During the summer vacation, Wang Yueming did not go home but chose to stay in Jiangcheng. Zhang Kai also did not go home because he had no home to return to. The two of them left early and returned late, but their situations were completely different. Wang Yueming did not go home because he did not want to face his parents, and his parents also did not want to face him. Ever since he insisted on applying to a school in Jiangcheng, his relationship with his parents had completely soured. His father even severed their father-son relationship when he came to Jiangcheng.
This state of affairs lasted for nearly half a month until Wang Yueming's birthday. Wang Yueming's birthday is July 12, which corresponds to the 16th day of the sixth lunar month. That noon, Zhang Kai bought a cake, and the two celebrated together. When making a wish, Wang Yueming wished for Li Ruyue to be safe and happy and to meet him soon. When blowing out the candles, Zhang Kai asked what wish he made, but Wang Yueming smiled and said nothing.
After the birthday celebration, Wang Yueming became busy preparing for a competition at the library. However, one afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Zhang Kai. Zhang Kai told him that he was injured and urged him to hurry to the hospital. When Wang Yueming arrived at the hospital, Zhang Kai was in the treatment room tending to his wound.
"What happened?" Wang Yueming asked.
"Just a little accident," Zhang Kai replied. "I got hit in the eye by a drone."
Wang Yueming frowned. "How could you get hit in the eye by a drone?"
"Don't ask," Zhang Kai waved his hand dismissively. "Just my luck."
Wang Yueming looked at his eye. "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said there's nothing serious," Zhang Kai said, "I just need to rest for a few days."
Wang Yueming nodded, "Then you shouldn't go out these days. Just rest here."
"I can't," Zhang Kai replied, "I still have to go back to class."
"How can you attend class when you're like this?"
"It's fine," Zhang Kai said, "I can teach even with one eye."
"..."
"Alright," Zhang Kai stood up, "I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute," Wang Yueming grabbed him, "I'll go in your place."
"You?" Zhang Kai looked at him, "Can you handle it?"
"Why can't I?" Wang Yueming said, "Don't forget, I'm the Top Scholar."
Zhang Kai thought for a moment, "Okay then, I'll leave it to you."
"Sure," Wang Yueming said, "You just focus on recovering."

Zhang Kai's teaching location was at a Tutoring Center in a residential area. Wang Yueming followed the address given by Zhang Kai and found the place. He pushed the door open and discovered there was only one child inside.
"You are...?" the child looked at him, "Teacher Zhang?"
"No," Wang Yueming said, "I'm here to teach you in his place."
"Oh," the child nodded, "Then follow me."
Wang Yueming followed the child to his home. The child opened the door and said, "Come in."
Wang Yueming walked inside, and the child added, "You can sit in the living room for a bit while I get some water."
"Okay."
Wang Yueming walked into the living room and noticed a book on the sofa. He picked it up casually; it was a novel.
He flipped through the pages; it was Yu Hua's "To Live." He recalled a phrase he had seen online before—nothing is more important than being alive. As he was reading, the child came over with a glass of water. "Teacher, drink some water."
"Thank you," Wang Yueming said as he took the cup. "What’s your name?"
"Li Xiaoxing."
"Li Xiaoxing," Wang Yueming nodded, "that's a lovely name."
"Is it?" Li Xiaoxing smiled, "I think so too."
Wang Yueming looked at him; his face was beaming with joy, looking very happy. He thought that if Li Ruyue were here, she would probably be very happy too. Just then, he suddenly heard Li Xiaoxing shout, "Mom!"
Wang Yueming turned around and saw a woman walking out from the bedroom.
"Mom," Li Xiaoxing said, "the teacher is here."
The woman looked at Wang Yueming and paused for a moment. "You are..."
"Hello, Auntie," Wang Yueming stood up, "I’m here to teach Li Xiaoxing in place of Teacher Zhang."
"Oh," the woman nodded, "thank you for your trouble."
"It’s no trouble," Wang Yueming replied, "it's what I should do."
"Then you two go ahead with the class," the woman said, "I'll go wash some fruit for you."
"Okay," Wang Yueming said, "thank you."
The woman smiled and turned to leave. Wang Yueming watched her back, feeling like he had seen her somewhere before but couldn't quite remember where.
"Teacher Zhang," Li Xiaoxing called him, "let's get started."
"Alright," Wang Yueming pulled his thoughts back, "let's begin."
