"

Ye Cheng still didn't react.

Li Lian realized that Ye Cheng had fallen asleep as he was rambling. She helplessly smiled and tucked Ye Cheng in before going to sleep.

Ye Cheng stealthily opened his eyes and looked at Li Lian, after realizing that she is preparing to sleep, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep, this this time for real.

<Legend of Heroes> The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, that was like a second world for humanity opened with it the doors for dreams and unlimited future.

Rainy played with her own tiny fingers. Yes, she didn't want Granny; she only wanted Mommy. That child had Granny, but she didn't have Mommy to fetch her. Therefore, Rainy was still more blissful than her. At this point of thought, Rainy hugged her mother's neck tightly.
"Rainy loves Mommy the most."
Xia Ruoxin stopped walking again and gave Rainy a peck on her cheeks. "Yes, Mommy loves Rainy, too."
"Does Mommy love Daddy, too?" Rainy asked in confusion. She wanted to count in Gao Yi because Rainy loves Daddy, too.
Xia Ruoxin froze for a while before smiling and flicking Rainy's forehead gently. "Yup, Mommy loves Rainy. Mommy also loves Rainy's Daddy."
Rainy gave a silly smile, with her lips arching very upwards.
When they reached home, Gao Yi was already waiting. He immediately took Rainy from Xia Ruoxin's arms. It had been a day since they met. He missed his little princess so much.
"Daddy's little angel, did you miss Daddy?" He lifted Rainy up, but Rainy wasn't scared at all. Giggles and laughter occasionally could be heard. Xia Ruoxin lifted the pot and placed the sliced fish inside it. Today's fish was big and enough for the whole family to eat.
Outside, Rainy sat on Gao Yi's thighs, recounting the happenings in the kindergarten and the child that she didn't like.
"She snatched Rainy's doll; Rainy doesn't like her." Rainy would not tell her mother all these, but she would tell her father.
"Then what did Rainy do?" Gao Yi lightly tapped Rainy's chubby cheeks. Her chubby cheeks were cute and really made one feel like pinching it. This child was indeed very easy to fall in love with.
"Rainy went to play with other dolls," Rainy said while pouting, "but she was very mean, stepping on Rainy's shoes," She paused here, with her facial expression becoming glum. Gao Yi knew that he could not blame Rainy, for Rainy hated other people stepping on her in daily life. Sometimes, when other people wanted to touch her legs, it wasn't even likely—not to even mention stepping on her legs.
This girl's personality was so much like her mother, especially in the aspect of being shy and not having too much guts. However, she was also stubborn and not too easy to persuade, and this point was what she took after that man. Indeed, sometimes, blood ties were a strange thing and something that one couldn't deny. 
Although he saved Rainy and stayed by her side every day, her vibes were of that man. Regardless, even if he didn't have the blood relations with her, he would still raise Rainy as if she was his own biological child, loving her and protecting her.
"Daddy…" Rainy tugged at Gao Yi's clothes. "Why isn't Daddy speaking? Are you ignoring Rainy?"
Gao Yi pinched the child's cheeks. "Daddy is thinking of how much he loves Rainy."
Rainy happily rubbed Gao Yi's face. "Rainy loves Daddy, too. Mommy loves Daddy, too."
This line made Gao Yi freeze and made Xia Ruoxin who just exited the kitchen awkward, too. She didn't know what to say. She didn't expect Rainy to remember what she just said… although she did mean it from the bottom of her heart.
When she lifted her head, she made eye contact with Gao Yi's eyes which was filled with warmth. That warmness floated into her own heart as well. At that moment, she felt her eyes slightly widen. She thought, this should be love.
She walked over, placing the fish slices dish onto the table.
"Daddy and Rainy, come over and eat."
This sentence of hers made her own heart pitter and patter with happiness. Indeed, Daddy and Rainy… Daddy and Rainy! She finally gave Rainy a father. She knows that while Rainy had a mother, Rainy also needed a father; and given a choice, Xia Ruoxin would choose Gao Yi.
"Mommy, eat the fish." Rainy pointed at the big plate, hungrily wiping her own tiny lips with her equally tiny hands.
Gao Yi pinched her cheeks. "Eat more and grow faster."
"Will I grow taller than her?" Rainy lifted her face, blinking her pair of large and bright eyes.
"Who is this 'her' that Rainy is speaking about?" Gao Yi brought Rainy into his embrace while asking Xia Ruoxin. Who is this 'her', and why did Rainy continuously mention 'her'?
"A friend from kindergarten, I guess?" Xia Ruoxin removed the bones from the fish skillfully while her own daughter went to scoop rice.
"Rainy made a friend?" Gao Yi rubbed Rainy's brain, feeling some sense of accomplishment at his daughter's achievement.
"No." Rainy lifted her face from the bowl to pout before continuing to have her meal. Her face was full of rice grains, and with her soft voice, her parents didn't hear anything.
Finishing a bowl of rice, she went to watch cartoons. However, this child was actually used to multitasking: on one hand, watching cartoons on television; and on the other, reading the book that Gao Yi bought for her.
The book comprised of mainly drawings and some simple words, and Rainy could understand a few. In the past, Xia Ruoxin taught her some words at home. Although she didn't recognize many words, it was no issue for the simpler books like this one.
"Daddy, I'm done." Rainy placed the book in her hands down. Yet another book was finished.
Gao Yi walked over. "You finished the book?" He took Rainy's book, casually flipping through some pages. He thought to himself, this child read quite fast. It was only a few days, and the bookseller had mentioned that a child could take at least half a month to read a book.
"Tomorrow, Daddy will buy a few more for you." He thought that he would buy some more books tomorrow when he passed by the book store.
"Thank you, Daddy." Rainy sat on his knees to kiss Gao Yi's cheeks. Her cute expressions made Gao Yi play with her again.
Over the weekends, Rainy gained the most. She had a few more books, as well as a tracking watch, so that Xia Ruoxin and Gao Yi could know where Rainy was at all times.
In the kindergarten classroom, Chu Xiang was carried into the classroom by the teacher like a princess and was continuously entertained by the teacher. Chu Xiang proudly raised her chin. She had become some sort of celebrity in the kindergarten.
"Children, we'll be collecting the homework."
The teacher clapped her hands. The so-called homework was just to write some simple pinyin[1].
Chu Xiang's face turned red for she hadn't done her homework. All the words looked like bean sprouts, and she didn't even recognize any. How could she have done it?
[1] This is the romanization system for Mandarin.


