Jun Ziheng only stayed for one day on the first day of the new year before returning to the army.

Before Jun Ziheng left, he looked at Jun Zinuo, who looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at Jun Zinuo's face, which he had missed for a long time, and his heart ached. He loved her, and he knew that she had him in her heart, but he was too weak now. He was afraid that if he got too close to her, not only would he not be able to protect her, but he would also hurt her. It might not be a bad thing for her to stay with her brother now. With her brother's protection, the old master would think twice before making arrangements for her, but her brother's thoughts…

Jun Zinuo looked into Jun Ziheng's pained and affectionate eyes, and his heart stirred. She hoped to hear Jun Ziheng's explanation. If he wanted her to wait, she would do her best to wait for him. In the end, Jun Ziheng didn't say anything. Jun Zinuo felt disappointed but also relieved.

After the new year, Mother Jun heard something and started to bring Jun Zinuo to visit some of the more prestigious families in Nanjing. She even arranged a few blind dates for her, which annoyed Jun Zinuo.

Jun Zinuo really couldn't understand. She was the youngest in the Jun Family. Jun Zixuan and Jun Ziheng were not married. Even if the old man wanted to marry her off, it wouldn't be at this time. She really did not understand what her mother was afraid of. She had to find someone to marry her off to be at ease.

Jun Zinuo finally managed to make it to the start of school. He quickly moved to Jun Zixuan's place. At least it was quiet here.

On the second day after moving back, Jun Zinuo welcomed a guest.

Fang Qianqian sat in the living room like the mistress of the house. Although she was smiling, Jun Zinuo could not feel it.

Jun Zinuo poured her a glass of warm water and sat quietly at the side. Since she had already treated herself as the mistress, she could not take over the role and could only sit with her.

"I heard from Xuan that you've always been taking care of him, right?”Fang Qianqian's tone sounded gentle, but it gave off a condescending feeling.

"I didn't take care of Big Brother. I just helped him cook a few meals.”Jun Zinuo said with a smile.

"You know how to cook. You're amazing! Then Xuan and I won't go out for lunch today. How about we try your cooking?”

Jun Zinuo pinched her palm with her fingernails and said with a gentle smile,""Alright! There aren't many vegetables at home, so I'll go buy some.”

"There's no need to go. I'll call Xuan now and ask him to bring it back.”

Before Jun Zinuo could say anything, Fang Qianqian had already called Jun Zixuan.

"Xuan, it's almost time to get off work, right? Today, Nono said that she would cook for us. Buy some groceries when you come back! You know what I like to eat." Before Jun Zi Xuan could reply, Fang Qianqian quickly hung up. After Fang Qianqian hung up the phone, she looked at Jun Zinuo as if she was showing off.

Jun Zinuo realized that his self-restraint was too good. He was looking at Fang Qianqian with his eyes wide open, yet she could still smile.

Jun Zixuan came back very quickly. Jun Zinuo guessed that he would probably rush back after hanging up the phone.

Fang Qianqian ran over happily and threw herself into Jun Zi Xuan's arms.

"Xuan, you came back so quickly."

Jun Zixuan ignored Fang Qianqian's words. He raised his head and looked at Jun Zinuo, who was standing in the living room. Jun Zinuo had a gentle smile on his face from the beginning to the end.

"Eh? Xuan, where are the things you bought?"

Fang Qianqian looked at the empty-handed Jun Zi Xuan and asked in surprise. A trace of unwillingness flashed across her eyes.

"I made a reservation at Yaxiang Restaurant and ordered your favorite dish.”

"But Nono said she would cook for us.”Fang Qianqian bit her lip and looked at Jun Zi Xuan with an aggrieved expression.

Jun Zi Xuan's deep eyes looked at Fang Qianqian with a dark and unclear expression.

"Nono only knows how to cook a few dishes that nourish the stomach. They're only suitable for me.”Jun Zixuan said lightly, his expression becoming unfathomable.

Fang Qianqian felt a chill run down her spine and her heart skipped a beat. She could feel that she seemed to have touched the reverse scale of Jun Zi Xuan. A hint of hatred flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly hidden in her eyes.

Fang Qianqian turned around and held Jun Zinuo's hand happily."Nuonuo, come with us!”

Jun Zinuo waved his hand and smiled." It's alright. I'm going to take my exams soon. I still have some books to finish!"”After saying that, he walked into his room. She did not want to stay and watch Fang Qianqian's clumsy and hypocritical acting.

During dinner time, Jun Zi Xuan came back very early.

Jun Zixuan leaned against the kitchen door frame and looked at Jun Zinuo, who was busy in the kitchen, with a solemn expression. He gently walked behind Jun Zinuo and gently hugged him in his arms.

