"Familiar?" Xiu An was momentarily stunned.

He recalled Ye Shaohua’s face, so bright and unlike anyone else from the village, and felt like it was somewhat familiar.

But he couldn’t quite remember where he had seen her.

Xun Hao watched Ye Shaohua and Grandma Ye until their figures disappeared, then he withdrew his gaze.

"She really looks like that..." He began to say but suddenly laughed, "What am I thinking? If she were really from that family in Imperial City, how could she have ended up in this little mountain village?"

However, the girl was unnervingly composed.

Even Lin Ying was very obviously trying to ingratiate herself with their group, but Ye Shaohua had been calm from the start.

Thinking this, Xun Hao shook his head.

He had probably thought too much.

He looked down at the perfume Grandma Ye had given him, smiled, and decided to keep it because it smelled good.

**

It was the peak of the summer vacation, but luckily, not many people were taking the train to Imperial City because the trip was quite long.

The two of them managed to get seated tickets and sat for forty-eight hours until they finally arrived in Imperial City.

They hadn’t found any place to rest along the way, but unlike the other passengers, they didn’t have any strange odor emanating from them; instead, a faint fragrance lingered.

Of course, there was still the conflicting smell of the sausages and cured meat in their luggage.

"This is the place." Grandma Ye didn’t rush to find a house. Instead, they took a bus and walked for a long time with an old yellowed piece of paper until they reached an old community in a district of the City Center, climbed to the third floor, and knocked on a door.

The door opened quickly to reveal an elderly grandmother with somewhat white hair.

"Shaohua, this is your second grandmother," Grandma Ye sighed in relief and turned to Ye Shaohua, "Say hello..."

The old lady, dressed in clean, fashionable clothes, stepped back with disdain upon seeing the peasantry clothes of Grandma Ye, "I’ve just changed into new clothes; don’t dirty them..."

Especially with the smell of sausage and cured meat coming from the snake skin bag.

This second grandmother’s expression was filled with disgust and resistance.

Grandma Ye felt out of place more than ever and took a step back, not knowing what to do.

"What do you want?" The second grandmother looked at the snake skin bag on the ground and spoke impatiently, "My granddaughter has been admitted to Imperial University, and I need to take her out for a meal soon."

This was clearly a dismissal.

A girl in a blue skirt inside the house glanced at the two outside with evident contempt and disdain.

She promptly withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at them, "Grandma, please hurry; my classmates will be arriving soon."

"Then we’ll just be going," Grandma Ye opened her mouth to speak.

As soon as she finished talking,

the door was slammed shut with a "bang."

"This is your second uncle’s home. When college entrance exams were reinstated, your grandfather spent everything to send your second uncle to study in Imperial City. He was the only one in the family to make it to university. I never expected..." Grandma Ye sighed but had anticipated the reception.

Ye Shaohua casually picked up the large snake skin bag, "Don’t worry, I’ve already found a place and paid three months’ rent."

Grandma Ye was surprised at her speed and also puzzled about where she got the money.

"Didn’t I solve a math problem before? I received an award from the Mathematics Association for it. You don’t have to worry about my tuition," Ye Shaohua said casually. Then she went out and hailed a taxi to the rented place.

The apartment was a bit distant from the City Center but not too far from the second grandmother’s house.

A two-room and one-living-room layout, each space wasn’t very large; altogether it was less than forty-five square meters.

In order not to shock Grandma Ye, Ye Shaohua had rented a modest apartment, yet Grandma Ye was still amazed for a long time. It was so much better than the houses in the village.

Since it was still the summer holidays, Ye Shaohua and Grandma Ye spent several days cleaning and arranging the apartment. Then Ye Shaohua found a job as a perfumer for the summer, without going to the place that Xun Hao had recommended.

Grandma Ye made and sold breakfast.

When Ye Shaohua returned in the evening, she would ponder over perfumery in her room. In nearly a month’s time, she had figured out how to mix various scents to achieve the best effects.

The day was approaching the start of the semester, and Ye Shaohua just quit her job.

Just as she reached the doorstep, she noticed something was amiss.

She held her phone, "Then I’ll hang up first."

And she ended the call.

She took out her keys to open the door and saw three people seated in the spartan hall: a middle-aged couple and a girl about her age.

They were the son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter of Ye Shaohua’s second grandmother.

"Are you the granddaughter that my big mother adopted?" The middle-aged parents scanned Ye Shaohua from head to toe.

Ye Shaohua nodded, "Yes." Her tone was very cold.

Ye Longjun frowned at Ye Shaohua’s lack of manners, wanting to scold Grandma Ye for raising an adopted daughter so poorly.

But thinking of Grandma Ye as his elder, he restrained himself from saying anything to her face.

Ye Mingyou sat on a wooden stool, already showing impatience. When she saw Ye Shaohua, she quickly shifted her attention away, not giving Ye Shaohua another glance, and lowered her head to play with her Li Zi phone.

"Before he passed away, my father made me promise to take good care of you," Ye Longjun withdrew his gaze and turned to Grandma Ye, "Shaohua should be of school age now, right? I heard there aren’t many good schools in the village, so here’s what we’ll do: I’ve got some connections at the school, I can arrange for Shaohua to attend No. 1 High School. Our family has a history in perfumery; after she gets into university, she can study a perfumery major, and maybe even work at the He Family’s business."

Grandma Ye asked, "The He Family that specializes in perfumes? I thought they didn’t hire outsiders?"

Ye Mingyou looked at Grandma Ye in surprise, "Big grandma, you seem to know quite a bit, huh?"

"Mingyou," Ye Longjun glanced at his daughter, but didn’t scold her, instead addressing Grandma Ye, "You surely know that life in Imperial City isn’t easy. Let Shaohua go to high school and get a diploma."

Grandma Ye shook her head, "No need, Shaohua has been admitted to Imperial University. She came here to attend university."
