"Go and shower first. I'll go and make some honey water," Lina said to Sheng Jiaoyang.

Sheng Jiaoyang nodded as she casually flipped through Lina's wardrobe. Then, she grabbed a pair of pajamas and a new pair of underwear before entering the bathroom.

After she'd finished showering, she found that Lina still hadn't returned. Finding it strange, Sheng Jiaoyang went out to search for her. She was very familiar with Lina's house, and in the past, she'd almost lived in it like her own home for a while.

Sheng Jiaoyang's steps slowed before reaching the staircase. From there, she could see Lina sitting on the living room sofa with Aunty Lin and Lin Yan sitting across from her. What she saw next astonished her; she could actually see Lin Yu!

How come Lin Yu is here?

The sound of Sheng Jiaoyang's footsteps attracted the attention of the people in the living room.

"Jiaojiao, come here." Lina waved towards her.

"Jiaojiao?" Lin Xuejun looked at her daughter doubtfully.

"Her name's Xu Jiaojiao, my best friend." Lina and Sheng Jiaoyang had already talked it over and decided not to reveal her true identity to avoid extra trouble.

"How come I've never seen her before?"

"It's because I just met Jiaojiao the last time I went to China, where we fell at first sight-"

"Cough!" Lin Xuejun coughed lightly, reminding her, "It's 'felt familiar at first sight'."

Lina shrugged. "Isn't it pretty much the same thing?"

Lin Xuejun seemed helpless as she shook her head before giving Sheng Jiaoyang a warm and friendly smile. "Welcome to our home. If you need anything, just tell me or Nana."

"Alright, Aunty Lin." Sheng Jiaoyang smiled back.

A trace of astonishment flashed through Lin Xuejun's eyes. If it weren't for the other's height, features, and figure all being different, she would've believed that Sheng Jiaoyang had come back. She turned and glanced at Lin Yan and saw that he was also looking at Xu Jiaojiao. She didn't say anything as she reinspected the girl sitting together with Lina, not revealing her true thoughts.

Sheng Jiaoyang's gaze hopped between Lin Yan and Lin Yu, a strange expression on her face.

So they were really relatives then? They couldn't be brothers, right?

"Jiaojiao, he's my eldest maternal uncle's son," Lina answered Sheng Jiaoyang's thoughts.

"Your eldest maternal uncle?" Sheng Jiaoyang couldn't help but glance at Lin Xuejun. It's been so many years, yet she'd never heard Aunty Lin mention anything about her family. She'd always thought that Aunty Lin was an orphan.

"Hello! We meet again." Lin Yu smiled at her.

"You guys know each other?" Lin Yan asked.

"Of course, they know each other. They're a coup-" Lina had just started to answer when she felt herself giving away the secret and hurriedly stopped.

Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at Lina silently. Don't screw up, no matter what!

"She's my girlfriend's friend, so we've met before," Lin Yu said.

"Xiao Yu even has a girlfriend now?" Lin Xuejun's voice was soft.

Lin Yu nodded, his expression turning dark. "But, she got into an accident. Otherwise, I definitely would've brought her to see Aunty."
