"good!"

"Good children!" Lan Qingyue smiled and patted the children's faces.

"Big boss..."

"How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"

Lan Qingyue: "..."

When am I in a bad mood?

How come I didn't know that!

"I'm fine, I just came to see the children here." Lan Qingyue looked up at the tree in front of her, casting a shadow under the direct sunlight.

...

After hanging up the phone, Lan Qingyue's smile froze when she saw the tall figure standing behind her.

Lan Qingyue: "..."

You have a lot of phone bills, right?

Why make a phone call when we're so close?

"Why don't you go in and play with the children?" Qi Yu asked as he walked towards them.

"Why are you here?" Lan Qingyue replied, seemingly ignoring the question.

Qi Yu noticed Lan Qingyue's unease and suddenly a sly look appeared on his face. "I've come to see you!"

"You..." Lan Qingyue was speechless. What was going on? Had Qi Yu lost his mind or taken the wrong medicine today?

How could I say something like that to her?

Didn't we already suspect her?

Is this another test?

"The big boss is really joking."

"I never joke." As Qi Yu turned around, his rugged face was bathed in the brilliant sunlight, making him appear incomparably holy.

Lan Qingyue glared fiercely at Qi Yu's back with her bright eyes, then walked away, wanting to avoid seeing him and getting annoyed.

On the cobblestone path lined with trees on both sides, two figures, one in front of the other, drew closer and closer until they overlapped into a straight line.

...

"Come in."

Hearing permission from the person inside, Lan Qingyue gently pushed the door open and went in. Liu Qingqing was sitting at her desk looking at documents, occasionally raising her hand to lift her eyes that were hanging down on her nose.

"Dean Mama!"

"Qingyue, you're here. Please have a seat." Liu Qingqing stopped her work and poured Lan Qingyue a glass of water.

“Dean, I’ve come today to say goodbye,” Lan Qingyue said, her lips moving as she spoke.

"Leaving so soon? Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"

"No, I've been at peace here these past few days, but now it's time for me to leave."

She couldn't enjoy the peace forever; this peace couldn't allow her to return to her own world.

Humans are highly evolved animals with emotions. When people spend a lot of time together, they will develop more or less feelings. But she knew that it wasn't real. She preferred to treat it as a dream, a dream in space.

"I don't know when I'll be back after this farewell."

Maybe soon, maybe a long time, or perhaps, it will never come again.

She sympathized with those children, and admired Liu Qingqing, but they weren't what she wanted most. What she longed for most was simply to go home.

Lan Qingyue's grip on the bag tightened and loosened repeatedly before she finally opened it with a determined look, took something out, and placed it on the table.

Liu Qingqing had kept that item for several years, along with other children's keepsakes. She knew each and every one of them very well.

The thing on the table is that small wooden box.

She looked up at the child she loved, hesitated to speak, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

Opening the small wooden box, the blue diamond necklace lying inside confirmed her suspicions: she had no intention of searching for her family or seeking the truth.

Perhaps she is doing well now, with a loving father, a lovely daughter, and a well-paying career that can support her life. That's enough.
