Chapter 0004: The Transformation of Feng Sizhe

As Zhao Mingyuan, who emerged from the war years, joined the army at the age of fifteen, he first served as a guard for the current Chairman of the Central Military Commission. Three years later, he entered the field army and soon participated in the three major campaigns that shocked the world. For someone with such experiences, he understood the importance of having a good physique. Therefore, he required his children to exercise from a young age. Over time, this family education became ingrained. Even though Feng Sizhe had been away from his grandfather for many years, his mother in England still insisted on this, because Feng Sizhe's father had also suffered from poor health, which led to his early departure from this world without experiencing much struggle. After this incident, Zhao Lirong increasingly valued Feng Sizhe's health.

Oh, you want to chat with grandpa, that's great. He Jia Yu did not expect that Feng Si Zhe, who usually only called her grandpa and grandma, would actually want to talk to the old man at this moment, which made her quite happy. In her excitement, she somewhat lost her composure, grabbing Feng Si Zhe's arm and heading towards the inner room, while calling out, "Old man, our grandson has come to see you and wants to chat, hurry up, haha." In her excitement, she somewhat lost her composure, grabbing Feng Si Zhe's arm and heading towards the inner room, while calling out, "Old man, our grandson has come to see you and wants to chat, hurry up, haha."

Zhao Wangang, due to the particular nature of his work, does not live with Zhao Mingyuan. Even Zhao Wanyong and Zhao Lishu usually do not stay in the capital when the old gentleman is in good health. However, they all happened to come to Kyoto for a meeting during this period, which is why they gathered in the courtyard. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a situation with the old gentleman's health being compromised? Each of them can be said to be anxious and worried.

Zhao Ming and the librarian could not have imagined why their grandson was being so kind to them today. Now, he could not think too much about it. Since he had mentioned feeling a bit unwell, he could only continue to pretend. He decided to hide in his own bedroom for the time being.

"Why are you feeling unwell?" He Jiayu still did not understand Zhao Mingyuan's thoughts; she thought he was genuinely unwell.

No need, thank you for your concern, Grandfather. Grandfather, Grandmother, I will be going out now. Feng Sizhe politely bowed to Zhao Mingyuan and He Jiayu, and seeing that his grandfather was indeed fine, he felt relieved. He then turned and walked out of the room, jogging towards the west playground.

I feel uncomfortable. The thought that my grandson is likely to confront me and return to the United Kingdom makes Zhao Mingyuan feel a surge of anger. What is wrong with my own country? Why must he contribute to another country, shining and thriving? Isn't it the same to contribute to our motherland?

Looking at Feng Sizhe's back, Zhao Mingyuan was convinced that he had indeed said and done so, and he couldn't help but feel extremely excited. "Hehe, good, good, it's good to know that studying is important, very good."

Zhao Mingyuan holds a significant position in his household. When he becomes angry, He Jiayu immediately softens, saying, "Alright, I will go and talk. Honestly, at your age, why do you still get so worked up?"

"Grandma, I would like to see Grandpa and have a chat with him, is that alright?" Although Grandma had already assured him that the old man was fine, Feng Sizhe still felt a twinge of unease. As someone whose mental maturity was quite advanced, he had a deeper understanding of the concept of filial piety.

Zhe'er, your grandfather is in good health. If you have nothing else to do, you should quickly prepare for school. Oh, if you are feeling a bit tired, then you can take a leave for two days; taking a break in Kyoto to refresh your mind is also a good thing. Regardless of whether Zhao Mingyuan was happy or not in his heart, he was still very pleased that his grandson came to see him. To prevent Feng Sizhe from bringing up the matter of returning to England, he deliberately found an excuse, which was to let Feng Sizhe take a two-day break to relax and hopefully forget about the idea of going back to England.

It was heard that the old man really had no issues. Zhao Wanyong, Zhao Lishu, and Zhao Lizhu all nodded and silently left. They were quite familiar with their father's stubborn temperament, and seeing their mother's demeanor, it was clear that the old man was indeed not ill, so they left with peace of mind. Only Feng Sizhe remained standing in place, prompting He Jiayu to walk over and ask, "Zhe'er, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Watching the old man call out four numbers, He Jiayu, although still not fully understanding their meaning, could see that the old man was very happy, and that was enough. For a woman of He Jiayu's era, having a good partner truly meant everything, as Zhao Mingyuan, in a certain sense, was her world.

