Old woman, I think you're getting old and your eyesight is failing you. You recognize everyone.

After hearing this, Grandma Su didn't want to talk to Grandpa Su anymore and turned to leave.

She needs to look in the photo album; the answer should be there.

The Su family has many photo albums. Grandma Su and Aunt Wang searched for a long time before finally finding them.

It was an old black and white photograph.

There are two people in the photo: Grandma Su and her best friend Yan Xiaoling.

She looks a lot like Grandma Yan, whom I met today, as if she were forty years younger.

Grandma Su held up the photo and said, "It looks just like it, so much like it."

This photo is of Yan Xiaoling, the youngest daughter of the Yan family and Grandma Su's best friend. However, not long after this photo was taken, Yan Xiaoling was caught in an avalanche while supporting Tibet and was buried underneath. She never returned.

This became the only photo of Grandma Su and Yan Xiaoling together.

"Aunt Wang, do you think it looks like her?"

Wang Ma picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. It looked so much like the person, especially the eyes, which were exactly the same.

"So, old lady, do you think this Grandma Yan is Miss Yan Xiaoling?"

“I’m not sure. But when I chatted with Grandma Yan today, I found that she was very articulate and didn’t seem like someone with amnesia.”

I'll talk to Mr. Yan first.

Since we've run into this situation, we have no choice but to deal with it.

So, Grandma Su picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Yan Xiaoshu?"

"Who are you."

Do you still remember Yan Xiaoling?

Upon hearing the name, Old Yan gripped the phone tighter. "What do you want? What do you want to do? Why are you mentioning Yan Xiaoling?"

Grandma Su smiled kindly and said, "Xiaoshu, don't be nervous. Do you remember the older sister who gave you candy when you were little?"

Old Yan thought for a long time before he remembered such a person.

He was very mischievous back then. He loved climbing trees, and after falling down, he would cry incessantly. Then a girl gave him a piece of candy, but he refused to eat it. He even vowed to marry that beautiful girl when he grew up. However, fate played a cruel trick on him; before he could even confess his feelings, the girl had already gotten married.

"You are Sister Yan."

Grandma Su's real name is Yan. Her given name is Jiaying.

"Little Tree, it's me."

"Sister Yan, why are you bringing up my sister again? She's been gone for so many years."

"Little Tree, listen to me. Today I met someone who looks a lot like Sister Yan."

After hearing this, Old Yan asked anxiously.

"Sister Yan, where did you meet her?"

“I will tell you where she lives at my house, but you must promise me that you will not come to her house and disturb her life.”

"Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Yan."

After hanging up the phone, Old Yan was deeply troubled. His sister, in her early twenties, had disappeared in an avalanche, a wound that would forever remain in the family's heart. His father, having lost two daughters, was now grieving the loss of his own children. His health suddenly deteriorated, declining day by day, and he ultimately succumbed to his injuries. His mother's worries also grew heavier with each passing day.

Now that there's news about her own older sister, her mother will surely be overjoyed.

But now is not the time to tell her.

Grandma Su sent Grandma Yan's address to Grandpa Yan.

Old Yan went to check on his maternal grandmother's neighborhood, but he didn't dare go to her door. Firstly, the neighborhood was very strictly managed, and secondly, he was afraid of mistaking her for someone else.

Suya would go to see Grandma Yan every day.

One day, when I was with my maternal grandmother, I noticed that it seemed like someone was always following us.

But when I looked back, there was no one there.

then

When Su Ya asked Grandma Yan if anyone suspicious had come to their house recently, Grandma Yan said...

"Ya Ya, I feel like someone is following me lately. Could it be a ghost?"

"Grandma, don't be superstitious. There are no ghosts in this world."

So, Su Ya became cautious.

I specifically asked for leave.

Grandma Yan goes to the vegetable market near the school every day because Su Ya no longer eats in the cafeteria at noon and wants to come and have lunch with her, so she has to cook very delicious food for her every day.

Su Ya waited in a coffee shop across from the gate of Grandma Yan's residential area.

Looking out the window, I can see exactly what's happening on the other side of the residential area.

When Grandma Yan left the residential compound, she noticed a man, around 60 years old, following her. The man was completely covered up, and she wondered what secret he was hiding.

Suya followed to see what the other person was doing.

But the other party only followed and did nothing.

He seemed to be observing Grandma Yan's every move, as if trying to confirm something.

This gave Su Ya a better understanding of the situation.

then

As he watched Grandma Yan enter the residential area and was about to leave...

Suddenly, I was stopped by a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was very pretty and memorable.

She was wearing a black down jacket and a black beret.

And so he stood straight in front of Elder Yan.

“I think we should sit down and talk.”

The girl spoke up, but her tone left no room for refusal.

"Okay, how about we go to the round cafe across the street?"

So the two of them went to the coffee shop where Suya had been before.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Soda water, please."

Me too.

"It seems this young lady knows a lot about health. It's only because she's a young lady like you that drinking coffee is bad for her health."

Suya did not answer.

The man felt quite embarrassed.

Thus, she shed her layers of disguise and revealed her true colors.

If anyone knows him, they will recognize him as Elder Yan, the president of the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Unfortunately, although Su Ya knew traditional Chinese medicine, she had no interest in anything else and therefore did not know this person.

"Young lady, now you believe I have no ill intentions. I just feel that she looks a lot like someone I used to know."

"Old friend?"

"Yes, that's a long story."

"Then let's get to the point."

So Old Yan told the little girl the story about her sister.

After listening, Su Ya remained silent for a while before speaking.

"She is not your sister, Yan Xiaoling."

Why are you so sure?

"Because Grandma Yan did not lose her memory."

Su Ya still remembered that some elderly people in the town had told the story of Grandma Yan. Grandma Yan was a native of Nanlin Town and had never been to other places.

"I can tell you for sure that she is definitely not the Yan Xiaoling you are looking for."

"How can there be two people in the world who look so alike? Can you help me? I want to talk to her in person."

Su Ya knew that if she didn't agree, the other party wouldn't give up and would still disturb Grandma Yan's life.

"Okay, will you come with me?"

Old Yan followed Su Ya into the residential area, took the elevator to the second floor, and Su Ya rang the doorbell. She heard someone coming to the door.

"Ya Ya, why are you back again? Don't you have class this afternoon?"
