Wen Junrong absolutely despised those relatives. They leeched off their family but never knew their place. Did they really think his brother was some softhearted pushover?

"You seem pretty free," Wen Xiuyan said without looking up.

Wen Junrong didn't catch the underlying meaning and even scratched his cheek. "Not really. It's just school break."

What else was a college student supposed to do during vacation?

Wen Xiuyan put down his pen and finally looked at him. "Good. The company is short-staffed. You're starting work tomorrow."

Wen Junrong looked at him in disbelief and immediately started whining. "I don't wanna go!"

"You're not a kid anymore. It's time you started contributing to the family," Wen Xiuyan said, his voice firm. "Or do you really plan to just coast through life forever?"

Wen Junrong pouted. "It's not like I wanna do this."

Wen Xiuyan was reasonable enough. "Then what do you want to do?"

Wen Junrong: "..." Does doing nothing count?

Wen Xiuyan's expression darkened. "You're going to the company tomorrow."

Seeing that his brother was serious, Wen Junrong shrank back and gave up on arguing. He muttered under his breath, "Just you wait. I'm gonna complain to Master Jiang."

Why go to Master Jiang? Well, if he complained to his mom, she'd definitely take his brother's side. But this was the perfect excuse to go see his idol!

Wen Xiuyan paused for a moment when he heard that.

He put down his pen, glanced at the time, then clicked open a certain software on his computer.

At the same time, Jiang Yiqing started livestreaming.

Lately, there had been quite a lot of people requesting to connect, and the queue in the background had even started piling up.

As soon as Jiang Yiqing went live, he connected with the first person in line.

Guang Xin had been anxiously waiting for Jiang Yiqing to start his stream. He had already transferred the divination fee yesterday, but Jiang Yiqing only went live at fixed times and didn't even check his messages outside of that.

Since the payment hadn't been accepted yet, Guang Xin felt uneasy. Even though he knew exactly when Jiang Yiqing would go live, he still couldn't sit still.

It was almost nighttime already!

Thankfully, the moment the time came, Jiang Yiqing started the stream, catching Guang Xin so off guard that he almost didn't react in time.

Jiang Yiqing looked at the young man on the other side of the screen. The guy had massive dark circles under his eyes and a tired expression, looking like he hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.

"Alright, tell me, what's been bothering you?" Jiang Yiqing didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

Hearing that, Guang Xin let out a sigh and said sorrowfully, "I've been dreaming about my grandpa a lot lately."

When Guang Xin was little, he had always lived with his grandparents. Later, when he started school, he didn't stay with them anymore, but he still went back every winter and summer break.

Because of that, he had always been very close to his grandparents.

But last year, his grandpa was diagnosed with cancer. It was already in the late stages, and within just a few months, he was gone.

Guang Xin had grieved for a long time. After his grandpa passed, his grandma couldn't live alone in the countryside—there was no one to take care of her.

So, his family brought her to live with them.

After more than half a year, Guang Xin had finally started to move on. But about a month ago, he started having frequent dreams about his grandpa.

At first, his grandpa would be crying in his dreams, and worse, he looked bruised all over, as if he had been beaten up. That whole night, Guang Xin kept asking his grandpa what had happened.

But his grandpa never answered.

The next morning, when Guang Xin thought back to the dream, he was surprised by how clearly he remembered it. He didn't think too much of it, assuming it was just because he missed his grandpa.

But then it happened the next night. And the night after that... It went on for a whole week. Every single night, he would dream of his grandpa crying.

Because of that, he hadn't been sleeping well at all.

After a full week of this, Guang Xin couldn't ignore it anymore. He told his dad about it.

His dad frowned when he heard it, smoking a cigarette in silence for a while before saying, "Do you think your grandpa misses you? Or maybe he's short on money down there? How about this—you take a few days off work, and we'll go burn some joss paper for him. Let him see you, too."

Guang Xin thought his dad had a point. His grandpa had always doted on him when he was alive, so maybe he just missed him.

Thinking that, Guang Xin took the day off work and went back to their hometown with his dad to burn some paper offerings for his grandpa.

Sure enough, after that, the dreams stopped. Days passed peacefully—until suddenly, one night, he dreamed of his grandpa again.

This time, not only was his grandpa crying, but he was covered in bruises like before, looking like he had been beaten up.

And then things got even weirder—this time, it wasn't just him. His dad had the same dream too.

Except his dad had it worse—his grandpa actually beat him up in the dream. And when he woke up the next day, his body was covered in bruises.

"Maybe you just accidentally bumped into something?" Guang Xin still leaned towards science and didn't really believe his grandpa had actually hit his dad.

But then his dad rolled up his sleeve to show the bruises—there was even a clear handprint.

After discussing it as a family, they decided to bring in someone to figure out what was really going on.

In the end, they found someone who understood feng shui to check out his grandpa's grave. The expert took one look and said the location was all wrong—the grave needed to be moved.

What else could they do? They couldn't just let his grandpa keep crying forever. So, they went ahead and relocated the grave.

After the relocation, Guang Xin stopped dreaming about his grandpa for a while. But just like last time, only a few days passed before his grandpa appeared in his dreams again—still covered in bruises, crying. This time, the injuries looked even worse than before.

And his dad? No surprise there—he got beaten up in his dream again.

Since his grandpa kept crying in his dreams every night, Guang Xin had barely gotten any rest lately. He was completely out of options. Just when he was at his wit's end, he heard that Jiang Yiqing was really skilled, so he decided to seek his help.
