In the clear morning, the sunshine was very nice. Yuan Yong opened his room door. He stood in the dark place and watched his sister leave without looking back.
She wouldn't go far before bumping into the anxious Yuan family members who were looking for her. She would return to where she wanted to return.
Yuan Yong felt very sad but had to accept this ending. More than not being able to monopolize his sister, he couldn't bear to see his sister wither in his hands. It was really too painful. Even with thousands of tenderness, he couldn't express it like a normal person. He would only make his sister cry.
Afterwards, Yuan Yong left the Yuan family and inherited his mother's career as a killer. He comforted himself that his sister was still too young. When she grows up, he would take her away again. By then, he would have definitely learned how to take care of his sister and the ending would be different.
Time flew by, Yuan Yong returned to this land again as a member of the Elephant Bone Association. He entered Star Galaxy Middle School and saw 11-year-old Yuan Luoyi.
Yuan Yong extended the invitation again: "I can take you anywhere you want to permanently escape from the Yuan family. They won't be able to find us."
After waiting for a long time, Yuan Luoyi shook her head and rejected his invitation.
Yuan Luoyi could feel her third brother's disappointment.
The class bell rang. In the high-pitched music sound, students ran around in a panic.
Yuan Yong retracted his hand and said lightly: "You go to class first."
Yuan Luoyi said: "Okay, I'm leaving now."
She took a few steps, then looked back. Third Brother Yuan Yong was still standing there seeing Yuan Luoyi off. The wind messed up his clothes. His eyes were as lonely and tranquil as the deep sea.
Every holiday gathering, all members of the Yuan family would come, but there was always one seat empty. That was Yuan Yong's seat.
Little Yuan Luoyi would chase the adults and ask.
Why hasn't Third Brother Yuan Yong come home for so many years?
Is it dangerous outside? Can he come back?
Isn't it lonely living alone outside?
When Father Yuan heard these questions, his expression would always become very scary. So Yuan Luoyi gradually stopped asking.
In the past, when she cried, Yuan Yong would secretly appear outside her window and tell her fairy tales. After he left, no one did that anymore.
After being isolated by Class A, Yuan Luoyi would sometimes think of Yuan Yong, because now she would also reveal the same lonely expression as Yuan Yong.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Luoyi walked back and opened her arms to Yuan Yong.
Yuan Yong asked: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Luoyi said: "Ding ding dong~ you've got a hug delivery. Do you want to accept it?"
Yuan Yong smiled. The loneliness between his brows dissipated somewhat. He lowered his body to accept Yuan Luoyi's hug.
Yuan Luoyi said: "Welcome back."
Yuan Yong said: "Thank you."
Yuan Luoyi said: "You missed my three birthdays. Everyone else gave me presents, but you didn't."
"Sorry, I'll make up for you."
"But you are always running around, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and not coming home either. Can you promise me?"
Yuan Yong lowered his head to look at Yuan Luoyi. He had seen many people's eyes up close. They were full of brutal beastliness and used knives and guns to show slaughter to their heart's content. And when Yuan Yong took their lives away, their eyes instantly turned dim and lusterless.
But his sister's eyes were like a clear lake, transparent and bright. Every ripple would tug at Yuan Yong's emotions. Even he himself was very surprised that in front of his sister, he could actually become so sentimental.
He could be cold and merciless to anyone, but he couldn't be that way to his sister.
Yuan Yong held Yuan Luoyi's little hand. "I promise you that I will stay here for this period of time and will definitely deliver the three gifts into your hands."
Yuan Luoyi said: "Okay, I'll believe you this once."
They both knew Yuan Luoyi didn't really want the gifts. She just hoped Yuan Yong would stay here for more days.
Yuan Luoyi waved goodbye to Yuan Yong and ran to Class D.
In the classroom, Yu Hua was listening to an online Chinese class. He was drowsy and his body swayed back and forth in the chair. His face was about to have an intimate encounter with the tabletop.