He Jiayu listened to the old man's words and went outside to tell his anxious son and daughter in the outer room that the old man was fine, urging them to go about their business as usual

Zhao Mingyuan raised his eyes to see his wife, He Jiayu, pulling in Feng Sizhe by the arm. He immediately thought that his wife had taken the initiative to invite their grandson to see him, and he felt that he had no way to hide. However, his wife actually brought Feng Sizhe in, which made him sigh even more, thinking that everything is a play of fate.

Upon exiting his grandfather's bedroom, Feng Sizhe quickly made his way to the west playground, where his uncle, second aunt, younger aunt, Zhao Mingyuan's driver, and the staff were engaged in physical exercise.

Seeing the old woman reach out her hand to his forehead, Zhao Mingyuan suddenly sat up from the bed in anger, then pushed away the hand that his partner had extended. "What do you know? Go tell the children that I am fine, and let them do whatever they need to do."

"Old man, old man, look, the grandson is here." He Jiayu watched as Feng Sizhe's arm walked into the inner room

"I said, old man, what is wrong with your body? If you feel unwell, quickly tell me about it." Seeing the old man lying on the bed with a flushed face, Feng Zhe's grandmother, He Jiayu, was quite anxious. She did not realize that Zhao Mingyuan's redness was due to embarrassment and shyness.

Hearing Feng Sizhe's words, Zhao Mingyuan was taken aback. He truly did not expect that his grandson had come merely to see him, without mentioning anything about returning to the UK. Moreover, despite his generous offer of a holiday, the grandson did not want it, which left Zhao Mingyuan feeling somewhat perplexed. "Zhe'er, are you really sure you don't need to take a good rest for a couple of days?"

Outside the inner room, Feng Zhe's maternal uncle Zhao Wanyong, second aunt Zhao Lishu, and younger aunt Zhao Lizhu hurriedly arrived, having heard that the old man’s health had suddenly deteriorated. Everyone was extremely anxious, and even Zhao Lizhu quickly called her second brother Zhao Wangang, who works at the Ministry of Public Security, urging him to come over as soon as possible from his workplace.

Zhao Mingyuan, lying on the bed in the inner room, was even more anxious. He never expected that merely using a casual excuse of feeling unwell would cause such a commotion among the entire family. It is understandable, as he had never shown any signs of illness before; he was someone who never even received a shot. Now, suddenly feeling as if he might collapse on the bed, who wouldn't be anxious

Zhao Mingyuan, who was staying in the inner room, was contemplating how to avoid Feng Sizhe. He wondered if he should turn back and find an opportunity to go out for a stroll. If he did that, he would not see his grandson, and thus there would be no way to bring up the matter of taking him away. However, he never expected that today Feng Sizhe seemed to have set his sights on him. His grandson, who usually avoided him and was reluctant to engage, first went to the playground and then came to his bedroom to talk. "Alas, is it a blessing or a curse? One can keep a person but not their heart. Well, it is what it is." Zhao Mingyuan shook his head and decided to have a good talk with his grandson. At the very least, he needed to make some effort to see if he could change Feng Sizhe's mind about leaving.

Grandfather, as long as you are in good health, I still need to attend classes; I do not wish to take a leave of absence. Feng Sizhe saw that his grandfather indeed looked radiant and did not seem to be suffering from any discomfort, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. After greeting him, he expressed his intention to study diligently. Although Feng Sizhe did not understand why his grandfather suddenly suggested that he take a two-day break from school, he still believed that it was better not to take leave during his studies in the Youth Class. Such disorganized and undisciplined behavior would inevitably leave a bad impression.

The grandmother is very fond of her grandson, He Jiayu, but due to the fact that he has not been around since childhood, it seems that their relationship is not very deep. At least when they are together, they do not know what to say and cannot find common ground. Therefore, apart from showing some concern for Feng Sizhe's living conditions, this grandmother truly does not know how to interact with her grandson.

A group of people hurriedly placed Zhao Mingyuan on the bed, some boiling water while others called for a doctor, in short, everyone was busy. Meanwhile, Zhao Mingyuan's wife, He Jiayu, quickly entered the inner room to see what was wrong with her husband.

No one was more anxious than Feng Sizhe. After all, he had managed to be reborn and was contemplating how to leverage his foresight to contribute to his family, to revitalize the Zhao family and bring glory to its name. However, unexpectedly, the old man suddenly fell ill. Could it be that the trajectory of this world he was reborn into was completely different from the one he had lived in? If that were the case, his rebirth would hold no advantages at all, and Feng Sizhe couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.

Watching his partner He Jiayu walk out, Zhao Mingyuan sighed to himself, "What is meant to come will always come; one cannot escape it. After all, I am a seasoned veteran, having once charged into battle and now holding a high rank among generals. How can I use my poor health as an excuse to play tricks on my grandson? It is truly laughable.
