The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 82 is almost 2 words long.

Hu Xiaohai appeared indifferent, but he was actually quite nervous inside. After all, he had met the original owner's parents so soon, and he was genuinely worried that he would be recognized.

After receiving the reply, the butler left the room, and then a man and a woman dressed in even more luxurious attire entered.

The man was not young, probably around 60 years old, and the woman was also not young, in her 50s.

"Father, Mother." Following the original owner's frail character, Hu Xiaohai lay on the pillow, forcing himself to sit up on the bed and look at the original owner's parents' faces. Then he coughed violently twice to indicate that his body was still very weak.

Hearing the cough, the serious and indifferent expressions on the two parents' faces softened slightly. The original owner's mother, Catherine, sat down on the chair by the bed with heartache, took "Haikal's" hand tenderly, and said, "Why do you suddenly want to go to school? You're not well. What if something happens to you at school?"

“But Mother, it’s not a good idea for me to stay at home all the time,” Hu Xiaohai said weakly. “I’ve suddenly become weaker than my brother, maybe it’s because he’s gone to school while I’ve been staying at home all this time?”

"Besides, I'm getting really bored staying in this room every day." Hu Xiaohai stared blankly at the ceiling, making himself look like he was about to be driven crazy by loneliness.

Upon hearing this, Catherine frowned and looked as if she was about to cry.

Sam, the original owner's father, simply nodded and said, "Indeed, staying in this room all the time and taking medicine every day isn't a good solution for your illness. We've already contacted your original class, and we can send you back to school in a couple of days."

"Okay, thank you, Father, thank you, Mother." Hu Xiaohai nodded emotionally, expressing his deep gratitude for his parents' arrangements.

"You should rest well, we won't bother you anymore. After you finish these medicines, you should take a nap," Sam said, and then left with Catherine.

Seeing that the original owner's parents had left, Hu Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief and then continued to drink the medicine with a bitter expression.

Before she knew it, another week was about to pass. In the past few days, besides attending classes, doing homework, and answering "Haikal's" questions about resuming classes, Lu Renkui spent almost every day making purple peony soup, drinking it with his sisters with syrup, chatting with Evangeline at church, and asking about the red-haired girl.

The red-haired girl's current name is Rhett, and she's been doing quite well at the church these past few days.

Lu Renkui would continue to help Teacher William organize materials and transcribe articles. After finishing the transcription, she would use the money to buy ingredients, keeping half of it and using the other half to buy odds and ends.

Lu Renkui used the money to buy candy and pretty jewelry. He gave the candy to his two younger sisters and the pretty jewelry to Evangeline. If Reed was there, he would also share some candy with him.

There was also preparation for the academy's magic competition—Mr. William said that it seemed no one in the class wanted to go, so he wrote down Borist's name and handed it in first.

After learning this news, Lu Renkui knew that the competition form could not be changed, so he could only resign himself to studying the spellbook to prepare.

Tomorrow is the day of the magic competition, and Lu Renkui received several tickets from Teacher William. Teacher William said that these tickets could be given to friends or relatives so that they could also come and watch the competition.

Lu Renkui thought about it and gave two tickets to his sisters after he got home.

When they went to church that evening, Lu Renkui told Ivangeline about it.

After hearing "Borist" tell the story, Evangeline seemed very eager to go.

However, given her status as a nun, it's unlikely that Evangeline would voluntarily suggest pausing church classes for a day to watch the magic competition.

So Lu Renkui took out the remaining tickets and said to Ivangeline, "If you want to come, you can take these tickets and keep one for yourself. You can give the rest to whoever you want."

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? You should give these to other friends. I might not even be able to leave the church." Evangeline was happy, but still a little hesitant.

"Then I'll keep it as a souvenir," Lu Renkui said with a smile. "After all, my relationships with other people are only so-so."

Upon hearing this, Evangeline felt her heart pounding rapidly in her chest, and she could almost hear it thumping.

Evangeline accepted the tickets that hadn't yet been given out; she felt her cheeks burning, but she was sure it wasn't a feeling of being sick.
