Reborn As Lucky Star

Early the next morning, Lin Chunju arrived at the hospital room as promised.

Lin Jianping was already waiting, with a smile Fang Miao had never seen before.

"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you."

"Look at you talking like that! I got up early, had breakfast, and came straight over. How much earlier could I be?"

"You should've eaten here with me. I've got special nutritional meals." Lin Jianping half-jokingly complained, "I just want to see you more before I leave so I can report back to Mom and Dad."

Lin Chunju couldn't bear to hear that; she felt a lump in her throat and a sting in her nose.

"Stop it! Can't you say something auspicious in the morning?"

Lin Jianping smiled and pulled his sister's arm, making her sit by the bedside.

"There are many things we both understand without saying. At our age, there's no point in deceiving ourselves."

"Even so, don't say it. It doesn't make you uncomfortable to say, but it's hard for me to hear."

Seeing his sister was genuinely upset, Lin Jianping apologized repeatedly.

"Alright, alright, I won't say it. You haven't seen me for years, yet your temper has grown." He then looked at the door, "Isn't your granddaughter here today?"

"She's at university now and has classes."

"It's good to study, the more knowledge you gain, the further you can go." Lin Jianping reminisced, "Do you remember how our parents hired a teacher to teach us at home when we were very young? We had to recite Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic back then."

"How could I forget? The teacher asked us to memorize 'The heavens and earth are vast, and the universe is archaic.' You murmured nonsense while your eyes were glued to the birds on the book outside, and you got your palm smacked for it."

"Yeah, and there was an osmanthus tree in the courtyard outside. When it was in season, the fragrance was amazing. You craved it every time, and Mom would have the cook pick some to put in the soup..."

They laughed warmly at the memories. Fang Miao stood awkwardly nearby, unable to join the conversation from start to finish.

The harmonious atmosphere made her want to leave every second, yet she had to stand by and watch.

She told herself to endure it.

In any case, after tomorrow, Lin Chunju wouldn't bother her anymore.

——

On the other side, Yue Qingqing wasn't at the university but at the airport.

Wearing a mask and sunglasses, she still attracted attention for some reason.

Fortunately, her entire face was almost covered, so no one recognized her.

Others only saw her as a graceful girl; even without seeing her face, they sensed her outstanding presence.

Passengers trickled into the arrival hall, and the appearance of a man instantly caught everyone's attention.

The man had a cold demeanor, dressed in pale white, as if all the early winter chill had settled on him alone.

He seemed unreachable.

"Third brother!"

Unable to hold back, Yue Qingqing called out and ran towards Yan Sinian.

Yan Sinian's gaze scanned over, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, precisely melting away the coldness that kept others at a distance.

"Why did you come here especially? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at school?"

"I just wanted to see my senior earlier."

"Tsk, you didn't skip class, did you?"

Yan Sinian squinted slightly, showing a hint of a stern father's look.

Yue Qingqing hurriedly explained, "Of course not. I only had one class this morning. I came right after."

Yan Sinian nodded, "Alright, have you prepared the place?"

"Of course, I asked Sister Shi to prepare it. She also drove me to the airport."

"Sister Shi is still waiting in the underground parking lot. I'll give her a call."

Saying this, Yue Qingqing took out her phone.

"Sister Shi? Yes, I've met up with my senior. We're heading down now. Mm-hmm, yes, I'll remember; we won't go the wrong way."

Si Xi?

Yan Sinian raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was thinking.
