It was said that every member of the Long Family was born affectionate. Every member of the Long family had a person imprinted deep in his heart whom he allowed to paint his unique life. As a whole, the members of the Long Family had different kinds of lives, comedies, tragedies, or plain ones.
The setting sun was moving to the west slowly as if it hated to be neglected and wanted to give out all its remaining heat till the end. Dragon Empire Group had bought this seacoast in order to facilitate oil exploration and transportation. It was still a piece of pure and clean beach right now. However, the natural beauty of this place would gradually change in the future. It would be a huge development for mankind, but at the same time, a very sad twist too. Different people might have different views of the same thing. Just like how one might think that love was bitter while the others thought it was sweet.

Brian was sitting alone in the garden-styled cafe of a hotel. The cup of coffee before him had already cooled down. A waiter came to him and asked whether he wanted to replace it with another cup of hot coffee. Seeing that he shook his head slightly, the waiter left.
Brian had been staring at that cup of coffee for some while. Since he had forced Molly to leave two years ago, he had come back to his original lifestyle and stopped drinking milk.
"Beep-"
His cellphone began vibrating on the table and drew him back to the present. He picked up and answered the phone.
"Brother Brian!" a lively voice came through the phone together with the sound created by a car running on uneven ground.
A faint smile instantly made its way to Brian's lips upon recognizing who was on the other line. He asked, "Are you carrying out a task?"
"Hmm,"
Cathy answered and smiled brightly. She was indeed inside a military car right now. Thus, she said, "It will take a long time to complete the task this time. I don't know when will I have another vacation, so I'm calling you to say hi."
"Okay," answered Brian in a plain tone. "Come back to see me when you take a vacation next time."
"I know. I will," responded Cathy, still in a lively voice. "I called my mom just now. She said that my younger sister has been admitted to the Army Aviation Military Academy."
"Yeah, your mother called me earlier about that too," Brian had always been grateful to Cathy. Molly should have been blind all her life if Cathy hadn't donated her eyes to Molly. "Do you need me to get in touch with the person in charge of that academy? You know that I can always do that for your sister, right?" he asked.
"No, you don't have to." Cathy answered while raising her eyebrows. "I believe that my younger sister is capable of doing well. She can do it by herself."
"Cathy, there is only less than two miles before we arrive,"
a middle-aged woman's voice resonated on the background of their call. Cathy responded to it and then told Brian hurriedly, "Brother Brian, I'm about to arrive the area. I will call you again once I take a vacation."
"Okay." Brian answered.
