The Reason Shen Qin Was Adopted

Gu Yang and Shen Qin exchanged a look, each filled with mixed emotions.

After Shen Qin was adopted and left the Cloud Rising Orphanage, they hadn't seen each other again. At first, they kept in touch regularly, but over time, as Shen Qin got busier with school, their contact faded.

Shen Qin gazed at the familiar yet changed girl in front of her, then lowered her head, speaking softly, "Yangyang, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you."

Gu Yang gently touched her head. "I don't blame you."

Hearing her soft voice, Shen Qin felt a lump in her throat. "But everyone else recognized me. Only I didn't…"

Gu Yang remembered the obedient and thoughtful Shen Qin from their childhood, and she spoke to her kindly. "Your memory wasn't affected by the UO. You still remember how I looked before."
