Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

On the mountain at dusk.

A light was on in a bungalow, and plumes of smoke rose from a large iron pot in the yard.

Rumble...

A motorcycle taxi drove into the mountain road and stopped in front of the courtyard.

Before Chen Jianji even got out of the car, he shouted at the woman in the yard who was holding a spatula and wearing an apron.

"Mom, we're back!"

Wang Suling had already heard the noise and looked over.

"You're back?"

"Help Xinyi hold on a bit. She lives in the city, and the road there isn't as steep as this."

Chen Jianji was speechless.

"Mom, why don't you just say that she's from the city and has never ridden a motorcycle before?"

As he spoke, he reached out to help Zhang Xinyi get out of the car first.

Snapped!

His hand was slapped away.

Zhang Xinyi snorted.

"There are motorcycles in the city too, how ignorant!"

As she spoke, she slowly lifted her leg and got out of the car.

Chen Jianji looked at her to make sure she was standing firmly.

Then he opened his mouth towards Wang Suling.

"Mom, she said you didn't...uh...uh!!"

With a dark expression, Zhang Xinyi practically dragged Chen Jianji off the back of the motorcycle.

She realized her mistake as soon as she said it.

We were just watching out for that bastard's trick.

I can't believe he actually came!

at this time.

The motorcycle taxi driver was clearly a familiar face in the village. Upon seeing this, he chuckled and said something to Wang Suling in the yard.

"You two kids get along really well."

"Yeah?"

Wang Suling smiled too.

Until the motorcycle taxi driver left.

Zhang Xinyi finally let go of her hand and pouted.

"Who is close to him?"

Chen Jianji glared at her.

Just as he was about to speak.

Then Wang Suling's voice came through.

"You brat, it won't hurt you to say a few words to you. What's wrong with letting Xinyi have her way?"

Chen Jianji turned around in surprise.

"Mom, I haven't even said anything yet!"

Wang Suling turned around and flipped the spatula without turning her head.

"The moment you open your mouth, I know you're up to no good!"

"Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat."

Chen Jianji was speechless.

"Mom, I'm suing you for defamation!"

"Go ahead and sue me."

Wang Suling completely ignored him.

Zhang Xinyi picked up her schoolbag, tilted her chin slightly, and stepped forward.

"snort!"

She let out a disdainful snort.

He even deliberately bumped into Chan Kin-kei's shoulder before walking away!

It's utterly provocative!

Chen Jianji watched her cheerful and smug figure, almost jumping and skipping.

I'm so angry I could grind my teeth.

Fine, he's the one with the lowest status in this family now!

"Woof woof!"

suddenly.

In the distant mountains and forests, a small figure squeezed through the branches.

Her originally cute and fierce shouts changed the moment she saw Chen Jianji.

The little body ran over quickly.

Until Chen Jianji's feet were jumping wildly.

It tumbled and fell several times.

It kept making "humming" sounds.

Chen Jianji squatted down, stroked the puppy's head which kept nuzzling into his palm, and chuckled.

"It's alright, we're not the lowest in status, right, Xiao Huang?"

Xiao Huang seemed to want to comfort him after hearing this.

She stuck out her tongue and kept moving it towards his face.

"Okay, okay."

Wang Suling, who was busy at work, glanced at it briefly and found it somewhat amusing.

"You brat, I have to give you a heads-up."

Chen Jianji, who was playfully fighting with Xiao Huang, looked over.

"What?"

"A lot of chicken manure has been dumped on the back hill these past few days as fertilizer."

"So what?"

Chen Jianji was puzzled.

A strange smile appeared on Wang Suling's face.

Chen Jianji's heart skipped a beat.

"These past few days, Xiao Huang has been going there a lot too."

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally died!

Chen Jianji kicked Xiao Huang away.

"Go away, don't follow me!"

"I want to take a shower!"

"Xinyi is going to shower first, you can do it later."

"Ah!! I don't want to!!"

Chen Jianji shouted.

"Alright, just go wash yourself at the tap over there. You're such a grown man, why are you throwing a tantrum? Aren't you ashamed?"

Wang Suling laughed and scolded him as she threw him a towel.

"Alright!"

Chen Jianji took it, and with a smile, ran happily to the other side of the yard.

On the mountain.

The bright lights in the courtyard illuminated the rising smoke from the chimneys.

The woman in the apron was flipping the pot with a spatula.

Students in school uniforms were washing their hands, feet, and faces nearby.

Rumble.

The familiar sound of a motorcycle engine rang out.

The puppy quickly ran to the middle of the mountain path, raised its tail and wagged it happily.

It seemed to be welcoming its owner.

Chen Jianji lowered his head, letting the cool mountain spring water wash over his head.

He smelled the aroma of food and heard the familiar sound of motorcycles.

There were also the sounds of insects and birds in the mountains.

Oh right, and there's also Little Yellow splashing around in the puddles with its tiny feet.

It's nice to be home.

This feeling of being able to be a child again.

How I miss it!

"Alright, Jianji, you're almost done washing. Your dad's back with the workers."

"Could you please bring the bowls, chopsticks, and chairs out to the yard and serve the food to your uncle and aunt?"

"Okay!"

Chen Jianji turned off the tap and wiped his head with a towel.

Then they went back inside and moved the tables, chairs, and benches out one by one.

"Mom, how many people?"

Chen Jianji asked as he filled disposable bowls and chopsticks with rice.

Wang Sujuan also used a large basin to hold the vegetables.

"Our family, plus your Uncle Zhang, and one or two others..."

She counted them briefly.

"Eight people, pack more, they do manual labor, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat."

"Is there still tea? Have you brewed it?"

Chen Jianji was busy working while complaining.

"You expect me to do chores as soon as I come back? If I didn't come back, who would you hire to do the work?"

Wang Sujuan also laughed.

"Then why would I have raised you all these years?"

"Isn't it just something to be used?"

"This Xinyi, taking such a long shower, I suspect she deliberately waited for us to finish our work so she could eat right away."

"Stop being so sarcastic. She's already showered, what else is she going to do? She'll just make it dirty again. Hurry up!"

"oh!"

...

The two were busy with their own things, but they still made time to chat occasionally.

Until several motorcycles stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

Wang Sujuan was stir-frying vegetables in the kitchen when she called out.

"Jianji, go and tell everyone to wash their hands and eat."

"Okay!"

When Chen Jianji finished packing the last two bowls of rice and carried them out of the yard...

I was just about to speak.

You can see your father, Chen Guochang, leading a group of people in, chatting and laughing as they walk in.

Chen Jianji stared at the two people sandwiched in the crowd, and froze on the spot.

My whole body stiffened instantly.

His lips, which were already poised to open and close, unconsciously produced a sound.

"dad..."

......
