It was 7:55 p.m. that evening.

Jiang Guanqing sat on the soft sofa in the living room, with a phone stand for live streaming in front of him, while Jiang Zhuo fiddled with the phone he would be using for the live stream.

"Big brother, it's done."

"Um."

At 8:00 sharp, Jiang Zhuo started his live stream, and almost instantly, the number of viewers in the live stream began to jump wildly. The barrage of comments surged in so fast that the words were almost impossible to read.

Sleepy Chicken Leg: Bro, are you okay? You scared me to death, waaaaaah!

Ximu: I heard you had a concussion, are you really okay? Don't lie to us!

Jasmine in the Rain: The program's statement was too official; I don't believe it. I only believe what you said yourself.

Childhood Paper Mandarin Duck: Qingqing's face is so pale, did she not get enough rest?

Jiang Guanqing felt a warm glow in her heart as she looked at the screen full of concern. She smiled and said, "Good evening, everyone. I'm fine, really."

Jiang Guanqing paused, stood up, took several steps back to make sure he was fully visible on camera, then spun around in place. "Look, I'm alive and kicking. Thank you everyone for your concern."

I went home after the ending T^T: Waaaaah, my face is still so pale, big brother, don't try to be brave.

Brown sugar water vs. white sugar water: Okay, okay, big brother, we believe you, sit down and rest.

2-8 Chinese characters: Brother, what exactly happened to the stage? Was it really deliberately collapsed by Nam Yoon-ah?

Wangwangxi: I heard online that she has been criminally detained. Will she ever be released?

Seeing everyone asking about the collapsed stage and Nan Yun'er, Jiang Guanqing's smile faded, and his expression turned serious. "Leave legal matters to the law. Everyone, please don't get too agitated. Listen to official announcements and take care of yourselves, okay?"

At the end of the live stream, Jiang Guanqing looked at the camera with a smile in his eyes, "Thank you everyone for your love and concern, goodnight."

Jiang Yan and the others were worried about Jiang Guanqing's health, and with Cheng Yunqin's warm invitation, Jiang Guanqing and the others stayed at Baiyun Courtyard for another three days.

For the past three days, Bai Jin has been making various kinds of soup for Jiang Guanqing, while Bai Xin has been instructed by his father to pick the freshest fruits and vegetables from the garden and buy the freshest vegetables from the market every morning.

Although Bai Xin was willing to do this, he always felt like he was adopted.

The night before we parted, it rained on Qianmuyuan, and the next morning the mountains were shrouded in mist.

Thinking that the children were going back to Beijing, Cheng Yunqin and Bai Jintian got up before dawn, rummaged through drawers and cabinets to pack their things, and made breakfast. By the time Jiang Guanqing and the others got up and dragged their suitcases downstairs, the living room floor was already piled with luggage.

It rained last night, and Jiang Guanqing's legs and lower back ached and swelled. He was woken up in the middle of the night because of the discomfort. He tried to endure it, but Jiang Yan found out and he was up for a long time.

Jiang Guanqing held onto the stair railing and slowly descended the stairs, her complexion lacking the rosy glow of the previous two days.

Seeing that Jiang Guanqing looked unwell, Cheng Yunqin rushed forward anxiously. "Guanqing, did you not sleep well? Or are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale, and your hands are cold?"

Jiang Guanqing smiled, not wanting Cheng Yunqin to worry, "Aunt Cheng, I'm fine. It rained last night, so I didn't get much rest."

Cheng Yunqin patted Jiang Guanqing's hand and led him to the dining table, muttering, "You're all busy, otherwise Aunt Cheng would really like you to stay a few more days."

Jiang Guanqing felt a warm glow in his heart. Cheng Yunqin and Bai Jin were really good to them, the kind of kindness that the closest elders showed to the younger generation.

Three cars were parked outside Baiyun Courtyard. After finishing their meal, Cheng Yunqin directed Bai Jin to load the things into the cars.

"Aunt Cheng, this is too much..." The trunks of all three cars were packed full. Because their suitcases took up some space, Cheng Yunqin stuffed them into other empty spaces in the cars.

"Not much, not much, this car is too small."

Cheng Yunqin kept working, stuffing a bag of dried sweet potatoes, tightly wrapped in oil paper, into the glove compartment on the passenger side.

