Teito University.

In the cafe, the astringent coffee liquid flowed into Song Lanruo's throat, and she soon regretted it. This cup of iced Americano was simply more bitter than her life.

She looked around boredly and saw only one couple after another making love to each other.

Finally, when there was only half a glass of ice left in the glass, a girl in a white dress pushed the door in, ending Song Lanruo's twenty-five minutes of torture.

Chu Yao sat opposite her, ordered a cup of black tea, and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Senior Yuwei dropped out of school. She said she was going to live abroad and might not come back in the future. She asked me to bring this to you." Song Lanruo took out a bookmark and placed it on the table.

The petals of magnolia are delicate and will be damaged when blown off by the wind, but this bookmark keeps the petals intact in the plastic layer, with a light fragrance sprayed on it, which is also the fragrance of magnolia.

Chu Yao's fingers crossed the front of the bookmark, and she knew that the reason why the Secret Service could get help from the Ji family was not entirely because Ji Shaocheng wanted to keep Ji Peishan.

Did Ji Yuwei already know something when she jumped into the sea that day, or was it an unintentional act?

Now that the dust has settled, the answer doesn't seem that important.

Chu Yao put away the bookmark, "You're looking for me for more than just this matter, right?"

"Yes, yes, nothing can be hidden from you, a Feng Shui master." Song Lanruo said in a pretentious tone, "That old woman who always makes things difficult for me, Teacher Lin, do you still remember it? I don't know what kind of style she has. Feng, let me ask if I can invite you to her home."

Chu Yao raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence. She had just been to Lin Panqiu's dance troupe yesterday, and today she thought of inviting herself as a guest?

She made a prediction, and the prediction pointed to the man she met backstage yesterday. He must have told Lin Panqiu about Chu Yao's visit to the dressing room.

But according to Lin Panqiu's old-fashioned and serious character, she should get angry when outsiders enter the background.

Kang Tongguang previously offered her generous offers just to meet Lin Zhen, but she sternly rejected them. Kang Tongguang had to bypass her and contact the deputy leader again.

Why was Lin Panqiu not only not angry at Chu Yao, but instead put on a warm invitation?

Chu Yao pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone else in her family? Would it be inconvenient for me to go?"

"She is single and has a niece living with her at home. However, her niece is only one or two years older than us, so there shouldn't be any inconvenience, right?" Song Lanruo conveyed Lin Panqiu's words to Chu Yao, "Besides, she It’s just that I think you are a match for me and I want to sit and chat with you. It’s really weird, why doesn’t she like me?”

The more Song Lanruo thought about it, the more puzzled she became. Lin Panqiu was usually aloof and wanted to look at people with his nostrils. Why did he seem to be a different person when facing Chu Yao?

She found herself today, and her attitude was even a bit humble and pleading.

Song Lanruo scratched the back of his head and asked tentatively: "She said she wanted me to accompany you. She didn't want to cut our waists, right?"

"Do you think she looks like someone who is short of money?" Chu Yao asked with a smile.

"Yes, she can earn several bucks from one performance." Song Lanruo stirred the ice cubes in the cup a few times with a straw, "Hey, are you going or not?"

"Go, why don't you go?" Chu Yao took a sip of hot tea. If he wanted to see Lin Zhen, going to Lin Panqiu's home was the most convenient way.

After receiving the text message from Song Lanruo, Lin Panqiu immediately got up and bought some fresh fruit.

Although she didn't know if Chu Yao would come back, she had cleaned up yesterday, and prepared snacks, snacks and drinks, which were neatly placed on the coffee table.

"Aunt, are there any guests coming today? You didn't tell me in advance." Lin Zhen said with a hint of complaint, "Otherwise, I came back yesterday to buy you some fruit on the way, so you don't have to be busy right now. That’s it.”

"That's different, that's different..." Lin Panqiu muttered as she put on exquisite makeup and changed into a dress.

She thought for a while, then wiped off all her makeup with a sad expression, only slightly covering the spots on her face.

"Xiao Zhen!" Lin Panqiu walked into Lin Zhen's bedroom in a hurry, "Do you still have the photo of the last time you performed "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"? Sign your name and give me two."

Lin Zhen's movements on her hands paused. Could it be that old man named Kang coming to pester her again?

She felt bored, and then she thought, her aunt hated these self-righteous people who were full of copper odor, and the things she prepared today were all liked by young people, so it couldn't be him.

Lin Zhen took out the photo album and took out two signed photos, "Here they are, Auntie, are these two photos enough?"

"enough."

Lin Panqiu prepared everything and straightened her hair in the mirror. She was no longer young, and the years had left two deep nasolabial lines on her face, as if to say "Keep strangers away."

She tried her best to put on a kind smile, but she always felt that everything looked strange.

It's not her fault. She has never played the role of a loving mother. When she faced Lin Zhen, she was also strict with her and rarely showed her gentle side.

The doorbell rang. Lin Panqiu stretched out the hem of his clothes, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

"You are here, come in quickly." Lin Panqiu smiled a little stiffly, and Song Lanruo felt that the hairs on her back were about to stand up.

She would rather Teacher Lin scolded her than see her charming smile again.

Chu Yao smiled and said: "Then I'll excuse you."

Seeing Chu Yuanyuan's maturity and stability beyond his peers, Lin Panqiu felt as if someone had grabbed her by the throat. There was only one sentence left in her mind - Look, she is having such a bad life, and it's all because of you. The sins committed are all your fault.

"You kid are too polite. I invited you to play, how can you say you are disturbing me?" Lin Panqiu said.

The three of them sat on the sofa. Song Lanruo could only look down at the phone screen. If she had known that the atmosphere was so awkward, she would not have come over.

Lin Panqiu picked a plump orange from the plate and handed it to Chu Yao, "Take it and eat it, Wanying, you eat it too. Are you thirsty all the way here? What do you want to drink?"

"Just boiled water, thank you." Chu Yao was also puzzled. Lin Panqiu's attitude towards her was so strange.

It's not like he is an elder or a teacher, but he seems to be asking for help from Chu Yao, so he has to keep his posture very low.

Song Lanruo also said: "Then I also want boiled water."

"Xiao Zhen, pour two glasses of warm water for the guests." Lin Panqiu called to Lin Zhen's bedroom.

"Here we come." Lin Zhen promised and walked out quickly.

Chu Yao looked at her without any trace, and found that there was no evil spirit on Lin Zhen's body, so she was definitely not an evil creature, and she spoke and walked just like ordinary people.

"Classmate Chu Yao, I heard from the dance troupe that you went to see the performance of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" yesterday. What a coincidence, Xiao Zhen is my niece." Lin Panqiu took out Lin Zhen's signed photo, "This is her signed photo. You can talk to her later."

After Chu Yao and Song Lanruo took the signed photos, they naturally thanked her.

The next second, Song Lanruo suddenly grasped Chu Yao's left hand tightly, glanced to the side in panic, and motioned for her to look up.

Lin Zhen, who was pouring water, turned her head around at some point. Her eyes were staring at Chu Yao and Song Lanruo, but her body remained facing away from them.
