Sure enough, Mingyue was teaching He Caisheng word by word with a calligraphy brush. After teaching him once, she lay back in her chair and leisurely ate snacks.

He Nian brought the person in and then left. She had to go to work in the fields; she had been busy all day yesterday and almost forgot about the work there.

Mingyue smiled and said, "You've come. Please have a seat."

Liu Zhenzhen nodded and sat up obediently. Then, realizing something was wrong, she wondered why she was being so obedient.

The legs that had been joined together quietly parted as a form of protest.

Mingyue tapped the small wooden table. "Take these things out. I want to chat with your sister Zhenzhen for a bit."

He Caisheng glanced at Liu Zhenzhen, then obediently carried his things out. "Hello, Sister Zhenzhen."

Hello...

Liu Zhenzhen was restless, her eyes fixed on He Caisheng.

Help! She doesn't want to be alone with Mingyue at all!

She felt as if she had become the pen and paper in He Caisheng's hand, and she wanted to go out too!

With everyone gone, only Liu Zhenzhen and Mingyue remained in the courtyard. Liu Zhenzhen, puzzled, forced herself to speak, "Miss Mingyue, I didn't mean to yesterday. I hope I didn't disturb you."

"It's alright, your older brother has taken care of it. What I want to ask is, how did you get here?"

Liu Zhenzhen was taken aback, and tentatively began, "My home isn't far from Sister He Nian's..."

Mingyue interrupted, "What I mean is, why did you travel to this world?"

Liu Zhenzhen: !!

Liu Zhenzhen was so shocked she didn't dare breathe. Who was she?!

How did she get exposed?

Will the system abandon her?

Will she be able to go home?

"Don't worry, your system is unaware of our conversation for the time being."

Liu Zhenzhen was so shocked that her mouth dropped open. It took her a long time to start explaining, "The school assigned too much homework. I'm a bit slow, so I wrote until midnight every day. I practically wore myself out."

"Is this your own belief, or did the system tell you that?"

Liu Zhenzhen frowned slightly. She hadn't thought about this question, but she still answered, "The system said so."

Liu Zhenzhen noticed that Mingyue's expression changed slightly, and she felt increasingly uneasy. Could it be that she couldn't go back?

"Lord Mingyue, am I not going to be unable to go back? The system said that as long as I complete the mission, it will let me go home, I..."

"We can't go back."

Those three words choked Liu Zhenzhen to death.

Upon receiving the answer, Liu Zhenzhen turned ashen-faced, and a chill ran through her as panic gripped her.

What if I can't go back?

She's her parents' only daughter, and she has so many friends. She also wants to eat the starch sausage and snail rice noodles near her school...

Is there really no way at all?

Liu Zhenzhen suppressed the bitterness in her heart, her eyes moist and misty, and stubbornly asked again.

Mingyue ate the osmanthus cake, which wasn't too sweet or greasy, with a smile on her lips. "No, the Liu family has treated you well enough. Isn't it good for you to stay here?"

Liu Zhenzhen wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes, finally unable to hold back any longer. "No, I have a mom and dad. I don't want to take over Liu Zhenzhen's body. I'm just a student. Why is this happening to me?"

She had no desire to travel back to ancient times. The rigid rules and regulations imposed on women made her uncomfortable, and she wasn't smart enough to be like He Nian.

But she was a modern person, and she had seen and experienced the free and unrestrained life of girls, so when she came to this matter, she dared not let go of anything, for fear that people would find out that she was not Liu Zhenzhen!

She was on high alert every day, only kept going by the system's message that completing the task would give her the thought of going home.