"These are all homemade, without any random additives, so I feel safe eating them."

Like most fathers, Bai Jin is not a man of many words. At this moment, he was quietly packing two jars of pickled green beans, dried shiitake mushrooms, and sealed cured pork into the trunk.

After finishing coding, he took a bag of boiled eggs from inside the house and stuffed it into Gong Bolin's hand, saying, "Take this and eat it on the way."

Gong Bolin looked at the bag of eggs in his hand, his cold and stern expression softening slightly. "Thank you, Uncle Bai."

Cheng Yunqin held Jiang Guanqing's hand with a face full of reluctance, muttering that Jiang Guanqing was too thin and needed to eat more. As she muttered, she suddenly turned around and went back into the house. When she came out again, she was carrying a thermos in her arms.

"I just made some red date, longan, and white fungus soup. Have it on the way. Guanqing, your complexion is still pale. You need to take good care of yourself when you get back. Don't take your youth for granted..."

Jiang Guanqing's heart softened, and he stepped forward to give Cheng Yunqin a gentle hug. "Aunt Cheng, I'm fine. We'll come back to see you and Uncle Bai when we're less busy in a while, or we can take you to Jingbei City for a visit."

"Okay, okay."

Cheng Yunqin seemed to remember something, turned around and pulled a large bag from the house, which was filled with tea leaves. "This is tea that we roast ourselves. You young people work hard, don't just drink coffee every day..."

Bai Xin finally couldn't hold back any longer and put his arm around Cheng Yunqin's shoulder from behind, saying helplessly, "Mom, there's really no more room."

"If it won't fit, tie it to the roof of the car!"

Cheng Yunqin was in a bad mood. When she heard Bai Xin speak, she turned her head and glared at him.

Bai Xin: (。-_-。)

The last few cars were packed full. After the cars started, Cheng Yunqin stood at the gate of the courtyard and waved vigorously. Bai Jin stood behind Cheng Yunqin and told them to report that they were safe when they arrived and to drive carefully on the road.

The car slowly drove away, and after turning a corner, Baiyun Courtyard disappeared from sight. Jiang Guanqing looked away, tightened his grip on the thermos, and felt a deep sense of reluctance.

"Brother, you didn't rest well last night, take a nap now." Jiang Yan took a blanket and covered Jiang Guanqing with it, then adjusted the chair.

"Um."

In Baiyun Courtyard, Cheng Yunqin and Bai Jin watched the car disappear from sight before walking side by side into the courtyard.

The children went to Beijing, and the house suddenly felt empty, leaving both of them feeling a little uneasy.

Cheng Yunqin went upstairs, thinking of tidying up a few rooms. She opened the room where Jiang Guanqing slept. The bed was made neatly, and everything was clean and tidy, obviously having been cleaned up. There were several boxes on the table.

"This child, he didn't forget his things, did he?"

Cheng Yunqin frowned slightly, but when she got closer, she was stunned. There was a note on the gift box in the middle with Jiang Guanqing's elegant handwriting on it.

[Aunt Cheng, Uncle Bai: Thank you for taking care of us these past few days. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it, otherwise we'll feel embarrassed to come again next time~*⸜(•ᴗ•)⸝*]

Cheng Yunqin opened several boxes, inside which was an exquisite handmade rattan gift box. Lifting the lid, she found a complete set of skincare products neatly arranged. The other boxes contained a neck massager, ready-to-eat bird's nest, and a light apricot-colored handmade shawl…

Bai Jin was washing dishes downstairs when he heard Cheng Yunqin's shout. Thinking something had happened, he quickly ran upstairs. "What's wrong?"

"Look at this child..."

When Cheng Yunqin saw people coming up, she held up a box and showed it to Bai Jin, "How much money will these children cost...?"

Bai Jin's gaze fell on the box, which contained a set of top-of-the-line German-imported kitchen knives, with a line of small characters engraved on the box.

May Uncle Bai find joy in every meal and every season.

Bai Jin remained silent for a long while, his slightly rough fingers tracing the inscription. After a long pause, he sighed softly, "These kids..."

Cheng Yunqin was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. She regretted not having them bring another car so she could pack more things.
