Chapter 4: Feng Si Zhe's Change

  Zhao Mingyuan couldn't think of why his grandson would be so good to him today, and now he can't think about it anymore. Even though he said he was a bit uncomfortable, he could only pretend to the end, first hiding on his own bed in his room.

  A group of people hastily put Zhao Mingyuan on the bed, some boiling water, others calling for a doctor. Meanwhile, Zhao's wife, He Jiaoyu, rushed into the inner room to see what had happened to her husband.

  Outside the house, Feng Zhe's eldest brother-in-law Zhao Wanyong, second sister-in-law Zhao Lishu, and third sister-in-law Zhao Lizhu also rushed over. Upon hearing that the old man's condition had suddenly taken a turn for the worse, everyone was on edge, with Zhao Lizhu even hastily calling her second brother Zhao Wangang, who worked at the Public Security Bureau, to hurry over from his workplace.

  Zhao Wangan, due to the special nature of his work, did not live with Zhao Mingyuan. Even Zhao Wanyong and Zhao Lishu were not usually in the capital, but this time they all happened to come to Kyoto for a meeting, so they gathered at the Siheyuan. Who would have thought that they would encounter the old man's illness? Each of them could be said to be anxious like burning fire.

  More anxious than anyone else was Feng Si Zhe. He had just been reborn and was thinking of using his precognitive abilities to do something for his family, to revive the Zhao family and bring glory to the Zhao family gate. But unexpectedly, this old man's body suddenly took a turn for the worse. Could it be that the trajectory of this world he was reborn into was completely different from the one he had lived in before? If so, then his rebirth would not have any advantages at all. Feng Si Zhe couldn't help but feel disheartened.

  Zhao Mingyuan, who was lying on the bed in the inner house, was even more anxious. He couldn't think that he had just casually made up an excuse about being unwell, and it actually caused the whole family to be so flustered. Come to think of it, when did his body ever show any unusual symptoms? He wasn't even someone who got injections! Now suddenly he was ill to the point of collapsing onto the bed, anyone would be anxious.

  "I asked the old man, what's wrong with your body? Which part is uncomfortable, quickly tell me." Seeing the old man's face turn red and fall onto the bed, Feng Zhe's grandmother He Jia Yu was very anxious. She really didn't know that Zhao Mingyuan's red face was due to shyness or embarrassment.

  "I'm not feeling well." Along with his own grandson who might be about to part ways and return to the UK, Zhao Mingyuan felt a surge of frustration. What's wrong with his own country? Why did he have to go to another country to make contributions, shine, and contribute to his motherland in the same way?

  "How come you're not feeling well, He Jia Yu still doesn't know Zhao Ming Yuan's thoughts, she thought it was really because of physical discomfort."

  As the old woman reached out to touch his forehead, Zhao Mingyuan suddenly sat up in bed and pushed away her hand. "You don't understand anything," he said. "Go tell the children I'm fine, let them do what they need to do."

  Zhao Ming was very prestigious at home, and as soon as he got angry, He Jia Yu immediately softened up. "Okay, I'll go talk to him. Honestly, you're already so old, why are you still so hot-headed?"

  Watching his old companion He Jia Yu walk out, Zhao Ming Yuan let out a sigh in his heart. "What's meant to come will always come, and you can't hide from it. I'm also a veteran who has been through many trials, and back then I charged into the battlefield, now I hold a high rank as a general. How can I use my poor health as an excuse to play tricks on my grandson? It's really laughable."

  He Jia Yu listened to the old man's words and went out to tell his sons and daughters in the outer house with a tense face that the old man was fine, and they should do what they needed to do.

  It was said that the old man really didn't have any problems, so Zhao Wanyong, Zhao Lishu and Zhao Lizhu all nodded and left quietly. They were still very familiar with their father's temper of having the final say, and judging from their mother's appearance, the old man indeed didn't have any illness, so everyone else also left with peace of mind. Only Feng Sicheng remained standing in place without moving, attracting He Jiaoyu to walk over and ask, "Sicheng, why aren't you leaving yet?"

  She is also very fond of her grandson He Jia Yu, but because he has been away from home since childhood, it seems that everyone's feelings are not so deep. At least when they are together, they don't know what to say or find common language. So, apart from caring about Feng Si Zhe's living conditions, this grandmother really doesn't know how to get along with her grandson.

  "Grandma, can I go see Grandpa and talk to him?" Although Grandma had already said that the old man was fine, Feng Siche still had a thread of unease. As someone who was mentally mature, he had more feelings about the word "filial piety".

