The letter written by Gu Tingyu was very simple, briefly mentioning the follow-up developments. Mrs. Song had safely arrived in Shangjing, and Zhong Fei had been handed over to the relevant authorities. He was about to attend a training session, which would take about a month. Upon seeing this, Yiyi’s face was full of smiles.

Even with just a few words, she still felt happy.

After putting the letter away in the drawer, Yiyi noticed the box Fang Cheng had given her. She took it out and opened it directly, and indeed, there was two hundred yuan inside. After taking out the money, she intended to place the box back, but without the money, Yiyi realized something was amiss. The bottom panel seemed loose.

"Huh..."

Yiyi suspiciously examined the box and, after removing the bottom panel, discovered that the box had another layer below. The bottom layer was filled with multicolored gemstones, dazzling at first glance, with sparkling diamonds, bright red rubies, yellow cat’s eyes, and some other gemstones she didn’t recognize.

Looking at these, Yiyi’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

Just by looking at the color and clarity of these gemstones, she knew they couldn’t be fake. But... wasn’t Teacher Yang just an ordinary teacher? How could he have these things? However, she quickly thought of Fang Cheng, and her curiosity about his identity grew even more, but it wasn’t her business.

Closing the box, Yiyi decided to visit Teacher Yang’s house tomorrow to return these gemstones. These things were invaluable, and she didn’t dare accept them casually, especially since she hadn’t finished detoxifying Yang Liu yet.

"Yiyi, come have some fruit."

Ding Yuejun called out when she saw her daughter hadn’t come out yet.

"Oh...coming."

Yiyi responded with a smile and stepped out of the door.

"Yiyi, who is the letter from?"

Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but ask when she saw her daughter in a good mood.

"It’s a letter from Gu Tingyu."

"Oh, it’s him." Ding Yuejun nodded when she heard this, looking at her daughter’s joyful face, and she couldn’t help but think of Gu Tingyu’s unparalleled handsome face. Her heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and she carefully said, "Yiyi, it’s your senior year, the most important time. You can’t get distracted."

Hearing this, Yiyi looked at her mother with some confusion and said, "Mom, I know, I definitely won’t get distracted. I’ll work hard to get into college."

Seeing her daughter speak so firmly, Ding Yuejun decided not to say more, feeling she might have been overthinking.

Fei Erya, eating grapes, couldn’t resist asking, "Aren’t Sister Xiao Hong and Shanshan back yet?"

Just as she spoke, there was the sound of the door opening outside, and Mo Xiaohong and Mo Shan had returned.

"Sister, Shanshan, you’re finally back."

Mo Xiaohong couldn’t help complaining, "It’s all Zeng Jiahe’s fault. I said we should have come back earlier, but he insisted on taking Shanshan to a tucked-away place to eat skewers, even though we’d already had dinner."

Mo Shan, however, cheerfully said, "Auntie, Sister Erya, the skewers there are really delicious. Let’s go together next time, okay?"

Seeing her daughter so happy, Mo Xiaohong didn’t say much more.

And seeing her granddaughter’s rosy face, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but say, "It seems Jiahe really likes children, getting along so well with Shanshan."

Yiyi didn’t say anything since she hadn’t started investigating Zeng Jiahe’s issues yet and wasn’t sure whether what he said was true. At this moment, she deeply felt the downside of lacking manpower; there wasn’t anyone to help with tasks.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but sigh. It would be great if she had capable people at her disposal.

After finishing the fruit, Yiyi and Fei Erya went back to their room to do homework. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The next day after school, Yiyi and Fei Erya went to Teacher Yang’s house again.

"Teacher, how are you feeling today?"

Fei Erya, seeing Yang Liu, couldn’t help but ask with concern.

"I’m feeling much better."

Today, Yang Liu could sit up by herself, leaning against the headboard, her gentle gaze looking towards Yiyi and Fei Erya, with eyes full of light. Having been ill for so long, this was the first time she had hope, and it was also the time she felt best in spirits recently.

Hearing Yang Liu’s words, Fei Erya let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good."

Yiyi took the box out of her backpack and handed it to Fang Cheng, standing to the side, saying, "Returning the box to you."

Fang Cheng did not accept it. "Since it’s given to you, it’s now yours."

"I really can’t accept this box."

Yang Liu looked at Yiyi with a smile and said, "Yiyi, since A Cheng gave it to you, accept it. It must be something you rightfully deserve."

Fei Erya, standing to the side, was a bit puzzled, not understanding why they were pushing a mere box back and forth.

Yiyi still held out the box, not taking it back.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng said directly, "The medicine you provided is worth this, and besides, we will trouble you later. Liu’er is entrusted to you. Compared to Liu’er’s life, nothing else matters."

Initially, he thought Yiyi might not understand anything due to her age, but he had seen Liu’er’s current state firsthand, something previous renowned doctors couldn’t achieve. Therefore, this little girl in front of him was truly capable, worthy of possessing those gemstones.

"You should take it back. Even if you return it to me, I won’t accept it. Anything I give away, if not accepted, will end up being thrown away."

Hearing Fang Cheng’s words, Yiyi couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. In the end, she accepted the box, but it only solidified her belief that Fang Cheng wasn’t an ordinary person.

Seeing Yiyi accept the items, Fang Cheng then said, "The herbs will be ready by next Saturday at the latest. I will contact you by then."

Hearing this, Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said, "That’s pretty quick. I’ll come by next weekend. Make sure the teacher drinks the medicine on time these days."

"Alright."

Having spoken enough, Yiyi planned to leave, while Yang Liu invited them to stay for a meal.

"Teacher Yang, invite us for a meal when you’re fully recovered."

Hearing Yiyi’s words, Yang Liu couldn’t help but smile and said, "Alright, I’ll invite you next time."

Back home, Yiyi selected a few smaller gemstones from the box and put the rest away. After that, she started doing her homework.

Most of her homework was done smoothly, but when she worked on her English assignment, Yiyi just felt a headache. Then she thought of how great Yang Liu was, especially since the current Mr. Liu wasn’t a great teacher—his temper was quite big and he constantly bothered her, which was really annoying.

"Yiyi, have you finished your homework? Is there anything you don’t understand?"

Fei Erya finished her homework and came over to help Yiyi.

"Erya, actually there is. I have some English questions I don’t understand."

After Fei Erya explained, Yiyi finally finished her homework.

However, even though Yiyi earnestly completed her assignments, the English teacher would always find mistakes, "Mo Yiyi, what kind of assignment is this you’ve done?"
