“It’s just such a small matter? Kai Ge, rest assured—I’ll definitely get the job done!” Meimei replied without even thinking.

No surprise there.

After all, to Meimei, Kai Ge is like a god—whatever he says, she’ll obey.

But Ming Kai said, “Meimei, don’t be careless. That Yaoyao kid is pretty stubborn and has his own ideas, plus he’s quick-witted. I’m not ready for him to find out yet…”

“Kai Ge, don’t worry! I’m not stupid—I’ll definitely keep it a secret!” Meimei patted her chest emphatically as she promised, then asked excitedly, “Kai Ge, when do I leave? What’s his exact address? And just so you know, you’ve got to reimburse me for travel and expenses, okay?”

“No problem.”

Ming Kai nodded with a smile and immediately transferred some money to Meimei, along with a card.

Meimei jumped for joy. “Kai Ge, hooray! From now on, whenever you have a great mission like this, remember to think of me more often! I promise I’ll handle it perfectly—forget about guidance; give me a little time, and I’ll even turn Yaoyao into an exact copy of me!”

Ming Kai: …

Nah, that’s unnecessary.

As long as the past doesn’t affect the future, that’s fine.

Someone like Meimei… well, she’s a bit over the top—it’s a headache.

Gang Zi: …

I’m really speechless!

Oh, whatever. It was a gift from Mom and Dad; can’t exactly send it back now, so we’ll just make do with it.

Meimei didn’t stay long. After bouncing around the room for a bit, she wisely took her leave. Gang Zi, however, stayed behind and briefly filled Ming Kai in on what had happened earlier. Ming Kai remained expressionless, only replying coolly, “The greedy always want more—like a snake swallowing an elephant. Back then, I was so naive and blind! If I’d only been a little clearer-headed, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

“Young Master, the past is the past—please don’t dwell on it,” Gang Zi tried to comfort him.

But Ming Kai shook his head. “How could I not think about it? Only by thinking deeply can I, can we, can anyone we care about avoid making the same mistakes again.”

Gang Zi nodded and fell silent.

Then Ming Kai spoke up: “Gang Zi, I just took it upon myself to send Meimei over there to talk some sense into Yaoyao without consulting you first. Don’t blame me—it was a spur-of-the-moment idea. Rest assured, I have no ulterior motives, let alone any intention of matchmaking between them. I just saw how lively Meimei is and thought she might be able to change Yaoyao, bring him back to being that bright, cheerful young man again. As for Meimei, I have absolutely no improper feelings toward her. She’s your own sister—only you and she can decide her life’s major choices; none of us should interfere!”

“Young Master, don’t worry—I won’t read too much into it. I’m just a little concerned that Yaoyao…” Gang Zi scratched his head sheepishly, “that Yaoyao might get fed up with Meimei’s chatter and drive her crazy.”

“Maybe he will!” Ming Kai couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Still, sometimes it’s precisely when two people at opposite ends of the spectrum come together that they can produce unexpected results.

Perhaps Yaoyao will become much more cheerful, and Meimei will gain a bit more composure. Who knows?

In short, these two boys, who should be enjoying their youthful bloom, learning from each other and getting to know one another—it’s certainly not a bad thing.

“And Young Master, do you think Meimei can keep it under wraps? Won’t she give away your whereabouts?” Gang Zi asked worriedly.

Ming Kai shook his head. “Gang Zi, don’t you realize how smart your little sister is? With her quick wit, even if I give that Jiang guy a heads-up, she won’t spill the beans.”
