Chapter 31 - I'm Such A Pitiful Kid

Xing Jiuan had experienced breaking ties with Mu Qing. She had experienced her friends and family distancing themselves from her one by one, and she had gone from being loved by everyone to being alone. Therefore, she was afraid.

Perhaps it was because she was really smart and had a good memory. Even when she was abandoned at three years old, the memory of her being alone for those few days and nights became clearer to her after her rebirth.

She had experienced being abandoned and having her ties broken off. Those unforgettable memories had frightened her, made her wary, and made her cautious.

Even though she knew that the current Mu Qing had not changed and even after she had talked to the Master, she was still timid.

She was timid because she cared too much.

"Master, I'm a little scared." Mu Qing's voice was very soft.

"I'm already used to taking care of Jiuan. If she really doesn't need me anymore, I don't know what to do."

Master could not say anything else. He could only console him with his feeble words and wait for Xing Jiuan to think things through.

After hanging up, the Master was no longer sleepy. The moonlight was bright outside. He walked out and found a place to sit down, staying up for the whole night.

…

Xing Jiuan had a dream. When she woke up, she looked around in a daze and suddenly remembered that she was still only nineteen years old.

She knew that she had changed a lot, but it was not that easy to return to how she really was when she was nineteen.

It was still early. Mu Qing would usually call her for breakfast at around 8 AM. It was only 6 AM now, but she couldn't fall asleep.

She couldn't help but think of Lu Zhichen from last night.

In her previous life, Xing Jiuan and Lu Zhichen were strangers. Lu Zhichen did not care about Huo Chulan. Although he had collaborated with the Huo family, he did not care much about the Huo family's matters.

Xing Jiuan kept an extremely low profile after she returned to the Huo family. However, there were many people in the circle who knew about her identity. After all, this was such a big matter, and the Huo family was that kind of family.

However, the Huo family liked Huo Chulan more. They didn't even care much about Xing Jiuan, whom they had just found, let alone announce her identity.

Even though everyone knew the truth, there was not a single banquet where the Huo family introduced Xing Jiuan openly.

She had been so protected and pampered by her master, senior brothers, and senior sisters, but Xing Jiuan knew she had degraded herself. She knew that most of her pain in her previous life was because of her own self.

No one else could be blamed.

Her phone suddenly rang. A new friend had added her on WeChat.

The name was Su Yize, her junior brother.

She accepted the request and received a message from him.

He first greeted her obediently before sending another message over.

[Little Junior Brother: Senior Sister, I'm going back to the capital soon. Can Senior Sister receive me?]

There was an especially cute emoji attached at the end.

Xing Jiuan moved her fingers and sent an acknowledgment.

In her previous life, she did not even know of this little junior brother's existence.

She didn't participate in the race last night either.

It seemed like everything had really changed.

Perhaps it had already changed.

Su Yize replied with a happy emoji and thanked his senior sister before turning to the Master, who was sitting next to him.

"Master, Little Senior Sister agreed."

"Then pack up and prepare to leave."

Su Yize was dumbfounded. "Master, I haven't eaten yet."

"So troublesome." The Master stood up. "Cook some noodles yourself. Leave after you're done.

"Your eldest senior brother has already made arrangements for you."

Su Yize checked his phone and saw that Xing Jiuan hadn't replied. He sighed.. "I'm such a pitiful kid."
