"Luoluo, why do I feel something’s not right? Given Old Man Qian’s level, he shouldn’t be so low-ranked, right?" Zhu Hongyu had a different view on the Qian family’s matters.
"I also think the Qian family shouldn’t use such a low rank, but who could threaten them? And who would dare to impersonate them?" Luo Ye glanced at Granny, noticing her craning her neck, mouth slightly open, straining to hear but getting frustrated from not being able to, which made her want to scratch the wall. Luo Ye smiled and lay back down, "Sleep, the elderly can’t stay up late."
Luo Ye used to think Great Grandpa and Ah Hua and Aji were the typical old kids, but now she realized, the real typical ones were right here!
Ying Nuo stifled a laugh and turned off the light, Granny lay back with some disappointment, "Going to sleep already?"
"Sleep, I’ll chat with you again tomorrow." Ying Nuo whispered in her ear and tucked her in.
Over half an hour later, snoring began to rhythmically rise and fall.
"Luoluo, you’re not asleep, right?" Ying Nuo nudged Luo Ye, who was beside her.
"No, I’m not. Move a bit closer, don’t wake the old lady." Luo Ye said as she shoved a bit towards Zhu Hongyu.
"I’ll join you under the blanket." Ying Nuo crawled out from her own blanket and squeezed into Luo Ye’s, "Luoluo, do you ever miss the days of senior year in high school?"
"Yes." Luo Ye replied, gently patting Ying Nuo.
She could understand Ying Nuo’s feelings; to her, Ying Nuo was just as much a cherished friend in life.
Ying Nuo sighed lightly and continued, "Sometimes, I think how great it would be if time could turn back, or if I could live again..."
Luo Ye felt a sudden jolt in her heart, she truly wanted to tell her, "Silly girl, time really can turn back, people really can live again, it’s because of that I know how precious you are."
Unfortunately, this was something she could never say out loud. In fact, she wasn’t sure herself whether she had lived again or arrived in another parallel world.
Up until now, some things have indeed changed, so inevitably the path ahead will be different too. In a certain sense, this world is no longer the world she once knew.
"Luoluo... Luoluo... fell asleep so quickly?"
"Oh, no." Luo Ye quickly pulled back her thoughts, driving away all the ideas swirling in her head. Whether this was a parallel space or a relived life, she vowed to cherish the people around her, live better, and make sure her family and friends live better too, and that’s enough!
"Didn’t you hear me talking?" Ying Nuo’s voice sounded a bit disappointed.
Luo Ye quickly said, "No, it’s just when you mentioned turning back time and living again, I thought of how we’d always study together during senior year, sometimes at your place, sometimes at mine. It feels... really good."
"Yeah, I really miss those days." Ying Nuo’s voice perked up again, "Even though the coursework was tiring back then, it was truly joyful.
I actually often regret now, why didn’t I try applying to military school, or why wasn’t I admitted? Besides, I could have applied directly to Sha City S University instead, but why was I so brainless back then?
Luoluo, you don’t know, seeing you so close to Star Manipulating Moonlight’s Tang Luo, I was really envious, clearly, you and I are the best of friends, yet..."
Zhu Hongyu interjected with resignation, "Nuonuo, did you tuck the old lady in just to reminisce about the past and get jealous?"
"Ugh, who’s jealous!" Ying Nuo, cut off mid-sentence, was extremely annoyed, her voice involuntarily rose several decibels, Luo Ye quickly patted her, "Keep your voice down, keep it down."
"Let’s get down to the main topic now, Ying Nuo, explain the details about the Xia who approached your dad."
"What gives you the right to order me around?" Ying Nuo was quite displeased with Zhu Hongyu’s condescending attitude and turned away, ignoring her.
Zhu Hongyu chuckled, "Alright, alright, don’t get mad, missy. I didn’t mean to order you around, I’m quite a bit older than you and Luo Ye. Watching you two busy reminiscing about the past and neglecting the important stuff, I couldn’t help but step in like a big sister to remind you.
Think about it, if I had that kind of attitude, with Luo Ye’s proud and stubborn nature, how would she agree to work with me? And why would she bring me to her brother’s place?"
"Nuonuo, what Sister Hong Yu said is true. She’s straightforward, sometimes unconsciously acting like the big sister. If you get to know her, you’ll realize that she’s pretty much like a silly big sister, and she fits in well with us."