Her step-sister just died three months ago. Now, she insists on marrying Chu Lui, who is supposed to be her future brother-in-law, the mind behind the Chu Enterprise. The world is sure that she, the new bride-to-be, haa caused her step-sister's death in order to seduce him.

Even her own mother says to her cruelly, "Don't call me 'Mom'. I don't have a daughter as vicious as you."

During their wedding ceremony, her husband-to-be tells her, "I won't kiss you; you disgust me."

All her embarrassment is captured by the numerous cameras present.

He shames her. 'Xia Ruoxin, you went so far just to marry me? I will make your life a living hell.'

And her life indeed becomes a living hell. For his business, he sends her to another man. To right the reputation of his beloved woman, he sends her to company a bunch of men. Later, he marries again, and on his wedding night, she remains in an ice-cold warehouse, giving birth to a girl.

Many years ago, the boy promised, "I'll come back for you when we're older. I'll marry you and make you my little bride."

"I'm back!" 

As if the threats never happened, Minhyun's anger disappeared, replaced by gentleness. 

The young girl skipped into the room, unaware of the tension within the walls. Minhyun sat down and gestured for her to sit in the spot beside of him. 

She obeyed and played with the utensils while waiting for the food to be served. Minhyun's hand leaned against his palm as he looked at Yoona with doting eyes. He'd never met such a carefree person before. She had the power to draw people in with her innocence. 

The chefs walked in with platters filled with food. After hearing about Minhyun's surprise guest, they quickly arranged for additional plates to be served. While in the kitchen, they overheard Minhyun's threats and knew about the severity of their situation. They had to provide the best food for the new miss. 

Today's menu consisted of full-blood Wagyu Tenderloin with a side of fresh greens and soup. The chefs placed the dishes in front of the two children and bowed slightly before returning to their stations. 

Before taking a bite, Yoona clasped her hands together into a prayer. She shut her eyes. "Thank you for the wonderful food and my new friend. Amen!" 

