Xu Min opened his eyes He was filled with disbelief What he was looking at was a sight he could never forget Right above hi which he could instantly re that he had seen forbody; he saw t his beloved sister, resting in sweet, deep sleep The sun was about to rise in the sky, and it was already painted purple The moment he opened his eyes a tranquility flooded over him

It was all just a drea sis is still alive! What is there to fear?

Deep within, he knew that this was a lie However, seeing the h for hi up fro fireplace, which he knew his sister had woken up ht to keep alive He threw some branches into it before he found a few cups of rice and started ee

It did not take long before the scent of food was filling the entire shed This aroma spurred his sister awake; her eyes bewildered, and her hair er brother was not sound asleep as he would usually be by now Instead, he was standing at the fireplace cooking congee, a job which usually belonged to her

”Little Min, why are you awake this early today?” she asked as she rubbed her eyes and slowly folded the wrinkles on her clothes It was in the middle of winterThey needed to sleep in their clothes if they wished not to freeze to deathThey only had two sets of clothes, but to Xu Min, his sister as standing right in front of him was the most beautiful wo; she ain

”I couldn't sleep,” Xu Min said He shrugged his shoulders and enjoyed everyhealed, and his consciousnessthe truth about what had happened before The longer he was in this world, the more real it seemed and the happier he became

”The sun is up It's tio to work,” the older sister tenderly said as she caressed Xu Min’s hair ”Mhuard so that I can take care of us,” Xu Min said He had sed the last bit of congee before he rushed out the door towards the training grounds

”Little Min!” a voice called outXu Min surprised, turned around only to see the Young Master rushi+ng towards hi to hi Master act so friendly towards him

He was at a co Master reached hihing, ”Even the genius Little Min is a little late today!” He said with a hearty laughter, ”it does not happen often, but it does at times I am quite amazed by you!”

”GoodMaster,” Xu Min said tentatively He was not sure how to act, but his wordsmaster seem somewhat apprehensive, ”I told you to use ood brothers? You are my best friend! One day, you will be the overseer of all the Zhong family compound and travel with me e leave this small valley to do business! If you are not my brother, then what are you?!”

The emotional outburst shocked Xu Min even more than when he had seen his sister co he had wished for every single day of his life However, seeing the Young Master treating hi he had never experienced before He never thought this was possible!

Although things were different, the feeling of cohed and joked with the Young Master as the two of theether

Every one of the younger generation of the Zhong family or other noteworthy families within the city were incredibly polite to both Xu Min and the Young Master They treated the two as one The ones who usually bullied hientle towards him Xu Min was on cloud nine This was the childhood he had alanted

”Showing up late! Three laps around the training ground eights!” A voice suddenly booh the childish chatter Every child heaved a heavy sigh since they forgot they were lateNow Overseer Tian had reminded them about it, and they knew that they had no other option than to comply

Picking up the weights, the children were all chatting together as they started running around the training ground This was by nothousands of times on his ownIn this alternative reality, his body was as sturdy as it had been when he was young

If things are this good, I cannot help but wonder why my sister and I still live within that shabby shed We are well-liked and have friends I cannot i liked by someone, so why such a bad place?

TheMaster ed than Xu Min's but not by a lotHe looked at him with really friendly eyes, eyes which seemed never to have held any malice

”How can you be this fierce in the et to sleep under soft pillows and blankets while you live in your run-down shed Even then, still I cannot keep up with you Iine if you accepted my offer to move to a better location! If you did, you would be even more monstrous and leave us all in the dust!”

Xu Min instantly got an answer to his questionsDeep inside, his soul shuddered Although he was enjoying this world, it was si and calculating youngto becoest rather than someone who easily succumbed to others
