Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 497 - 90 (Continued!)

Although the entrance ceremony was held at noon, Li Zhiyuan went early in the morning, followed by Tan Wenbin, Run Sheng, and Yin Meng.

They initially thought they might be able to help with the move, but upon arrival, they found the place already deserted.

Liu Grandma’s move was truly just about her relocating; she left all the furniture and belongings behind, after all, the building was hers, and it didn’t matter where they were stored.

Li Zhiyuan and the others had to return to the school, arriving at the faculty residential area where there were row houses, albeit with smaller rooms and yards.

Tan Wenbin went to inquire about Mr. Luo’s original house location. When they got there, they saw a man in the small yard reinforcing a flower rack with a hammer.

Li Zhiyuan shouted, "Uncle Qin, the soy sauce bottle in the kitchen is tipped over."

"Really? I better go and fix it quickly."

Uncle Qin finished nailing, turned around, and looked at Li Zhiyuan, the two exchanged a smile.

Li Zhiyuan clearly remembered the scene from a year ago, sitting on Uncle Qin’s bike. Back then, he had been terrifyingly strong. freeweɓnøvel~com

Entering the yard, one could tell the meticulous design Mr. Luo once did. Although it wasn’t as large as the previous place, it had the charm of being unique.

Liu Yumei could get used to living in the little east room at the Grandmaster’s house, so she could definitely live here.

Most importantly, it was on campus, close to his dormitory area, making it more convenient for him to visit in the future.

Upon entering the house, they found Alii’s room situated on the sunny first floor, with a windowed door directly facing the yard.

To enter Alii’s room, they didn’t even need to use the main door, but rather, cross the small yard’s fence, step over the lawn, push open the window door, and enter.

For ordinary people, it might be somewhat unsafe, but for this family, the least concerning issue was safety.

However, the rooms in this house were small, with space for only a bed, so Alii’s drawing table and desk were placed in the second room on the first floor.

As for Liu Yumei and Aunt Liu, their bedroom had to be situated upstairs.

Aunt Liu, seeing both Run Sheng and Binbin coming over, could only slap her forehead, "Oh, my, really, just moved in and have to get busy already."

They started preparing the big pot of rice.

Li Zhiyuan finally savored once more the kind of taste they used to have at the Grand Master’s House.

During the meal, Tan Wenbin asked, "Grandma Liu, where are we having lunch at noon?"

Liu Yumei pointed with her chopsticks at the table in front of them, "Still eating at home."

Tan Wenbin looked up, puzzled, "Is there enough space?"

"Isn’t everyone seated now?"

Tan Wenbin understood, "No guests?"

"Why need any guests, isn’t all the family here already?"

"Hehe, I thought you’d call some old friends to support. You really have grown accustomed to simplicity now, embracing a high level of understanding."

"Even in earlier days, entrance ceremonies did not involve inviting outsiders or lavish arrangements." Liu Yumei glanced at Li Zhiyuan while wiping her mouth with a napkin, "After entering, if one can make it back from the River Crossing, those who need to know will know; if not, inviting others would only leave room for gossip and mockery, wouldn’t it?"

Uncle Qin, sitting at the table, put down his chopsticks and lowered his head.

Li Zhiyuan knew Uncle Qin had failed at River Crossing. Grandma Liu attributed this to her own impatience, but Li Zhiyuan was curious about what could have possibly stopped someone with Uncle Qin’s ability.

Simultaneously, passing by Uncle Qin into the courtyard earlier, Li Zhiyuan also detected the herbal scent emanating from Uncle Qin, indicating he returned injured and severely so.

Liu Yumei gave Uncle Qin a quick side glance and said softly, "Ali, let’s eat."

"Hmm." Uncle Qin picked up his chopsticks again, "Xiao Yuan won’t disappoint you."

"Times have changed, and I long let it pass." After saying this, Liu Yumei, who had just finished wiping her lips, picked up a spoon and took a sip of the snow pear soup.

*Some things, spoken out loud, might fool others, but not oneself.*

*The inheritance and foundation of both the Qin and Liu families rested on her shoulders.*

*Claiming to have no desire to see the past splendor again would be a lie.*

*But time had taught her tolerance and patience. She wouldn’t put pressure on a young one like she did with Qin Li.*

*On the contrary, now she worried more about whether the youngster’s own pace might be too fast, and whether she should delay his initiation to the River Crossing, to prevent excessive haste leading to downfall.*

After the meal, there was a period of relaxation, which felt a bit like New Year, with everyone putting aside their own affairs to gather at home.

In the yard, Uncle Qin was tapping Run Sheng’s muscles.

"Run Sheng, you have too much dead muscle, and the stagnation in your body is too serious."

"Too much dead muscle" referred to blindly relying on brute strength, while "stagnation" was a characteristic of Run Sheng’s physique.

Li Sanjiang once said that when Mr. Shan picked up Run Sheng, he found out the boy had survived by eating spoiled meat.

Therefore, the specifics of Mr. Shan finding Run Sheng by the river were open to discussion, considering Mr. Shan was a Corpse Recovery Diver. What had he intended to do by the river?

Yet, Mr. Shan genuinely raised Run Sheng like his own grandson, unwilling to bring up the past. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped Run Sheng could live like a normal person, not seeing himself as an outlier.

Uncle Qin’s comment made Run Sheng feel ashamed.

He anxiously glanced toward the floor-to-ceiling window, where the boy sat shoulder to shoulder with Alii playing chess.

Run Sheng knew well how great the boy’s expectations of him were.

*Perhaps having witnessed Uncle Qin’s prowess, the boy had always hoped he could become Uncle Qin, or even surpass him.*

*But now, it seemed he might not have the talent to do so.*
