Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 669 My Sister 4

The car stopped, and Yun Si got out with her family.

A refreshing breeze carrying the scents of grass and distant woods swept over her, invigorating her.

Looking at the exquisite scene before her, which far exceeded her expectations of a "picnic," a look of novelty and amazement flashed in her eyes. This was completely different from her previous experience of squatting on a small hill and roasting sweet potatoes with her friends.

"Do you like this place?" Yun Chu walked to her side, her tone unusually relaxed.

"Yes! It's very beautiful." Yun Si nodded vigorously, a faint smile on her face.

"That's good." Yun Chu patted her shoulder. "It's just the two of us today, so relax."

He Shi was the happiest of them all. She directed the servants she brought (mainly to handle the grill and prepare the complicated ingredients) to set out the tableware and drinks, while she busied herself taking out the snacks and salads she had prepared in advance from the exquisite picnic basket.

"Sisi, Jiji, hurry, this is freshly squeezed juice, drink it while it's fresh. Chuchu, do you want coffee or tea?"

"Mom, don't bother, I'll do it." Yun Ji appeared behind He Shi without her noticing, and took the juice jug from her hand with a bright smile.

He was dressed in casual sportswear, without makeup but looking energetic, completely shedding his superstar aura, just a younger brother eager to go home. "Wow, there's also Mom's specialty blueberry tart! I'm going to eat a lot of them."

He took an exaggerated sniff, which made He Shi laugh and pat him on the shoulder.

Yun Chu rolled up her sleeves and walked to the barbecue grill. "Leave the main dish for lunch to me."

"Really?" Yun Si asked in surprise, unable to imagine her elder sister flipping meat skewers in front of the grill.

“Of course,” Yun Ji put his arm around Yun Si’s shoulder and said with a grin, “Don’t let Chu Jie’s domineering CEO demeanor fool you, her chicken wings are absolutely amazing! They can’t compare to those Michelin-starred restaurants. It’s a secret sauce, a unique skill!”

"Stop being so glib." Yun Chu glanced at him, but a smile played on her lips as she skillfully placed the marinated steaks, shrimp, and various vegetables onto the blazing charcoal fire.

A sizzling sound accompanied by an enticing aroma instantly rose up.

Yun Guohua, unusually, put aside his seriousness today, holding a small charcoal tongs and helping his daughter watch the fire, occasionally exchanging a few words in low voice about their experience in controlling the charcoal fire.

The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

Yun Ji was the most lively person, pulling Yun Si to take photos and check in, and showing her funny behind-the-scenes clips from filming her drama on her phone.

He Shi sat on the picnic mat, took out her newly bought embroidery tools, and patiently taught Yun Si the simplest way to embroider daisies. The mother and daughter touched heads and spoke softly.

Yun Si was initially a little reserved, but in this stress-free family atmosphere, her cautiousness gradually melted away.

When Yun Ji handed her a skewer of golden-brown, glistening honey-glazed chicken wings, she took it and carefully blew on it.

Yun Ji said mischievously, "Quickly try Sister Chu's 'unique skill' and see if Brother Ji is just bragging."

Yun Si took a bite. The outer layer was crispy and fragrant, while the inside was tender and juicy. The rich sauce had just the right amount of spiciness, making her eyes light up with delight. "...Delicious!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

Yun Chu happened to be carrying a freshly grilled plate of beef skewers over when she heard Yun Si's praise, and her satisfaction deepened. She sat down and handed Yun Si a tissue. "Eat slowly, there's still plenty left." Her words were brief, but filled with gentle concern.

Yun Guohua raised his juice glass. "Come on, for our family." There were no fancy toasts, but his simple words carried special weight in the sunlight and the aroma of food.

The glasses clinked gently, the crisp sound like a footnote to happiness.

Yun Si held the juice glass, the cool glass making her feel slightly more awake.

She looked around: her older sister, focused on grilling meat with a relaxed expression; her mother, smiling gently as she taught her embroidery; her father, setting aside his authority and clumsily adding firewood; and her radiant, yet now playful, top-tier brother, just to make her happy…

There was no scheming or trepidation, only warm sunshine, the aroma of food, and the relaxed laughter of family.

This is not a show, nor is it compensation; it is how life should be—steadily supported and wrapped in pure love.

Looking at her sister's profile, flushed slightly by the heat but unusually focused, by the charcoal fire, Yun Si felt a weight settle down in her heart, a feeling that had been hanging there for a long time.

She picked up her glass and quietly took a sip of juice. So sweet. Just like the feeling welling up in her heart right now.

It turns out that having a meal with family in the sunshine and feeling the breeze is such a wonderful thing.

On this vast meadow, there is only the sound of the wind, the soft crackling of the charcoal fire, and the relaxed, contented whispers of family members.

Yun Si sat quietly, the sunlight warming her face. She picked up a cherry tomato that He Shi had washed and placed in the wicker basket, and put it in her mouth, the sweet and sour juice bursting on her tongue.

At this moment, surrounded by sunshine, food, and family, she suddenly felt that those vague and unattainable "happiness" were seeping into her life little by little through this lazy afternoon, becoming real and tangible.

In the blink of an eye, time flies like sunlight dancing through our fingers, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Yun Si is no longer the timid and cautious girl who stepped into the Yun family.

Her experience of successfully completing self-study exams and entering university has given her a calmer confidence, adding an independent radiance to her brows, and truly making her an indispensable member of the family.

As the summer heat, carrying with it a sense of freedom, arrives, the Yun family also welcomes a special "project"—top star Yun Ji is to record an observational reality show called "Celebrity Daily Life," which requires him to delve into his family life.

Upon learning that the production team wanted to interview her family, Yunji immediately sought everyone's opinions.

"Mom and Dad, Sisi," he put down his chopsticks at the dinner table, his tone questioning, "a TV show wants to film some real-life moments and will be coming to our house. They might need everyone to appear on camera, which could be a bit troublesome..."

“It’s just a job, what’s so troublesome?” He Shi agreed with a smile. “The house is just like it is, just take the pictures.”

Yun Guohua nodded calmly, his words as concise as ever: "Okay."

Yun Si raised her head, a natural smile curving her lips: "Yes, I'm fine. Brother, is there anything I need to do?"

After a year of living together day and night, she had long since become accustomed to the presence of her "celebrity brother," and that sense of distance had long been replaced by daily banter and playful arguments.

Yun Chu elegantly dabbed her lips with a tissue, her gaze sweeping over everyone: "My company is busy, so time is hard to guarantee. We'll just have to see how things go. However," she looked at Yun Ji, her tone carrying the special admonition of an older sister, "protect your family's privacy, don't let anyone who shouldn't be there appear, and ensure the professionalism of your staff."

"Don't worry, sister, I've got the contract under control!" Yun Ji immediately assured her, feeling a warm glow inside.
