Extra·Final Chapter
Over the weekend, Yun Shengsheng went to the Xuan family villa with her grandmother again.
She clutched her grandmother's clothes, her palms sweaty.
This is the eighth time; they come every Sunday, rain or shine.
Grandma thought she liked the Xuan family's big house and the snacks Xuan Yunze gave her.
But in reality, all she wanted to know was whether Xuan Yunze was Yan Shijin.
The two people look so alike.
But Xuan Yunze's gaze towards her was strange.
There was not a trace of familiarity.
So she considered two possibilities.
The first possibility is that Xuan Yunze and Yan Shijin are not related, but just look alike.
There are plenty of people in this world who look alike.
The second possibility is that Xuan Yunze is Yan Shijin, but he has no memories of his previous life.
She decided to test the waters.
The first thing is to eat.
Yan Shijin did not like sweets.
Ke Xuanyunze's room was filled with candy, chocolate and pastries.
The second thing is moles.
Yan Shijin has a small pink mole on the inside of her left thumb.
As Xuan Yunze reached out to hand something over, she flipped his hand over and found that the inside of his left thumb was clean and bare.
The third thing is personality.
Yan Shijin was taciturn and rarely smiled, only showing some warmth when he was with her.
Moreover, they always keep their distance from outsiders and cannot get close to them.
Ke Xuan Yunze is a cheerful child who smiles at everyone he meets. He is gentle, polite, and knows how to behave appropriately. He is the kind of child that elders would praise.
She even pretended to fall and pounced on him, almost causing him to fall as well.
After he helped her up, he didn't blame her. Instead, he asked her if she was hurt.
All these factors combined make Xuan Yunze and Yan Shijin different.
But Yun Shengsheng discovered something else.
Xuan Yunze reads books in exactly the same way as Yan Shijin.
When they stand, their right hand is always loosely clenched, as if they are holding something.
They would also occasionally tap the table with their fingers.
She thought about these details over and over again, but she still couldn't figure it out.
She was very conflicted.
On the one hand, they felt that Xuan Yunze was not Yan Shijin, but just someone who looked like him.
This made her feel very uncomfortable, as if someone had replaced Yan Shijin.
On the other hand, she was also worried that if Xuan Yunze was actually Yan Shijin, would she still be able to be with him...?
……
On another Sunday, she walked into the Xuan family's living room and froze on the spot.
Three children, about the same age as Xuan Yunze, were sitting on the sofa.
In the very center stood a young girl, her chin slightly raised, arms crossed, legs crossed, exuding an air of dominance.
To her left sat a handsome and gentle young man, flipping through a picture book.
Standing to the right was a tall, handsome young man, standing straight by the window like a spear.
Yun Shengsheng stared at the three of them, her mind going blank.
[Holy crap, it's Princess Yongjia with Linlang and Muyu!!!]
Three identical faces.
Especially that girl, with that arrogant demeanor, she was just like a child version of Princess Yongjia.
The three children were dressed in expensive clothes and wore custom-made shoes, clearly indicating that they came from a wealthy family.
Yun Shengsheng was still in shock and hadn't reacted when the little girl spoke.
"Cousin, who is this little girl?"
Gan Rong was a little unhappy with the way the other person addressed her. She shielded Yun Shengsheng behind her and said to Xuan Yunze, "Yunze, if you have something to do today, Shengsheng and I will go back first."
"We'll come again next week."
Xuan Yunze walked over with a smile: "Teacher Gan, you've misunderstood. I'm fine today. Let's continue the tutoring."
Gan Rong frowned and looked at the people on the sofa.
Xuan Yunze explained, "They are the children of my relatives, and they also live nearby."
"I come over for a visit occasionally. I'll head back soon."
After he finished speaking, he turned to the three people behind him and said, "Jiajia, Xiaoyu, Xiaolin, you guys go back first, I need to go to my tutoring class."
Jiajia was clearly unhappy, hands on her hips, and said, "Cousin, we just arrived, and you're already kicking us out!"
Xuan Yunze remained unmoved: "I still have classes. Or do you need tutoring too?"
Xiaoyu quickly tugged at Jiajia's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go, or Auntie will catch us. She really wants us to go to class with my cousin!"
"It's finally the weekend, and I don't want to have extra classes."
Kobayashi nodded, his voice cool and detached: "Yes, let's go!"
Jiajia nodded dejectedly, then walked away with her chin held high in a haughty manner.
