"I……"

Cheng Shanshan also wanted to know how Huo Mingchen had managed to send her here.

After all, she was able to come here in her previous life by connecting people with each other as ropes, which was a drain on both manpower and resources.

So even though she knew it would be very peaceful here, she never really planned to come, but she ended up coming anyway.

The other person didn't seem to want Cheng Shanshan's answer. Instead, she leaned closer and examined her carefully before asking, "The rope is broken. Are you a fairy, sister?" As she spoke, she blinked hard, as if to make sure it wasn't her imagination.

"..."

Cheng Shanshan was charmed by the other person's actions, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up slightly: "What's your name?"

"Me?"

When asked about his life, the man proudly straightened his back and said, "I'm the sixth child in my family, so everyone calls me Liu Liu."

"Six six."

Cheng Shanshan gracefully cupped her hands in greeting.

Before she could continue speaking, Liu Liu unexpectedly grabbed her hand warmly and said, "Okay, now that we know each other's names, we're friends. Come on, let me treat you to something delicious."

Knowing someone's name means we're friends?

Cheng Shanshan was somewhat at a loss for words regarding Liu Liu's unusual enthusiasm.

Key point 66 didn't give her any right to refuse, and pulled her hand and ran all the way into Ping An City.

This place was completely different from the desolation outside. The street vendors with various stalls and pedestrians stopping to watch made Cheng Shanshan feel as if she were in another world.

Almost everyone who saw Liu Liu greeted her along the way: "Liu Liu, where have you been playing again?"

Liu Liu: "Just wandering around aimlessly."

The other person smiled and said, "Liu Liu, would you like a piece of my freshly baked osmanthus cake?"

"Okay, okay."

Liu Liu didn't stand on ceremony; she not only took one for herself but also gave one to Cheng Shanshan.

Cheng Shanshan was a little embarrassed to take it: "Um..."

"Hey, eat up." Liu Liu shoved a hot osmanthus cake into her hand: "Let me tell you, my Uncle Li's osmanthus cake is the best."

Faced with this situation, Cheng Shanshan had no choice but to look at Uncle Li and ask, "Could you please give me a few pieces?" She had saved up some loose change, which, although not much, was enough to buy a cake.

Uncle Li was very kind: "Liu Liu's friends don't accept money, so you can eat without worry."

"That's right!"

Liu Liu continued to pull Cheng Shanshan forward.

This city of peace is not actually very large. Because of its unique location, it has not suffered much damage.

As they walked, Liu Liu introduced various things to her: "Sister, we have delicious food and fun things to do here, but you should be careful about the men."

Cheng Shanshan was a little puzzled: "Paying attention to men?"

"yes."

Liu Liu pouted.

Her rosy cheeks showed her dissatisfaction: "Men are all the same!"

"..."

These words sound like someone who has been hurt.

As the two were talking, two tall men who looked exactly alike suddenly walked towards them.

One of them had an extremely cold expression, while the other's eyes and brows were filled with intense anger: "You brat, all you do is run around all day, you're really too wild!"

"Yeah, I'll lock you up right now!" the angry man said, grabbing Liu Liu's ear as he spoke, his face filled with intense rage.

Liu Liu screamed in pain.

Seeing this, Cheng Shanshan didn't say a word and kicked him: "Do you know what it means to be a gentleman and not to use your fists?"

"...Who are you?" The angry man was clearly extremely dissatisfied after being kicked: "Liu Liu, where did you bring this girl back from?"

After Liu Liu broke free from his hand, she quickly hid behind Cheng Shanshan: "This is my newly recognized older sister, she's a thousand times better than you!"

"Six six!"

The cold-faced man sternly rebuked, "How dare you bring people into the city so casually?"

The angry man put his hands on his hips and said, "Yeah! You brat, you're getting better and better at causing trouble."

"Cough cough."

Liu Liu coughed lightly.

His attitude immediately softened: "Brother, this lady came by herself. I thought she was pretty and wanted to bring her home to be your wife."

Cold-faced man: "..."

Cheng Shanshan: "???"

I thought she was a warm and friendly girl, but it turns out she was a "bandit on the way"?

She was both amused and exasperated by the situation: "Liu Liu, we agreed to be friends, but you're trying to trick me?"

"I'm not trying to trick you." Liu Liu blushed and took Cheng Shanshan's hand, putting on an innocent and pitiful look: "Sister, let me tell you, although my eldest brother looks the same as my second brother, he is much better looking than my second brother. If you don't believe me, take a good look. This one who looks like a frizzy chicken is my second brother Ye Xi, and the one next to him is my eldest brother Ye Dong."

Enraged, Ye Xi instantly exploded: "Liu Liu, you brat!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ye Dong coldly rebuked them, "Alright, stop it."

Cheng Shanshan looked over and found that although the two had the same facial features, their auras were completely different.

When Ye Dong looked at Cheng Shanshan, his gaze was full of scrutiny: "Answer me first, how did you get here?"

Cheng Shanshan didn't try to come up with any other reasons, but told the truth: "I woke up and found myself here, and I didn't know how I got here."

Ye Xi snorted coldly at these words: "Just because you don't know doesn't mean you're welcome. Our Ping'an City doesn't welcome outsiders like you with unknown origins."

"She's not some unknown person." Liu Liu quickly stepped in front of Cheng Shanshan, then put her hands on her hips in a protective stance: "This is our sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

"Six six!"

Ye Dong glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Liu immediately shut her mouth obediently, and Ye Xi, though dissatisfied, didn't say anything.

At this moment, Ye Dong looked at Cheng Shanshan and said, "You look like you have nowhere to go. Why don't you come home with us? I happen to have some questions for you."

"good."

Cheng Shanshan responded.

She didn't dislike any of these three people.

So she didn't object and went home with them. But on the way, she repeatedly emphasized to Liu Liu, "Liu Liu, don't talk nonsense. I'm not your sister-in-law."

"Oh dear, didn't you take a liking to my older brother?" Liu Liu sighed with regret, glancing at Ye Dong's expressionless face. "Poor older brother, is he destined to be an orphan?"

"..."

What could Cheng Shanshan say?

All I could do was adjust my attitude: "Really, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, okay."

Liu Liu chose to keep quiet.

But her silence was short-lived; the moment she stepped into her own house, she shouted, "I've found a wife for my eldest brother!"