  "Oh, you want to chat with Grandpa? Okay!" He Jia Yu didn't expect that usually only called out "Grandpa" and "Grandma" Feng Si Zhe would actually want to have a conversation with the old man at this moment, she couldn't help but feel very happy. With this excitement, she somewhat lost control, and with one swift motion, she pulled Feng Si Zhe's arm, then headed towards the inner room while shouting, "Old man, your grandson has come to see you! He wants to chat with you too, hurry up and get up, haha!"

  Zhao Mingyuan, who was hiding in the inner room, was thinking about how to avoid Feng Siche. He thought that if he went out and wandered around, he wouldn't be able to see his grandson, and therefore wouldn't have a chance to bring up the matter. But unexpectedly, today Feng Siche seemed to have set his sights on him. His usually aloof grandson, who had always avoided talking to him, first went to the playground and then came to his bedroom wanting to chat with him. "Sigh, whether it's good fortune or bad luck, people can't be kept from leaving, but their hearts can't be kept either," Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself, shaking his head. He decided to have a good talk with his grandson, at least making an effort to see if he could change Feng Siche's mind about leaving.

  "Old man, old man, look, your grandson is here." He Jia Yu walked into the inner room as soon as she saw Feng Si Zhe's arm.

  Zhao Mingyuan raised his eyes to look at his partner He Jiaoyu, who was holding onto Feng Sicheng's arm as they came in. Immediately, he thought that his partner had taken the initiative to invite their grandson over to see him, thinking that he wouldn't even have time to hide. But instead, his partner led Feng Sicheng inside, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh, thinking to himself that everything was just fate playing tricks on people.

  "Zhe'er, your grandfather's body is very good, if you don't have anything to do, hurry up and prepare for school. Oh, if you're a bit tired, just take a report and rest for two days, taking a stroll in Kyoto can also be a good thing." Regardless of whether Zhao Mingyuan was happy or not, his grandson still came to him, and he was delighted in his heart, but in order to block Feng Siche's mention of returning to the UK, he deliberately found an excuse, which was to let Feng Siche rest for two days to relax and forget about returning to the UK.

  "Grandfather, as long as you're in good health, I still need to attend school. I don't want to take a leave of absence." Feng Sicheng saw that his grandfather indeed had a rosy complexion and didn't seem to be uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Then, after asking about his well-being, he expressed his intention to study hard. Although Feng Sicheng also didn't know why his grandfather suddenly told him to take two days off, with his current mindset, he still believed that it was best not to take leave during the middle school years. This kind of undisciplined behavior would inevitably give people a bad impression.

  After hearing Feng Sicheng's words, Zhao Mingyuan was stunned. He really didn't expect that his grandson had only come to see him and hadn't mentioned anything about returning to England. Moreover, he had especially given him a holiday without even asking for leave, which made Zhao Mingyuan feel a bit bewildered. "Zhe'er, are you really sure you don't need to take two days off to rest properly?"

  "No need, thank you for your concern, Grandpa. Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going out now." Feng Sicheng bowed politely to Zhao Mingyuan and He Jiayu, and seeing that his grandfather was indeed fine, he felt relieved and turned around to run quickly towards the west playground.

  Looking at Feng Si Zhe's back, Zhao Ming Yuan was convinced that he had really said and done so, and couldn't help but feel extremely excited. "Heh heh, good, good, I know studying is good, yeah."

  Watching the old man say four numbers, He Jia Yu didn't quite understand what they meant, but the old man looked very happy, so that was good enough. For a woman of He Jia Yu's generation, having an old husband who is good to her is truly good, because Zhao Ming Yuan is in some sense her heaven.

  Coming out of his grandfather's bedroom, Feng Sizi ran to the west playground, where his uncle, second aunt, little aunt, Zhao Mingyuan's driver and servants were exercising.

  As Zhao Mingyuan, who came out of the war years, joined the army at the age of 15 and then became a guard for the current Chairman of the National Military Commission. Three years later, he entered the field army and soon participated in the three major battles that shocked the world. For someone with this experience, it is even clearer how important it is to have a good body, so from an early age, he required his children to exercise. Over time, this family education has become a habit, and even though Feng Sicheng has been away from his grandfather for many years, his mother in the UK still requires him to do so, because Feng Sicheng's father did not experience much struggle before leaving the world due to poor health. After this incident, Zhao Lirong also began to pay more attention to Feng Sicheng's physical condition.
