Upon hearing Yu Yao say that she was allergic to red mushrooms, Wu Huaiqing couldn't help but lean forward, his voice becoming more excited as he asked again, "Comrade Yu is allergic to red mushrooms?"
Yu Yao responded, "I am indeed allergic."
Wu Huaiqing was overjoyed and couldn't contain his excitement. He forced a smile off his face and said, "That's quite a coincidence. My aunt is also allergic to red mushrooms."
Yu Yao didn't expect such a coincidence.
She is a slow starter and rarely treats unfamiliar people with politeness or distance.
But for some reason, he always felt an involuntary closeness to Wu Huaiqing.
Perhaps it was his gentle and peaceful temperament that made people feel comfortable, or perhaps it was his peach blossom eyes, which were somewhat similar to hers, that made Yu Yao feel close to him.
When Ge Jinhua returned from the restroom, the aluminum lunchbox in her hand was filled with grapes she had washed.
"The grapes can't be kept, I've washed them all. You guys eat these, and I'll take the rest to Sister Hu and Brother Lu."
Sweetie also missed her grandmother, so she went to visit her with Ge Jinhua.
The grapes in the aluminum lunchbox were vibrant green and small, but they had a unique, refreshing aroma and a sweet, crisp taste.
Yu Yao liked it very much.
She likes to share, especially food.
In her past life, she would cook all kinds of delicious food every week. For her, cooking was another way to relieve stress besides boxing. She could find joy simply in making, tasting, and sharing food.
"Lu Ze, have a taste." Yu Yao took one and handed it to Lu Ze.
Lu Ze took it, peeled off the skin, and put it in his mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Yu Yao asked with a smile when she saw his furrowed brows relax.
Just as Lu Ze was about to tell Yu Yao that it was indeed very sweet, he saw Yu Yao place the entire aluminum lunchbox in front of Wu Huaiqing and extend a bright smile as she invited him.
"Comrade Wu, you should try some too. Aunt Ge's grapes are a different variety from other people's. You've definitely never tasted them before."
He only got one, but Wu Huaiqing got the whole aluminum lunchbox.
Lu Ze suddenly felt that the grapes in his mouth were no longer so sweet.
Seeing that he had finished one and hadn't taken another, Yu Yao asked, "Wasn't it good?"
Lu Ze said calmly, "It's a little sour."
"Sour? No way, I just ate some sweet ones." Yu Yao took another one to try, this time she deliberately chose the same bunch. After finishing, she picked a few more from the bunch and handed them to Lu Ze: "Try this one, it's sweet."
Lu Ze silently accepted the grapes that Yu Yao had specially picked for him, peeled them, put them in his mouth, glanced at Wu Huaiqing intentionally or unintentionally, and replied, "These are indeed sweet."
Wu Huaiqing was completely oblivious to Lu Ze's gaze, as she was lost in the excitement of finding her sister.
These are grapes his sister gave him.
Since his parents passed away when he was five years old, he was taken in by his aunt and uncle, who raised him.
To him, his uncle and aunt were like his biological parents, and their daughter was naturally his sister.
Wu Huaiqing ate the sweet grapes, his eyes slightly moist.
If his aunt and uncle knew he had found his sister, they would be overjoyed.
Now only the last step remains.
Once it's confirmed that Yu Yao also has a red mole on her arm, then she must be the missing younger sister.
While eating grapes, Wu Huaiqing said casually, "Comrade Yu, when you gave me the grapes just now, I think I saw a red mole on your hand."
Ever since realizing that Wu Huaiqing might be interested in Yu Yao, Lu Ze had been keeping an eye on his reactions. Now, seeing him trying to make conversation and get closer to Yu Yao, he was surprised.
He became increasingly certain of his suspicions.
"A red mole?" Yu Yao was puzzled at first, but after realizing what she meant, she smiled and said, "I don't have any moles on my arms. What you're seeing is probably a scar on my hand."
This scar was caused by sparks from an explosion when the original owner was roasting sparrows at the mountain god's temple a while ago because she was extremely hungry. It's already starting to grow back.
The pinkish-red scar is very small and can easily be mistaken for something else.
"A scar? How could it be a scar?" Wu Huaiqing was somewhat unwilling to believe it.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Yu Yao slightly lifted her short sleeve to reveal her elbow. "Is this what you mean? This is where I got burned by a spark. Now that you mention it, the scar does look a bit like a mole."
It's a scar.
It's a scar, not a mole!
Wu Huaiqing stood there stunned. The scar was like a bolt from the blue, shattering his excitement and joy.
His face was stiff, and with a last glimmer of hope, he pressed on, "Comrade Yu, is it possible that there was indeed a red mole in this spot before it was burned? Maybe it was just covered by a scar."
Lu Ze didn't understand why Wu Huaiqing suddenly looked so devastated.
His expression was somewhat strange, as if he were confirming something.
Yu Yao and Lu Ze had similar thoughts; they both felt that Wu Huaiqing was somewhat strange.
Despite this, she answered his questions truthfully.
"What you're talking about might not exist. I remember very clearly that I don't have a red mole on my arm." Indeed, the original owner's memories did not include this thing.
How could she not be the younger sister if she doesn't have a red mole?
Yu Yao clearly looks so much like her aunt.
Wu Huaiqing was deeply affected, and his spirits were greatly diminished.
Is all of this just a coincidence?
Over the years, while traveling all over the country to find people, I have indeed encountered people who look very similar to me but are not related by blood at all.
There's no reason why Yu Yao couldn't be in this situation.
Therefore, Yu Yao may not be the younger sister at all.
He contacted the wrong person again.
Wu Huaiqing was as joyful as he was before, and now he is just as frustrated.
Yu Yao and Lu Ze exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with curiosity and worry.
"Comrade Wu? Are you alright?"
