The room was empty, and the floor, walls and windows were spotless.

In order to remove traces of her adopted daughter, she ordered the entire room to be repainted after she moved out, and even replaced the floor tiles and curtains.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s old or her life is too lonely, but she thinks of her adopted daughter from time to time recently.

The adopted daughter was beautiful and smart when she was young. From kindergarten to elementary school, and then to junior high school and high school, she was always the prettiest and the most eye-catching, and she was happy to pamper her.

If, the eldest daughter Yun Yao did not come back, her relationship with her adopted daughter would still be harmonious, the youngest daughter would not die, and the youngest son would be by her side, how great it would be.

As soon as Su Ming'an returned home, he found that his mother was looking at him with a very strange and complicated look.

"Mom, is there something on my face?"

Song Peirong closed her eyes and sighed, "Where have you been these two days?"

"I went to the countryside with some friends. By the way, Mom, I brought back a basket of peaches and apricots, all freshly picked in the countryside. If you can't finish them, you can share them with your friends. I'm so tired. I'll go back to the house and rest for a while. You don't have to cook for me tonight. I have an appointment with a friend."

Looking at her son's tall back, Song Pei tolerated it again and again, but still did not tell him that Yun Mo was the provincial top scholar.

There was no point in saying it out loud. How could she have thought that the girl she had looked down upon since childhood would have such good fortune now? But just because Song Peirong didn't say it didn't mean that Su Mingan wouldn't hear the news from other people.

"Ming'an, have you heard that your ex-fiancée is the provincial champion this year?"

Su Mingan spat out all the wine he had just drunk.

He stared at his friend in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"

"Ming'an, you don't know about this yet? The rewards from No. 3 Middle School and the Education Bureau have all been sent to your fiancée's house."

"I heard that the city's TV stations and newspapers all went to do interviews..."

As they were talking, the TV in the bar happened to play the news of Yun Mo being interviewed.

On the small TV screen, the girl was beautiful and answered the reporter's questions with ease.

"Wow, Ming'an, your ex-fiancée has an amazing face. From what I saw on TV, she was as beautiful as a big star."

"666 points? Did I see that correctly? Su Mingan, your ex-fiancée's college entrance examination score is incredible! How did she do it?"

"This is the first time that Jiang City has won the title of provincial champion. I heard from my father that the city is also planning to give her an honorary title and award."

Everyone was talking excitedly, but no one noticed Su Mingan's increasingly gloomy face.

Yun Mo, that damn woman, he really underestimated her!

He actually got the top scorer in the province!

—

In the middle of dinner, Yun Mo received a call from Xie Xia from the other side of the ocean.

"Momo, congratulations."

Hearing Xie Xia's calm and warm voice on the other end of the phone, Yun Mo couldn't help but feel her eyes warm up slightly.

When she first heard the score, Yun Mo was indeed surprised and excited, but as she regained her senses, she finally understood why Xie Xia chose to go abroad on the day of the college entrance examination.

In the three mock exams, Xie Xia was always ahead of her.

If Xie Xia had taken the college entrance examination, it would still be unknown whether she would have been the top scorer.

Thinking of this, Yun Mo's eyes became even hotter, and her voice had a hint of coquettish nasality.

"Sister Xia, why are you so nice to me?"

Xie Xia on the other end of the phone chuckled, "Calling to congratulate you is a good thing for you, Momo, when did you become so content?"

Yun Mo choked up a little, "Sister Xia, you know that's not what I'm talking about. You know better than me how I became the top scholar in the province. It's you who made my honor today possible."

"You earned this honor through your own efforts, Momo. I am very proud of you."

"Sister Xia, are you doing well over there? Have you made any new friends?"

"It's OK. There are quite a lot of international students here, but I don't really like playing with them. They just eat and drink, it's not interesting."

"If you want something interesting, how about dating someone?"

"Not interested. I'm learning photography recently. I'll send you the postcards I took later."

"Okay, then take some photos of yourself. Fangfang and I miss you."

"Um."

After putting away the mobile phone, Yun Mo turned around and found that Zeng Fang had come out of the private room at some point and was standing quietly behind her.

Seeing her looking over, Zeng Fang quickly explained, "I originally wanted to go to the bathroom, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call."

Yun Mo smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?"

Zeng Fang pursed her lips and said, "Momo, did Sister Xia really give up taking the college entrance examination just for you?"

Yun Mo paused for a moment before nodding slightly, "It should be."

Zeng Fang's expression was indescribably complicated. "I think Sister Xia truly loves you."

Yun Mo was successfully amused, "Don't I really love you? All the dishes I ordered for my celebration banquet are your favorite."

"Hey, of course you're nice to me. Oh, no, I have to go to the bathroom. I can't hold it anymore. Let's talk when I come back!"

Yun Mo couldn't help laughing as she watched Zeng Fangfeng rushing towards the bathroom. But the next moment she thought of her good friend who was studying alone on the other side of the ocean, and she couldn't help feeling melancholy.

That night, Su Ming'an got drunk.

In his drunken sleep, he had a long and sweet dream.

In the dream, Yun Yao did not return to the Yun family, and Yun Mo was not the provincial top scorer, and she didn't even get into the provincial university. She was able to study in the provincial university because of her family's connections.

After he graduated from college, his family arranged a wedding for him and Yun Mo.

On the wedding day, Yun Mo wore a pure white wedding dress and was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven descending to earth.

After marriage, he and Yun Mo lived a very happy and sweet life. Within two years, they had a lovely daughter, and later a son.

Later, Yun Mo's biological father came to visit, and Yun Yao also returned to the Yun family.

Yun Yao died of a terminal illness not long after returning to the Yun family. He and Yun Mo took their two children to attend Yun Yao's funeral.

The dream came to an abrupt end.

Su Ming'an sat on the head of the bed in a trance, a cigarette between his fingers, and his mind could not calm down for a long time.

He couldn't tell whether this was just a beautiful dream or his inner delusion and unwillingness.

He didn't like Yun Mo, but he didn't hate her that much either. However, every time he saw her, he couldn't help but be attracted to her. Even after she ripped him off last time, he wasn't that angry.

He always felt that he just treated Yun Mo as a younger sister who had grown up with him.

But this dream made him realize that he seemed to treat her as more than just a sister.

He treated her as a woman.

But what else can he do? She has already married someone else, seems to be living a good life, and will have children for another man in the future.

Everything in the dream will ultimately be just an illusory dream.

But why did he feel so uncomfortable in the area of ​​his heart? It was as if a piece of flesh had been dug out of him, leaving him feeling extremely empty, or as if a treasure that originally belonged to him had been taken away by someone else without his knowledge.
