Even after getting into the car, Yu Mingxue was still in a daze from that kiss.

The driver in the front seat asked, "Miss, are you going home?"

Wen Shuqiao fastened her seatbelt and looked at Yu Mingxue.

Yu Mingxue then gave a detailed address. After the driver searched and confirmed the location, he raised the partition inside the car.

The rear seats have been transformed into a separate small space.

Yu Mingxue looked at Wen Shuqiao and met his eyes: "Why are you looking at me?"

Wen Shuqiao replied, "I just didn't expect that even after being abroad for so long, you would still remember the address so clearly."

She had just said that she and Wen Zhixia were just ordinary college classmates and roommates.

Yu Mingxue clearly remembered what she had just said, and she said, "What does my good memory have to do with you?"

Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement, accepting her statement: "Yes, I think so too."

Even though it was just normal talk, Yu Mingxue felt like she was being sarcastic. Sure enough, neither Wen Zhixia nor Wen Shuqiao was likable!

Oh, and there's Wen Zhixia's son, Cancan, a strange relative!

Yu Mingxue asked, "Does Cancan often show affection to people like this?"

Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "No, he's actually quite shy."

Shy? I didn't see it.

Wen Shuqiao said, "After you kissed him yesterday, he was shy for quite a while."

Yu Mingxue pursed her red lips. Yesterday, she kissed Cancan only because she was infatuated with his pitiful appearance.

Who cares about Wen Zhixia's son?

Wen Shuqiao continued, "He kissed you because he wanted to apologize to you."

After Can Can kissed him and said goodbye, she left with Gu Xingyuan.

Yu Mingxue, who had been looking out the window, looked at Wen Shuqiao with a puzzled expression after hearing her words: "Apologize?"

"Hmm." Wen Shuqiao hummed softly, "He told me this before you came. Wen Zhixia showed him your photos many times, but he forgot and felt very sorry for you."

Yu Mingxue was speechless. So that's what it was about?

He was clearly just a child. The photos Wen Zhixia showed him were probably taken when he was very young. What could he possibly remember?

Yu Mingxue didn't speak, leaning back in her chair, seemingly lost in thought.

Wen Shuqiao had finished conveying her message, and she had nothing more to say, so she simply leaned back in her chair and looked out the window at the receding scenery.

The phone in her pocket rang a few times. Wen Shuqiao took it out and glanced at it. It was Shen Jiazhou calling.

She hesitated for a moment, but answered the call anyway.

"Shuqiao, you and Yu Mingxue left?"

"Yes, Mr. Gu took Can Can out to play. Miss Yu and I are on our way now." Wen Shuqiao lowered her voice a little: "When you're done with your work, go pick up Can Can. I don't know when I'll be back."

After a soft "hmm" from the other end, Shen Jiazhou said, "I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with my work."

"No need, I'm in Miss Yu's car. I'll text you when I get there," Wen Shuqiao said. "I'll hang up now."

“…Okay.” Shen Jiazhou still reminded him, “Send me your location when you arrive, and remember to call me if anything happens.”

After agreeing, Wen Shuqiao hung up the phone.

She put her phone back in her bag, and Yu Mingxue, who was standing next to her, said quietly, "You really didn't talk to Shen Jiazhou?"

Wen Shuqiao turned her head to look at her and shook her head: "No, why would you say that?"

Aren't these just normal conversations?

"Oh, it's nothing, just asking casually." Yu Mingxue closed her eyes: "It's still early, please make yourself at home."

But she wondered to herself, when did Shen Jiazhou become so caring? Usually, his words were like poison.

Although I didn't hear what Shen Jiazhou said on the phone, I could guess about 70-80% of it from Wen Shuqiao's reply.

She might not know Wen Shuqiao, but how could she not know Shen Jiazhou?

This kid is definitely not right.

With a private car and a destination in mind, they arrived earlier than Wen Shuqiao had predicted.

The town was still crowded even as noon approached. Wen Shuqiao looked around and saw that it was similar to the towns in her previous life.

After watching for a while, Wen Shuqiao asked, "Let's go."

Finish watching it as soon as possible so you can go home sooner.

Yu Mingxue asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Wen Shuqiao looked at her, but Yu Mingxue had already walked towards a noodle shop on the street.

She followed, and Yu Mingxue had already ordered a bowl of wontons.

There were no customers in the noodle shop yet, so Yu Mingxue casually found a seat and sat down.

She looked at Wen Shuqiao: "What are you looking at?"

Wen Shuqiao also ordered a bowl of wontons and sat down in front of her.

Neither of them spoke. Soon, the shopkeeper brought out two bowls of wontons. When he saw Yu Mingxue, he glanced at her a few more times, feeling as if he had seen her before.

Yu Mingxue stirred the food with a spoon, and when she looked up, she found Wen Shuqiao looking at her.

She asked, "Haven't you ever seen anyone eat wontons before?"

Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "It's just my stereotype."

Yu Mingxue paused slightly upon hearing her words, then said in a nonchalant tone, "You do resemble Wen Zhixia quite a bit."

"Really?" Wen Shuqiao asked. "What kind of person is she?"

Yu Mingxue swallowed the wonton in her mouth. Perhaps because they had arrived in a small town, she had become more talkative: "What kind of person is she? She's quite smart, but too soft-hearted. She's always dragged down by that ungrateful little sister."

Wen Shuqiao silently ate her wontons, while Yu Mingxue continued, "But she probably never imagined that her ungrateful sister wasn't actually her real sister."

If Wen Zhixia had found her younger sister sooner, perhaps her life would have been easier.
