Chapter 83
Yuan Yong's hands were bound, unable to do anything. Yuan Luoyi took out bandages and wrapped his injured leg, helping with basic first aid.
She asked, "Brother, are you thirsty?"
Yuan Yong replied, "A little."
She poured clean water into a glass and brought it to Yuan Yong's lips. With his sister's help, he drank.
"Are you hungry?"
"A bit hungry too."
Yuan Luoyi began unwrapping the snack packages.
Yuan Yong sat quietly and elegantly by her side, like a well-groomed cat patiently waiting to be fed.
To the side, Brother Yuan Fa held a broom in one hand and a garbage bag in the other, a dishcloth draped over his shoulder, his face grim.
He was laboring to clean up this damn mess, while the culprit Yuan Yong was enjoying his sister's care.
His younger brother was truly a curse bestowed upon him by the heavens!
Ah, he regretted not beating him to death when they were young!
Out of sight, out of mind. Yuan Fa strode forward, each step filled with anger. He needed to clean up the aftermath downstairs.
He opened the door and went out, Yuan Luoyi following and closing the door behind them.
Yuan Fa asked, "Are you going to help me clean up?"
Yuan Luoyi shook her head. "Time's up, I have to go."
As soon as she said those words, her sister vanished, leaving Yuan Fa with a sense of desolation.
When would they meet again after parting ways this time?
After his sister disappeared last time, Yuan Fa overturned his suspicions about the true culprit.
He hadn't gone missing, but had deliberately concealed his whereabouts, investigating and searching for clues everywhere. Doubts kept piling up.
After a long period of contemplation, Yuan Fa realized that this 11-year-old sister did not belong to this time and space, nor to them.
"I hope the me in her world is a good brother..."
Descending the stairs, Yuan Fa needed to clean this place thoroughly. An excessively bloody environment was not suitable for children.
At the same time, Yuan Luoyi returned to the new timeline. Looking down at herself, the bloodstains on her clothes had completely vanished, as if nothing had happened.
Glancing at the clock, it was now past 6 AM. She could rest for a bit.
She fell onto the bed, closing her eyes for a nap. She didn't want to disappear in front of her brother, so she left the room. If only the time she could stay during each regression was longer.
At 7 AM, she woke up groggily, washed up, put on her backpack, and got into the car to Star Galaxy Middle School.
The heart-stopping regression had left her exhausted. She dozed off on the way, her mind blank like a modern college student, only wanting to sleep and eat.
No, it was different.
College students could only eat three meals a day. Yuan Luoyi felt she needed six meals a day to feel satisfied.
Upon arriving at school, Yuan Luoyi saw the field full of third-year students doing morning runs, gasping for breath between life and death. But there were also strong ones who seemed indifferent, even carrying English vocabulary cards and reviewing them as they ran.
The PE teacher stood under a tree, shouting, "A sound body is the foundation for revolution. If you don't train your bodies now, the pressure of the high school entrance exam will make you sick! Run! Keep running!"
Yuan Luoyi approached him. In this timeline, though he had some gray hair, he seemed full of vigor.
The PE teacher looked down at Yuan Luoyi. "Good morning, Yuan Luoyi. Why do you look so tired? You should run a lap too. It'll surely energize you!"
Yuan Luoyi replied, "No need. I've been frail since childhood. Running makes me feel like my soul is leaving my body."
"Hahaha, Yuan Yong has such an adorable sister!"
"Teacher, do you know how to contact my brother?"
"You need to see him?"
"Yes."
The PE teacher took out his phone, sent a text message, and received a reply within seconds.
He turned the screen toward Yuan Luoyi. It read:
"Coming soon. By Yuan Yong."
Yuan Luoyi said, "Thank you."
The PE teacher smiled, "No need to thank me. I owe him some favors too. This little thing is the least I can do for him. He's coming quickly. You can wait for him at the cafeteria."
Yuan Luoyi left.
The PE teacher was a rigid, righteous person, but not a bad man. Yuan Luoyi had seen too many people do evil for a little money. People like the PE teacher were rare these days.
At the cafeteria, Yuan Luoyi texted her eldest and second eldest brothers, then began her favorite activity - eating. She hugged a sweet corn cob, rotating and gnawing at it like a hamster.
Yuan Yong arrived swiftly, his dark figure appearing soundlessly in the crowd, heading straight for Yuan Luoyi.
But her eldest brother Yuan Ao and second eldest brother Yuan Fa also arrived quickly, walking toward Yuan Luoyi. She had called them over.
The three Yuan brothers gathered in the cafeteria, just like last time.
Yuan Fa and Yuan Yong battled with their eyes, their new and old grudges too many. If their sister wasn't present, they would have definitely fought.
As the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Ao remained calm. He sat beside Yuan Luoyi and naturally picked up a knife and fork, cutting the meat chunks in her salad into smaller pieces.
He speared some vegetables and shredded meat, handing them to Yuan Luoyi. "What did you call us here for?"
Yuan Luoyi leaned forward and ate the salad. "Big brother, don't forbid Brother from coming home anymore."
Yuan Ao let out a troubled sigh.
Yuan Luoyi said, "He's been protecting me just like you. He won't harm me."
"When I was six, he took me away because I was bored being confined at home all the time. I told him I wanted freedom, to leave, to have adventures."
"Sometimes he's terrifying, but he's also a good brother. This time, I don't want to lose anyone."
Elder brother Yuan Ao lowered his head in thought. The third brother was a difficult person to control, but this was still his sister's request... Her eyes shone with sincerity and purity. He couldn't refuse her.
Yuan Yong gazed at his sister, lost in thought. He had wondered if he was a good brother in her eyes.
Yuan Luoyi said to Yuan Yong, "Brother, you still owe me a gift. I want you to make peace with Brother."
Before Yuan Yong could speak, Yuan Fa exclaimed, "What?! My dear sister, I treat you so well. Why must you torture me?"
"Making peace with him" was far more difficult than "killing him." Yuan Yong's heart wrestled with the dilemma.
After a moment, he walked stiffly in front of Yuan Fa, awkwardly extending his hand and saying coldly, "Hello."
Yuan Luoyi had seen distant family members, but never unfamiliar ones.
Yuan Fa spread his arms: "A mere defeated subordinate, still wanting to shake hands with my noble self?"
In an instant, Yuan Yong's killing intent was stirred.
Seeing the two about to start again, Yuan Luoyi quickly stepped between them: "There's a claw machine over there, I've tried several times but couldn't get anything out. Third Brother, Second Brother, can you help me get one?"
This tactic of diverting conflict was learned from Big Brother Yuan Ao, and it worked well - the two didn't start fighting, but marched menacingly towards the claw machine instead.
So, when Yuan Luoyi walked into Class D carrying a huge pile of plush toys, Yu Hua stared in shock, her eyes wide open.
"Yuan Luoyi, why did you go to Yiwu to wholesale plush toys?"
"No, it's not like that..."
She sat at her seat, gazing at the mountain of toys. They were quite cute, but there were far too many.
Her brothers' sense of rivalry was too terrifying. When they left, the empty claw machine had a new sign taped onto it.
"This establishment does not serve anyone 18 or older"
