"Yueyue, you have to co visit Jing City when you have ti," Qin Anyu urged, with a thousand words in her heart that she wanted to share with Tang Yue, but she didn’t know what to say, and could only speak the simplest words.
"Yeah, Yueyue, co to Jing City when you’re free, we’ll take you out to have fun," Zhao Rou also couldn’t bear to see Tang Yue leave; she and Cheng Ziqing often visited Star Bright and were completely conquered by the clothes made by Tang Yue.
Cheng Ziqing also awkwardly said, "These are so tasty snacks from Jing City, take them with you to eat on the way ho."
"Ah, why didn’t I think of that." Seeing Cheng Ziqing bringing so delicious food, Zhao Rou instantly wished she could whack herself for not having thought of it.
Qin Anyu hurried over just as Tang Yue and the others were boarding the train, carrying a big bag with her. Sweat was beading on her forehead as she smiled and said, "And this, for you to eat on the road."
Tang Yue looked at the big bag and wondered if it was possible to finish all of it on the way.
The snacks she bought were all imported from abroad, and Tang Yue couldn’t figure out how she managed to buy so many in such short notice. Tang Yue wanted to refuse, but Qin Anyu didn’t give her the chance, saying, "Xiao Jun, co on, take this for , all of you can share it, and next ti you co to Jing City, I’ll take you all out to play."
Tang Jun caught the bag, sowhat bewildered. Once on the train, he couldn’t help but express his admiration, "Sister, you’re really impressive. You make money doing business even on a trip to Jing City."
"You guys did great too for sticking it out," Tang Yue praised as she looked at the three of them. Their spirits were quite different compared to when they had arrived; in fact, they had all shot up quite a bit in height.
"Xiao Jun, I really think you’ve grown a lot," Tang Yue said as she sized up Tang Jun.
She hadn’t noticed it before, but now standing right beside Tang Jun, who used to be about the sa height or even a bit shorter than her, he was now taller than her.
"Hehe, Sister, I am a man, of course, I have to grow tall," Tang Jun said happily.
Everyone was excited on the way back.
Tang Yue closed her eyes, thinking of Mo Siyu, always feeling very heartbroken for him. He pushed himself too hard.
His leg injury had just healed, and yet he had gone on another mission.
Although the mission this ti was said to be not dangerous, Tang Yue still couldn’t help worrying.
They ate lunch on the train, but the food wasn’t tasty, so they ate the roast duck brought by Cheng Ziqing and the instant noodles and other snacks given by Qin Anyu.
"Big Sister, Brother Mo is so impressive," Tang Jun exclaid excitedly. He didn’t feel it so much back at ho, but after spending so ti with the Bailutong Team, he ca to realize Mo Siyu’s reputation within the drivers— it was nothing short of legendary.
Tang Yue asked curiously.
The three of them took turns sharing their thoughts, and from their descriptions, there was nothing but admiration for Mo Siyu.
Mo Siyu completed one difficult task after another. Moreover, there was never a task he couldn’t complete, and he even earned the boss’s trust and had a say in the team.
Listening to this, all Tang Yue could feel was sympathy for Mo Siyu. Him being so young and yet so heavily relied on in a big company like the Bailutong Team was all owed to his sweat and blood.
Outsiders only saw the glamour surrounding Mo Siyu, but had no idea how much he had sacrificed for all of it.

Jiang City.
"We’re finally here."
The three of them, Tang Jun included, couldn’t help but marvel, having taken the train, and although it was nice in Jing City, returning to Jiang City felt like coming ho.
"Sister Xiao Yue, Xiao Jun, Qiangzi, do you want to co to my house for lunch?" Wei Jiajie invited warmly.
"No need." Tang Yue declined, "We should head back early too. Can you make it ho by yourself?"
"Sure." Wei Jiajie saw them off to the car, saying, "I’ll co to visit you guys."
Tang Yue: ...
School is about to start, can’t Wei Jiajie stay at ho even for one day?
When Wei Jiajie returned ho with his backpack, Mrs. Wei exclaid in surprise, "Jiajie, how co you’ve lost so much weight? And you’ve gotten so much tanner?"
"Mom, I’m so much stronger now." Wei Jiajie said excitedly, flexing his muscles, showing off his now firm physique, unlike in the past when he was pale and chubby – but that chubbiness was just flab.
"Mom, I had so much fun in the team." Wei Jiajie began to recount the amusing stories from the Bailutong Team.
Mrs. Wei’s initial heartache turned into relief.
At dinner, when Mr. Wei ca ho and saw his son, of course, he was happy, especially when Wei Jiajie talked about the team. The zest Wei Jiajie radiated from inside out pleased both Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei.
They used to think their son was immature, poor at studies, and not fond of exercise. But now, he loved studying, took to sports, and after his stint with the team, he not only straightened his slight hunched back but also got rid of his picky eating habits.
Mr. Wei was so delighted that he called Wei Jiajia and reminded Mrs. Wei to thank Tang Yue thoroughly when Jiajia had her baby.
"I know, we used to think poorly of the Tang Family, and now?" Mrs. Wei was inwardly delighted.
"Good," Mr. Wei’s smile never left his face.
The Tang Family.
Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian had called Tang Yue a few tis and, knowing she was alright, felt relieved. But as it was their daughter’s first ti away from them for such a long period, Zhang Hualian missed her.
Yet, knowing her daughter was on important business, Zhang Hualian refrained from voicing her wishes, only indirectly inquired Tang Mingli several tis about when Tang Yue would return.
"Sister-in-law, Xiao Yue said she would be back in a few days." Tang Mingli, upon confirming Tang Yue’s return date, imdiately relayed the news, thinking to himself that he must have a good talk with Tang Yue once she was back. Her prolonged absence had indeed worried him.
But when Tang Yue did return with Tang Jun and Zhang Qiang, Tang Mingli couldn’t bring himself to utter a word of reprimand.
Zhang Hualian was thrilled to see her daughter and son.
Zhang Qiang, who hadn’t been ho for a long ti, witnessed this scene and yearned for ho too.
At dinner, the families of Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli gathered happily, hmm, and Tang Zhengyuan was also there.
Nowadays, Tang Zhengyuan was doing better and better at the factory. With Wang Aihua no longer stirring things up, the three brothers often enjoyed little drinks together when they had spare ti, making their relationship much deeper than before.
Tang Yue quietly told Zhang Hualian the truth – that she had gone to Jing City rather than Shenzhen.
Zhang Hualian looked intently at Tang Yue and asked, "Did you go to see Mo Siyu? You and him, haven’t you already..." With her hands clenching Tang Yue’s, Zhang Hualian looked at her shocked, anxious though hesitant to speak out.
"No." Tang Yue hurriedly explained, "Mom, he just hurt his leg, so I went to see him. There’s been nothing beyond the line between us."
Tang Yue felt a bit guilty saying this because, although she and Mo Siyu hadn’t taken the last step, the hugs and kisses were not at all few.
"That’s good." Zhang Hualian breathed a sigh of relief knowing her daughter hadn’t lost out, and she said sternly, "Xiao Yue, Mom won’t oppose you dating Mo Siyu, but if you dare to do anything beyond the line with him before marriage, I will break your legs!"
