Chen Yushu was preoccupied. She had been wandering around the place where she had seen Sister Song Qing yesterday, but she hadn't been able to see her again.

If it weren't for the shock of yesterday's meeting, she would have doubted whether it was all a dream.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

When Chen Yushu returned, she saw her brother sitting by the window, seemingly lost in thought, with a look of utter desolation in his eyes.

"fine."

It took Chen Yuqi a while to come to her senses, and she managed a weak smile.

He himself didn't believe what he said, so how could he possibly fool Chen Yushu?

There aren't many people who could turn her brother into this, Chen Yushu immediately thought of one.

"Brother, did you see Sister Song Qing?"

Just as she had guessed, Chen Yuqi immediately looked up.

"You've seen her too?"

"Yes, I saw her last night. She didn't see me. I wonder why Sister Song Qing came here?"

The brother and sister were both somewhat silent. Chen Yushu had previously guessed that he didn't know if Sister Song Qing had dated anyone in the past few years.

Her brother didn't tell her about Sister Song Qing when he came back from Xi'an, and now that he looks so forlorn, she probably already knows.

“Brother, I…”

Should we persuade her brother to move on? Neither of them are the type to insist on going through with something they know is impossible.

Perhaps my brother is also slowly letting go, but it just takes some time.

"Ask whatever you want."

"Little book?"

Song Qing was wondering how Xiao Shu was doing at noon when she saw her standing outside the dormitory as soon as she left.

Just as Song Qing had imagined, 16-year-old Chen Yushu was beautiful and energetic, much like Aunt Lin in her younger days.

"Sister Song Qing, we'll head over there now."

When the others saw that someone was looking for her, they left.

Soon, only the two of them were standing in front of the dormitory building. Chen Yushu didn't know why she had come over. She only asked her brother for Song Qing's address.

"Xiao Shu?" Song Qing called out again. She had regretted not having seen what Xiao Shu looked like when she was a teenager, but now, this twist of fate had allowed her to see her.

"sister"

After watching for a while, Chen Yushu suddenly burst into tears.

She had a lot of grievances she wanted to tell Sister Song Qing, but she was also afraid that Sister Song Qing would be different from before and would no longer treat her as a younger sister.

It was only when Song Qing called out to her that she was brought back to the time when she was young and would stay on Song Qing's bed, always sticking to her side.

Song Qing quickly pulled her into his arms.

Chen Yushu cried for a long time, her tears soaking her shoulders, before she finally smiled sheepishly.

"She still cries easily, just like before."

Whether it was in 1978 or now, when the two met for the first time, Chen Yushu did not hold any prejudice against her because of her brother's situation. Song Qing's eyes welled up with tears when she thought about this.

The two shared their recent situations. Chen Yushu told Song Qing that the matter in their family had been cleared, and they would soon be able to return to Xin'an. Their parents had also found jobs again.

"My brother told me that Mom and Dad are in good health, they've gotten back to their house, and everything is slowly getting better."

The same words Lin Yueyu always said also came out of the mouths of the brother and sister, and they began to have hope for the future.

Song Qing was surprised for a moment. She knew about the Bai family and the Zhou family, but she didn't know that the Chen family was also involved with them.

Even in the letters her parents sent her, they never mentioned that the Chen family was going to be exonerated.

Song Qing smiled bitterly; she roughly understood what her parents meant.

However, in her previous life, she didn't know that they were related to the Chen family until she returned in 1982.

Song Qing recalled that when she last met Chen Yuqi in her previous life, he said that Aunt Lin knew who was behind their scheme, but they ultimately did not pursue the matter.

She never understood why she had this extraordinary experience of being reborn for ten years. If it was a chance to choose again, Song Qing thought she had seized it and chosen to go to the Northeast to be with Lu Yang and raise their daughter together.

Her daughter is more lively, cheerful and bold than when she was the only one taking care of her. She has also resolved the misunderstanding with Lu Yang from their previous life, has a different career plan than in her previous life, and has a lover she can trust and rely on.

All of this is a result of rebirth.

But now it seems that the consequences are more than just these.

Many people are different from what she remembers, and many things have taken different turns.

The Chen family was exonerated five years ahead of schedule, while the Bai and Zhou families, who had been safe and sound before and were even unrelated to the Chen family's affairs in her memory, ended up suffering bad consequences.

"What are you thinking about, sis?"

Chen Yushu noticed that Sister Song Qing seemed lost in thought, her face showing a conflicted expression.

"fine."

She couldn't change the unknown, but now she not only knew how things were going, but also their consequences.

Perhaps she can change the course of these events.
