Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 3 Family

After Wang Zijin left, Yang Wu found an empty private room and sat down.

As the head of the security force at this bar and a senior student at the martial arts school, Yang Wu was naturally not bothered by anyone.

Sitting in the private room, Yang Wu was quietly thinking.

Yang Wu, who had lived two lives, was fully aware of Prince Jin's plans.

However, Yang Wu showed no aversion whatsoever.

Wang Zijin is a very good person.

Three years ago, when Yang Wu first transmigrated to this world, he was in a hospital.

At the time, Yang Wu was seriously injured and hospitalized after a conflict with thugs from other establishments while he was guarding a bar. The scar on Yang Wu's face was left from that conflict.

Wang Zijin not only visited him in person several times, but also reimbursed all medical expenses and nutritional costs.

Afterwards, all the injured were rewarded with a sum of money, with Yang Wu receiving the most.

That's why, after recovering his health, Yang Wu, who had traveled through time, did not choose to leave the bar but continued working there.

However, joining the Wang family would offer much better benefits, but the constraints would also be much greater than the current simple working relationship.

Moreover, they will inevitably get involved in some conflicts, which would contradict Yang Wu's salted fish plan.

Ultimately, it comes down to Yang Wu's lack of talent.

If one possessed the strength of a war god, there wouldn't be so many problems and dilemmas.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Wu still couldn't come up with a final solution, so he could only take it one step at a time.

Anyway, Luo Feng's rise to power was very short-lived. No matter what, if I really encounter trouble that I can't solve, I'll have no choice but to swallow my pride and ask Luo Feng for help.

After staying in the bar for a while, Yang Wu got up and went home at nine o'clock in the evening.

Yang Wu's family originally lived in a low-rent housing community, but after Yang Wu transmigrated three years ago, he used the rewards and various reimbursements given to him by Wang Zijin, along with some of his family's savings, to finally move to a mid-range community.

Lanta Community, that's the name of the community where Yang Wu's family lives now.

As a mid-range residential area, the land utilization rate of Lanta Community is naturally not as tight as that of the original low-rent housing communities. There are also some green spaces and small gardens in the community.

Taking the elevator, Yang Wu quickly returned to his home on the 26th floor.

"Click!" Yang Wu turned the key, opened the door, and went inside.

"Brother!" A boy who was doing his homework in the hall called out happily when he saw Yang Wu come in.

The boy is Yang Wu's younger brother, Yang Fan, who is currently in his third year of junior high school. Yang Wu also has an older sister, Yang Yun, who is already married.

Hearing the boy's shout, a middle-aged couple came out of the room.

"Ah Wu's back! Have you eaten yet? There's still some food in the kitchen, I'll go heat it up for you!" the middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"Dad, Mom! I haven't eaten yet today, I'm starving!"

Yang Wu looked at his parents, Yang Yuande and Liu Yuhua.

"Then you wait here!" Liu Yuhua said with a smile, "Mom will go heat up the food right away!"

Their family is now able to live in this mid-range neighborhood thanks entirely to their eldest son's hard work. Although she can't help with other things, she can still make sure her son has a hot meal when he comes home.

Yang Wu couldn't help but smile. After three years of time travel, he had completely integrated into this family.

His father, mother, sister, and brother all cared about him a lot, and that felt good.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu couldn't help but recall his parents from his previous life.

He wondered how his original parents were doing now that he had transmigrated. Fortunately, he had an older brother, so his parents wouldn't be destitute in their old age.

"Awu, didn't you go to see Xiaofeng take the college entrance exam today? How did he do?" Yang Yuande came over and asked while his mother was heating up the food.

Yang Wu knew something about his son's good friend Luo Feng, and Luo Feng had visited Yang Wu's home several times.

Yang Fan, who was standing next to him, also immediately perked up his ears to listen.

Besides his second brother Yang Wu, Yang Fan admires Luo Feng the most.

Despite coming from an ordinary family, he was able to become a senior student at a martial arts school in high school, an achievement that even his second brother, Yang Wu, could not attain.

Yang Fan's target is Luo Feng!

Of course, Yang Wu was unaware of this. If he had known, he would have been shocked by his younger brother's lofty goal.

"Ah Feng had some problems with his exam today. He fainted in the exam room during the math exam!" Yang Wu shook his head and said calmly.

"Ah!" Yang Fan exclaimed in surprise, and quickly asked, "Second Brother, is Brother Feng alright?"

"It's nothing serious. When I came back from the hospital, Ah Feng had already woken up and was getting ready to be discharged!" Yang Wu nodded in reply.

"That's good!" Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said softly, "But... Brother Feng fainted in the exam room, so he probably didn't finish the test. What about his exam results?"

"You're still worrying about others!" Yang Yuande lightly slapped Yang Fan on the shoulder and scolded with a laugh, "Even if Xiao Feng missed one exam, his grades would still be much better than yours! Look at you, all you do is practice martial arts all day, and you get distracted when it comes to studying. If you keep going like this, you probably won't even be able to get into a vocational college in three years!"

"My second brother didn't go to university back then, but he's doing just fine now, isn't he? I'm not going to university either, I want to be a martial artist!" Yang Fan retorted.

"I'll make sure you don't go to college! I'll make sure you don't go to college!" Yang Yuande suddenly struck, slapping Yang Fan several times, though not with much force. "Go do your homework now, or I'll skin you alive!"

Helpless, Yang Fan could only hide aside and continue doing his homework, but he kept listening to the conversation between Yang Wu and Yang Fan.

After scolding Yang Fan away, Yang Yuande asked Yang Wu with some concern, "Wu, Xiaofeng's exam should be fine, right? Didn't he say he planned to apply to military academy? I wonder if he can still make it?"

"Military academy? University?" Yang Wu chuckled inwardly. "Why bother with university? You probably don't know, but four years later, Luo Feng will be able to possess the Golden Horned Beast!"

However, Yang Wu couldn't say that. "Dad, don't worry, there shouldn't be any problem! Besides, Luo Feng is still young; at worst, he can repeat a year!"

Just then, Liu Yuhua suddenly called out from the kitchen, "Yuande, the food is heated up, can you help me carry it?"

Yang Yuande quickly got up and went to the kitchen, and Yang Wu hurriedly followed.

Upon entering the restaurant, Yang Wu saw a table full of food.

Although my parents and younger brother had already eaten dinner, more than half of each dish was still left uneaten.

Meanwhile, a large amount of rice was also placed in the pot.

Yang Yuande and the others knew that Yang Wu's cultivation required a lot of energy, so he would always leave more than half of the food behind.

Aside from Yang Fan eating more as he grew, Yang Yuande and his wife ate very little, even when they were hungry they ate more rice.

If Yang Wu had eaten dinner, these dishes would become the family of four's breakfast the next day.

Although living conditions are much better now, Yang Wu's parents still don't want to waste a single grain of food.

Together with his father, Yang Wu brought the food to the table. After his parents refused to eat any more, Yang Wu began to enjoy his dinner.

Watching Yang Wu eat, Yang Fan quietly did his homework beside him. Yang Yuande and Liu Yuhua exchanged a glance and smiled happily.
