"Mr. President, long time no see. What brings you here so late at night?" asked an old man with gray hair, who was about sixty or seventy years old, while sitting on the sofa.

"I want you to help me find someone. There's a girl in the 16th grade of Jincheng Middle School who is very good at dancing. Her stage name seems to be Peony."

"Many students in the 16th grade of Jincheng Middle School have used this stage name. It can be said that the peony is a symbol of ability. Whoever is popular will be named Peony. In that class, different students would use this stage name almost every week. In a year, there were probably to students using this stage name."

"So it's like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

"It's almost the same as this, but you can tell me some other characteristics of the person you're looking for."

"When Jincheng Middle School held a thank-you banquet for investors, that student led the dance and performed "Song of Everlasting Regret"

"Let me think about it. There are 16 female students in the 10th grade who have danced this dance, and 5 people have led the dance at the thank-you banquet. The scope has been greatly narrowed."

"Is there a photo of them so I can recognize them?"

"The photos may be hard to find. They have been filed away. A new principal has been appointed and the archives room has been demolished."

"Do you know their respective names?"

"As the head of the logistics department, I manage about 5,000 different students every year, unless there is a student who particularly impresses me."

The old man that Si Han was meeting was his friend regardless of age difference, who had been working in logistics at Jincheng Middle School. He had thought that the people in the logistics department might not know the female student, but in order to find the girl as soon as possible, he had to try to ask.

The results were not as expected.

Si Han said goodbye to the old man and unconsciously walked to the back door of Jincheng Middle School, where he found someone climbing over the wall of the school.

It is too dangerous late at night. If something happens, it will be very painful for the students and their families.

So Si Han stepped forward and grabbed the student by the collar, "I have taken a picture of the evidence of climbing over the wall. If you don't want the teacher to know, just go back the way you came."

The male student turned around and was about to scold the nosy person who caught him, "...sister...brother-in-law."

"Who are you?" Si Han was convinced that he did not know this student.

"I'm Wang Chen, Wang Shu's younger brother."

Si Han, who accompanied Wang Shu back to her parents' home, did not pay much attention to his brother-in-law. He had some impression of him, but when things became more complicated, he forgot what his brother-in-law looked like.

"Whoever you are, what are you doing so late at night?"

"Brother-in-law, the school is under a closed management system. They won't even let me play games, so I have to sneak out at night."

"That's for your own good. It's too dangerous at night."

"Brother-in-law, don't tell my parents and my sister, just let me have a good time."

"Don't even think about it. It's your bad luck to meet me." Si Han called and woke up Wang Shu who was sleeping.

"what happened?"

"Do you care about your brother climbing over the wall from school to play games in the middle of the night?" Si Han asked in a cold voice.

"What? Are you dreaming and talking nonsense? How do you know what my brother is doing in the middle of the night?" Wang Shu was so sleepy that she hung up the phone.

"beep...beep...beep"

"Brother-in-law, please don't bother me." Wang Chen still had a lucky mentality.

"I will call the principal right now and ask him to discipline the rebellious students so that they won't have any problems and I will regret it later."

"Oh, I'm so unlucky that I have to meet you." Wang Chen wanted to die. If his parents knew about it, it would overturn the image of him as a good son in their hearts. What if his sister took away his parents' love?

With a thud, Wang Chen knelt in front of Si Han and said, "Brother-in-law, please don't tell the principal. Please keep it a secret for me."

"and then?"

"As long as you promise not to tell anyone about this, I will return to school the same way I came."

"and then?"

"And then? Then I can fulfill one of your requests."

"What can you do for me, little brat?"

"Tell me."

"How about you help me find a female student in grade 16 who danced the classical dance "Song of Everlasting Regret" and whose stage name is Peony.

"Don't joke, brother-in-law. Grade 16 was a long time ago. Why don't you ask my sister? She is a student of Grade 16 at Jincheng Middle School. So why are you asking about this girl?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Hurry up and turn the page."

"Okay, remember to keep it a secret." Wang Chen, who had done nothing, had to climb over the wall and return to school.

At breakfast the next day, Si Han asked, "Are you a student in the 16th grade of Jincheng Middle School?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? I was just wondering what you dreamed about last night. You said my brother climbed over the wall."

"That's not important. What's important is whether you know the dancer from the 16th class whose stage name is Mudan."

"Yes, I know her. There are many peonies. I have danced with her before. Why are you asking?"

"Can you still dance?"

"Are you surprised? It's really new. I've been learning to dance since I was a kid, and I'm pretty good at it."

"Song of Everlasting Sorrow"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll skip this."

"You jumped too? When?"

"I have been dancing this dance since I was a kid, and I have been dancing this dance for more than ten years."

"Did you skip at Jincheng Middle School?" Si Han asked again.

From midnight yesterday to this morning, Si Han kept asking irrelevant questions, as if he was interrogating a criminal. Wang Shu didn't want to answer anymore, so she said, "So what if I danced before? So what if I didn't? I've danced so many times that I can't even remember if I danced this one before."

"Think about it carefully."

"It seems like every dancer in our class called Peony has danced this dance, which really tests basic skills."

The clue was broken again, but Si Han was not discouraged. "Think about it carefully. One time, Universal Group donated money to Jincheng Middle School as a sponsor, and some students performed this dance at the thank-you banquet."

Wang Shu certainly remembered that the school attached great importance to a large company like Universal Group. She was carefully selected from more than 40 students as the lead dancer to perform "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". She still couldn't forget the sharp look of the president of Universal Group. But what about Guan Sihan? Why was he so curious?

"No, why ask these questions?"

"It's very important. I can't tell you now."

"Okay, I don't remember. Let's see if I can remember it later." Since Si Han was hiding something from her, there was no need for her to tell him everything.

"Okay, tell me as soon as you remember."

"You haven't answered my question yet? Why did you dream about Wang Chen last night?"

"Maybe I'm thinking about him subconsciously. By the way, when is Wang Chen's birthday?"

"Bullshit, what are two people who have nothing in common thinking about? I almost forgot that Wang Chenqiu's birthday is this week."

"We have to celebrate his birthday."

"No need, my dad will arrange it. If he invites me, I'll go. If he doesn't, forget it."

Si Han didn't want to interfere too much in Wang Shu's family affairs. As a contracted brother-in-law, he had done his best to keep a secret for his brother-in-law.

Wang Shu, who had just come downstairs after cleaning up, saw Liang Haoyu standing at the entrance of the community waiting.

Just as she was about to go out through the back door, Liang Haoyu shouted, "Wang Shu! I saw you."
