Xua Ying Yue looked at her sister who was gripping her hand rather tightly and felt her heartache, her sister was the one who worked hard to raise her but in the end, she caused her so much worry. With a swift turn of her feet, Xua Ying Yue patted Xua Yenay on the back of her hand and then said in a soft voice, " Do not worry sister, I will tell you everything from now on."
Originally, she wanted to hide some things from her sister but seeing how much weight she had lost after running around because of her, Xua Ying Yue did not wish to hide anything from her sister, though she will keep some dangerous things to herself, she will share the rest with Xua Yenay that way, her sister will no longer worry because of her.
When Xua Yenay heard Xua Ying Yue's promise she heaved a sigh of relief and then released her hold on Xua Ying Yue's wrist, she was her sister and nothing will ever stop Xua Yenay from worrying about Xua Ying Yue, she did not care what kind of path Xua Ying Yue was going to take in the future as long as she allowed her to follow her, as long as she was with her, she will be there to catch her sister whenever she fell.
" Then it's a promise," said Xua Yenay as she looked at Xua Ying Yue who sincerely nodded and replied, " En it's a promise."

On the other side, Zou Zeming was covering his ears as he climbed down the stairs while his grandfather who was red in the face chased after him while waving his stick left and right.
" You little brat, you truly have hardened your wings, haven't you? I asked you to take guards with you and you dare to refuse? And what is wrong with taking a pager? Can't this old man contact you whenever I want to? As for this chilli spray and bulletproof vest, do you even know how many contacts I had to call before I could secure them? They cost me both money and coupons!"
Zou Zeming dodged the stick of his grandfather and then jumped down the stairs knowing that his old man will not be able to keep up with his moves. He turned on his feet and looked at Old Master Gu and then replied in a rapid-fire motion, " I am going to college and not to war, Grandpa. Do you even know how my classmates will look at me if they see me carrying such things and being followed by a guard? They will definitely keep their distance from me. I came from S city to here because I wanted to enjoy life and not live in shackles, if I continue to live the same life as I did when I was in S city what is the difference?"
" You…." Old Master Gu wanted to say something furious but Zou Zeming did not give him a chance instead he swiftly added, " Whats more, you were the one who said that M city is peaceful and the people here are honest and work hard, this is why I came to this place if not with my results, I could have gone to the top university in the S city, grandpa, so please…don't start with me."
"What's so good about making friends anyway? Your generation does not even know how to keep polite friendships any more, look at what happened last time. That girl, what was she called ——" Old Master Gu made a very serious face as he tried to remember Qi Qing who left quite an impression on him but he could not remember her name and said, " I don't remember whatever, but you do right? You remember what happened in the restaurant right? That girl tried to take advantage of that poor little girl, if not for that young girl who worked in the restaurant, she would have been played by that girl who not only embarrassed her but also took money from her."
Zou Zeming knew about whom his grandfather was talking about as he opened his mouth, his gaze fell on Xua Ying Yue who was walking past the street her long wavy hair fluttering behind her, today she was dressed in a black hoodie with pants and gloves, when his gaze fell on her, his eyes lit up and he turned to look at his grandfather and cheekily asked, " If I befriend someone like that waitress, you will have nothing to say right?"
Old Master Gu was a bit confused when he heard the words of his grandson but he still nodded and then a second later he saw his grandson running out of the house as he screamed, " Perfect then I will go and make friends with that girl!"
It only then did Old Master Gu realise that he had been played with and chased after his grandson, " You brat come here! I promise that I will not turn your bottom into a melon!"
But no matter how fast Old Master Gu was he could not catch his grandson who was younger and much faster than him, he huffed and puffed as he stood at the threshold of his house and watched his grandson run after the girl from Madam Tian's restaurant.
" That brat, he is so young but he is already acting like this," he commented bitterly when he heard a snarky voice from behind and turned around,
" You truly are so stern with that grandson of yours, old Gu. No wonder he wants to go against you as much as he can," Madam Tian looked at the two kids, though she could not see what was going on but she did see Xua Ying Yue picking up speed as Zou Zeming chased after her. " Give him some breather, I know that you are worried about him but the more you act like this the more rebellious he will become, let him spread his wings a little."
" I have nothing against him spreading his wings, I am just worried that someone will hurt those wings of his."