She wasn't religious, but it was a habit she picked up from her father. Before coming to the mansion to stay with her mother, she lived with him in an apartment. 

Yoona picked up her utensils and tried to dig in. The key word was tried. Due to her lack of knowledge in utensil use, she was unable to hold the knife properly to cut her steak. Minhyun worried for her safety. The knife was sharp, the blade decorated with smaller sharp edges to grab the meat. He didn't want to risk the potential of her getting hurt. 

Minhyun chuckled nervously. "I'll help you." He took the utensils from her hand. With the knife in his right and fork in his left, he cut the tender meat into small chunks for her to enjoy. After he was finished, he gave the knife to one of the workers, before placing the fork back into her hand. "Here you go. Now you can eat without any problems." 

"Thank you Mini," she said in awe. "That was so adult-like. Really, really cool." 

He nodded while the left corner of his lip lifted. The praises made him want to cut a hundred steaks. "You're welcome." 

Since he was older than her by three years, this was the least he could do. 

Yoona enjoyed her meal. When she bit into the tender meat, the flavors would burst in her mouth. Of course, the taste had to be splendid due to its price-tag of two hundred dollars, but she wasn't aware of the money. She evaluated it the same as any other dish. 

"So Yoona," Minhyun began. 

Like a chipmunk, her cheeks were filled with food. "Yes?" 

"Tell me more about yourself." 

Although they spoke in the garden, Minhyun knew very little about the girl in front of him. He wanted to know more. He was far more interested in learning who 'Yoona' is than learning about the business analytics of his father's company. This was the first time he showed such curiosity. 

Streams of questions whizzed through Yoona's mind. What should she say? There were so many things she wanted to tell him! She was excited to share stories about her life with her friend. 

"Well," she began. She started with a basic introduction. "I'm six-years-old, I attend Golden State Elementary, and I like puppies!" 

So, she attended school like most kids. 

Minhyun couldn't help but feel curious about her experience in school. Due to his genius nature and status as an heir, he was not allowed to attend regular school. His father did not approve of the education system in Korea. He said that the students in Korea were below him and the teachers weren't smart enough to teach. Instead of allowing him to have teachers, father demanded that he self-teach himself. Every month, he was given a new set of textbooks to learn from and was tested at the end to see the amount of knowledge he retained. The tests were usually around 3 - 4 hours long for each subject, created by the smartest brains of his father's company. 

This studying method made Minhyun independent. The exact traits his father was building him up as the next heir. 

"School? Tell me about school," he asked. He leaned closer to her with curious eyes. 

Different memories of her school life played in her mind. "Well, I just graduated from kindergarten and since it's summer, grade one hasn't started yet, but in kindergarten, I was in the Butterfly class. There's around thirty other friends in the same room as me. We do a lot of stuff like learning Korean, playing games, and reading books! I liked kindergarten. It was really fun." 

Minhyun couldn't believe it. Thirty different kids like him in the same room? That was a dream come true! It was hard for him to meet thirty people while living in this house. To imagine a big friend group made his brain dizzy. To think that another happy world existed outside of these walls. He wanted to quickly escape. 

Once he turned twelve, Minhyun's father promised to enroll him to an academy in New York. He was counting down the days until then. As the top school in the world, prided in educating the world's wealthiest students, it was the only school worthy of his title. 

"Wow," he commented. "That sounds like so much fun." 

Yoona nodded in agreement before stabbing her fork into a piece of meat. After placing it in her mouth and chewing, she began to speak. "Yeah, it is! I remember one time, my friend Donghyuk was playing tag with the rest of us and he fell into a big puddle. He was the color of poo till the end of the day. Stinky like one too." 

Little giggles escaped from her mouth as she recalled the incident. It was one of the funniest days of her life. 

While she was laughing, Minhyun stood there in silence. His eyebrows were furrowed while in deep thought. He found Yoona's story funny too, but there was a single aspect that he didn't understand. What was this 'tag'? Any child in the world would know of the game, but he had no idea. Minhyun didn't grow up playing with others. He spent his time studying and reading. 

"What is tag?" He asked. 

Yoona widened her eyes and she raised her hands up in the air. "You don't know what tag is? What kid doesn't know tag?" For a moment, Yoona thought that Minhyun was playing tricks; however, his eyes showed no mischief. 

