Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

"You're angry right now, and all you can think about are his bad points. But what if you calm down and remember all the good things he's done for you? Would you forgive him then?"

"Su Su..." Ning Xiaojun looked at her pleadingly, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Oh, what's the big deal? If he finds someone new at school, he won't bother you anymore."

Su Fengnan only mentioned it briefly, without telling her the specifics of how to proceed. She was afraid that Ning Xiaojun would reconcile with Li Hua, and then the two of them wouldn't even be able to remain friends. Before Ning Xiaojun completely gave up on Li Hua, she didn't plan to interfere too much in her love life, but she would urge her to study hard, get into a good university together, and stay completely away from Li Hua.

"I'm just saying. As for what really happens between you and him, it's up to you. Anyway, if it were me, a man who cheats like that would be dead as soon as possible. I can't tolerate such infidelity."

"Once unfaithful, never trusted again. Once trusted, the consequences are endless."

Ning Xiaojun lowered her head and remained silent. Su Fengnan didn't say anything more; she had given all the necessary reminders, and the rest was up to her to figure out.

To ease the tension and interrupt Ning Xiaojun's reverie, Su Fengnan pulled her to sit down in the study and enthusiastically introduced her to the extracurricular books she was reading, the Buddhist scriptures she copied with a brush, and even shared her little secret about making money by writing novels.

When Ning Xiaojun first saw Su Fengnan like this, she felt somewhat dazed. How could Su Su have changed so much in just one holiday?

"Take whatever you want to see, don't be shy," Su Fengnan said generously, pointing to the bookshelf.

"Susu, your handwriting is so beautiful! I've never seen you practice calligraphy before. When did you learn it?" Ning Xiaojun exclaimed in amazement.

"I'm self-taught; I bought calligraphy practice books and practiced by copying them."

"Really? You can really write well by practicing like this?" Ning Xiaojun looked completely skeptical.

"Hmm, if you don't believe me, ask my sister." Su Fengnan lied with a straight face.

Ning Xiaojun turned to look at Su Fengxia, who was staring at the computer screen: "Little sister, is that so?"

"Yes, that's right." Su Fengxia nodded obediently. Actually, she didn't know when her sister suddenly learned to write; it seemed like she just naturally learned after buying paper and pens. In her heart, her sister was simply a genius.

Ning Xiaojun gave her a thumbs up in admiration: "You're amazing! What's the name of your novel that you write online? Tell me quickly, I'll go and give you a good review too!"

Su Fengnan paused the anime Su Fengxia was watching, logged onto the website, opened her book, and showed it to her. She said mysteriously, "If you're really interested, go back and read it on the computer at home. The views and methods I've outlined in this book on choosing the right partner will be very helpful for you when you look for someone in the future."

"Hey, why don't you give me a spoiler first?"

Su Fengnan raised her chin arrogantly: "No way. You want to slack off? No way! Didn't you say you'd give me a good review? I'm waiting for it. Besides, my time is precious too."

Ning Xiaojun, unwilling to give up, grabbed Su Fengnan's shoulder and shook her: "Hey, tell me about it, I'll definitely read it carefully when I get back!"

Su Fengnan couldn't escape her persistent pleading, so she gave a brief explanation of the power of genetic selection and refused to say anything more, telling her to go back and read the book herself.

Ning Xiaojun stayed at Su Fengnan's house until 8 PM before reluctantly leaving. Su Fengnan walked her downstairs, and as she left, Ning Xiaojun held her hand tightly, her eyes resolute, and said, "Su Su, thank you. When I come back for National Day, I'll definitely show you a different Ning Xiaojun."

Su Fengnan smiled gently: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Ning Xiaojun walked home alone, her mind filled with Su Fengnan's focus on her studies and her decisiveness in relationships. She even envied Su Fengnan's freedom to do whatever she wanted since her parents weren't around.

If Su Fengnan knew what she was thinking, she'd probably be incredibly upset. You see, children feel more confident when their parents are around! Who would willingly be separated from their family if not for the pressures of life?

To completely escape Li Hua's harassment, Ning Xiaojun made her decision on her way home. Early on the first day of the National Day holiday, she took her mother to her maternal grandmother's house and set off with her cousins ​​to visit Huangguoshu Waterfall.

As for Su Fengnan, she knew that Ning Xiaojun was soft-hearted and indecisive, so she couldn't interfere too much. She could only occasionally offer some ideas to guide her and let her see the true nature of the scumbag.

After seeing Ning Xiaojun off, Su Fengnan returned home and, together with her younger sister Su Fengxia, video-chatted with their parents. Since the summer vacation began, the family's relationship had grown increasingly close. Before, they could only call or write letters, but now they could video-chat whenever they wanted to see each other.

"Dad, how's the online store doing lately? Did you do any promotions for National Day? Don't miss this great opportunity to make money."

Su Guoyuan's cheerful voice came through the video: "Don't worry, your dad's not stupid. How could he not participate in such a great holiday event? And you guys, are you all doing well?"

"We're all fine, so don't worry."

"Mom, please keep an eye on Dad and don't let him overwork himself. He's just recovered, so he needs to rest. I'll prepare some local specialties from our hometown and send them to you in a couple of days."

"Oh dear, why send it? It's such a hassle." Wen Xiaofen felt sorry for her daughter.

"What trouble is there? Tell me what kind of breakfast you'd like to eat so I can prepare to send it together."

"Okay, I'll ask your uncle tomorrow if they want anything, and you can send it all together then."

"Okay." Su Fengnan nodded in agreement.

Where is my youngest sister?

"Mom, I'm here." Su Fengnan quickly handed the phone to Su Fengxia.

"How's it going to study at No. 1 High School? Are the teachers strict?" In the video, Wen Xiaofen had a loving smile on her face.

"It's alright, but the teachers are too strict, they're all quite fierce."

"You're not a naughty child, so don't be afraid even if the teacher is strict. Just tell us what you need, and we'll send you the money."

"Yes, I have them all. My sister gave me the money."

The family chatted for a while, sharing all the big and small things happening in their home, before reluctantly turning off the video call.

Su Fengnan was pondering how to tell Zhou Chenyu about going to Zhucheng when her phone vibrated; it was a message from him.

"What time are you going to build the castle tomorrow?"

Zhou Chenyu was working in his study when he realized he hadn't received any messages from Su Fengnan so late, so he simply sent her a message to ask.

Su Fengnan replied quickly: "Brother Zhou, do you have any other plans for National Day? I'm planning to go tomorrow morning."

"I don't have any plans for the holiday right now. You can ride with me tomorrow morning, and we'll go together."

"Okay, as long as it doesn't take up your time."

"No, what time do we leave tomorrow?"

Su Fengnan thought for a moment and typed, "Actually, I want to leave tonight. I'm afraid of traffic jams tomorrow."
