Before leaving, Zhang Lan took away the evidence that she could not provide in court from Qin Suisui.

This piece of evidence is quite substantial; it was downloaded from the hotel's surveillance footage by Qin Suisui through various means.

Zhang Lan felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow it down.

The thought that those two scoundrels had secretly manipulated things right under her nose made her furious.

Since the dead cannot take revenge, the living must bear more of the burdens for them.

That bastard He Jiang got off easy!

Looking at Zhang Lan's angry back, Qin Suisui suddenly felt a little disheartened.

She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking into the distance at the location of Senior Brother Huo's office building.

She couldn't help but wonder if one day in the future, she and her senior brother Huo would become a pair of resentful lovers who hated each other, just like Zhang Lan and He Jiang.

The two would be forced to stick together and act out a facade for each other's benefit. She probably couldn't endure that kind of oppressive life for even a day.

"Won't!"

Su Yue spoke with certainty, linking arms with Qin Suisui as they walked along the food street behind Aurora University.

She was holding a skewer of lamb, her mouth stuffed full, and talking as she ate.

“Zhang Lan and He Jiang’s marriage was a family alliance. Their interests were aligned, so they had no feelings for each other when they got married, let alone after marriage.”

“I’ve heard my mother talk about Zhang Lan before, saying that she has always been unwilling to have children. Anyway, I think there are problems with both of them.”

She gave Qin Suisui a sidelong glance.

"How could you compare Senior Brother Huo to that couple? It's a complete insult to your and Senior Brother Huo's character!"

Are they comparable?

After being ridiculed by Su Yue, Qin Suisui thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense, so she stopped dwelling on her unease.

After seeing Zhang Lan off in the afternoon, she was in no mood to continue working and made an appointment with Su Yue to have some barbecue on the back street of the university.

She had the parking card Professor Ji had given her in her car, so she parked it directly on the Aurora University campus.

I am now in Aurora Back Street.

Amidst the noisy and bustling atmosphere of the smoky feast, Qin Suisui suddenly calmed down.

The worries I had just felt gradually dissipated.

Su Yue looked at her with surprise: "That's really rare, Qin Suisui, what made you decide to go back to the back street for some barbecue?"

"I suddenly felt like coming!"

Everywhere Qin Suisui looked, there were young, energetic, and vibrant college students, which even touched her heart.

Her voice was light and cheerful.

"Yueyue, is the osmanthus wine shop run by that old couple on the back street still there?"

"They should be here!"

Su Yue stopped chewing, tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly said loudly.

"Yes, I remember now. At the end of last year, Nan from our department went there to check in."

Qin Suisui's eyes widened slightly: "Brother Nan? Gu Nan?"

"Yes, it's that tomboy Nan-ge!"

Su Yue felt happy just thinking about her.

"Sui Sui, I'm going to tell you something you'd never imagine!"

"What's up?"

Qin Suisui pulled Su Yue to a place where they could push a cart.

"Boss, give me two servings of baked flatbread."

"Nan-ge got married!"

Su Yue's face showed amazement: "And her husband is quite handsome!"

She took the baked bun Qin Suisui handed her, shaking her head as she walked away.

"Who would have thought that Nan would be the first to get married in our year? It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others!"

She didn't even have a dream goal.

"That's really unexpected!"

Even Qin Suisui was amazed when she heard the news.

"Right!"

Qin Suisui and Su Yue strolled along the food street behind the university. Bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, they felt a long-lost sense of ease.

When they arrived at the osmanthus wine shop, they were so full they couldn't eat anymore.

"Hey! Students, it's been so long since you've been here!"

The old man looked closely, frowning as he tried to recall the familiar face.

She called out to herself.

"Honey, two extra-large servings of osmanthus wine, please."

"Hey, here I am."

The old woman finally remembered, and said with a smile as she tidied the table.

"I remember there were two other girls. The four of you were always inseparable. How did those two end up together?"

"Grandma, you have such a good memory!"

Su Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"They live in the north of the city, so they have fewer and fewer opportunities to come to Huating."

"That's a real shame."

“I remember back then, the four of you were always together wherever you went, but now you've all gone your separate ways.”

A loving smile appeared on the old lady's face, and her eyes held a look of reminiscence as she looked at the two of them.

Are you two dating?

"Grandma, I didn't. She's dating someone, and you might know her boyfriend!"

Su Yue answered quickly, maintaining an unwavering expression.

At this moment, the old man brought over two bowls of osmanthus wine and placed them in front of them.

Looking at the large bowl filled to the brim in front of her, Qin Suisui couldn't help but rub her stomach.

At this time, it's not yet time for students to come out for dinner in the backstreet.

There weren't many customers in the shop, and the old lady, finding the conversation interesting, simply sat down next to them.

"I remember, I remember this girl's boyfriend, wasn't he that tall, thin, fair-skinned male classmate?"

As soon as the old lady spoke, Su Yue couldn't help but stick out her tongue and quickly denied it.

"Grandma, it's not him, it's not him, you're mistaken!"

"Oh, did I remember wrong? That can't be."

The old lady quickly looked at Qin Suisui and apologized, "Young lady, I'm so sorry, I'm old and my memory isn't good, please don't blame me!"

"It's alright, Grandma!"

Qin Suisui smiled faintly and glanced at Su Yue.

As the three were talking, someone else came into the shop, and the old lady quickly got up and went over to greet them.

Looking at the students coming in in twos and threes, Su Yue couldn't help but sigh.

I really miss my school days!

"You can definitely keep going!"

Qin Suisui sipped the osmanthus wine, her mouth filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus. If she hadn't eaten so much earlier, she could have finished the whole bowl.

"Can those be the same?"

Su Yue pouted, hummed a few times, and then lowered her head to sip her drink.

Qin Suisui looked at the osmanthus wine in her bowl, which she hadn't drunk much of, and felt a little worried.

The old lady specifically told them to serve extra, because it wouldn't be right if they didn't finish it.

Just as I was feeling annoyed, my phone rang in my bag.

She took her phone out of her bag and looked at the display: Senior Brother Huo!

Su Yue peeked out and clicked her tongue in disapproval.

"Senior Brother Huo is really pushing me hard!"

Qin Suisui glanced at her with a smile and answered the call.

"Hey~..."

She said a few words briefly and then hung up the phone.

She accepted Su Yue's teasing smile with a calm expression.

"He'll come pick me up later, and we'll take you home then."

Su Yue: "Hey, who is he?"

Qin Suisui glanced at her sideways and chuckled.

Is it fun to ask a question you already know the answer to?

"Of course it's fun!"
