In the original host's memories, it was a day when Mingyue was eight years old.
Her mother, who used to pick her up from school every day, did not appear.
Since the school was not far from her home, after waiting for a long time, she walked home by herself.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw her father sitting dejectedly on the sofa.
Seeing her return, he slapped his head hard.
Then he hugged her tightly, sobbing silently.
She was a little scared and called out for her mother.
Her father told her that her mother was gone, that she had left them.
Upon hearing this, Mingyue cried incessantly.
Although her father comforted her, he looked as if his soul had been drained.
Later, Tang Yong died saving him.
Tang Shi and her daughter moved into their home, like a cuckoo taking over a magpie's nest.
Mingyue resented He Si for his heartlessness and for betraying her mother, so she stopped talking to him.
Thus, for so many years, the original host never knew the cause of Ming Yanan's death.
Now that the father and daughter's misunderstanding had been resolved, they were reminiscing about the past together.
Coupled with Ming Yanan's involvement in the alteration of the world's trajectory.
Mingyue wanted to understand more, so she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"I thought you were too young and had already forgotten about it.
You were young back then, and I didn't want to scare you.
Nor did I want you to carry a psychological burden at such a young age because of this incident.
I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would feel guilty.
Back then, your mother went to pick you up from school, but halfway there.
A dump truck full of construction waste suddenly overturned.
It crushed your mother. By the time I received the notification and rushed over.
Her body had already been dug out, unrecognizable, no longer in human form.
I only identified her by the clothes, jewelry, and personal identification she was wearing.
Only then did I confirm that the deceased was your mother.
You were still young then, and I was afraid you would be scared if you saw her.
Also, she died because she was going to pick you up from school.
I was afraid you would feel burdened by this.
I was afraid it would leave a psychological shadow, so I didn't tell you.
I didn't let you attend the funeral and buried your mother by myself."
He Si said with a look of grief, recalling the painful scene.
"Dad, thank you! Don't be sad anymore.
Mom wouldn't want to see you like this."
Mingyue held He Si's cold hand, a warm current surging in her heart.
He Si was a good father. Even though he was enduring the heart-wrenching pain of losing his wife.
He still remembered to protect his daughter, not wanting her to have childhood trauma.
This deep fatherly love deeply moved Mingyue.
After staying with He Si for a while, Mingyue left when his emotions had calmed down.
Ji Shiyou had already instructed Ba Jiu and Bao Bao, telling them.
That he and Mingyue needed to leave for a while.
After making arrangements, he went to see Ren Jian.
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he went to wait for Mingyue outside the Purple Gold Palace.
When Mingyue saw him, they tacitly did not say much.
They just exchanged a smile, and Mingyue activated the Heavenly Dao Disk.
With a flash of light, their figures disappeared.
"This is Wangjiang University. I must say, even though it wasn't me who studied here back then.
It still feels quite familiar! Like revisiting an old place."
Standing in front of Wangjiang University, filled with scholarly atmosphere, Mingyue felt a surge of emotion.
The Heavenly Dao Disk had taken her and Ji Shiyou back twenty-five years.
And it had arranged identities for the two of them.
Mingyue was still called Mingyue, with the identity of a transfer student.
She was in the same class as her mother, Ming Yanan, and it was her first day reporting.
The original host had also attended this university back then, so she was very familiar with it.
Although more than twenty years had passed, the general layout of the school was still the same.
Following the memories of the original host, Mingyue didn't need to ask for directions.
She smoothly completed the enrollment procedures and arrived at her assigned class.
After introducing herself to the entire class.
She successfully sat next to her mother.
"Hello, I, I'm Mingyue.
It's nice to meet you! You're so beautiful."
Sitting next to the person from her memories, Mingyue felt inexplicably nervous.
She said excitedly to Ming Yanan, accidentally knocking her pencil case off the desk.
"Puchi!"
"Are you very nervous? Didn't you forget?
Didn't you just introduce yourself in front of everyone?
Also, we are classmates, we are the same age.
Calling you 'you' makes me sound old.
My name is Ming Yanan, and I also have the surname Ming. I'm from Wangjiang City.
Where are you from? Maybe we're from the same ancestor.
From now on, we'll be sisters. Don't be nervous. I'll look out for you.
I liked you the moment I saw you, because we are both good-looking people."
Ming Yanan was as cheerful as in her memories. She bent down to help Mingyue.
She picked up the pencil case from the ground and, holding Mingyue's hand, spoke familiarly.
Being held by Ming Yanan, Mingyue felt a wave of connection.
However, she couldn't help but inwardly complain, of course, we're from the same ancestor.
I'm the one you gave birth to, you're my mom!
Is it a bit strange for mother and daughter to become sisters now?
Although she thought this, she did not show it on her face.
"I'm from Linhai and have never been to Wangjiang City before.
Could I trouble you with something? I'm not familiar with this school at all.
Why don't you be my guide and show me around?
As a reward, I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"
Mingyue, who was extremely familiar with Wangjiang University, said this against her will to get closer.
"Okay, okay, I'm happy to help.
Let me tell you, there are many delicious places near our school.
..."
Ming Yanan took an instant liking to Mingyue. Two hours later, they felt like they had known each other for a lifetime.
When she found out that Mingyue was in the same dormitory as her, room 302.
She exclaimed about fate.
She never imagined that it was all arranged.
If they didn't live together, how could they complete the mission and prevent her from developing feelings for someone else?
That night, after a hearty meal, they returned to the dormitory.
Ming Yanan and Mingyue had already become inseparable best friends.
It was as if they had grown up together and known each other for decades.
"Yanan, there should be two other students in this dormitory, right?
It's already dark, why haven't they come back yet?"
Entering the dormitory, Mingyue asked curiously, not seeing the other two roommates.
"They are all from Wangjiang and basically don't live in the dormitory.
They registered for accommodation just to have a place to lie down during their lunch break.
Mingyue, where is your luggage?"
Ming Yanan moved the clutter piled on the only empty bed in the dormitory.
After tidying it up, she couldn't find Mingyue's luggage and asked curiously.
"Ah! That, that, I don't like to bring things when I go out.
I thought I'd buy new things when I got here. I went straight to class after reporting today.
I didn't have time to buy anything. Can you accompany me to buy some when I have time?"
The Heavenly Dao Disk could arrange an identity for her, but it couldn't prepare her luggage.
Caught off guard by Ming Yanan's question, she didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to gloss over it.
"There are still three days until the weekend. If you don't mind these few days.
Can you squeeze in with me?"
Hearing Mingyue say this, Ming Yanan stopped tidying up.
She pulled Mingyue to sit on her bed and said intimately.
She liked being close to Mingyue now and always had the urge to hug her.
"Of course, I don't mind. Yanan, aren't you also from here?
Why are you staying in the dormitory and not going home?"
Mingyue also liked being so close to Ming Yanan.
That feeling made her feel relaxed and comfortable.
However, she did not forget her mission and hoped to understand more.
"I'm an orphan. I grew up with my aunt.
Three years ago, my aunt also passed away.
So it doesn't matter if I go home or not. I'll be alone anyway.
It's better to stay in the dormitory. Now that I have you with me, I'm even less lonely."
Ming Yanan picked up a pillow from the bed and said faintly.
"Do you have a boyfriend? Or someone you like?"
Mingyue asked cautiously, staring at Ming Yanan.
