"Do you think I should tell Mother about this?"
Kang Li sought Luo Yanqing’s opinion.
"Of course you should, but when to say it depends on you." After a mont of silence, Luo Yanqing added, "Maybe wait until you’re ready to reveal the whole story."
"I agree with you, and besides... it feels a bit unreliable to just speculate based on a photo and a letter from Grandma Yu."
"With this photo, I think it’s almost certain."
"There are many people who look alike in this world, does that an they all have so blood relation?"
"That’s true... but take a closer look at this photo. If you were to wear those clothes and braid your hair in two plaits hanging over your chest, it would be hard to distinguish between the two of you."
"You wouldn’t be able to tell them apart either?"
Kang Li squinted her fox-like eyes, staring straight at Luo Yanqing.
With a sudden awareness for survival, Luo Yanqing shook his head: "I can tell with one glance that this isn’t you."
Kang Li: "How can you tell?"
Luo Yanqing: "The deanor and the eyes. Although the gaze in the photo is as pure and transparent as yours, she overall gives off a fragile impression, and seems quite introverted."
Kang Li: "What about ?"
Luo Yanqing: "You’re like a bright pearl, radiating dazzling light wherever you are, making it impossible for to look away."
"You really know how to sweet talk."
A trace of smile flickered in her beautiful eyes as Kang Li took the photo from Luo Yanqing’s hand: "This looks like a well-bred young lady, both gentle and serene."
Luo Yanqing said, almost instinctively: "You’re a Little Fairy, serene like a maiden but quick and agile like a rabbit. In my heart, no one else compares."
"I’m almost floating from your rainbow flattery!"
Kang Li chuckled.
"Rainbow flattery?"
Luo Yanqing clearly didn’t understand what it ant.
Kang Li explained: "It ans words of praise."
"You have so many new phrases in your mouth, I’ve heard quite a few from Luo Mingrui and the others, seems like they learned it from you." Luo Yanqing’s delicate eyes were filled with a smile, hearing this, Kang Li raised an eyebrow: "Jealous?"
Luo Yanqing: "Certainly, but I’m more delighted that my wife knows so much!"
Kang Li laughed: "Your rainbow flattery is endless!" As she drew out the letter, Kang Li unfolded it, and casually said as she looked at the handwriting: "This elegant cursive is beautiful, it gives a refined, graceful feeling at a glance, which matches Grandma Yu’s expressed aura well!"
Suddenly, Kang Li’s expression changed: "Luo Yanqing..."
Seeing her like this, Luo Yanqing involuntarily showed a hint of nervousness: "What’s wrong?"
Kang Li grasped Luo Yanqing’s hand, she said: "When I accompanied Grandpa Xiao back to the courtyard, he told many things, now that I recall, I... I have a bad feeling..."
"A bad feeling?"
Luo Yanqing held Kang Li’s hand, comforting: "Perhaps you’re overthinking it!"
"I hope it’s just overthinking, but whenever I think of the things Grandpa Xiao said, it feels like he was leaving his last words..." Kang Li couldn’t sit still for a mont.
Luo Yanqing drew her into his embrace: "Grandpa Xiao looks energetic, don’t scare yourself. If you are really worried, we can go see him first thing tomorrow morning."
"Mm..."
On the other side, Old Man Xiao cleaned the courtyard and the house thoroughly, then stood at the door looking at the empty courtyard, turned back into the room, again looked at the vast room without the figure he longed to see, his eyes dimd, and he sat by the bed where Old Lady Yu used to sleep, gazing at the pillow placed on the bed, sitting there until late into the night.
"The world truly is changing for the better, Li Bao should have no issues, I’ve told the young girl everything you wanted to say, and now I want to follow my own heart to make a decision, don’t bla , I’m afraid if I wait any longer... I won’t be able to catch up to you..."
