Jian Mei’s shock couldn’t be described with words as he looked at the bear that appeared out of nowhere on his bed.
He grabbed the teddy bear and checked it all over. At last, he finally made sure that it was indeed his teddy bear, and what was amazing was that the teddy bear looked brand new as if magic had been casted upon it.
“Drop”
The mecha warrior next to him fell out of bed, waking Jian Mei from a trance.
As he bent down to pick up the mecha warrior, he suddenly recalled Xiao Peng’s words. “This toy has been with me for a long time. Its internal parts are broken and can’t be repaired.” One morning when he woke up, the mecha warrior inexplicably was fixed.
Jian Mei picked up the phone again and sent a message to Lu Xingwang. “Did you fix this?”
Lu Xingwang didn’t hide it from him. “En.”
When he saw this “En”, Jian Mei already had some doubts about the world. He was really curious and felt it was strange. He pondered for a long time, but in the end, he couldn’t resist calling Lu Xingwang. The connecting tone rang for a long time before it was finally answered. A calm, somewhat low male voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Hello.”
Jian Mei was curious and asked, “You…How did you do it?”
Lu Xingwang answered, “With my hands.”
I don’t even know how to reply to you.
It was very strange. It was obviously a very world-shattering and otherworldly thing, but Lu Xingwang’s calm tone made it sound like something trivial and not worth mentioning, while Jian Mei seemed to be making a fuss. However, this was actually very normal. His Highness had been long used to high-end technology, but for the little country bumpkin like Jian Mei, this was beyond his common knowledge.
Jian Mei tried for a long time and finally said, “This transfer, is it the latest, newly-released feature?”
Lu Xingwang thought for a moment. “Maybe.”
“But I’ve never heard of it.” Jian Mei took a careful guess. “Because my mom’s phone is the latest model on the market.= even the most expensive kind, but she doesn’t have this kind of feature.”
Lu Xingwang said, “Really?”
With what had been said, His Highness had more or less guessed what happened.
The planet where Jian Mei resided was probably not on the same level as Stan Star, whether it be technology or environment. They most likely had no divine power and their technology would not be advanced, so except for that device in Jian Mei’s hand, all other devices didn’t have the transfer function. Then, the problem became: where did Jian Mei’s device come from?
“Are you sure that no one else has this feature?” asked Lu Xingwang. He wanted to determine something. “Then why do you have it?”
Jian Mei replied honestly, “Grandpa picked up this phone in the mountains.”
Lu Xingwang frowned. “Picked up?”
Jian Mei nodded. “Yes, then we never found the owner. This phone is very strange. WeChat is the only app it came with and we can’t delete each other’s WeChat account from the friend list. It’s really strange. Many things in this app require points. There are also some apps I haven’t heard of.”
Lu Xingwang thought about it. “Does your family know?”
Jian Mei pursed his lips and shook his head obediently. “They don’t know. I’ve never told them.”
Lu Xingwang’s heart sank slightly. He knew that Jian Mei was innocent. No matter why this thing came into Jian Mei’s hands, if this was used by other people with ulterior motives, then it would cause endless troubles. After thinking about it, he said to Jian Mei, “Don’t tell anyone about your phone.”
Jian Mei’s grip on his phone tightened.
Lu Xingwang: “Did you hear me?. Don’t tell anyone, including your family.”
Jian Mei was a little nervous. “Is this phone dangerous?
Lu Xingwang: “For now, it shouldn’t be.”
During their call, Lu Xingwang wasn’t idle. The moment he discovered the situation, he roughly scanned the phone remotely, and there was no problem with the l operation. There was only WeChat that he couldn’t hack, but from what Jian Mei said, there was no danger with this WeChat app as he was the only Wechat friend.

“En.”
Lu Xingwang said, “It’s true that I fixed your teddy bear.”
It was just a little bit of healing divine power borrowed from the servants and wasn’t a complex mechanical assembling. But for an underdeveloped planet, this was something powerful.
Jian Mei paused for a moment and said, “Really?”
Lu Xingwang replied, “En.”
“Not only that.” This was the first time he’d shown his undisguised prowess in front of others, just to test their ambitions. “My ability isn’t just effective for teddy bears.”
There was a pause on the other end of the call. This short silence inexplicably made Lu Xingwang’s face gloomy. His bad mood was obvious to the naked eye.
Surprisingly, Jian Mei said happily, “Is it effective for mecha warriors?”
Jian Mei looked like a little smart-ass. “I knew it. You fixed Xiao Peng’s mecha warrior for me, didn’t you?”
Lu Xingwang was caught off guard and didn’t know how to reply. He could only vaguely respond, “En.”
“Sure enough, it’s you.” There was a gentle smile on Jian Mei’s face as he spoke in a low voice, like a low sigh but full of sincerity. “I knew it. Who else would be so nice to me.”
Lu Xingwang felt like his heart was scratched by something not light nor heavy. He looked away and spoke unconfidently in a deep voice, “It was no effort at all.”
