No one knows how things unfolded, but in the end, Xiao Yanzi was still in a bad mood and had a poor appetite, so she sneaked into the kitchen.

She met Yongqi, who was worried about Xiaoyanzi, and things developed just like in the original drama. Yongqi cooked noodles and fried eggs for Xiaoyanzi, and in the end, the two successfully got together.

...

Restaurant.

With Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi's matter resolved and Chen Nian and Cai Lian reunited, Chen Nian should have been very happy. However, thinking about the plot developments ahead, Chen Nian felt a bit irritable, and her hand holding the chopsticks unconsciously poked at the rice.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Sensing Shen Nian's low spirits, Ertai placed the boneless ribs he was holding into Shen Nian's bowl, asking with concern in his eyes.

"It's okay, let's eat."

Looking at Ertai's concerned eyes and the sweet and sour pork ribs in his bowl, Chen Nian shook his head and smiled slightly.

Forget it, I won't think about it too much. What's meant to happen will happen. I can't keep making the people who care about me worry.

That's right, Yongxuan, you better do me a favor and hurry up and win Qing'er over! If her sister-in-law is snatched away by Xiao Jian who appears out of nowhere, she'll be furious.

He roared inwardly, and the villainous figure grabbed and pounded him like a storm.

Chen Nian turned his head and glanced at Yong Xuan, who was sitting not far from him, his eyes filled with anger at his lack of ambition.

Yongxuan, who had just picked up a chicken wing with his chopsticks and was about to give it to Qing'er, hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to move or not. He could only stand there blankly in the air, looking innocently at Chen Nian, whose eyes were shooting him in the face.

Seeing that Yongxuan had noticed, and gave him a confused and innocent look, Chen Nian grinned fiercely at his little white teeth, looking "fierce".

Ahhh, she doesn't want this blockhead brother anymore.

Seeing Yongxuan's hand hovering in the air, he forced a smile, not caring about his image, and gestured to Qing'er sitting next to him.

Just as Shen Nian's face was contorted in exasperation, Yong Xuan, who was not far away, seemed to finally understand what Shen Nian meant. With a look of sudden realization, he placed the chicken wing in his hand into Qing'er's bowl.

Contemplation: ...

She had reason to suspect that her blockhead brother, Yongxuan, was doing it on purpose.

Chen Nian only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yongxuan give the chicken wings to Qing'er, and raised his hand to rub his somewhat stiff face.

She even abandoned her image for her blockhead brother. She didn't know how her father could spoil his mother so much, yet her blockhead brother hadn't learned anything from her. Even if he only learned a tenth of what he learned, he wouldn't be unable to win Qing'er's heart!

If Father finds out, he'll probably jump out of his grave and give Yongxuan a good whack on the head.

Chen Nian had no idea that if it weren't for her delay, the chicken wings would have been in Qing'er's bowl long ago.

Watching the three of them interact, Qing'er and Xiao Yanzi both looked at the two with smiles in their eyes.

Seeing the two of them together, Cailian smiled with relief. It was wonderful; it seemed that Chen Nian was truly doing well in this world. She had seen him smile more these past few days than she had seen him smile in the previous few months combined.

That's good too. She won't have to worry about being bullied after she leaves. She wants to see what the world she's been so reluctant to wake up from is like.

Her time was limited; she just wanted to see if she was doing well, and whether she was still being foolishly bullied without fighting back like in her previous life. Now that she saw that she was doing well, she could leave in peace.

In this life, she...
