When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Upon hearing this...

Shen Weilan felt a sudden stinging sensation in the tip of her nose.

She turned to look at Jiang Feng, a hint of barely perceptible grievance flashing in his usually clear and cold eyes, and her lips pursed slightly.

Deep in her memory, whenever she suffered injustice outside, it was a memory.

Jiang Feng would always comfort her in a slightly teasing yet incredibly gentle tone.

Seeing her like this...

Jiang Feng felt as if his heart had been struck hard by something.

Tell me, who in the whole school has ever seen the aloof school beauty show such a pitiful and endearing expression?

However, he quickly suppressed the emotional turmoil in his heart.

"Were you angry in the car just now because I added that girl on WeChat?"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and waved the screen in front of Shen Weilan.

"See, I didn't add any."

The screen remained on the scan interface, and no friend request had been sent at all.

"There were so many people on the bus at the time, including her classmates and friends who were watching."

"The girl is shy, and this is probably the first time she's asked a boy for his WeChat."

"If I had rejected her in public, she would have been embarrassed and unable to save face, so I just pretended to glance at her."

Seeing this scene.

For some reason, the weight that had been hanging over Shen Weilan's heart suddenly lifted.

It turns out that Jiang Feng didn't add that girl as a friend.

But seeing the obvious teasing smile on Jiang Feng's face, she still stubbornly turned her head away.

"Then... what does that have to do with me?"

"Add it or not, it's up to you!"

Just then, the elevator "dinged" and arrived at the eighteenth floor.

The elevator doors opened.

Shen Weilan fled the elevator as if she were escaping.

Jiang Feng followed behind at a leisurely pace.

I pushed open the door and changed into slippers.

Jiang Feng shouted loudly into the house, "Mom! Have you eaten? I'm so hungry!"

Just now.

A system notification sounded in my mind again.

[Ding! Host detected returning home, triggering a mission to make amends!]

[Background: In his early years, the Great Emperor was timid and introverted, feeling his parents were biased, leading to a very strained relationship with them. Later, he joined the army and fought in distant lands for many years, but even after his parents passed away, he was unable to open his heart to them and restore their familial bond. This was a major rift in the Great Emperor's heart in his later years!]

[Mission Requirements: Within three days, please repair your relationship with your parents and restore harmony to your family!]

[Mission Rewards: Emperor-Rank Cultivation Potion: Supreme Blood Essence! Emperor-Rank Martial Skill: Emperor Fist!]

Jiang Feng was overjoyed; the system had triggered another mission, and the rewards were even richer. However, he remained outwardly calm.

at this time.

Jiang Jianguo, the father of Jiang, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, put down the TV remote control.

He looked at the two people at the door with some surprise.

"You two...came back together today?"

Jiang Jianguo is in his early fifties, with graying temples and a pair of reading glasses perched on his nose.

Over the years, he has worked as a senior technician at a state-owned machine tool factory in Linchuan City.

With his excellent skills, he can earn 12,000 yuan a month.

For an average family, this income is quite considerable, enough for them to live a comfortable life.

But this is a world of advanced martial arts!

A martial artist's consumption is a bottomless pit. The most common bottle of basic Qi and Blood potion on the market costs a full three thousand yuan!

These prices are simply unaffordable for ordinary families like theirs.

Faced with his father's doubts, Jiang Feng put down his schoolbag and said matter-of-factly, "Dad! Wei Lan is my sister, of course I'll come back with her."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jianguo adjusted his glasses, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Today, my son spoke with a strong voice, and the gloom between his brows was gone.

It seems... that you've become much more cheerful?

In a daze, Jiang Jianguo seemed to see Jiang Feng's mischievous yet sunny appearance when he was a child.

at this time.

Liu Aifang, who was busy in the kitchen, hurriedly came out with a spatula in her hand.

She looked surprised when she saw the brother and sister standing side by side at the door.

"Wei Lan, did you... come back with your brother today?"

Moreover, my son seemed much more cheerful today.

In the past, I would hide in my room as soon as I entered the door.

Shen Weilan will come out after she finishes eating.

Upon hearing his wife's question, Jiang Jianguo's expression changed slightly as he sat on the sofa.

He knew it very well.

In the past two years, since Shen Weilan showed her martial arts talent, her son has become increasingly self-conscious, and their relationship has long since reached a freezing point.

Wei Lan hasn't even called Jiang Feng "brother" in a long time.

What if I upset her and make her angry?

however.

What Jiang Jianguo didn't expect was...

Upon hearing Jiang's mother's question, Shen Weilan did not show any displeasure.

She nodded slightly, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Jiang Feng beside her.

"Um."

"Today... I took the bus home with my brother."

The clear and melodious "Brother" echoed in the living room.

Liu Aifang was stunned for a moment, then her face broke into a wildly joyful smile.

She was just an ordinary stock clerk in a large supermarket, not very educated, but kind-hearted, and treated Shen Weilan like her own daughter.

Now that she sees the relationship between the siblings has improved, she is happier than anyone else.

"Oh! That's good, that's good!"

Liu Aifang excitedly waved the spatula in her hand and shouted, "Our supermarket just received a batch of low-grade exotic beast meat today, and the manager has specially approved a special price for our internal employees!"

"I bought two pounds, and it's been stewing in the pressure cooker for over two hours. It smells amazing!"

"Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner will be served soon!"

After saying that, she seemed to remember something, turned to Jiang Feng with a stern face, and started rambling on.

"Jiang Feng, I'm warning you, from now on you have to come home from school with your sister, understand?"

"You know how beautiful our Weilan is, and the bus is always crowded."

"What if some shady guys harass her? You're her older brother, you have to protect her!"

Faced with his mother's familiar barrage of questions, Jiang Feng didn't feel annoyed at all; instead, he felt a long-lost sense of warmth.

But he knew his mother's fighting prowess.

If you start talking about this, you could go on for two hours straight without repeating yourself.

"Mom! Don't worry!"

"From today onwards, I promise to go to and from school with Weilan every day and be her devoted bodyguard!"

"Go check on the dishes in the kitchen, make sure the meat doesn't burn! I'm going back to my room to change!"

Jiang Feng quickly raised his hands in surrender and shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, he had already dashed into his second bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Even an old emperor couldn't avoid his mother's nagging skills!

Watching Jiang Feng's hasty retreat and somewhat comical movements.

Shen Weilan, standing at the door, had a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

The corners of his usually aloof mouth unconsciously curved into a beautiful smile.
