Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

Two old men made a bet and forcibly put their grandsons on the bandwagon, never asking if they agreed.

Eldest Brother received military-style education from childhood, had to obey orders, took the Military Academy exam, enlisted, and followed step by step the future Grandfather had planned for him.

Fortunately, he was ambitious, got into pilot training, performed excellently at the Military Academy, and graduated smoothly.

He grew up with Grandfather from childhood; though never beaten, he heard Grandfather mechanically expound the way of being an official all day, his mind overloaded, complaining incessantly.

"Have you thought of an answer to the question I asked you last time?"

"Why do so many people who receive help become ungrateful? Before others actively ask for help, don't rashly do good and presumptuously help them?"

Grandfather didn't know his grandson's true thoughts, seized the opportunity, and began his tedious instruction again.

Here it comes again, here it comes again.......

Even playing chess isn't peaceful; can't one even catch a comfortable breath?

Guben silently sneered in his heart, but showed nothing on his face, pretending to think seriously to cope with Grandfather's test.

"Because human nature hopes to be stronger than others; those who receive charity instinctively envy their benefactors living better than themselves. So giving roses leaves fragrance on the hand; presumptuously helping the weak moves only oneself."

"Good, this answer hits the point......"

Grandfather nodded with satisfaction, his gaze toward his grandson full of praise.

Donghua Street No. 9.

On the day of the documentary filming, Aunt Da's whole family came.

Lin Xiyu's mother also specially took leave from school, bringing her paternal half-brother Xu Yi back home to join the fun.

Lin Xiyu, rarely not in her school uniform, put on the blue denim waist-cinching dress she usually couldn't bear to wear, dressed exceptionally fresh and lovely.

The girl wore a ponytail, skin white as snow, slender waist and long legs, an exquisite beautiful small face; without makeup she was still stunningly beautiful.

Guben rode his bicycle around from the alley entrance and at a glance saw the girl standing at the doorway, tall and graceful.

His heart palpitated uncontrollably.

A strange affection, uncontrollably surging up, filled his entire chest.

"Guben, why are you riding this bike again?"

Lin Xiyu also saw him; in the moment they locked eyes, the thoughts of the boy and girl were clearly no longer on the same wavelength.

Lin Xiyu's gaze quickly fell on his bicycle, frowning with some displeasure: "You finally found it; if you lose it again, who can bear this responsibility?"

Guben: "......."

Can this girl be more of a jinx?

He was wrong; he shouldn't have thought she was waiting for him, letting his thoughts run wild, stirring up a pool of lake water.

"Xiyu, who are you talking to?"

Female Cousin heard the noise and ran out of the yard curiously; Maternal Aunt also opened the Telephone Booth window and poked her head out to look.

"Oh, isn't that your handsome classmate?"

Female Cousin saw Guben, her gossipy gaze instantly brightened, and she pretended to be very dissatisfied, glaring at her: "What did you eat that's making you choke? Talking to your classmate so impolitely......."

"I'm stating the facts; how is that impolite?"

Lin Xiyu vented her depression on the bicycle: "His mountain bike is now more famous than me in our alley; ask the neighbors, who doesn't know him......"

"Being famous is better."

Female Cousin smiled and retorted: "Whoever sees him knows him; it definitely won't get lost."