"I-I don't know what it is." 

When she realized he truly did not know, a grin appeared on her face. She jumped out of her seat and hit his shoulder hard with her hand. 

Minhyun grabbed his arm. "Ow!" 

"Tag you're it!" Before the other workers could reprehend her for hitting their master, the young girl ran to the end of the table. She stuck out her tongue and shook her bottom. "Catch me if you can Mini." 

A smirk danced on his lips. After her taunting, he quickly understood the rules of the game. He was supposed to touch her with his hands. Ignoring the warm steak on his plate, he ran after her. The two went into frenzy as they tried to catch one another by running in circles around the tables. 

One of the maids was about the feint. The young master was running around. He could get hurt! There were antiques and other valuables in the room. Nonetheless, none of them had the heart to stop the two kids from having fun. Minhyun was enjoying the game too much. 

After the two finishing their game and the cold lunch, they continued to play for hours. Minhyun showed her around the house, introducing her to the different rooms. With another person, his mundane daily activities became more exciting. The monotone house brightened, and he never realized how colorful his surroundings were. 

While they played around, his threats spread throughout the other workers. By the end of the day, everyone knew not to mess with the young master and the little girl. No worker dared to call the boss about the special intruder. Minhyun was going to own the company at one point. To make him an enemy was wishing for death.

“Did you offer to let me live at your house for my safety or because you had other intentions?”

Minhyun stared at her with a playful smile on his face. “If I were to be honest, I would say both.”

“It’s like... Wait... What?! I was joking! What other intentions are you talking about?!?” Yoona widened her eyes in the midst of her sentence. Did she just hear what he said?

He fixed his tie. “Its a secret.”

“Mini!”

—-

When he was a child, Minhyun had nobody to lean on. His days were filled with darkness.

That is, until he met Yoona. After they became friends, he smiled for the first time in a long time. Every night, he felt excitement in his chest for the next day to come. She brought the foreign feeling of happiness in his heart and was able to heal his loneliness.

However, the cold reality of this world separated the two children. One becoming darker than he once was, and the other struggled to make end's meet.

After fifteen years, the childhood friends meet again as adults. Yoona becomes a university student, while Minhyun overtakes his father as the CEO of MH conglomerate, one of the biggest companies in the world. 

With newfound enemies and cold betrayals, would the two be able to find love? 

But most importantly of all, will they be able to help each other heal the demons of their pasts?

[Happy ending and not too melodramatic like most stories]

When Lucid had agreed to shoot the ad for the public library, the institute's chairman had promised to get him something he wished for. Although the children's personal activities had to be agreed upon by the teachers in charge of them, the ad had to be presented in a way that appeared to be of Lucid's own volition, in order to avoid any legal troubles later on. As such, the chairman wished to give him something of equal value to the pay Lucid would have received as a model, and Lucid had asked for books. This turned into a bit of a headache for the chairman and the director of administration, since they couldn't quite decide how many books to buy to even things out. That's when the public library had proposed a rather clever idea: working together to improve the city's welfare, just in time for the autumn exhibition. In this case, "working together" simply meant building a library within the institute, which would then be presented as a part of the city's efforts in bettering their community. The institute had jumped on this opportunity, and plans were made to vacate an area on the first floor, next to the administrative office. And just like that, right before the beginning of winter break, the institute library was opened, filled with roughly three thousand books suited for all ages, from kindergarten to high school.

For Lucid, it was much, much better than getting the couple of books he had originally intended. Ever since the library was made available two days ago, he had rushed to get there right after dinner and stayed until bedtime. Still, as with most libraries, the majority of the books only dealt with basic sciences and literatures, which he could borrow from the school library anyway, rather than the more advanced academic papers Lucid wished to read. Though this was a rather huge disappointment, he still decided to read the other books available to him. After all, it couldn't hurt to learn about different fields. With this newfound determination, he looked forward to his evening reading time every day.

Being so excited over the new facility, Lucid didn't notice the two figures watching him from down the hall. The director of administration turned to the teacher standing next to him.

"Has he ever mentioned his parents or his previous institute at all?" he asked.
"No, never."
"Hmm. That might become a problem."

