No matter what, thanks to our fellow townsman.
Sophie’s interest seemed to be piqued as well. After a while, she turned to Grace Brooks and said:
“Brother-in-law, you’re famous now.”
“What?”
“You’re famous.”
“How am I famous?”
“Didn’t you check your videos this morning?”
“No.”
“Take a look.”
The young girl freed one hand, took out her student phone, found the relevant video, and handed it to Grace Brooks.
After a night’s sleep, Student Carter really did become famous.
The official account of Yuanzhou TV posted his interview clip, and it shot to the trending list, with at least several million views and hundreds of thousands of likes. Reportedly, official media and self-media accounts across the country were also reposting it, many of which had millions or even tens of millions of followers.
“A lot of people online are looking for you, brother-in-law.”
“That’s not even me.”
Grace Brooks handed the phone back to Sophie. What Student Carter said had nothing to do with Grace Brooks.
The young girl fell silent, lowering her head to sip her milk tea.
“When do you start classes, Sophie?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Your sister and I decided to go to the seaside tomorrow. If you can get leave, we’ll go together.” Grace Brooks thought for a moment. “There’s also the Dragon Boat Festival in between, so you can’t take too many days off. We’ll probably play for about a week and then come back, or come back once the Sacred Ancestor Cube is activated. How about it?”
“I can get leave.”
The young girl hesitated before answering.
Actually, she really liked going out to play with her brother-in-law.
Both her sister and brother-in-law took good care of her, were gentle and considerate, and it was the most fun being with her brother-in-law—she could also learn a lot of useful things.
She also really liked going out with her sister.
Although her sister seemed cold and sometimes even a little scary, she was decisive in her actions. Whatever she wanted to eat or buy, she just had to say it, and her sister would get it for her.
But she didn’t really like going out with both her sister and brother-in-law at the same time, because then she’d turn into an emotionless photo-taking machine.
“By the way—”
Grace Brooks glanced at Lily Carter: “Are you going to the graduation party tonight?”
“No.”
“You…”
Grace Brooks shook his head.
Then the three of them went to see a movie, had lunch, and went home separately. Although the big exam was over, cultivation and studying still couldn’t be neglected.
Going to a graduation party in the evening was also a happy way to put a perfect end to four years of study.
The second day of May, morning.
The three boarded a plane, put away their luggage, and sat in a row.
Lily Carter glanced at Grace Brooks, seeing that he was simply dressed in shorts, flip-flops, a T-shirt, and a baseball cap—extremely casual.
Wearing flip-flops for a long trip…
Lily Carter didn’t say anything.
But when she turned her head, her younger sister was dressed almost identically—shorts, little flip-flops, and a T-shirt, just without a hat.
A young girl, only fifteen, already dressing like this…
Lily Carter frowned slightly.
At that moment, the young girl seemed to sense her gaze, turned to look at her, and asked weakly:
“W-what’s wrong?”
Lily Carter frowned: “Stop copying him all the time.”
“Who?”
“Him.”
“I was raised by brother-in-law.”
“……”
“Don’t you like it, sis?”
“……”
Lily Carter couldn’t be bothered to respond. Hopeless.
The plane began to taxi.
Destination: Haishou Port Airport.
Haishou Port is located in Cangzhou, by the sea.
It’s said that a thousand years ago, sea beasts roamed here. People had to worship the sea beasts before going out to sea, and prepare enough offerings for them on the boat to ensure a safe journey.
That’s how it got the name Haishou Port.
Now, you can hardly see any sea beasts.
Cangzhou borders Yuanzhou, so the flight only takes about an hour, with most of the time wasted on the ground.
The plane landed.
Sophie pressed against the window, trying hard to look outside.
The weather in Haishou Port was completely different from Baishi.
It was pouring rain again in Baishi this morning, but Haishou Port had blue skies and white clouds. The airport was situated on a vast plain, and you couldn’t see any mountains in the distance—just streaks of white clouds hanging at the edge of the sky. This scene reflected in Sophie’s eyes, instantly lifting her mood, so she widened her eyes, trying to take in even more of the view.
“Time to get off.”
Sophie snapped back to reality. Her sister was already getting the luggage, and her brother-in-law had just withdrawn his hand from patting her shoulder, so she quickly unfastened her seatbelt and stood up.
Grace Brooks said to Lily Carter and Sophie: “The sun is really strong. Did you put on sunscreen?”
“No.”
“You brought it, right? I reminded you.”
“We brought it.”
“Go put some on in the restroom.”
“Okay.”
So Grace Brooks waited outside the restroom for them. After a few minutes, the sisters came out.
Grace Brooks looked carefully and saw that the sunscreen on the younger sister’s face wasn’t evenly applied. On her slightly chubby baby face, you could see streaks of sunscreen, so he said to the older sister, “Sophie didn’t put her sunscreen on evenly.”
“What’s that got to do with me?”
“What kind of sister are you?”
“……”
