In the afternoon, Su Xingran went home and told Huang Zhenhua about what had happened that day. "Master, is Grandpa Xiao a good friend of yours? Also, I discovered something: Grandpa Xiao's grandson looks a lot like Sister-in-law Xiaoxue."
Huang Zhenhua never expected such a thing to happen. "Xiao Zhanguo and I are comrades-in-arms! He is a soldier and your teacher's wife and I are military doctors. We fought against the Japanese together."
"He's about ten years older than me. When I left Beijing, he had already gone to live in a state-arranged sanatorium. If Master isn't mistaken, Xiaoxue's father should be Xiao Zhanguo's grandson."
Su Xingran was a little confused. "Master, according to you, Grandpa Xiao didn't know about Uncle Xiao's existence? Otherwise, why didn't Uncle Xiao see Grandpa Xiao when he came to Beijing for Sister-in-law Xiaoxue's wedding?"
Huang Zhenhua sighed, "Xiaoxue's father's original surname wasn't Xiao; he probably changed it later. I've only met Xiaoxue's father twice, both times when he was a child. So I didn't really recognize him when I was in Northeast China."
"Xingran and the others' situation is a bit complicated, and Master doesn't want to get involved in their family matters. As for Xiaoxue, there's no need to say anything, so as not to add to the child's worries. Let them resolve their own issues in the future; we won't get involved."
When Su Xingran heard what her master said, she felt that it might be a family drama. She decided to just pretend she didn't know anything; getting involved in other people's family affairs could be troublesome.
After dinner, Su Xingran had to rush back to school; tomorrow was Monday, and she had to go to class. She intended not to know or get involved in other people's affairs. But who knew that fate could be so unpredictable?
Su Xingran rode her bicycle to the Gu family's house to return to school with Xiao Xue. They each rode a bicycle back to school, and just as they were about to reach the school gate, Xiao Xue was cut off by another cyclist.
Xiao Xue's bicycle veered off course and collided with a bicycle coming from the side. Fortunately, the rider of the other bicycle braked in time and put their feet on the ground to brace themselves and avoid falling. Xiao Xue also managed to steady herself and avoid falling.
"Excuse me, are you alright, classmate?" Xiao Xue asked the male classmate who had stopped his car in front of her.
Su Xingran looked at Xiao Xue and the male classmate in front of her, feeling somewhat helpless and unsure of what to say. Anyone with normal eyesight could see that these two faces were remarkably similar.
Xiao Luxuan stopped the car and heard the girl next to him ask him a question. He quickly turned around to answer. But when he turned around, he froze, and Xiao Xue, who had asked the question, also froze.
Xiao Xue was a little stunned. Why did the male classmate in front of her look so much like her? This male classmate was just like her when she was a boy.
Xiao Luxuan stared blankly, wondering why this girl looked so much like him. This girl was like a younger version of himself. He was starting to have doubts; could this be his father's child from another family?
Su Xingran felt that if she didn't say anything, the two of them could stand there in a daze forever. They could keep staring at each other, constantly asking themselves why someone could look so much like them.
"Comrade Xiao, Sister-in-law Xiaoxue, don't just stand there. There are still many people riding bicycles behind us, and we also need to get to school."
Xiao Luxuan and Xiao Xue came to their senses. Although they were surprised that the other looked so much like them, they knew that now was not the time to ask such questions.
"I'm fine, female classmate. I braked in time and put my foot down for support. Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Xiao Luxuan asked Xiao Xue, feeling that this female classmate was connected to him.
Xiao Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that the male classmate in front of her was alright. "I'm glad you're okay, I'm fine too. Are you also a student at Peking University? My sister and I need to get to school, so let's leave now!"
Xiao Luxuan looked at Su Xingran, who was waiting there, and said, "I am a student of Peking University. Su Xingran, you and your sister should go into the school first!"
