"Okay, there we go. Now your ankle won't hurt anymore." Ash smiled, then inserted a silver needle into another spot on May's leg.

"Mm! Thank you, big brother, it feels so comfortable!" May said happily.

"Alright, May, let's continue exercising. If we try to come to the infirmary every week, your ankle will definitely be able to recover to normal!" Ash said, patting May on the head.

"Okay! Big brother!" May said obediently.

Immediately, the two siblings continued their physical training.

It wasn't until 10:00 AM that Ash and May finished their workout, and then Ash took May to Misty's house to greet her.

"May, you're here." Seeing May arrive at her home, Misty stood up quickly and said.

"Mm-hmm! Hello, big sister Misty." May replied politely.

"Long time no see, May is getting prettier and prettier." Misty praised with a smile.

"No way! I've just put on a little weight, that's all," May said.

"Hehe, putting on weight is good; it makes you even cuter," Misty said.

"Mm! Big brother says the same thing; he always says that about me," May said, pouting.

"Haha, May, you're so cute!" Seeing May's expression, Misty couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, since May has come to our house, let's go buy groceries and make dinner!" Misty said, grabbing May's hand and running outside.

"Ouch, that hurts!" May cried out.

"I'm sorry, May, I forgot about the slippers you're wearing. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Misty said apologetically.

"Hee hee! It's okay!" May shook her head, saying she didn't mind.

"Misty, May, what are you two talking about? You're chatting so happily?" At this moment, Ash, who was to the side, interjected.

"Hee hee, big brother, big sister Misty was saying that the slippers May is wearing are so cute," May laughed.

"Is that so? Then May, just wear more next time," Ash said.

"May, come over here, let me check you." At this moment, Cynthia walked over to May's side and took out a stethoscope to listen for a while.

"May's ankle is fractured. I'll apply some ointment for you, and then wrap it with a bandage. The swelling will go down in a week," Cynthia said.

"Mm-hmm!" May nodded obediently.

Immediately, Cynthia used scissors to cut May's pant leg, wrapped it with gauze, and sealed it tight with tape.

"Alright, May, try it out. How does it feel now?" Cynthia asked with a smile.

"Mm! The itchy, painful feeling is gone now. Instead, there's a warm current flowing into my ankle area, making it feel much more comfortable, like a cool breeze blowing on it. It's so comfortable!" May said.

"That's good. Try not to get your ankle wet to avoid blood stasis, otherwise, it will be troublesome," Cynthia instructed.

"Mm-hmm, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Thank you, big sister!" May promised earnestly.

"Mm!" Cynthia nodded.

"May, Ash, you two go play for now! I'm going to make dinner!" Cynthia smiled gently.

"Mm-hmm! Thank you, big sister," May and Ash said in unison.

"Alright, go ahead." Cynthia turned and left.

"May, do you know? Actually, this is my first time coming to your house, and I didn't know what to bring you. After thinking about it, I can only give you this money," Ash said, taking out a card.

"Big brother, what is this?" May asked curiously.

"This is the money I earned yesterday. I saved one hundred yuan; you and Misty get fifty each, and the remaining one hundred is for tuition. This is tuition!" Ash said solemnly.

"This..." May hesitated; she didn't expect her big brother to do this.

"This is tuition, May. We are all one family, so just accept it," Ash said with a serious tone.

"Mm! Thank you, big brother!" May took the money her brother handed her and said earnestly, "Big brother, this is money you worked hard to earn, we can't spend it recklessly."

"It's fine, just consider it as me showing filial piety to Mom and Dad. Work hard!" Ash said.

Then, May took the two hundred yuan Ash gave her and happily went out with Ash to buy ingredients.

Because it was Ash's first time visiting his parents' home, Ash decided to cook himself.

"May, today big brother will take charge of the cooking and let you taste my skills," Ash said.

"Mm! Thank you, big brother," May said happily.

"You're welcome." Ash waved his hand, then rolled up his sleeves, ready to start.

"May, help me find the bowls and chopsticks; big brother needs to wash the pot," Ash said.

"You got it!" May skipped away.

Not long after, May returned carrying a set of brand-new tableware.

"Big brother, I'll help you set the table and chairs." May said, helping Ash set them up, then sat down at the table.

Ash took out rice, green peppers, and other vegetables to start stir-frying.

"May, don't just watch TV!" Ash said.

"Mm-hmm!"

Not long after, the meal was ready. Ash brought the food into the room and ate the delicious dishes with May.

"Mm! Delicious! So delicious!" May said with satisfaction.

"That goes without saying, these are all big brother's specialties," Ash said proudly.

"By the way, May, are you free tomorrow? Come with me to participate in a competition!" Ash suggested.

"But, big brother, don't we have class tomorrow morning?" May asked curiously.

"Uh! Tomorrow is the weekend, so there's no class!" Ash explained.

"Oh! Alright!" May agreed.

Afterward, after eating, Ash took May for a stroll to observe the neighborhood environment.

"Big brother, what about Misty?" May pointed to Misty not far away and asked.

"Let's go to the amusement park tomorrow! We haven't had a good time this summer vacation. Since everyone is free, let's go play together," Ash suggested.

"That's possible, but Misty has to agree to it. After all, she still has homework to do," May said.

"How about this: you go tell Misty that you want to go to the amusement park tomorrow. She definitely won't refuse because she hasn't been to an amusement park in a long time either," Ash said.

"Mm! Okay," May said.

So, May walked over to Misty and told her about her request.

"May, are you coming to play with us tomorrow too?" Misty asked in surprise.

"Yes, big sister Misty," May smiled sweetly.

"Mm! That's great, let's play together!" Misty said happily.

"Mm!" May nodded happily.

Then, the three of them walked out of the house and set off for the amusement park.

……

Along the way, May chattered away with Misty, while Ash followed quietly behind them.

Not long after, the three arrived at the amusement park, and that was when Ash realized May was right.

This amusement park was huge, and it was decorated beautifully with all kinds of entertainment facilities, which made Ash's eyes light up.

At this time, Cynthia also stepped out of the car, and seeing the three children playing and frolicking, a gratified smile appeared on her face.

"Ash, May, Misty, come over here, Auntie will take you to ride the carousel," Cynthia called out.

"Yay~~~" May and Ash cheered.

"Wow~~~ May, hurry up," Cynthia called out.

"Okay!" May and Ash said happily, then walked toward the carousel with Cynthia.

Ash stood where he was, silently watching the three of them playing happily, and Ash gradually integrated into their lives.

During this time, besides exercising and reading, Ash spent the rest of his time helping May with her homework.

As for Cynthia, she continued to teach Ash how to be a qualified chef, which was also a daily required course for Cynthia.

Although Cynthia was usually very busy, it didn't hinder her from learning culinary arts, and Cynthia also really liked this technical work.

"Ash, come over and help Auntie slice this meat." Cynthia called out to Ash, who was about to go find May.

"Oh!" Ash said obediently.
