Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 681 - 283

"He is my uncle’s lifesaver."

Shen You’an replied concisely.

Rong Xianning gave Shen You’an a deep look, something flickered in her eyes, then she quietly lowered her head.

Feng Cheng showed great interest.

"Lifesaver? Miss, are you a local of Qingzhou?"

Feng Cheng seemed to have found the key point.

"Yes."

"So, Aning, this isn’t your first time in Qingzhou?"

Rong Xianning: "When did I ever say it was my first time in Qingzhou?"

Feng Cheng scratched his head; it seemed Aning really hadn’t said that before.

Aning’s personal data showed he was from Yunzhou, and only after being discovered by Eternal Century did he settle permanently in Jingzhou. Apart from frequently traveling to Chunzhou for recording shows, he stayed in Jingzhou most of the time.

His personal data only briefly mentioned his past experiences; other than being from Yunzhou, nothing else was known, very mysterious.

Now knowing that he had also been to Qingzhou before, Feng Cheng became even more curious.

Rong Xianning lowered her eyes, watching the floating tea leaves in the disposable cup, her voice was as light as a wisp of smoke: "My maternal family is from Qingzhou, and I lived there with my grandmother for a while during my childhood."

So, he wasn’t unfamiliar with this city.

Although it held the most beautiful memories of his life, it also had nightmarish experiences he didn’t want to recall.

Shen You’an lifted her eyes and glanced at Rong Xianning.

Qi Baotan could relate: "When I was a child, my parents went out to work, so I was also raised by my grandmother."

Rong Xianning personally revealing childhood experiences was definitely first-hand news, the kind that could trend on hot searches.

Given Rong Xianning’s character, since he could talk about it, it signified his trust in the few of them, and they tacitly kept it to themselves.

Feng Cheng weakly raised his hand, "To be honest, same here."

His situation was a bit worse; all his elder cousins were with their grandparents, and when he was a child, he was thin and weak, only to be bullied by his cousins.

Only those who’ve experienced it know how bitter it is in the hearts of left-behind children.

"Miss, how about you?" Feng Cheng was now most curious about Shen You’an and threw the topic back to her.

Shen You’an drank a sip of tea, her tone excessively calm.

"I grew up with my uncle."

Feng Cheng couldn’t quite register: "Uncle? Then what about your parents?"

Rong Xianning tugged his sleeve, her gaze warning him not to ask further.

Qi Baotan seemed to have guessed something and held Shen You’an’s hand.

Shen You’an did not avoid the question and said plainly: "My mother passed away very early, and my father... died in the line of duty when I was five."

Her tone was so flat as if she was discussing someone else’s story. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Feng Cheng almost wished he could bite his own tongue off, thinking he’d slap himself awake in the middle of the night.

I’m really not a decent person.

"Your uncle... is a great hero," Feng Cheng quickly tried to redeem himself.

Qi Baotan looked at Shen You’an with eyes full of compassion, tightly holding her hand.

Nobody noticed the shattered, suppressed, and sorrowful glimmer in Rong Xianning’s clear eyes across the table.

The dishes began to be served, and Feng Cheng broke the tension by being comical, clearing the heavy atmosphere with laughter and cheer.

Feng Cheng also learned that the beautiful Miss was called Shen You’an, a freshman in high school, born and raised in Qingzhou.

"Miss, what year were you born?"

After Shen You’an answered, Feng Cheng started counting on his fingers: "You’re born in October, Aning in the following March, wow, you’re six months older than Aning, and three months older than me, so calling you sister was indeed right."

This newly met Miss was beautiful and easy-going, which he quite liked.
