Su Ping calmly surveyed her surroundings and found that the layout was exactly the same as when she was still there, without any changes whatsoever.
No, there's been a change; a portrait is now hanging on the wall.
It must have been Su Zhinan who specially commissioned someone to draw it, because the original owner's mother passed away when she was very young, and the original owner disliked Su Zhinan very much. Apart from the early photo taken by the media, there was practically no other photo of them together.
In this painting, three people are sitting side by side, but it looks somewhat incongruous.
Su Zhinan looked much thinner and sat somewhat reservedly in the middle, next to the original owner's mother, whose appearance remained unchanged from her most beautiful year.
Although the two are significantly different in age, they give the impression of a love that transcends time and space.
Su Ping's gaze shifted to the right, and she saw herself next to her, also smiling brightly.
She herself doesn't remember how the photo came about.
But when she thought about how her father had painstakingly drawn this family photo by hand, she felt inexplicably like to cry.
Aunt Mei returned with the water, and following her gaze, her eyes fell on the painting on the wall.
Since Miss left, not only President Su, but also she and Lao Feng would stare at her for a while whenever they had free time.
President Su instructed that the layout of the house should remain exactly as it was when Miss was still alive, saying that he was afraid she might miss home and not be able to find it if she came back one day.
Realizing Aunt Mei was approaching, Su Ping quickly lowered her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
After placing the water glass on the table in front of her, Aunt Mei looked at the painting on the wall and couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Su Ping caught a glimpse of her actions out of the corner of her eye, and her own voice trembled as she quickly picked up her water glass and took a big gulp.
As a result, she drank too fast and couldn't help coughing. Aunt Mei saw this and quickly came over to help her pat her back.
She didn't know why, even though she had never met this woman before, she couldn't help but feel a good impression of her.
Su Ping coughed twice, and tears streamed down her face.
Aunt Mei saw that her tears were flowing more and more, and realized that something was wrong.
Is something on your mind?
Su Ping sniffed and shook her head, knowing she couldn't stay any longer.
"Thank you……"
Before he could finish speaking, the door behind him was suddenly opened.
Su Zhinan was bending down to change his shoes when he noticed an unfamiliar pair and instinctively asked, "Are we having guests?"
Upon hearing Su Zhinan's voice, Su Ping's mind went blank, and she turned her head to look over almost uncontrollably.
Upon meeting his gaze, Su Ping moved her lips, unsure of how to react.
Su Zhinan, on the other hand, frowned slightly, glanced at her, and then gave her a polite smile.
The same familiar smile appeared, but Su Ping couldn't help but clench her fists at her sides.
Su Zhinan had just returned from outside. Thinking that Su Ping was Aunt Mei's friend, he smiled politely and went upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes.
Su Ping stared at his back for a few seconds, but the pain in her palm brought her back to her senses, and she quickly looked away.
"Thank you, I'll be going now."
After saying this, Su Ping left, leaving behind a look of unspoken understanding on Aunt Mei's face.
Since she was leaving, Aunt Mei couldn't linger. But as she watched her retreating figure, she felt an increasing sense of familiarity.
After leaving the villa, Su Ping returned to her car and sat in the driver's seat for a long time before finally calming down.
[Huluwa, after I leave, will the world of the novel continue to function as usual?]
[Yes, host. As long as the three male supporting characters' "darkening" values are reduced to zero and they no longer disrupt the relationship between the male and female leads, the novel's world will continue to function as usual.]
Su Ping suddenly had an idea.
"After I leave, will the original Su Ping come back?"
Calabash Brothers hesitated for a moment before speaking.
That's how it should be, logically speaking.
However, no host has been successfully hosted so far, so it cannot guarantee what will happen next.
You've tricked me so many times, can I make one request?
Calabash Brothers had a bad feeling, and sure enough, they heard Su Ping say the next second.
After I leave, can I erase some people's memories to thaw the relationship between the original owner and her father?
In Su Ping's memory, the original owner was not particularly bad; she was just too starved for love and took Xu Yichen's companionship as something unique to her.
That's why she felt threatened when the female lead, Song Yifei, appeared next to Xu Yichen, and then went crazy and irrationally tried to win back Xu Yichen's attention.
Calabash Brothers didn't agree immediately; after considering it for a moment, they said with some helplessness.
[I'll report this to my superiors later; it should be possible, provided you can successfully get the novel's ending on track and achieve a happy ending for the male and female leads.]
Another ambiguous answer.
Su Ping sighed. Hopefully.
Her phone chimed; it was a message from Lu Zhiyan asking if she had time today and wanting to take her somewhere.
Su Ping didn't know how to face him for a moment, so she could only make up an excuse to brush it off.
On the other side, Lu Zhiyan, who was lying on the table staring at his phone, heard the message notification sound and quickly picked up his phone to check it.
Upon seeing Pingping's message, the smile on his face gradually faded.
But I still managed to suppress my emotions and replied with a single sentence.
"Okay, then get back to me when you're done with your work."
After sending that message, he put down his phone, somewhat discouraged, and buried his head in his arms.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but these past few days he'd felt that Pingping was hiding something from him, and that feeling of unease made him very anxious.
But he didn't know what she was busy with and was afraid of upsetting her.
It's so difficult.
Lu Zhiyan pushed open the door and came in just in time to see his dejected appearance, which immediately cheered her up.
"Did you two have a fight?"
Lu Zhiyan looked up at him, frowning.
What are you doing here?
That was quite a sharp tone. Lu Zhiyan sat down opposite him and said somewhat unhappily.
"Do you think I'd like to see you? Mom said you need to get ready so you can go out to dinner with her tonight."
Lu Zhiyan wasn't very close to this nominal mother, so he only selectively replied to the messages she sent him.
They only sent Lu Zhiyan to inform him because he hadn't replied to their message.
Lu Zhiyan didn't want to deal with her, so he simply frowned and said...
"Go ahead, we look alike anyway. Just shut up and keep quiet, she shouldn't recognize you."
Lu Zhiyan was amused by his words and was about to say something when she remembered what Madam Lu had inadvertently let slip and blinked.
"Alright, don't regret it."
Lu Zhiyan was somewhat surprised to hear that he agreed so quickly.
Lu Zhiyan stood up, patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left, humming a song.
Lu Zhiyan withdrew his gaze and stared at his phone, which was now off. He was thinking about Su Ping's unusual behavior lately, which was very strange.