Having personally taken care of Lucid's documents for his enrollment in elementary school, the director knew better than anyone that there was nothing wrong with him, at least on paper. With the library ad and the TV program having both been released to the public, it was good that no one had shown up at the institute claiming to be his parents. However, the director also knew that it was only a matter of time before problems arose. For example, there was something brewing at this very moment that could get the institute into quite the legal trouble, should his parents actually decide to show up. Even if the child were to be adopted into another family, they would still face legal issues if the biological parents claimed him.

"We have some people coming in next week to meet him. You should tell him."
"Of course, I understand." the teacher nodded.

And still, Lucid paid the two no mind, smiling to himself as he learned about Newton and the law of universal gravity.

****

On the first weekend since the start of winter break, the institute found itself housing quite a few visitors, which wasn't unusual given the time of the year. As always, there were high school and university student volunteers, but with Christmas awakening everyone's humanitarianism, many others had sought out the institute as a way to help the community. The institute was quite the popular volunteering spot for those who didn't know any better, as they imagined themselves happily playing around with the children, but in reality, volunteers most often helped with the upkeep of the building itself. For example, they had to help clean the hallways or the atrium, wipe down all the windows, pull out weeds, wash curtains or blankets, or even repair broken chairs. In short, their main priority was cleaning, with repairs being the second priority.

As for the children, they spend their time running and playing around in the courtyard, which, unbeknownst to many of the volunteers, was something they enjoyed during very much. People easily thought of the children as just pitiful, lonely orphans in need of care and love, but they couldn't be more wrong. The children adjusted to their living situation just well enough and even went out to meet their friends. Sometimes, they would befriend the volunteers that came most often, but they were wary of newcomers and actually avoided them, choosing to play amongst themselves instead. Even the younger children (too young to play in the courtyard) preferred to play amongst themselves, rather than have older volunteers look after them.

"Over here!"
"Got it!"

Lucid, playing as the goalkeeper, kicked the ball with his right foot, and the children watched in awe as the ball shot through the field, much farther than expected from how softly he had kicked it. With his continued practice, Lucid had finally gotten the hang of it. He simply kicked the ball, without applying any magic, so that enough force would be exerted upon it. Right as the ball separated from his foot, that was when he would cast his magic, resulting in the ball flying out with reduced drag, thus conserving all the energy from his foot. Then, a couple of seconds later, the magic would vanish, just as he intended, allowing the air to slow the ball down once again. At this point, the ball would begin its downward trajectory, landing near the opposite goalpost. The children had been amazed at this at first, but now that they were used to it, they ran like crazy whenever Lucid kicked the ball.

As the children rushed to the other side of the field, Lucid spent some time thinking to himself. That's when a voice rang out from behind him.

"Aren't you cold?"

When Lucid turned around, he was faced with a familiar face, though he couldn't exactly recall why it was familiar.

"No, I'm fine." he answered curtly.

The other goalie was wearing a thick sweater, since goalkeepers didn't run around the field and were bound to get cold. However, Lucid was wearing a T-shirt, just like all the other kids running around. He had no need for thick outer clothing, since he was continuously casting magic (he had to renew it every so often, since it didn't last long) to warm himself in the cold weather. Plus, he didn't want a jacket or a sweater to dull his movements.

"Have we met before?" the familiar person asked again. "I feel like I've seen you before."

How could he know? She could have seen him on the library ad, or on that TV show.

"Maybe you've come here before." That was also an option.
"Oh, yeah. Maybe."

The girl looked up at the sky, trying hard to remember. It was a beautiful sky, so clear and blue without a cloud in sight.

"I remember!" she said at last. "I saw you last year, I think. That's how I know you."

The girl, Jiwon, had finally recalled their meeting long ago.

"I asked you for your name, remember? But you didn't tell me. Wow, you haven't changed a bit! Still as dashing as ever, I see." She caught herself on that last bit and cleared her throat awkwardly, chiding herself for not thinking before speaking. "A-Anyway, are you still not going to tell me? Your name, I mean. Oh, do you know my name? I'm Jiwon. Jiwon Yang. Like the singer."

When Lucid told her his name, Jiwon burst out laughing.

"What's up with that? It... It suits you really well!" she managed to say between giggles. It didn't sound sincere at all, which didn't bother Lucid. He simply made up his mind to ask the chairman why he had chosen the name he had.

