The Way Home - Episode 3

He Jiashu felt conflicted as his phone rang, but he ignored the calls. At that moment, Long Ge arrived and questioned why Jiashu seemed different today. He reminded Jiashu that he had returned to settle his aunt’s account, yet he was now taking on so many additional tasks. Hearing Jiashu talk about transferring inheritance and other matters, Long Ge was startled, worrying something serious was happening. However, Jiashu casually explained that he just wanted to distribute the inheritance and leave to explore the world on his own.

Lin Junfeng was worried about Jiashu and went to the barbershop to inquire if the He family had recently received any visitors. When he learned there were none, his concern about Jiashu’s whereabouts deepened. Long Ge felt that Jiashu’s behavior toward Jiahao was excessive, as they were brothers and didn’t need to escalate their conflict. However, Jiashu insisted that the family was at fault in the first place and saw no issue with how things had turned out.

Jiashu continued to reject phone calls, which Long Ge silently observed without commenting. Meanwhile, Jiahao returned home, where his mother expressed care and concern for him. Feeling like a failure for disappointing her, Jiahao was comforted by his mother, who said she didn’t expect her children to achieve greatness, only that they grow up safe and healthy, and urged him not to hold grudges against his father.

Jiahao intended to check his phone but saw a message from his teacher asking about his well-being. He replied that he was fine but later sent another message seeking advice. Jiahao asked the teacher how to make someone forgive him after upsetting them. The teacher advised him to sincerely apologize and let the other person feel his genuineness.

Long Ge kept urging Jiashu to let go of his grudge, reasoning that Jiahao, out of fear, wouldn’t come back. However, just as they finished discussing, Jiahao appeared, surprising Long Ge, who admired Jiahao’s determination. Long Ge even joked that Jiahao had chosen the perfect coach in him, though Jiashu mocked Long Ge, questioning how someone so incompetent could train others.

Seeing his brother, Jiahao felt nervous. Meanwhile, Lin Junfeng finally got through to Jiashu’s phone, only to have the call ruthlessly cut off again. During the training, Long Ge realized Jiahao was far from prepared, lacking strength and stamina. Despite his shortcomings, Jiahao persevered, and Long Ge patiently guided him through the exercises, though he started to feel that training Jiahao was more of a punishment for himself.

After training, everyone gathered for lunch. Jiahao eagerly served food to his brother, but Jiashu kept rejecting his efforts. Hurt but undeterred, Jiahao continued trying to engage his brother in conversation, though Jiashu pretended not to notice.

Jiahao declared to Jiashu that he would prove the past could be left behind. With this resolve, Jiahao trained daily, gradually improving his physical fitness. Jiashu secretly monitored his progress, asking Long Ge to assist without revealing his concern. Despite his reluctance to show support openly, Jiashu couldn’t ignore his brother’s efforts.

During one session, Jiahao attempted a challenging exercise and found himself unable to complete it. Jiashu quickly stepped in to help, scolding Jiahao for overexerting himself. He even lashed out at Chen Long’an in frustration, though Long Ge understood that Jiashu’s anger stemmed from worry about his brother and didn’t take it personally. Jiashu viewed Jiahao as stubborn and thought his younger brother’s determination, from childhood to now, often led to unnecessary trouble.
