âYoung Master Wen Yan, thereâs a package here for you. The person who sent it was Young Master Jian Yunmo. It was sent from Hengyuan City a few days ago.â
Jian Yunmo asked the housekeeper of the Old Jian Residence to help him send this package.
Initially, Wen Yan did not plan to open the door. However, when he heard the words of the servant, he slowly moved towards the door.
By the time he reached the door, the servant had already left. The package was left on the floor at the entrance of his room.
Wen Yan slowly bent down and picked the package up from the ground.
When he returned to his room, Wen Yan unwrapped the package.
It was a small notebook inside the package.
The notebook had a pink cartoon cover and seemed very girlish.
In his recollection, he only knew one person who would use such a thing.
Jian Yiling.
When she was young, Jian Yiling loved this color and pattern.
Wen Yan slowly began to flip through the notebook.
The notebook was filled with a childâs scribbles and wonky handwriting.
It was Jian Yilingâs writing.
He flicked the pages, one by one.
Then, he paused on a page:
Brother Wen Yan still refuses to come out of his room. He must be very sad right?
If I lost the ability to walk, I would be sad as well. I wouldnât be able to even eat!
I followed Sister Wen Ruoâs advice, but he still didnât leave his room.
Sister Wen Ruo told me to persist. She said that one day was not enough.
Thatâs right. I must persist!
But itâs really difficult to think of mean things to say. My brain hurts already.
Wen Yanâs expression went from surprise to bitterness.
As he flipped through the notebook, unknowingly, his face became streaked with tears.
What a silly yet persistent dummy.

After leaving the Wen Residence, Jian Yunmo immediately headed to the Jian familyâs Beijing Residence.
Feng Wei couldnât help but comment: âWow, youâre such a busy person. You donât even take a moment to rest.â
âIf youâre busy, you can go back first. However, leave the driver behind.â
âHey, can you please have some conscience? I put off my work to accompany you!â
âYou just want me to reveal what Yiling has been up to recently right?â
âCough cough⦠That is the main reason⦠However, our friendship also plays a small partâ¦â
If he followed Jian Yiling around, he could earn easy money!
However, Jian Yiling always abandoned him.
âI donât interfere with Yilingâs business. She deals with these matters herself.â
âBut she always listens to you.â
âThe opposite is true.â
âOh right. Itâs you who always listens to her.â
Very soon, Jian Yunmo reached the Jian Residence in Beijing. As Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian did not know he was coming, they were very surprised to see him.
âYunmo, why are you here? Why didnât you tell us about this in advance?â Grandma Jian exclaimed with surprise.
âIâm only coming back for one day. Iâm leaving tomorrow,â Jian Yunmo explained.
âWhat? So soon? Itâs rare for everyone to be here. Canât you stay for one more day?â Grandma Jian said. She was a bit sad.
Each and every one of them were?white-eyed wolves1. They never returned back home! They didnât appreciate her!
âGrandma,â Jian Yunmo smiled as he attempted to coax her. âIâm in the middle of my experiment. I canât leave for a long period of time. Once Iâm done with this experiment, I will take a break okay? I will come back and accompany you.â
âI will remember this! If you donât end up coming back, I will bring Yiling to live with me in the mountains! You wonât be able to see her again!â
âGrandma, are you only taking Yiling? What about Grandpa? Grandpa will cry!â
âExcuse me? Why would I ever cry?â Grandpa Jian immediately retorted: âThat old woman can go wherever she wants! I will be at peace if she leaves me alone! However, even if she leaves, Yiling must stay with me!â
