In the backyard

The sun was shining brightly.

Feng Shizhen, with someone holding an umbrella and fanning her, walked ahead and said casually, "Sister-in-law, you stay in your room all day and never come out for a walk. People who don't know the situation might think we're bullying you."

Ran Ruantong's face was flushed red from the sunlight.

She was walking so fast that her clothes were soaked with sweat and she was panting heavily.

"By the way, I heard that my brother stayed overnight at your place one day?"

"……No."

That night, Feng Shijie only stayed for a short while before leaving in a hurry.

Ran Ruantong licked her slightly pale lips; she wanted to drink water more than Feng Shijie.

I'm so thirsty!

But clearly, Feng Shizhen wouldn't care about her needs.

Hearing that Ran Ruantong still hadn't shared a room with Feng Shijie, her eyes revealed disdain and contempt.

This kind of person from a humble background doesn't deserve to be my sister-in-law at all.

Then they encountered a group of people facing them head-on, their faces beaming with ingratiating smiles. When Feng Shizhen saw the young man surrounded by them, his own face broke into an ingratiating smile, "Uncle!"

The man stopped.

When Ran Ruantong saw the man's face, her hands and feet turned cold—this was the kind person who had taken her back to her room and stayed with her when she was most vulnerable!

She hesitated, wondering whether she should go up and say hello.

He glanced at her indifferently and walked away coldly, as if he didn't know her.

Ran Ruantong stood there stunned, then silently lowered her head.

Perhaps...

She has no friends at all.

On the other side

Feng Shizhen exclaimed excitedly, as if she were a lovesick fan.

"Ahhh, I never expected to run into my uncle here! Doesn't he usually prefer to stay alone at the Imperial Pool?!"
