After Ye Mi left the grocery store, he contacted Yan Qiu immediately.

[Private Chat] Ye Mi: I have triggered the [Lost Treasure] Bead Carving Flower quest. This seems to be a team quest. It shows that I can share it with up to nine people.

I thought I would have to wait a while before I could get a reply, but before half a minute had passed, the person on the other end sent me a message.

[Private Chat] Yan Qiu: Where are you?

[Private Chat] Yan Qiu: I’m looking for you.

Although Ye Mi didn't know what couldn't be said in private chat, he thought that face-to-face communication was indeed more convenient than private chat, so he sent the address of Bai Xiang Restaurant.

There are private rooms on the first floor of Bai Xiang Restaurant where they can chat.

Although the private rooms on the first floor are not open to the public yet because they have not been renovated yet, Ye Mi is the boss and naturally will not be subject to these restrictions.

Since she had to wait anyway, she decided to take advantage of this time to renovate all the private rooms on the second floor.

The space on the lower floor appears larger because there are no counters, cabinets or other furniture.

Directly opposite the stairs, Ye Mi opened the floor-to-ceiling window, outside of which was the backyard of Baiwei Restaurant.

She planned to plant flowers and plants there so that when she looked up she could see the fragrance of the garden.

There is a corridor on each side of the stairs, and next to the corridor is the box.

There are ten private rooms in total, four on each side, and four more in the row opposite the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The names of the boxes on the left are: "Plum", "Orchid", "Bamboo" and "Chrysanthemum".

Although it's a bit rustic, I have to say it's quite suitable.

The wallpapers, prints, tableware, chandeliers and other patterns in each box are all named according to the name on the box.

The names of the boxes on the right are more auspicious, namely: "Fu", "Shou", "Ji" and "Xiang".

For festive occasion, most of the decorations inside are in red, a primary color.

The hanging ornaments are also ancient mythical beasts such as Pixiu, Qilin, and five-clawed golden dragon.

The four boxes at the back are called "Linjiangxian", "Qingyuyue", "Yijiangnan" and "Yulinling".

These were the names of some poems she remembered from the past.

Because it is related to poetry, the interior color tone is relatively light, mostly black, white and gray.

The main decoration is ink painting.

Because of the clever layout, it does not make people feel depressing or dull.

With her experience in decorating her home and the previous Baiwei Restaurant, she was able to complete the decoration very quickly this time.

She had just finished decorating the last room when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Ye Mi had just told Wan He that if anyone wanted to come and see him, he should bring him to the second floor, and he thought that this person was Yan Qiu.

Unexpectedly, after opening the door, what she saw was a soldier in armor.

She recognized at first glance that the soldier was an NPC.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Before the man could answer, Ye Mi saw Yan Qiu walking in from behind.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you."

Ye Mi was a little confused and didn't quite understand what was going on.

Feeling her doubtful gaze, Yan Qiu paused, then began to explain: "This man's surname is Yu, he joined the army five years ago, and it is said that he has a father, a mother, and a younger sister at home."

Ye Mi frowned, still not quite sure what this meant.

It was not until Yanqiu asked her to take out the hunter's apprentice knife that she had some vague guesses.

The moment the soldier saw the knife, his pupils couldn't help but shrink and his whole body was shaking slightly.

"This is... my father's..."

really.

After hearing this, Ye Mi's guess was finally confirmed.

This knife was given to her by Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen is obviously about the same age as the man in front of him, so he can't be the man's father.

but.

Before being given to Uncle Chen, this knife belonged to Grandma's husband.

In other words, the man in front of him was most likely the son of Grandma who had served as a soldier and whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Can you let me see it?" Ye Mi nodded, then put the knife into the man's hand.

She wasn't worried that the NPC was deceiving her.

First, there was no need for him to lie to her for a knife.

㟧Because this is the person brought by Yan Qiu.

Since he has brought the person here, he must have basically confirmed the person's identity, which is why he did this.

The man was fascinated by the knife in his hand, and Yan Qiu sat next to him spontaneously.

"This man is called Hua Xu, and he is the officer guarding Luoxing City..."

He was originally doing a mission related to the city defense battle in a few days, but he accidentally got the mission of Huaxia.

In order to complete this task, he investigated the background of this NPC, but he didn't expect that he would find out his relationship with Grandma.

"So why hasn't he visited his family in all these years?"

This is what Ye Mi cannot understand the most.

Even if you don't want to take a look, you can send someone to pass on a message or send a letter.

It wouldn’t have made the old man sad for so many years.

"He lost his memory once, and his memory was only restored recently." Ye Mi was silent, not knowing what to say.

She felt sorry for grandma, but at the same time she couldn't blame this person.

After all, he lost his memory and didn't remember anything, but it wasn't intentional that he disappeared without a trace for several years.

After Hua Chunying recovered his mood, Ye Mi told him everything that had happened to his grandmother's family since he left.

After learning that his father had died after falling off a cliff while hunting in the mountains, and that his sister had died due to an accident during pregnancy, this man who bleeds but does not cry even when stabbed by the enemy, sat on the ground and started crying.

Ye Mi couldn't bear it either.

"Come and see grandma if you have a chance." This was the only thing she could say now.

Hua Xu nodded and returned the knife to Ye Mi.

He is now asking for leave to go home.

It is really hard to imagine how an old woman, who knew her husband fell off a cliff, her daughter had an accident, and her son was missing, managed to survive these past few years.

Ever since Hua Yu left, Ye Mi looked depressed and seemed to be in a very bad mood.

He picked up the teacup in his hand and put it down again, but the tea that was less than eight-tenths full showed no sign of being touched.

Yan Qiu frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that this NPC matter would have such a big impact on Ye Mi.

Thinking about it now, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

If I had known earlier, I would not have brought this person here and would have just told him about the grandma.

Ye Mi quickly recovered from his shock.

She has not forgotten why she came to see Yan Qiu.

"The mission for the beaded flower has been triggered. I will share it with you now."
