On this day, Cui Wenyan was watching the shop while doing homework.

The bell at the door rang, and Cui Wenyan looked up to see Bai Yue walking in.

"Master Cui." Bai Yue entered with a smile.

"Don’t call me Master Cui, it’s too embarrassing." Cui Wenyan laughed heartily and waved her hand, speaking very sheepishly.

"Then, Sister Cui." Bai Yue laughed as well, "Although I’m much older than you, I still call you Sister Cui out of respect."

Cui Wenyan was a bit awkward, it was true. Although Bai Yue looked eight or nine years old in appearance, she was actually much older.

"Have a seat. What would you like to drink? Ice water, ice cola, or juice? Is it hot outside?" Cui Wenyan got up to get a drink.

"I’d like an ice cola. At home, my uncle doesn’t allow me to drink it, saying it’s bad for our hair." Bai Yue looked at Cui Wenyan eagerly, "Is it okay? Just this once."

"Sure, sure, it’s okay to indulge once in a while." Cui Wenyan took a bottle of cola from the mini-fridge for Bai Yue and handed it to her.

"The ancestor asked me to bring you this pastry. It’s mung bean cake we made ourselves, very delicious and refreshing." Bai Yue placed several boxes on the table.

"Thank you so much. You’re too kind." Cui Wenyan expressed her gratitude, "Are you all getting used to it now?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"We’ve gotten used to it. The ancestor has been studying every day at home recently because when school starts, if he can’t keep up with Liang Bing, he’ll end up being what you humans call a ’study slacker.’ That would not be good." Bai Yue replied earnestly.

Cui Wenyan chuckled awkwardly. She used to be a ’study slacker’ herself, the last place in the entire class! An unshakeable position. She understood the struggles of being a slacker and so fully supported Mu Rou’s studies.

"Do you have a mobile phone? Yes? Well then, let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll send you a link, and you can let your ancestor buy these study materials." Cui Wenyan took out her phone, added Bai Yue on WeChat, and then sent her a link.

Bai Yue nodded repeatedly, sat for a while longer, and then said her goodbyes to Cui Wenyan before heading home.

Before leaving for an academic seminar, Wu Yihao came to find Cui Wenyan.

"The construction at Liang Bing’s house is starting again. Are you free next month? Let’s go play together." Wu Yihao enthusiastically pulled out a flyer and handed it to Cui Wenyan.

"I’m not free. Next month, my master and I are going out. Not sure when we’ll be back." Cui Wenyan took the flyer, glanced at it, and was speechless.

Because the flyer was about a new haunted house that had just opened.

"I see you really like seeking thrills." Cui Wenyan returned the flyer to Wu Yihao grumpily, "But I’m warning you, you can have fun with these haunted houses, they can be entertaining. But don’t mess with certain places. Like that villa last time, or that village. You know the saying ’those who mess around won’t survive.’"

"Don’t worry, not anymore." Having gone through this experience, Wu Yihao knew that some things really did exist, so he couldn’t just ignore them like before, "Even if I want to go, I’ll call you along. Oh, do you still have that peace charm from last time? Can you sell me a few more?"

"I have one left. Last time you each bought one, this is the last one, do you want it?" Cui Wenyan took out the last peace charm and asked.

"Of course, of course." Wu Yihao snatched it and took out his phone, transferring fifty thousand to Cui Wenyan on WeChat, and put the peace charm in his pocket, "Good stuff, the more the better. I’m giving it to my dad, I’m very filial, you know."