Jian Mei reminded him. “It’s the second time..”
Lu Xingwang felt as if he’d been pinched. He pursed his lips and was unwilling to admit it. He said, “These aren’t big deals for me.”
Jian Mei nodded. “I know, but it’s so nice of you. It’s obviously a trivial thing, but you’re still willing to help me a lot.”
His Highness, who originally wanted to speculate others, seemed to be completely defeated by the clear and pleasant voice near his ears. Jian Mei’s straightforwardness and kindness were like warm sunshine, engulfing the unsightly calculativeness and darkness little by little. Although he seemed to be defeated, Lu Xingwang’s furrowed brows slowly loosened. He was in a trance at this moment and was somewhat aware of how different this child was. He could even find hope and beauty in complete darkness with his eyes, so even though he did nothing, Jian Mei would always thank him.
But that wasn’t the case, Lu Xingwang thought.
Perhaps, the one who was helped a lot and borrowed a little hope from Jian Mei was Lu Xingwang himself.
The next day.
As the National Day holiday was coming to an end soon, Jian Mei was also returning from his hometown.
Jian Changjia returned with the family car, but he never liked to live at home. Usually, he’d go back to school in advance so he wouldn’t meet other people. The first thing Jian Mei did when he returned home was to make up for his homework. All his attention was focused on the few test exams he hadn’t finished yet, so he didn’t notice his brother’s desperate gaze.
It wasn’t until the afternoon when a knock was heard on the door of Jian Mei’s room.
Jian Mei walked to the door and opened it. He was somewhat surprised to see the person standing at the door and asked softly, “Ge?”
There was momentary awkwardness on Jian Changjia’s face. But soon after, he raised his face proudly and said with a little bit of smugness. “En, I have something to tell you.”
There was a teddy bear hidden behind his hands.
That day at the dinner table, he just couldn’t forget the look in his brother’s eyes for some reason. The teddy bear that he’d long forgotten was treated as a treasure by another person. It was a wonderful feeling for him. Now that the teddy bear was lost, he was inexplicably somewhat unhappy, so he returned to the city early in the morning and went to buy another one.
At the same time, Jian Mei was also very happy. “I have something to tell you too.”
Jian Changjia weighed it. “Let’s say it together?”
Jian Mei nodded happily. The two of them counted to three and spoke at the same time:
“I found my bear!”
“I bought you a new bear!”
A moment of silence permeated the air.
The teddy bear that Jian Changjia took out from behind awkwardly paused in the air. His smile froze, then he scowled at Jian Mei. “You’ve found it?”
Jian Mei nodded weakly. “En.”
On the table not far away was indeed the orange teddy bear. But for some reason, Jian Changjia felt that there was something wrong with the bear, it seemed…new? Wasn’t it an old bear?
Jian Changjia’s tone was very bad. “You didn’t tell me earlier when you found it!”
Jian Mei didn’t expect his brother to get angry. “I’m sorry, Gege. I thought you wouldn’t care.”
Jian Changjia was angry so he unconsciously retorted. “Why wouldn’t I care? You…”
The unfinished words choked in his throat, as there were things he couldn’t say with confidence. Just like this time, he indeed didn’t care about the bear, nor did he even remember he was the one who gave it to Jian Mei.
“Forget it!” Jian Changjia’s anger suddenly flared up. He turned around and was about to leave. “You’ve found it already.”
He was about to walk out of the door when light footsteps came behind him. Then, a small hand clutched the corner of his shirt. Even if the strength wasn’t great, it stopped him from walking away.
Jian Mei raised his small and pale face. He smiled with his round eyes, then looked at the little bear and asked softly, “Gege, did you buy this especially for me?
For some reason, the word “especially” made Jian Changjia’s heart tighten.
Did…Did Jian Mei know that the bear was a gift from someone else and he just gave it to him casually?
Jian Changjia suddenly panicked. He was used to being fierce, even though he was worried, he was still overbearing and reluctant to admit it. “I just bought it along the way.”
The air fell into momentary silence.
Jian Changjia, who was waiting for an answer, became nervous for some reason.
Then, Jian Mei, who was half a head shorter than him, laughed softly. “Ai, that’s so strange.”
Jian Changjia looked down at him. “What’s the matter?”
“Why do you all like to do things casually, ah?” Jian Mei’s voice was soft and couldn’t be heard clearly, but his gaze at Jian Changjia was so bright, as if he could see through everything no matter how reluctant his brother was to admit it. He reached to him and took the teddy bear. “Gege, thank you for the teddy bear. I like it very much.”
Jian Changjia was dumbstruck for a second, and the bear was taken away by Jian Mei.
Now that the bear was taken away, he was a little happy yet angry and anxious. “Who said I was going to give it to you?”
Jian Mei pretended not to understand. He looked at the teddy bear in his hand and said, “Gege, then why did you bring it to my room? To show me your taste? En…it doesn’t seem to be very good.”
