Beichuan Lin didn't believe it.

Yes.

Beichuan Lin wouldn't believe it.

Thinking from a normal person's perspective, it was impossible to believe such things could happen.

Maybe in the past couple of months, Beichuan Si had indeed become more sensible than before.

But that was just being more sensible than before.

He had learned to take care of others.

But the things mentioned by Beichuan Huili, like "Nakajima Michika moving into their house" or "Beichuan Si making several million yen a month"...

Such things were absolutely impossible.

At most, there might be a wealthy and kind-hearted tenant living in their house who took a liking to Beichuan Si and Beichuan Huili, providing financial support for them.

If Beichuan Si really could make several million yen a month, then what was she, Beichuan Lin, striving for? She could be traveling around and enjoying her later years right now.

Then the question arose.

Why would Beichuan Huili joke about this with her?

Beichuan Lin had some thoughts already.

It must have been Beichuan Si signaling to Beichuan Huili, aiming to surprise her.

That made sense.

Beichuan Lin knew.

Beichuan Si was hiding something from her just to give her a big surprise; since her son had put so much effort into this, she, as a mother, naturally couldn't let his painstaking efforts be in vain.

Right, Beichuan Lin had figured out all of Beichuan Si's thoughts.

To put it in plain language, "She had understood everything."

Now that she had understood everything, the next steps were simple—

Beichuan Lin wanted to meet with Beichuan Si, ask about his recent situation, and see what her son had turned into these past couple of months.

That's why she had avoided Shen Gu Mirai and came alone to find Beichuan Huili.

She was going to meet with Beichuan Si anyway, so she could just ask Beichuan Si to call Shen Gu Mirai over to join them and then reveal her identity...

Perfect.

To be honest, Beichuan Lin also wanted to see that intelligent Shen Gu Mirai's expression when she found out her identity... that surprised look.

As for now... she'd temporarily pretend to be shocked by what Beichuan Huili had told her.

After pondering, Beichuan Lin feigned a shocked expression that couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a while, she seemingly regained her composure and said, "So that's it, no wonder they call Brother Temple invincible... hmm... I think I understand what's been happening at home these past few months. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Temple for a long time, let's go find him now."

However, to Beichuan Lin's request, Beichuan Huili touched her head awkwardly, "Mommy Riri... I'm really sorry, I had plans with some friends earlier to go to the Kyubei Festival together..."

Upon saying this, Beichuan Huili paused, then continued,

"But since Mommy Riri is back, I definitely want to be with you. However, I need to explain the situation to my friends, so you go ahead and see Brother Temple first, I'll notify them and they'll be right over."

Beichuan Lin nodded in agreement to Beichuan Huili's reasonable explanation.

Beichuan Lin also wanted to spend more time with her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long while, but social interactions were also important, she definitely couldn't make it awkward for Beichuan Huili.

They exchanged a few more words, then Beichuan Huili left.

Beichuan Lin also took out her phone.

Staring at the screen showing Beichuan Si's mobile number, Beichuan Lin's expression was complicated.

Her son had changed in these past couple of months.

While perhaps not as exaggerated as Beichuan Huili had made it sound, it was true he cared for his sister.

The old Beichuan Si wouldn't have done that.

"After this meeting... maybe ease up on him a bit."

She had always held Beichuan Si to strict standards, and Beichuan Lin was aware of this.

But as the elder brother, it was natural for her to do so.

Now that Beichuan Si had changed, she naturally had to loosen up.

"My son, invincible... huh?"

Thinking of how Beichuan Huili had just been singing Beichuan Si's praises, Beichuan Lin found it a bit amusing.

Then—

She dialed Beichuan Si's phone number.

The call connected in less than a second.

It was as if Beichuan Si on the other end had been waiting for her call.

Before Beichuan Lin could exchange pleasantries, Beichuan Si on the other end spoke first,

"Are you in Kyubei?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Uh... behind the gym, on the bench."

"I'll come to you, don't wander off."

Click.

The call ended.

This series of brief questions and answers left Beichuan Lin blinking in some bewilderment.

Quick... way too quick.

And how was Beichuan Si's attitude?

'Don't wander off'?

Are you treating me like a child?

I'm your mother! If anyone should be saying 'don't wander off,' it should be me to you.

Beichuan Lin's mouth twitched, and she almost couldn't resist calling Beichuan Si again to emphasize the hierarchical relationship between them.

But after some thought, Beichuan Lin eventually decided to shake her head and let it go.

After all, emphasizing such relationships was a sign of immaturity.

"Kyubei High School is really tranquil," Beichuan Lin, feeling comfortable, leaned back on the bench, looked up, and gazed at the clouds floating in the sky.

She had rushed to Kyubei right after getting off the plane, and after this relaxing atmosphere, Beichuan Lin felt a wave of fatigue emerging from deep within.

Beichuan Lin adjusted her shoulder bag, yawned, leaned against the bench, and decided to take a nap.