"Do you like soccer?" Jiwon asked, pointing to the courtyard. "You don't look like you're having fun."
"I do. I just don't feel like playing right now. I'm only here because I had no other choice."
"What do you mean?"
"They're cleaning the library."

Indeed, four volunteers were turning the new library upside down and inside out, cleaning out every nook and cranny. The chairman had grumbled (in passing) something about reading spaces needing to be spotless, but the volunteers had taken his words to heart and were now hellbent on actually turning it spotless.

"You really like reading, don't you? What kind of books do you read?"
"Stop him!!" Cheol-yong cried out.

Lucid had been watching the game all throughout his conversation with Jiwon and was already prepared to receive the ball without needing prompting. With a loud thump, the ball flew towards him. Right at him, actually, which made it all too easy to block, especially with Lucid's hidden trick. When it reached about two paces in front of him, the ball lost considerable speed, and by the time it reached Lucid's hands, he was able to catch it with barely any effort. Looking up, he saw Myeong-su frantically waving his hands at him.

"Wow, you're pretty good," Jiwon remarked, clapping her hands. Lucid was growing rather bored of this conversation, if it could even be called that. How could this line of questioning be called a proper conversation?

"Excuse me." He said at last. "Aren't you busy?"
"Not really. Why?"
"Most volunteers have a lot of work on their hands and they don't usually stand around to talk to us."
"I think talking to you is also pretty important work, though."
"Why would talking to me, or rather us, be work?" Lucid asked, turning around to face her directly.
"What?"

Lucid's sudden change in mood caught Jiwon by surprise. He wasn't glaring at her, nor was he angry with her. He was just looking at her, expressionless, and that scared her. She had just been thinking that he was better looking than most celebrities, but now, he reminded her more of the Mouth of Truth, looking into her soul and demanding answers. But she couldn't bring herself to speak, and when he saw that she wouldn't provide an answer to his question, Lucid turned around again. Knowing that she couldn't talk to him again, Jiwon fidgeted a bit before going back inside.

Lucid watched as the other kids ran around the courtyard. Up until now, he hadn't really thought of himself as being on the same boat as them. Myeong-su was a good friend, yes, but that was all. They had no shared life experiences. However, other people thought of them as the same, and this realization only now hit him. There was only one reason for this perception: they were both orphans. Still, Lucid didn't think he was. Sure, his father had passed away, but his mother was alive and well. She was just gone, for now. Along with his brother. This is why he didn't think of himself as an orphan. He had a family. He just had to find them again. And yet...

"What am I doing here?"

He now understood that if he continued to delay, he would really end up like the other children, orphaned forever, and this chilled him to the bone. Though his magic was still actively warming him, he began to shiver uncontrollably.


<Clash (7)> End.

A boy who was living an ordinary life in another world suddenly came to the present world.

Social systems, way of life and morals... They have all changed.

How will the boy try to survive?

What kind of life will the boy live?

