Why did you provoke me?

Jiang Mingfeng woke up the next morning. Li Yiqing was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.

"Cousin," Jiang Mingfeng greeted.

"Dali has been discharged from the hospital. I'll take you home today, and then I'll go see Dali." He paused for a moment, then continued, "I also need to explain this to the two elders."

"Ah, when did you leave? Why didn't you call me?" He turned and walked towards the door.

"Mingfeng, let's go together after we finish eating." Li Yiqing called out to Jiang Mingfeng, who was about to leave.

"Cousin, let's grab something to eat in the car. I want to go back and check on Dali," Jiang Mingfeng said, standing at the door and looking at Li Yiqing, without coming back.

"It's only a little while longer. Let's finish our meal before we leave," Li Yiqing insisted.

Sitting at the dining table, Jiang Mingfeng only drank half a bowl of porridge before putting down his chopsticks. "Cousin, hurry up."

Seeing Jiang Mingfeng's anxious expression, Li Yiqing sighed inwardly. He didn't know what kind of problems awaited him at the Yu family, but Jiang Mingfeng clearly hadn't considered this. "Forget it," he thought, "the current situation is already difficult enough for him."

Yu Meng and her group returned to the shop in town.

"Uncle, Aunt, you're back. Sister Dali, you're back too! Where's your husband?" Zhao Changjiu hurriedly greeted them upon their return. "Boss Wei from the street said he acquired some good material yesterday. Haizi went to check it out and should be back soon."

"Changjiu, have you been busy these past few days? Has anything happened?" Aunt Yu hurriedly asked about the situation at the shop.

"Nothing happened, everything is fine. In fact, a few people came because of Sister Dali's reputation," Zhao Changjiu said cheerfully.

"Dad, Mom, eldest sister, you go upstairs first. I want to say a few words to them," Yu Meng said to her father.

A short while later, Yu Hai returned, carrying a box in his hand.

"Hey, little sister, you're back! Are Mom and Dad back too?"

Yu Meng nodded, "Even my eldest sister came back." She then called the two of them over, told them about Dali, and instructed them on how to respond.

"How is your older sister now? Is she completely recovered?" Yu Hai asked Yu Meng anxiously.

"alright."

"That's good, little sister, don't worry, I know what to say." Yu Hai said with a big smile. Zhao Changjiu patted his chest and said, "I'm the same as Hai Zi."

"Oh, by the way, I asked you to ask Zhao Changsheng for leave. How many days did you ask for?"

Yu Hai replied, "Taking away the time for the round trip, I thought you would stay in the city for at least three days, and Brother Changsheng would need to rest after you come back. Therefore, I took seven days off."

Yu Meng nodded, turned around and went up to the two-story building. She was going to see her eldest sister.

When Yu Meng arrived at Dali's room, Dali wasn't asleep. She was sitting in a chair by the table, her eyes fixed on the black line on the table.

"Big sister, the most important thing for you to do right now is to rest. With me here, this problem won't run away."

Dali turned around, "Little sister, come here quickly. How come your line is so strong? That black line is being crushed by your line."

Yu Meng sat in the chair. "I practiced for a long time to achieve this effect."

"I will work even harder in the future and make sure I keep up with my little sister's pace," Dali said, but her eyes never left the black lines on the table.

Yu Meng looked at Dali, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke. "Big sister. You know, I was young back then and didn't know what these lines meant, so I unintentionally absorbed them into my mind."

Dali turned around. "I know, but what does it matter?"

Yu Meng looked at her. "Don't you want to go back?"

"Why do you want it back? I feel safe leaving it with you." Dali's expression was full of doubt.

Yu Meng truly didn't understand this time.

"Oh dear, little sister. Think about it, if it weren't for this thread, could you have saved me?" Dali asked.

Yu Meng nodded, "Sure, it's just a bit troublesome."

This time it was Dali's turn to be dumbfounded. "Oh, really? Can I learn this method?"

Yu dreamed about it. "It's not impossible, but it's extremely difficult."

Dali slammed her hand on the table. "If I can do it, that's good enough. What's there to be afraid of? I'll just practice more."

"Big sister, you still haven't told me why you don't want those two lines to go back?"

Dali looked at her amusedly, "Would you harm me? Would you steal my things?"

Yu Meng shook her head; she really didn't know how to do these things.

"That settles it then. The reason we have several people carrying our house keys is so that if one of them loses their key, someone else can still get in. Having the keychain with you is an extra layer of security." Dali asked Yu Meng triumphantly, "What do you think of my idea? Isn't it brilliant?"

Yu Meng hadn't expected her older sister's reason to be so simple and practical. A thought struck her, "Big sister, how about I put one of my lines with you too?"

Dali glanced at Yu Meng, then at the black line on the table, swallowed hard, and cautiously asked, "I haven't subdued this black line yet. If you give me another one, will I faint again?"

"Ah, well, I'm not too sure either. Why don't you try mine first, and then get this black one?" Yu Meng asked tentatively.

Dali really wanted to nod. But reason told her that her younger sister's features were definitely extraordinary, because her talent was too high.

"Little sister, no rush. Let me practice with this black line first. Once I feel comfortable, I'll try yours." Dali didn't refuse Yu Meng's suggestion. She thought it was a good idea. As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. It's perfectly fine for someone to have one of their own lines with someone else. Besides, they are sisters, and neither of them would harm the other.

Yu Meng thought that if it weren't for his own Dali-like features, it would probably have taken a lot of effort to wake Dali up.

Besides, with so many lines on her body, leaving them outside the body is still leaving them, and leaving them with Dali would be more discreet.

When Li Yiqing and Jiang Mingfeng arrived in town, it was already dark. Jiang Mingfeng didn't go home at all and went straight to Yu Meng's shop.

"Little sister, is your eldest sister here? I need to go see how she is." Jiang Mingfeng's face was a little pale, and he glanced at Yu Meng cautiously.

Yu Meng looked up at him, then turned to look at the stairs. "Thank you, little sister." Jiang Mingfeng was overjoyed; he knew this little sister was sensible.

Following behind, Li Yiqing saw Jiang Mingfeng go upstairs so easily and couldn't help but look at Meng with new respect. There was no difficulty, no complaint, and certainly no desperate crying or cursing.

"Did you drive him back especially for him?" Yu Meng asked Li Yiqing.

"It was just on the way; since your sister had this happen, I had to come and explain things to you."

"Perfect timing, I also want to know what happened." Yu Meng glanced at him again, "Have you guys eaten?"

"I'm actually a bit hungry. This morning, Mingfeng only drank half a bowl of porridge and then dragged me along as we hurried back." Li Yiqing found a chair and sat down.
