Seeing that Ye Ruyi was standing there in a daze and didn't answer her question, Jiang Luoluo pressed on, "Are you alright? Did you get brain damage from the accident?"

"I'm fine," Ye Ruyi replied listlessly.

Jiang Luoluo was unaware of Ye Ruyi's emotional change. Instead, she smiled and looked at Ye Fanxing, chatting with her warmly, "Ye Fanxing, my mother's surname is also Ye. What a coincidence!"

Ye Fanxing casually chimed in, "Maybe we were one family five hundred years ago."

"Of course!" Jiang Luoluo pulled up a chair and sat down next to Ye Fanxing, asking, "Judging from your accent, you're not from Licheng?"

"No, I'm from Huacheng."

A native of Huacheng?

Ye Fanxing?

Ye Ruyi had a vague guess in her heart that the girl in front of her might be her and Ye Heping's daughter.

Will she still recognize herself?

Perhaps she wouldn't recognize him.

Because... as far back as she can remember, she left Huacheng and came to Licheng.

She was determined to leave Huacheng, and even when her parents threatened to sever ties with her, she did not hesitate.

She remembered her parents saying that if she left Huacheng, they would pretend they had never given birth to her.

They will only recognize Ye Heping as their son, and will not allow her to come back to visit him in his old age or death.

At that time, she was filled with resentment and hatred. After turning away, she came to Licheng.

At first, she thought about going back to see her parents, but later, due to job changes and inconvenient transportation, she didn't have time to go back.

Later, she dared not go back.

As Ye Ruyi tidied up the shop, she asked curiously, "Did you come to Licheng to register alone?"

"No." Ye Fanxing replied coldly.

Jiang Luoluo asked with a smile, "Did your parents send you here too? Oh my, you don't know, I'm already twenty years old this year, but my parents still treat me like a child and insist on sending me to school. I've said no, no, but they still insist on coming."

If it were in the past, when Jiang Luoluo complained so sweetly, Ye Ruyi would definitely have echoed Jiang Luoluo's words and said a few sweet words to coax her.

But now, looking at Ye Fanxing sitting at the desk, Ye Ruyi felt as if a piece of bitter medicine had been stuffed into her mouth, making it difficult for her to speak.

"This is a happy trouble, a sweet burden," Ye Fanxing said casually.

Jiang Luoluo thought about it and realized that made sense.

She casually sat down next to Ye Fanxing and said gently, "That seems to be true. Did your parents go back after dropping you off?"

Ye Ruyi also looked curiously at Ye Fanxing, who seemed to be her daughter. She had not heard from Ye Heping all these years.

She never expected that Ye Heping would teach Ye Fanxing so well.

Ye Ruyi looked at Ye Fanxing's dress; the style was elegant and simple, and the fabric was of the highest quality.

She thought that Ye Heping must have married a new wife later.

Otherwise, given Ye Heping's rough and careless personality, how could he have raised Ye Fanxing so well?

Ye Fanxing was not familiar with Jiang Luoluo, and she was unwilling to tell her own story to a stranger.

"Aren't you going to cut your hair short?"

Ye Fanxing pointed to Jiang Luoluo's curly hair.

Jiang Luoluo didn't realize that Ye Fanxing was changing the subject. She touched her curly hair and said with a slight discomfort, "I definitely have to cut it, but I don't want to cut it now. I'll wait until the class teacher tells me what to do. I'll put it off for as long as I can."

Ye Ruyi made the bed and put all of Jiang Luoluo's personal belongings into the cabinet.

"Lolo, I've put all the shampoo and soap in the cabinet."

Ye Ruyi repeatedly gave instructions.

"Lolo, just do your best in everything, and don't push yourself too hard."

Jiang Luoluo rolled her eyes impatiently and said sarcastically, "Mom, are you going through early menopause? You really talk too much!"

Ye Ruyi sighed helplessly.

She tidied herself up, took Jiang Luoluo's arm, and walked up to Ye Fanxing.

"Ye Fanxing, classmate."

Ye Fanxing looked at Ye Ruyi standing with Jiang Luoluo, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is something the matter?"

When Ye Ruyi first heard Ye Fanxing's name, she thought she was her daughter. But when she got closer, she realized that Ye Fanxing might just be someone with the same name as her daughter.

The Ye Fanxing in front of her didn't look like her, nor did she look like Ye Heping.

Then she must not be his daughter.

"Classmate, our Lolo has been spoiled since she was little, and she has poor self-reliance. If there is anything she doesn't know how to do, please help her."

Ye Fanxing gently raised her eyes and looked at Ye Ruyi.

Ye Ruyi was wearing a Suzhou-style dress, and her hair, like Jiang Luoluo's, was curly.

She wore a watch on her wrist, a jade Buddha pendant around her neck, and had her ears pierced, wearing a pair of gold earrings with leaf-shaped tassels.

She was carrying a black baguette bag, looking modern and stylish.

Especially when she's holding hands with Jiang Luoluo, they look like a pair of sisters.

"Have we met before?" Ye Fanxing sensed a familiarity on Ye Ruyi's face and asked.

When Ye Ruyi first didn't see Ye Fanxing's face, she wondered if Ye Fanxing might be Ye Heping and her daughter.

The panic she felt vanished the moment she saw Ye Fanxing's face.

She was not yet mentally prepared to meet her biological daughter.

Fortunately, she is not her and Ye Heping's daughter.

Jiang Luoluo smiled and said, "You probably haven't met before. My mother has never been to Huacheng."

Ye Ruyi chimed in, "That's right, I've never been to Huacheng."

Ye Fanxing coldly and distantly parted her thin lips and said, "Perhaps I've confused them."

Jiang Luoluo nodded emphatically.

"You must have mixed it up. If you'd met my mom, she would definitely recognize you."

Ye Fanxing glanced absentmindedly out the window and immediately saw Huo Dongfang standing under the lychee tree.

She quickly packed her things, locked them in the drawer, and said to Jiang Luoluo and Ye Ruyi, "Excuse me, please move aside."

Jiang Luoluo asked, "Ye Fanxing, where are you going?"

"I don't need to report to you where I go!"

Ye Fanxing's tone carried a sharp, slightly barbed edge, and Jiang Luoluo replied somewhat awkwardly, "I was just curious."

"You can use your curiosity to do scientific research, but please don't be curious about my private affairs."

Ye Fanxing gave Ye Ruyi a deep look.

"We're not that familiar with each other."

After saying that, Ye Fanxing turned around and went downstairs.

Ye Ruyi stared at Ye Fanxing's back, feeling that her words just now had a hidden meaning.

But she felt that she hadn't offended Ye Fanxing.

On what grounds did she speak to her in such a tone?

"Luo Luo, don't get too close to her in the future." Ye Ruyi was afraid that the naive Jiang Luo Luo didn't know how to get along with people. "Her personality is unpredictable. She doesn't seem like an easy girl to get along with."
