On a weekend night, Lu Xinyue and I decided to relax and went to the night market not far from the residential area to stroll around and eat and drink.

When I was picking a headpiece at a small stall, my shoulder was tapped, and a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice with a hint of uncertainty sounded behind me, saying, "Sis?"

As I turned around, I saw a guy with silver hair and wearing a white hoodie standing behind me, accompanied by a mature-looking girl.

The familiar face made me feel uneasy.

Although it had been six years since we last met, this face didn't look much different from my memory, just more mature.

I suppressed my anxiety and awkwardly smiled, "Sorry, did you mistake me for someone else?"

I had changed a lot in these six years.

After improving my quality of life, I was no longer the thin and weak girl I used to be. I had also put on makeup and styled my hair, hoping he wouldn't recognize me.

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I think I mistook you for someone else," and left.

Before leaving, he glanced back at me a few times.

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling my palms sweaty.

Lu Xinyue was happily checking out her purchases nearby, while I quickly pulled her in the opposite direction.

Lu Xinyue was puzzled but let me lead her for a while before asking, "What's wrong, Xingxing? Why are you so nervous?"

I kept looking back repeatedly before finally speaking with lingering fear, "I think I just saw my younger brother."

I had previously told Lu Xinyue about my family situation.

Upon hearing this, she immediately dragged me home, muttering, "Let's go home quickly, don't stay here."

Once back home, Lu Xinyue hurriedly packed things up. I asked her what she was doing.

She said, "We're moving, you ran into your brother here, we should move out quickly and find another place to live."

I was speechless, "Move where? This place is close to my company and your institution, why move?"

We had searched for a long time to find this satisfactory place initially.

Before she could say more, I took the things from her hand, pushed her into her room, and said, "Quickly tidy up and take a shower, don't worry about anything else."

Some things couldn't be solved by avoiding them.

That day, my brother's appearance was like a small pebble thrown into my calm life, causing a slight ripple that quickly settled down.

I continued shuttling between work, home, and the institution, but during that time, we never went to the night market again.

On Saturday, after Lu Xinyue and I returned from the institution, she mentioned her idea of investing in opening a dessert shop.

She said, "I've been looking around recently, and there's a shop right across from our institution that's up for sale. Why don't we buy it and open a dessert shop?"

Lu Xinyue liked those things and often made desserts. She sold well at the night market when she was bored at home.

I asked, "Who will manage it on weekends? I don't know how to make desserts, and you have classes on weekends."

Lu Xinyue fell into silence.

Suddenly, a few figures rushed over from the side, and before I could see their faces clearly, I was scolded harshly.

"Yang Xing, you heartless thing, disappeared for six years without a word, didn't die outside, and now you're doing so well! Living in such a high-end neighborhood, you've forgotten about us, right?"

"We were worried you'd starve to death when you left, but who would have thought, you're doing so well now. The village head was right, going to high school can earn you big money. You should thank us properly!"

I pulled Lu Xinyue back a few steps, looking at the middle-aged couple with half-white hair in front of me, and their brother with silver hair standing behind them.

He smiled smugly.
