"Son, you know your sister is not as strong as you; how can you be too cruel and do this to her?" Ling Li reminded her son, Shi Min.
"Mom, don’t you think this is good for Ren? Shun is in training, and he can be in an accident anyti. It is good for her to realize as early as possible that she needs to be on her own occasionally. Don’t spoil her too much." Shi Min asserted.
"I know, son, I know you an well. But please don’t be too harsh on your sisters."
"I understand, Mom, don’t worry. I know my limit." Shi Min once again assured her Mom.
"Thank you, son."
Ling Li walked back into the house. Ren is still in tears; Ling Li’s heart sank, and her head hurts when she sees how her son punishes her sister. ’Ah, these children!’
"Mom, did you have an update for Shi Min?" Ren rushed up to her.
"Yes, Ren. Don’t worry too much now; they have already started the blood transfusions. Your Brother and Paps are both there together with Pharsa. Shun will be alright." Ling Li pulled Ren and hugged her as they sat on the sofa.
Lily, who was with them throughout, could only remain silent and cried with her sister.
"Big sister, be strong. Shun will be alright. You must not look too devastated, or Shun will worry when he sees you when he cos ho," Lily said while controlling her tears and consoling her sister.
That night, only the three of them had dinner; it was unusually silent, and the mood was so gloomy.
On the other hand, at the camp, the party already started, and it was in full blast. Everyone was happily drinking and eating; the spread of food was abundant because of Shi Min’ss presence. Young cadets were performing, and contests were among them. Shi Min had given them several red pockets in which to compete.
Shi Min and the rest of the gentlen didn’t go ho that night. The four gentlen were too drunk while Shi Min was on guard, making sure none of them would go ho as per his plan.
After midnight, Ling Li checked on Ren in her room. As expected, Ren was awake and crying. Her eyes were all red and swollen from crying.
"Ren, didn’t I tell you that Shun is stable?" Ling Li remarked.
"Yes, Mom. I just miss him."
"What?! Shun is gone for one night, and you are already like this?! Ren, pull yourself together. Your world cannot revolve around Shun only. And you cannot be all over him." Ling Li did not want to scold her daughter, but she needed to advise her.
"Mom, what should I do?"
"Shun loves you and spoiled you too much, so you ended up like this! But what if he gets tired of your clinging over him constantly?" Ling Li reprimanded Ren.
"Mom, what do you an?"
"Ren, n would also want to have ti for themselves, ti with their friends. Shuns’ life cannot only evolve around you. In the future, Shun will run your business and need to et other people. He would need to travel. You can’t always be by his side tagging along." Ling Li explained.
"But I’m afraid whenever I think of being away from him," Ren said in tears.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I’m afraid he won’t co back," Ren replied.
“....”
"What?!" Ren’s reply dumbfounded Ling Li.
"But Ren, although this fear is real and natural, we must realize that accidents do happen. But we can’t let this fear control our daily lives. Look at you now; instead of living with peace of mind, you are living with this fear.
Let go of this fear and learn to trust Shun. Do you trust Shun?" Ling Li conveyed and asked.
Ren nodded.
"I know you do. Because you love Shun, and he loves you very much. Do you believe he will co back?’
Ren nodded.
"Yes. Right. Because you trust Shun. Now, rest. Do you want to stay with you tonight?"
"No, Mom. I will be fine. Mom, thank you."
"Alright. Good night. I will be in my room if you need ." Ling Li said before leaving Ren’s bedroom.
Early the next day, the four gentlen, Four Eyes, Shun, Fatty, and Chatty, were woken up by heavy footsteps and running from one place to another.
It was four-thirty in the morning. The four gentlen realized they were at the camp and had a nasty hangover from their heavy drinking last night at the party.
Pharsa suddenly blasted their doors wide open.
"Move it! Move it! No free training, even with a hangover here! Grab your clothes! Hit the shower if you don’t want to miss your breakfast!" Pharsa yelled loudly by the door. Looking at her watch, "You have exactly twenty minutes!" She added.
The four gentlen totally forgot about their sleepiness and hangover; they instantly jumped out of their beds, grabbed their uniforms, and fled the room in a breeze to shower.
Pharsa waited for them at the cafeteria with a smirk.
When the four gentlen arrived at the cafeteria, they were astonished.
The cafeteria was massive and had several stations, ’High Protein Diet,’ ’High Carb Diet,’ ’All Vegetarian Diet,’ ’Neuro Science Diet,’ and ’Natural Diet.’
When they looked at the people lining up the ’Neuro Science Diet,’ they were truly dumbfounded to see everyone with an IV attached to each one, and they were handed a little box instead of food.
"...."
"Which station do we go, Chief?" Fatty asked.
"High carbo," Pharsa replied.
Just as she replied, Shi Min arrived. "Oh, co on, Pharsa, let treat them well. Co, follow ." Shim Min announced as he put his arm around Fatty; the rest followed them.
Shi Min led them to the High Protein Diet Station; looking at the excellent array of food, they all already felt hungry.
The five masters filled their trays with a hefty serving of steaks, salmon, tuna, eggs, and cottage cheese; they took their seats with their milk boxes.
This cafeteria shows how generous Ling Li’s family is to their employees. Even the workers in their corporate groups get free breakfast lunches with sumptuous als. Ling Li believes that their staff should be happy and satisfied and treated well so that they can perform excellently.
