Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

Xingge pulled Lin Yuanshan's hand and pointed at Hongxia, saying:

"Come here, good boy, call me auntie."

Lin Yuanshan nodded obediently and said sweetly:

"aunt!"

Auntie my foot!

One of you dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it!

Wait, none of you are normal, none of you are wrong.

Impossible

Is there something wrong with me?

The bizarre scene before her eyes plunged Hongxia into deep self-doubt.

Chapter 68 The Emperor's Patience

Teacher DaMiao logged into her account as usual and then browsed the comment section.

Like a lion surveying its territory.

[Rational discussion: Why is there such a large gap in popularity between Teacher Miaomeng and her teammates?]

Killed!

[I'm a fan of Guitar Hero, and I came here because I heard there are really good drummers. Is this all?]

Shark! Shark! Shark!

What guitar hero? I heard that in a short period of time, he amassed a whopping 11 active fans, enough for two Tokyo Domes.

Just good luck!

snort!

Teacher DaMiao took a big bite of lemon and continued scrolling through the comments.

[Dear Meow Dream, I am the drummer from Shimokita who sent you a private message before.]

I'm sorry to bother you again.

The tips you gave us last time for increasing followers were very useful.

I've already taught it all to my socially anxious friend.

[Although she still hasn't dared to open a social media account, hehe~]

The reason I'm contacting you is because I've recently noticed that my sister is acting a bit strange.

It all started when she suddenly had a son...

Starry Night Livehouse.

"Little Mountain, I'll call you that from now on."

Something sticky and unsettling churned in Xingge's eyes.

Lin Yuanshan selectively ignored all of this.

This is the optimism of emperors!

"No problem, Mom."

He was just pretending to be someone else's son, which put him under no psychological pressure.

Back in the day, even the peerless hero Lü Bu was a servant of three masters.

Lin Yuanshan was forced to acknowledge a thief as his mother in order to survive, so what's the big deal!

"Xiaoshan, as a child of our family, you must master some practical business skills so that you can inherit the family business with Hongxia in the future."

For some reason, Lin Yuanshan felt that Xingge's "practical business skills" sounded somewhat familiar.

"What are business skills?"

"You'll understand once you learn. First, I'll show you the street where the livehouse is located."

Afterwards, led by Xingge, Lin Yuanshan strolled around the streets before returning to the interior of Fanxing.

"So, what did you discover?"

"Are there many shops under renovation on this street?"

"That's right, do you know why these stores were renovated?"

"Because they are all new residents?"

"No, because I've acquired them all."

As Xingge spoke, she opened her phone's map and brought up the live satellite feed.

“Like the store across the street, it used to be a livehouse too. They were always going against us. If we offered discounts, they would offer discounts too.”

“We invited a popular band, and they invited one too.”

"So they eventually disappeared."

Lin Yuanshan's temples throbbed.

What's with this strong boomerang-like feeling?

"Disappeared...what does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says, don't worry, no one died~"

That's precisely why it makes people even more worried!

All I did was explode once in front of you at an altitude of 10,000 meters, didn't I?

How did you get so twisted?

"And this place, the owner originally refused to move and was even prepared to ask for an exorbitant price."

"After I put a sack over his head and shoved his head into the mouth of a real lion once, he behaved himself."

So this is what "opening" means in "a lion's mouth"?!

"This place was the most difficult; the owner has some connections, but I wore a baseball cap and a mask,"

"When they were putting on a show, they threw a black backpack full of bricks into the crowd, and everything was fine."

Don't copy my ideas without batting an eye!

"So, after hearing so many business management tips, what have you learned, my child?"

Xingge's current tone is like that of a snake demon brainwashing the Calabash Brothers.

But Lin Yuanshan could only go along with her words:

"True business competition is often this simple and unpretentious."

“That’s true, but that’s not the point I’m trying to make. Hongxia, why don’t you explain it to your nephew?”

At the other end of the bar,

With vacant eyes, Hongxia let out a meaningless laugh while muttering to herself:

"Hehehehe, my sister's completely gone black. This must be a dream. I'm still half asleep. Hehehehe..."

"Never mind, your aunt has been a bit tired from band performances lately, so I'll do the talking."

Xingge continued in the same twisted tone as Lin Yuanshan had used before,

"As a qualified business operator, you must first abandon all humanity and imagine yourself as a beast. Do you understand?"

"Uh... I understand."

Lin Yuanshan, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat after being struck hard by the boomerang elbow, was covered in cold sweat.

"Don't take this lightly; it's a secret technique left by your father! Here's what you'll do: write a training report for me today. Hongxia, you write one too, and show it to me tomorrow!"

Xingge finished assigning tasks with satisfaction and then went to buy ingredients for dinner while humming a song.

To entertain his filial son who traveled back from the future, he had to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

After Xingge left, Hongxia threw down her pen with a "smack" and took Lin Yuanshan's hand.

"Lin, my sister is beyond saving, let's run!"

If he runs away, how can I get close to Boqi now? Should I slowly wear him down as a classmate?

Lin Yuanshan broke free from Hongxia's hand.

"Don't give up so easily, Hongxia. If even you give up, who else can save the store manager!"

"Coco, I'm completely out of options!"

"You still have me, don't you! What do you think I did just now was for?"

"What? So all that nonsense you just spouted was just for...?"

“That’s right, this is just a temporary measure. From now on, I will fight alongside you as your little nephew, no, your comrade-in-arms! After all, although the shopkeeper’s descent into darkness has nothing to do with me, my appearance is the trigger for her illness.”

"I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

Lin Yuanshan was moved by his own words at this point.

"So I can't just leave her alone!"

Hongxia was deeply moved.

She was almost ready to give up, but she never expected that Lin, a complete stranger, would go to such lengths for her and her sister!

What a gentle and kind person he is!

Lin is a saint with immeasurable merit!

The sun's rays shone upon the heart of Hongxia, which was riddled with wounds.

She was saved.

She has regained her energy!

"Student Lin!"

"Hongxia!"

The two men's hands were clasped tightly together for their shared "noble" goal.

The family restaurant marked the end of the band's routine gathering.

Hongxia explained to her companions:

"That's why Lin will call me aunt from now on. Please don't be surprised."

Kita's face was full of worry:

"But how exactly do you seniors hope to awaken the shop manager's conscience?"

Hongxia shook her head helplessly.

"I do not know either."

Liang asked while munching on fries:

Where is Lin now?

Hongxia sighed.

"I don't know if he can withstand his sister's overwhelming maternal love while he's at the shop."

Stars.

"What's Daddy's dad's name?"

"What's your mother's name?"

"What's Mom's sister's name?"

Lin Yuanshan, dressed in a red Ultraman-patterned children's outfit, sat expressionlessly on a rocking horse in the store, swaying to the music while mechanically sucking on milk.

Or maybe we should just reopen it.
