My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!

Jiang Guanqing took the water glass from Jiang Huai, sipped the warm water slowly, and looked at them gently. "I'm really not feeling unwell, I just slept a little longer."

Jiang Guanqing looked out the window. There was a large expanse of white clouds in the sky. "I had a dream. I dreamt of a very, very large meadow, covered with beautiful wildflowers of all colors. There was a soft white cloud in the sky that even covered me with a blanket."

Jiang Guanqing chuckled softly, as if recalling something pleasant. "It called me 'Baby' and told me to sleep a little longer... Later it said, 'If you don't go back soon, you'll all turn evil,' so I came back."

The ward was quiet for a few seconds.

Jiang Huai wiped his eyes hard. "Big brother, did you hit your head? How can Yun talk?"

"Aww!"

As soon as Jiang Huai finished speaking, he received a punch to the head. After hitting him, Jiang Ning shouted, "If you can't speak, then shut up! This is a dream. Why can't the clouds speak in a dream?"

The rest of the people: ...

Jiang Guanqing couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle; what he said was the truth.

Jiang Yan's temples throbbed, and he snapped at Jiang Ning and Jiang Huai, "Shut up!"

Jiang Huai and Jiang Ning held hands and retreated to a corner, appearing to be brotherly and respectful, but in reality, they were gripping each other's hands tighter and tighter, their faces almost contorted.

Bai Xin and Gong Bolin tacitly stood in front of the two idiots, blocking Jiang Guanqing's view.

Jiang Yan sounded like she was about to cry, and Jiang Guanqing's heart melted. He patted Jiang Yan's head.

"Xiao Yan, I promise you, I won't sleep so long anymore."

"...pinky promise to hang oneself."

Jiang Guanqing sighed helplessly, then affectionately extended his little finger to make a pinky promise with Jiang Yan, "It will never change, not even for a hundred years."

Fu Chengyan stood outside the door, his gaze fixed on Jiang Guanqing. Seeing that she was awake, he looked at her for a while, then lowered his eyes and turned to leave.

The next morning, after Jiang Guanqing completed the final examination, it was confirmed that he could be discharged from the hospital, but he was instructed to rest.

After completing the discharge procedures, the group left the hospital in a grand procession. Jiang Guanqing was in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the ward by Jiang Yan.

"I'm really fine."

Jiang Guanqing was somewhat helpless. He was actually not injured this time; his leg was perfectly fine.

Jiang Yan pushed forward on her own, her tone leaving no room for argument, "Whether something happens or not, the doctor decides, but I decide on the wheelchair."

Jiang Guanqing pursed her lips, feeling like a pufferfish, now round and plump.

Hmph, push me if you want, I'm not the one who's tired. He needs to eat a little more today to give Xiaoyan more exercise!

Jiang Guanqing and his group did not return directly to Qianmuyuan. Instead, they went to the local police station first to give statements regarding the stage issue. The process was quick.

As soon as the group stepped into Baiyun Courtyard, a rich aroma of food wafted towards them.

"Big brother, welcome home~"

Zhou Linxi sat on a small stool, gazing longingly at the courtyard gate. When she saw Jiang Guanqing and the others return, she sprang up from the stool and ran to Jiang Guanqing.

Seeing that Jiang Guanqing was in a wheelchair, her big eyes instantly became watery. "Big brother, are you in pain?"

Jiang Guanqing glanced at Jiang Yan, stood up, and touched Zhou Linxi's little face. "Look, Xixi, your big brother is fine. Nothing's wrong with him."

Fearing Zhou Linxi wouldn't believe him, he spun around in the same spot to prove it.

Zhou Linxi held back the tears welling up in her eyes, gave a big smile, nodded vigorously, and pulled Jiang Guanqing's hand to walk inside.

Upon hearing the commotion, Cheng Yunqin and the others rushed out of the room, looked Jiang Guanqing up and down, and smiled with relief.

Cheng Yunqin, still wearing her apron, quickly walked up to Jiang Guanqing, her heart aching for him. "You've lost even more weight. You need to eat more for lunch today."

Jiang Guanqing blinked.

Has he lost weight? But it's only been a day and a half!

