They taught me, and they were extremely stringent!
I never enjoyed the warmth of a family during my childhood, and my upbringing was quite unique. Before I became an adult, I lived back and forth between two places. Aside from eating and attending to nature’s calls, my life revolved around only two things: training and studying! If I performed poorly, I would be scolded at best; at worst, I’d be beaten and cursed, which were common occurrences.
Until I was eighteen years old, maybe because I had been pushed to the limit, even with the title of Divine Doctor and the prestige of being a young leader of the Mercenary Group—so what? I grew tired of that life, weary of those days, and could no longer endure it, so I rose up in rebellion.
I escaped from my grandfather’s soldiers who wanted to capture me; I also severed ties with my maternal side. I began to teach myself to enjoy life, learning to do things that brought me happiness.
I enjoyed eating delicious food, so I sought out delicacies everywhere I went and ultimately, due to the plane crash, my soul fell into a different world.
My previous life and family were unhealthy. A united family like the Liang’s, with brothers working together in harmony, was something I envied.
I experienced a life I had never known before, and I even longed to become a part of a family.
I liked that kind of life.
But now, it was as if I’d had a dream that suddenly ended as I awoke.
Dong Huiying looked at Liang Yixuan, blinked suddenly, and then her lips parted into a brilliant, sun-like smile, charmingly cute.
Afterward, without any reluctance, she turned and went back to her room.
I understood what I had to do!
For some reason, the smile she had before leaving made him feel very uncomfortable.
Yixuan was struck with uncertainty.
Shu Yu looked at him with interest. "Earlier you asked me if I understood what it means to like someone. Although I don’t know, because I’ve never liked anyone in my life—not even myself—how can I understand? However, seeing how Shujun and the others act, I think you’re already in too deep, but your current state is indeed amusing."
Liking someone without realizing it, this feeling was mixed with too many pros and cons.
Yixuan once said I think too much, but isn’t he the same? Always looking before and after, which is amusing to see.
"Big Brother Liang is joking."
Yixuan gathered his emotions, then placed a large basin of Scar Removal Ointment on the cabinet, rolled up his sleeves, and applied a bit to his arm.
The burning pain was indeed severe, but he could endure it. After all, he had been through so much over the past year. Having experienced the pain of a broken leg, what was this minor stinging in comparison?
At noon, a man in a grey robe with a cap on his head and a hemp sack over his shoulders walked along the road back to the village.
"My, isn’t that Liang Dalang?"
Aunt Wang, holding a baby, greeted Liang Zhichen, but her eyes occasionally glanced at the bag in Zhichen’s hand.
"What’s in that bag? It seems quite heavy. Fubao, aren’t you going to help? Big Brother Liang can’t use his right hand well, he can’t do heavy work."
Aunt Wang licked her lips, her eyes filled with greed.
Fubao was Aunt Wang’s daughter; she had just turned fifteen at the beginning of the year. She hesitated, glancing at her mother reluctantly, but Aunt Wang kicked her.
With a sigh, Fubao offered, "Big Brother Liang, shall I help you?"
Zhichen clutched the bag tightly with his left hand, "No need, it’s just a sack of sprouted potatoes."