Reb's P.O.V.
*****Flashback*****
I was walking back home from school today because mom and dad were out of town for a week and I insisted Margaret should not send the driver to pick me up. It was a fine day; one could walk around with ease without having to worry about the sun and its heat. My school wasn't too far away from home and I had anyhow memorized the way back home from school. When I told Kate yesterday about how I troubled Margaret so that she wouldn't send the driver to pick me up from school, she became all excited and said she would accompany me after school. She called me later that evening to inform me how she convinced her mother and father to let her come home with me. 
You wouldn't believe the sacrifice she made for this. It was so humorous. She promised her mother that she wouldn't use her expensive makeup behind her back if she lets her walk back home on her own just for this one day. You would think that this was so lame. But it was a huge sacrifice from her side considering how much she loves the makeup especially her mom's expensive branded cosmetics. I can't blame her for her love for makeup. Man, we were 10 and all those big girl things fascinate every girl at this time. It's like we suddenly want to step into the big girl shoes at the age of just then. 
So, was the case with Kate. But Kate and I never had the same thoughts about this. She was fascinated by all these things right from the start but I was more into books. Books fascinated me right from when I was a baby. My mom tells me how I played more with books than with the toys when I was just some months old. I was a quick learner as she tells me. When other children were busy learning the sounds and phonetics, I started reading the initial letters of the alphabets. You must be thinking I was quite smart. Trust me, I know (laughing).     
But this smartness didn't take me too far even though I have always been the topper of my class. Everyone would think that I must have been very popular at my school because of my smartness but I want to tell you that you are thinking wrong. I was only popular among the teachers and all the other students used to hate me. I guess beauty has always been more appreciated than the brains in this society of mean people. 
I have always been bullied because of my weight and the big glasses that I wear. Even being the daughter of a millionaire and the trustee of the school didn't help me. The bullying became so frequent that I got used to it to a level. I still remember the first time it started we were in kindergarten. The teacher was teaching us the word fat with examples when one girl from my class was asked to repeat what the teacher was telling. I can quote exactly what she said then. I remember her each and every word even now after so many years not because I hear that very often now and I've got used to it but because it was the first time and it hurt me so bad that I went home and cried for hours that day. 
When I told my mom the reason why I was crying so hard she got so furious that she immediately called the principal. The parents of that girl were called the next day and she was scolded and then she had to come and politely apologize to me. I guess that made her despise me even more than she already did. She started rousing everybody to do the same as her. It soon turned into bullying. I complained once, I complained twice. But when it started happening every day, I realized I can't complain every day about everyone. I understood I had no other option but to come to terms with the fact that I am not liked by the other students in this school. I realized the fact that beauty matters more than the brain. This world runs by the motto that you ought to be beautiful to survive in this world no matter if you are brainless. They want beauty even if it comes without brains.
I had somehow learned to deal with all this and that was by ignoring everybody. But sometimes it would get so worse that I would actually start hating God and blame him for making me so ugly. I even considered changing school but then thought it would be the same everywhere, ugly people are never welcomed anywhere. I know, it wasn't right, I know I shouldn't have blamed God or think so low of myself but I am not to be blamed for this. I had no friends to turn to or to share my problems with. Anybody who would say even a hello to me would be boycotted so nobody would even stop by to at least say hello to me or to smile my way, forget about being friends with me. I used to question God every time I visited the church if I am so ugly to even have a friend.  
I couldn't even tell my parents about it. I know they would get so angry at those kids but more than that they would be so worried about me. I couldn't trouble them for things I know I can handle on my own. Moreover, I didn't want others to know about this. I didn't want my relatives to feel sorry or pity for me. I was never a person who could vent out their feelings so easily. I had accepted my fate and the pain but I never once let that show on my face. I have always been a happy-go-lucky girl for I knew I was blessed no matter what others have to say about it because I had such wonderful and loving parents who would go to the earth's end to make me happy and a family who I loved dearly. The only thing I ever prayed for was to have a best friend.
But I wasn't aware of the fact that God had actually answered my prayers. I didn't know it then that soon I was about to meet a girl who would be the answer to all my prayers.

"How come you never told me you could drive? Who taught you to drive?" 

"One of my ex-boyfriends," she said.

"How many did you have?"

