The four people who came out of the Queen's castle got into the car to go home. Just as they got in the car, Anning sneezed.
Anning: "A Qiu."
Thunder: "Are you cold? Put on your scarf, I'll hold you, and we can take a nap."
An Ning: "Yeah, I'm tired..."
An Ning rested in Lei Ting's arms, and Lei Ting patted her. Liao Qian looked at the badge on her chest and said...
Liao Qian: "With this badge, you can freely attend any noble gathering in Bei'ai's country from now on."
Thunder: "I'm not going, what a piece of junk."
Allen: "Thunder, Ollie and Viya really like you and want your contact information."
Thunder: "You gave it to me?"
Allen: "I'm asking you again, are you going to give it to me?"
Thunder: "No way. If you dare give it to me, I won't take you back to the country."
Allen: "OK, I'll just say I don't know."
Liao Qian: "Hahaha, you're still being chased around. Where did all your martial arts skills go?"
Lei Ting: "Get lost! I'm never coming to these kinds of gatherings again. You two shut up, An Ning is asleep."
Anning was truly exhausted. She had been attending various gatherings these past few days without getting any proper rest. Leiting patted her, and she could snuggle into his arms and sleep soundly.
Thunder: "Let's go to the courtyard to rest for a few days. We won't attend any gatherings during these days. I want to spend some quality time with Anning."
Liao Qian: "OK, don't forget the invitation from Mousse Mountain."
Thunder: "It's so annoying. I don't want to go to any of these mountains or associations."
Liao Qian: "Didn't you promise An Yang that you would treat Qi Ya'er's illness?"
Lei Ting: "Let Chonglou come with me. Leave the treatment to him. I don't have time to treat Qi Ya'er. I've arranged for roasted venison for lunch tomorrow. You two come to the courtyard tomorrow at noon."
Liao Qian: "Okay."
Allen: "Venus meat?"
Liao Qian: "Venus meat is good for your health; it's very nourishing."
Allen: "OK".
After getting out of the car, Lei Ting carried An Ning home. An Ning was sleeping soundly. Lei Ting looked at An Ning in his arms and kissed her. Suddenly, he smelled a strong, sweet scent—jasmine. Lei Ting looked up and saw a girl who looked remarkably like Jasmine from high school. She was carrying a bunch of jasmine flowers and walked out of the courtyard, passing by him. Lei Ting slightly raised his eyebrows and turned to look at her back. The girl had two fresh jasmine flowers in her hair, so strong that Lei Ting couldn't open his eyes. It was like a hallucination. An Ning in his arms let out a burp, pulling Lei Ting back to reality. Lei Ting carried An Ning home quickly. Once home, he put An Ning on the bed to sleep and went to take a shower.
What's going on? Who is this girl? Why does she look exactly like Jasmine, and why is she carrying jasmine flowers? This can't be a coincidence. Could it be someone's doing this? After taking a shower, Lei Ting called Guo Fan. Guo Fan searched and found that the girl's name was Yuegui, an overseas Chinese from Cherry Country. She had nothing to do with Jasmine. Their resemblance was just a coincidence. After hanging up with Guo Fan, Lei Ting sighed. Jasmine's image gradually appeared in his mind. Thinking that she was no longer alive, and that the Lei family was behind Jasmine's death, Lei Ting felt a pang of guilt.
Lei Ting burned ebony incense in the living room, took a deep breath, opened a bottle of wine, and gulped it down. Suddenly, someone rang the doorbell. Lei Ting looked at the security camera and felt like he had seen a ghost. A face exactly like Jasmine's appeared on the camera. Lei Ting frowned, went to the yard, and opened the gate. Yuegui looked anxiously into the yard. Lei Ting frowned as he looked at her.
Thunder: "What do you want?"
Laurel: "Excuse me, my Totoro has wandered into your house. It's over there."
Lei Ting looked in the direction Yue Gui was pointing, and there really was a Totoro in the yard. Yue Gui ran over, picked up the Totoro, and stroked it with a smile. She walked up to Lei Ting, who looked at her face and was momentarily stunned. Yue Gui smiled and said...
Laurel: "I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest, thank you."
Thunder: "I've never seen you in the courtyard before."
Laurel: "I'm here to look after my friend's house; I don't live here permanently."
Yuegui brushed her hair aside, and one of the jasmine flowers she had pinned behind her ear fell out. Leiting gestured for her to leave, and the Totoro in Yuegui's arms jumped down again. Yuegui chased after it into the yard. Leiting watched this scene; this girl, who looked remarkably like Jasmine, possessed a purity that Jasmine lacked. Leiting used his feet to block the Totoro running towards him, allowing Yuegui to finally catch it. After running around the yard, Yuegui was exhausted and covered in sweat. She stood up, holding the Totoro, panting.
Laurel: "This little rascal is so naughty, I'll lock you up when we get home."
Thunder: "Please."
Laurel: "Thank you..."
Yuegui nodded and left, the scent of jasmine wafting from her hair. Lei Ting was somewhat dazed, and after a moment, he suddenly remembered that Anning was asleep upstairs. Lei Ting looked up at the second floor and saw Anning lying on a rocking chair by the French windows, holding a wine glass and looking at everything in the courtyard. Lei Ting immediately ran up to Anning, who poured him a glass of wine. Lei Ting didn't know what to say or how to explain the arrival of this girl who looked so much like Jasmine.
Anning: "The 1967 white wine is nothing special, not very good, but not bad either. You should try it."
Lei Ting had no interest in tasting the wine. He sat down next to An Ning, who sighed, put down her wine glass, and looked at the jasmine flower that had fallen from the top of the laurel tree in the yard. It stood out conspicuously on the lush green lawn.
An Ning: "Are you tempted?"
Thunder: "No."
Lei Ting grabbed An Ning's hand and said urgently that there was no problem. An Ning looked into his eyes and nodded.
An Ning: "It doesn't sound like a lie."
