In the Tian Xian Chinese Restaurant ---
"Bro, why are you so interested in this Shui Miaomiao?" Jiang Nanfeng asked discreetly.
Shen Mochen took his phone out, unlocked a password-protected photo, and showed it to Jiang Nanfeng.
When Jiang Nanfeng saw the photo on Shen Mochen's phone, he was completely stunned.
There was a sweet girl with a bob haircut in the photo. She was standing under the sun with a radiant smile on her face.
At first sight, he thought that was Shui Miaomiao.
Same face shape, same nose, same lips.
The only difference between them was their eyes. The girl in the photo had eyes shaped like the leaf of a willow tree, which reminded people of autumn. They were gentle and soft, like water. They were also shining like water shimmering under the sun.
Shui Miaomiao's eyes were much bigger, and she had almond-shaped irises. When she narrowed her eyes, they turned into two little crescent moons. Her eyes told the story of a witty girl. It looked like there were a million stars in those eyes, intoxicating but not coquettish.
They looked like, but they had entirely different temperaments.
"Why does she look so similar to Shui Miaomiao? Is she Shui Miaomiao's sister?" Jiang Nanfeng asked suspiciously.
Jiang Nanfeng was holding his wine glass gracefully, his eyes darkened gradually, obscuring his wisdom, connotation, and experiences.
"She's Li Sisi. I met her when I was studying in the U.S., she was my girlfriend, and we loved each other so much. One day, she told me that she didn't want to hurt me and that someone had sent her to spy on and control me. After that, she disappeared. I looked for her everywhere, but I couldn't find her.
Then, on my father's birthday, I got drunk. She broke into my room through the window and told me that she missed me and loved me very much. We had sex. And then I got the news about my father's suicide later that night, and I had to leave early. When I went back for her, she was already gone," Shen Mochen was lost in reminiscence.
"Is this Shui Miaomiao who you are looking for?" asked Jiang Nanfeng.
"I don't know. I did a background check on Li Sisi, and I couldn't find anything about her. This girl's background checks too came up empty. I sometimes wonder if she had amnesia and forgot about me, or if she had plastic surgery. I tried to test her, she was very cautious when talking about her past," Shen Mochen said.
"Got it, bro. I will dig up some answers for you," Jiang Nanfeng assured him.
Shen Mochen smiled.
He was looking forward to seeing her again.
In the afternoon ---
Shui Miaomiao simply ate something in the cafeteria and then went to her classroom and rested her arms and head on the desk.
However, she didn't fall asleep.
Yanyan was helping her to sell the saber; they kept on talking on QQ.
"Mom, actually, I have some money that I secretly stashed away. It was meant for you when you get married. If you urgently need the money, I'll give it to you now. You can keep the saber if you like it."
Shui Miaomiao was moved by Yanyan's message.
The effort she put in to raise the kid was all worth it.
"You keep your stash, having a girlfriend costs money. Your ability to settle your problem makes mommy even prouder of you. Just sell the saber, I don't like it anymore," Shui Miaomiao replied.
She stretched herself and looked around.
It was weird. Usually, Shui Miaomiao's classmates were either absent or late to class.
Today, everybody was already here even before the class began. There were also some students from the other classes.
The classroom became full in a short time.
Shui Miaomiao nudged classmate A with the elbow and asked smilingly, "Is the teacher giving out some super pills? Everyone is here early."
"You don't know? The class in the afternoon was changed to the subject Hosting and Performing," Classmate A's voice was lined with excitement.
Shui Miaomiao did not know that. She reacted with an "oh."
Shui Miaomiao was guessing that maybe the bald teacher of the Hosting and Performing Lesson had a sudden hormone explosion that his hair regrew. Or else, why would anyone be interested?
