Chapter 6: Growing Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The tears that Madam Huo had been holding back finally fell. The four of them felt depressed as Huo Jun held her in his arms.

“Let’s go back first. We’ll do this slowly,” Huo Jun said in a low voice. Madam Huo nodded her head gently and looked up again with reluctance.

When they reached the entrance of the district, Huo Jun paused. “Jinyuan, think of a way to buy a house here.

“Don’t buy from the same building as Yanyan.”

The houses here had all been sold a long time ago and there were no empty apartments. If they really wanted to buy someone else’s house, they had to think of a way.

After all, no one would be willing to give up the home they had been living in for a long time.

“Okay,” the eldest brother of the Huo family replied.

The driver was waiting outside. There were two cars as they’d originally thought that they could bring Xing Jiuan back. They’d even argued for a while over which car Xing Jiuan would take.

However, there was still the same number of people when they left as when they came.

At this moment, in a car parked not far away, someone spoke to the person beside him.

“Ninth Master, that looks like the Huo family.”

Hearing this, the young man looked outside the car.

He seemed very young. He turned his head away after a casual glance. “Don’t mind them.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s leave.”

The driver at the front started the car and drove away.

…

Xing Jiuan packed up a little, changed her clothes, and walked out.

The security in this district was not good. Even the security guards did not care who entered. There were many people coming and going, and it was quite lively.

In her previous life, Xing Jiuan rarely came back here after returning to the Huo family.

As she looked at the grass and the trees here again, it felt to her like a lifetime had passed.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Xing Jiuan looked at the caller ID and had the urge to cry.

Before she died, she’d been waiting for an answer. But in the end, it didn’t come.

Now that she was starting all over again, they were back to how they were.

She answered the call and greeted, “Senior Brother.”

“Why are you so obedient all of a sudden today?” the person on the other end asked with a smile.

Xing Jiuan pursed her lips. “I’ve grown up.”

Perhaps it was because she was on the phone, but the emotions in her voice were hard to distinguish. Mu Qing continued, “We’ve already reached the capital and will be looking for you soon. Where are you now?”

“…I’m going out to eat.”

“You haven’t eaten yet?”

“Yes, I just woke up.”

“Well, go have your meal first, then go to Nan Xun later.”

Nan Xun was a teahouse. It was a quiet place where they would occasionally drop by.

“Alright,” Xing Jiuan replied before hanging up.

There was a breakfast restaurant nearby. It was operated by an old couple and their food was delicious. When Xing Jiuan lived here, she would often go there for breakfast.

After ordering a bowl of congee and a tea egg, she sat in a remote corner and slowly ate her breakfast.

Up until now, she still felt like everything was a little unreal. She had actually been reborn!

She had lived a muddleheaded life for more than two years. Her life had been completely upturned, making a mess out of a hand of good cards. In the end, she even died alone. She had thought that that was the end. Although it was one full of regrets, she still once had a good life.

Now that everything was starting over, Xing Jiuan thought that she should never be like how she was in her previous lifetime.

After breakfast, she decided to buy some fruits since it was still early.

It was hot in the summer. Even though it was still morning, the heat was unbearable. Xing Jiuan looked up at the sun. It was so bright that it was blinding. She curled her lips and smiled happily.

The owner of the fruit store was a very gentle older sister. Xing Jiuan had bought fruits a few times before, and she would always see her patiently tutoring her child.

The fruits here were fresh and affordable. Therefore, the business was good.

“Jiuan, are you here to buy fruits?” Upon seeing her enter, the boss walked over and smiled gently at her.

“Yeah.” Xing Jiuan walked over. “Sister Lin, I want to buy some strawberries and watermelon.”

“You came at the right time. The strawberries just arrived and they are especially fresh.” Sister Lin brought her over and took out the newly arrived strawberries. “Choose them yourself.”

Xing Jiuan lowered her head and began picking strawberries.