As she passed Yun Shengsheng, she suddenly stopped and stared at her with a frown.
"Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Jiajia tilted her head. "It feels kind of familiar."
Yun Shengsheng felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Sister Jiajia, I also feel like we know each other very well. I guess it's because you're so beautiful!"
Jiajia blushed instantly when she heard her say that.
She coughed lightly, turned her face away, and said stubbornly, "Okay, let's hang out sometime. I'll protect you!"
Yun Shengsheng nodded with a smile, "Okay, Sister Jiajia!"
After the three children left, the living room became quiet.
Gan Rong was about to go upstairs to the study, but Yun Shengsheng did not follow him this time.
She said she wanted to watch TV, and Gan Rong went upstairs without thinking much about it.
Xuan Yunze placed a plate of fruit and a plate of snacks in front of her.
Strawberries, blueberries, diced apples, and a dish of butter cookies were neatly arranged.
"Sheng Sheng, if you're bored, just turn on the TV and watch something. Don't be shy."
Yun Shengsheng looked into his eyes and nodded.
Xuan Yunze smiled and went upstairs as well.
After the footsteps disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Yun Shengsheng sat alone in the corner of the sofa, her eyes filled with helplessness.
There's no need to investigate further.
Princess Yongjia, Linlang, and Muyu—the three of them are all here.
If Xuan Yunze is not Yan Shijin, why are these three children his relatives?
If it's a coincidence, then what else in this world is a coincidence?
Xuan Yunze is the rebirth of Yan Shijin.
She leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, her mind in turmoil.
Her boss, her husband, her... people she's been entangled with since her past lives.
It turns out it was the same person from beginning to end...
After that day, Yun Shengsheng stopped going with her grandmother to tutor Xuan Yunze.
Yun Shengsheng chose to go home with her mother.
Her parents are currently having a cold war.
The two sat at the table in silence, and even the sound of their chopsticks hitting their bowls seemed jarring.
Yun Shengsheng buried her head in her rice and went back to her room to stay alone after finishing.
That night, in the middle of the night, she heard her parents arguing.
First came the hushed accusations, followed by the sound of things being smashed, crashing and banging, like dishes breaking on the floor.
Her mother's sobs drifted in through the door, intermittent and broken.
Yun Shengsheng silently turned over, facing away from the door, and covered her head with a pillow.
I wanted to fall asleep, but I just couldn't.
They argued so fiercely, each word aimed at the other's most sensitive spot.
Her father said, "You're always out socializing, and you don't even take care of the kids."
Her mother said, "Have you ever cared? You don't even know which kindergarten she attends."
Then came an even louder slamming of the door, her mother's crying, and her father's cursing.
Yun Shengsheng blinked, staring at the moonlight on the curtains in the darkness.
Should she try to stop her parents from divorcing in this lifetime?
Or, from this point on, should we try to stop our parents from having an affair?
If this is stopped, will their family be able to make peace again?
She shook her head, amused, at the end.
How could that be?
Her parents now loathe each other, and even if they were forcibly tied together, neither of them would be happy.
She suffered along with them.
It would be better to just let them get a divorce.
After the divorce, she could live with her grandmother, peacefully and cleanly.
But in this life, she won't be as easily fooled as she was in the last.
After her parents divorced in her previous life, they delayed paying the agreed-upon child support, so she lived a hard life with her grandmother. She started working odd jobs in high school and worked part-time while studying in college.
Not in this lifetime. If they want a divorce, they have to pay their monthly alimony on time.
Not a penny less, not a day less.
She couldn't be as foolish as she was in her previous life, spending all the money she had painstakingly saved on food and drinks for her friends.
She's going to save this up and invest it!
The next evening, the parents started arguing again.
This time it was even fiercer than the day before.
Yun Shengsheng looked at them calmly.
"If we can't make it work, let's get a divorce..."
The living room fell silent instantly.
Her mother's mouth was open, tears streaming down her face, which she forgot to wipe away.
Her father's hand, holding a cigarette, froze in mid-air, not even noticing the ash falling to the floor.
"But I have one request."
"If you get divorced, I won't live with either of you. I want to stay with my grandmother."
"And also," Yun Shengsheng held up two fingers, "my child support payments are split equally between you two. They need to be deposited into Grandma's account on time every month. If you're short even a penny, I'll sue you in court..."
……

……
over……

Hehe: I hope everyone has a good National Day holiday!
