"You’re really unfilial."

If she had parents like that, she’d definitely come home every day.

Because she didn’t have them, she craved it more. Whereas having it, because she was used to it, she didn’t know to cherish it.

"If you like it, then after we get married, we can move back and live here," Lan Shao deliberately said.

"No, I still don’t want to." Fan Rou decisively refused.

"Why? Are you scared?"

She knew he would say that. Actually, she didn’t like the idea either, right?

"It’s not fear; I just find it too troublesome. Look, today’s breakfast was made by your mom, and if we live with her, wouldn’t she have to get up every day to make breakfast for us?"

Asking her to do it occasionally wouldn’t matter, but having to make breakfast for so many people every day might be too much for her to sustain.

After all, she’s not exactly a very diligent person.

Fan Rou’s words made Lan Shao ponder deeply.

"I just think that when people get old, they want their children to be around them. We’re not very far from them, so we can often go back and visit. If we go back once or twice a week, they’d be happy."

Don’t wait until the elderly are gone to regret and wish to accompany them.

By then, it’ll be too late.

"You’re right, we’ll come back often in the future," Lan Shao said with a face full of guilt.

"Okay."

Actually, Fan Rou didn’t say it, but she’s very envious of him having loving parents.

Such ordinary familial love, yet it’s something she doesn’t dare to dream of.

She hopes she can integrate into this family in the future, and she hopes they can accept her.

Days passed like this for a month.

Fan Rou gathered her courage, stood in front of the mirror, took a deep breath, and began to slowly unbutton her shirt.

The clothes fell to the ground, and she wasn’t wearing any underwear, just standing there bare to the waist in front of the mirror.

After taking a deep breath, Fan Rou raised her head.

There were mirrors on both sides of her, so she could clearly see her back.

The three long scars running across her back were still clear; the others had faded a bit.

Fan Rou didn’t want to look anymore and quickly put her clothes back on.

Then she went to find Ye Ranran.

Ye Ranran was flying a kite with Jun Xiaobao in the garden. Seeing her approach, she gave the kite to Jun Xiaobao and walked towards her.

"How come you have time to find me today?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Ranran, can you help me ask Shen Yuzhe if there’s any way to remove the scars on my back?"

"Shen Yuzhe has gone to the countryside. If you’d said earlier, he just left yesterday," Ye Ranran looked at her with sympathy.

"Why did he go to the countryside for no reason?" Is he just bored?

"I heard his grandfather passed away. He needs to go back for a few days, but he might not return soon."

"Why?"

Ye Ranran rolled her eyes at her: "At his age, without a girlfriend, don’t his family nag him? Maybe they’ve already arranged a woman for him."

"But isn’t his family dealing with a funeral?"

Thinking of marriage at a time like this, isn’t it just bizarre?

"After the funeral, there’s the wedding. Though it’s early, they can start talking first."

There’s no requirement to get married immediately; they can start dating first.

They can date for more than a year and then get married.

Fan Rou looked full of sorrow: "Ah, so won’t he take a long time to come back?"

"I don’t know, maybe it’ll be one or two months?"

She has nothing much going on now, her health is good, and he hasn’t taken a vacation for a long time, so requesting some time off is perfectly reasonable.
