Zhang Yuanyuan hung up the phone with some doubt.

Later, she learned from her grandmother, the director of the orphanage, that in this world, besides social class, there is also the concept of blood ties. Blood is as thick as water, which refers to people like Fu and Xu Moran who share a close blood relationship.

So what if we're separated by mountains and rivers, or so many years? What's meant to happen is just a matter of time; we'll meet eventually.

Xu Moran didn't bring her phone when she was walking the dogs. After the two dogs finished relieving themselves, she went upstairs and heard her phone ringing. Fearing that the police station might be looking for her urgently, she quickly ran upstairs.

When she got the phone, it rang again. When she looked at it, it really was Sun Xingchao calling her.

"Hey, Captain Sun." Xu Moran was a little out of breath after climbing three flights of stairs. "You wanted to see me?"

Sun Xingchao said directly to Xu Moran over the phone, "Xiao Xu, your mission to the city has been temporarily canceled. You'll be back at the police station tomorrow."

"Ah!" Xu Moran was surprised. "Why?"

Sun Xingchao said in a businesslike tone, "This is the team's decision. There are no more whys or reasons. You just need to obey."

Just as soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, Xu Moran, as a policeman, was taught from the first day of police academy to take obedience to orders as his responsibility.

Since Sun Xingchao had already said that, Xu Moran really couldn't say anything more. She whispered, "I understand," and hung up the phone.

It wasn't that she particularly wanted to go to the city because she had never been there before, but rather that she was afraid of disappointing Xiao Anhe. Just as she was thinking about how to explain it to Xiao Anhe later, a head popped out from the kitchen, "Ranran, wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon."

Xu Moran hummed in agreement and went over to wash her hands.

When she came out after washing her hands, dinner was already laid out on the small dining table: thick rice porridge, cucumber and carrot salad, and vegetarian steamed buns.

It looked simple, but it was refreshing and nutritious. Xu Moran ate it rather casually. She glanced at Xiao Anhe, then glanced at him again. Finally, Xiao Anhe asked her, "Ranran, do I look exceptionally handsome now?"

That's just how he is; even though he can clearly see what Xu Moran is worried about, he still tries to make her laugh.

Xu Moran put down his chopsticks. "Yes, you are outrageously handsome now."

Xiao Anhe leaned her head on Xu Moran's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Ranran, since that's the case, why don't you marry me?"

Xu Moran nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I'll marry you once you remember who you really are and once you've recovered all your past memories."

Xiao Anhe seemed to have been waiting for Xu Moran to say this, and immediately smiled slyly, "Xiao Mei, go and fetch the paper and pen!"

Xiao Mei found a girlfriend she liked, and her heart was pounding with excitement. She quickly brought paper and a pen to Xiao Anhe.
