Shi Xiu’s spirits lifted. She stretched and leaned back in her seat as she said, “Yan Tang and Xiao Zhao want to form a band, Yun Nan. They’ve already written a few songs and made demos. I’ve heard the songs. They’re really, really good! Their voices are simply amazing!”

“Yan Tang wants us to do a few interviews with them before they officially release their songs, as a teaser for the new band and their songs and also as an official farewell to the past. What do you think of this idea?”

Before Yun Nan could say anything, Shi Xiu continued, “Lu Hui and I checked their previous figures. Their fans from before are now in their thirties and forties. If these fans return, their sway will be sothing to reckon with. Yun Nan, I really think that this matter is a good idea! We should do it!” Yun Nan chuckled, “If that’s what you think, then go ahead and do it!”

“But I don’t have any experience. I want your support!” Shi Xiu bashfully uttered. “What would I do without you? Our entire family wouldn’t know what to do without you! Dearest sister-in-law, I can live without my brother, Shi Nian, but I can’t live without you, Yun Nan!”

Yun Nan interrupted Shi Xiu’s continuous stream of flattery. “Alright, keep your sweet talk for soone else! Try to hurry up and arrive within the next five minutes. I can delay things for that bit longer, so there’s still hope for you getting here before things start!”

“Five minutes?” Shi Xiu looked at the alley not far away. “Five minutes is enough!” She got out of the taxi and bolted off in her nearly ten-centiter-high heels before suddenly rembering that she still had a ‘debtee’ to deal with. She turned around, ran back, and grabbed an eyebrow pencil from her handbag but realized she had no paper. Seeing this, Lan Long handed his phone over to her.

Shi Xiu took the phone and keyed in her phone number. “This is my number. There’s a cafe downstairs. You can wait for there. I’ll be done in about two hours. You can give a call then. Put the coffee on my tab!”

Lan Long looked at the string of numbers on his phone and then at the girl sprinting away in a hurry, and smiled in amusent. ‘D*mn, the Shi family sure is lucky. Why are all the beautiful and cute girls gathered in that family? That won’t do. The heavens are too biased. I’ll have to correct this!’

Thanks to the nearby entertainnt company, Yun Innovations, the coffee shop at the alley’s entrance was doing quite well. The owner of the shop, a lady called Miss Wang, was smart and good with people. Through her efforts and people skills, she managed to make her coffee shop ‘Creative Yun’ the second ho of Yun Innovations’ staff.

As soon as Yun Nan entered the shop, Miss Wang ca over and smilingly asked, “Oh, hello there. I heard you’re busy lately; where did you find the ti to co here today?”

Yun Nan chuckled, “Yeah, I’ve been quite busy. I need a pick--up. Quick, get a large cup of black coffee!”

“Did you stay up all night again?” Miss Wang lightly chided. “You can’t disregard your health just because you’re young, you know! Have a seat and wait.” Miss Wang turned around and instructed the barista, “Prepare a cup of black coffee and a cup of warm milk for Miss Yun. Oh, and cut up a plate of fresh fruits for her. Go!”

Lan Long saw Yun Nan the mont she entered the cafe. He picked up his coffee and was about to head over when he noticed a man with stubbles sitting himself down opposite her.

Yun Nan stared at the man sitting before her, Yun Zhang, speechless and in shock. Yun Zhang looked at his younger sister, and the bitter sadness in his smile was evident as he stated, “You can’t recognize ?”

Indeed, the Yun Zhang before Yun Nan was nearly unrecognizable; he looked worn out and as if he’d been through turbulent tis. His hair was long, and his face was full of stubble. There was no trace of the dashing and suave man he once was. Instead, he seed like he’d experienced strenuous hardships on so remote mountain. “Where have you been? How did you end up like this?”

Yun Nan asked.

The barista brought over coffee, warm milk, and fruits. Yun Nan pushed the glass of milk toward Yun Zhang. “Drink so warm milk first.”

Yun Zhang smiled, his eyes gentle. “Thank you!” He reached out and held the glass of milk but made no move to drink it, feeling the warmth of the glass in his hands. Yun Nan noticed the calluses on his fingers and was even more puzzled about what Yun Zhang had experienced.

Yun Zhang looked at Yun Nan and said calmly, “I went to where you lived when you were a kid and followed the route you wandered all the way ho. I did all the odd jobs you’d done and re-walked the path you’d once tread.”

“Yun Nan, I’m sorry. Our entire family, all of us, has let you down.” Yun Zhang had repeated this sentence countless tis in his heart along his journey, and now that he could finally say it to his sister in person, his voice couldn’t help but catch.

Yun Nan was at first surprised, and then she found herself letting go of the disappointnt she’d felt toward her elder brother in her heart. Her eyes slightly reddened as she muttered, “There was no need for that, silly.”

‘Yes, there is! Only then will I know how much we owe you. Yun Nan, I’m not asking for your forgiveness. I only hope that you can still acknowledge as your brother,” Yun Zhang said softly..