Jian Changjia couldn’t believe it. The teddy bear that he had worked so hard to pick was actually disliked, so the young master instantly became furious. “Then give it back to me.”
Jian Mei hurriedly dodged, slyly glanced at him, and smiled. “No.”
“Are you going to give it or not?”
“No way!”
The two chased each other around the room playfully. When Jian Mei ran towards the bed, he was subdued by Jian Changjia like a hungry tiger jumping at his prey. The boy was very good at suppressing his younger brother. He held him down and tickled him. Jian Mei laughed non-stop while he was being tickled, then he begged for mercy. “Ge, I was wrong.”
Jian Changjia was indignant. “Do you still dare to disapprove of my taste?”
Jian Mei was about to burst into tears from laughing. He hurriedly said, “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”
They met each other’s gaze. Since the two of them were facing each other, Jian Mei could see the scar on Jian Changjia’s neck more clearly. It was so frightening, shocking, and it was also…heartwrenching.
Jian Changjia also noticed where Jian Mei was looking at. The boy’s face changed and was about to throw a fit, but Jian Mei picked up the new teddy bear next to him and rubbed it, incidentally giving the teddy bear a kiss on the cheek. He turned and smiled at Jian Changjia. “Thank you, Gege. I like this teddy bear very much.”
Jian Changjia said with a blank expression. “But you disapproved of my taste.”
Jian Mei explained. “I was teasing you. I didn’t mean it.”
It was the same bedroom, the same bed. It had been many years since Jian Changjia last set foot in this room, nor had they talked to each other calmly.
“Sometimes, I speak without thinking, but I don’t mean it. In fact, I like it very much.” Jian Mei hugged the teddy bear and looked at him. His gaze was locked on his brother. His voice was sincere and deeply apologetic. “Ge, I’m sorry.”
The room was silent for a long time.
After a while, Jian Changjia looked away and snorted softly. “I’m not that petty.”
A smile blossomed on Jian Mei’s face. He sat up on the bed, chased after him, and said, “Ge, you’re not angry anymore, right?.”
Ah, why are children so annoying?
Jian Changjia’s earlobes turned red, then he raised his head high. “I wouldn’t be bothered by a little brat like you.”
Jian Mei was very happy. “That’s great. There’s a parent-teacher meeting in two days. Can you attend?
Jian Changjia turned around in disbelief. He said aggressively, “Are you out of your mind ah? Me, going to attend your parent-teacher meeting? No way!”
Jian Mei stood still and aggrievedly pursed his lips. Of course, he knew that it was unreasonable to ask his brother to go, so he could only lower his head and answer in a low voice. “Mom and dad are both busy. They’re going for business trips after the National Day holiday and don’t have the time to attend.”
This was also the same case many times before.
Shen Meina and Jian Shencheng had missed too many parent-teacher meetings because of their work.
Jian Mei rubbed the corner of his clothes. “The teacher also asked us to write letters to our family and prepare some small gifts or something. This is the assigned homework. If no one goes, then I…”
Jian Changjia was ruthless. “Then don’t do it. I also have to go to school. How do I have the time to attend, ah? Or you can ask our nanny to attend.”
Jian Mei’s lashes trembled. He took a deep breath as if trying to swallow some grievances. Finally, he nodded sensibly. “I understand.”
Jian Changjia’s goal was achieved, but when he saw the look on his brother’s face, he was disquieted for some reason.
So annoying.
The seemingly ruthless and cold person left the room. Jian Changjia stayed in his room for a while, but in the end, he couldn’t help but took out his phone and called one of his buddies. A cheerful voice came from the other end. “Chang-ge, what’s up? Party time?”
“Get your head out of the gutter.” Jian Changjia sat on a chair and crossed his legs. His tone was a little aggressive. “I need to buy some clothes; you come with me.”
His buddy froze. “You’re short of clothes to wear, ah.”
Jian Changjia cursed in a deep voice. “Laozi wants to buy different styles!”
“All right, all right.” The buddy didn’t dare to say no, but he was curious. “What kind of style? Is it the casual style that has been popular recently? Workwear style? Alas, are you interested in some girl? Oh, I wonder what kind of person can make Chang-ge change his wardrobe? I’d like to see what kind of goddess she is.”
“Get lost.” Jian Changjia sat lazily. “None of what you said. I need to buy slightly formal clothes.”
The buddy asked hesitantly, “Then, I’m not good at this. Chang-ge, you didn’t call me when you bought clothes before.”
“If it wasn’t for Jian…there was a fool who said I had poor taste.” Jian Changjia’s face became gloomy. “Just say if you’re going to come or not.”
How could his sidekick let go of such a good opportunity? “I’ll come, I’ll come. I’ll come over at once!”
After the call was hung up, the buddy was getting ready to go out when he suddenly realized a somewhat serious problem…what is Chang-ge going to do with such clothes ah!
