The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

In the backyard of No. 93, next to the wooden table in the main house on the left, Li Xiaoxiao and Zhang Xiaohua flanked Li Kai on either side.

"Li Kai, how can you be so stupid? You even got this question wrong!" Zhang Xiaohua pointed at the mistake in the notebook with her pencil and tapped it.

Li Kai glanced at the wrong answers, scratched his head and muttered, "Xiao Hua, don't be so harsh. I was just a little careless."

"Careless? Count how many mistakes you made this afternoon. I don't even want to talk to you anymore."

Zhang Xiaohua put the pen on the table and poked his head with her finger.

Li Xiaoxiao, watching from the side, burst out laughing.

Already feeling annoyed, Li Kai immediately glared at Li Xiaoxiao: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny!"

"Li Kai, you're the one who's stupid, but you won't let me laugh?" Li Xiaoxiao pouted, showing no intention of indulging him.

Li Kai was furious. He stood up abruptly: "Li Xiaoxiao, you..."

"Sit down!" Zhang Xiaohua slammed her hand on the table, glaring at him fiercely. "Li Kai, do you still want me to tutor you?"

"Xiaohua, don't be angry, don't be angry!" Li Kai immediately backed down, quickly sitting back on the stool with a fawning smile.

"You can continue, I promise I won't say anything more."

Zhang Xiaohua snorted, picked up her pencil again, and pointed to the wrong problem in her notebook, about to explain how to solve it.

The door was suddenly opened, and Li Kaixin walked in from outside.

He glanced around the room and couldn't help but laugh: "Wow, it was quite lively just now!"

Li Kaixin had naturally heard the commotion inside from outside the door.

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Xiaohua, who was usually shy, had this side to her when she scolded Li Kai.

Li Kai immediately felt embarrassed: "Big brother, don't overthink it, we're just doing our homework."

"Really?" Li Kaixin walked to the table, looking at him with a half-smile. "But why did I hear someone being scolded like a grandson when I was at the door?"

Before Li Kai could react, Zhang Xiaohua's face turned red.

She put down her pencil and hurriedly explained, "Brother Kaixin, I...I just..."

"Xiaohua, thank you." Li Kaixin interrupted her with a smile, her tone gentle. "Xiaokai needs to be disciplined like this, otherwise he won't learn his lesson."

Zhang Xiaohua blushed even more, lowered her head, and twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, unsure of how to respond.

Li Kaixin stopped teasing her and turned to her younger sister, asking, "Xiaoxiao, it's almost six o'clock, where are Mom and Dad?"

"Big brother, Mom and Dad went to Grandma's house and won't be back today," Li Xiaoxiao replied, her pen still scribbling on her homework.

At this moment, Li Kai's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a grin: "Big brother, Mom and Dad said this morning that we should treat Xiao Hua well, don't you think?"

"Really?" Li Kaixin raised an eyebrow, looking at her younger brother with a hint of disbelief. "You're not just making this up to curry favor with Xiaohua, are you?"

He didn't trust Li Kai at all, mainly because the kid had too many criminal records.

"Brother, Li Kai wasn't lying this time."

Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, quickly looked up and took over the conversation:

"Xiaohua came over early this morning and bumped into our parents at the gate. When Mom saw that Xiaohua was tutoring Li Kai again, she let her eat here with us today."

Seeing this, Li Kai immediately straightened his back: "Big brother, did you hear that? This time I didn't make it up!"

"You brat, don't try to act all high and mighty here. Believe me or not, I'll make sure you watch us eat tonight." Li Kaixin glanced at him indifferently.

Li Kai didn't dare to say another word and immediately shrank back onto the stool.

Li Kaixin ignored him and looked at Zhang Xiaohua, her voice softening: "Xiaohua, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"No, no need." Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand hastily. "I'll be home soon, no need to trouble you, Kaixin-ge."

"Xiaohua, we're all family now, no need to be so formal!"

Sitting down, Li Kai couldn't help but chime in, turning to Li Kaixin with a fawning look: "Big brother, how about we do it the same way as last time?"

Li Kaixin originally wanted to scold her younger brother for being too careful with his words, but when her gaze swept over Zhang Xiaohua...

Seeing that she acquiesced, he didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

.......

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Liu Jianming and his group's car drove into the gate of the police station.

Upon hearing the commotion, Director Huang, Captain Chen, and several officers on duty emerged from their rooms.

They knew that Liu Jianming had led a group of men into the mountains to hunt today, and they all came to see if they had actually caught anything.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Wu Datong, Wang Yang, and Sun Erqiang jumped out of the back of the car.

They all had smiles on their faces.

Captain Chen saw them and immediately greeted them with a smile: "Little Sun, how was it today? Did you catch any prey?"

"Got it! Got it!"

Sun Erqiang nodded excitedly, turned to the back of the truck and pointed: "Captain Chen, there are three wild boars, one wild goat, and seven or eight pheasants and rabbits, all on the truck!"

"Wow! So many!" Captain Chen was taken aback and quickly walked to the back of the car that had just stopped.

But as soon as he glanced inside, his smile froze.

Inside the car, Liu Jianming was standing up, holding Zhou Anran's hand, and walking towards him.

Liu Jianming looked up and saw Captain Chen at the back of the car. He greeted him with a smile: "Captain Chen, we've caught quite a lot of game today. You're in for a treat tonight."

"You, you..." Captain Chen's eyes darted back and forth between the two men, unsure of what to say.

Zhou Anran blushed slightly, but didn't let go of his hand: "Uncle Chen, you didn't see wrong, Jianming and I are dating."

Captain Chen didn't seem particularly happy; instead, he sighed and fell silent.

Zhou Anran also noticed that Uncle Chen was acting strangely, so she immediately let go of Liu Jianming's hand and jumped out of the car.

"Uncle Chen, what's wrong?"

As she spoke, she jogged over to Captain Chen and grabbed his arm.

Captain Chen stared at the girl he had watched grow up, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Anran, listen to your uncle, you and Jianming aren't a good match, you should break up!"

The moment he finished speaking, the police station fell silent.

Sun Erqiang and his companions, who were about to come up to move the prey, were all stunned. Even Liu Jianming's movement of getting out of the car froze slightly.

"Uncle Chen, why is that?"

Zhou Anran looked puzzled. "Didn't you keep urging me to find a partner? Now that I've found one, why are you...?"

"Anran, I won't stop you from being with anyone, but Jianming..."

Before Captain Chen could finish speaking, Liu Jianming quickly stepped forward to interrupt, "Captain Chen, my feelings for An Ran are genuine. Please grant us your blessing!"

"Yes, Captain Chen!"

Sun Erqiang then came over and said, "Brother Liu is so young to have become the deputy captain. He must have a bright future ahead of him. Please agree."

Seeing this, Wu Datong and several other police officers on duty also joined in the persuasion.