The transmission of basic combat instinct was very simple. Lin Sheng only needed to recall the memory of the corrupted swordsman in combat, and the transmission was completed.
Last time the basic combat instinct was passively transmitted to him under the influence of ritual. This time was different.
Lin Sheng only replicated the basic combat instinct of the corrupted swordsman, excluding other irrelevant memories, so it was much faster than last time.
Five minutes later...
Two corrupted swordsmen knelt on one knee and crouched in front of Lin Sheng, waiting for orders.
"Dissipation, and patrol the neighborhood," Lin Sheng said calmly.
"Yes." The two corrupted swordsmen immediately turned into black smoke and dispersed away.
He named that ability to turn into black smoke Dissipation. And the two corrupted swordsmen, who copied the memory of the basic combat instinct from Lin Sheng, understood it.
"I'm worried about a shortage of men for security. Corrupted swordsmen are weak, but they have the ability of Dissipation, which can play a greater role in security. But now these swordsmen are no longer rotten, shouldn't be called corrupted swordsmen. Let's call them Blackfeather swordsmen, after all, I met them in Blackfeather City."
Lin Sheng then began to clean up the remaining materials.
He skillfully destroyed all traces, carried his schoolbag, and walked back quickly.
The two Blackfeather swordsmen turned into black smoke and followed him, floating ten meters around him.
The black smoke moved so fast and dispersed that it was almost imperceptible to the average person.
Lin Sheng hailed a taxi, and the two Blackfeather swordsmen rushed into his chest.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Sheng reached home. He put the remaining materials away, changed his clothes, and then left a Blackfeather swordsman to patrol the Huilian neighborhood to protect his family.
Another Blackfeather swordsman was sent to patrol the neighborhood where his father worked. It was close to the Blackwater district. Accidents could happen anytime.
As for mom, he did not worry too much. It was a fully enclosed kindergarten with no contact with the outside world. Even gangsters did not usually hurt kids. It was not just a matter of morality or condemnation, it was a matter of reputation.
How could you bully a toddler?? It was a lifetime of shame.
So Lin Sheng believed that kindergarten was actually the safest place.
"Blackfeather swordsmen have a normal body size, not eye-catching and easy to hide." Lin Sheng suddenly found the real use of Blackfeather swordsmen. This kind of swordsman makes the best bodyguard.
They were strong and powerful. In reality, they could pretend to be ordinary people, perfect for protecting family and friends. And they did not have to eat, drink, sleep or rest, just need to take care of their injuries if they had one. With careful use of Dissipation, these Blackfeather swordsmen were even immune to bullets.
"I should summon more Blackfeather swordsmen to be my eyes and bodyguards in the future. As long as I have enough Blackfeather swordsmen, I can know everything that happens in Huaisha."
Summoning consumed much of his energy. He ate the instant noodles quickly, then washed up and went to bed.
With the Sacred Shield Tyrant and two Blackfeather swordsmen patrolling and protecting nearby, Lin Sheng felt an unprecedented sense of security.
He slept soundly that night. In his dream, he did nothing else but sit in his room and study the books on the shelves.
After reading the Summoner's Grimoire, he also wanted to master the Deviltongue.
Lin Sheng just got the spiritual practice materials, and the new Ashen Seal needed to be absorbed, so he decided to turn the present harvest into ability first.
So he studied all night.
The next morning, Lin Sheng finally went to school.
Perhaps because his soul was getting stronger and stronger, his memory was much better than before. He only needed to read a text of several thousand words once or twice to remember and understand it thoroughly.
In one morning, Lin Sheng had done most of the paper. These types of questions were not difficult for an adult mind like his, and his problem was that it took time to memorize things. Now that this problem had also been solved.
After finishing the paper, Lin Sheng still had a lot of free time, so he closed his eyes to meditate on the new Ashen Seal – Furious Roar.
When he was tired, he practiced holy power. The basic practice of holy power was to sink the consciousness into the warm part of the abdomen, then empty one's mind and relax.
Every time Lin Sheng woke up, he felt like he just had a good sleep, and feeling refreshed.
*Brring…*
The school bell rang.
The physics teacher took off his glasses and said, "Well, that's all for today's class. Class representative, come and get the holiday homework."
The classroom was immediately filled with complaints.
"Teacher, the holiday is so short and we still need to do homework. We can't even rest!"
"Teacher, other subjects have no homework!"
The physics teacher chuckled. "Because you all don't have other homework to do, so I think I need to give you some pressure."
Lin Sheng sat in his seat. His body was so fit that his muscles were accentuated through his school uniform. Now he almost had the physique of a professional boxer.
Lin Sheng's eyes swept through the class. All the students who met his eyes lowered their heads with a trace of fear.
Since the last time he lectured the guy who liked Shen Yan, the story had spread around the school. So now most students did not dare to mess with him.
Shen Yan, sitting in front of him, turned and complained, "What's wrong with you? Why do you keep skipping school? I can't keep lying for you!"
"I just have something to deal with," Lin Sheng said with a smile. "Thank you so much. I'll treat you to a big meal next time."
"Next time? When? Just set a date!"
"Tomorrow, then? In the afternoon? Are you free?" Lin Sheng asked.


This is a story of an ordinary boy gaining unusual powers from his nightmares... It all started when Lin Sheng experienced something strange on what he thought was just another normal day. He begins to have recurring dreams that lead him on an incredible journey of discovery as he encounters spine-chilling monsters and elusive secrets.
