Only Ning Yiruo is like a sunflower.

Ning Xiao reached out to touch the Jade Gourd on his neck.

Afternoon.

Bai Lian sat at her desk, the sun slanting in through the window.

To the right were stacks of books, and under a nearby inkstone, a piece of white paper lay pinned down, inscribed with several lines of shorthand musical notation.

The room’s door was open, and Ji Heng entered from the courtyard holding a dark, old wooden box in his hands.

The box was locked with a small padlock.

“Take a look inside,” said Ji Heng, seeing that she wasn’t doing homework, and he placed the box in front of her and handed Bai Lian the small key. “These are photos of your grandmother.”

Bai Lian reached out for the key and bent her head to insert it into the lock.

Ji Heng stood by and watched as she opened the small wooden box.

What met her eyes first was an old black-and-white photo of a woman in a traditional cheongsam, dignified and elegant, her features exuding an extraordinary Eastern charm.

Besides that one, there were many more.

Almost every single one featured a cheongsam, and a few thin sheets appeared to have been cut from books, newspapers, or magazines.

They had been well preserved.

Ji Heng, who smelled slightly of smoke, let his gaze fall on the photos, his turbid eyes revealing hardly any emotion.

Bai Lian gently flipped through the pile of old pictures, delicately holding the edges of those cut from newspapers, exceedingly cautious in her movements.

When the old photos had all been looked through, beneath them in the box, Bai Lian saw two small medals.

The medals seemed quite old, with a letter inscribed in the middle and two small leaves on either side.

She had never seen such medals before.

“Just take a look by yourself, don’t take them out,” Ji Heng remarked casually as he saw her handling the medals, then he withdrew his gaze, looking through Bai Lian’s window at the embroidery stand in the courtyard and suddenly said, “I didn’t expect your uncle and your mother, with so many people in the family, to be uninterested in academia. Instead, it’s you. Do you want to go back to the Mu Family?”

The Mu Family?

Bai Lian lifted her head, hearing this name for the first time, “The Mu Family?”

“My biological parents’ house, though I didn’t grow up in the Mu Family,” explained Ji Heng nonchalantly, “The Mu Family… they’re researchers, quite formidable in the past, but their situation isn’t too good now…”