"Pa!" Jun Zinuo's body stiffened, and the spatula in his hand fell to the ground.

"Don't move, just for a while." Jun Zixuan rested his chin on Jun Zinuo's head and said softly.

Jun Zi Xuan felt very satisfied at this moment. It was only at this moment that he truly felt that Jun Zinuo was right beside him. It was not like how he usually felt that she was far away from him even though she was by his side.

"Ring…" The ear-piercing ringtone interrupted the romantic atmosphere in the room. Jun Zixuan let go of Jun Zinuo and turned around to enter the living room.

Jun Zinuo picked up his phone uneasily.

"Nuonuo, something happened to Second Brother." Jun Zizhuo's anxious voice came from the phone.

Jun Zinuo panicked and asked with a trembling voice,""What happened to Second Brother?"

"He was seriously injured when he was on a mission in Guangzhou. He's currently in the Guangzhou Military Hospital for emergency treatment.”

Jun Zinuo's phone fell to the floor and shattered into pieces, just like how she was feeling right now.

When the three of them arrived at the hospital, Jun Ziheng was still in the emergency room. Jun Ziqing accompanied Jun Zhiwu and Mu Xiyao as they sat on the long corridor outside the operating room.

Mu Xiyao looked at Jun Zinuo, who was slowly walking towards her, her eyes filled with hatred. She stood up abruptly and walked over.

"Pa!" She gave Jun Zinuo a tight slap.

"What are you doing? Little Aunt." Jun Zizhuo quickly shielded Jun Zinuo behind him.

Jun Zixuan looked coldly at Mu Xiyao who had gone mad.

Jun Zinuo stood rooted to the ground. She had been beaten senseless. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. Recently, she might have had a bad year and had been slapped repeatedly.

Jun Ziqing quickly pulled Mu Xiyao aside and said apologetically to Jun Zinuo,""Nuonuo, I'm sorry. My mother was so anxious that she was confused.”

Jun Zhiwu, who was sitting at the side, also stood up. He looked at his wife, who was baffled, with an unhappy expression.

Jun Zizhuo wanted to say something, but Jun Zinuo stopped him. She pulled Jun Zizhuo aside and waited quietly.

Jun Zixuan stood beside Jun Zhiwu and asked softly.

The lights in the operating theater went out, and Jun Ziheng was pushed out. The few of them quickly ran over and surrounded the bed.

"Heng, what's wrong? Don't scare Mommy!”Mu Xiyao grabbed Jun Ziheng's hand, tears streaming down her face.

Jun Zinuo looked at Jun Ziheng, who was lying on the bed with a sallow face. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tears instantly flowed down her face.

"The patient is out of danger, but he still needs to be observed. Please keep quiet.”The doctor who came out later looked at them and said.

Jun Ziheng was pushed into the ward while Jun Zixuan accompanied Jun Zhiwu to the doctor's office.

Jun Ziqing, whose face was covered in tears, supported Mu Xiyao, who was on the verge of collapsing, and said,""Mom, Second Brother is fine now. Go to the hotel and rest first! If Second Brother wakes up and sees you like this, he will blame himself.”

Mu Xiyao went to the hotel after Jun Ziqing persuaded her.

"Nuonuo, do you want to go back to the hotel with me first?”Jun Zizhuo looked at Jun Zinuo with a complicated expression.

Jun Zinuo shook his head. She wanted to wait here. Second Aunt's slap made her feel that Jun Ziheng's injury had something to do with her. Although Second Shen did not like her usually, she had never spoken ill of her.

"Alright then! I'll go to the hotel to make arrangements first. I'll be back later.”

Jun Zinuo sat in the long corridor of the hospital, his mind in a mess.

"Do you think that my mother slapped you unjustly?”Jun Ziqing had unknowingly sat beside Jun Zinuo.

Jun Zinuo lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes covered her eyes, making it impossible for others to see the emotions hidden in them.

"My brother doesn't want to get engaged to Sister Jingya at all, but my mom told him that as long as he has a certain level of strength and reaches the achievements she wants, she won't interfere with his marriage anymore.”

Jun Ziqing paused for a moment, looked straight at Jun Zinuo and said,""Do you know who he wants to marry?"

Jun Zinuo looked at Jun Ziqing calmly, but he was extremely nervous.

"The person he wants to marry is you. Do you think that's possible?”Jun Ziqing looked at Jun Zinuo mockingly.

"If he wanted to marry you, not only would the Jun Family not agree, but even the Mu Family would not agree. However, he was unwilling to give up, and in the end, he ended up like this.”
