In the last weekend of August, the Han Family couple arrived in Qi City. Because school was about to start. Firstly, they had come to pick up their second son and take him back to Laha! Secondly, they were there to prepare the accommodations supplies needed for their eldest son for the coming half year, as well as to handle his High School enrollment procedures! Their arrival was without any warning and yet not unexpected. It’s just that Zhen Yu’s guqin practice was thus inadvertently exposed... Initially, Zhen Yu was afraid that her clumsy novice playing would disturb others, and it was also tricky to explain the origin of the instrument, so she had always practiced in the privacy of her own space! But later on, she had also ’sent’ Han Mingyue to the Martial Arts Hall, so there were no other people at home in the afternoon. Therefore, she was no longer content with confining herself in a closed space and preferred to play and practice in this real and vast world outside. Once Mr. Han and Mrs. Han opened the door of their home, they heard intermittent sounds of the guqin. At first, the two of them thought someone was playing music through a small tape recorder or some household electronic device! But as they listened, Mrs. Han sensed something was amiss! Who would listen to such stilted music? Not only was it not smooth, but occasionally there was a clearly discordant wrong note... When they reached the second floor and saw Zhen Yu playing the guqin, this mystery was immediately solved. But then new questions arose! Mrs. Han hurried over in three large strides, "Xiao Yu! What are you playing?" "Aunt Han!" Zhen Yu had a moment of panic, then quickly regained her composure and stood up. "Uncle and Aunt! You have arrived! Is everything fine at home?" "Everything’s fine! You are playing the..." Before she could finish, Aunt Han interrupted with an answer and continued to inquire about the guqin! Seeing her full attention on the guqin, Zhen Yu had no choice but to answer her question first. "This is a guqin." "Really a guqin!" Mrs. Han curiously looked it over from all angles, forgetting even to put down the things she was holding! Her odd behavior made Zhen Yu tentatively ask, "Can you play?" "Ah? No, no!" Mrs. Han quickly waved her hands, "I just really admire these ancient things!" Zhen Yu’s brows subtly knitted, "Antiques?" "Not at all! Not at all! I don’t understand anything about antiques!" Mrs. Han continued to wave her hands! "I’m just fond of the dresses and accessories from ancient times worn by the women!" Within Zhen Yu’s puzzled gaze, Mrs. Han added with a smile, "When I was about your age, I used to enjoy draping bed sheets and curtain fabrics over myself! Dreaming about how great it would be if I were born in ancient times! I could wear long dresses, do up beautiful hair buns! And also wear pretty hairpins and the like..." Zhen Yu was somewhat speechless; Mrs. Han turned out to be a genuine aficionado of ancient-style aesthetics! If that is the case! Should she take the initiative to trade for something from Su Xuan in advance?! Maybe she could save it for later to give Mrs. Han as a personal gift during the holidays... She was idly daydreaming when Mr. Han suddenly spoke up, "Alright, enough! She’s already such an adult; what’s the use of talking about such kiddish things!" "Since when am I ’such an adult’?" Mrs. Han immediately objected! After shooting Mr. Han a sideways glance, she continued: "Besides, what would a man know about this? No matter the age, women always like pretty things!" Mr. Han was at a loss for words! After opening his mouth but finding nothing to say, he had no choice but to change the subject! "Xiao Yu! Where are those three guys? How come they just left you at home by yourself?!" "They all went to training classes! They should be back soon!" Zhen Yu first helped Mr. and Mrs. Han put away the things they brought into the boys’ room, then she sat down to chat with the elders for a while. Hearing Mr. Han talk about the news reports, most areas within Qi City’s jurisdiction had already returned to normal order and begun the work of rebuilding their homes. It was at this point that Zhen Yu finally felt a sense of peace and clarity. Less than half an hour later, the Han Family Brothers returned together. "Dad! Mom! How come you’re here?!" Han Jiayang, now quite a tall young man, hadn’t seen his parents for two months but was still excited like a little kid! By contrast, Han Mingyue was much more reserved and mature, greeting them with a simple, "Dad, Mom." Mrs. Han, eager, took one son by the hand and asked, "What sort of classes were you two attending? And you went together too!?" "We went to the Martial Arts Hall!" Han Jiayang bragged excitedly: "Mom! Master Xu said I have a great natural talent! I’m cut out for martial arts!" "Ah! My dear son is truly amazing!" Mrs. Han praised him first, then turned her head to look at her eldest son, asking surprisingly: "Ming Yue! You’ve also started practicing martial arts?" Han Mingyue nodded a bit awkwardly and didn’t repeat Master Xu’s comments about him. But Jiaoyang couldn’t resist speaking for him! "Mom! My brother had a cold before and was sick for more than half a month! After getting better, it was Zhen Yu who insisted, and only then did he start practicing martial arts! Master Xu said although my brother’s talent is just average, with more exercise, there’s no problem in him becoming strong and healthy!" Mrs. Han looked at her eldest son with concern: "Sick for more than half a month, huh! No wonder you’ve lost weight..." Yet Mr. Han was as stern as ever, "Xiao Yu did the right thing! Ming Yue should have started exercising a long time ago! Remember, your health is capital for the revolution! No matter how good your grades are, they’re useless with a weak body!" Han Mingyue hung his head slightly in embarrassment, "I understand, Dad! I will keep practicing martial arts!" It wasn’t long before Zhen Yan also returned home from his after-school class. Mrs. Han joined Zhen Yu in the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Mr. Han continued chatting with his two sons in their room, sharing what had happened in these past few months. Zhen Yan didn’t want to disturb them, so he sat in the living room, fidgeting with the pyramid on his chest. After about two months of effort, the first layer’s red glow had completely filled in! The second layer’s yellow light was also lit up by more than two-thirds! And he could genuinely feel the difference brought about by the change in the light’s intensity – he now found it much easier to solve problems than before! Even in Chinese reading comprehension, he no longer lost as many points as he used to! It had always been his sister doing things for him! With his sister’s birthday just one week away, he really wanted to do something for her as well! But what could he do? Zhen Yan fell into deep thought... Meanwhile, Zhen Yu, the sister unknowingly being thought and cared about by her older brother, was in the kitchen being bombarded with knowledge about ancient styles by Mrs. Han, whose strong desire to talk since seeing the guqin had finally erupted when they were alone. Faced with a middle-aged lady who seemed to have been holding it in for too long, her combat strength in talking could match that of a reinforced platoon! Fortunately, the things Mrs. Han talked about were quite interesting, so Zhen Yu just listened resignedly...
