He quickly stepped forward and blocked Elder Guan’s line of sight. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

Yao Yan placed a hand onYao Tang’s shoulder and said, “Dad, Mom, I’ll take Little Sister upstairs to get some rest first. She’s been studying all day, so she must be very tired.”

Yao Rong looked at the girl worriedly.

“Of course, of course. It has indeed been a long and tiring day. A student’s life is no joke. Go and get a nap before dinner. Tell me if you still feel tired later on; I’ll give your teacher a call and apply for your leave of absence.”

“Thanks, Dad,” Yao Yansmiled. “We’ll be taking our leave, then.”

Yao Tang allowed herself to feel relieved as they trudged up the stairs.

But when she glanced at Yao Yan, her temples started throbbing again. She might have managed to slip pastElder Guan, but how was she going to explain this to her brother?

She reached up and scratched her head in annoyance.

Elder Guan happened to look up just then, and the glint of the silver bracelet around her wrist immediately caught his eye.

“Hang on a minute, Little Friend!” he called out frantically, jumping to his feet.

Yao Tang stopped in her tracks, instantly realizing her mistake.

Elder Guan approached them, his eyes still fixed on the piece of jewelry. When he spoke, his tone was gentle and cautious, as if he were coaxing a child. “Little Friend, may I take a look at your bracelet? It looks very familiar, you see…”

Yao Tang stood still, her expression tight.

......

She didn’t want to show it to him!

Seeing her reaction, Yao Yanstepped up again and blockedElder Guan. “My sister is tired,Elder Guan. If you have something to discuss with her, you should do so later.”

But they had underestimated the old man’s tenacity. “It will be fine, I will just take one quick look, all right? I won’t even be a moment.”

Yao Rong cocked his head to the side, curious about the scene unfolding before him.

Yao Tang wasn’t one to deliberately avoid strangers. She was aloof, yes, but she had never acted this way before.

Could it be… That she was truly exhausted from all that studying?

On the other hand, Elder Guanwas slowly drawing closer to the youngsters.

The usually calm and undaunted Yao Tangbegan to feel uneasy as she listened to the old man’s footsteps behind her. She flicked her fingers twice.

Elder Guan stared at the girl’s back. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

Soon, he was just an arm’s length away. Before he could spin Yao Tangaround to face him, she turned around on her own.

“Yao…”

Elder Guan began, a cold smile flashing on his face.

But the rest of his words died on his lips, and his eyes widened in surprise.

He didn’t know this girl’s face at all. It was completely different from Yao Tang’s. It was very ordinary, and couldn’t even compare to a third ofYao Tang’s beauty.

“Have I made a mistake?” he muttered under his breath.

He stubbornly looked at the girl from head to toe, desperate for a clue that she was Yao Tang, after all.

And yet, he couldn’t find anything.

The girl in front of him was, without a doubt, a different person.

“What were you about to say?” Yao Tangasked innocently. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Elder Guan waved his hand and peered at her again.

Yao Yan stood aside, his gaze darting back and forth between the old man and his sister. He said nothing, but he already had a vague understanding in his mind.

Just a few seconds ago, when Elder Guanwas still approaching them,Yao Tanghad whipped out a pair of glasses from her bag and put them on.

Just like that, her face immediately changed, turning into a very common appearance.

His eyes narrowed slightly as they fell on her now, but he remained silent.

Frowning, Elder Guanglanced at the bracelet again. It was what had misled him in the first place.

“Girl,” he said with some trepidation. “Where did you get this bracelet?”

Yao Tang’s heart was thundering inside her chest. She pressed her lips together and didn’t say anything.

“Elder Guan,” Yao Yanfinally intervened. “Do you like the bracelet as well? I bought it at the mall. It’s from a silver jewelry store on the first floor.”

He shot the old man an amiable look.

“Oh?” Elder Guan’s expression softened as he nodded. “I see, so that’s how it is. I do think it looks very nice. I think I’d like to buy one for my granddaughter.”

Deep down, a voice told him that he was missing something, that an important detail was escaping his notice.

He gave in and surveyed Yao Tangyet again, but he still didn’t find anything.

It was just an honest mistake, plain and simple.

‘That’s right! It wouldn’t be the first time my eyes are playing tricks on me, anyway!’

Lately, when he was out on the streets walking, or even when he was in his car, whenever his mind went idle, he would always think that he had spotted Yao Tangsomewhere. But, of course, it never was her.

Elder Guan shook his head and sighed. What a pity.