"Let's eat."

Cheng Yunqin noticed that Jiang Guanqing was getting thinner and thinner. She pulled him toward the wooden table in the courtyard and said, "You just got out of the hospital, so today's dishes are all on the lighter side. Your Uncle Bai specially made some nourishing soup for you. You should drink more of it later."

Jiang Guanqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll eat more. Thank you, Aunt Cheng, thank you, Uncle Bai."

After all the food was served and everyone was seated, Jiang Guanqing glanced around casually and suddenly asked, "Where's Han Ke? Has she already gone back?"

The people at the table exchanged bewildered glances. Lin Jingxiao slapped his thigh, "I forgot, I helped her upstairs not long ago."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jingxiao stood up and walked into the house. Oh no, Sister Han said she would help him up in half an hour, but he had forgotten.

As soon as Lin Jingxiao entered the house, he saw Han Ke with a dark face, slowly making her way down the stairs.

Lin Jingxiao rushed over and helped her up. "Sister Han, I didn't mean to forget."

Han Ke gritted her teeth, "If you did this on purpose, you would have been finished long ago."

Jiang Guanqing frowned slightly when he saw that Han Ke's ankle was swollen like a steamed bun. "What happened to your ankle?"

"It's nothing, I was just hit by a dog."

Jiang Guanqing: (☉｡☉)!

Jiang Guanqing pursed his lips. "I have a box of special ointment that works very well for this kind of injury. I'll get it for you later."

Han Ke nodded coldly.

The meal was enjoyed in a harmonious atmosphere. No one mentioned the dramatic events of the apricot blossom banquet that day. They chatted about interesting things, but unfortunately, since there was no alcohol today, they didn't hear any embarrassing stories about Lin Jingxiao from his childhood.

The filming of the show had long since ended, and most of the staff and filming equipment had been cleared out. Zhou Mu, Xi Xi, and the Lin Jingxiao brothers booked tickets for the afternoon, and after lunch, they prepared to leave Qianmuyuan. Han Ke's agent would also be picking her up later.

Hearing that the group was leaving, Jiang Guanqing felt a little reluctant. He took out the gifts he had prepared and distributed them to Zhou Mu and the others. Jiang Guanqing also received gifts from them.

Before leaving, Han Ke limped over to Jiang Guanqing and stuffed the safety buckle pendant in his hand into Jiang Guanqing's arms, saying, "Consider it a thank-you gift for the ointment."

Jiang Guanqing paused for a moment, then her eyes crinkled into a smile. "Thank you."

Han Ke didn't respond, but the tips of her ears turned red, and she jumped around a bit faster.

After Jiang Guanqing saw Zhou Mu and his group off, the Baiyun Courtyard became quieter and less noisy.

As the sky was ablaze with the colors of the sunset, Jiang Yan received a call from the police station.

"...Okay, thank you."

Jiang Yan hung up the phone, sat back down next to Jiang Guanqing, and poured him a glass of water.

"Big brother, Nam Yoon-ah mentioned you during the interrogation. She has admitted that she tampered with the supporting wood of the stage to harm you... She is currently under criminal detention on suspicion of intentional injury and will be transferred to the prosecutor's office for review and prosecution later."

Jiang Guanqing was silent for a moment, then said, "The stage collapsed..."

"After technical inspection, it was found that the stage collapsed, but the problem was more serious with the stage itself, so it cannot be entirely blamed on her. The two staff members responsible for routine maintenance did not conduct on-site inspections according to standards, and the inspection reports and signatures were all just formalities. Now, the two have been criminally detained on suspicion of major liability accident and providing false certification documents. Their cases will be combined with Nam Yoon-ah's case to pursue criminal liability together."

Jiang Guanqing pursed his lips, looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and said nothing.

The next morning, Jiang Yan received another call from the police station, this time from the Jingbei City Police Department.

Nam Yoon-ah has been found to be connected to multiple cases in Gyeongbuk City. She will be escorted back to Gyeongbuk City, and the case of intentional injury at the theater will be transferred along with it. Once she arrives in Gyeongbuk City, the cases will be closed, and she will be punished for all crimes.