Yuan Luoyi felt Yu Hua's nose would definitely hurt a lot if he smashed into the table. The future world would lose a handsome guy again. Yuan Luoyi violently shook his shoulder to prevent the tragedy from happening.
Yu Hua was shocked and jumped up. Seeing it was Yuan Luoyi, he relaxed again. He sprawled in the chair and patted his chest to soothe his fiercely beating heart.
Yu Hua said, "You scared me to death. Turns out it was you. I thought it was the head teacher coming back again."
Yuan Luoyi asked: "Did the head teacher come today?"
"Yeah, he just came and left again. He said our Class D is beyond salvation and we'll all eventually get expelled sooner or later."
"Is he planning to come back and teach us properly?"
"Nope. He said he's going to interview at other schools and once he finds a replacement, he'll resign immediately."
Yuan Luoyi sympathized with the head teacher for a second. The students at Star Galaxy Middle School were all very competitive. Only the students in Class D were slacking off across the board. As the head teacher, he must have had a hard time.
She heard he was also a handsome guy. Too bad Yuan Luoyi missed seeing him today.
Yu Hua said, "Oh right, your account must have a lot of fans now!"
Yuan Luoyi opened her phone and logged into her main account. It showed 460,000 fans, with the growth rate obviously slower than before.
The three seconds at the opening ceremony of the campus variety show and the complete reversal in the campus bullying incident brought her a lot of attention.
However, trending topics changed every day. People's attention could be shifted easily. That was why celebrities had to keep hyping up topics, just to not disappear from the public eye.
Yu Hua leaned over to look. "Wow, so impressive, already 460,000!"
"Su Xun doesn't have as many fans as you. She has 270,000. And a lot of hers are bought, either bots or cyborgs."
"The third most popular is Sen Junxuan with 190,000 fans. A lot of girls have become his mom fans, all waiting for him to grow up. Good-looking guys really are so well-received."
Yuan Luoyi didn't have much feelings about being number one in popularity. What she needed now was to quickly increase her influence, activate the regression ability again, and find out who the real murderer was.
In the afternoon, Star Galaxy Middle School suddenly became extremely noisy. Dozens of cars drove in and a group of upright people got out.
Many students at the teaching building crowded to the windows to watch the commotion. Yu Hua was also woken up and instantly became alert.
"These are high-ranking officers and soldiers! Why would they come to our school?"
He took out his phone and opened the school group. The messages had exploded with students all spreading rumors like crazy.
Yuan Luoyi also leaned over to look.
"Everyone, great news! The Elephant Bone Association has arranged a new PE teacher! He's a retired commander who led many classic battles!"
"Also, under pressure from the Elephant Bone Association, the principal said PE classes will be fully restored this week!"
"The program team is also coming to film the Grade 7 PE class tomorrow. I heard there'll be a big event with high popularity and traffic."
"Wow! The image of our school's PE class just shot up!"
Yuan Luoyi nodded. It was indeed good news. She could participate in the competition to increase her influence tomorrow.
Yu Hua exited the school group and sighed, "The Elephant Bone Association really is so powerful. With just a little interference, the entire school gets turned upside down. No wonder the teachers are all so nervous when they see them. Oh right, I heard your brother is a member of the Elephant Bone Association. Is that true?"
Yuan Luoyi nodded. "Yes, it's true. One of the Five Lords."
Yu Hua sucked in a breath of cold air. The Yuan family people really were so outstanding. Although the Yu family also produced quite a few figures, there were also not a few black sheep.
A group of people dressed in black walked the teaching building. They carried an aura that made people not dare to get close.
Yuan Yong was also among them. He walked without a sound, like a prowling carnivore in the night, elegant and powerful yet noble and lazy. He looked towards Yuan Luoyi and pressed the brim of his hat in a gentleman's slight bow before leaving.
Yuan Luoyi suddenly realized, this was the first gift.
Yu Hua also noticed Yuan Yong: "Why did that person nod to us?"
Yuan Luoyi said: "That's my third brother Yuan Yong."
Yu Hua revealed an extremely envious look.
