Ouyang Manqing, who had arrived with Xie Yijun, smiled gently. "It’s nothing to worry about. Everyone misses you very much. They all want to learn Chinese kung fu from you. Especially Keith and Hans from Country Y. When they heard you two were leaving, they kept asking me for your contact info. They even said they wanted to write you letters. I told them I’d ask you first before giving them a reply. Do you want me to give it to them?"
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Tell them to leave their addresses. I’m going to the capital in a few days. Once I have the address, I’ll write to them and give them my contact details then."
"Alright, I’ll contact them tomorrow," Ouyang Manqing said.
"Sister, let’s go inside and talk. It’s not good to stand at the door," Zhu Zhibin said, looking around. They were still standing at the entrance.
Xie Yijun and Ouyang Manqing had been so surprised and happy to see the siblings that they had forgotten everything else. Hearing Zhu Zhibin’s reminder, they laughed. Xie Yijun noticed Yan Aohan standing behind them and paused slightly. "Who is this?"
"This is Brother Yan. She came with us," Zhu Yanyi said. She didn’t explain much, but her brief words made it clear that Yan Aohan was no ordinary person.
Xie Yijun was a worldly man. Anyone who survived in the entertainment circle was sharp. "Please, come in and sit down." He stepped aside to let them enter. "I’ve been busy with Manqing and Amu these past few days. The house isn’t very tidy. Please, make yourselves at home."
Everyone walked into the house one by one. Zhu Yanyi looked around. "Where is Cousin Jingyun? Hasn’t she returned yet?"
Ouyang Manqing smiled. "She went to see her friends from the summer camp. Everyone is going back the day after tomorrow, so they are spending time together these last two days." Two weeks of getting along had built a strong friendship among the children. With parting near, they naturally wanted to say goodbye properly.
Zhu Zhibin looked sentimental. "Actually, I miss Hans too. I wonder how that dummy Hans is doing?"
"What do you mean, Hans is a dummy?" Zhu Yanyi tapped Zhu Zhibin’s head. "During the summer camp, you two were best friends, shoulders touching. Now you call her a dummy? I say, little Zhu Zhibin, being one way in front of people and another behind their backs is wrong."
Zhu Zhibin quickly saluted. "Sorry, I was wrong. I won’t do it again." Zhu Zhibin always knew how to correct his mistakes.
Yan Aohan chuckled softly. "Doumiao’s military salute is quite good. Do you want to join the army in the future? Brother Yan has some connections in that area."
Zhu Zhibin coughed. "Brother Yan, although I admire soldiers, only my second sister has a strong attachment to the military and respects them deeply. I prefer dealing with numbers. So, I’ve decided to become a mathematician."
"Weren’t you saying you wanted to be an economist last time? How did you become a mathematician now?" Zhu Yanyi asked casually.
"Don’t you know I’m a child? A child’s wishes change with time. I want to be a mathematician now," Zhu Zhibin said, making a funny, playful face as if she didn’t understand her at all.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head up at a forty-five-degree angle. This brat. If I don’t beat her today, she’ll tear the roof off.
"Since Doumiao wants to be a mathematician, Ani, you must cultivate him well in this area. If you have the conditions, provide them. If not, create them."
