After Ali left, Zhang Chuyan and Xie Xingxuan stood not far away watching this scene. Zhang Chuyan said, "See? This person is a liar. She faked her pregnancy to deceive us. She also has someone she likes."

Zhang Chuyan was Nan Tianli's roommate in that life. In this life, he knows that time has turned back, so he has come along again.

His gaze fell heavily on Ahri's back; in this life, the master would surely be his.

Xie Xingxuan turned and walked away without saying a word.

"Brother Xie, say something! Make a statement, and we'll go over there together and catch them in the act."

"Need not."

A hazy light flashed in Xie Xingxuan's eyes, then disappeared.

Zhang Chuyan asked, puzzled, "Why?"

There's no reason why.

"Brother Xie, you haven't fallen for that conman, have you?"

Xie Xingxuan remained silent and continued carrying the load forward.

Zhang Chuyan wanted to continue persuading, but Xie Xingxuan suddenly turned around and said, "You've changed too. You seem to have become smarter. Before, weren't you only concerned about whether anyone would eat your noodles?"

Zhang Chuyan stiffened. He couldn't let his master notice anything was wrong. He had to stay calm. He said, "No, I'm still me. Come on, let's go sell noodles."

Xie Xingxuan watched him silently until he stiffly pushed the cart forward, then he said, "This is normal."

Zhang Chuyan bit his lower lip. Fine, he'd sell noodles if he wanted. He was going to sell all the noodles he made today.

On the other side, Ahri glanced into a house.

Fan Xing, sitting inside the room, was reading by the window. Her face was very handsome.

Ah Li gently placed the food aside and hid in the corner, untying the cloth strip wrapped around her waist.

She would occasionally peek out to look at where Fan Xing was, only to find that he was so engrossed in his book that he hadn't noticed her at all.

After the strip of cloth was removed, Ahri felt a significant relief in her waist.

Ah Li then walked towards Fan Xing with a smile and called out, "Brother Fan, dinner's ready."

Ali called out several times before Fan Xing seemed to hear him. He looked over at Ali and said, "I'm troubling you to bring me food again."

"No trouble at all. By the way, Brother Fan, please keep this money for now."

Ahri took out some loose silver and copper coins.

Fan Xing frowned. "Where did you get this? I don't want it."

"It's just that there are two suckers... no, didn't I say before that there's a great philanthropist?"

Ahri's face was filled with panic as she gave a rambling explanation.

Fan Xing didn't accept the money; instead, he stared at Ah Li.

Ah Li gradually stopped talking and fell silent.

Just then, Ah Li's stomach growled; she was hungry.

Fan Xing sighed and said, "Let's eat first."

"Um."

Ahri laughed again, and took a pancake, tore it in half and ate it.

After the two finished eating, Fan Xing lowered his eyes and said, "In the future, if that great philanthropist offers you money, please help me refuse it. I shouldn't accept something for nothing."

"oh."

Ah Li responded.

At this moment, Fan Xing stood up and went into the house.

Ah Li thought he was going to start reading again, so she packed her things and prepared to rewrap the cloth strips.

Anyway, once Fan Xing picks up a book, he becomes completely absorbed, as still as a mountain.

So, Ahri wrapped herself up in strips of cloth again in the corner.

"What are you doing?"

Ah Li had just heard footsteps and hadn't even hidden the strip of cloth properly when Fan Xing appeared in front of her, grabbing the strip of cloth around her waist.
