"There's no other way. We already have Luo Chen, so we have to try to keep things peaceful," Qiu Shui said.

Loya wholeheartedly agreed.

After walking around the corridor, Qiu Shui saw an open door at the end of the corridor. She quietly looked inside and saw an old man wearing reading glasses sitting in a rattan chair with his back to them, reading a book.

"Grandma looks great!"

Luo Ya covered her mouth and laughed, "Silly girl, look closely, Grandma is asleep."

"Then let's keep our voices down."

They walked quietly, gently closed the door, and headed towards the rooftop on the side of the corridor.

Once on the rooftop, undisturbed, Qiu Shui propped herself up on her arms and gazed at the pink flower-covered hills in the distance. The hills were a delicate pink, a color that filled one with longing, and from afar, they looked like a fairyland.

She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, have you seen that man?"

"Huh? Who?"

Loya looked at her, puzzled.

"You're getting married soon, who do you think it will be?" Qiu Shui pouted.

"Ah, you're talking about him... I heard he's very outstanding, an excellent person, with a very regular lifestyle and good habits."

Luo Ya said with a smile.

Qiu Shui caught the phrase "I've heard" in the sentence and immediately felt uneasy. "You haven't seen him?"

Loya nodded.

"Then how do you know he's so outstanding, so good, and worthy of you?"

"I found out from his housekeeper. Half a year ago, your sister Yu sent me his information. I thought his conditions and habits were good, so I decided to marry him."

After hearing her words, Qiu Shui was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"What's wrong?"

"You should meet him before making a decision. What if he's ugly, has bad habits, or is irresponsible?"

Loya smiled.

“Idiot, the data doesn’t lie. I’ve been observing him for half a year. I’ve seen his image. The system detected that we are a perfect match. It’s said that we will be very happy after marriage.”

"But……"

Qiu Shui still felt something was amiss.

"Shui Shui went out to study and came back with her own insights, which is great."

Luo Ya wiped her eyes with relief. "I spent a week at Ailu Academy, so I understand how you feel. But silly girl, don't forget, data doesn't lie. It's more intuitive and accurate than you trying to understand a person. I may not be as happy as you imagine, but I'm definitely not bad off. Because I know him very well, and so does he."

Qiu Shui couldn't refute it; the vast amount of data in the database was enough to depict a person's truest self, but a vague sense of unease lingered in her heart.

If she heard about this before leaving home, she might encourage Ya Ya to find out more detailed information and get a full understanding of that person through their own means.

But now she feels she has changed. People should get along with each other; only then can feelings truly exist.

But as for spending time together, they have no chance to spend time together at all. She and Sister Ya Ya are family, but they live in different places and usually communicate through electronic bracelets.

This is a real headache...

"Since Shui Shui is so worried, why don't you help me check in a few days and see for yourself what kind of person my sister is going to marry?"

Luo Ya asked with a smile.

"Okay," Qiu Shui agreed. She was going to attend her wedding anyway. "Send me his information, I want to see how good he is, how he managed to steal my sister away~"

"It's already been sent. Shui Shui, take a look at what your future brother-in-law is like and give it to your sister for reference. Just sit there and watch."

Qiu Shui sat to one side, flipping through the documents.

Luo Ya stood to the side, watching her and sighing quietly.

She is twenty-five years old this year. Some people say she hasn't grown up yet, while others say she has already become an adult. When she was young, she thought that she would be an adult when she turned twenty-five, but now it seems that she hasn't grown up yet.

People who grow up will leave home, and those who are about to leave home will be as hesitant and anxious as she is now?

What might happen after marriage? It's not impossible for something like what happened to my cousin to happen. How can I stay rational then?

Luo Ya thought to herself.

She was already nervous and flustered about the upcoming wedding, and Qiu Shui's worried question just now deepened her fear. She was also unsure of herself, as the illusion and the real person were different.

She harbored a feeling...

Yes, it was fear. That person lived thousands of miles away and would take her thousands of miles away. She was afraid that if he treated her badly or did something to her, she would have no power to fight back.

At that time...

She fell into deep thought.

These thoughts send chills down my spine. If he has a penchant for imprisonment, or if he has some hidden secret, might he kill her...?

"In the year 2118, in order to deal with increasingly brutal crimes, the police proposed a new policy—fighting violence with violence!"

The sudden sound exploded in the air, startling the two of them. Qiu Shui and Luo Ya looked behind them and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

A small figure appeared on the cushion behind him. It was Luo Chen. He sat motionless in the chair, only his fingers twitching slightly as he fiddled with something in his hand.

"Luo Chen, why are you playing alone? Come to your auntie's!"

Luo Ya called to Luo Chen, who was sitting in a corner with the miniature connector in his hand, seemingly not hearing her. The miniature connector was occasionally broadcasting news.

"Luo Chen?"

Luo Ya called him gently again, but Luo Chen did not respond.

What's wrong with this child?

Luo Ya asked Qiu Shui with a puzzled look, and then she walked up to Luo Chen.

"Auntie."

Luo Chen looked up and simply called out.

Why didn't you talk to your aunt just now?

Qiu Shui pushed away the documents floating in the air, walked up to him, picked up the teddy bear in his arms, and hugged it to her own.
