Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

Jiang Yan was unaware of any of this; he was only thinking about finishing his studies as soon as possible and officially entering the research institute.

In order to be closer to Jiang Yan, Fang Xinyou also applied to the Physics Department of Peking University.

However, she already struggled with science subjects, making it even more difficult for her to learn.

In her first semester, she failed several courses.

During the winter break, Fang Xinyou kept hoping that Jiang Yan could come back and help her catch up on her studies.

Although they are the same age, Jiang Yan started university earlier, so she is now his junior, and in the same department at that.

Given our relationship, he probably wouldn't refuse to help me, right?

Just as she was finally able to wait for Jiang Yan to have a holiday, she saw him walk in from outside with Wu Lijun.

Upon seeing Xiao Ya, Fang Xinyou's expression changed drastically.

She hadn't expected that Xiao Ya wouldn't go home for winter break and would instead come to Wenrou's place, requiring Jiang Yan to pick her up.

"Jiang Yan," Fang Xinyou called out to Jiang Yan.

She walked over, ignoring the girl, and said, "Senior Jiang Yan, I have some professional questions I'd like to ask you. Could you help me answer them?"

Jiang Yan didn't even glance at her. "I'm busy."

He carried Xiaoya's luggage upstairs, saw her off, and then went to the playground to find Yunyao.

He just got home today and happened to run into Xiaoya who was also going back. Since she couldn't buy a train ticket and there was no one at the school, she called Wenrou.

Wenrou is still with the transport team today, so Jiang Yan was asked to pick her up.

Xiao Ya watched Jiang Yan's retreating figure and silently sat down.

Since winter vacation started, Yun Yao has been spending all her time on the playground.

Only Yun Shu and Xiao Shi An are at home now, and Xiao Ya is playing with them.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Yan's heart tightened, and he hurried over. From a distance, he saw Yun Yao wrestling with a boy.

"I'll teach you to curse me. If you dare say another word, I'll cripple you." Yun Yao's voice came from the crowd.

When Jiang Yan squeezed into the crowd, he was immediately stunned.

She pinned the boy to the ground and slapped his face repeatedly.

The people around them who were making a fuss were all mocking the boy for not being able to beat Yun Yao.

Yun Yao had loved practicing military boxing with soldiers since she was a child. In addition, she was naturally energetic and strong, so the boys were no match for her.

"Yao Yao." Jiang Yan quickly stepped forward to stop Yun Yao upon seeing this.

He originally thought that Yun Yao was the one being bullied, but he didn't expect that she was the one beating up others.

The boy she beat up had his face swollen like a pig's head. If she continued to hit him, he was worried that something serious might happen.

Jiang Yan stepped forward and pulled Yun Yao up from the boy. He then checked her over to make sure she wasn't injured before he felt relieved.

It was only then that he realized that the boy had started the trouble; he had insulted Yun Yao first, which was why she had hit him.

He gave the boy a cold look and warned, "If you can't control your mouth in the future, this won't be the end of you."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he reached out and took Yun Yao's arm, and they walked home.

Yun Yao followed behind Jiang Yan. She was covered in dust, and her once fair face was now covered in mud, making her look nothing like a girl.

"Brother Jiang Yan, you're back?" Yun Yao looked at Jiang Yan with a joyful expression.

"You still know I'm your brother. In the future, if you encounter something like this, remember to tell your family first. Don't be so impulsive like this time," Jiang Yan said sternly.

"He insulted me first, and I couldn't hold back, so I hit him," Yun Yao explained softly.

Seeing how angry Jiang Yan was, she was also afraid that he would ignore her.

She said, somewhat aggrieved, "Don't be angry, I'll never fight with anyone again."

Jiang Yan had finally come back, and she didn't want to upset him.

Seeing Yun Yao's aggrieved expression, Jiang Yan's heart softened immediately.

"I'm not angry, I'm just worried that you'll be bullied."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Yun Yao said proudly, "They can't beat me or bully me."

Jiang Yan found it quite surprising to see her, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

After taking Yun Yao home, he gave her a shower and changed her into clean clothes.

Seeing her transform back into that pretty little girl, a doting smile finally appeared on his lips.

"Brother, do you think I look good in this outfit?" Yun Yao asked Jiang Yan, eager to show him the new clothes that Wenrou had bought for her.

Jiang Yan nodded, took a towel and dried her hair, "It looks good."

In the dead of winter, it's easy to catch a cold if you don't dry your hair properly.

Even though there is heating at home, it's easy to catch a cold with wet hair hanging over your shoulders.

Just then, a violent knocking came from the door.

"You all come out here."

Hearing the sound, Xiaoya went over and opened the door.

Upon seeing the menacing woman standing outside the door, she froze on the spot.

"What can I do for you?" she asked politely.

"What happened? Your daughter hit my son. Look what she did to him! Let me tell you, this isn't over."

Xiaoya was a guest after all, and she didn't know what to do in this situation.

Just as she was lost in thought, Jiang Yan's voice came from inside.

"Everyone on the playground can testify that your son insulted my sister first. He was simply outmatched, and you still have the nerve to come here?"

Jiang Yan's words made the woman's face turn extremely ugly. She glared at Jiang Yan fiercely and said, "Call your parents out here."

"Since the adults aren't home, I'm their parent. Just tell me what's wrong. You said this isn't over yet, why don't we go to the compound and have a proper talk, so everyone knows your son is a spineless coward who only talks a big game."

The little boy who had just been beaten by Yun Yao looked like he was about to cry; he also felt ashamed.

So he reached out and took his mother's arm, whispering, "Mom, I'm not in pain, let's go home."

If this continues, the whole class will probably know that he was beaten up by a girl when school starts.

At this moment, Yun Yao also came out. Seeing that the boy still dared to bring his mother to their door, she glared at him and said, "You dare to come here again? Do you want to get beaten up again?"

She said that with her sleeves rolled up, it looked like she was about to rush over and hit him again.

The little boy was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the woman and apologized to Yun Yao, "I was wrong, Huo Yun Yao, I will never say anything to you again."

He was only provoked by other boys to provoke Yun Yao.

He hadn't expected Yun Yao to be so strong; she beat him so badly he had no chance to fight back.
